The Stacker List

"The New York World leader of the
democratic press, denounces the secre-
tary of war for giving publicity to the
list of men subject to draft who are
now found to have been enlisted or ex-
cused, and the World declares that
the secretary presumes the men to be
guilty until proven innocent Well, if
so, the secretary of war is fully justi-
fled. If a man is summoned to jury
duty and when his name is called he
does not respond, the judge issues a
bench warrant for his arrest. His
failure to respond is prima facie evil
dence of guilt and the warrant of ar
rest will be served and he will be
punished unless he can show that he
was innocent of disobeying the sum-
mons.
But the secretary of war has not
declared all these men guilty. He has

Elected in the morning sunlight won
derful edifice of snow-white marble. II
is the new Memorial amphithester, the
most splendid monument to the heroic
dead ever erected by any nation. In
beautiful Arlington lie buried more
than 10000 men, Union soldiers and
sailors of the Civil war, from private
Confederate soldiers, soldiers of the
Spanish war and soldiers and sailors
of the regular army, navy and marines
who have died in times of peace. 1t is
the highest of honors to be eligible to
burial In Arlington and while major
generals and second ieutenants lie
side by side near the men they COM
manded In battle. not one civilian, no
matter what his influence, may find
burial within its confines. Nor could
one wish to lie down to final rest In
more beautiful surroundings
Over every foot of the slopes and
wales of this magnificent reservation
the national government provides for
a most perfect care; the grass is kept
green and cut and the bushes and
shrubs cared for as in a royal park,
while near the old Lee mansion the
fragrant wistaria climbs over an ex-
tensive trellis where the Memorial day
exercises have always been held, on
all sides Towering shrubs contributing
their living beauty and perfume to the
impressive ceremonies on this day of
the nations remembrance. Every

the Civil war, except one, has felt hon
ored by an invitation to speak at Ar

planning, he should thank the secretary
of war for giving him the final oppor-
tunity to get his name off the list of
deserters.
I'VE can imagine that sometime a
business man might have occasion to
visit his store late at night and while
there might be accosted by police
man who threatened to arrest him and
would arrest him unless he could iden-
tify himself and establish his right to
be in the store at an unseemly hour.
In such event, should or would the
owner of the store resent the action of
the officer and denounce the act as
presuming him to be guilty of theft
until he proved his innocence? Not il
he happened to be a business man of
good sense. He would rather thank the
officer and say, l am glad to have the
assurance that you are vigilant in the
protection of my property On some
other occasion a real thief may be here
and then l shall be glad that you are
on the job
THAT should and will be the attitude
of any reasonable man who is improp-
erly included in the draft evaders list.
He will write the secretary, You were
mistaken this time, through no fault
of yours but l appreciate your Jealous
effort to run down every unpatriotic
resident of the United States. / am
thus assured that in case of another
war and another call to arms, all citi-

ihtss Dul IHe FORMER Is located SOME
distance apart, just outside of the
heavily wooded portion OF the ceme-
terry which is filed with soldier graves.
AS years pass and the young trees sur
rounding the amphitheater grow the
place will Increase In beauty and mai
esty.
The first national cemetery was es-
tablished at Gettysburg to make an
honored resting place for those who
on that great battlefield gave their
lives that the nation might live, and
then came the inspiration to make at
Arlington a cemetery that would be
national In its widest sense. To pro-
vide this final resting place for the ma
tons dead, the government paid to the
heirs of Gen. Robert e. Lees wife,
$4,000 for property which had been
assessed In 1850 at $4,000
The Arlington National cemetery
embraces Alb acres and since its es-
adjustment the government has spared
no expense to make 1t the most beau
tiful and attractive city of the dead
upon which the sun shines. Over ST.
100000 have been thus expended In
landscape engineering to enhance the
natural beauty of the spot.
World HsIds Nothing Like IL
The smphitheater is a majestic adj
dition which constitutes Arlington the
most magnificent OF cemeteries. There
is nothing like 1t In the whole world.
Other nations have erected monuments
to successful generals, admirals and
statesmen. They have provided fam
Gus places of sculpture, as Westmin-
ster abbey, Pere La Chalse, the Pan
theon, and the Pyramids of Egypt But
Westminster abbey is reserved for men
of the highest distinction In any walk
of life - craftsmanship, invention,
science, letters, philanthropy, as well
as war. 1t is the same with Pere La
Chaise, while the Pyramids were tombs
for kings and queens only. But not so
with Arlington cemetery. Here equality
Of service and sacrifice dominates.
Commanding general and humble pri-
vate are on the same level the simple
rule of eligibility for burial Is the
same; yet 1t is iron-clad. Wealth,
birth, social station and political emil
nence, without military service, try for
admission In vain.
At Arlington have gathered during
the past generation the greatest Of the
nations military heroes to listen to and
to participate In eulogIes and tributes
to their silent comrades all encamped
about, and here each year in ever-in-
creasing number are laid to their anal
rest many of these same heroes Of the

I'll. M. Cannon Accused
by Partner of Appro-
priating Money for
Own Use

Demanding that a receiver be
for the firm OF H. M.
Cannon. operating a new and sec
ond hand furniture store ON the
corner of North Liberty and
Court street, a complaint charg-
ing that Cannon appropriated the
funds OF the concern for his own
use was filed in the circuit court
this morning by Edward b. Hese-
man who claims to have bought
an interest in the business.
Heseman asserts that in No
vember 1920 he bought an inter-
est in the business and gave Har-
ry Cannon two promissory notes
Of $500 each. One OF the notes
was assigned by Cannon to the
Ladd and Bush bank as security
for a note to the defendant Of
$1,000 and to further secure a
second loan OF $500 TO Cannon
and his father in law.
Some time later, Hessman
states. he paid the bank $500 on
the note, but has been prevented
from helping conduct the business
Of the firm or sharing in any ,of
the profits by Cannon who claims
that the plaintiff has only a 5000
equity in the. business.
When Heseman agreed to enter
into partnership with Cannon, it
is stated, the total valuation Of
the stock was $4,000 but the firm
proposed to raise this to $4,000.
Besides asking for receivership
the complaint asks that the de-
PENDANTS be prevented from col
1ecting on Heseman's notes, that
the property of the firm be sold.
and the partnership be dissolved.

Tourist Bureau
Not Yet Matched

None Of the $37,500 annual ap-
preparation made available by the
last Oregon legislature for the
support of the Northwest Tourist
association will be available until
the state of Washington has pro-
yided a sum at least equal to this
amount, according to an opinion
prepared today by Attorney Cen
eral Van Wrinkle for the informa-
tion of Secretary of State Kozer.
The Oregon act, Van Wrinkle
points out, provides that the ap-
preparation from this state shall
only be payable il the state OF
Washington provides, either by
of by subscription OF
its citizens during like period OF
time, the annual sum of at least
$37, 900"
Governor Hart having vetoed
the bill carrying the Washington
appropriation it is now up to the
citizens of that state to make up
the amount by private subscrip-
tion if the tourist association is to
survive during the next two
years.
The $4,000 which has SO far
been pledged by citizens of Wash
ington does not satisfy the pro-
visions Of the Oregon law which
requires that "the annual sum OF
at least $780," must be provid-
ed by that state, Van Winkle holds
The opinion points out, how
ever, that 1t is not necessary that
all of this money must be paid In
before the Oregon money can be
released but that it may be pledg-
ed and be made payable "by speci-
fled installments at deferred per-
iods."
