Topics Of the Times

Whether the Lusitania was an auxil-
larry to navy or not the shades of a
hundred little children are calling to
Wilhelm, why did you kill us?"
Note that Vanderbilt left a will in
which he directed as to the DISPOSE
ton Of his estate and he was COM
paratively a young man, too. How
many men of family have taken the
same precautions toward their own
dependents?
Watchful waiting has this merit as
a policy that it reduces to minimum
wasteful warning when intervention
becomes unavoidable.
Add the last two weeks to those
from Christmas to corn planting and
allow for few more rainy days yet
this summer and it can readily be
seen that Iowa has no roads for ap-
proximately half OF the days and
nights in each year.
keokuk has landed new factory
which will manufacture rubber tires
but Keokuk investors had to put up
large part of the capital and that is
the only way in which any town can
build factories of any consequence.
Iowa has regained her place in the
sun for which we are all rejoicing.
A man like Vanderbilt who had fifty
millions and no ability to devote any
part Of it to some great public work
leaves a mighty small hole in the
world when he drops out of it.
The little girls who carried the
! flowers to the cemetery today are the
twin sisters of those who were
| drowned in the Lusitania.
Great Britain's desire to prohibi,
the use of liquor during time of war i.
born Of police experience in the towns
that the way to stop a riot is to close
the saloons.
Hal Wells, automobile speed cham
pion, has gone to making aIrships. He
evidently has given up hopes of Iowa
ever building any hard surfaced roads
Those who decorated the graves OF
departed soldiers Monday should ex-
press thanks to President Wilson fol-
seeing to 1t of late that we have not
been making any more of them.
It is time now to spend our good
road taxes where so many millions
have been spent before. 1t is time
to drag and grade our dirt roads
again.
Most of US think we have passed thru
a pretty wet season when the pre-.
cipitation has reached SIS inches FOL
the month just passed but the rain.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial day was a growth from
the civil war. When, after the rage
of battle had died and the pitifulness
of the widespread mourning became
evident and kindly women going forth
with the spring to seek and adorn the
graves Of their fallen were touched by
the lonliness of neglected mounds Of
friend and foe dropped part of their
burdens of beauty upon other graves
than those of their own and of those
who fought with their own OF Mem
orial day was born.
AS the custom grew the day and its
exercise were dedicated to the soldiers
living and dead Of all our wars 1t
Is still so dedicated but with its gen.
eral observance has come a general
acceptance, which while giving prece-
pose, claims it to lay the tribute OF
flowers on the graves Of all who lie be-
meath the green gates that never swing
outward but who live in affectionate
memory. And so each grave is noticed
and marked as unforgotten.
If the dead soldiers know this 1t no
doubt adds sweetness to their knowl-
edge that a thousand communities meet
across the wide reach of continent
to do them honor and that the flowers
of the season perfume all graves with
the rosemary OF loving remembrance.
It Is well that the memorial includes
all That the roses rest above the sod
that the summer weaves over the rest
ing places Of mothers and fathers and
the grave OF the little child who died
CLOVIS with the emolems Of purity.
It is our most beautiful holiday,
most beautiful, tenderest, k!ndliest and
withal most prideful. Above all IL rec
ognizes most self sacrifice It is a
pledge to those who rest that they re-
main unforgotten. That Is the deepest
craving Of all who live in the knowi-
edge that they must die-that they
fail not in the memories Of those they
loved.
Soldier and pioneer and all who lie IN
the deep peace and quiet Of Gods Acre:
cover them over with beautiful flowers.

THE BLUSH OF SHAME.
[Iowa City Citizen.1

Clever persons In Pennsylvania have
swindled the state out Of more than
$4,000 year by turning IN to the
counties common rat skins. represent
ing them to be weazel skins, and col
lecting the 50 bounty on each.
This information will bring the blush
of shame to certain clever persons in
Iowa, whose utmost ingenuity in this
direction has produced only the idea OF
carefully keeping old wolves alive from
year to year, that there may be an an
nual crop of young ones to sell to the
county.

FUNKS WELCOME.

webster City Freeman Tribune.]
Iowa is glad to know that Senator
A. B. Funk Is coming back to this
state. During the past few years he
has been in the northwest and his
health is said to have been much i'm
proved Mr.. Funk is credit to the
citizenship of any state and such men
add luster to history. He was In pub
lie life many years and there was
never a suspicion Of scandal or wrong
doing in anything with which he was
ever connected. Clean. able. consci-
entious, possessing fine personality
and a kind heart, he was and Is a
tower Of strength. It is the hope Of
the Freeman Tribune that MI. Funk
may be spared yet many years to ben
eft mankind.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil. The Journal

LITIGATION OVER THE
CHURCH WILL ENDED

Memphis, Tenn, June 1.-The
fight against the will of the late
r. R. Church ended today, when
the Supreme Court of Tennessee
in an unanimous opinion handed
down through Mr.. Justice Fan
cher held that the will could not
be attacked, and that those who
had challenged it had no standing
in court.
This means that the estate, one
of the largest in the territory, left
by colored man without a cent
of Indebtedness against it, will be
distributed as he directed, and in
no other way, and that the widow,
Mrs. Anna S. Church, executrix,
will be undisturbed as the agent
of the lawful heirs.
Tie case attracted wide notice,
because of the fortune involved
and the prominence of the Church
family. 1t has been in the courts
about three years.
Laura Napier claimed to be a
daughter of Mr.. Church, and ask
ed the right to attack the will
The burden of the defense of
the will has been borne by Robert
R. Church, Jr., who acted for his
family. The heirs are the widow,
Mrs. Anna S. Church; Miss An
nette E. Church, E. r. Church, Jr.,
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, and
Thomas A. Church.

JACK JOHNSON SAYS HE
Is NOW AN ACTOR

London, May 29.-Jack John
son Tesplendent in asuit of white
wool, wherein black checks figured
dazzlingly, walked up Piccadilly
this afternoon accompanied by g
white. man wearing a silk hat
whose extreme height was less
than five feet.
Johnson was in high spirits,
and stopped a dozen times in ev-
cry block to chat with acquain-
tainoes.
According to his story, he went
TO Spain lust to see the bulltight," ="
but the most interesting announce
ment he made was that he is about
to turn into a regular actor"
Questioned concerning his
plunge into the world of thespians.
johnson insisted that he is very
serious about it, and pointed out
the case of Jim Corbett's success.
My partner here" he said, in
dicating the diminutive white
man, will be the straight end of
the team and | will be the commed
ian. He will play the piano and ]
will sing and dance and do the
comedy business. We have a
sketch all worked out. 1t ought to
go with a scream.
81 certainly can dance with any
of them, and l know how TO sing,
too"
Asked for his opinion of Jess
Willard, johnson smiled hugely.
"He is pretty good man." he said,
pretty good, but that about lets
him out"
