BEAUTIFUL
SALEM AND SURROUNDING
COUNTRY UNITE IN DOING
HONOR TO SOLDIER DEAD
GRAVES ALL RANKED WITH
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

With the decoration of the graves
of its soldier dead with flowers until
the city's cemeteries resembled a
veritable garden Of roses; with the
conducting of the beautiful and inn
pressive services and ceremonies of
the G. A. r., over the graves of the
nations heroes, and with a program
of song and music, and an address
which breathed the same patriotism
that beat in the hearts Of the battle
Scared veterans when they left be-
hind business, and homes and loved
ones-left everything dear to the
human heart, and went to the front
to battle for their country, the peo
pie of Salem yesterday observed
Memorial day. and the verdict was
unanimous that it was the largest
attended and the best conducted cell
ebration of the day ever held in the
city.
The people from the surrounding
country began to arrive early and
joined with those of Salem In the
observance of the day During the
forenoon eonveyances OF every de-
scription. in addition to the street
care were loaded down with people
carrying flowers to be strewn on the
graves of the nations heroes, and
departed relatives and friends, and
when the noon hour arrived and the
decoration of the graves had been
completed, every grave had been re-
membered and the cemeteries were
abloom with flowers.
At the cemeteries the G.. A. r., as
sisted by the w. r. c., conducted the
services of the organization over the
dead comrades, and upon their con
clusion firing squad Of Company
M fired the salute, and one of its
buglers sounded taps
Vast Crowd at Park.
In the afternoon large parade
formed at the Methodist church and
wound it's way to Marion Square,
where an appropriate program was
held. The program consisted of
songs and music and an address by
Dr. B. L. Sleeves, and a vast crowd
assembled TO listen TO It,
Dr. Sleeves in the commencement
Of his address took occasion TO show
that the setting apart of a day for
paying tribute and homage to the
warrior dead was, not altogether an
American idea. but that It was a
practice that had been observed
from the earliest days Of all nations
and that such a day had for its
national pride and patri-
otism and love Of country. He then
dwelt upon the sacredness Of the
day and its general observance
through the nation, and from that
he proceeded to a discussion OF the
that brought about the civil
war, and the issues which were In
aud what It meant 10 the
world at large. He then took occa-
sion 70 comment upon the hardship
endured by the soldiers, who par
-ieipated IN tho war, and the glory |
hat belonged to them because OF

The address was both eloquent I
and instructive and he was given

In the Patterson organ of today DR.,
Bledsoe Brown, the Taylor-Patterson
boiling candidate for the Senate, haE a
card In which he makes feeble at
tempt to deny that he is a straddler.
He quotes the platform upon which
he was nominated and which like the
Taylor platform at Nashville Is utterly
meaningless This platform has not
one single word to say about a single
live issue and no one knows this fact
better than DR.. Brown. The boiling
candidate has-ne yet said one word
about where he stands on prohibition,
he has not intimated his position on

Or. BROWNS CARD.


lor nominee for the Senate, has Is
sued card to the voters Of this DIS
trict that is remarkable for what Il
does not saw. Tho Doctor. like Els
associates on the ticket and like Bob
Taylor the machine candidate, whom
the Pattersonites pretend TO support
in order to holster legislative nonI
nees, fails 20 say one word abont
live issues OF today. He pirates
loudly IbcuS bic Democracy as
though that word would define his
position on questions that 'vltally
Meet the people.
DR.. Brown was an ardent supporter
of Patterson In both of his races. II
is naturally assumed that he stood
for all Of the infamies Of the Patter-
son administration. By supporting
Patterson in tho recent contest he
endorsed the pardon OF Senator Car
mack's murderer, he approved the
effort of Patterson to coerce the SUI
preme Court and he also approved a
platform that denounced prohibition
as unconstitutional. confiscatory and
fundamentally wrong. The cOuven-
ton which gave DR.. Brown his nonli-
nation, like the State convention ct
Nashville, was not frank enough and
fair enough with .sc rcc>>.c . r:aEc
a platform.
1t is plain that the Patterson-Tay-
lor nominees in this county and dis
trict are basing their hopes OF cleo
ton upon the success OF their efforts
to dodge all live issues. Candidates
who measure up to the high standard
of first class legislative material
would scorn to accept an Office ii to
secure it they had to dodge and !
squirm and deceive the people as to
their position upon any live Issue.
1t is also evident that DR.. Brown is |
trying to live down his Patterson rec !
ord, for while he mentions the only
Democratic president since the war .
he has not one word to say in his !
card of the Democratic" Governor /
whose praises he has sung with such
fervor for several years.
The truth about the matter is that
the Patterson nominees in this ccun-
ty and district realize that Patter-
sonism is odious to the good people
Of Maury county. They know that the
Patterson followers alone cannot
elect them to any Office, hence If they
win they must secure a portion OF the
anti-machine vote. And to get this
vote they must dodge all questions
which require an expression of opin-
on. The Herald mistakes the temp
er of the people of Maury county IL
hey shall elect to the great law max
ng body Of the State those who are
lot frank enough to tell where they
stand upon matters that strike right
It tile roots of government.
II is true that DR.. Brown says that
le IS for law and order. His recent
lrdent support of the party of law |
essness, of anarchy OF coercion end ,
proves thar II he is sin .
ere he is very recent convert to I
he cause OF law and order. When !

The RESULT TUESDAY.

II there had Deen any reason Il
doubt the election of Hooper and En-
Toe next Tuesday that doubt was en-
tirely dispelled by the prediction
statement of Ma. -Chairman Vertrees
of the machine committee. The mai
or practically tells the people Of Ten
nessec that Il the Democrats viii all
yote for Taylor and have their votes
counted BOB will surely be the next
Governor of the State. Again. In the
| FITNESS of his wisdom he discloses
that after having counted the voters
Of the State, be finds that just cxF ct.
| ly 10,400 Democrats will vote for
Hooper. Now it was not 10000 or
10, 500. No round numbers in 1t
witch demonstrates conclusively that
the majority cid not do any guessing.
He counted them. He knows tina. he
has the figures and that figures wont
lie but all the same there's no law
agin liar a figuring
Having counted tire Democrats who
will vote for Hooper it is an easy
matter to ascertain the result. Twen-
ty thousand is the normal Democra-
tic majority in Tennessee. Ten thou
sand taken from the Democratic vote
and added to the Republican vote
would make the result q stand off.
1t is natural to assume that the
major-chairman would have stopped
at this bad his conscience and his
figures permitted. But having made
an accurate count of the independent
Democrats Who will vote for Hoofer
the major-chairman felt duty bound
to give the exact result. Hence we
have a surplus q, residue, an over
plus Of 400 vnteG that must be taken
from the Democratic vote and added
to the Republican vote, and all on top
of that 10000 which We have JUSTIFY
the same process, substracted and
added. This makes change CT 500.
And by the same reasoning 1t elects
Hooper by this identical 500 major
ity. That Is the reason why the
major chairman Of the liquor rarity
gave expression to this sage Dredic-
ton which makes him veritable
"If Bob gets the votes Of
the Democrats and they are counted
he will be the next Governor OF Ten
nessee."
Every one will agree that IN this
rhe major is right and
We also agree that the major is a
wonderfully we'll versed man. There's
wisdom and sense and prophecy with

,r's statement that II the Democl ats

Officer of State Historical Society.

w. H. Gilstrap, secretary of the
State Historical society and secretary
and curator of a museum, was in the
city yesterday and left this morning
for Okanogan. The State Historical
society is partially supported from
appropriations made by the state leg
islature and which has for it's object
the perpetuation of historical incl
dents of state interest and also for
the marking of historical localities.
The trip to the Okanogan is to be
made for the purpose of formally es-
tablishing and marking Fort Okano-
gan which was established in 1911.
Mr.. Giistrap expects to attend the
coming meeting this coming June OF
the Chelan County Old Settlers asso-
citation and while here will investi-
gate and possibly mark places that
have historical connection.
