THE ARMY CANTTEN.

right to ouench their thirst without

another year at least. the trans pacific

When the Women's Christian Temp
erance union secured the abolition of
the army canteen. the ladies surprised
some of their opponents. Staid, dgni-
fled army officers assured congress that
a mistake had been made and the new
est recruit swore mighty oaths against
"old maid meddlers." The army. how
ever, was confident that it could mus
ter sufficient influence to have con-
gress restore the canteen, and the
country was Immediately flooded with
interviews in which the canteen was
procla imed as the cure-all for the ills
which afflict the troops. Desertions.

tirely to the loss Of the canteen. the
public being led to believe that SOL
Tiers entered the army for no other
reason than to be in close proximity to

foot when they found that the repOr-
tore OF the post canteen contained
nothing more exciting than soda-pop
and pepsin chewing gum.
Nevertheless. once in a while you will
find an enlisted man who denies that
soldiers will eat hay if there is whiskey
on it. and who viii tell YOU confiden-
italy that the reason the army wants
tie cantecn restored is to cradle the
mess sergeant to utilize the profits of
the canteen for better repenishment
of the company table; all of which
suggests the possibility that the en-
listed men Of the army may be human

Der. MIR. Stone, who was anxious to

moved to suspend the execution Of the

Mr.. LaFoliette threatened that if such

Shortly after 2 o'clock Mr.. Culber-

Aldrich insisted that if Mr.. Culberson

he instructed the children to tell thel"
friends that on May day the graves OF
Union soldiers around Charleston
would be decked with flowers.
Greater even than Mr. Redpatn
had hoped was the response. More
than 10000 persons, it is stated, gath
cred at the federal cemetery, and the
graves were literally covered with
spring flowers.
Still another statement of the origin
of the custom has it that the burial
of a young soldier in New York state
suggested the idea. 1t was on beautiful
May day when the sorrowing relatives
and friends gathered about the open
grave beneath the poisoning boughs of
fruit tree.
When the solemn committal rites
were over and the last shovelful Of
earth had been cast on the mound, the

THAT FILIBUSTER.

Some sleepy eyes greeted the rising
sun in Washington this morning. and
the opening chapters of another his

world where the right of unlimited de
bate is still preserved to its members

some staid, old, conservative members
Of the upper house who this morning
wished that precedent could be con-
signed to the other place and that

some precedents himself by daring to

adopting tiilibustering tactics to pre-
vent its passage. 1t appears, however,
that some Of them are now willing to

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Although there are many versions of
the origin of Memorial day. historians
agree that today's observance marks
the fortieth anniversary of its accept

General John \. Logan, commander
in-chief Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. instituted general Memorial
day observance in 1858 Credit for the
idea has been assigned to a num-
Der of persons since the custom has
become so firmly fixed in the national
life.
1t is said that during the spring of
1865 AdjUtant General Chapman. Of the
Grand Army of the Republic. received

ton that he made out the draft of an
order on the subject and presented it
TO General Logan. then commander
in-chief Of the Grand Army. The re-
suit was General Logan's famous Me-
mortal day.
Credit for the suggestion has also
ben given James Redpath. a newspaper
man of Kansas. Boston and New York
soon after the close of the war Red
path was appointed by Generals Hatch
and SaXton as superintendent of the
schools of Charleston. S. c.. devoting
himself especially to organizing a sys-

While engaged in this work it is re-
'ate7 Mr. Redpath began to talk with
the little negro children about decorat-
ing TIE graves of their friends and de-
Tenders who fell in the gigantic conflict
that resulted in their freedom.
One April day he was advancing this
idea in little church that was
crowded with negro children. One Of
the colored girls suggested that they
go Immediately. gather armfuls of
flowers and place them on the graves.
This set Mr.. Redpatn to thinking
of what might be accomplished by a
general move Of such sort. In the end
