The path from the cradle to the grave is short. Measured in the light of all time, the life of man is but a fIickering flame, a tiny spark, a flash of fire and embers. But that is not all of life. It is but the least note worthy of some Iives-of the lives of those who were truly great. For their earthly careers ended not at the grave. They live on. They live through all the time that follows.
 The sum total of all the world has today of all civilization, all knowledge, all love, all happiness, all understand ing, all the joys. comforts and pleas ures of existence. are the fruits of lives lived before, humans who have gone on, beings who existed. struggled. de- yeloped, drove ahead, and left behind them when they entered the tomb a better world. a happier human family, more desirable existence for their children and their childrens children.
 That is something to remember this DecoratinO Day when the living strew flowers of memory upon the graves of the dead.

urge upon the living mind to remem ber-with Ruskin-
 Men cannot benefit those that are with them as they can benefit those that come after them; and of all the pulpits from which human voice is ever sent forth. there is none from which it reaches so far as from the grave.
 Voices now are heard from the stined lips of those who gave their all that this nation might be a united na- ton of free men.
 The product of their handiwork. a great and free people reaching from ocean to ocean, from Canada's border to the Gulf. this is how the dead of the Civil War speak, and that voice will be heard as long as the United States endures.
 So, too, with those who gave of their life in other wars, and so, too. with those heroic figures of peace who. at the cost of time and effort and even life itself. pressed nation forward and upward.
 Their deeds speak everlastingly.

MUST AVOID FURTHER INITIATION ID BRING LOWER PRICES, CLAIM

NEW YORK, May 3O.-The high cost of living committee of the republican party advisory committee on policies and platforms today announced that a successful attack on high prices must include vigorous avoidance of further imitation in government borrowings, a deflation of credit and contraction of currency, plus public economy and private thrift. Increased production of goods and service and a revision of taxes were mentioned in the commit tees report as necessary to bring prices to lower levels
 Governmental and individual extrav- agance coupled with the 50 per cent depreciation of the dollar, due to the gross expansion of United States cur rency and credits, were named by this committee as being responsible for present prices. Helen Rogers Reid acted as chairman of the committee and Albert Shaw as vice chairman.
 In the report of the immigration com mittee. of which Congressman Fred erick B. Gillett, speaker of the house, is chairman, it was urged that a high mental and physical test be prescribed for immigrants
 While admitting that limitations should be placed upon activities of anarchist foreign citizens the com mittee said it was highly important that procedure under the laws govern ing the limitations should be humane. just and accurate.

 ATLANTA, Ga. May 3O.-Eugene V. Debs accepted today the Socialist nom inatiOn for president of the United States. formally rendered him by a committee from his party.
 The ceremony took place inside the Atlanta federal Denitentiary where Debs is serving a ten-year sentence on conviction of violating the espionage act, and the nominee was clad in the bia1e denim garb of a prisoner. For once, however, prison rules were re- laxed, speeches were made. moving picture men carnked their machines and half a dozen newspapermen jotted down notes on what was said
 Under prison rules Debs could not issue a statement. but he made a brief speech in which he thanked the party for the honor again conferred upon him and expressed his regret that he could do so little personally in the campaign. The Socialist platform adopted recently in New York Debs said states the essential principles of Socialism, but he added that he wished it 'couId have been couched in form to make an appeal more effec- tive to the working classes; that it brought out stronger the appeal of class. that it emphasized the need of industrial organization"
 T have never been afraid of being too radical Debs told his audience, but have of not being radical enough.' He urged that members of the party express their views without fear of consequences.
 Tn another part of his speech he declared his sympathy for the Russian revolution, which he termed the greatest achievement of all times" and continued:
 T regret that the convention did not avow allegiance to the third in- ternationale without any qualification whatever"

 LAW PROTESTED
TRepublican A. p. Leased WIre]

MANILA, P. l., May 29-(Friday)- Divided opinion exists among busi- ness interests here regarding the ap- plication to the Philippines of the coastwise navigation laws of the Unit ed States.
 Three hundred American. business firms and professional men have adopted a resolution approving the ac- ton of charges, while Manual l.. Quezon president of the Philippine senate, has issued a statement declar- ing the application of the laws to the islands kills all chances of Philippine independence"
 The Philippine council of state and the Philippine chamber of commerce, composed of Filipinos, and the Manila chamber of commerce, whose member ship includes many British subjects. passed resolutions against application of the laws to the Philippines. The council of state and Philippine cham Der of commerce also cabfed protests to Washington. Their resolutions said congress- action was detrimental to the trade of the islands.
 The Manila Merchants association, in which American members were said to be dominant, repudiated the sigma ture of the association to one of the cablegrans of protest. They said the cablegram had been signed by the sec retary of the association without au- 
 All English language newspapers in Manila print editorials favoring exten- sion of the coastwise laws to the Phil ippines as provided in the merchant marine bill.
 Tt is easy enough to say we will be ruined" the Manila Daily Bulletin said,
 If the proposed legislation is passed, but we have seen no arguments sup ported with facts and figures to prove that point"
 Which will be the more profitable for the future development of the Philippines the Times asks. "Econo- mic control by the United States which make the Philippines what they are, or economic control by foreign in- terests, which seek only to extend their own commercial advantage. The argu- ment that extension of the coastwise shipping laws to the Philippines would throttle competition and increase freight rates will not hold water
 If the bill becomes law" the Cable News American editoriaIized "Presi- dent of the Senate Quezon would use his influence to suspend improvements and extensions of the port of Manila We believe final action by congress should be awaited before threats are made and cabled to the United States

THEY WHO HAVE GONE

The heroes who died on the battle fields of France were not silenced by the German bullets. Nor by the shrouds, nor by the heap of blood stained earth, nor by the time that has passed by since they fell that the world might be a better place in which to live. Their voices crying for freedom of mankind, freedom from militarism, from war, from hated autocraey, are heard this day, heard here across the wide bosom of the ocean, across thou sands of miles of land. They are heard in heated tropic and the frigid polar home of man. They will never be silenced.
 On no other day is this thought so ardently impressed upon ethe living mind as upon the Decoration Day. when the grateful benefactors of the heroic dead pay tribute to their mem ory. Then, indeed. do the living come to a full realization of the voice speak ing from the graves Over There. speaking distinctly and earnestly the words of liberty, of civilizations su- preme need. of human progress
