RESIDENT OFFICIALS
M1RRoRETTEs

Memorial day will be observed at this
institution on Monday, the 31st.
The vacation period has arrived and
employees are beginning to take their
annual" outing.
Freight cars have been received in
goodly numbers lately. The shipping of
Irvine and machinery is progressing.
AT the Sunday services we were again
treated to some unusually good singing
by the Minneapolis Bethlehem chorus with
Mr.. Carl Thorpe as director. The entire
inmate body appreciate these splendid adj
ditions to the regular services which
Chaplain Benson so often presents.
There are many delegations of chill
dren going through this institution these
days. They are from the high and graded
schools in this immediate district, both in
Minnesota and Wisconsin. They are al
ways accompanied by the teachers and
show great interest in the manufacturing
departments.
The Hudson and Saltwater ball
teams played on the Saltwater diamond
Sunday. Hudson losing 0 to 1. Oden-
wald, the 10 years old pitching phenom,
worked for Hudson, getting IS strike
outs but losing the game. This is the
same "ki1' that defeated the M. S. P.
team the 10th, getting credit for 10 strike
outs. He starts Saturday for his tryout
with the Cleveland Nationals.
"A body of Minneapolis business men
and women, one thousand strong, who
were in Saltwater to witness the launch
ing of the last of six government steel
barges, were conducted through this insti-
tuition last Friday afternoon. Sixteen
special street cars, and large number
of automobiles were used on the trip from
the city. After the prison sightseeing
trip, they gathered in the yard adjacent
to our splendid baseball diamond where
they witnessed ball game between the
prison team and the Saltwater High
School team, which resulted in to 1
victory for the visitors. After the ball
game 9O4 persons sat down to luncheon
in the inmates dining room. After the
luncheon everyone adjourned to the audi
torium where community sing was held
under able leadership. We cannot over
look our band in this writeup. They
made their first appearance of the season
in their natty, khaki suits and added much
to the enjoyment of the visitors with
fine musical program.

MEMORIAL DAY


That tells the morning day
Of our loved land
Behold, from shore to shore,
Our nations colors lower
For him who sleeps
For him, of loyal heart,
Who faithful bore his part,
A nation-sleeps!
All, well, we'll, may we mourn
Our liberties were born
Of sacrifice
Of hope, of love, of life
Through mortal, deadly strife,
Come victories!
Mourn for the soldier dead,
Bend DER his lowly bed,
Scatter bright flowers;
Flowers fresh with dews of morn,
Flowers of the sunshine born
And springtime's showers.
weep Tor the heroes dead,
But be we comforted-
In brave deeds, they live.
That to the patriots name,
Tho all unknown to fame
A rich luster give!
Honor the soldiers grave,
On mount-in ocean cave
And whate'er the hue
That shrouds tn hero form,
The heart, beneath, was warm,
Each to his cause was true.
And whether won, or lost,
And whether wrong or just
TIL hand fraternal press
Ger the chasm wide and deep,
Side by side, o, let them sleep
In peacefulness!
Alike, for the Blue and Gray,
Bring then, bright flowers, today
For each, tn, chaplet weave
For him, who won or lost,
Whose cause was wrong or just,
TIL bright pure emblems, leave.
-Author Unknosvn.
You who have died for the flag,
You, who have fought for it we'll,
You, of whose valor, we brag,
Heroes, whose glory we tell,
Is it enough to repay
You for the blood that you shed,
That on your green graves today
Banners and roses we spread?
Is it for this that You died,
Merely to live once year?
To have us come back in our pride
And give you rose or tear3
Was it for this that you fought,
Is this the glory you crave,
Living on earth but in thought,
Having a flag on your grave.
Could we not honor you more,
Tell us, oh soldiers, long dead,
living the principles for
Which your blood freely you shed?
Could we not better repay
You for the struggle you made
BY sacredly guarding today
The standards you battled to aid?
s this the debt that we owe,
Merely to come to your graves
And make of our gratitude show?
Surely the banner that waves
renderly DER you today
More than our sentiment needs;
f you could ask us to pay
Would it be roses, or deeds?
What is our duty to you?
Are we not bound to be strong?
Bound to be steadfast and true,
Brave in the presence of wrong?
Though we may come with our flowers 5
Would you not rather have weeds,
Than have your country and ours
Look to US vainly for deeds?

WHY ROB THE GRAVE?

The booze issue in the United States
is dead. II has been buried. There
is less chance Of bringing back the era
Of rum than Of substituting the OK
cart for the automobile.
For years and years the people Of
this land debated the liquor problem.
Every side Of it was argued over and
up and down. Slowly but surely the
wave Of popular opinion swept it out
Of legal existence in this country
Whisky died hard, it is true, but it
died.
It seems difficult for few to realize
that John Bar!eycorr has passed
away-FOREVER. They couldn't
persuade themselves that he was dead
last July when they saw him in his
coffin. And now they profess to be-
lieve the old rum sodden drink habit is
turning over in his grave, anxious to
be dug up and restored to command of
the army of liquor drinkers. But it is
all mistake. The saloon is thing Of
the past in America. The drunkard is
done. Demon Rum is a political issue
in the United States just as slavery is
an issue; as the purchase of Louisiana
is; the Stamp Acts of George III are!
The sooner Governor Edwards of
New Jersey and the few "wet" leaders
interested in his berry candidacy, rea-
lie that the sooner they can turn their
attention and efforts to solving some
Of the real live issues now confronting

column. Every one Of then, is real
republican who, If elected, will see to
it that beginning at least is made
to place the state where it rightfully
belongs-in the republican column in
stead of in the socialist column. The
farmers Of this state are not socialists
hy any means. and most Of them have
been mislead by the wiles Of the radi-
Gals who have pulled the wool over
their eyes to such an extent that they
have stolen the republican party ond
turned it into a socialist party. They
are trying it again this spring. Are
you going to let them do it?
The women's league Of voters or
whatever it is called, says if the sui.
|frage amendment does not carry it will
be laid at the doors. Of the republican
party Just how these women get that
way is funny. Every state that has
refused to ratify, if the list as given
in the dispatches is correct, is a demo-
cratic state, and six out Of the nine
states left to, act on the amendment
are democratic states so why do they
blame the republican party. 1t was
the republican party that made it pos
sible to pass the amendment through
the United States senate after the
democrats had refused to do so, and
it will be the republican party that
will make it possible for the women
of the country to have the vote. The
following very interesting telegram in
today's morning papers tells how the
republican party is doing it's best to

Chicago, March S.--An airplane
flight from Chicago to Cincinnati
tomorrow was arranged today for
State Senator Jesse A Bloch OF
managers in a race on which may

depend the ratification of the fed
eraI woman suffrage amendment by
West Virginia.
The state senate is deadlocHed on
ratification. Senator Bloch, who has
been in California, is known to be
for ratification. If the senator can
reach Charleston by Wednesday
suffrage leaders believe West Vir-
GINA will ratify the amendment.
Senator Bloch is due in Chicago
tomorrow morning on his way to
Charleston. The senator must be in
Cincinnati by 7 o'clock tomorrow
night to catch train that would
take him to Charleston in time to
cast his vote. Only special train or
an airplane would make the connec-
ton.
Will H Hays, republican national
chairman, made arrangements for
both agencies. There will he an air
plane waiting for Senator Bloch
when he arrives, and if he refuses to
make the four-hour dash in the air
he will be taken to Cincinnati by
special train.
Senator Bloch's friends predicted
that he would choose the air route.

The time has come when the voters
CT the state must realize that it need
ed better citizenship, better men in
charge Of the state government than
those we now have. The program of
the league as originally planned was
absolutely good and no one questioned
it at all, until that noted House Bill
"a made its appearance in the legisla-
ture and the constitution was thrown
out of the window at Bismarck and a
new one of the socialistic order put in
effect in its place. In other words
radicals and socialists of the worst
type have gotten control of the state
government and have put the state
con the bum" by their coarse work
and extravaganza. Taxes have been
boosted out of sight, positions unnec-
essary have been created without num-
Der and more coming all the time and
now the credit Of the state has been
impaired 50 that capital is being with
drawn and you can't sell state bonds

ton today and it is about time that the
voters of the state woke up and made
a resolution to shake of state social !
ism and redeem the state from the bad |
odiun1 ti4at is now attached to it. |
The way to get at that is to support
