MEMORIAL DAY AND THE q. A. R.

% ~ EMORIAI DAY will be observed in all sections of
III the United States tomorrow The graves of Union
soldiers will be bedecked with flags and flowers; vol
leys will be fred over them by their surviving
rades will be parades in honor Of their mem
ories and OF their valiant services in the field in de-
Tense of the integrity the Union. Il will be demon
stration in which men, and children will join.
and remembrance the dead will extend far beyond
the graves Of the Union soldiers. The cemeteries viii
be masses Of bloom
The most conspicuous figures in the memorial dem
onstration will be the members the Grand Army OF
the Republic With shrunken ranks and. in many in
stances with oerng steps, the members of that great
patriotic organization will do honor to the memories Of
comrades-in-arms who have passed away before them
All Deawareans will notice with regret the great de-
crease in the number Of G. A. r. men In line COM
pared with the number that marched few years ago
In the Department of Delaware there have been six
teen deaths since January last and the total member
ship OF that department has dwinded until II is 4ss
In other departments death also has cut wide
swath IN the membership. The number or deaths an
proximates 10000 annually. That means that in few
years the Grand Army will cease to be feature
Of Memorial Day celebrations because il will have died
TO a man.
The first post of the Grand Army Of The Republic was
organized in Decatur ILL.,, April 6, 1865. The first
National Encampment was held In Indianapolis on No
vember 30 1856 AS the organization has aged the NOR
tally has increased the year ended December 81,
1907 the Grand Army lost 242 members by death In
1908 there we're 24 added the death roll and
1909 also levied heavy toll. Another besvy blow was
struck at already depleted organization in 1870
when 9151 deaths reported Since then m0rtsiity
has been making great in The ranks thar already
had been thnned.

organization by getting In members 10 take the
places of who had died have been uDavaiinE On

dwinded to 2O3A1O. Therefore, IL will be seen that
many persons outside the Grand Army who VIII tpke
part In the memorial exercises tomorrow viii live -
take part in other similar exercises IN which there viii
be no Grand Army participant The indications are
that It will be only few years until that condition
exists.
The veterans who win march tomorrow may rest as

publican National Convention He went down 10 ue-
feat Notwithstanding he made personal appeals to the
voters in all sections of the state and even continued
his sneech-making up to the time the voters were
going to the polls Colonel Roosevelt simply had the
voters hypnotized and the President could not say
anything or do anything that would lead tnem 10
desert the Rough Rider from Sagamore Hill Every
thing indicates that the Colonel has captured all the
large and also all the district delegates

him from defeat The voters had made up their m'nas

This great reverse for President Taft following the
reverses in Pennsylvania. Maryland and Ohio

it means that President Taft will not be nominated
for second term That is denied by the Taft man
ayers They say he already is assured Of majority
of the delegates the Chicago Convention and that It
will not avail Colonel Roosevelt to win any more
II is no secret that the Roosevelt men have
two aims in view. One is TO nominate Colonel Roose

prevent the nomination of President Taft If they can
not land Colonel Roosevelt and TO try to select the
dark horse nominee The Taft say they will ac-

II HE report Of the Senate committee appointed TO in
vestigate the sinking of the White Star Line steam
er Titanic is scathing arraignment of the owners and
officers Of the i-starred craft and also of the Off
GERS Of the steamship Californian who are accused OF
having guilty OF negligent indifference in hav
ing failed respond the Tanic's distress signals.
only for that indifference, the committee headed by
Senator William Alden Smith, says all those on board
the Titanic might have been saved. The committee
also calls attention the that the officers of the
Titanic ignored four warnings of ice ahead and that
when she struck the berg she racing through the
water at speed of twenty-our and onehalf miles an
hour. These are only a few Of the STRUCTURES passed
upon those responsible for the wreck and the conse
quent loss Of life and property The committee rec
ommends that ships be compelled to carry adequate
Hfe-savng appliances and least two searohlights.
Regulation Of wireless telegraphy radical changes in
the methods Of steamship construction and the
effective manning Of all passengercarryng ocean ships
also among the recommendations. The committee
also that radical steps be taken 10 prevent anna
wireless operators Interfering with the trans
mission Of between ships and shore stations.
No personal criticism OF j. Bruce lsmay managing
director Of the White Star Line is made in the
port although thousands Americans unques-
tionahy think he deserves scathing official comment.
No doubt the findings and recommendations of the
Smith committee will result in the elimination of many
Of the dangers and abuses that exist IN ocean
travel and that the effect of the of the COM
mittee will be felt both sides of the Atlantic.
