OF Veterans of '61 mingling with those
of '9S, and the men of '1S consisting
of the troops from Fort Logan, pre-
sented a spectacle that impressed the
public of the Importance of Memorial
Day and the solemnity that ought to
be attached to it.
A platoon of mounted police and
marshals of the Civil and Spanish
War Veterans led the parade, followed
by the Military Band and National
guardsmen. Then came the Welsh
Band, Spanish American War Veter-
ans under the command of Walter
Vernell. Veterans of the Indian and
foreign wars were in line, followed by
automobiles draped with the flags OF

LENA, BELOVED DAUGHTER OF
MR.. AND MRS. WILLIAMS
BARNES, PASSES AWAY.

Miss Lena Barnes, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Barnes of 293S
Glenarm place, and one of the mem
bers of the younger social set of our
city, passed from this life last Tues
day, to the astonishment of her
many friends, after an illness of a
comparatively short time. She was
very popular and was a member of
the Order of Eastern Star, No. SO,
as well as many other organizations,
being also a member of Shorter
church. Her parents, who are well
known and highly respected in the
community, are residents of Denver
for many years, her father being a
Spanish war veteran, and member
of fraternal societies. Funeral serv-
ices will be held tomorrow, 2 p. M,
from Shorter church. under the aus
pices of Evergreen Chapter, Order of
Eastern Star and interment at Fair
mount cemetery, directed by the
Douglass Undertaking Co.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
mother, father and four brothers,
and a host of friends who greatly la
ment her death. THE COLORADO
STATESMAN offers it's deepest SYM
pathy to the bereaved family in this
hour of trial, commencing them to
the consolation of Him Who gives
and Him Who takes. May her soul
rest in peace.

HOME GARDENS OFFER GREAT
HELP.

In our tramp, tramp thru the city
last Sunday we came in contact with
some of the most beautiful home
gardens it has ever been our pleas
ant experience to view. Far out in
South Denver we. observed the gar
dens of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T. Ham
mond, 1925 South Lincoln, and Mr..
and Mrs. Clark, Ills South Logan,
both of which lent such charming
aspect that the eye could not refrain
from feasting thereon. Then leav-
ing this point and traversing the
intersections we came upon Robt.
Grigsby's specially cultivated garden
in Harmon, thence to the eastern
end of the city, where Mr.. and Mrs.
R. L. Norman of 305S High street
wondered us with spectacle of
floral and vegetable objects of cul-
ture, which we think among the fin
est in the city. Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L..
Burnett of 3412 Columbine street
and Mr.. and Mrs. D. j. Stubbs of
2910 Downing avenue are among the
possessors of specially attractive
gardens. These and many others
of our people must be con-
graduated on their efforts which
were, prior to the war, having been
an annual engagement of theirs for
several years.
1t would be a good idea for some
of our city officials to visit some of
these residences in making their
rounds and get the proof of the
ability of our people to produce the
best and most that MOTHER
EARTH can yield, even in small
areas. Deserving of commendation
they are and we trust the apprecia-
ton of the community of the eff
forts of our people will give them
the inspiration to continue their
good work.

STATESMAN-a living evidence of
the gilt-edge security in this bank and
the safeguarding of investments of de-
positors, after an experience of 35
years of continuous business transac-
tion with them, is specially glad to
recommend to its large circle of sub
scribers and readers an institution
whose motto is that of the people
SAFETY FIRST''-as through storm

ness, the interest of the public comes
first and receives their immediate at

ness men of our race can certify to the
promptness, regular business attitude
and civility of the officers and clerks
of this bank, and the prestige estab-
lished in the West and other parts of
this country is a proof of the real
foundation and fundamental princi-
pie upon which it is constructed and
guided. This Savings Deposit De-

appreciation by the patronage of a
large number of our people, and the
mutual interests resulting from having
a practical proof of the substantial

REPUBLICAN STATE ASSEMBLY.

THE call from headquarters of the
Republican State Central Committee
for delegates to the Assembly to be
held at Colorado Springs, Colo, on
Tuesday, July 18th, 1918, is issued,
when the purpose of placing in NOM
ination candidates for the various Of
fices to be voted upon at the Primary
election, Tuesday, September 10th,
1918, will be carried out. All Repub-
lican electors of the state, and all 9th
er electors without regard to past po-
litical affiliations who believe in the
principles of the Republican party and
endorse it's policies, are cordially in
vited to participate in the selection of
delegates to said Assembly. This an
nouncement coming from John f. Wv
ian, chairman of the committee, is
welcomed at this time, as Republicans
are bent on systematic work as well
as the kind of team work that counts
and stands for what will bring unani-
nous action and solidarity in the par
ty. But a word here to those who are
qualified to select delegates to repre-
sent them at the Assembly would not
be out of tune with the situation, and
if we endeavor to select the best men
for this event of July 10th, it seems
to follow that they in turn will select
the best for the primaries. mo favor
itesl' should be the slogan, but
only MERIT, PURE MERIT, should
be the standard This is the position
of the COLORADO STATESMAN.

DENVER TRAMWAY COMPANY
DETERMINES TO DELIGHT PUBLIC

TN their endeavors to cater to the
Denver public by insuring the COM
fort and safe travelling of those
who are not fortunate to have their
private means of conveyance, the Den
yer Tramway Company having COM
pleted the loop at the Union depot,
equipped its cars with the latest of
everything to the convenience of the
passenger opening central entrances
on the Seventeenth street cars, and
other things, the statement is verified
that no expense is spared in the COM
pany doing it's best at all times and
under all circumstances, whether fav-
orable or unfavorable.
General Manager F. w. Hid and j.
C. Davidson, publicity agent, have
been untiring in their efforts to please
and with the constant attention to pa
irons and the immediate action of
taking care of all complaints, an eff
cient service is being built up second
TO none in the country. The public
therefore in the performance of their
duty will furnish a satisfactory re-
sponse to the appeal that is being
made to them, and the adjustment of
the matter at issue ought to be taken
by both sides as the best to be done
under present conditions. The people
of Denver are not blind to justice and
fair play, and it is hoped that every
reasonable allowance between them
and the Tramway Company will be en-
tered into, proving our willingness to
reason and be reasoned with. The eX-
tension of our lines and other physical
improvements will most surely receive
the commendation deserved. Remem-
ber, we cannot afford the loss of the
POOR MANS AUTOMOBILE. 1t is
too dear to us.
