For the NAVY,

The members of the Ladies' Veteran
Navy Association, of Salem. Mass, have
held Memorial Day services in memory
of the Salem dead for a great many
years The service is thought to be
very impressive, and is always held by
the water. 1t was particularly pretty
this year.
They set afloat a flroal ship, an
anchor and many other wonderfully
beautiful emblems, all constructed of
flowers. This they did in memory of
those who went down in the sea in
ships. They also hold services at the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument at Har-
mony Grove Cemetery, and the Asso-
citation always contributes all of the
Jacks" that are used on the graves.
At the monument in Salem about 20
dozen of these Jacks" will be used in
the Memorial exercises. They are as
sisted by the children, who cast flowers
on the waves to teach them the lesson of
patriotism, OF remembering those vino
have helped to save the Nation. They
have recitations and singing and the
little children are attired in sailor suits.
These ladies have made their exer-
cises on Memorial Day a particular fea-
lure, and were among the first to con-
duct these naval memorial exercises in
Salem. At the end of their exercises
they entertain the veterans at their
hall
The Commander of the Naval Vet
Grams is Austin P. Quinby and the Sec
retary is Mary A Gilman. The Pay

ROOSEVELT And
THE INSURGENTS.
Claims From Both SideS-Roose-
yeit's Home Coming Reception
Will Not Be Attended by the
President.

Insurgents of the Capitol are jubilant
with expectations that eX-Presdent
Roosevelt is to champion their faction
al cause soon after his return to this
country Their exaltation is based up
on two things-the acceptance by the
ox-President of an invitation to be the
guest of honor at a dinner to be given
by Robert Collier and the receipt of a
letter by Representative Hamilton Fish,
of New York, asking him to consult
with the ex-President.
Much IS being made of these two
matters at the present juncture. altho
old friends of Mr.. Roosevelt, like Sena-
tor Lodge, whom no one accuses of be-
ing an insurgent, refuse to attach par
ticular importance to them. Shortly
before he left for Africa Mr. Roosevelt
was given a similar dinner in New
York.
It appears that the ex-Presidents let
ter TO Representative Fish was written
IN answer TO one he sent the ex-Presi-
dent. Those who have seen the letter
say Mr.. Roosevelt uses these words:
You know my views on this insurgeni
situation. They have not changed since
j last talked with you. and wish to see
YOU in New York Immediately after my
arrival"
Representative Fish, who has become
a pronounced insurgent on the rules
sress, is unwilling 10 discuss the letter
altho he apparently has welcomed the
dissemination of news that he has such

participate in the welcome to his prede-
cessor in office. The day that Mr..
Roosevelt lands in New York President
Taft will be attending commencement
exercises of Nillanova College in Penn
sylvania. 1t was quite year ago that
President Taft agreed to attend those
commencement exercises. Accordingly
he has a good excuse for not hurrying
away to the pier where the throngs
icongregate to welcome the mighty
hunter back.
1t is not at all generally known that
President Taft fixed the date when he
!should go to Villanova, and that he took
the date when Ire had been urged to go
to New York OF course. it is recognized
that President Taft in the minds of
many thinking people, could not well
go to New York to participate in the
welcome home of his predecessor. Such
an act would be criticized widely, and
would be given political significance pro
and con. Whatever Mr. Tafts own in
clinations might be about welcoming
eX-President Roosevelt, he cannot dis
associate himself from the Presidency.
The dignity of that office makes it al
most imperative that no President
should hasten to any city to greet an
ex-President. All officials and ex-offi-
cials come to the President of the Unit
ed States. He does not go to them.
President Taft's friends are aware
that it will be just as well for him if
eX-PreSident Roosevelt makes the first
advances. 1t is expected that the eX-
President will come to Washington to
make report to the State Department
on his mission as Special ambassador
to attend the funeral of King Edward.
That would be the courteous thing for
him to do, and in all probability Mr.
Roosevelt will not omit that visit.
Then there is another aspect of the
situation. One hears predictions that
the much-heralded arrival of the eX-
President may not be attended by the
great and tumultuous demonstration
expected. Some think the welcome
home promises to be a fiZZle, and that
the enthusiasm for the eX-PreSident is
oozing out That. of course, is to be
demonstrated; but in any event the
President can we'll stand aloof and see
how cordially the people are for his
predecessor. Again, if the eX-President
| is to give aid and comfort to the insur-
gent faction, President Taft will be in
a better position before the country if
he stands on his dignity and let's mat
ters develop. He naturally does not
want to be put in the position of pub
licly seeking the eX-President's favor or
of allowing the eX-President to have the
opportunity to rebuff him. 1t goes with
out saying that President Taft will not.

A Pressing Case.

S. J. Hunter. Beloit, Wis, says that
in 1854 a recruiting agent obtained
number of men at Albany Wis.
Among them was one Dick Thomas,
who had enlisted in Boston and was
kept there on garrison duty. He saved
up and placed in bank $500. In sep
tember, 1865, after being discharged,
he sent to the bank and drew 800. but
died in the County poorhouse in the
spring Of 1865. Shortly afterward a
fire destroyed the poorhouse and all
of Thomas papers. Among these
documents were his discharge and his
certificate OF deposit. His widow still
lives and makes her home in Beloit.
She is now 81 years old and poor Her
name is Julia Thomas Burton, and she
lives at 1894 Broad Street, Beloit. II
anyone can give any information in
regard to this they will confer great
benefit upon a deserving woman.
