MEMORIAL DAY
s
Once more the day has been devoted by the
people of a nation who have paused in persuit
of their daily occupation, to do reverence to those
soldier dead who fought and died that the nation
might live. On the one day when the veterans
of a great war march with muffled drums and
draped flags to the last resting place of their
comrades, we who are sharing the privileges and
benefits they fought for, join with them in pay
ing that real reverence they so greatly deserve.
The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic
are thinning fast, so fast indeed that today there
are but a few veterans now left to do honor to
those who have gone before. It is fitting that
the younger generation should take up the duty,
with the spirit of the occassion, and continue the
acts of love which is performed on Memorial
Day. Soon there will be none of those left who
fought the bloody battles that a nation might
not be destroyed, yet the duty owed to the veter
ans is just as great and will continue to be as im
portant as time goes on.
Memorial Day without doubt represents a
greater sentiment of a united nation today, than
in years past. With two wars fought by this
nation, in which the flower of youth from every
section entered, since those harrowing days of
'61 to '65, there is no divided sentiment. The pure
motives of the day permits everyone, irrispective
of creed or trend of thought, to enter into the
ceremonies without any misgivings, and with a
spirit of reverence and unselfishness.
It should be not only a duty, but a pleasure,
in the future^ for every city where veterans of
the Civil War reside, to make Memorial Day one
in which the living as well as the dead are honor
ed. The few who are left today have in most
instances passed the alloted term of life of three
score and ten, their days with us are few, and
those days should be the happiest of their lives.
Let Memorial Day include for them the tribute
which will be paid them after death, present the
flowers while they are living that they may have
the joy of their beauty and the sentiment they
express.

THE SEVENTH AVENUE ROAD
During • the -winter* and so far this spring
there has been a great amount of discussion in
the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary and Kiw
ams Clubs and among other civic organizations,
relative to the construction of a hard surface
roadway on Seventh avenue north to connect
with the paving north of the city. It seems to be
the opinion of members of all these organizatröflö
that this roadway should be built aï- the very*

to raise the grade to a proper level no doubt can
be taken care of without cost to the city. Those
owning property along the roadway will without

land necessary free to the city. The added value
to the property with a hard surface roadway will
increase the value of the property far greater

will donate.
THE CONLEY CASE
N £
•*- i
.
Seven weeks have been consumed by the
state in prosecuting the pleadings upon the fif
teen counts against former Warden Frank Con
ley. There has been a flood of vouchers, receipts
and figures presented to support the contention
for an accounting hard to follow. Without in
any way passing upon the case it is interesting
to observé the methods which seemed to have
existed in the handling of the affairs of the state
Prison during the many years past.
The defense will now put in its evidence.
Without doubt there will be many wittnesses pro
duced to uphold the contention made in the an
swer to the complaint and the testimony will at
least be interesting. Friends of Mr. Conley feel
that so far his case is as good as when the state
opened its arguments. The line of defense will
be wortn following.
There are many widely differing opinions
as to the strength and weakness of the case
throughout the state. One can find contenders
for both sides at almost every place where there
are a few men gathered. That the trial has been
watched with interest everywhere in the state is
evident from the many versions of it heard from
those who are traveling about the state.
One result of the case will no doubt be ob
tained. In future those who are responsible for
the operation of state institutions will be careful
to so conduct the business that there will not be
cause for such a condition to arise again as that
which appears to have existed at the State Prison.

Indication of Lincoln 5/11*1/16
Held With Impressive Ceremonies
CIVIL WAR VETERANS GIVEN PLACE OF
HONOR AT SERVICES ON
BANKS OF POTOMAC
WASHINGTON,
May 30.—The j
homage of a people was poured out.
today at the shrine erected by a de
cade of patient labor to Abraham
Lincoln. Under the thtmghful gaze
of his marble likeness, dim in the
shadowy background of the gleaming
white temple his countrymen have
raised to him, thousands of Ameri
cans were gathered.
Men high in the councils of the na
tion were there. The president came
to accept in the nation's name the
memorial. A former president came
to give accounting of his trust as
head of the commission that saw the
great work to its completion. Sen
ators, representatives, cabinet offi
cers, admirals and generals were
there; but it was not these, lavish
as were their tributes to the great
dead, who made the day historic in
American annals- It was the swell
ing tide of humble people who stood
for hours under a blazing sun to
claim this temple of freedom and the
man whose memory- it enshrines as
their own.
Par as the eye could Teach from
the high base of the memorial, Amer
icans were spread over the lawns and
tered under the trees that grace the
setting. How many may have been
there to hear the words of the speak
ers, caught up and flung to far dis
tances by the amplifiers that stud
ded the coping atop the marble struct
ure no man might estimate. But
when the last words had been said,
when the president had gripped hands
with Robert Lincoln at the foot of
his father's statue ..the public broke
over the barriers and swept un
checked up the wide steps to see for
itself the things that have been
wrought in the people's name.
There was little of military splen
dor about the dedication services.
Just a flourish of trumpets to mark
th e coming and going of President
Harding and the solemn ritual with
which the men of the Grand Army of
the Republic dedicated the silken em
' blem of a re-united country on the
steps of tlie memorial. ' The words of
j the formal orders at the service were
spoken in voices shaken and thin with
»Se and the hands that held the ban- V
ner aloft trembled under the weight
of years.

men had
stood to açt as guard of honor when
the president arrived. Flanking these
to the left, a bar© score of gray-clad
veterans of the armies iof Lee or
other southern générais stood proud
ly to salute the flag that Lincoln's
vision and high courage preserved as
the flag of one people.
The sight of these bent men in gray
drew President Harding from the
written text of his addpess, He was
saying that to Lincoln, greater than
any other reward he could have
known, would have been the knowl
edge that his vision had been ful
filled; that the broad waters of the
Potomac flowing .. within a stone's
throw of the memorial marked no
boundary line between two nations,
but that from sea to sea Americans
are one people. Mr. Harding's voice
thrilled as he paused to draw atten
tion to the gray-clad veterans and re
call that twice since Lincoln died
men of the southern states, some of
v .uch men as these old warriors, had
come in their strength to fight for the
flag to which their fathers returned
after the bitter '60's.
"How it wöuld comfort his great
soul " the president said, "to know
that th e states of the southland join
sincerely in honoring him and have
twice since his day joined with all
the fervor of his own great heart in
defending the flag. How it would
would soften his anguish to know that
the south long since came to realize
that a vain assassin robbed it of its
most sin <*r e and potent friend when
^ was prostrate and stricken when
Lincoln's sympathy and understand
would have helped to heal the
wounds and hide the scars and speed
^be restoration.
"How with his love of freedom and
justice this apostle of humanity would
have found his sorrow ten-fold repaid
to see the hundred millions to whom
he bequeathed reunion and nationality
giving their sons and daughters and
aU their fortunes to Balt the armed
march of autocracy and preserve civ
ilization, even as he preserved union-'

an increasing number of men every
