A DAY OF UNIVERSAL MEMORY.

Memorial day, instituted as the pc
4 culiar day of the fallen soldiers of the
civil war, has developed into a day of
! universal memory of those who have
passed on beyond our love and COM
| partnership. If the brave souls whose
J ceremonial know this they surely APP
prove the widening of the love of the
! living 10 include all the graves OF this
country; for these men were unseltish
and paid their lives for others. If they
know, we believe il is a great JOY TO them
that tenderness and memory pay their
tribute of flowers to all the loved and
lost and that kindliness and the hu-
man brotherhood that exists more uni
rersally because they lived and died as
they did stops to lay blossom on ne
sake of the day.
We have no holiday holier than the
day we celebrate. Among all the I'M
pulses that stir to human action none
is sweeter or finer and holier than the
remembrance that keeps alive our dead
and matches their memory again into
the web of life. For all the world is
built on the lives that have been and
served and passed thru all the centur
les. the memory that retains the good
that men have done and casts away the
evil that has existed as unworthy
dross. II is not true that the evil that
men do lives after them and the good
is Oft inferred with their bones. On the
contrary memory is forever busy with
the good that men have done. the
splendor of life given bravely in the
closet or the field"
Great always is that nation that re-
members its dead: for those who for
get their dead forget the living, and
fail 10 read Alright the long lesson of
history.
The men who fought the great war
for civil liberty pass. They wither as
the leaf and are not; but their deeds
and the holiday that bloomed from
their graves will never die. Decoration
day and its beautiful ceremonlals have
brought new and universal sweetness,
recurrent beauty that springs with
the grass and the flowers and buds Pc
rennially with the leaves of the trees.
Cover them over with beautiful
flowers all the dead that deserve love,
all that deserve pity. all that would
hand and the smile of fri endiy. face.
Perhaps that more than any other rea-
son, is why God made flowers. ~ .

POPULARITY.

Popularity Is the greatest single as
set OF the politician and sometimes
the only one that can be detected with
the naked eye. 1t Is worth more to
an office-seeker to be born with q
good, non-peeling coat Of popularity
than to have an unlimited campaign
fund and union labor card.
Popularity is caused by what people
think OF a man before they have had
time to find out how he treats his wife.
Some of the most popular men who
ever moved to town shed their popu-a
larity in one piece. like a coat shirt,
when the neighbors get chance to
hear scraps of their conversation
oozing out of the kitchen window. You
ard l have known men who were SO
popular at the club that they never
had to buy anything but mineral wa
ter, but who were subject to the plate
glass discount Of 80 per cent off in
sixty days on reaching home. This
teaches us that popularity is some
times a mere polish which shines best
among total strangers. 3"
The best kind Of popularity Is that
which Is not looking for results. The
statesman who Is looking for popular
lily with dark lantern and a pair of
gum boots Is usually about as short
lived as spit-ball pitcher. Nobody
ever attained durable grade of pop
uIarty by being confined to a sick
bed every time there was a critical
and expensive roll call. A man may
be able to bolster up his popularity
for at ime with free garden seeds, al
falfa literature and Fourth of July
orations, but sooner or later the pro-
letariat will secure his actual chest
after which it is good
night. r. -,.r
Popularity never deserts man in
public life who always votes and takes

A HAIR TRIGGER CONVENTION.

Not the convention at ST. Louis with
its foregone conclusion bat the con-
vent!on at Chicago with It's possibili-
ties unknown and its conclusions all to
reach will decide the next election. The
S.. Louis convention has nut one can
d!daLe. Circumstances have forced
the democrats to agreement on Wilson.
There are those in The party who
would seek further but lack any def
mite objective. So they fall in with
the main body and Will be run thru
the Wilson chute at ST. Louis.
But IL is not so on the other side
Of The fence. There is no scarcity Of
candidates before the Chicago conven-
ton and no lack of opportunity for
dissension. Unlike the democratic
party which Is endeavoring to supple
ment a political occurrence with a real
victory the republicans must reorgan-
!ze after a defeat brought about thru
d!ssension within itself.

from the vote of 100000 Of the pre-

to return to power They will come
back but not as body to be wagged
by the tail. If the republican nominee
is to get the 100000 and more votes
that belong to republican candidate
he must be representative Of the later
repu bile anism. Otherwise the six mil
lion odd democrats will defeat the
100000.
The platform will mean much: but
the candidate will mean more. The
average voter casts his ballot for the
man as representative of the issues
and the political ideas that please him
without much thought Of platforms ex-
cept in a general way. A candidate
who can not hold the progressives will
gather but a perfunctory support. A

progressives can stand is indispensa-

are planks to be thrown out ami

discomfort to the soles Of tender feet.
From appearances the wise men of
the east have learned somewhat Of the
strength and sentiment Of the west
and have lost much Of that arrogance

massiveness had cultivated. At ans
rate it is as evident as the multiple
cation table that the decision for VIC
tory or defeat is up to the Chicago
convention. There 1t rests for tbs
present.
