Roosevelt on "Memorials. %

Following is reproduction Of a
letter written by Theodore Roosevelt
to his friend, DR.. Curtis. It is well
worth perusal:
II wish to back you up as strongly
as know how in your effort to build
memorial hospital for good works
as protest against the erection of
meaningless mausoleums and monu-
ments to the dead. There is an oc-
casional great public servant to whom
it is we'll to raise monument really
not for the man himself but for what
he typifed. A monument to Lincoln
or Farragut is really great symbolic
statue to commemorate such qualities

in plenary session without a dissent
ing voice. Sir James Eric Drummond
Of Great Britain was selected for sec
rotary general and provision was made
for committee to- inaugurate the
league.
The French and Japanese amend
ments, after a brief, discussion, were
not pressed, and the way thus cleared
for unanimous acceptance of the
league.
Italy was not represented at the ses-
sion, but its name appears as one of
the members of the league in the
covenant as finally adopted.

Do Your Share of This Work.

Do Your Share of This Work.
The Civic Betterment club is calling
for volunteers to work in the cemetery
next Tuesday evening, May 6.
With the aid of this volunteer work
the cemetery can be prepared for
Memorial day with little expense and
the money being paid in will then be
sufficient to keep man employed
for the upkeep of the cemetery until
late in the season. This plan was
tried last year and met with great
success.
It is hoped that everyone who can
will turn out that evening armed with
his rake. Should that evening prove
stormy the work will be done on the
following evening.

Trophies Property of. Governme

Trophies Property of Government.
All war material captured from the
enemy is the property of the United
States government and not of the in
dividual soldier of the organization
making the capture, the war depart
ment has held in replying to hundreds
of inquiries from states, counties and
municipalities as to the disposition of
war trophies.
But why does the government want
this property-to sell it to the junk
man or store it away to rust and rot?

as valor and patriotism and love Of
mankind, and a willingness to sacri-
flee everything for the right. There
are very few men in a generation who
have the character or the widespread
reputation which makes monument
to them signify all these things.
"As to the rest of us who, with
failures and shortcomings, but accord
ing to our lights, have striven to lead
decent lives; if any friends of ours
wish to commemorate US after death,
the way to do it is by some expression
of good deeds to those who are still
living. Surely dead man or woman
who is good man or woman would
wish to feel that his or her taking
away had become an occasion of real
service for the betterment of mankind.
rather than to feel that meaningless
pile of stone, no matter how beautiful,
had been erected with his or her name
upon it in an enclosure crowded with
similar piles Of stone-for such a
tomb or mausoleum often bears chief
reference not to the worth, but to the
wealth of the one who is dead. No
better form of monument can be
imagined than such hospital as that
of which you speak, where the wards,
the clinics, the operating rooms, the
endowed beds and the like will bear
names suggested by the donors.
"You and I have known of many
cases where good, but by no means
especially distinguished, men Of great
wealth have, when dead, been com
nemorated by mausoleums or tombs
costing in some cases 100000. Those
that loved them needed no such maus-
oleum as an aid to memory. To the
immense multitude who did not know
them the mausoleum meant absolutely
nothing, and could mean absolutely
nothing. To the many suffering souls
whom the money would have helped
if it had been wisely and benefcently
used, the mausoleum represented a
loss exactly as great as if it had sunk
in the ocean.
The Society of Friends use only
plain stone slabs to commemorate the
dead. Surely this is good custom.
Surely it is not well that there should
be after death great monuments erect
ed by the family of the dead, testi-
flying really not to the good deeds, but
to the wealth Of the dead. Surely if
the dead man or woman is of such
character as to warrant a memorial,
then that kind of memorial most
grateful to his or her spirit will take
the form Of doing good to the living
whose need is urgent

OWN YOUR OWN HOME
CAMPAIGN GROWS BIG
Tenants Who Count Costs Take New
Interest In the Own Your Own
Homo Campatgn.

After the strain and stress OF move
ing day. many persons have a new
interest in the Nationwide Own Your
own Home campaign, according to
letters received by the United States
Department of Labor. which is now
cooperating with building committees
in every state in the Union. This
year the annual season OF change
presented more difficulties than ever
| before. because of the shortage OF
houses and apartments and the con-
sequent rise in rentals.
In normal times removals have
proved costly because Of the newt
able furniture additions, repairs. and
read -justments, but this year ex-
penses have proved so great that
householders have been forced to face
facts that are not soothing to persons
with sound economic views. In the
first place, the mere price Of hauling
and handling furniture has doubled in
many places. The rise in wages has
made all the numerous little odd Jobs
astonishingly high when the aggre-
gate OF amounts paid out is computed.
All the extras that every family must
order in the way of carpenter work,
wiring, and other necessa ries for com
tort have proved to be extravagant
luxurtes. And when It came to the

prohibitive IL added to the incidentals
