Masses of Flowers
VETERANS OF TWO WARS MARCH IN PARADE
Judge Lowell in Principal Address, EuIOgizes Those
Who Gave Their Lives For Causes They
Thought lust

Pendleton is doing honor to her
dead today. Memories of loved ones
who lie beneath the sodden pillows
at Olney cemetery are being revived
and in silent tribute to them, friends
and relatives have bedecked their
graves with flowers and have bowed
their heads in reverence over the
mounds of earth.
At 9 o'clock this morning with the
flags floating at half mast from many
buildings, and with all business sus-
pended, the Memorial Day parade,
headed by the Roundup Cowboy band
marched through the streets. In line
were members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, fewer by several than
last year, members of the United
Spanish War Veterans, members of
lodges and citizens in automobiles
and other vehicles Ending at Alta
street, the participants were loaded
into conveyances and transported to
the cemetery where following the
decoration of the graves, Judge Ste
phen A. Lowell delivered eloquent
address to the large gathering.
Judge stephen A. Lowell in his adj
dress at the cemetery said in sub
stance:

mortal occasion, not as a decoration
service 1t is proper to recognize the
time with the flowers of the spring,
as typifying the transitory character
of life. and the certainty of decay
and death, and an offering in their
beauty to the memory OF the loved.
This is. however, memorial of SER
vice and sacrifice, tribute to the
heroic devotion of the nations army
of the dead.

of the armies of the civil war, and
in the later days of the Indian wars
and the Spanish war. War will con-

God in his allwise purpose shall
have made all men free, free to labor
and free to enjoy just rewards of la
Dor. We have no civilization yet in
its best sense, nor shall we have while
one man lives in splendid luxury and
another dies in terrible poverty, while
the lowly bow at the seat of power.
while right is PROSTATE and wrong
triumphant. We shall have another
war. There is no permanent peace
in sight That war will settle
finally whether this government is
to be a government of the people, by
the people, and for. the people, or a
government by the corporations, for
the corporations and of the corpora
tions.
The Spanish war gave us position
among the nations of earth, and gave
us added responsibility. We are
reaching over into Asia where the race
was born, and the American flag,
every stripe a sacrifice and every
star a hope, will ultimately mark
the standard of the races of earth, if
America does her duty. The nations
army of immortals, today grouped
around the sainted Lincoln, look down
upon us and see an ultimate republic
with Cuba and Mexico ours, In the in
terests of ultimate civilization. 1t
would have been better for the Gu
bans had we retained it in 1898.
This day ought TO be a spring of
inspiration and patriotism to the
youth of America, that they may be
ready when the time comes to re-
spond to the call of heroic sacrifice,
devotion and heroism. 1t is the duty
of parents and teachers to see to it
that the boys and girls neglect not its
ceremonies. Out of several hundred
school children in Pendleton, not half
a hundred are here this morning. II
that is the situation over the nation,

HEAVY DOWNPOUR.

\ rain at this time of the year is the most beneficial thing that has occurred in the interests of the farmers of the valley in long time The precipitation started shortly af ter midnight Saturday night, and was almost continuous until about three clock yesterday afternoon when the sun came out for a short while. A large share of the spring crops are now planted on the south side, con ssting chiefly of grain and sugar beets. Consequently more oppOr tune time for the rain to visit this section of the valley could have hard ly presented itself And then again teh newly graded roads leading out of Tempe should come inf or con- sideration. The dust has been rather bad for the past month or so since the completion of the repair work on the highways, but there will be no more of it. True, it has made the weather a bit colder but little else could be expected at this time ut year. Indications last evening were that the weather you'd turn off clear and cold.
