DO IT oNlck, CONGRESS!

The most urgent demand right now,
for immediate action in congress Is
NOT tariff, nor taxes, nor foreign re-
lations.
1t is the cry for simple justice to
GAL 900 young men who were branded
in body. and many also in soul, that
the great war might be won.
Memorial arches and buildings have
been provided by dozens. Eulogies
have been uttered by thousands. Cam

by tens OF thousands.
But delay and neglect and indiffer-

glory to gall in the mouths Of these
suffering men.
We have had enough, and too much,

What the people of the United States

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
"PRIMROSE DAY"

If you should chance to be in Lor-
don tomorrow. you would not be able
to do much business except to buv
button-hole boquets OF primroses. If
you asked why English people were
celebrating April 10 as Primrose Day.
You would be told that April 10 was
the anniversary of the death of Dis
raeli, Lord Beaconsfield. They would
add that the primrose was his favorite
flower.
1t is a strange thing. and the En-
cyclopedia Britannica says it is un-
precedented. for England to celebrate
with rejoicing the anniversary OF a
statesman's death; the reason for that
date, rather than that of his birth.
Dec. 81, appears to be that on April
10. it is possible to wear the primrose,
Disraeli was a lover of flowers, but
mostly OF flowers less modest and
more snowy than the primrose: why is
the primrose supposed TO have been
his favorite flower? The Britannica
says that no one seems TO know. And
that learned publication does not tell.
what its editors probably had heard.
that the only thing certainly known
about Disraeli's feeling about prim-
roses is that he told his gardener to
dig up some Of them and throw them
away.
The truth seems to be that when
Lord Beaconsfield died. Queen Victoria
sent a wreath of prirnroses, with a
card, bearing the legend. His Favor
lite Flower" The British empire took
it for granted that Victoria knew what
DisraeIIs favorite flower had been.
But, as is now believed, Victoria was
not referring to Disraeh at all. but TO
her long dead husband, Prince Ed
wardI
Now it was very we'll for Victoria to
remember with affection the common =
place German prince to whom she had
been married, but England was not
thinking much about him on the morn
ing of April 10, 1891, when her prime
minister lay dead. Great Britain still
refuses TO believe that Victoria was
not thinking about Beaconsfield. She

hidden thought. Then with an effort
she spoke again.

Resolutions endorsing the pending

Election of such conditions on the
whole community and each member
thereof including themselves. The
text of the resolution follow:
Whereas, the shortage of unskilled
labor on the plantations of the Terri
tory of Hawaii has reached an acute
stage, and
have always been the staunch sup

Territory, and
Whereas, any condition that seri-

schools,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
