Memorial Day.

Americans will stand at attention today while
mighty host OF heroes pass by. Only the re-
view will not be visible 10 the physical eye. Col.
umns will pass through the streets. banners will
Ay, drums will beat aud there will be pomp and
panoply TO mark the occasion, with Aass a, half
staff TO denote that !, is one oi solemn dedication
rather than OF joyous ceremony. Alongside and
over these will silently sweep through the thor
oushiares massed columns OF veterans who wore
the blue aud those who wore the gray: the buff
and blue OF the colonial troops the blue OF 1872
and the War with Mexico; those who yielded
up their lives in combat with the Indians; heroes
OF the War with Spain and OF the Philippine In
surrection, and the later boys who died that
Freedom might live in the World War.
Their serried ranks will be noted by every
thoughtful American who lifts his hat as the flag
passes today. for it is Memorial Day, and in that
memory the nation includes its soldiers and sail
ors from the first on down. Washington and
Warren and Putnam Lawrence and Perry and
Jackson Harrison and Scott and Taylor and
Bragg, Grant and Lee and Hooker. Pap"
Thomas and Pap" Price, Hancock Sheridan,
Custer, "Jube' Early and "Stonewall" Jackson,
Thayer and Stotsenberg and Culver--the roll is
a long one, and is continually growing, but they
will all be in that column, and the millions of
soldiers and sailors who have fought under them
will march with them
II will be wonderful sight, and an inspra-
ton for him whose soul can discern this great
parade Of heroes, all sons of America. And Old
Glory viii rustic as they salute, because nation
that remembers is nation that will endure SO,
while remembering, as the great Lincoln said we
would, "what they did here" every heart will also
recall the simple words of General Grant, as he
ended the War of the Rebellion, by receiving the
surrender of Lee, "Let US have peacew
Memorial Day is day for rededication, and
the holiest tribute that can be paid to any hero
who has heard assembly" from the other side
is to remember that he fought that the world
might have peace, and that America should
endure. N
Not glory they sought. nor life's shallow
fame.

Is the nub Of the Baldwin plan,
Here are some Of his conclusions:
The rate OF physical growth In not
uniform. Some children start grow
ing fast early In life. some later. As
rule those who start growing fast
early stop growing early.
The rate OF growth of the same
child In not uniform AT all ages.
Boys are taller than girls at all ages
except nj the prepubertaL Since
girls reach this age earlier than boys.
there Is "A period OF about two years
in which girls are taller than boys.
This Is generally from III to 1874
years.
Superior girls reach this stage
earlier than average girls. and the
same holds true OF superior boys as
compared with average boys.

A Fathers Plea for His Son.

%, my son Absalon, my son, my son Absa-
Ion! would God had died for thee, o Absa-
lonl, my son, my SON"
That lament Of father for his beloved boy
has come down to US through thousands of
years. touching reminder of the sorrow of 4
strong heart for son who had gone wrong.
Its pathos loses nothing Of poignancy because
of the centuries that have flown since it was Ut
tered. Every father feels in his heart Of hearts
that he could share Davids woe, were he called
upon to face such circumstances.
Now we see an aged, venerable Nebraskan,
one who has been honored by his fellow citi-
zens, howing before criminal court in Chicago,
and pleading for his son. Without undertaking
to minimize the crime, the sympathy OF the peo-
pie Of Nebraska will go out to Wilbur F. Bryant
because Of his affliction. He is sore stricken and
he deserves consolation from those who know
him.
He pleads for his son. seeking to palliate his
offcnse by citing the fact that the young man
was casualty in France; that he sustained in
luries that may have affected his mind The
crime OF which he is accused, grave as it may
be, is Of such nature as indicates disordered
mind The Bee has no intent Of prejudging the
case, but it has consideration for the spectacle
OF that father, aged and inhrm, weakened by long
years OF service, standing in court and asking that
his boy be given examination to show whether
he is accountable
Davids sorrow over Absalom is no keener or
deeper than Judge Bryant's for his own errins
boy.

ing are those Of Duncan U. Fletcher OF Florida.
Carter Glass OF Virginia. J. Thomas Heain OF
Alabama. Lee overmsn OF North Carolina and
Robert l.. Owen Of Oklahoma. Democratic
members OF the house now serving in congress
who signed the petition were Joseph W. Byrns
OF Tennessee and Frank Clark OF Florida. These
are by no means all the democrats who joined

The Bee agrees with its esteemed contem-
porary that the Morse pardon was not a partisan
affair. bu, il does insist that the onslaught OIL
the attorney general is partisan OF the meanest
grade 1t is to protect and cover up il possible
men who looted the United States treasury under

As to the nonpolitica aspect OF the affair, the
selection OF Charles Spaulding Thomas Of Colo

anty The choice will bring no joy to those who
are under suspicion but it will reassure the pub

Overhaul the wild Man" "

Omaha authorities, and those of the state as
well, have now very pressing duty. They
should proceed with utmost vigor to overhaul
the socalled wild man, who perpetrated one of
the most fantastic crimes ever chroncled in the
community. His name and personal description
is well known, and he should not be permitted
to elude custody long. Whether he be insane
or not, he is a menace, and should not be per-
,nitted to run at large. His victims are to be
congratulated on their escape from his den, as
they might have Jared much worse than they
did. While the search for this criminal is 60
ing on, the authorities will do we'll to tighten
up the machinery of the law little all around.
Last week was one Of the most remarkable in
all Omaha's history, and it should be left to
stand alone.

that the change is made because the practice

Truck and Train.


The New York Central railroad Ia making
interesting experiments with a method OF CO.
ordinating the railway service with the motor
truck. in the interest of greater economy and
efficiency II has built certain type OF nat car.
upon which are fitted steel freight containers.
Each Of these containers Ia the full width Of q
tainers each having a capacity Of $500 pounds.
Motor trucks. especially constructed, receive
the containers from the fiat cars At the city Of
destination. Transfer Ia effected by cranes. and
each truck carries one container at q time.
Empty containers are returned to the cars in
the same manner. or. preferably, the containers
are returned filled with other freight.
As these containers are burglar proof. or
practically so. theft hazard Is eliminated. Con.
Gestion at terminals is relieved by the rapid
handling direct from nat car to warehouse by
motor truck. Fire hazard is decreased, as no
tramps will climb inside the locked and alright
steel containers and drop cigarets among the
goods. Terminal and carriage costs are reduced.
Less costly packing may be employed. Box car
maintenance is reduced. The railroad makes
more money.
Wise railroad men have ceased to listen to
those who walled that the gasoline driven ve-
hicle was going to pauperze the railroads They
have begun to adapt this new factor in trans
portation to the steam and electric railway
systems Some railroads are multiplying the
light gasoline cars for carrying passengers over
their rails. and are cutting down their operating
expense in this way. Trolley companies are
operating motor buses In conjunction with their
lines, instead Of using political pull to prevent
fair competition by Independent bus lines. It
is inability to accept the new that drives the

From the total number Of divorces, $50 per
cent were granted to women, 311 to men. This
larger per cent granted to women is due to
many cases. the two chief being that divorce
no longer socially and relgiously makes q
woman an outcast, and that the possibility Of
self-support and support Of her children is much
easier than in the past.
The United States grants more divorces than
all OF the other nations combined. In some Of
our states there is one divorce granted to every
thirty married.
