MEMORIAL DAY AN OBLI-
CATION

The melancholy notes of "Taps,
the soldiers requiem, will ring thru
out the nation tomorrow as Ameri-
cans pay their tribute to the memory
of the country's hero soldier dead.
Wherever there are soldiers-and
there are veterans in every village,
hamlet and city within the confines
of the nation-there will be some
ceremony in memory of the dead.
But scarcely will the last note die
out among the hills and crags, or
across the wide open spaces-hardly
will the echo of the rifle salute die
out until the nation will turn itself to
pleasure.
There is much that can be done in
the way of homage for the departed
soldiers aside from an hours respects
on Memorial Day. The principles
which sent them to war, the causes of
the several conflicts in which the ma
ton participated, are largely unfn-
ished in this day. The nation could
well apply itself to bringing about
the elimination of these ideals, else
those who have died sacrificed them
selves in vain.
But in a way Memorial Day is an
occasion to rededicate and reconse-
crate ourselves to those ideals and is
a fitting time to revive our patriotic
memories.
Every man and woman in Oakland
and Garrett county should take a
part in Memorial Day exercises, and
every child should be taught the sig
nifcance of the day. The home should
be decorated in the national colors,
the flower garden should give its
choicest blossoms to those who will
decorate the graves of departed
soldiers and the whole community
should give over at least a part of
the day to the Memorial Day OBJ
servance.

Farm Vacation

while the earth remaineth, seed
time and harvest shall not cease"
But this promise is general. The indi-
vidual seeder and harvester suffers
varying fortunes.
A newspaper editor who has "been
taking a months vacation as hired
hand on farm" finds himself i'm
pressed with the struggles of the
farmer to win the fruits of the earth.
Recently he has been blowing, after
waiting long for the soil to dry suffi-
GENTLY, and putting in his time doing
few dozen odd jobs.
at takes so much work to get the
land seeded" he exclaims. First
comes the blowing, then disc harrow
ing, once lengthwise and once cross
wise, then it must have the iron or
smoothing harrows across it, then the
seeding, and after that it gets a cou-
pie of operations, once with the iron
harrows to make sure every seed is
covered, and finally the roller to pack
the seed bed tight. That makes
seven times over the soil to work it
properly, and it takes time and la
Dor, with no calculations for rain"
Then the job is only begun. There
must be the growing and reaping,
with many civilizations in between for
crops permitting it. And always, from
first to last, there is the peril of ruin
by drought or flood.
The city man who goes every morn
ing to work few hours at some sim
pie, definite task, for which he will
unfailingly receive his pay at the end
Of the week, often criticizes the farm
er for complaining about his lot.
Those who lack sympathy for the
farmer should take similar vacations.

A TRAGEDY!

A Kentucky Judge, with the kindly
assistance of Kentucky jury, has
just sentenced six-year-old boy to
the reform school for killing his play
mate. The tragedy of such proceed
ing, as well as the futility of such a
punishment, was wildly illustrated by
the fact that the youngster did not re-
alize what was going on but played
about the courtroom as if it were a
lark for his own amusement.
Putting aside the question of
whether he shot his playmate, it
seems logical to suppose that he
would not have thought of doing so,
much less carried the idea into execu-
ton, unless he had been reared in an
environment where guns and death
were glorified.
An inquiry concerning the home of
that child, the neighborhood in which
he lived and the sources of his violent
attitude would seem far more appro-
pirate than to visit on him the ven
geance of law which was obviously
made for older and more comprehend
ing minds.
Whether one approaches the ques-
ton of punishment from the stand
point of reform, prevention, or re-
venge, its application to babies is pal
pably useless. Six years cannot pro-
duce enough to make over, enough to
be cared or enough to suffer. But if
thrown into contact with the idiots,
half-wite and perverts that clutter our
reformatories, the potential purity of
six years can easily be contaminated.
That little Kentucky boy might be-
come a decent man if brought up in
the right way and surrounded with
the right kind of influences, even tho
he did shoot a playmate. To place
him in reformatory, however, where
he will be thrown into intimate con-
tact with the outcasts of the State,
means a little less than his virtual de-
struction.
Much as we like to believe that our
corrective institutions can take the
place of a good home, sympathetic
relatives and natural associations, the
result is not encouraging. More often
than not the inmate falls under the
hard influence, absorbing the smart
Alec, rebellious spirit of his compan-
ions rather than the wise counsels of
those in charge. At best, institutional
life is a sorry make-shift.

Gunner Disarm

We have governments Tthin gov
ernments, and one of the most inter
esting of them is that of the Chicago
gansters.
These enterprising gentlemen have
lately come to an agreement about
armament. They find that there has
been too much gun-toting and, as a
natural consequence, too much shoot
ing and killing. They decide that the
several gangs will live hereafter at
peace with one another. And to pro-
mote this happy ideal, they arrange
that the gangsters shall stop the
practice of carrying guns. AS for
machine guns, they are to be the ex-
elusive weapons of the executive
committee" which will use them only
to carry out punishments for viola
tions of the peace pact.
Now, to compare small things with
great-this sounds surprisingly like a
plan proposed by Theodore Roosevelt
for the regulation of various military
gangs before the World War. More
over, William Howard Taft thought
rather well of it. And other presi-
dents since their time have taken a
fling at the idea. But up to date, the
world powers do not seem to have
come to any thoroughly satisfactory
conclusion.
If it works in Chicago, the innova-
ton should be brought to the atten-
ton of Washington, London, Paris,
Berlin, Rome, and Geneva.

MT. LAKE PARK.
LIKE OTHER TOWNS

A neighbor, who spends quite a lit
more or less conferred in the Park, met
the writer the other day and, as usual,
we fell to discussing our community
1t was not a case of lambasting the
management or of criticizing any of
those in authority, but simply a sort
of 'gossipy" conversation, both try
ing to hit upon some plan that would
serve to bring a good many more Wis
itors here than for several years past.
1t was just such discussion as is be-
ing held in lot of other towns that
have felt the depression of the last
few years. My friend remarked that
not many rich people made this their
summer home; that it was only the
people of moderate means that came
here.
To us that was very hopeful
statement-one that should cause re-
joicing rather than sorrow. The fact
that the summer residents comprise
the great financial middle elias is moth
ing to work about, for the stability of
this great country centers about that
class.
Statistics show that a very small
per cent of the citizenry of this coun-
try ever get into the hundred thous-
and dollar class or even the fifty
thousand dollar class. So if this or
any other community had to rely for
it's prosperity on those who possess
great wealth, they would be leaning
on broken reed.
Any merchant will tell you that
the great bulk of his business comes
from the trade of those who are only
moderately well-to-do. The very
wealthy can afford to, and do, take
frequent trips to the larger cities and
naturally shop in the stores there,
which probably have a wider select
ton. Again, wealth very often (not
always) seems to inspire an inferior
ity complex for the home town and
the home merchants merchandise and
they get the idea that a dress or a
suit (although it may be identical
with a garment that could be pur-
chased at honey if bought in large
city is just bit better-and then
they have the distinction of buying
abroad.
We are of the opinion that it is the
great financial middle-class that gives
stability to any community. Just
give us ten thousand of that class
here and we can tell bunch of other
resorts where to head in.

Catholic, despite which fact he seems
to have retained the personal regard
of the then King of England, who was
a Protestant. 1t further appears that
in founding the province, Lord Balti-
more looked more to the welfare of
his subjects (for under the grant he
was indeed a king in his own rightly
than the establishment of any partic-
ular form of religion. Indeed, within
seventeen years after the province
was founded, under the reign of Lord
Baltimore, the federation Act was
passed, granting to all citizens the
right to worship as their conscience
dictated. Yet, altho the people of the
province were engaged in a fierce
battle to subdue the wilderness, in
constant danger of the Indians, and
were intent in carrying out their for
tunes in new and unknown land, all
of which should have bound them to-
gether in unity, we find that in little
more than half century Protestant
is arrayed against Catholic, neighbor
against neighbor, friend against
friend, resulting, in 1859 in what is
known as the Protestant Rebellion.
All this because of an inherent inbred
prejudice. And even prior to this, yet
another revolution was staged by the
Puritans, the very people who pro-
fessed so much and whose object was
to purify" the Church of England,
the then established church.
Then later, after the Puritans had
aided in wrestling the government
away from Lord Baltimore and pass
ing laws DISTINGUISHING the Catholics,
the royal government, which these
prejudiced fanatics helped to build,
crammed down the threats of the peo-
pie the Episcopal (or established)
church and required every one, rich
and poor, Protestant and Catholic, to
pay for it's support by taxation.
You may well say that all this is
interesting Maryland history, but why
go back so far for illustrations of
prejudice?
We concede the point and agree
that even in our own community land
we are not alone in rhis) prejudice,
both political, religious and in the
business world, still exists and is a
stumbling block to the development
of the proper community spirit with
out which no community can advance.
To those not entrusted with church or
party government, it seems a waste
of valuable time to spend tremendous
energy trying to force on those re-
ligiously or politically opposed, opin-
ions which we hold, be they right or
wrong.
Let US lay aside all prejudice and
envy and sink our individual opinions
in the far greater and more impor-
tant work of making our community
better place in which to live, re-
membering that there is so much bad
in the best of US that it i'll behooves
any of us to criticise the rest of US.
