THURSDAY. MAY 30. 1919
SOLDIERS DAY TODAY.

This is the day the nation pays tribute to the memory of it's soldier dead, and gives to the living veterans assurance of its grateful and affectionate remem- brance and regard.
 They are going fast, those heroes of '61 and '62.
 The mortality record among the vet erans of the Civil War is becoming more impressive with each recurring Memorial Day-a phrase that has be- come familiar through annual repetition, but which impresses it's significance more and more as the years 20 by and the ranks grow smaller and the veterans feebler.
 It is vain apprehension, that with the passing of the last surviving veteran the beautiful custom of annually strew- ing flowers on the soldiers graves will cease. or interest in the custom will be- gin to wane. There is no ground for such fear so long as there is such a thing as gratitude and an enduring sense of patriotic pride in the republic and it's institutions and possibilities, all of which were made possible by the sac rinces and struggles and sufferings of the men whose memories we honor to. day. The "desecrations" that ars do- plored-the sports and contests and diSsipations and debaucheries that have fastened upon the day originally set apart as sacred holiday. may disoour- age the more devoted friends of the soldiers, but they can never entirely divert attention from the real purpose of the day nor beguile the descendants of the patriots from the duty they owe the heroes who are gone and those who still remain.

THE HoUN' DAWG.

According to Baltimore writer, the now famous "Houn' Dawg" song with which Missouri hopes to sing Champ Clark into the democratic nomination for the presidency at the Baltimore con- vention, was not born in the Ozark mountains, as is popularly supposed. The lines are said to be those of a Ger man cradle song written in or before 1499. A copy of the original has been received by the Baltimore writer from a friend who says that in his travels through Germany he came across it in a scrap book of the fifteenth century, owned by one Joachim Koenig, an anti quarian of Nuremburg. The song is entitled "The Lay of the Dog," and the chorus is as follows:
 "Jedesmal ich int Dorfchen komm'
 Stossen die Jungens Mein Hund herum Mir ist's egal was Sonst sic thun-
 Sic duerfen nicht stossen mein Hund herum. "
 The following is given as a literal translation of the above:
 sEvery time come into the little village
 The boys knock my dog around It's all the same to me what else they do
 They must not knock my dog around"
 However, as "literal translation" it is not literal. This would be more like it: Every time into the small village come,
 Kick the boys my dog around. Lam it's all the same what else they do,
 They are permitted not to kick my dog around,

Mems Suffrage Leagues

There is no more encouraging feature of this struggle than the forming of Mems Leagues for woman suffrage in New York. Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, and other states. On that his- toric occasion in 1904 when the Empress of Germany received the officials of the International Council of Women, Miss Susan B. Anthony took the opportunity to express the hope that Emperor Vii. liam would give his approval to the so- called woman question" The Elm. press smiled, and said, The gentlemen are very slow to comprehend this move- ment." And SO they have been. not only in Germany, but in all countries. and nowhere quite so slow as in the United States. They had to wait till the men in half a dozen others had formed these leagues before it occurred to them to do so. One, of the founders of the New York League. Col. George Harvey, head of she Harper publications and editor of the North American Re- view. has long been an earnest advocate of the enfranchisement of women. Re. oently he gave an address in the Garden Theatre. New York Oity, which covered the whole subject so completely that one felt almost as if the last word had been spoken. Under the heading, "wcman's Inherent Right" he took up the ancient, time-worn objections and disposed, of them with ridioule or seriousness, ac- cordinR to their merits, demonstrating how in fact they demolished each other bands do and the number of voters would merely be doubled they would vote differently from their husbands and create domestic discord women would neglect their homes and families to vote; they would not vote if they had the sui frage ; women should become experts in government besore asking the franchise; under no circumstances should they at- tempt to deal with political problems women should be satisfied with mans government; politics is a mire of oor- ruption which women must not enter
 
 and so on and on. no objection with any logic or weight, all disproved by experi. ence aud fact. Colonel Harvey closed his argument with this strong assertion: "From every conceivable view point woman's right to participate in govern ment is inherent and. as such, pre- eminent sur assing all other preroga- tives, transcending all other privileges truth as self-evident and as worthy of striving to sustain as is that which con- stitures the orux of the American mans Declaration of Independence. {"
 Brave words these-to which the de- scendants of him who uttered them will look back with pride-such words as the descendants of those who are now oppos- ing woman suffrage will wish had been a part of their heritage

HUSTLE WHILE YOU WAIT.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

There's saying all about us
 That is just as true as fate, That you'll never be successful
 Lest you hustle while you wait. And you must not be discouraged.
 For success ofttimes comes late; But the time too quickly passes
 If you hustle while you wait. With your hand upon the lever,
 And your confidence in tate, You may look for certain vict'ry
 If you hustle while you wait.
