MEMORIAL DAY

When the Ameriran army finish
ed its work across the seas, the
que2tion arose as what day should
be taken for perpetuating the mem.
ory Of those who made the supreme
sacrifice. Some of the soldiers may
have thought they would like q new
holiday created for the purpose.
The idea has seemingly prevailed
that the national Memorial day,
May 30. shall also become the day
for remembering the lnen who died
in the world war It is we'll to un,
ite the two coInme1norations as the
men of the civil war time are fast
passing. The veterans of the ear
lier struggle might sometimes be
forgotten if these observances were
kept separate.
The sacrifices that these soldiers
have Offered make the ordinary ser
vices Of peace times look very trif-
ling. People grumble about their
taxes and efforts they have to make
for the public good. But how utter
ly infinitesimal such contributions
seem, when compared with what
the soldier gave. He said farewell
to all that he loved in life, and
marched to his grave to preserve
something of value. Contempla-
ton Of the grandeur of his offering,
should give us a new inspiration OF
loyalty and make us ashamed to
show a petty spirit.
Tho willingness with which men
have left their homes and loved ones
to protect their country, shows how
great the gift of American citizen.
ship has been. 1t was a priceless
privilege that was bestowed upon
us, when this government with
its principles of freedom and equal
ity was established.
That the people appreciate 1t and
value it, Is shown by the readiness
with which they arise to defend It
when 1t is in danger. And now that
noble souls have left us at these
various periods, let us show our
selves worthy Of them and manifest
something of the same devotion in
our effort to keep the country true
to the standards they would ap
prove.

THE MoroR1sr' RIGHT OF WAY

Certain laws and customs exist
as to what vehicle shall have the
right of way when meeting at cross
roads or elsewhere. The careful
automobile driver finds that many
otoers are inclined to steal tOis
right from him. Unless he drives
ahead as If he proposed to insist
on his position. the other fellow
will bluff his way. and take the pre-
cedence that does not belong to
him.
This is Irritating to man who
likes to stand up for his rights. Yet
there are many fools on the road.
and the loss of time involved is so
infinltesimal. that 1t hardly seems
worth while to be too strenuous
about your rights on the road.
II you 60 ahead every time you
have right to do so. some wild
man win run into you some day,
and then you may have law suit or
hospital case. The conservative
citizen is apt to conclude that it is
better to let hog take his course.

DisAsLED SOLDIERS WEEK

The American people would never
have begrudged any amount neces.
sary to care for disabled soldiers
Any kind of a popular assembly
would have voted all necessary ap-
preparations with whoop. But II
is not easy to get prompt action
out Of the government.
The Job of caring for these mer
proved far greater, than was antici
pated, and It involved many puzzl
ing problems So there have been
many complaints that large mum
ber of them, who deserve such warm
and affectionate interest. have not
had the attention that is due them
and have suffered much from this
neglect.
The hearts of the people were con
centrated on the soldiers as long as
the fighting went on. and one could
hardly think Of anything else. But
when the last gun was fired and
the flag was furled the tendency
was strong for the public to forget
them. Many pressing problems de
manded attention. and publir senti
ment failed to spur on the govern
ment to cut red tape and get things
done promptly. The government
seems to realize the necessity or
prompt action now and Congress
should pass what legislation Is
needed without delay.
To arouse interest in this cause, a
disabled soldiers week" has bcen
appointed, beginning May %. Gov
ernors oil seven states have indorsed
it. Tn people of every locality
should take the occasion to inquire
how the disabled soldiers of their
own community have Jared. Those
who live near the hospitals and
schools and homes where these men
are, should take all possible pains
for their benefit, to see that they
are getting the care that they need
and to help provide for any wants
they may feel.
1t is hoped that all the men from
Colorado are being well looked al
ter and public attention should be
called to any case in which help il
cale1d for. These men are our her.
oes, and should be shown that the
public regards them with honor
and gratitude.
