Tribute—and a Pledge On one day in every year this busy, restless na- tién pauses in what it is doing and pays its sincere tribute of respect and devotion to the men who have died in its defense. That day—today—is Decoration Day. It day of memories; a day on which our minds wan- der back to distant wars and half-forgotten battles is ‘a day on which we remind ourselves anew that{ amany thousands of men have found our flag and our homeland so precious that they have willingly died for ‘them. And so, today, we pay our tribute. We do so with the thought that we are, in the only..way possible, doing something for the men who fave fought and died for us. Yet as a matter of fact the homage that we pay today is something that means far more to us than it does to them. The men who gave their lives on the shell-swept slopes of Gettysburg, in the murky tangle of the ‘Wilderness and in the boggy depths of the Argonne Forest do not need our tribute. They have, as we eput it, gone to their reward, and there is little we can do for them. = It is we who are the gainers by what we do to- | -President and Publisher pia a ee | straight, out-and-out newspaper advertisin | spend as much hiring a press a, of public relations” and curnishing him with an of- fice force and a mimcograph with which he can turn | | cut reams of material which it is hoped will get in} | the news columns without cost. | This is an era of publicity, it is true.

These same seekers after free publicity would not think for a moment of going into a gro-} cery store and asking the proprietor to give them outright ten pounds of sugar, yet they will ask al newspaper proprietor to give them its equivalent! , and will be insulted if they do not get it. The Silk Hat Brigade From London comes a rare bit of news and one that provides the germ of an idea for America, an| idea that might perhaps save thousands cf lives. The idea is to wear a high silk hat to avoid being run down by automobiles. The London dispatch declares that silk hats are the best insurance against being run over by a mo- tor car in a London traffic jam and offers logical arguments to prove it. Bus and taxi drivers gen- erally regard the stovepipe hat as the insignia of a noble lord and no self-respecting driver could dream of running down such a superior person, The mere fact that bank clerks and messengers | wear high silk hats far more frequently than do} | the noble lords has not dimmed the lustre of the old tradition and in the swirl at Picadilly Circus | and Trafalgar Square traffic cops always halt traf | fic for members cf the high hat brigade. It is, even said that/in less congested districts where there are no traffic policemen, the drivers them- | selves halt for the magical silk hat. ;_ All very well for England, where they have had lords and all that sort of thing for the humble taxi | driver still to venerate, but in America what can | we do about it?’ We very much fear that the per-| | son who dons a high silk hat and tries to stun traf- fic at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street in New York, cr Michigan Boulevard in Chicago, will find | himself a target instead of an object of respect jand, deference.

They left for us memories of | -——— heroism and self-sacrifice, of gallant manhood and sopen-handed courage; and we, remembering, are! better for it. But it is not the dead alone who give us these noble memories. Today there pass in review be- fore us, not only the dim wraiths of the men who fell at Chancellorsville, at Shiloh, at Santiago, at =Belleau Wo¥d and at Cantigny; with them, inter- mingled, are their comrades, who fought beside “them, but who lived to fight and serve again. These men, still alive, are men to whom we owe “a <great debt. They have served us doubly; what- ever we can do to repay that debt is our duty and ‘nothing less. i We will pay that debt. We cannot do anythine else. The men who have defended us may rest as- sured of that. Today, drinking again of the in- ‘spiration that is given us by the mighty parade ‘ef living and dead, we may pledge ourselves once more to its full payment. : ‘Animal Tuberculosis The progress made in recent years against the ravages of animal tuberculosis has been truly re- ‘markable. This malady represented an immense money loss each year to the American farmer and, in addition, the condition was a vital menace to the health of the entire country. Even now, despite ‘the progress already made, it would take $100,000- 000 to wipe out animal tuberculosis in this country. Great, however, as is that cost, the amount of imoney is indeed small compared to the loss that would be suffered if money were not available for ‘the present campaign against the disease. In ‘1917 the disease was causing a loss of about $40,000,000 fa year, and if the disease had been allowed to go .on and spread at the rate it was then going, no Sone could estimate what the eventual loss would -have been. By now the yearly loss would have Sprobably exceeded the total of the amount neces- sary to wipe it completely out. The participation of the federal government in the work of combating this cattle disease has been Zeminently right and proper. Disease observes no jstate boundaries and wherever such a situation ex- is ists it is only right and proper for the federal au- sthorities to step in and work with the various states | “to fight it. It will be ngcessary from time to time |: for the federal government to appropriate perhaps “vast sums for the continuation of this work, but it jis well worth the cost, not only in avoiding a vast “yearly money loss, but for the benefit the human =population will derive from disease-free cattle. Em- “inent authorities have stated that the’ bovine tu- gbercle bacilli is not intrinsically less virulent for man than the human tubercle bacilli. = Thus, while we may rejoice in the Progress made “so far in the control of this disease, we must also jolve to prosecute the affair even more vigor- ously, with effort and money, and wipe, the disease altogether, ? ‘ Free Publicity 3 This is an age of free publicity.

And only yesterday Will- mar, like every other town of its size in the north, could turn out rank upon rank of blue-clad veter- ans on Memorial Day. But now the time is finally here when Willmar’s Grand Army Post is but a memory, and when the Grand Army Post of many another community has become in reality a Last Man’s club, and with only! the last man left of all the lusty old fellows who | formerly got together regularly to keep alive the} fire-baptized friendships of field and camp.

Yet it is noticeable that every public man, | every member of a party committee, every editor who has a talk with the president, comes away fair- ily bubbling over with ideas about a third term.; | They all say that Mr. Coolidge did not refer to it} jor discuss it, but in some mysterious way it lies at {the top of their minds as they emerge from the | presidential presence. And slowly, it would appear, a new form of tactful approach to a third term is being worked out. The thing was innocently given away to the Washington correspondents by a newspaper man from Tacoma. He describes the pressure for «| third term as coming wholly from the side of the people. They are showing signs of rising up to} demand that Mr. Cooldige serve another term,| whether he wants to or not. They will, as it were, soon descend upon him in a body, seize him, and issue orders to him to accept another nomination Thereupon he, “as a good soldier,” is counted upon| to obey, however much against the grain it goes with him personally. This, it will be seen, is an ingenious reversal of hea thp conception of a soldier president and a third . One reason why a third term for President Grant was feared by many was that he had been a soldier. The idea of a military color giver Presidency was distastefpl.

It_will be remémbered that wood alcohol seems also to have a special affinity for the optic nerve, and that it also produces blindness. Illuminating gas contains another important poison, carbon monoxide, which “is responsible for sudden death when it is inhaled from the exhaust of motor. cars in a closed garage. In 1882 an investigator an- nounced that he had discovered changes in the brain following po! soning with carbon monoxide and recently numerous instances have been described in which such poison- ings have resulted in serious disturb- ances of. the brain. In addition to mental disturbances, this poison may also result in blind- ness and in producing changes of great seriousness in the blood. It would be possible to list dozens of other poisons which produce ser- ious changes in the body when they include all of the combinations of the coal tar deri ‘ives, many of the poisons developed in the war industry, particularly in the manufacture of powder and ben- zine and its deri Benzine causes dangerous changes in the blood, and it is a question whether any system of ventilation can possibly control the fumes of benzine.
