MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial day yesterday was OBJ
served with the ceremonies customary
to the occasion. if anything a little
more impressive than ever before. Each
year markes the passage of the veterans
to the Beyond and their ranks arc
thinning fast But a few years more
and there viii be no more left to tell
us Of those days of storm and strife
when the Blue and the Gray bore arms
against each other, each in defense of
what they thought was right. Flags
flew at haIf-mast generally through
out the city and business was practi-
.cally suspended.
The practice of strewing flowers upon
the water in memory Of the sailor dead
.is coming to be recognized as one Of
the most impressive and beautiful
events of the day and was witnessed
by a crowd of silent. thoughtful people.
The honors of war which far out
weigh its pomp and ranoply are the
lessons being taught today and while
we would not wrest one blossom from
the wreath of memory placed by low
ing hands ON the grave of valor, we
would strive to hasten the day when
war shall be universally obborred.
NO more shall the war cry sever
Nor the winding river be red"

THE PEOPLE OF EVERETT
A FEW MONTHS PLEAS
URE? A SUGGESTION TO
BUSINESS MEN.

This is to be no knock on Everett.
We've got a grand little city here and
we know it. Ideal location, magnificent
scenic surroundings, energetic business
and professional men and class of
laboring people that are the salt of the
earth. But we do lack something. Do
you know what it is? Outdoor places
of amusement and recreation. Oh, yes.
there are splendid roadways for the
auto enthusiasts; theaters every night
in the year; summer excursions with
out number. But for the man of fam
lily who works all day long for a small
wage and who cannot spend nickel
for recreation without feeling that he
is robbing little Johnnie of pair of
shoes or little Mary of a new dress
life has a pretty gray outlook for that
class, hasn't it? And we've got just
one tiny little spot where he and his
family can 90 on an evening or a
Sunday afternoon and get away from
bit loul walls VI HIS Hoie lOI Il llttlT
While. That's the City park. We
ought to have half dozen scattered
throughout the city.
But it isn't the matter of parks SC
much that impeled us to write this. 1t
was something else suggested to our
mind by the Seattle crusade for free
outdoor summer band concerts. Can
you think of any one thing in life that
takes us momentarily out of our
troubles, lifts the load from our should
ers, gives a surcease to sorrow, more
than the strains of music? When the
circus parade goes by, don't our nerves
| tingle and our pulses leap as We hear
the first lively strains of the circus
band? Let a show band appear upon
the street corner and a thousand peo-
pie appear as if by magic.
Say, Mr.. Business Man, your com
mercial association is constantly reach
ing out for more trade, more business,
new industries, and your efforts are
commendable Did-you ever stop to
think that you could do as much for
your city, bring as much credit to this
old berg, by bringing little good cheer
to the people that live here now as by
hustling for more industries, more
peopleH
Wouldn't it be fine to have two
weekly band concerts for the benefit of
our people? Say one midweek even
ing concert in some portion of the bust
ness section and Sunday afternoon
concert in the City park. The cost
Twelve or fifteen hundred dollars would
provide such program for three or
four months. Three dollars apiece
from each member of the Commercial
club would make that amount. Could
you find better investment or one
that would pay bigger dividends
Possibly the park board could help
out. The Labor Journal isn't very rich,
but it will come in on such a PROPOSE
tion if reliable parties win take up
the project. We know the Musicians
union would meet you half way
We leave this suggestion with the
business men of Everett to think over
Wouldn't it be fine to give the people

thing that they would look forward to

1T HAPPENED AT WEISER S

told of the course dinner given the
Northwest league magnates at the Ho

wondered-audibly As a matter of

of the most popular cafes in the city,
This cafe is second to none in the city

DID THE LAW
SLIP A COG!
CASE OF GLADYS JOHNSON.
WHO WENT TO JAIL BE-
CAUSE SHE TOLD A LIE TO
COVER UP HER REPENTED
PAST. AGAIN EXPOSES
OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM TO
PUBLIC SCRUNITY.

Gladys johnson lives in Seattle. Her
present address is the King county Jail.
1t happened this way;
Several months ago she was severely
injured, through the negligence of the
city, her attorney claimed. She brought
a personal damage suit against the city
of Seattle. Of course it was up to the
legal minds who represent the city to
safeguard the city's strong box. The
man with a primitive mind would have
sought to show only that the woman
was negligent and not the city, but law
yers work in a mysterious way their
wonders to perform
They got busy on Gladys Johnson's
history. They found that years ago in
the East she had been married before,
and that-well, she had loved not wise
ly but too well.
For nine years she had lived a
blameles life, She was happily married
Her husband knew her past and
was helping her to live it down. She
was doing it too. All the cross-ques-
tioning of the lawyers failed to draw
one criticism of her life since her last
marriage. If it were you who Were
trying with all your might to hold up
your head in society and the opposing
lawyer suddenly asked you point blank
about your buried past, what would you
do? Probably deny it, wouldn't you
That's what Gladys johnson did when
they asked her if she had been previ-
ously married. She lied about it and
the law-the cold, inexorable law
said it was perjury and she must be
single thing to do with the question as
to whether the city was or was not Ii
able for negligence in the case at bar,
but it let the city out wholeskinned
and was veritable triumph for the
majesty of the law. Gladys Johnson
didn't get any damages-she got a Jail

to the woman whom he took on faith,
pleaded to be allowed to serve her sent

pay the penalty, said the law.
Again the eternal question, is
there one law for the rich and another
for the poor? The law points to Gladys
Johnson in the King county Jail and
C. d. Hillman on McNeiPs Island, and
answers, No, Public Opinion looks over

Gather around, good folks, and listen
hard. Everett has an opportunity right
now to climb back into the North
west league, and it is up to you. The
story of the Tacoma miXup has been
told before so we won't 90 into it in
detail here. Suffice to say there is
a vacant berth and Everett is the fav
orite among the league officials for that
position. An impression has gone out
that Everett is being used as club to
drive Shredder back into line and insure
the re placing of the club in Tacoma.
We do not say this may not happen,
but our authority is godl that the
majority of the directors believe that
Everett is ripe for league bail and
would like to give us the Tacoma fran
chise We believe they are acting in
good faith with Jack Healy.
Any how, we are to be given chance
to see what we can do in the way OF
support and three games will be played
here between Vancouver and Tacoma
or Everett" as we hope the latter
team is to be known.
This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the first
game will be played, to be followed by
games Saturday and Sunday. The at
tendance upon those games will, in all
likelihood, decide the matter whether
Everett will remain in the semi-profes
sional ranks or move up into big league
circles.
The business and manufacturing in
terests should give these games serious
consideration. Nothing fixes the status
of city more than its ability to sup
port league ball We venture to state
without fear of contradiction, that the
sensational ball playing by the Ever
EFT team the year we led the North
west league and the magnificent sup
port accorded by the citizens did as
much or more to advertise Everett as a
wide awake, aggressive city, than all
the advertising literature or boom
stories sent out during the whole year.
Walter Thornton's great team was one
of the best boosting mediums Everett
ever had.
Sentiment is not going to run away
with business judgment, however, with
the league magnates. They're able to|
put the team in here and finance it,
but they're not going to do it unless
they have reason to believe the box of
flee is going to talk in reasonable
terms.
Mills and stores could we'll afford to
close Saturday afternoon and pour their
crowds into the ball park. The bust
ness they would lose in one-half day
would be but a drop in the bucket com
fpared to the advantages to be derived
in placing Everett on the baseball map
once more. Loosen up

REST AND READING ROOM.

An excellent move on the part
of the Woman's Civic Improve.
ment Club has been inaugurated
that will prove very popular in
the future. A committee ap-
pointed to secure suitable quar-
tcrs for Il reading and rest room
prevailed upon the Business
Mems Club and were given per-
mission to use the club rooms
in The Times-Herald building ex-
cept on Wednesdays and Sun
days. which are retained for the
business men.
The ladies are preparing to
have the rooms open each after
noon and evening and the latest
literature will be ut the disposal
of all those who desire to take
advantage of it. The rooms will
be under the supervision Of the
ladies who will see that all visi-
tors are received properly and
the place kept in a neat and COM
Portable manner. II will be an
excellent place for those coming
in from the country and strang-
ers who come to our city from
time to time and have no other
place to spend a quiet and prof.
table hour. With the ladies in
charge it will be n pleasant place
for the boys, men or ladies'.
where all will be welcome so long
as they conduct themselves as
guests should. The move should
and will have the active moral
support of all our citizens and all
should contribute such magazines
and other reading matter as they
have. besides giving the ladies
such other encouragement as
they can.
The Times Herald can help in
this way very materially with eX-
changes that may be taken al
most as soon as they come to the
office. The ladies' are invited TO
call mt the office each day and get
such supply as can be spared.
No doubt others will be equally

ing we can make the reading and

THE EXPERIMENT FARM.

A large number of people from
Burns took advantage of the fine
weather last Sunday and visited
the Dry Farm Experiment Sta
ton. 1t had been advertised that
Prof. Scudder would give a talk
on that afternoon and several
automobiles were out from this
city loaded with both ladies and
gentlemen. Those coming early
were personally conducted over
the buildings by Professor Scud-
der and Supt. Breithaupt and the
modern conveniences explained
The two residence buildings
are models of convenience and
every housewife present showed
her delight land incidentally
nudged her husband) when some
of the particular features were
explained. 1t was shown that
every detail had been carefully
planned before their erection for
the benefit of the occupants. The
interior arrangement of the
house, distance from the wood
shed, the barns, sheds, ETC., have
all been prearrangee.
Prof. Scudder took a part of
his time in the general addre IS
to explain about the buildings
and their purposes. He stated
these modern conveniences we've
not particularly for the people
who occupied them. but were
planned as models to show the
farmer what he could do and
what a farm house should be.
One of these buildings is more
than the other, but the
one has the same conven-
lent features. thus any farmer
may see the possibilities.
The water system, root cellar,
septic tank, barn, lots, pig pens,
seed house, all are models for the
farmer to follow on whatever
scale his finances may cover.
There were a number of farm
,rs from the immediate commu-
lity in attendance at this meet
ng all showing a lively interest
n the talk. Even the town peo-
Die showed their interest and the |
aides were very attentive. VIM.
Miller gave a short talk and in
reduced Prof. Scudder who di-
'ided his attention between the
armers and the ladies during
lis remarks.
