Miss Adams devoted her life to the welfare of

Memorial Day

Each year more and more graves of soldier
dead claim the loving attention of relatives friends
and living comrades, who May 80 place upon them
flowers and flags tributes to those who sleep.
This beautiful custom is said to have originated
at Petersburg Va, where June 1855 the citizens
decorated the graves of a number of Confederates
who had fallen in battle while defending the town on
the same date year before In 1868, Mrs Logan
wife of General John A. Logan, then commander-in-
chief of the c. A r. happened to visit Petersburg
its annual Memorial Day and impressed with
with the idea that she recommended to the general
that it be made national custom.
Accordingly he issued proclamation next year,
calling upon all posts of the c. A. r. to observe May
80 as Decoration Day, Memorial Day, by which it
is also known and this day is a legal holiday
in 40 states and in all U. S. possessions.
In recent years, especially since the World War,
this date has been observed more generally in the
South, usually under the auspices of the American
Legion, although all Southern States also observe
Confederate Memorial Day, different dates in the
varios states.
These dates are April 26 in Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi and Florida; May 10 in North and South
Carolina the second Friday in May in Tennessee,
and June (the birthday of Jefferson Davis) in
Louisiana.
National Memorial Day May 30 is the occa-
sion for especially impressive ceremonies at the tomb
Washington where the President and high officials
of and foreign governments, usually parti-
cipate in the exercises.

When we see the chain letters

first to perform a successful oper-

more than so years ago. Older per-
sons will remember what an all
important topic of conversation APP
pendicitis and the operations for it
were at one time, and still are to
some extent. The startling thing
about it, though, is the thought that
an operation, so common today,
was almost unique so years ago. No

sons are alive today only because

cry by some man whose name they

Can't Please Everybody

Reluctantly-very reluctantly
we return to the task of producing
a column and a half of editorials
each week. For the past four
months during the legislative ses-
sion, the weekly news letters of
Lieutenant Governor Hjalmar Pet
ersen have furnished interesting
reading material for this column /;
but all good things must come to
an end.
The editor of small weekly
newspaper has a difficult job in
choosing subjects of local interest
for comment without stepping on
someone's toes. If we criticize local
government officials or business
men for acts which we believe are
not fair or right, they feel insulted
and retaliate by refusing to give
the newspaper any business. If we
take a Pollyanna attitude, throw
ing bouquets profusely for the
good things of the community and
overlooking the bad ones, the
readers soon get tired Of it.
There Is no department of a
newspaper which causes the editor
more grief and affords him less
profit than the editorial column,
and yet most newspapers have an
editorial column, most readers ex-
pect one and would accuse a paper

Of being spineless If 1t didn't have
one. There are individuals who, by
word of mouth, can be all things
unto all men: Republican among
Republicans, Democratic among
Democrats, Farmer-Laborites a.
mong those of that belief, and So
cialistic in a crowd Of Socialists.
But he who writes his opinions in
black and white Is not afforded
that privilege, even If he desired it.
In print, his opinion is bound to
displease those who disagree with
him, and there is no alternative for
him but to grin and bear 1t.
However, there is another side Of
the question. Half the fun a pa

Of reading the editorials and think

This part of the country raises
no cotton. and yet it may properly
be concerned as to what is happen

one of our chief exports. On ac-
count of the MIRA this country is
losing its textile industry, because
