The operations of the bonding. r.

cent years. explained Commissioner
Rittenhouse. They have grown
faster than the methods of inspection.
In consequence the standards are
loose and fuctuating.
There are SO many kinds OF llabil-
tiles and assets that the standard OF
sufveucy- varies according 20 the views
OF the examiner or the officers OF the
company. By this loose method, con-
Germs are permitted to do business

Hearst News Service

Washington, May 29.-Although
there are many versions of the origin
@, Memorial Day, historians of the
national capital agree that today's
observance marks the fortieth ami
versary of its acceptance by the Grand
Army of the Republic.
General John A. Logan, commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re.
public, instituted general Memorial
day observance in 1868. 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
1868 Adjutant General Chapman, of the
Grand Army of the Republic, received
letter from former federal soldier,
then residing in Cincinnati. The writ
er stated that in Germany, his native
country, it was the custom of the peo-
pie to gather each spring and strew
the graves of their dead with flowers.
General Chapman, this report has it,
was so much pleased with the sugges-
ton that he made out the draft of a..
order upon the subject and presented
it to General Logan, then commander.
in-chief of the Grand Army. The re
suit was General Logan's famous
Memorial Day.
Credit for the suggestion has also
been given James Redpath, news
paper man of Kansas, Boston and
New York. Soon after the close of the
war Redpath was appointed by Gen
erals Hatch and Saxton as superin
tendent of the schools of Charleston
S. c., devoting himself especially to
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-05-30
ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

organizing a system of education for
colored youth.
While engaged in this work, it is re.
lated, Mr.. Redpath began to talk with
the little negro children about decor
ating the graves OF their friends and
defenders who fell in the gigantic
conflict that resulted in their freedom.
One April day he was advancing
this idea in a 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.. Redpath to thinking OF
what might be accomplished by a
general move of such sort In the
end he instructed the children to tell
their friends that on May day the
graves of union soldiers around
Charleston would be decked with
flowers.
Greater even than Mr. Redpath had
hoped was the response. More than
10000 persons, it is stated gathered
at the federal cemetery, and the
graves were literally covered will
spring flowers.
Still another statement of the origin
o. the custom has it that the buria
OF young soldier in New York State
suggested the idea. 1t was on :
beautiful May day when the sorrow
ing relatives ami friends gathered
about the open grave beneath the
blossoming boughs of fruit tree.
When the solemn committal rite,
were over and the last shovelful O
earth had been cast on the mound
the wind swept with strong breath

through the overhanging boughs, and
veritable snowfall of sweet, white
blossoms descended upon the young
hero's resting place.
Tradition has 1t that when, years
later, this story was repeated to Gen.
eral Logan the idea of an official
decoration day took shape in his
mind.
The late General Joseph Wheeler
always insisted that General Logan's
attention was attracted to such me-
mortal tribute by custom that had
already been followed several years
by the women of the south,

At o'clock Sunday morning the re-

officer making the change carefully
examined the unbroken seal, and the
men relieved from duty lay down to
sleep, while those who took their
places, began pacing their monotonous
rounds. Strange experiences fell to
the lot of the Roman soldiers in their
world wide dominion. These men had
doubtless guarded many a prisoner,
but never before had guarded one who
was dead and buried, and whose grave

days and nights of watching.
