seryance OF Memorial day has been

this generation who so nobly carried
on the noble record established by
the men of the early sixties And In

the veterans of the war with Spain
in Cuba and the Philippines.
II is proud tradition that In each
OF these wars the armies beneath the
Stars and Stripes fought for human
liberty, not for greed of territory or
lust Of power, but, in the immortal
words OF Lincoln, that government Of
the people should not perish. And the
outcome In each has justified the
faith that conquer we must when our
cause II Is just" A people that takes
up the sword only in such circumstan-
ces and with such spirit finds In the
solemn ceremonies OF Memorial day

Of faith that can never be Quenched.

BELIEVED SANE

Chicago, July Testimony OF
the alienist for the state in the hear
ing of Carl o. Wanderer, convicted
of killing his wife and the ragged

now pleading insanity, was re-
sumed today in an effort to prove
Wanderer is shamming insanity.

evening.

Of Wanderers wife is being used
in his defense, it became known to-
day when receipts for S1,006 of her
money and signed by Wanderer
were introduced as evidence
The receipts have more than a
sentimental significance as the
state is endeavoring to prove that
at the time the papers were made
out last March, Wanderer was in
his right mind.
Wanderers attorney has testified
that when he visited Wanderer and
talked of money, the defendant per-
sistently said no money was need
ed and that God would take care Of

ciated Press and United Press direct from the
