zone swallow does not make a
summer" neither would the election
of a silly, visionary radical like Mag
nus Johnson to the United States
Senate, taken by itself, have any
great significance except as it may
demonstrate the tendency of the cleo
torate to suffer from periodical de-
mentia and to seek in some new po-
litical adventure remedy for its
economic ills, specific for its hypo-
chondriasis, an outlet for its tenn
porary delirium. This is not the first
time that the dignity of. the Senate
has been affronted by the election of
some asinine burlesque politician to
sit in that august body hallowed by
the memory of John Quincy Adams,
Henry Clay, John Caldwell Calhoun,
Daniel Webster, William Henry Sew
ard, James A. Garfield and host of
others among the eminent statesmen
of America.
Taken by itself, the election of
Johnson means nothing. The sover-
Gig State of Minnesota has the priv
lege of making itself ridiculous in
the eyes of the nation and the world
In the East we sometimes send
mediocre men to the Senate. They
are invariably, however, men of ed
ucation and attachments. They are
persons Of breeding and refinement.
They have regard for decency.
Magnus marks the crest Of the
wave Of hysteria that carried such
men as Shipstead of Minnesota and
Brookhart of Iowa into the United
States Senate. The wave will subside
and these states that, carried away
by a momentary madness, have elect
ed these men, will doubtless be heart
lily ashamed of themselves. For the
time being they are as impervious to
argument as would be lot of raving
lunatics.
The situation is not particularly
dangerous. The East and the South
and some Of the Western States have
sufficient serious-minded men to keep
the boat from rocking too violently.
Moreover, the United States is a much
bigger proposition than some of
these demagogues realize. There is
no place where a mans measure is
more quickly taken. Like water,
these rambunctious Near-Reds find
their level with remarkable facility.

To the Torchbearers

oncs more we'll do them honor,
Again ws'll sing their praise
These brave who scorned life's pleasures
And lived laborious days.
At last they know the answer
Men md who die to save-
The soldiers path Of glory
Doth not end ct the gravel
The path continues onward
Beyond the gates Of dawn:
The Great Adventure leads them
Into newer morn
They follow II with ardor
Beyond tho Day Stars CLEAN,
And In the cosmic twilight
They hnd the Fields Of Dream.
Weep not for these knights errant
Who hravely went to roam,
For they are ali together
Safe In the Port Of Home.
To us the loss ID bitter.
But theirs d greater gain;
They have 0utsoared earths shadows
of envy. hate and rain. ~
We bare our heads In homage,
In reverence bend the knee,
For those who fought the fight
That all men might be free.
And while spring xephyrs murmur
OF sacrifice sublime.
We deck their mounds with laurels

The War department feels that II per-
mission for the return Of bodies were
to continue the cemeteries would be In
a constant upheaval and their beauty
would be mnrred. But Il Is only fulr
to the relatives Of soldiers newly itlen-

tunity Of having the bodies returned.
Few American Dead unknown"
In comparison with that Of the other
armies In the World war the number
Of American unknown dead Is small.
About 2 per cent of American dead are
"unkn0wns," The French and British
proportion Is about 30 per cent.
In the American army the soldiers
were required to wear two identifica.
tion tags, one on string around the
neck and the other on the wrist. Most
Of the men wore the tags, but here
and there were men who did not. The
men In the British and French armies
were much more lax In this regard
than were the Americans.
The army bill carries IN appropria-
tion for the maintenance Of the Amer.
lean cemeteries In Europe. APPROX
mately 15O men are employed In the
work. Nine are American army Off.
GERS and the others, except for an
army sergeant In charge Of motor
transportation, are civilians. A cen.
tral office Is maintained In Paris.
Difficulty has been experienced In
getting grass to grow in some Of the
cemeteries. It Is evident that sprink.
ling systems will have to be installed.
At Romagne 1t was necessary to plant
grass six times. To make the ceme-
terry presentable for the large number
Of American visitors the expedient Of
planting rye was resorted to tempo.
rarily.
In the French cemeteries the bodies
are buried In individual graves, with
just mounds over them without grass
But the French intend to adopt the
American idea Of beautiful lawn
effect.

TOWNS OBSERVE
MEMORIAL DAY

Yesterday Buckingham and Ray
mer observed Memorial Day at Ray
mer under the direction Of the
American Legion Of this place.
The program as given in The
Enterprise last week was carried out
with very slight change.
Many were heard to express them
selves as believing the program the
best ever given In Raymer. In our
opinion, only che preceding this
approached 1t in excellence and that
was the one given in war time, when
Wayne Williams Of Denver deliveded
the principal address.
The music by Buckingham orches-
ira was delight, seldom eQualled In
any place.
DR.. Hawthorn's preliminary re-
marks before reading Lincoln's Get
tysburg address were most oppropri-
ate, calling attention to the thought
Of modern times turning more to
the private and common soldier than
to those In command. He also told
Of one Of those incidents of personal
nature that shows why sectional lines
have been obliterated and there 10
no longer North and South but
united nation. The Doctor discover
ed among the relics Of a relative q
Bible picked up on a battle field of
the war, and on the fly leaf the name
Of northern soldier from Wisconsin.
By investigation two surviving
daughters Of the soldier were located
in Wisconsin and the Bible restored
to them.
Rev John r. Wood gave the prin-
cipal address. It was eloquent and
inspiring. The parting thought be-
ing that We should be true In life
to the principals that the soldiers
had died for. One old soldier said
It was the best address he had ever
heard on such an occasion, and we
think the opinion would receive the
unanimous endorsement Of all who
heard It.
Following came few remarks
from the half dozen veterans Of the
war for the Union present They
were Joseph Gingrass. Nathan Add
ington, Nathan Peterson, A. 8.
Whipple, Amos Warrick and Mr..
Lamon Of Buckingham.
Walter Evans, the only representa-
tive Of the Spanish American war,
and Messrs Freeman, Blauer, Thomas,
Hemenway and Schmeeckle Of the
World war, all had word, and then
c. H. DeFord Of Buckingham. spoke
a word of appreciation for these,
and their deceased comrades.
A. unique feature Of the program
was the decoration Of mound re-
presenting the unknown dead. by
dozen boys and girls.
Preceding this the benediction
was pronounced, and as the Nat
flower was laid In the grave of the
unknown, TAPS" were sounded In
the hall and the ceremony Of the day
was ended; but let us hope that its
Influence will continue and show
itself In greater devotion to the
ideals for which the soldier gave
his life.
