AN INVITATION has been extended certain citizens
by the mayor to form self appointed committee to visit
the chemical filtration water works at Cincinnati They
are to pay their own way because the city, unfortunate
y, has no funds for this purpose" Why not; the city
gave the engineers 300 to bring in Doe Haskns reports
But anyway this restricts the committee to those who
afford the trip, and workngman will be in the crowd
Perhaps that is the intention. If the working people
counted for anything in the eyes Of the city admnist
ton would have had filtered water long ago. for only
the working people drink city water
And the Cincinnati trip will be farce day is only
long enough to the plant and have the benefcarie
of the chemical system there defend it. That is perhaps
the intention in order to bolster up the losing OF
the chemical system in Wheeling.
The only way for committee to know the truth is
to go to the different cities where the different methods
used and interview the people, who have
to grind This the committee will not do if Doc Has
ns help it. for the committee would then bring back
the report that the Trades Assembly committee
brought back for among the of the people who use
water from all the systems the only onehere the senti
ent is unanimously favorable is the Natural Slow Sand
System.

Decoration Day.

With the approach of Decoration,
or Memorial Day, perhaps a brief
note of its origin will be interesting.
1t is, as every school child knows, a
day set apart in the United States
for the decoration of the graves of
soldiers who fought in the Civil war.
The custom originated before the
close of the war when the women of
the south went to the graves of the
fallen soldiers and decorated them
with wild flowers. At about the
same time a similar custom arose in
the north, and on May 5, 1868, Gen
eral John A. Logan, then command
er in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, fixed May 80 of that year
as the day upon which the graves
of soldiers should be strewn with
flowers. Since that time, though
there has been no Federal legisla-
tion, most states have appointed
May 80 as a holiday for this purpose
In the south, the day is generally
called Memorial Day; in the north,
Decoration Day.
