IRE UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY,

He came in on one of the evening
trains and took the street car up town.
He was loaded down with plants and
flowers, bundles of greenery, bas-
ket of flowers and potted plants in
bieom. He crowded in and ont of the
car, making two trips to carry off his
burdens OF remembrance. Some one
who knew spoke of him after he had
left the car. He had come nearly 100
miles carrying his tribute Of memory 10
iay it upon the graves Of his father and
mother who rest in Riverside. Every
recurrent year he comes thus laden,
brightens the little plots in the GENE
terry with May blossoms and lays the
rosemary of a sons remembrance On
the graves of his parents.
There was a noticeable influx 10
the city last evening by the incoming
trains Of persons carrying floral tri5
utes to be placed today. The slim
florists boxes were very much in evi
dence. And this custom is growing
year by year. Memorial Day mas its
increasing number of home corners
who return 10 the old home for the
day to remember their dead and OBJ
serve the beautiful custom which had
its birth in the universal loss and
sorrow which followed the civil war.
1t is pledge TO the future OBJ
seryance Of the dav. Memorial Day is
one of our national holidays which
will grow in general observance as the
years pass. II touches a common
chord, affords expression Ter uni
versai feeling OF all our holidays It is
the most beautiful and nearest the
inner hearts Of our people, AS the
tenderest songs are those OF love and
of loss so is the Memorial holiday an
expression of tina, tenderness which
endures and the love that lives be-
yond death.
A beautiful holiday time for re
menbrance a renewal Of Eaith; for Il
the grass shall spring again and the
blossoms break out anew and the trees
renew their verdu-e with each recur

MOTHER WORKS OUT.

[ AMI
One OF the Is year old witnesses Tor
the state in the prosecution OF de-
PENDANTS awaiting trial for criminal
assaul, is the daughter of widow.
Every morning of her life, Sundays
excepted this widow mother is up at
80 O'Clock to sc, breakfast fer her
children and set the house in order
before she departs for work at $50.
AT she is on the jon in a factors,
she has an hour for lunch al noon,

Only a little while ago there came
10 the attention of the authorities the
horrible case of a widow who went

Not pleasant subjects these for dis

Argue as one will that economic con
ditions bear no relation To these
crimes. the fact nevertheless remains
that the reason the widows went GU;

selves and their children: and that the
reason the wife went on, 10 work was
because the earnings o. her husband

These recitaIs assist to understand
ing OF the need everywhere OF just
such a law as vas passed at the last
session of the Iowa legisla ture-a

that every man shall be paid a wage

found anywhere under the starry ban

mer. which transforms all out OF
doors into glorious realm Of color

akin to ancient song and half forgot

that have long since passed over the
stage. Nor is there anything fairer
than the coming of winter in Iowa,
when she arrays herself in her gar
ments of spotless white, and the water
courses are brdsed by winters engi-
neers and the children speak in terms
Of joy and reverence of the coming, of
Christmas.
Go to- neighbor. go to. Mend thy
ways Of thinking and of speaking.
There never has been a day that it
was not good to be alive in Iowa and
there has never been a day that 1t
