East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-06-25

In very striking contrast to the
usual order of events, the Pendleton
small boy was up with the lark this
morning and it was not necessary to
be threatened and cajoled by a par
ent to call him forth, either. The
reason for the desire to vie with the
proverbial song bird was the arrival
of the circus trains, for, be it known,
this is circus day.
For days, weeks, yea, months, the
billboards, barns, sheds, and even the
sides and fronts of the business build
ings, have been decorated with gaily
colored posters and studied with de-
light by the small boy, who would be
just as interested and just as en-
thusiastic if the big show came every
month instead Of once year. And
now the big day has arrived.
The Sells-Floto circus trains ar
rived early, however, and so smooth
ly and systematically were the long
strings of cars unloaded that only
the earliest of the early boys were in
time to see the animals taken from
the cars and marched to the show
grounds in the west end of the city.
Those who came late hurried down
to the grounds, where they have been
interested spectators or active par
ticipants, for, profiting by the exam
pie of TON Sawyer" and his "sore
toe" the circus management has

Memorial
Day

IN w AL En- bIAohANA
~ once pointed out the SUI
m perior significance, inter-
est and character of our
i u national holidays. An
Englishwoman last year
discovered the beauty of our Memorial
day. She was guest in an old New
England town, and missed nothing,
either of preparation or observance.
She helped gather flowers for the
children, who came begging them all
day, and listened to their condolences:
my grandfather. he was soldier.
There's flowers and a flag on his
grave, anyway. but we bring flowers,
too" This basketful's going to the
ladies of the post; they're making up
bouquets at the hall" Nom. these
amt for the soldiers; they're for our
baby. I've got enough to most cover
the mound, it's so little" my, them
laylocks'll look fine on teachers desk!
Yes'm, we decorate for the exercises,
and take 'em up to the cemetery aft
erward."
On Memorial day she attended the
faces turned attentively toward the
fine old man in faded uniform, who
spoke well and simply of the duties
of a citizen in war and peace; heard
the children sing; saw them salute
the flag.
Then came the procession-the old
soldiers, most in carriages, a sturdy
few on foot; the town officials; the
militiamen; the boys brigade; the
fire company. With the crowd she
followed to the ancient burying-
ground.
She saw blossoms and little waving
| flags placed where lay men who had
served in the Spanish war, the civil
war, the Mexican war, the revolution,
and under a quaint stone, lichened and
aslant. a soldier of King Philips war;
not one forgotten, not one neglected.
She observed how everywhere, In
every burial-plot. there were more
flowers; how, naturally and simply,
the day was coming to be one of re-
membrance, not of soldiers, only, but
of all the honored and beloved dead;
| how friends, meeting dnons the ira
grant paths, talked quietly of those
gone. or of the great historic days;
or noted with appreciation the grace
of memorial garlands or the beauty OF
clustered flowers.
1t happened that she was a woman
who had seen parades and pageants
and state solemnities in many lands.
She had kept very silent, and her
friend. fearing that, to her too-expe.
rienced eye, the dignity of the occa-
sion might have been impaired by oc'
casional crudities and rusticities, and
a decoration here and there in OBJ
trusive i'll taste, expressed her
doubts.
No" said the Englishwoman
where all take part, there must be
flaws like that. They are nothing

Grow Too Old for Parades.

AS a day celebrated only by vet.
Grams of the union army, Memorial
day is rapidly slipping into the past.
lrhe veterans are growing too old for
the parades which, until within few
years. were its most conspicuous fea-
ture. In the south, where Decoration
day was formerly observed on diff.
ferent dates in different states, the
custom has grown of celebrating May
80. which until recently was an excln.
sive anniversary of the Grand Army
OF the Republic.

lest war OF modern times and the
greatest war of all time in the cause
for which IL was fought. In the be-
ginning the south, honestly and sim
cerely believing that 1t had a right
to withdraw from the union. proposed
to exercise this right peacefully II 1t
could, forcibly If it must. Its COM
plant was that the north would not
in good faith keep the national laws
made to protect the domestic insti-
tuition of the southern states-slavery
and was continually encroaching on
II with new laws, and the south wished
separate government in which such
laws would be supreme. The north
insisted that the union was indissol-
uble; that once having entered it,
states could not withdraw. AS a
question of law, this could never be
settled.
IL is pitiful to see how our fathers
| for years argued and demonstrated
and dubbed over an Interpretation
while in the background doomed the
real question, dimly discerned, never
wholly confessed, and ignored. as
much as possible; while as IL to drown
consciousness the talk about Inter
probation of the constitution" grew
| ever louder, until the south struck. II
ordained the dissolution of this union
and fred on its flag. Then rose the
curtain on the red drama that cost
million lives before the curtain fell.
Confused in the beginning, the
theme gradually unfolded, the back
ground became clear and the pro-
tagonists were disclosed in deadly
strife, not over a petty text, but over
the question of human freedom versus
human slavery. The fathers had eat.
en- the sour grapes and the children's
teeth were set on edge. There could
be no compromise. AS long as this
country was to be the heritage of those
that made it, the one idea or the other
must prevail. Freedom won-in a

fiected light, seen clearer this day

This is the personal possession of
the union soldier-that he fought for
the cause of human freedom. And
Memorial day has this wider and
unique significance that it is not
merely in memory of brave men who
gave the last full measure of devo-
ton" for a cause they believed was
right, but that that cause was human
freedoml 1t abides. We that come
after them have like battle to fight,
and the same old foe with a new
face. All slaves are not black. All
slavery has not the outward and Wis
ible signs of dungeon and the lash.

The Change
of Years

HE sentiment which sur
Y rounded Memorial day
with feelings of sacred
character, when IL was
inaugurated III years
ago, has in a measure
passed away with the lapse of time.
Then the majority OF the people of
the United States had the graves of
fathers, sons or brothers who had
given their lives to the union to mark
for honor and tender recollection.
The memories of the great struggle
for the union and freedom were en-.
HANGED by personal memories of the
dead.
The lapse of years has wrought an
inevitable change. Even to the older
part of the community who retain
the memory of the civil war and its
heroes the freshness of the recollec.
ton Is lessened by the passage of
time. The greater part of the COM
munity is a new generation, whose
knowledge OF the events originally
designed to be commemorated is OBJ
tanned by reading or at second hand,
without the force of personal memory.
Naturally, therefore. the progress OF
time has made Memorial day an an
niversary of honor for the principle
OF patriotism and of the memories OF
the dead, more than revival of the
personal feelings that hallowed the
first two decades of the observance

How to Judge Tobacco.

From the bohemian
On no point is the average smoker so
Ill informed as that of judging a cigar.
Nine times out OF ten. upon being handed
a cigar. he will hold 1t to his nose, uh-
lighted, sniff at the wrapper with criti-
cal air and deliver his verdict in self
satisfied manner This characteristic ma
neuver is always a source of amusement
to anv tobacco man who happens to OBJ
serve it, There is only one way to as
certain the quality of cigar, and that is
to smoke it, No expert will pass Judg-
ment on a cigar until he has lighted 1t
and smoked it we'll down toward the
middle. The first and most important
point upon which he bases his opinion is
the burn" Tobacco may have every
other virtue. but il 1t does not hold the
fire and burn evenly it Is poor tobacco.
Next in order of Importance comes the
aromatic smoke must have pleasing
smell; next comes the flavor-the smoke
must be smooth and not 'scratchy or
bitter. Then there is the color-rich
brown, indicating a ripe leaf. well cured;
and lastly, workmanship-good If the
wrapper is put on smoothly and the
bunch is made so that the cigar
