.B|GGER CELEBRATION
 OF MEMORIAL DAY
1t Is Intended to Make it a Lesson
 in Patriotism

At the meeting of J. w. Owen Post G. A. R. last Wednesday it was re- solved to arouse d wider and perma- nent interest in Memorial Day eXer- cises. It was determined to appeal to the younger element, the Sunday school pupils and to such organizations as the Normal school cadets. It was resolved to make it a lesson in patriotism and not day for games and sports.
 A committee composed of Andrew Downing, Rev. MT. McDowell, the chap lain of the post and William Grier was appointed to secure a pastor of a church where services will be held on the morning of the day. The commit tee will also confer with the mayor and endeavor to secure the cooperation of the merchants of the city by the clos ing of their places ofbusiness between the hours of 10 to 12 of Memorial Day while the services are in progress.
 The veterans realize that if the cele- bration of the day is left to devolve wholly upon them it will not be long before it will cease to be celebrated.

 A true Progressive will move in a straight line toward the common en- emy, the corrupt Republican boss and crooked big business combined with the subsidized press, regardless of the missiles and Instructions thrown in his way
 The true Progressive would rather vote for a Progressive Democrat any time than support an old line, stand pat Republican, for the reason that the Democrats in their national con- vention at Baltimore proved their ability to relegate their corrupt po- litical bosses to the rear, something the Republicans failed to do at Chi cago; and at this time. are complete ly in control of that class of un-
 desirable citizens.
 The rank and file of the Progress sive party are made up of the class of citizens, who in times of war offer themselves as soldiers to fight their country's battles. They realize the fact that there are battles to be | fought in times of sO-called peace, that require the same self-sacrifice as are those in times of armed strife The Progressive party will, when | placed in power, eliminate the condi- tions that have caused the present great industrial unrest, and in some localities actual war between labor and capital.
 The Progressive voter who grows | impatient, and is looking backward
 toward that old decrepit, corrupt or ganization to which he formerly be-
 longed, had better repair to his clos

 Him, the God of the universe, foI
