EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
ECHOES OF THE LONG AGO.

(From the Washington Star)
The fifty-fifth annual encampment OF the G. A.
r. at Indianapolis suggests many reflections to a
relatively small and steadily diminishing part Of
compared with those of thirty, twenty, ten
years ago. About ten thousand members of this
patriotic soldier organization have joined the grand
army beyond the skies since the last encampment,
and many members still on the rolls of the G. A. r.
are too infirm to make a journey to distant city
and take their place in the marching column or
about those campfires where song and story OF the
civil war go round G. A. r. encampments at WASH
ington used to be big and popular the inaugu-
ration of president. even when an inauguration
ball was part and parcel of the ceremony.
AS man counts time a good many years have
passed since Lncolns first call for volunteers Sixty
years have gone by and since the peace Of Appomat
tox fiftysix years have been marked Off As nearly
all the volunteers and others who entered the union
armies were young men, those that are still among
US are no longer young.
In the popular mind and Imagination the civil
war is long way In the past. Generations have
war between the states has been learned from read
ing history. Relatively few persons read history,
fewer learn much about IT, and still fewer remember
what they learn The United States has been party
to two and other periods of great stress since
the days OF Manassas, Antietam, fredericksburg.
Charlottesville Gettysburg, Shiloh. Chickamauga.
Wilderness and Spottsylvania. One Of these wars
stirred us very much. and the other was the most
stupendous the world has ever known. though our
part In 1t did not tax our resources and emotions
and entail such losses on as the civil war.
Let us salute these veterans who assembled
at indianapolis. let our thoughts go out to these
whose infirmities or cares keep them at home, and
let us pause and then to think of the hosts of
them that are no more In the flesh.

to afford protection to the people living under
It and to administer justice according to law. Were
the government to go after the Ku Klux as those
mobocrats go after their victims nobody would
be safe from the private vengeance of his neigh
bors. 1t is to protect the innocent that the pro-
of legal justice hedged about with rules
which sometimes appear to favor criminals. In
the long run, though, there is small reason for
complaints against the results obtained.
With the Ku Klux 1t is sufficient that some
body In the secret circle of an oath-bound gang
whisper o suspicion. There and then the band
may decide upon punishment to be inflicted. The
being who has been selected as the victim has no
trial; legal proofs not presented, and he is not
cusers his prosecutors, Judges and the execu-
TONERS of the sentence imposed. That is Ku Klux-
ism at its worst. In some instances it has taken
Its victims from the hands of the law because
1t thought the courts were not acting fast enough.
The very deiberateness Of the courts is, however,
the guarantee of protection to the innocent. Could
the Ku Klux have its way there would be end
of the rights which the constitutions Of nation and
states guarantee to every person.
Perhaps the federal authorities will find the
means to abolish, this law-defying company. If it
happens that no federal statutes being violated
by the mobocrats the individual states not i'm
potent to deal with it. 1t is forther governments
to act swiftly and relentessly against the Ku Klux

DIVIDE THE BURDEN.

Adjutant General Henry Rolf Brown, command
ant of the New Mexico National Guards is attempt
ing to secure the cooperation Of employers in
building up the guard organization. This he should
have. Most members employees If loss Of en-
ployment Is to follow abse at the annual en-
campment, men not join the organization.
General Brown asks that guardsmen be given
fifteen days for encampment with pay This is
reasonable. The rigors Of the outdoor regime will
make the men fit Their efficiency will be in
creased. No one will lose any money on letting
them go. Other employees will gladly do little ex-
ira work In order to help.
He asks. in the event Of service, upon call Of the
governor that the differtal in pay be absorbed by
the employer. 1t should be. The assume the
added hardship of service for the protection Of life
and property in the state. Employers should share
the burden.
Men loyal enough to join the guard should be
the special objects of favor and soicitude by en-
ployers.
This service is gratuitous. 1t is given for the
public benefit. The burden should be divided.

THE NATURAL RESULT.

Former service men and officers who have been
to the battefields of France say they scarcely
able to recognize regions that less than three years
ago they knew we'll. The scars Of battle fast
disappearing Much Of this is due to the restoration
work done by man, but nature has not been less
busy. Where fields of grain have not been sown
gardens planted the daisies have carpeted the walls
OF the crumbing trenches. The rains Of summer
ana the storms of winter have been at work obter-
ating the shell holes and the gun pits. Grass grows
where armed men tramped in the deep mud.
Were the devastated land untouched wind and
rain and frost ana would in few years restore
the ground to much the same appearance It had
before the Germans started on their invasion When
man assists nature the restoration Is quickened.

DON'T WANT THE X. X. X.

and good sense They say this Is one thing they
don't want to have imported from the United States,
whence many good things come. And we don't
blame them. The existence of any secret organiza-
ton which assumes to be invisible government
is a reflection upon the efficiency and integrity of
the real government
Loyal citizens in increasing numbers having
become aware of its true nature, are declaring they
wish to have nothing to do with the Ku Klux Khan.
1t is now being made the object of investigation by
our federal authorities In various sections of the
country private organizations have been formed to
combat its secret activities Good citizens don't like
its looks. 1t is operating wrong, an un-Ameri-
can principle. And any such organization is not
likely to last long.

Wagtail chap. "what makes you
ask, Uncle Wiggily?"
well, thought you were In
trouble" said the bunny gentleman,
land I hurried over here. But l
was caught in a tangle of vines
and fell down."
All the animal boys were sorry
to hear that. They brushed the
dust off Uncle Wiggily's hat for
him, rubbed some mud off his
rheumatism crutch with punches
of grass and then had him sit
down In the shade to watch the
ball game.
Every once in a while Uncle
Wiggily would hear one of the an
imal boys call:
"over this way! Come over this
way"
THAT'S what fooled me-" laugh
ed the bunny. II thought a bad
wolf was coming this way to nib
BILE my ears. But that isn't going
to happen"
ooh, no! Yes II Isl" suddenly
cried a savage voice, and, bless
your lollypop, there was the old
Woozie Wolf.
Dear mel" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily, beginning 70 stand up.
Keep your seat" grumbled the
Wolf. II can nibble your ears as
we'll il you sit down as / could If
You stood up"
"But | don't want my ears nib
bled" said the bunny,
1T doesn't make any difference
what YOU want" snarled the bad
chap. "It's what want! Get
ready now. I'm going to niobie
your ears"
BY this time the animal boys
saw what was going to happen.
They ran up to Uncle Wiggtly,
crying:
This way! Come over this way
and run from the Wolff
But the bunny had trick In his
mind.
II know what I'll do" he
thought. 'I'll run toward that
place of the tangled vines. The
Wolf will run after me and, just
before / get there, I'll hop to one
side. The Wolf will be going so
fast he can't stop, he'll stumble in
among the vines, they'll tangle
around his legs and he'll be held
fast and Tight"
SO this is just what Uncle Wig
gily did. He gave a sudden jump
and began to run.
Here! None of that! You can't
lose mel" howled the Wolf, and
he ran after the bunny. But Uncle
Wiggily was cute and smart. He
raced toward the tangled vines,
and, Just before he reached them,
he lodged behind a tree.
"Ah, ha! j have your roared
the Wolf, but before he could turn
or stop he was all tangled In the
strong briar vines. They twined
around his legs, holding him fast,
and Uncle Wiggily, coming out
from behind tree, said:
"Ha! Ha! That's the time
fooled you!" And then along
came a policeman dog and arrest
ed the Wolf, SO he didn't get the
bunny gentleman that time. Ana
I'm glad, aren't you?
So everything came out all right
and If the parlor rug doesn't go
down cellar to watch the pieces OF
coal play tag with the snow shovel
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily and Nurse James Jelly.

VERSE OF TODAY
THE SABBATH OF PAST YEARS.

Where is the Sabbath of my youth,
That calm, sweet, peaceful day.
When churchward all at early morn B..
Wended their quiet way. -
And listened all intent to find
The straight and honest way.
At close of hymn so sweet, divine,
When all then knelt to pray.
The sweet. calm, peaceful Sabbath day
With years has passed and gone
And now the streets of city ring
With whistle, shout and song.
oh, Sabbath dear could you return
Through all the misty years,
A benediction you would bring
And calm our deepest fears.
Sweet Sabbath day Of long, lost years, -'r
With hymns of love and cheer,
Help us again to know sweet peace,
And read our title clear"

all the ruthless schemers he Is the

eyes Of envy Jolt him, and every
