their puritancial ideas. Riley
Grannan's goodness was not of
a type that reached its highest
manifestation in ceremonious piety
1t found its expression in the hand
clasp Of friendship. 1t found its
voice in the word of cheer to a
discouraged brother. His were
deeds of quiet charity. His were
acts of manhood.
Riley Grammar lived in the
world of sport. My cords are not
minced because ! am telling what l
believe to be true. 1t was world
OF sport. sometimes of hilarity,
sometimes worse. He left the i'm
press of his character upon US all
and through the medium of his f.
nancial power he was able with his
money to brighten the lives of all
who knew him. He wasted his
money so the world says but did it
ever occur to you that the men and
women of such class upon whom
he wasted it are yet men and wo.
men? A little happiness brought
into their lives means as much 10
them as happiness carried into the
lives of the straight and the good.
II you can take one ray of sun
shine into the night life and there
by carry a single hour of happiness,
you are benefactor. Riley Gran
nan did this.
God confined not his sunbeams
to the nourishing of potatoes and
corn. His scattering of sunshine
was prodiHal. Contemp plate. He
filings the auroral beauties round
the cold shoulders Of the north. He
hangs the quivering picture of the
mirage above the palpitating heart
of the desert. He scatters the sun
beams like shattered gold upon the
bosom of a myriad of lakes that
gem the robe of nature. He spang-
les the canopy of night with star
jewels and silvers the world with
the reflected beams from on high.
He hangs the gorgeous crimson
curtain uf the occident across the
sleeping room of the sun.
God wakes the coy maid of the
morning to step timidly from her
boudoir of darkness, to climb the
steep of the orient to fling wide the
gates of morning, and to trip Ger
the landscape. kissing the flowers
in her flight. She arouses the
world to herald with their music
the coming Of her King, who floods
the world with effulgent gold.
These are wasted sun0eams. Are
they. | say to you that the men
or women who by the use of money
or power is able to smooth ore
wrinkle from the brow Of human
care or to change one moan or sob
into song, or to wipe away a tear,
and to place in It's stead a jewel of
joy, is public henefactor. Such was
Riley Grammar.
The time has come to say good
bye. For the friends and loved
ones not here to say the word let
me say good by old man. We
will try and exemplify the spirit
of your life as we bear the grief
at your parting. Words fail me
here. Let those flowers, Riley.
with their petaled lips and per.
fumed breath, speak in beauty and
fragrance those sentiments toe
ender for words. Goodbye.

VICTORY FOR SUFFRAGETTEs

Washington, Aug. 5-Msjor Syl-
vester. chief of Washington, u. C.
police, who was "vindicated" by q
Senate Committee of the charge
that by improperly policing the
suffrage parade of March 8, he was
directly responsible for the over
whelming of that pageant by the
inauguration crowd, seems to
have learned his lesson.
The Major evidently has intent
ion of fooling of fooling with
public opinion again. The recent
suffrage petition-in-boots as DEM
onstration for the equal suffrage
amendment which has been re-
ported to the Senate was as well
ptlicee as any procession ever seen
in Wasingtion.
There really was little chance
for hoodlums to break up the re-
cent procession even if there had
been any attempt to do SO, for
the petitioning woman all rode
in gaily decked automobiles, which
rolled down Pennsylvania Avenue
at swift rate. But Major Syl-
vester took no chances. There
was a formidable police guard
for the machines, in fact, a much
stronger guard than he one
which preceded the costumed
foot procession of March 8 which
attempted vainly to march through
streets jammed with half a mill
ion of spectators.
Far ahead of the recent auto
mobile procession rode a contin-
gent of motorcycle policemen in
khaki uniforms waving traffic out
of the street These were follow
by two outriders mounted on
horses Then came the Gordon of
dozen mounted officers riding
knee to knee Finally just ahead
of the parade was big automo-
bile loaded to the mucguards with
foot policemen for emergencies.
Major Sylvester has probably
to realization that public opinion
is mightier than the verdict of
any Senatorial Investigation COM
mittee.
WoRKMAN'S COMPENSATION
A just workmen's compensation
law is to be one the laws to re-
suit from a Democratic admins
tration
supplant the old liability statutes.
There are plenty of reasons why
this should be done. When
workman is killed, it is at present
necessary for the widow to accept
an unreasonable compromise or go
to court. She is poor and often
absolutely penniless. The corpor-
atiops have high salaried council,
ara they know how to have the
litigation continued and delayed.
In the end the widow may be
forced to accept a mere pittance.
