AS the parade was started UNI
der the command of Commander
Welker, theTonawama Band filed
the air with martial music, while
passing down main street and as
the line of march got under way
IL presented a picturesque effect
and impressed many with the
appropriate manner in which the
loyal citizens of Burns demon
strated their reverence for the
defenders of the flag, both living
and dead. Burns has never be-
fore been so enthused with the
spirit of devotion to this sacred
cause, and the spectacular sight
of all combined, made everyone
feel that the cause for which so
many fell, and the country in
which we dwell. is still dear to
our hearts, and cherished by
young and old alike. The scene
was beautiful and impressive in
extreme, and as each year passes.
let us hope it will be bigger and
better as it should.
When the cemetery was reach
ed, the drums were mufiled and
the parade slowed down to the
step of customary regulation,
! and passed into the grounds,
where the graves We're surround
ed by citizens and little girls,
who proceeded to distinguish the
graves of the fallen heroes and
beloved ones.
The ceremonies here were
opened by Capt. A. w. Gowan,
followed by a prayer by Com
mander Welker. Next Capt.
A. w. Gowan, delivered a very
impressive tribute to the dead
and his remarks were both in
spring and instructive of the
the sacred occasion and loyalty
to our country. Commander
Welker next delivered a patriotic
reading TO the war veterans and
those present, and was in turn
followed by Rev. DIR. Babbidge
who lead in prayer for the fallen
dead and the preservation OF
peace and our country's union.
The firing squad then saluted the
dead with the customary three
volleys, which was followed by
the National Hymn played by
the Tonawama Band and closed
with Taps" for the dead by
Comrade Struck. the veteran
trumpeter.
The day in all, was most be-
fittingly observed and more so
than has been the custom. 1t is
both right and loyal for all to
observe this occasion in the most
sacred manner. and let US hope
that the example thus set before
us will be kept in mind and in
years to come held in observance
with the day especially set aside
for commemorating the dead. that
we as a Nation might live and
enjoy the blessings of freedom
and peace in the land of prosper
ity and happiness.

What Congress should investigate in this

over which Congress has control. That is an

WEATHER FACTS.
Of fences

The Associated Charities make another ap
peal for aid for the citizens OF Richmond IN
what has been an unprecedeht struggle
against the elements.
Possibly every citizen has been engaged in
the frutless task of GUESSING the weather" 1t
has been cussed Having in mind those per
sons of ripening judgement and sensitive souls
who are supposed to read newspapers. We our
selves forbear from expressing an opinion on
such subject. which shall DE remotely de-
scriptive The point Is that where weather
adds picturesqueness to language in one IN
stance, It means life or death in another.
The charitable organizations OF the city are
facing the facts At ties weather they have had
TO face them consistently. and in and out, for
over three months The case Is now than
when II started because inconvenience and
suffering bring the power of endurance. Hav-
ing become accustomed TO snow, to low tenn
peratures. wrap up our own shiver and
assume that others can do likewise.
The trouble is thai 80 many others have
neither the fuel to burn in their freplaces nor
in their own bodies Cold demands heat. Heat
means food consumption and fuel consu r.
ton These things mean money. even where
there is money.
To supply the money is the duty of that
larger portion OF Richmond to which the state
of the weather means nothing more than
more or less disagreeable day. The Associated
Charities is the means which is at hand to
negative conditions which would otherwise
spell tragedy among the poor. Every man IN
Richmond who has a fire should build one.

lingo MYSTERIES.

Monroe doctrinitis again threatens to become
acute Following the announcement that
France Is preparing to send warship to
Mexico the lingo element in Washington is
standing on its hind legs in high hopes OF
trouble. The end OF the Monroe doctrine" is
in right. We must speedily do one OF two
things: subdue Mexico or fight anybody or any
thing that attempts to do 80 In our default
There Is for some reason more misapprehen-
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1912-03-07

sion as to what the Monroe doctrine means
than as to any other governmental policy. II
II meant what the extremists would have us
believe that the United States stands sponsor
to save the rest of North America harmless
against the consequences OF its acts of whatever
character. the threatened war with nearly all
of the great powers would long since have
taken place Confident as all good Americans
must be that this country can whip the world
common sense nevertheless forces the con-
clusion that there are other powers which still
retain their self respect The duty of France
and Germany to protect their citizens abroad
in life and property is quite cardinal a
principle as protection of Americans by the
United States. Should this country go far
as to set us a rule which would undertake to
deny that right of protection. It would invite
all the trouble that is yet lying around loose.
Instead of doing this the Monroe doctrine as
q practical force simply guarantees the terri
torial integrity OF American countries. II af-
fords protection against enforced collection
Of debts or punishment for wrongs done the
citizens of foreign nations. So long as az
ment an excuse for annexation the United
States must be silent. That this country has
been placed in a position of guardian and
adviser of Mexico and other nations to the
South is nothing more than courteous re-
cogntion of our interest nearest geographi-
cal neighbor.
One French warship in Mexican waters does
not mean. either that France has hopes OF
conquest in Mexico, that the United States
must fight about the Monroe doctrine. The
/ same thing has -beeH done by both Germany
and England in the case of Venezuela aud other
countries which fall within the which
the Monroe doctrine is supposed to cover. Sttn
less does it mean that TO avoid useless war
with a foreign power, the United States must
itself engage in the assimilation Of Mexico
