ceremonies will show that it merely
is an adaptation of a custom that is
SO old that it's origin is lost in the
misty past. The custom as we now
have it, as is very readily understood
and recognized, is new; it did not ex-
list before the Civil wal period. And
yet, after all, this modern holiday is
but the general acceptance Of an old
idea.
How long ago it has been customary
to strew flowers owe the graves of the
dead may not be asserted with any
degree of certainty. From the earliest
times of civilization it has been Gus
tomary to pay tribute to the dead,
whether fallen in battle or died in
peace. There is something about the
custom that is inseparable from the
practices of civilization.
Our decoration day, or Memorial
day. as it is customary now to call it,
was only the result of the spontaneous
desire to pay tribute to the thousands
of brave men who fell in the great
Civil a There was something ex-
t~raordinary which called forth this
spirit-a something that the present
generation may find difficult to thor
oughly comprehend and appreciate at
it's true value.
A f~our-years' war had kept the ma
ton, both north and south, in a state
of commotion and excitement. The
whole country, both north and south,
had contributed its young men, its
youths, and even many of it's men of
maturer years to the terrible struggle.
It is not difficult to understand just
what hat means. Here was a de-
termined war that had sent to their
graves brave men from every part of
the country. That meant thattin every
large town and in many a village there
we're men who went to the front who
never returned; many who did return,
only to Soon be borne to their graves

a remnant of disposition toward

While this country leads the

is yet very difficult to assemble.
In Monroe county, Colorado,
there are located 81 ore claims,
owned and controlled by one
company. From these several
mines 1000 tons of ore are taken
out every month, and this 1000
tons of ore. when manipulated

some facts. The News Scimitar |
lives and runs in q whisky city |
where neither God, man nor the
Devil is allowed to stand in the
way of making dollar--and the
News Scimitar is itself, to some
extent. a party to the anarchist
ic condition in Memphis. The
News Scimitar had the nerve to|
fight for Roosevelt in face Of its
lifelong history as a Democratic
paper, but it has not got the
nerve to fight whisky unlawfully
sold, and the mayor, Criminal
Judge and other officials who
protect the law breakers and the
outlawed business. However,
as a brigand, who yet retains
remembrance of more honest
days, may give good advice, we
reproduce a part of the Scimitar
editorial referred to. Here it is
and we especially commend its
e,usal to the Nashville Banner:
"Should Roosevelt be found
guilty as charged, which is by
no means likely, although the
trial is really one of politics, he
would still be less an offender
than Publisher Newett, who car
ries whisky advertisements fam
lug in his newspaper. The pur-
pose of an advertisement is to
call public attention to a par
ticular article, in order that as
many as may be induced to do
will buy it. Hence every whis-
ky advertisement is an invita-
zion to people to drink liquor,
and the more alluring and bra
gen the advertisement is, the
more vicious it io, and the more
destructive of public morals. 1t
is infinitely more vicious than
the saloon that, by its sign and
display, merely attracts the pass
erby, because it seeks people,
young and old, male and female,
in their homes, keeps the whis-
ky idea constantly before them,
accustoms the eye Of childhood
to the whisky bottle, inures it
to the sight of the pleased ex-
preston on the face of the unc.
tuous gentleman, who is usual
ly pictured in the act of pouring
out a decotion, with the result
that the un thinking, first en-.
dure, then pity, then embrace, "
to quote Pope's pregnant words.
As the sole function and effect
of liquor is to make people
drunk, every whisky advertise.
Iment is a broadcast invita- ton to
people to drink. 1t is a plea
and propagan1ist for more drink,
ers and more drunkenness.
Were this not true, the whisky
dealers would not be foolish
enough to pay out good money
| for it. I"
