ample and 10 Danish all intoxicating

ISOLATION should be specially author
lied to issue "a national prohibition

Memorial Day Exercises

Headquarters Liberal Post No. POS,
G. A. r.
The Goth day of May has been des-
ignated for the purpose of strewing
with flowers and otherwise decorating
the graves Of comrades who gave their
lives in defense OF their country dur
ing the late Rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in nearly every city,
village and hamlet churchyard in the
land. We are organized, comrades,
for the purpose, among other things,
of preserving and strengthening those
kind and fraternal feelings which
bound together the soldiers, sailors
and marines who united to suppress
the Rebellion. Nothing can aid more
to secure this result than by cherish
ing tenderly the memory of our hero
lc dead who made their breasts bari
cade between our country and its foes.
Their soldier lives were the reveille
of freedom to race In chains, and
their deaths the tattoo Of rebellious
tyranny in arms. Let US guard their
graves with sacred vigilance. All
that the consecrated wealth and hon
or of the nation can add to this
adornment is but a fitting tribute to
the memory of her slams defenders.
Let no wanton foot tread rudely on
such hallowed grounds; let pleasant
paths invite the coming and going OF
reverent visitors and fond mourners.
If other eyes dull and other hands
slack, If hearts grow cold In this SOL
emn trust ours shall keep 1t as long
as light and warmth Of life remains
to us. Let US then at the appointed
time gather around their sacred rest
ing places, and garland the mounds
above them with the choicest flowers
Of Springtime. Let us raise over
them the dear old flag they loved so
we'll; let us in this solemn presence
renew our pledges to assist those
whom they left among us, as asacred
charge on a nations gratitude, the
soldiers and sailors widows and or
phans.
An invitation Is extended to all old
soldiers and the public generally to
meet with us on that day and assist
with these services. On Sunday,
May %, Rev. A. W. hide will preach
a memorial sermon at the Methodist
church at IL a. m. This will be a
union service, and an invitation is
extended to all church organizations
and the public as well, to meet with
US on that day. On Memorial Day,
May 20, the afternoon services will
be held at the Christian church, Rev.
Hestwood making the principal adj
dress. Further arrangements will be
published later

American Lives Lost.

The Bristish steamer Lusitania was
sunk by a German submarine last
Saturday, and several scores of Amer
lean passengers lost their lives. The
incident has served to complicate the
already delicate international situa-
tion In Washington, and our govern
ment officials are sitting tight on the
salty valve. President Wilson and
the cabinet are giving the matter
their undivided attention, and at the
time this is written there seems but
small likelihood that a special session
Of congress will be called to consider
the probability of declaring war,
Now, If ever, is the proper time for
every true citizen to consider things
disspasslonately, and realize the
heavy responsibility that rests upon
our president and high officials. In
that connection we quote an editor
ial from a recent issue Of the Kansas
City Star, which contains advise that
is worth considering:
THE melting pot" has got now to
prove that 1t has fused nation. 1t
is up to this Nation to stand by its
President, by its national leaders,
with the same unity any kingly gov
ernment commands from Its people
individuals not In official place
cannot know all the facts. They are
not in position to form completely in.
telligent or informed Judgement.
They may, II they will, indulge In i'm
pulsiye sentiments and possibly un-
just expressions OF opinion. The Pres
ident may not do that. On him rests
the responsibility for 100 million
people. He must speak with calm
ness and deliberation. On him Fate
and the voice Of the people have cast
the burden of history, 1t is but just,
it Is only safe, that the voice Of the
people shall choose him as It's oracle. ="
"The fact that q fateful incident
has arisen should all the more serve to
bind the country into one homogen-
eous whole that the President may
have hisfullest opportunity to. deal
justly with all nations and guide the
American people In the way that his
toric dlspassionate opinion will ap-
prove" 4.-s.- ~.
