Scatter fair blossoms of love and
devotion,
Wear a red poppy to honor the
brave;
Wear it with love that is broad as
the ocean,
Honor the memory Of heroes who
gave.
Ended at last are the wearisome
marches, AZ
No more the summons of bugle and
drum,
Sweetly and gently the sky over
arches
Sheltering a land where Rebellion
is dumb.
Black were the days when the gallant
were dying,
Sad were the hours when the
conflict was on;
But through the darkness Old Glory
kept flying,
God aided right and we welcomed
the dawn.
Peace the wide-fying on untiring
pinions
Sweeping away to the uttermost
parts,
Covered expanse of our mighty do
minions,
Bringing a message of Joy to our
hearts.
Mix the red Poppies with Lilies and
Roses,
Weave in garland with reverence
to-day,
Lovingly place on the soil where
reposes
Heroes in Khaki, in Blue and in
Gray;
Oh, but this peace which our hearts
cannot measure,
What did it cost for our manhood
to gain?
Bought at the price of the hearts
dearest treasure
Paid for by suffering and sorrow
and pain.
Victory and freedom born out OF the
rattle
Comes to us now as the day follows
night,
Peace to the martyrs who died in the
battle
Glorified truth and the GROWING
of right.
Wear the red Poppy for those who
are sleeping
Row after row on Flanders
drenched field;
Sacred their memory will live in our
keeping,
How they have given their lives as
a shield!
Out of the blood of conflict super
nal,
Out of the dust and the dimness of
death,
Bloom the fair blossoms of glory
eternal,
Blossoms that sweeten the world
with their breath!
Poppies of life blood and peace and
devotion
Bloom in the hearts that are
empty of strife,
Sending their petals across the great
ocean
Leap into beauty and fulness of
life.
So with the bluebird a-twittering
chorals
And with our flag unfurled to the
sky,
Place on the graves of our heroes the
laurels
Won by their courage to fight and

its woman readers, who claims that
the women of the country are deeply
interested in them. From it we
quote the following significant para
graphs:
THE general policy of co-opera-
ton between the national govern
ment and the State governments in
social welfare legislation is too firm
ly established to be attacked OF
changed on fundamental grounds
but there are three objections to the
immediate passage of the Towner ed
ucation bill, the Sheppard maternity
bill and the Smell forestry bill which
ought to be carefully considered.
First, the danger that the pendu-
lum may be swung too far in the
national direction, and that individ-
ulas and organizations are too prone
to turn to the power of the federal
government to establish reforms
rather than to the power of educa-
ton within the States. The Outlook
is temperamentally nationalist and
is not a believer in the sanctity of
tho philosophical doctrine of States
rights. But the American people
ought not to become Indifferent to
the function and powers of the State
oovor1p,aptc ond cbiold tbair ipdif
ference by turning to the national
government in the, frame of mind of
one who says: oh, let George do
it, The local processes of education
al evolution are slow, and it is easy
to get impatient with them, but gen.
orally speaking, it is only by follow
ing these local processes that sure
progress can be made in democra-
cy."
The public has been passionately
assured that the educational bill in
wolves no invasion of States rights,
the most important of Southern doc
trine5, and that even if it did, edu-
cation is a matter of such supreme
that the cherished pro-
lection afforded by the doctrine must
be swept away. But here is star
not believer in the sancti-
ty of the philosophical doctrine of
States rights" who asserts that the
measure does invade those rights and
that the result will be injurious to
our civilization. Bishop Warren A.
Gambler, one of the South's foremost
has attacked the bill on
he same and other grounds.--Mem-

izen of Union City, died at his home

Within the Law.


issue from the Commercial Appeal il
reference to the Smith-Towner edu-
cational bill. The editor of the Out
look. DR.. Lyman Abbott, is asked fol
an opinion and he gives it emphati-
cally and pointedly. He opposes the
swinging of the pendulum in gen.
eral way to the idea of nationalism,
at the same time disclaiming any
prediction for the doctrine OF
States rights.
Many years ago Ex-Gov. Bob Tay-
lor was severely criticised by his
Democratic friends for the support
he was giving to the issue of national
aid to education. 1t was at that time
extremely unpopular with Demo-
Gratis.
But the fact that national aid was
unpopular then or might be unpop-
ular now should not govern our ideas
of wholesome legislation.
Government aid is a species of ma
tionalism and nationalism is sweep
ing application of socialism. Our
present public school system might
be said to be infant socialism, but
benevolent socialism. There are how
ever indications that the State school
systems may now be merging into
politics. In Tennessee it seems that
public schools are now controlled by
political organizations or factions.
If the Smith Towner bill is to ex-
tend or nationalizc our universities
we should at once conclude that it is
not calculated to juctify the expense
nor the risk of the principle in
volved 1t would be doubtful prop
,osition indeed to nationalize our
elementary public schools, even if
State funds were insufficient to keep
them going. But as long as the
States can support their elementary
schools the demand for national aid |
is, in our opinion. false assumption.
The writer is almost settled in the
belief that college education at the
expense of tho State is neither prac-
teal nor necessary. In Tennessee it
is now costing moro, or at least as
much as tho elementary work, and
the economic equation is lost in the
political balance. This was not so
before the State undertook to foster
college education. 1t might disturb
the local settlements and factions
and political leaders to break loose
from State aid to higher education I
in Tennessee, but it would unques-
tionably be no serious loss to the
education of the masses or the econ-f
omy Of State government
Once before we stated that univer-
sity education can BIO had in Tonnes
see in one or moro of the finest
schools in tho South, practically as
cheap az it can be had in the State
colleges 1t might be within the
facts in the case to state that the
cost would be no more in the private
university.
In the face of all this, how do the
authors of the Smith Towner bill ex-
pect to promote the principle either
of democracy or economy.
