MURRAY COUNTY William Pitt Murray was a prominent figure in Minne- sota political circles for many years. Born in Ohio in 1825, he graduated from the law school of Indiana university in 1849 and came to the in- cipient territory of Minne- sota the same year. He served in both houses of the legisla- ture during the territorial period, in the constitutional convention in 1857 and as a representative or senator in four sessions of the state leg- islature. He also played a prominent part in the gov- ernment of St. Paul, being a member of the city council most of the time from 1861 to 1879 and city attorney from 1867 to 1869. Murray county was named in his honor in 1857. XAk Ak hkkhk Ak kK kk kX khkhkhkhkk kd kXA hkhkhhh¥xk HH K KKK KKK KK KKK MEMORIAL DAY. Today is Memorial Day, a day set set aside each year to keep blessed memories alive, to keep the memory green of those who gave up their lives upon the field of battle for the preservation of this nation and the liberty for perpetuation of which it stands. that Memorial day, or Decoration day as it originally was called, was first obscerved in a southern state by the negro school children, who under the guidance of a northern teacher, sought this means of expressing their thanks for freedom from slavery. According to history, James Red- path suggested Memorial day. He was in Charleston, S. C., soon after the war closed and had offered his services free to the city as superin- tendent of schools. General Hateh, commanding the district, and Gen- eral Saxton, representative of the Freedman’s bureau, accepted the offer. It was during one of his visits to the negro schools that Redpath falk- ed to the children about.-decorating the graves of "their friends and de- fenders who fell in the fight for their freedom. This was in April, and af- ter one of his speeches a little negro girl said: “Let all of us go and get a’mfuls and a'mfuls of posies and hide the graves from sight, so we can’t never see 'em again, nevah ne mo.” On the following May day the negro school children of Charleston marched to the graves with their arms full of flowers. But many whites also joined in the observance. There were 10,000 people present, and a full battalion of soldiers were there on that May 1, 1865, when the custom of sounding taps and firing a volley over the graves was inaug- urated. The custom spread throughout the || northern states within a year or two. || In 1868 Adjutant General N. P.|) Chipman was so impressed with ob-| servances he had seen that he sug- gested to General John A. Logan, then the head of the Grand Army of the Republie, that the latter’s organi- zation take the lead in making an annual flower-strewing event of it. Without further-ado-General Logan issued an order that May 30, 1868, would be observed by all G. A. R. members as Decoration day. The name, Decoration day, clung to the event which was thereafter observed each year until in 1884 when the G. A. R. renamed it Memorial day. The first unofficial observance of the day in the North was at, Water- loo, N. Y., in 1866 and the follow- ing year the Campbell Post, G.:6A. R., at Cincinnati observed it. There: after it became universal in the fit*************"k******************t North. There is a Memorial day for the Confederate dead in nearly all the Southern states, although no single day is observed by all. For instance, April 26 is observed in Ala- bama, Flerida, Georgia and Missis- sippi, while ‘the Carolinas observe May 10, and the second Friday in May is the day in Tennessee. In some of the border line states two days are observed, and in others the exercises for both Union and Con- federate dead have been combined in one event. PLEASE DON'T PUBLISH. Every day we are presented with the request, “Please do mot publish anything about it.” Sometimes it is made in the form of a request and other times in the form of a demand, accompanied by threats of dire results if acquiecence does not follow. The following are a few things, the Louisville Herald says, the pub- lic ought to keep in mind in the mat- ter of the newspaper’s relation to news: In the first place a newspaper owes an obligation to its whole circle of readers to print a fair, comprehensive report of the day’s happenings. it cannot overlook this responsibility merely to please individuals. That injustice involves an injustice to the many and favoritism to the few. Who shall be favored? Much of the news that is printed unfortunately occasions annoyance and often heartache to somebody. That is an unavoidable incident of the newspaper business. Is there jus- tification for shielding from such con- sequences the man or woman who has influence, socially or in business, while the many who lack it must be treated without such consideration? Persons who wish to escape public- ity, should be careful not to make news, or should count the cost of ad- vertisement to the world as‘part of the price they must pay for what they have determined upon doing. There are certain easily defined zones of publicity. The individual who steps into any one of these may count upon getting his name in the newspapers. One is the courts, civil and criminal. The man who goes to law invites advertisement. Yet many men—and sometimes women—appeal to a newspaper to suppress reports of legal proceedings in order that they may be saved annoyance. The time to consider immunity is before resort to law. Departure from the conventionali- ties of life is another means of enter- ing the publicity zone. Conduct that is off the beaten trail affords news. Those who defy social observances or tread upon established institutions must not espect to escape print, and should not ask to be saved from such notoriety. Further, much injustice may ' be done by the suppression of news. The tongue of gossip, uninformed of the real fact, can do a hundred times more injury to the innocent than pub- lication of the truth will do to those actually involved. Often a newspa- per is shielding the reputation of sus- picion when it is telling the truth about one who has incurred the lia- bility to censure. A newspaper, with a sense of re- sponsibility, will exercise a certain discrimination. There may be times and circumstances that justify sup- pression. Some happenings may in the reporting of them serve no proper end. Of two things the responsible mnewspaper will be jealously careful, the good name of a woman and the reputation of a financial institution. Both are of that delicacy to be easily hurt. The good name of a woman is a treasure beyond price, and a cloud cast upon the reputation of a trust C. G. JOHNSON AUTO LIVERY Day Call 581-W Night Call 472 Huffman & O’Leary !

But this lesson the piublic should learn—the way to avoid publicity«is’ to avoid departure from the beaten track; and let this be added to it—if you have diverged into thé 'dangew zone, the way to obtain considerate treatment is to'assume that you areia; subject for news, and to takethe| newspapers into your confidence frankly and fully. Such confidence is rarely abused, and assuredly never by any newspa- per that makes a profession of de- cency or has regard for ethies.
