MEMORIAL DAY.
Letter by j. w. Tritsch to
the Fairfield PickaWay
News

1t is pleasing coincidence that
the custom of decorating the
graves of the soldiers of the war
between the states originated in a
little town named Columbus, al
though that town was in Georgia,
not in Ohio. There the sugges
tion of this annual tribute to the
heroic dead was made by woman
member of the Columbus, Ca,
Memorial Association, and the
first decorating day was celebrated
on April 26, 1866, or two years be-.
fore Gen. Logan, as commander of
the G.. A. r., issued the procla-
nation to members Of that organ
ization which resulted in the pres-
ent annual Memorial Day in the
north, on May 30th. A beautiful
feature of that first Decoration
Day, celebrated away down in
that little Georgia town, was the
fact that the graves of Confeder
and Union Soldiers were decorated
lmpartially, although the cere-
monies were conducted by Ex-Con-
federates and their relatives and
friends. That is characteristic of
the southland spirit. Every year
the Ex- -Confederates who decorate
the graves of their comrades in
the beautiful Arlington, the Ma
tional Cemetery, at Washington,
also strew flowers on the spot
where are inferred the bones of
more than two thousand unidenti-
fed Union dead. And they do
not forget to pay tribute to the
memory of William Mckinley,
through whose effort section of
Arlington was set apart for Con-
federate use.
These things are as they should
be, for without such an exchange
of fraternal thoughtfulness and
atfectionate memory this Republic
could not have become, nor could
it remain united country. These
things are indicative of the spirit
that binds the people of this coun-
try, and is the surest guarantee of
our National strength.
A few years ago 1 made a visit
to the South over some of the old
Battle Fields In Tennessee and
Georgia, and the most gratifying
thing that found was the cordial
good feeling existing between the
Union and Confederate soldiers,
and can say, without hesitation,
that among the best friends of our
comrades in the south today, are
surviving Ex-Confederates. AS
we grow older our hearts become
more gentle and tender, and next
to the comrade who stood by our
side, is the brave soldier who faced
us on many battle fields.

THE CONFERENCE of the Govern
ors of States, at the White House
In Washington last week, marked
an epoch in history. President
Roosevelt called together the gov
ernors of all the states OF the
United States, and invited with
the conference his cabinet and five
distinguished guests = William
Jennings Bryan, Andrew Carnagie,
James j. Hill, Grover Cleveland
and John Mitchell. The confer
ence was one of the 81 andest gath
erings of distinguished Americans
ever assembled in our history.
The object of the conference was
the getting together of the state
administrations with that of the
government for the taking Of
proper measures to ''best conserve
our natural resources. (" The meet

Judge Wright Eloquent.

In speaking of the Senatorial
Convention held in Logan, May z,
the Athens Journal has the follow
ing to say of Judge Wright:
"Judge Wright was then called
upon and he seemed to be at his
best. Though he had just passed
through Il strenuous campaign in
the state convention. he was still
there with the goods His elo-
quence seemed more and more to
bend itself to the good, and he
made one of the most soratorical
short speeches ever heardsin con
vention in this valley"

No STRONGER approval could be
given the work of the recent
Democratic state convention than
the almost total absence of criti-
clsm by Republican newspapers of
the personnel of the ticket nomin-
ated. Here and there crOak
from some dyspeptic Republican
editor can be heard, but as rule
the comments have been exceed
ingly favorable to Judge Harmon,
the candidate for governor, and
all his colleagues. The Democrat
ic press appears to be unanimous
in it's praise. The ticket is indeed
a strong one-nOt weak spot in
it-and just the kind needed with
the proper campaign management
to make victory certain. The
geographical distribution, too, is
exceptionally fine, all sections OF
the state being represented. The
opposition press also generally con-
cedes that there was no boss made
slate and that the nominations
were made by the delegates. All
this is in striking contrast to the
late Republican convention, which
was absolutely dominated by
Bosses Cox, Guilbert, Brown and
Karshner, who dictated the ticket
from top to bottom, and whose
work was so brazenly done as to
cause open reputation by score
or more of the leading Republican
papers and the revolt of the usands
of members of the party. Condi-
tions certainly were never more
propitious for Democratic VIC
tory in Ohio. The ticket ia all
right, the platform is all right and
all that is needed to insure success
at the polls is the selection of a
campaign manager, the chairman
of the executive committee, who
will command the respect of the
people, who is in touch with the
local workers in all the counties
of the state, who is competent to
do things and, more than all else,
one in whom the Bryan voters and
the Pattison voters, whose repre-
sentatives constituted vast ma
iority of the convention and named
the ticket, know they have a
friend. To use a greatly over
worked phrase, it will not do to
put all our eggs into one basket,
1t 10 not good politics to ALLEVIATE
any class of voters; we need them
all and should use all honorable
means to gather them into the
fold. The Republican convention
was controlled by the bosses and
the Republican state central com
mittee was and ~ controlled by
the bosses, but they are shrewd
bosses and with the power abso-
lutely theirs they did not commit
the stupid blunder of making a
known boss chairman of their ex.
ecutive committee. Boss Cox was
not made chairman, nor was Boss
Brown, nor Boss Karshner. Much
as they would have liked, they did
not dare take this step. All their
high handed work, their blunders.
their official shortcomings rolled
into one would not have eqaallsd
this.

BY far the most interesting game played
on the Arsenal grounds this season was

teams yesterday afternoon. Game was
called at the end Of the eighth inning. on

was hit the harder. he had the Engineers
bunaloed and was not found consecutively

and three singles let in four runs. The
fielding behind Meister was ragged at
times. while that Of the Brookland boys
was faultless,. the work of Tansill, Julien.

Of Graves being particularly noteworthy.

FOR UNION LEAGUERS

The Washington Union I.eaguers had an
easy time disposing of the Brooklyn team
Of the same league by the score of to 2
yesterday afternoon.
The only inning in which the visitors
had a look-in was the SECOND, when
they made their only runs of the game
But at that the locals had good lead
and they were at no stage in danger Of
dropping the game.
The Washington management used up
three twirlers. but 1t was not because they
were serving the wrong sort that substi-
tutes were put In. Clements. a new man,
started the contest, but was taken out
in the second after the fans had gotten q
line on him. and Speer took up the work.

the teens, as they also used the rod with
great effect. Shaughncssy again demon
