MEMORIAL DAY.

Minna Irving in Leslie's.
The years have changed the uniforms
And crimson cords to dust,
The shining buttons and the swords
Are covered now with rust.
The Germ OF peace and plenty waves
Where once earth was red,
But faithfully we cherish still
The memory Of our dead,
Today We lock the office door,
And stop the busy mill,
To drop d garland and a tear
In places green and still.
Where north and south together sleep
As brothers meath the sod,
And wait beneath one starry flag
The final call Of God.
=
The rolling Of the angry drums
When mighty armies met,
The leaden battle-bees OF death,
Are things that We forget;
But 10, the glory Of the blue,
The courage Of the gray,
immortal in the nations heart.
Will never pass away.

Wonderful.

The same wonderful brain that
conceived the notion that the water
works property for which after nine
years the city Is to pay nearly six
and half million dollars could be
acquired by immediate compulsory
purchase for three million dollars,
claims credit through the local demo
cratic organ for the idea that a pre-
ference vote to succeed sitting ma
tional Committeeman operates as an
immediate custer on the incumbent
without waiting for the expiration
Of his term.
The amazing thing 10 this open
sesame remained so long undiseov-

The Water works Compromise.

More than nine years after the
initial proceedings under the i'm
mediate and compulsory" purchase
law. a settlement has been reached by
compromise whereby the city OF
Omaha is TO come into possession
upon payment of s6.3s2. T20.17, con-
fession OF judgment in all hydrant
rental suits and stoppage Of all pend
ing litigation.
Under the circumstances, after
having been beaten at every turn of
the long road with the exception of
the one matter of interest. this is
the quickest and perhaps the best
way out.
Had our people family suspected
in the early stages of the game that
II would be July /, 1912, before
actual possession would be had. and
that the city would take the property
subject to a fixed annual charge OF
s315,000 without counting sinking
fund obligations and 100000 in
taxes foregone-property We we're as
sured could be had for $4,000 900

have been somewhat different.
II Is to be noted. too. that actual
purchase had 10 come by way Of

The Bee said 1t would have TO. Had

ayers Of the municipal water plant

lions which they have inspired In our
people. The Water board and It's
spokesmen have persistently and In

high, that the cost OF operation has
beon excessive, that the reservoir

these representations have been de-
clared unfounded by the water COM
pany. the Water board will have .
chance to prove them by making

So far as The Bee is concerned, II
Will treat those In charge OF the
water works when II becomes part OF
the city's activities the same as those
In charge Of any other municipal de-
psrtment. II will give them full
credit for good work. and criticlse

upon their heads no iron bailstorm shall
