Returning the
Battleflags

ON number of occasions the news
papers have announced the re-
turn 10 the survivors of the Con
federacy OF hags which were captured
during the war between the states
The passing Of more than fifty years
since the close of that tremendous
struggle has quenched the animoSities
which it had eugendered, and the PEG
pie of the north have many times
stretched forth a fraternal hand to
the people of the south. The hand
has been grasped In the same spirit In
which It was extended, but there have
been rather few instances where cap.
tured northern flags have been return,
ed to the survivors of the Union cause
Now comes an inspiring-illustratio
OF the growth of this spirit of fraterni-
" on the part of the boys who wore
the gray. Recent dispatches announced
the return of the battle torn flag of
the Seventy sixth Ohio Volunteer In
fantry. which was captured in a
sanguinary engagement at Ringold
Gap, Ga. The Ohio regiment held its
annual reunion at Newark, and one of
the pleasing features of the occasion
was the presentation to the regiment
of the captured flag.
There is not an American worthy of
the name who viii not feel a warmer
thrill of Americanism as he hears of
such instances as this, which set new
seal upon the reunion of the once di-
vided sections. The bitterness which
was aroused by the action Of President
Cleveland when his first official act
was an attempt to return to the ex-
Confederates some captured battle
flags has long since died away. That
was thirtytwo years ago, a genera
ton of human life. and opinions have
undergone a most gratifying change
during those years. There Is no dis
honor in these exchanges of fraternal
amenities, which should 90 on until
the last vestige of intersectional feel
ing has been wiped out The time
must come when there will he no more
trophies" of the victory Of one sec
ton of Americans over another.

Lieutenant William b. Cushing. the
hero Of the torpedoing Of the Abe
marie, was only eighteen years and
five months old when the civil war
began and twenty-five when he per-
formed his famous feat.l
under In a great number of cases
these boys became officers before they
were twenty, some of them even reach
ing the rank Of captain. The methods
of war have so changed that in futu. q
armies there must be a far greater por.
ton of mature men. There must lie a
large number WHO can handle the in
tricate. complex and death dealing ma
chinery and engines Of destruction.
But as far as the civil war was con
eerned the fighting was done by boys
and the phrase boys of 81" Is a lit
eral expression of the truth and not
metaphorical There are still 100000
of them alive.

An English officer viewing the cere-
monies of Memorial day turned to a
Chicago mayor and thus remarked:
Not in all Europe is there cere-
mony so impressive. Here 1t is not
only a beautiful tribute to brave men.
but commemorative of the fact that
the country passed through a great
crisis and was saved, disproving the
worlds assertion that a republic could
not live. The healing Of thai breach
made America immortal, eternal And
the sign Of this Immortality is a rose
bud, tenderly dropped upon a grave"

WISCONSIN GAS A BIRTHDAY

Yesterday, June 18th, was the sixty.
ninth anniversary OF the admission Of
Wisconsin as state. AT the capital
and other places the event was made
the subject of observation and cele.
bration. Probably the most glowing
chapter of the states history is that
connected with the Civil war. for which
Wisconsin furnished 1924 men, OF
whom only 5,097 were drafted. As in
other states the great majority Of
soldiers furnished by Wisconsin were
under p and more than one-third under
l6, The union was literally saved by
boys.
Congress in 1886 created the terri.
tory of Wisconsin, the name being
derived from the principal. The
meaning popularity given is that OF
gathering of the waters. I"
In 1881, 1882, 1884 and 1885 the peo-
lie of the territory voted against adj
mission to the union. Finally, however,
a general sentiment for admission as
a state was created. The final vote
was 1884 for admission and 2,4s7
against.

In a recent public address Prot. c
Z. Norgord, state commissioner Of ag-
riculture, stated that in 1912 a silver
dollar would buy certain amount of
goods. In 1915 the sum of Sl.35 was
required to buy the same amount. In
1917 s2.o7 was required to bu, an
equal quantity that one dollar bought
in 1912. These are reliable figures
and prove that a 1917 dollar is worth
less than half of what it was five
years ago in purchasing value.

WHAT PROSPERITY rs

Prosperity IS d condition of mind.
The world is here, smiling and fer.
tile. The sun shines, the Winds blow,
the waters run, the birds mate, the
flowers bloom.
You can support yourself on two
hours work day. Only that is not
excuse for not working all day Yes,
work eight hours, ten, twelve, four.
teen. And then sound slcep-and
back at IL.
We do not work just to get a living.
We work because we are living a life.
And the extra amount We produce
above existence, goes back into the
channels of trade

All railroads operating in Wiscon-
stu are asking the state railroad com.
mission to order an increase of 10 per
cent in freight rates. 1t is said the
railroads set up that because of war
conditions and other conditions over
which they have no control, the pres
ent rates are inadequate. Ii is under.
stood the commission will set date
for an early hearing and that the en-
tire subject of freight rates will be
gone into. That the railroads are
sufferers by the high cost Of mainte-
nance and operation is unduestioned.
We have seen the statement some.
where that the Chicago & Northwest
ern system alone has had amazingly
increased oper ating expense. Officials
of that road estimate positive increase
for the year 1917 of$50, 5000 Prac-
tically every extensive system in the
country, both east and west, face pre-
cisely the same conditions. The rail-
roads have problem for existence,
like most every commercial interest.

Memorial Day
Sentiment

n CONTINENTS perish, and their
lVI dust is blown upon the broad
bosomed air" but sentiment
lives forever. The magnificent mate
rial of Greece tumbled away, but her
fancies are alive. Strife, battle, bitter
ness, are forgotten: love IS eternal, and
glory lies in the grave Of the valiant.
Yesterday the country was a great
commercial giant, conquering new ter
ritory. Today it is a sentiment scat
tering flowers upon the graves Of its
heroes.
On the sidewalk, viewing the Me
mortal day parade, stands an old WON
an, dim eyed and tottering Her young
heart futters With the thrill Of the
scene, and her poor old mind gropes
back 10 a day years ago. when she saw
her son, glowing. handsome. proud
marching beneath that same Gag. One
tight a neighboE came and, stammer
inl. told her that he had fallen with
the brave, and to her the world was
blotted ont. She heard the shout of
victory as ier heart beat low, and
sorrowing, lead ;ears fell upon her.
and to God she cried for mercy and
for consolation. Today she places a
flower upon the grave of a stranger,
the son of some other poor old woman.
and in her heart she says:
at was well. Our loved ones saved
he country"
No, Of Memorial day you can say
nothing new. But Of eternal truth
and beauty should we expect that any
thing new should be said? We hear
he music, We see the flowers, we in
hale the perfume-we know that the
country is immortal.-opie Read.
