Champaign illinois.

Champaign, Ill. Feb. 9, 1918,
1t strikes me that the best
memorial to the boys who went
into the service from Adair Coun-
ty during the war would be a
modern Y. M. C.. A. building.
To them the dead can best be hon.
ored by serving the living, and
in my judgment no better SER
vice could be rendered the young
men of Adair County by the
erection of a modern Y. M. C..
A. plant, completely equipped
with all the facilities that minis
ter to the physical, intellectual
and moral natures of the young
men of the county.
The army Y. M. G. A. was a
great factor in sustaining the
morale of the boys in the ser
vice. In camps in this country,
and overseas, the organization
did a great work in assisting in
winning the war. We fail to
realize the greatness of the work
that this organization did until
we learn that there were 1907
buildings and $500 secreteries
in the Y, M. G. A. service All
Organizations served splendidly,
but the great burden Of the work
fell upon the Y. NJ. C. A
If the Y. M. C. A. was needed
in sustaining the morale in war
time, is not it more important
still to have some force that will
sustain the morale of the young
men in peace time? There is moi
the excitement nor the discipline
to keep the young manhood al
lbs best as in war time.
There should be some influences
that will spur the ambition of th'
young men, to stimulate them t.
their best endeavors. and tina
influence seems peculiarly t,

The hospitable home of Mrs Joe
Rosenfield was the scene of a social
gathering on last Friday evening
rarely equaled in Columbia. The fine
old mansion was beautifully decorated
with roses, and a course dinner at six

beauty and charm, assisted her moth

MORE COMMENT
AS To CEMETERY
Two Letters Published Today
Show Sentiment of the
People

Interest in the proposition that the
city buy Alpine cemetery and manage
1t for the benefit of all the people, in
Guiding every sect n religious belief,
continues to grow. A letter Is pub
iished today from Samuel Garretson,
secretary of the cemetery association.
setting right I'M misunderstanding
that might arise as to the profits of
the stockholders of the association In
the past. Another letter received rails
es the religious question.
An important fact in connection
with the proposed purchase was
brought out today by one of the city
officials. He said the cemetery asso-
citation has not yet paid its assessment
on the street paving of Amboy ave-
nue.. This assessment, with interest,
it is declared, will now amount to owe
$4,000. Should the city buy the GEM
etery this assessment would have to
be cancelled which would be the same
as adding 1t to the purchase price. At
a cost of SIS, 900 and with this loss
of $4,000 assessment, the price would
be somewhere about $4,000. The ac-
tual cash outlaw. however, would be
$4,000 and the income from the sale
of lots could be depended upon to
meet the expense OF maintaining the
place in first class condition.

Greeks . There is also st. Peters and
the Jews Hence there cannot any
one cemetery for the uese of the pub
lie at large any more than there car
be one church for public use.
Catholic burial is part and parcel of
worship and no Catholic
would even dream of burying his dead
In other than a Catholic cemeIr y. 1
believe the Jews have similar ideas
as regards their burial places. Thus
1t can be seen hat the cemetery in
question could not be used for the
people as a whole, nor for one-half of
them, and yet the scheme to purchase
would mean that they would have to
pay the piper just the same.
The war being over. 1 ask your in
diligence for space: l believe a. ev-
cry right thinking man believes. that
we should not for various reasons ac-
quire this cemetery. / believe we
have no legal right to do SO. I be-
lieve its purchase would stir up a
spirit of religious intolerance among
our people and thus cause d~issension
that would be very harmful. Even as
a paying proposition / say, keep off.
OF course, I would lige to see the AL
pine cemetery beautified, but we can
not expect the public at large to pay
the bill, when as stated. at least fifty
per cent of the said public could make
mo use of it whatsoever.
You say its purchase would be a
paying investment. Similar claims
claims were made regarding the mu-
nicipal lighting plant, the Marine
graveyard, so-called parks, docks,
etc. The taxes have been soaring
right along and I fail to see any ac-
count of dividends being turned in
from above stated sources.
Now, to conclude, 1 wish to Nsay that
I am neither a sorehead nor a knocker
and I am sure. Mr.. Editor. thai both
you and the people will agree with
my views. We cannot purchase some
thing and classify 1t as a public utility
when one-half of the people could not
make use of 1t IL they would. and
would not use it If they could.
Cemeteries are part of church wor-
ship and while the Alpine cemetery is
a private corporation, 1t Is solly up
to those interested to settle the ques-
ton. 1t is not a public affair.

solve the great problem that will soon
confront them due to the already linn

terry.
Other sections could be set apart for
the Jews, to be treated in accordance
with their religious rites. Thus the
cemetery could be used by all and be
a rea municipal burying ground. If
II were actually as claimed in the let
ter published today that fifty per cent
of the population could not use the

city. the EVENING NEWS would not
favor the proposition at all.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

ILL =
I have read with interest the arti-
cles which appeared in your paper
relative to the purchase by the city
of Perth Amboy, N. j., of the Alpine
cemetery. In your article n edito-
rails It would seem that you are anx-
ious to get the sentiment of the peo-
pie on the subject matter in question,
viz: The taking over by the city Of
the cemetery as public experiment.
Now while I am at all times inclined
to favor public Improvements. | fail
to see any good reason why the people
of Perth Amboy should make the pur-
chase or otherwise dea in cemetery
stock. First of all, Is there n law
on our statute books which would give
the city the right to purchase and
beautify the cemetery at h expense
of the public at large when. as must
be well known to you, Mr.. Editor,
over one-half of the population of the
city would derive no benefits from the
proposed project whatsoever. / have
thus far been unable to discover such
a law on our statute books, and even
II there is such a law, an action in
equity would set II aside on the
ground of unjust discrimination.
In this city we have several cemete-
ries, the Catholics alone have at least
four, not taking count of the

Alfred Roscoe Williams, second son

they assisted their father in carrying

These brothers have been more
than brothers, they have been chums
and constant companions and such
devotion as they had for each other is
very rare among brothers. They were
