(Official City. State and County Newspaper) fon 3 $s The Real Meaning of Memorial Day Time has a way of healing things and mak- ing sharp outlines less harsh. The slopes of cemetery ridge, outside the fown of Gettysburg, are grass-grown and peaceful. Vicksburg is surrounded by a smil- ing, green® parkway. The woods of Virginia’s wilderness are as quiet as they were before the white men came, and there are no ruined farmhouses or burned barns between Atlanta and the sea. The Civil War has slipped far back into the past. But today, as on every 30th of May, we call it back again; not in all its red, ugly hor- ror, but as a rather picturesque, heroic, roman- tic memory. We do this, we say, in order to pay homage to the men who fought. With it we conjure up scenes from other wars; names like El Caney, Santiago and Manila Bay, some- what overshadowed of recent years by such words as Cantigny, Belleau Wood and Mont- faucon. Yet our reverence to these things seems to be rather a surface matter. We watch the parades and listen to the bands and the orators today; but tomorrow we put it all away and resume the daily routine. Memorial Day stands out to most of us, it is to be suspected, more as a day on which we do not have to work than as a solemn time of remembrance and _ consecration. We need to recapture the solemnity of the original Decoration Day. Perhaps we could do it by bringing back in all their ghastly horror the war scenes that we talk about so glibly to- day. We speak of Gettysburg, for instance, and_our minds picture the splendid pageant of Pickett’s charge; but a man who fought at Gettysburg could give us a different picture. He could show us men disemboweled, torn asundey, trampled under foot, run through with bayonets, smashed to bleeding fragments in that “splendid pageant”; and if we could see the picture as he sees it we might put more spirit into our observance of the day. For the day’s real significance lies in the fact that a great many thousands of men have given up their lives for the sake of that red, white and blue symbol that heads today’s parades. They surrendered their youth, their hopes, their dreams, to die before their time; and they did it for a great ideal. All of the horror, all of the agony, of those battles are part of the price that was paid for the country we have today. Blood and tears and sorrow and pain helped buy the peace and prosperity of Decoration Day, 1928. What should we do, then? Chiefly, we could make our patriotism a little deeper and broader. We could do it by remem- bering the sacrifices that this day commemo- rates; by reminding ourselves that our heri- tage, as Americans, was dearly bought. The freedom and happiness we have today did not come by chance. They cost a great price. We must maintain them. We must be worthy of em. The Lure of Danger The top of Mount McKinley, in Alaska, is be- lieved to be the coldest point on earth. Never-ending winter reigns on this forbid- ding mass of rock and ice. Twenty thousand feet above sea level, close to the inhospitable Arctic circle, the lonely mountain is the very incarnation of stormbound desolation. The winds that lash its barren crags howl unheard; in all recorded time, only three men have climbed to the top. One of the three is Harry Karstens, super- intendent of Mount McKinley National Park. He plans to go back there this year. In 1913, when he and two companions climbed to the top, they left a temperature-recording instrument there. He wants to get it and see just what ex- tremes of cold have gripped the towering peak since his other visit. There is something about extreme hardship and danger that seems to act as a magnet for some men. Peril, loneliness, discomfort—there are men to whom these things are a perpetual challenge. Mount Everest, lofty and uncon- querable in the Himalayas, has entombed on its slopes the bones of many men who gave their lives in an effort to reach the top. The wild Arctic wastes have seen the death of many men who had no good, common-sense reason for going north of the British Isles. We are always told that these men are try- ing to increase the scope of scientific knowl- edge. If Superintendent Karstens regains his thermometer, it is explained, he will add a great deal to what scientists know about the ex- tremes of cold in the Arctic high altitudes, Doubtless this is all very true. But it doesn’t seem to tell the whole story. It is easy to see that the very difficulties and dangers are the real attraction. 4 These frozen wastes are forever beckoning. It is as if their stormbound desolation kept Joy in Work An honest man is entitled to happiness in his work. It is the one sure sign that he has found his true vocation. He greets his work each day with a singing heart and loves his business. Love is the greatest thing in the world, and love for one’s business is as natural as love for one’s family. Indeed, love is the great partner of success in life. There can be no joy without it. The morning tells an intelligent man many things. Generally, it rules his day. If it starts wrong with him, the day is spoiled. A dislike, on the part of a healthy man, for be- ginning the work of the day, is usually an in- dication he is not in the right place. If en- thusiasm does not come in the morning to the business man he may be sure something is radically wrong, whether with his habits, his health, or his occupation. When one wakes in the morning with regret that he must get up and go to work, he may well understand that a vital necessity of suc- cess and happiness is not his, and that it is high time for him to make a change in something— in his diet, his conduct or his vocation—for he certainly is not on the straight road to pros- perity and achievement. Where there is love there is a fair chance of success, because love creates eagerness to do and work and think for the thing loved in order that it may prosper. Those in a job only for the pay envelope, get only that out of their work. The pleasure they derive from the money is short-lived and is seldom renewed by salary in- creases. Employers do not reward with higher pay those who work only for love of money. The Thinning Roll This year Memorial Day will find the pen- sioned veterans of the Civil War reduced to fewer than 80,000. In March 1,283 of them died and April began with the rapidly thin- ning ranks reduced to 79,300. There is now no Civil War veteran on the pension roli under the age of 80 years, so the nation must be reconciled to the loss of most of these venerable and revered survivors during the next decade. From now on the grim reaper will redouble his efforts. Each year the Memo- rial Day roll call of those who have passed away since the preceding May 30 grows longer. It was not until 1898 that the pension roll reached its peak with 745,822 pensioners. Due to added benefits the peak in pension pay- ments—$141,377,515—was not reached until 1923. Since then the decline has been rapid. Pension figures for the Civil war give the nation some idea what the World war will cost it through the veterans’ bureau. The govern- ment is already spending many millions for the care and treatment of disabled veterans, and-if history repeats itself, as it is likely to, the peak of this expenditure will not be reached for two or three decades. The peak pension list for the Civil war did not come until more than thirty years after the war and the peak pension payments did not come until twenty-five years later. The last survivor of the Revolutionary war died April 5, 1869. On May 13, 1905, the last survivor of the War of 1812 died. There are five living veterans of the war with Mexico. Some who served overseas in 1917 and 1918 may outlive the twentieth century. States and Air Travel In all of our crowing over the development of commercial aviation in this country, we seem to have overloo:.ed one thing; the individual states have, with a few exceptions, failed to adopt the proper regulatory laws for planes operating within their borders. Commercial planes operating in interstate commerce can be counted on for safety, both as regards pilots and ships. Federal regula- tions see to that. But many states have no regulations at all. The result is that a great many “flying crates,” as aviators call them, are in service. They are often dangerous ships to ride in, and they account for a great many of aviation’s fatalities. Each state should tackle the problem at once. Commercial aviation is on the eve of a tre- mendous expansion, Proper regulations are urgently needed. | Editorial Comment | Liscsasniudeeapguetermaneneeomeiiiiain’ BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, May 30.—The west, which has bragged so these last few years dbout her supremacy over the east in football, also is able to| talk about the deccadence of eastern Politicians, It is to that, primarily, that Her- bert Hoover owes his excellent chance of being nominated for pres- ident. Mr. Hoover, of course, was born in Iowa and made his home in California. The leading eastern politicians who ought to be dominating the party, or at least the successors of those politicians who always have dominated it and the repre- sentatives of the influences which are the party’s backbone, have failed rather miserably this year in the-attempt. One refers, of course, to such gents as National Chairman Wil- liam M. Butler of Massachusetts, Vice Chairman Charlie Hilles of New York and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon of Pennsylvania. eee Apparently they haven’t the strength or cunning of the old fel-! lows like Penrose, Quay and Mur- ray Crane, None of them wanted Hoover for the party candidate, though Mellon at least now realizes that they may have-to take him. But at that they could have stopped Hoover if there hadn't been such a frightful dearth of stopping material in the eastern states. It was their aie & to find a man who could hold New York, Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts which really allowed Hoov- er to slip into his commanding lead. The time-honored trick, of course. would have been to let an eastern candidate corral the eastern dele- gates, let Lowden round up the middle west and Hoover the Pa- cific coast and whatever else he could find en route. If this scheme had worked Hoover could have been Educating the East (St. Paul Dispatch) It may be unreasonable to expect any great interest in the farm question, much less under- standing of its nature, in the busy commercial centers of the East when the prevailing notion is that St. Paul and Milwaukee are the Twin Cities of Minnesota, that Seattle is a trolley jump from Minneapolis and that Duluth is something like Wisconsin. The delusion has been cherished, however, that at least among the leaders of public life who dominate busi- ness and intellectual spheres of the East, some attention had been given the dgricultural issue during its seven years before Congress. Some signs of awakening there have been, but the conviction grows that in the centers of oppo- sition to farm legislation the issue exists only as some wild and curious vagary which Presi- dent Coolidge can be counted on to suppress. Vice President Dawes has just indicated to a delegation from Minnesota at the Capitol one line of action for farm legislation which has been neglected. This is the education of the East to the needs of farm relief and the objects of the McNary-Haugen bill. There is blind sectionalism and prejudice in much of the opposition that has come out of the East. But far more serious is the indiffer- ence and ignorance among the vast majority in those centers, who have no correct knowledge of what the present movement means or seeks and who would recognize the justness of the cause if it were only presented and under- stood, Vice President. Dawes has been proving him- self one of the farmer’s most valuable friends and valiant champions. His influence and guid- ance at Washington have been priceless in the triumphant course of the McNary-Haugen bill repeating, “We are unconquerable, and the man who tries to conquer us dies”; while some man is always muttering, “Is THAT so?” tight- ening his belt and going up to have a try. It is not true that men can only be attracted by a; to their love of ease and wealth. That is a lie invented by the dollar chasers. wi w men away comf. secur- ig .

No one in American public life is more fitted to bridge the gap between the Republicans of the West and those of the East. He has sympathetic appreciation of Western ideas and he speaks with authority to the business chiefs of the East. The time to awaken the Republicans of the East to a réalization of mid-Western condi- tions is now and not next November when the votés have been counted. If Mr. Dawes could be persuaded to lend his voice, danger that recklessness that can | party harmony may be disrupted at the national convention would be much reduced, held to some 300 delegates, the con- vention would have deadlocked and the bosses could have had their own man, who would have been none oth- er than President Coolidge. eee Coolidge refused to stoop to such trickery.

If faerane one of these vegetables at least should be used with the other non-starchy vegetables at either the protein or starch meals. In many parts of the world, it is practically impossible to secure fresh vegetables at any time, or at least at certain seasons, so I am suggesting either indoor elutivation of some of these, say, Swiss chard, from which the leaves may be brok- en as they become large enough without interfering with the growth of the plant; or, the germination of seeds which can be easily done and is a good substitute for fresh vegetables. Peas, wheat and rye are well suited to this purpose. The Orientals use mung-beans, which sprout in a very satisfactory man- ner, and are handled commercially’ in many markets. ° The process of sprouting is sim- ilar with all types of these seeds.
