has some part, silent and personal or
spoken and visible. in making it sacred
observance.
A CITY'S TRIBUTE.
On the Delaware men who fought in
battles of the sea are tossing flowers on
the ceaseless tide, in pathetic symbol of
the passing of human life. In parks and
public places orators stand in the midst
of groups of worn n-uniformed men and
tell again of the glory of their native
land. Great words of noble leaders are
read to men whose throats are choked
with sobs-whose eyes are dimmed with
tears. School children pay their spon-
taneous tribute to their childhood heroes,
The ranks of the veterans are thinning.
In some of their groups a mere corporals
guard remains to honor those who have
gone to join the majority beyond the veil.
A regiment of a thousand has passed
away since the last Memorial Day. Car
riages bear many that in other years
marched firmly in the martial line. Others
walk more slowly, their shoulders bowed.

License Law Is Held
Unconstitutional

Judge E. j. L. Taber in the district
court at Elko has rendered Adhesion
declaring the State license law re-
curing travelling merchants to pay
a license fee of 500 to be unconsti-
tutional, so far as the clause is con-
cerned under which vegetables and
other food products raised in Ne
vada were allowed to be peddled
without a license. He holds the
clause is a discrimination against the
food products of other States. The
decision is the ~outgrowth of a test
