The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-05-27

This is the third most sacred week in the
year, the first and second being Christmas week
and Easter week. But this Memorial Week,
starting with Poppy Day last Saturday and
closing with Decoration Day next Saturday is
week of tender memories, of reverent tribute
of deep respect for the American Soldier-living
and dead-of all wars and of all races. 1t is not
week of jollity, of holiday, Of noise and cele-
bration. 1t is rather a week of thoughtful quiet
ness of earnest striving to appreciate to the ut
most the sacrifice made by these men and what
it means to us and the future generations 1t
has many phases of sadness, but sadness so
overshadowed by the sweetness of sacrifice, the
dignity of past achievement, and the beauty OF
great deeds humbly and quietly done, that TINS
sadness loses its sting of pain and only the
gentleness of it is left. Present-day Americans
have much to think of in this week, much to
hear and to say in memory of these warriors of
ours, many flower to lay in tribute. That we
may do it simply, quietly, reverently and thought
fully is the hope the Gazette has for the obser-
vance of this week in Redwood Falls.

"We saw three girls go down Broadway last
Sunday wearing flowers in honor of Mothers
Day. We learned afterwards that not one of
them washed the dishes for mother on that day."
Albert Lea Tribune.
"Jim Bingwhanger would have Burt May UNI
derstand that the flapperettes to today cannot
afford to soil their lily-whte fingers in dish
water. He certainly has nerve to expect such
a thing of the charming young things who were
created to shine only on dress parade. "-Mankato
Free Press.
Go to, Boys! You are both talking about
something you know little nothing about Those
girls you call "Flapperettes" are washing just
as many dishes as your wives and sisters washed
during their childhood. Well admit they are
doing it faster because there more things
calling them from the outside and they are
anxious to get into the thick Of things outside
the kitchen. That very thing makes for the
speed which is factor in efficiency. The pres
ent-day young people are no more thoughtless
of their elders than those of any other genera
ton. Their outside may appear a little too
bright and brittle for us to image the softness
inside but we know number of these youngsters
first hand, and the softness is there. You fellows
go back to your whiting and talk over the
politics of '93 or something that you know little
about.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE GROWS.

n RESIDENT Coolidge continues to grow in
- the esteem of the people. His fine rea-
sonableness, his sense of justice, his tolera-
ton of opposition and differences while not yield
ing his own convictions, make him beloved.
Just now when so many absurd fads are be-
ing noisily exploited, when all sorts of cures
from the fact that there is an old fashioned man
in the White House.
The people hear now and then Of ennis
takes of the president. That does not disturb
them. They have attained mental and moral
growth so that they expect perfection from no
one, not even from the president, not even from
themselves.
They are content if the president shows
moderation, courage, good intentions, good sense,
and love of country-and no doubts that he
possesses and shows all these.
Calvin Coolidge is content to be servant of
the people under the laws and Constitution as
they were when he took the oath of office. He
perceives that these enactments do not provide
for four-year dictator but rather for great
executive to fulfill and enforce the law. Holding
these views the president surrounds himself with
the best advisors he can get, and takes their adj
vice habitually.
This nation wishes time of reasonable re-
pose, time to harvest the fruits of former la
bors, period of intelligent introspection. That
is one of the bases of the national good will for
Calvin Coolidge.
Other reasons are that he has a fund of
easy humor without being caustic, an easy ap-
proachableness without being offensive. Then
too he is not egging the yes boys who are
proposing him for president in 1928. He lets
the future take care of itself, content to rest
his political fortunes the assured good will
of the average citizen.-Duluth Herald.

The poppy of Flanders caught the magma
ton of the world in time, and to this genera
ton the sight of the blood-red flower will always
mean valor and sacrifice. Veteran organizations
throughout the English-speaking world have
adopted the poppy their emblem and most of
them observe Poppy Day." when flowers made
by disabled soldiers sold for the benefit
of war relief funds. The Veterans of Foreign
Wars urge all Americans to wear the poppy on
Memorial Day, not only for the sake OF relief
activities, but to strengthen the feeling OF
sympathy and esteem the nations which were
comrades in arms. gigantic wreath of these
peoples will be laid on the grave of the unknown
soldier of France, under the Arc de Trumphe in
Paris, another on the unknown Warriors grave
at Arlington, and smaller wreaths on local SOL
ders' monuments wherever there posts of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars The custom is
highly commendable. 1t does not perpetuate the
hatreds of Flanders fields. It's purpose is rather
to keep alive that sense of international esteem
and obligation which strong in 1913 and
which so many things since have tended to des-
troy-Christian Advocate.

"When you meet who "hasn't an
enemy in the world, don't waste time talking
to him. Move on and talk to somebody who
really amounts to something. You can't learn
anything worthwhile from who hasn't
an enemy. He only deals in soft words and soft
ideas He is all wishbone and no backbone. He
agrees with everybody and everything. He
treads softly and gumshoes his way through the
world He could dance jig on the piano keys
and never make a sound. He could walk half
a mile on eggs and never crack shell. He is
always Sinking and apologizing. He never
makes stand on anything. He is always safely
astride the fence on every proposition. Usually
he is the kind of guy who strut sitting down.
The man without enemy-yes, and without a
friend, too, for men of that wishy-wishy, namby-
pamby, goody- goody sort don't make friends. 1t
takes character to make friends, and that is one
asset they haven't A man makes enemies by
standing for the right, by being out in the
open, and by batting for high standards. And
enemies made by doing these things as
set, not liability. Fred Hadley.

International Falls is the latest of Minnesota

International Falls is the latest of Minnesota
municipalities to provide for charging small
fee for tourist camp privileges. Throughout the
state the sentiment in favor Of making small
charge for the use of tourist camps is growing
Better and more sanitary camps can be provided
by this plan than when admission is free, police
protection can be maintained, and the "hobo
tourists" will be kept out to large extent
The Leader favors modern pay tourist camps
with all possible facilities and conveniences for
visitors, and believes that the better class of
tourists, the kind of people that any city likes
to attract to it, is also in favor of the plan

OTHER TRAGEDIES

~ NOE more an individual tragedy has been
I ] dramatized to catch general attention and
- sympathy. The public is following closely
the efforts in federal court to unrave one of the
most puzzling cases arising from the World War.
Whether the dark-skinned man of mystery is Ar
thur Frazier, an Indian who fought for his coun-
try, Arthur Lopez, Mexican imposter, is
question the public wants answered.
In this instance the question has become
dramatic, the spot light has been focused on it.
Yet there are hundreds of instances in this coun-
try where unsettled questions have brought de.
lay, uncertainty and more severe illness or SUI
fering to other service men, The question there
has not been of identity of the person but of
identifying the disability which reduces that
persons prospects for useful, satisfactory life,
and of identifying that disability with military
service so that and compensation are pro-
vided.
Not quite so dramatic these cases, as is
that of Frazier-Lopez but they deserve just as
much of the public thought and effort. Since they
do not get it, because of some peculiar psyche
logical turn in the public mind, it is important
that the American Legion be able to represent
these disabled veterans and get for them what
is their just due. To do this work requires a
certain amount of financing, and the Legion is
now giving the public the opportunity to join
in the work by helping raise an endowment fund
of $4,000 900 the income from which will fin
ance the Legion's work for the disabled, and it's
program for the care of orphans of service men
as WELL
The question of Indian hero or Mexican i'm
poster is important enough. But how about the
question of sick or strong cared for or neglected
contented or embittered- as personified in many

Crown Princess Louise of Sweden is
about to become mother. Instead of keep
ing it secret, the king himself has pro-
claimed the news and has asked for prayers
in all churches for his daughter-in-law.
Too often is the tendency in America to
avoid mention Of such things. But mother
hood is indeed noble and prudery should
not prevent honoring it-Ex.
In this the King of Sweden has certainly
set a good example-one that might well be
followed little more literally in the United
States. For instance WCCO of Minneapolis re-
fused to broadcast an address by Dr.. Ruth Boy
ton. The reason given for this to DR.. Boyton
and the womans organization requesting her to
make this address was that she had twice used
in her talk, the words prenatal clinic" And
we had bunch that Minnesota, with all its
splendid health organizations and education was
becoming enlightened to the extent of realizing
that the time to start giving every child his
heritage of health is before he is born Evidently
