DAY OF MEMORIES

rial Day in Kenosha
WOULD REVERE SOLDIER DEAD

con fame eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead. y
Again Memorial Day, or Decoration
Day as it used to be called, approaches.
The devoting of one day exclusively to
the decoration Of the graves of the
soldier dead began naturally in the
early days of the War Of the Rebellion.
Commemoration Of the dead springs
spontaneous from the human breast.
From the dawn Of history human
hearts have ached for their dead friends
AS martyred soldiers began to fall, SOC
rowing friends gathered at their graves
to mourn over their untimely end and
to scatter spring flowers. Out Of this
grew the movement that in 1868 pro
mulgated the first Memorial Day pro-
clamation at the hands of Gen. John A.
Logan. At first only observed in the
country districts the practice became
general and now Memorial Day is a
legal holiday in nearly every state
But the day first set apart to keep
green the memory of the soldier dead
and later set apart for the purpose of
instilling patriotism into the minds Of
the young is now devoted to merry
making. Among all classes and in
every walk of life there seems to be
the tendency to ignore the purposes of
the day. Memorial Day has now be-
come but another holiday for picnics,
base ball games, excursions and golf
tournaments. Is it not almost sacri-
Ilege to devote this day to games and
sports? TO the generation born since
the war who are now in the prime of
life, and to the hordes of immigrants
from foreign lands who have swollen
our population, the War Of the Rebel
lion is not even a tradition. While it
I1s true that we cannot do the dead any
good2 by placing wreaths Of flowers on
their graves and by recounting their
deeds Of valour, should we not preserve
our traditions and instil the lessons of
patriotism into the minds of the living
by the proper observance of this day.
Let us not forget the cause and cost of
the war. Let us on the coming Memoir
Ial Day lay aside the cares and gayeties
Of life and all go forth as on a
pious pilgrimage to the shrines of the
fallen soldier dead, and again highly
resolve that the dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth of freedom,
and that government of the people, by
the people, and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.

Ontario Observation-Disclosures. 248.02
Since last month Lake Superior has
fallen an inch, Lakes Michigan and
Huron have risen 334 inches, Lakes
Erie has risen 6A inches, and Ontario
~ inches,
During the present month Lake Su-
perior should rise inches, Michigan
Huron and Erie 8 inches, and Ontario
21a inches.
Lake Superior is inches higher than
in9April, 1892, 90 inches higher than
! in 1898, but it is an inch lower than
in 1899, 80 inches lower than last
iyear, 515 inches lower than In 1906, Z
inches lower than in 1905, and 4 inches
lower than the average April stage of
the past ten years.
Lakes Michigan and Huron are 10
inches higher than in April, 1896; 5M
inches higher than the average April
stage of the past ten years, ~ inches
higher than in 1905, and about the
same height as in 1890; but they are
| IL inches lower than last year, 2 inches
lower than in 1906, and 30 inches lower
than in April, 1886.
Lake Erie shows the highest April
stage since 1890, when it was only q
of an inch higher In April, 1887, it
was nearly s inches higher It is 6
inches higher than last year and an inch
higher than in 1904. The lake is 2315
inches above it's stage in April, 1895,
and 1l15 inches above the average
I April~stage Of the past ten years.
Lake Ontario shows the highest April
stage since 1886, when it was 5 inches
higher. It is IA inches higher. than
last year, a foot higher than in 1904,
% inches above its average April stage
| for the past ten years, and 80 inches
higher than in April 1895.
Lake Ontario will probably go on
rising until July and by that time be 4
inches higher than during April. Elk
cessive rainfall may make this rise 6
inches or foot. After July it should
recede, reaching the April stage IN
September.
The present high water in Lake
Ontario is caused, first, by ice in the
st. Lawrence River checking the out
flow from the lake; second, excessive
precipitation in the Ontario basin;
third the large flow entering by the
| Niagara River, due to the high stage of
Lake Erie; fourth, the closing Of one
OF the outlets of the lake at the Galops
Rapids, by the Gut dam. If this dam
We're not IN place, Lake Ontario would
be inches lower than its present
stage.

DECISION FOR FISHERMEN
Judge Brace of Milwaukee Holds That
Gill Nets Need Not Be Licensed

Judge Brazee Of Milwaukee, rendered
decision in favor of Conrad Schult-
heis, charged with a violation Of the
law prohibiting fishing in Lake Michi-
gan with an unlicensed gill net Schulz
heis appealed the case from district
court. The decision is expected to in
terest fishermen throughout the state as
game wardens have sought to enforce
this law IN many instances, where fish
ermen have refused to secure a license
for their nets or their boats carrying
the nets. The magistrate held that the
law applied to seine and pound nets, but
did not apply to gill nets, reference
to these nets having been omitted in
the law
For some years the state wardens
have been prosecuting under a law sup
posed to exist which made it crime
to fish with gill nets unless the same
were duly licensed or the tug boats pro
yided with them were, the owners being
compelled to pay $75 for each boat or
net.
Conrad schultheis, Jones Island
fisherman, was fined $25, and costs in
district court Jan. Is, after being ar
rested by Deputy Game Warden Fred
Gerhard, He appealed the case and
this morning Judge Brace rendered a
decision in his favor.
The ruling is Of Importance to the
fishing industries Of the state, fishermen
having fought the provision ever since
it was established.

REWARD OFFERED
VANDALS TORETURN
Visited John Robbins Home
And Tore Pieces From
American Flag.
THE OWNER is INCENSED.
DEFIEs MIscREANTs TO RETURN
AND OFFERS TO PAY THEM
FOR INDIGNITIEs THEY MAY
CREATE.

One hundred dollars in gold will be
paid to the first man securing
a piece of either of the AmerSan flags
suspended on the veranda at the John
F. Robbins home, North Tenth street.
The same amount will be paid in sill
yer, if the person accomplishing the
feat desires that form of specie. Who
ever attempts to remove or destroy
the flags will do so at his own risk
This offer on the part of a private
citizen is unprecedented in the history
of Richmond. But like the most of
such offers there is a cause. Last ev-
enlng while Mr.. Robbins was away
from home, a gang of unknown per-
sons went to his home and created a
furor. The members shouted and
cheered for Marshall, the democratic
nominee for governor. They carried
pictures of the nominee and when
their obstreperous conduct met with
no response. they became bolder. AS
the elimination of their efforts a rush
was made into the Robbins yard and
one of the large flags was torn in sew
eral places. Having vented their
spleen upon the national colors, the
miscreants fled. None was to be
found about the premises when Mr.
Robbins returned.
To insure the seriousness of his re-
mark. Mr.. Robbins authorized this
newspaper to publish the details of his
offer. 1t is believed to be the first
| time local, citizen has made an Of
fer to provoke vandalism against his
own property. Mr.. Robbins did not
make his proposition in boastful
manner. but as a citizen highly incens-
ed by the indignities heaped upon his
home. He does not know whether the
members of the gang were men or
boys, nor does he know the identity
of single member. This fact alone
probably insures their safety from

Believes Taft Will Receive a
Larger Popular Vote Than
He Did Four Years Aq0.
NO BOMB is NEEDED.
REPORT THAT CHIEF EXECUTIVE
WOULD FIRE OFF GUN ON EVE
OF ELECTION is sToUTLY DE-
MED.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 3O.-Through
Secretary Loeb the president has is
sued an emphatic denial of the report
that the campaign is to end by the fir
ing of a bomb from the White House.
This report stated that the president
could be counted upon to issue some
declaration similar to that he issued
on the eve of the election when he was
a candidate against Parker. Secre-
tary Loeb characterized it as absurd
for many reasons, but chiefly because
it indicated an action absolutely un-
necessary.
THE campaign is won now, and the
only question remaining to be answer
ed is the size of Taft's majority he
said last night.
At almost any hour of the day Sec
retary Loeb may be seen talking over
the long-distance telephone with some
leader who is sending his confidential
report to Washington. From these
the president has reached the oonclu-
sion that Judge Taft will be elected by
a larger plurality of the popular vote
than he himself received four years
ago. and that his majority in the cleo
torial college will be even greater.
With those to whom he has talked
during the last forty-eight hours the
president has expressed his belief in
an overwhelming Taft victory that
will wipe out Of existence Organism
and all that Bryanism stands for and
give every northern state to Taft, with
Missouri Kentucky and Maryland
doubtful, but probably Republican.
Here are some of the figures the
president gave one of his callers:
New York. probably 100000 for Taft
and over 100000 for Hughes.
Illinois. 100000.
Ohio. 10000.
Indiana. considered doubtful by
many Republican leader. 10000 and
upward.
Nebraska, 10000.
Wisconsin, 5000.
Kansas by an overwhelming plu-
rality.
The president is constantly receiv-
ing news from sources he considers
reliable. H. H Kohlsaat. of Chicago.
who saw him yesterday, said the latest
Illinois poll showed plurality for
Taft of $4,000
He predicted a plurality in Indiana
