statement that the result will beget business stag

stimulation. The man who is bear on the Unit
ed States Of America is poor reader of history
and not very good judge. True, the total sum
finally to be paid to the veterans by the public
is staggering, but spread over period of TWEEN
ty years it will be easily absorbed. And it must
be remembered, too, that the soldiers themselves
will pay quite share of what they are to receive
1t is reasonable to expect rise in the cost of
living to put it conversely, drop in the value
of the dollar, but this is not likely to be marked
Perhaps two per cent will cover it.Of course we

entered the war were told ruin stared us in
the face Hundreds of millions would be taken
from the pockets of the people. Soon we forget to
think in millions We talked in terms OF billions
and withal prosperity continued and grew apace.
Prices high, but trade was greatly stimu-
lated. The distribution of large sums of money
invariably spells more lavish expenditures and as
the financial tide wanes the natural increase in
population and wealth seems to take care of the
situation and to leave the people permanently on
higher plane America has long way to go be-
fore she begins to march toward the setting sun.

The Children
Lead

In a little town of Illinois, where
municipal playground was sought,
there was instituted, few days be-
fore bond election for that purpose,
a splendid parade of children carry
ing banners and also their pet animals.
Since the children were the ones di-
rectly interested, this demonstration
had significant effect on the voters,
who voted three to one for the new
project. 1t has been suggested that
children be brought forward more
frequently in civic affairs. 1t is for
them that we need cleaner water, clean
er food, cleaner streets and cleaner
morals and after they have a part in
such a demonstration, would they not
develop civic pride and a feeling of
ownership that woul be salutary for
their future citizenship? Would a gev-
eminent of the children, for the child
rem and by the children be thing to
fear?

WHEN Abraham Lincoln stood on the battle
w field of Gettysburg and delivered the speech
that has become classic, he stated once
and for all the real purpose OF Memorial Day and
the abiding lesson that should be taught on that
day when we honor the Blue and the Gray. Those
few plain words, fraught with the humility and
simplicity of a truly great man. made great in
tribulaton and agony of spirit, have come down
to us and will go down thru the ages as the true
definition of the only living memorial that can
ever be erected to those we love and honor.
at is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure
of their devotion-that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain" And
they will have died in vain so far as we are con-
cerned if all that take to the cemetery are the
flowers and flags to decorate their graves.
Think When those last few struggling rem
nar@s OF two once gallant armies stumble thru our
streets bravely trying to pull back bent shoulders
and to hold high bowed white heads, will we who
respectfully remove hats as the flag goes by,
do SO only because of courtesy and out of con-
sideration for convention, or will we too, fierce
ly resolve that these dead and the dead who have
died in two succeeding wars have not died in
vain Will we remember that these men met prob
lens their fathers did not know and recognized
their duty, tho tradition had not pointed it out?
The message of Memorial Day is that "this
nation, under God, shall have new birth of free
dom'-th1s year, and next year, and thru the
years that come, just as much as in the year of
1908. And Freedom is growing living thing

The success of night flying being

been planned to this end. Extending
thru the middle west, the airmail route
which will be of regular daily use, be-
ginning July 1st, is transcontinental

mile interval there are emergency
landing fields equipped with revolving
searchlights and at every $50 miles
on the regular landing fields are search
lights beacons of 500 million candle
power, with beams reaching $50 miles.

Plan of Air
Service

OerVlCH
Steady air mail service between
New York and San Francisco, that
begins July l. will be operated thru
three relays of planes and flyers and
three zones will be formed. Chicago
and Cheyenne being the functions.
There will be required an equipment
of 20 to 80 planes, and a flying force
of al pilots and Isl mechanics. There
will be special stamps for each zone
at the price of 8, and 10 and "a cents.
Cities not on the air route may receive
mail as far as possible by air plane
and by train the rest of the way. Spe-
cial airmail boxes will be painted red
white and blue and will have special
collection. Successful demonstration
has been made during the past year
of an auxiliary service, but this new
system will be an independent one,
and for the test of one year an appro-
priation of $2,750000 is allowed.

A "Golen Rule"
Employer

Occasionally an employer is found
who is conscientious about his divi-
dends. Such one is Arthur Nash of
the Nash Tailoring Company in Gin
cinnati, o. With shares of $500 at
par value and dividend of 100000,
the manufacturer proposes to. distri-
butte this amount among the employees
so that each may have at least
shares, and only wishes to retain for
himself the voting power in the COM
pany for five years longer that he may
educate the workers to the point of
taking over successfully the entire
management With customers, too, the
golden rule" plan is in operation.
Getting Unmarried
If certain cose of divorce is de-
cided, as the attorneys for the plaintiff
contend, there will be a precedent es-
tablished for an entirely new way of
breaking off marriage relations. When
p year old millionaire of Fort
Worth, Texas, filed divorce suit
against his wife, she did not resort to
the usual plan of a counter suit. Her
lawyers asserted that the marriage
was civil contract and breaking this
contract made the violator RESPONSE
BILE for damages. In his contract to
"love, cherish and protect" they claim
the man has failed to perform his part
and this makes a breach of contract
with 100000 damages a reasonable
claim. Should the U. S Supreme
Court uphold this position, there will
be several important results. Breach
of contract suits which are allowable
in every state, woul be preferable at
at any time to divorce suits, as a
lump sum of damages would be pre-
ferable to alimony; the only proof
needed in the suit would be that of
broken marriage agreement; marriage
with another would be possible immedi
ately.

Commercial Value

of Art
In lecture at the Biltmore last

on cart in Industry" He declared
that lack of appreciation of art in
America was costing her millions of
dollars annually in tribute to the ma
tons of Europe whose artistry brings
to them millions of wealth from all the
world.
Art as applied to advertising, how
ever, is phase of commercial art in
which America leads the world, in
this artists opinion. He said that
many really great American artists
were devoting their talents to- this
advertising field. Another artist visi-
tor has suggested that typical Ameri-
can designs are particularly ugly, es-
pecialy that one distinctive American
can utility, the rural mail box, which
could be no uglier, and he predicts
that the creator of an artistic mail
box has fortune awaiting him, so
gladly will people buy them.

Inevitable

If there is one thing certain about

at times. This is true in the matter of
equipages in London. The smart set
there have quit their luxurdious motor
cars for the season to a very large ex-
tent for the horse and carriage, for
show purposes, at least, such as shop
ping, which is almost state occasion,
and for driving in the parks. A late
preference is shown for smart turn
outs with high stepping horses. Some
people are bringing their high bred
horses from their country homes to
the city for coach use. Others, to be
in the style are hiring theirs.
