Bringing Back the Dead.


During the next few months trans
ports will be steaming across the At
iantie Ocean bringing to our shores
from the battlefields Of France the
bodies of our dead. There has been
much debate and hesitation at Wash
inston whether those precious relics of
our share in the war should be left
where the brave gave up their lives, or
whether they should be returned and
laid TO rest in their native soil. At
one time il seems to have been deter
mined that memorial stones in our
cemeteries should bear no other in
Scrtpton than the beautiful words
He sleeps in France"
But the later decision Is better.
Even the French have formally deter,
mined that their own dead shall not be
left to lie beneath the sod of the
devastated battle grounds. but that all
shall be returned to cemeteries in their
native villages. II would not be seem
ly for this country to neglect so
obvious a duty as that of restoring TO
parents, to wives, to children, the dust
of their heroes.
II viii be a sad and solemn oc-
casion, the homecoming of the heroic
dead. Ii should be observed with n
dignihed ceremony, in which every
community should join to honor the
men who sacrificed themselves for a
great ideal, and thereby to honor the
ideal itself: the cause for which they
laid down their lives. That idea;
was better world for them and for us
to live in. Shall their sacrifice be
futile? Shall we not rather consecrate
ourselves anew TO the vision for which
they died?
The occasion will undoubtedly lead
many to suggest that now is the time
to raise memorials, TO remind those
who come after us Of the part our men
took in the great enterprise. The idea
is worthy, if only it be worthily car
ried out But unless it be artistic,
such memorial, however pathetic .hc
testimony it may bear to the affection
of those who raise it, is sure TO excite
emotions quite other than admiration
in those who behold it. The French
government has wisely decrecd frat no
war memorial shall be erected in that
country until ten years have passed Il,
Would be we'll for us to show the same
restraint.
The best memorial of our dead is
that which we cherish in our hearts.
Yet how soon we forget! Not those
who were personally bereaved they
never forget; but we to whom rhe
losses were only incidents that we read
of in the news or heard by word of
mouth-how quickly the cares of life
drive out of mind the memory of what
/ the dead tried to do for us!
When the transports arrive with
their precious burden and the solemn
rites of refinement are performed, let
us renew for time at least the aspira-
tons that we cherished while our SOL
diers stood for us at Chateau Thicrry
and on other bloody fields of France

Ii is a violation of the corrupt prac-

his opponents is an atheist, opposed to
the Bible and accustomed to sneer
at its teachings. Because the trial
court has so construed the law, Con-
gresham A. ]. Volstead will again be
the Republican candidate in the sew
enth Minnesota district. Rev. A. J.
Kvale, who defeated him at the pri-
mary recently, will not get his name
on the Republican ticket at the cleo
ton.
Volstead wasnotdefeated because his
name appeared on the prohbitory en-
forcement law, it is declared by those
informed OF conditions in the district
Rev. kvale was as dry as Volstead, and
has been for many years, which facts
were well-known. Volstead, in his
contest, claimed his opponent had de-
liberately circulated the story that he,
Volstead, was an atheist, a disbeliever
who hooted the Bible and had made
repeated sneering remarks about a
sermon by Rev. Kvale that was preach
ed upon the parade OF the loaves and
fishes. When the facts were before
the court the LEANED judge declared
the stories had been circulated by the
preacher, that such actions constituted
serious and deliberate violation Of
the corrupt practices act, and victory
won by such fighting could not be per-
mitted to stand. There was a tincture
of~the Non-Partisan League in the
fight, Rev. Kvale having had the ap-
prevail Of that organization in the pri-
mary.
