COUNTRY DOES Nor FORGET

NOUNTKY DOES nut TOKGEI
Memorial day is the answer to the
charge that republics are migrate
full" Our country does not forget
its soldiers. In marble and bronze
their resting places are marked. The
resources of our speech have been
taxed in commemorating their deeds.
On the 30th of May the sweetest of
flowers are laid upon their grave
mounds in token at once of patriotic
devotion and of Immortality. The
most striking part of this annual re-
membrance of our old soldiers-the
thin blue line moving with tottering
step toward the sacred dust of their
comrades. The old flags, torn with
shot and stained with powder, recall
without bitterness the past and revive
recollections without rancor.
On sea and land fall flowers of
tender and patriotic affection for the
men of the navy and army.
1t is we'll to remember what these
heroes did. We honor principles when
we respect men, for principles are
men in the abstract. A dispassionate
Interpretation of the causes and con-
sequences of the war will be a tribute
to the dead, and a contribution to the
living. The men who made up the
rank and file of our armies, the mill
tary leaders and the statesmen who
directed the movement through the
fogs and smoke of war are recalled
in the solemn memories of the day.

Where was once their villages now
stand mighty cities; along the trail
where he once chased the deer through
the forest is now railroad; passing
between the well-tilled fields, where
once he caught the fish in ripping
streams, now comes the hum of fac
tory and mill, erected, operated and
maintained by the skill and ingenuity
of the learned white man. Along
the river where his canoe once foated
silently, monstrous steamboats, are
churning water into foam. The race
of whole people is run. Only few
specimens are left to tell the sad story.
They will soon hear the roar of the
last wave; they will soon see the last
ray of sunshine; the angel of death
will soon kiss his eyelids down, to be
still forever.
Yet they will live in the memory of
the reading world; their voices and
their virtues will be told in song and
story until the final ending of time,
for the names they gave still cling
like vague epitaphs to many of our
lakes, rivers and mountains, and even
to our political divisions, cities and
towns, but they are gone.
Will the change ever come to us
as a people as it came to those whom
we have supplanted? We do not
know.
We believe in spite of the rise and
fall of other nations, that we are on
solid foundation. IT'S true, Mighty
Rome fell, though it took her 800
years to die.
Other nations have been born and
passed into obscurity. Kingdoms have
been rent, palaces have been destroyed,
and all this, too, because poor man has
fallen. America, discovered AT years
ago, has done more for civilization
than any other country in the world.
From the little corners comprizing
the thirteen original States in l776,

During the Civil war Mount Yer
non was by spontaneous consent of
those on both sides of the great contest
the only neutral ground in the coun-
try. Soldiers were requested to leave
their arms outside the gates, which
they did, and men in blue and men in
gray met fraternally before the tomb
of the father of their divided country.

ONE DAY For HEROES

All our soldiers are honored by the
whole American nation at this time
by the followed practice of Memorial
day those who have offered their lives
for their country in previous wars

dler-defender' as the embodl- ~
and country, comes to the front today
as one thought, one image. The man,
after all We build our ships; we
forge upon a thousand anvils the new
and terrible engines of war; we ac-
cumulate materials; we exhaust the
ingenuity of our nation in devising
subtle mechanical defenses against the
creeping menace of the submarine we
silence the laws of peace in order that
the president may command every re-
source of labor and of food we seem
to confess that war has passed into
the realm of material forces; but in
the midst of all this, summoned to
another order of thought by the re-
turn of this wonderful holiday of the
bivouac of the dead, we realize once
more that the man, with his heart
of love and devotion, is above all.
"Vain mightiest fleets of iron framed,
Vain those all-shattering guns,
Unless proud England keep untamed
The strong heart of her sons"
1t is the patriotism and the honor
of men, after all, against the base de-
vices of men, that is the dependence
of freedom. Today, tomorrow, in
our memories, the hero of the past
the soldier who fought the ambushed
Indian, who stood at Bunker Hill or
perished in cold and hunger at Valley
Forge that America might be indie
pendent, the man who died to "keep
the Union whole and then the
hero of today, who offered himself
in a cause every whit as great as
that of independence or of union.
Heroes past, heroism achieved ; heroes
to come, heroism which shall be in
scribed on the pages of history now
written in iron and blood. We
decorate graves long watered by our
tears, and we decorate unmade graves,
graves yet unknown, of men un-
known.
We have many and great things to
think of; and in the hours of tender
remembrance and of exalted antici-
patton it will do us good to call to
mind that Memorial day summons
Americans to closer union than they
have ever felt before. The emotions
of this day wipe out forever all sec
tional, all historical differences. They
blend all our local sentiments into
one grand passion of patriotism.
Henceforth there should be but one
Memorial day in America, North and
South-one beautiful day in May
when all our heroes shall be remem-
bered, all our souvenirs recalled, in
the interest of one and one only love
of country. Henceforth there should
be no Union Memorial day and no
Confederate Memorial day, no day
of the North and another of the
South, but Americas day and Free
dom's day.

~ seemingly have a claim over
the lives of people, some lifting
them to that of higher aspirations of
life, some marking the anniversary
when they started in some adventure,
either that of life, business or educa-
ton, and still others causing us to
pause and be carried into the past.
What beautiful and apparently
appropriate time of the year, is this
month of May, to be chosen by our
American people, when we could all
meet regardless of race, color, or re-
ligous creeds and drop some token of
remembrance in behalf of our trans
lated soldiers. We say soldiers be-
cause all who have contributed to the
upbuilding of our magnificent country
and have been translated to the
realms beyond have been soldiers
whether they had to undergo the
trials and hardships of the battle field,
or have been lost in the great warfare
of humanity in its survival and ad-
vancement of its race.
We speak of the heroes of '76, of
1912, of '48 and "a also of the later
war in '98 and of the magnificent and
glorious men that perished in the
great world war: yes we speak of
them many times as though they were
gone and soon would be effaced from
the books of memory except on special
occasions, but listen my boy, those
fallen heroes while passed from our
sight, are still living in the structure
of our beautiful and comfortable
American homes, living in the success
of our business enterprises, living in
our school system that gives America
her prestige throughout the world.
Would it not be we'll to see if we can
not realize that many have passed on
but that their influence still stands
like friendly shadows to protect us
from wrong, shield from danger and
be an inspirational power to strive for
better things, that means a purer life
and a more healthful generation of
men!
Listen not so much for the tread of
the army of the past but turn with
that of a rising sun that shall shine
upon an American life that will have
better improvements, easier facilities
of trade and communication; will
have more genial social circle be-
cause these men have lived, wrought
and passed on to the great beyond.
1t is splendid thing to be able to
drop the flower upon the resting place
of our comrades in life and with it
that tear of love that willingly flows
to bear tribute, that our affections
are not all on things that are earthly;
but how good it is to be able to look
our country in the face and say the
work of these fallen heroes shall con-
tinue as long as we continue our So
journ here and then we will endeavor
to pass the work on to our posterity
and fellow creature.
Remembering the sacrifices of our
forefathers and former associates let
us go forth with renewed anu vigor-
Gus determination, that something
more shall be accomplished by our
good deeds, because these loved ones
and heroes have passed before.

ite Recipe Of Sage Tea
and SULPHUR

Almost everyone know that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trou-
blesome. Nowaways, by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark. glossy and
attractive.

M0(ULS
HOLD MEETING TO
SELECT CmEFTAIN
National Commission to Have
Conference With Minor
League Heads
(By United Press.)

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 10. - Baseball
doctors will put their fingers on the
pulse of the sport and diagnose some
of the ills of the national pastime at
a series of important conferences
starting here today.
Future of the diamond game de-
pends to some extent upon the re-
suits of pow-wows between the major
leagues, in individual and joint ses-
sions, meeting of the national COM
mission and a conference with the
minors.
Free of internal strife, the Ma
tional league magnates have nothing
on their schedule that promises red
headlines for the sport pages. There
may be some differences on the award
of "plum dates" on the 1920 sched-
ule and they may not be unanimous
in choice for a new commission
chairman but President John Heyd-
ler is confident of being able to steer
his bark around any threatening
rocks.
Smells of Brimstone.
Of late, any American league meet
ing smells of birthstone. The two
factions-the faithful FIVE" of Ban
johnson and the "rebellious three"
probably will toe the mark with huge
chips on each shoulder.
The barons Of the younger circuit
have heavy card of business car
ried over from the December meet
ing in New York which ended in a
row. In addition, they have the new
schedule to consider. It's Ban John
sons schedule and anything of Bans
is due for three may" votes, as affairs
now exist in the league.
Tickli.h Task.
Selection of a chairman to take
the post which Garry Hermann re-
signed is the ticklish task allotted to
the national commission.
American league politics may stick
its pugnacious fist into this session if
Henry j. Killilea is a candidate. The
Boston Chicago-New York clan of in
surgents will lobby against his choice
on the grounds that he is johnson
henchman and that his appointment
would not loosen the grip that John
son had on the commission through
his lieutenant, the Red Chieftan.
National league magnates are said
to favor anyone who knows baseball
and who hasn't financial string on
any club in either league. judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands, local jurist and
fan, has been spoken of for more
than a year and while he has the
support of the National league he is
said to be opposed by johnson. Other
candidates who have been in print
since Hermann announced his inten-
ton of giving up the scepter are "Big
Bilp' Edwards, John B. Foster and
Senator James J. Walker, of New
York, sponsor of the new boxing bill
in the Empire state.

last but not least on the schedule.

few points, the moguls face the task
OF drawing up new agreement that
meets with the approval of both fac
tions.
