MEMORY OF DEAD

Ell Centre paid tribute this morning
to the memory of the nations dead.
In beautiful address to veterans of the
Spanish American War, of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Boy Scouts, Rev. Ar
thur Schultz of the Methodist church,
today. emphasized the purpose of Me-
mortal Day and how proper it is that
the nation should set aside one day in
the year to honor it s heroes. He recall
ed the spirit Of sacrifice that made pos
sible to keep the union intact in the
dark days of the SOS, the spirit of uni
versal brotherhood which prompted this
nation to 20 to the defense of weaker
sister in 1898, and the noble ideals for
which the nation again girded on the
sword when the whole was torn asunder
in the great World War.
"He reminded his audience that this
nation was founded by Godfearing men
and women who struggled against every
element that they might build nation
based on the principles of Christianity
and that their heirs had keep faith until
today the United States stands fore
most among the nations of the earth.
That the ideals for which they suffer
ed, and for which those who followed
them laid down their lives, might not
be forgotten, Rev. Schultz charged those
of the present to live their lives accord
ing to the example that has been set
them in the past, and never to forget
the honored dead Of the nation.
Previous to the address, Lincoln s
Gettysburg address, with a tribute to
those who died on the battlefields OF
France was exceptionally well rendered
by Stewart Allen of the Boy Scouts.
The services concluded with the singing
of "America by the congregation.
Service men and citizens went from
the church to Evergreen cemetery and
decorated the graves of fallen soldiers,
with military ritualistic services by
Spanish American and American Legion
veterans. The firing squad was com
posed of Calvin Mousseau, Vaughn

they surely will be, by the better an

He was lashed by angry tongues and
ridiculed in press .and speech until he
drank from as bitter cup as was ever
mistaken and his patience never eX-

He knew, of course, before the as
sassin robbed him of fuller realization
that the end was bringing him out all
right. He knew when swords were
sheathed and guns laid down, that the
union he saved was riveted anew and
made forever indissoluble.
"Reflecting now on the Needless

bruised his heart and tested his pa
tience, we may accept its expression rs

have their feet firmly planted in the

does not amount to anything.
How it would comfort this great
soul to know that the states in the
southland join sincerely in honorin2

heart in defending the flag. How it
would soften his anguish to know that
the south long since came to realize
that a vain assassin robbed it of its
most sincere and potent friend when
it was PROSTATE and stricken, when
Lincoln IS sympathy and understanding
would have helped to neal the wound
and hide the sears and speed the re-
storation.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Crowds
thronged Potomac Park today to pay
tribute to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln at the dedication of the great
white marble Lincoln memorial erected
at cost of $3,0O0,OOO.
Places were reserved in front rows
for the thinning ranks of the G. A. r.
who early today went to Arlington and
decorated the graves of their comrades.
Alongside of them were their enemies
of the 60 s but their friends now, the
United Confederate veterans.
Former President Wilson, leader OF
America s fighting forces in the world
war, had originally planned to attend
the ceremonies, but few days ago
wrote he would be unable to do.
Chief Justice Taft presented the
memorial to President Harding, who

SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.
May 30.-Jimmy Murphy the wild
Irishman of the Pacific Coast, won
the 500 mile automobile sweepstakes
here today. His average speed was
0l.4s miles an hour, shatterins the
track record of 1852 hung up by
Ralph De Palma in 1915.
Murphy accomplished the unrivalled
feat of leading the field every lap and
by so doing won 5000 prize money.
Murphy's time was hours IL minutes
and 80 and one-ha4t seconds.
Harry Hartz second; Eddie Hearne,
third.
Murphy Leads From Start.
Jimmy Murphy and Harry Hartz,
two youngsters in the racing game, set
a terrific pace for the oldtimers to fol-
low in the first 100 miles of the 500
mile sweepstakes, with 81 entries.
Murphy led the race from the start
and was closely pursued by his young
rival. Murphy won the Grand Prix in
1927 at lie Mans, France.
Ralph De Palma was third, Leon Du-
ray fourth and Ora Haibe, fifth.
Murphy's average speed was 94.07;
time, one hour, three minutes and II
seconds. Last years average speed for
the century mark was 93.74.
Two former winners of the 500 mile
race and two other starters had been
forced from the race. Jules Ellingboe 8
Duesenberg struck retaining wall on
north curve after throwing a wheel
and spinning around three times. No
one was hurt. Wilcox, winner in 1919
and Jules GOux, winner in 1913, were
forced out. Wilcox driving a Peugot,
went ont with valve trouble and Goux
in Bollot broke an axle. Wilbur
D'Alene's Monroe Special caught fire
on the northeast turn. The blaez was

been doing in the cemetery.
"Let us continue the Ladies' Aid

said Miss Rutherford.
Within few days, in January of
1865, she called u meeting of the So
ciety at the home of Mrs. John Tyler.
The house still stands. Those present
were Mrs. Robert Carter, president
MRS. w. A. Ware, Mrs. William G. Wool
folk, Mrs. Clara M. Dexter, Mrs. j. M.
McAllister, and Mrs. Charles j. Will
liams. Neither Miss Rutherford nor
Mrs. Martin were able to attend, both
being out of the city.
This meeting formed itself into the
first Ladies Memorial Association,
with Mrs. Carter as president.
Nothing was done toward selecting
the date, for Memorial Day until Miss
Rutherford returned. TO her was given
the honor of choosing the date. She Sc

lected April 26, giving two reasons;
first, that it was day of sad memories,
the date upon which General Joseph +.
Johnston surrendered his army to the
Federals, an act that sealed the fate of
the Confederacy; second, it was date
when flowers would be plentiful.
Death has claimed all the women who
attended the January meeting. There
is only one person alive, however, who
has personal knowledge of the gather
ing. She is Mrs. M. E. Gray, daughter
of Mrs. Tyler. Because she was only

spread through the south. Mrs. John A..
Logan, wife of General Logan, com
mander-in- chief Of the G. A. r., learned
of the practice while visiting in the
South. At her urgent request, General
Logan issued an order to all Grand
Army posts to celebrate Memorial Day
on May 80, 1868.
AS the years passed, state after state
has, by an act of Legislature, set aside
one day each spring as Memorial Day.
While most states celebrate May 30,
others have set aside April 26, May 10,
and June 3.
The American Legion is now urging
that May 30 be made a universal Me-
mortal Day, not only throughout the
United States, but all over the world.

COLUMBUS, Ga, May 30.--To the
women of Columbus, Ga, belongs the
honor of having conceived Memorial
Day as we know it today. The first
observance was on April 26, 1866.
Charleston, S. G., had previously held
n form of memorial exercise on May l,
1865, consisting of dedication ceremon-
les of the ground where 257 Union sol.
diers were buried. Ten thousand persons
ranged by James Redpath general sup
erintendent of education. But as this
gathering was called for the single pur-
pose of dedicating a cemetery, it could
hardly be regarded as the "first Me
mortal Day.
There were no festivities in cOnnec-
tiOn with the first Memorial Day in
Columbus. This was Il day of "sad
memories '.
From 1861 to the end of the war Co
lumbus had q Ladies' Aid Society, it's
purpose being to care for soldiers, i'll
or wounded, who might come home or
could be reached in the field In Jan

Mrs. Jane Martin, resident of Green
