MEMORIAL DAY.
Memorial Day!

lCulOIld Il
What a train of illustrious dead this holiday presents!
Stern, iron-faced old Puritans, clad in steel armor, and car
rying Bible and matchbox and axe in their war against the
savage wilderness; motley, ragged Continentals, fighting the
invincibfe redcoats of England, while the world narveled as
the tatered iegions won a mighty victory; fisheTmen-saiiors
in homespun, manning a few iI[equipped ships, striking ter
ror to the heart of the greatest maritime nation of history;
other such sailors freeing the high seas forever of the pirates
from the Barbary coast; the war for the Union and for hui
man freedom, when two million men marched beneath two
American flags, reddening the rivers of a continent with their
blood; the gaunt, daring pioneers who won the West from
its countless ages of savagery; and then, the last war to set
free a tortured neighbor from an intolerable tyrant. Oh, the
history of this nation is the history of brave men!
And the fondest, farest women of all time, whether garb-
ed in puritanic severity or in modern fashion, whether in cot
tage or farm house or mansion---the mothers and s~weethearts
worthy a warrior race, the home-makers and the inspiration
OF a nation!
They have left a goodly heritage; countless bright names,
which, like the starry deep, illumine the national path. tits
a privilege--as well as a heavy responsibility--to accept their
legacy of loyalty, and to measure up to their heroic measure.
Much shall be required of him to whom much is given--and
Memorial Day, sacred to the ilustrious dead, is the day Of
accounting for our stewardship Shall we prove worthy!
Side by side with the soldier on the tented field, the sailor
on the rolling deep, the statesman in the council chamber, the
wife and mother and sweetheart in the home, has been One
whose counsel is always true, whose armies never lose. Man
unaided never built this nation: unaided, he can not maintain
it. The day, with its review of the glorious past, is incom-
plete and a boastful mockery without a tribute to the higher
power that has guided our destiny. 1t should be above des-
ecration by unseemly thought and deed.

Chinese Poetry.


The Chinese are not generally re,
garded as a poetical people, yet, as a
matter of fact, no nation on earth
has ever been so ~passionately devoted
to prosody, or brought it SO intimately
into their daily life. 1t is, indeed,
one of the most important branches
of the native educational system, and
all examinations for governmental
positions from the most humble office
of tax collector up, include the writing
Of original poems. The Chinese Ian
suage is particularly rich in metaphor,
md a Chinaman of the better class al
ways turns into verse an accoun of
any occurrence of special interest to
himself or his family. 1t is not unus-
ual for proclamations to be issued in
Aidaetic verse. A peculiar and inter.
esting coincidence has been noted by
one student of Chinese poetry. Ii is
a poem written about the year 200 B.
C., by Kia vi, a minister of state, who
had been sent into Punishment, and
which is astonishingly similar in me-
ter, wording and thought to Poe's
Raven"

A STATE LAND COMMISSION.

The coming legislature might do a good work for Idaho in
establishing some form Of commission to handle the various
public lands of the state.
Since the constitution %prescribes how the state lands shall
be administered, no new appointive body, however rational
or competent, could have final authority over these lands; a
constitutional amendment would be necessary to transfer this
control and give the commission adequate power. But the
legislature might establish an Investigating, advisory commits
sion, to be made permanent as soon as a constitutional amend
ment could be voted. Here are some reasons for it:
The state now has about 500, 900, 600 worth of Carey Act
projects built or building. The towns and farms built up by
these projects are worth far more. How are these handled!
BY a board headed by the governor, whose total salaries are
S15, 600 a year; aided by a state engineer at $500 a year.
Their total salaries are hardly more than single individuals

Why hey Leave Home.

All the counting is done by the
ladies' of Ukraine, Russia. When a girl
falls in love with a man she goes to
his house and tells him the state Of
her feelings. If her affections are re-
c%iprocated a marriage is arranged. If,
however, Barkis is not willin', she re
mains in the house, hoping to coax
him into regarding her suit with ia
vor. The poor fellow cannot treat her
with %discourtesy or turn her out, fol
her friends would be sure to avenge
the insult. If he is really determined
that he won't have her, his best plan
is to leave his home and stay away
as long as she remains in it. Thus a
man may be turned out of house and
home.-Chicago Journal.

FRENCH FOR CONGRESS.

Some surprise was occasioned by the recent announcement
of Burton /. French that he will be a candidate to succeed
Thomas r.. Haner as congressman from Idaho. He says he
will not begin the campaign until Mr.. Hamer returns home
for the summer vacation, as he wishes to fight fair and take
no undue advantage of his opponent.
Mr.. French represented Idaho for three terms, leading his
party ticket in every election. He had enough votes pledg-
ed in the fourth convention to nominate him by a consider
able majority; but a sudden convention upheaval droppedhim
behind. He has always been a prime favorite with the peo-
pie of idaho: and his entrance into the lists will be the signal
for a spectacular race. Nj. French, while in the past a safe
party man, is a strong anti Cannon advocate, and that his
course will prove popular in Idaho is a safe guess.
