WHY WE KEEP Memorial Day is
THE DAY APART not a holiday.
It is not a celebration. Nor is it a
day of mourning, as some would have
it believed. It is unique upon the
calendar as a day for meditation, in
trospection and new resolves.
Formerly May 30, was a day of gen
eral mourning. Then the pendulum
ofTmblic opinion swung to the other
extreme, and the day was regarded
as a holiday. But now it has come
to be regarded as a day apart from
all other special days of this nation,
as a brief season when from the ashes
of past sorrows, a hope for a new and
greater future is to rise phoenix-like.
And this is the light in which the
day should really be regarded.
To those who lost fathers, hus
bands, brothers or other kin in the
great war, Memorial Day must nat
urally have more of sorrow in it than
for those of the later generation, to
whom the honors of a really ghastl
war have never been brought home.
But to all the day must also partake
of a national season of review, of con
sideration of the past, and of individ
ual propbcy of the future. And,
with all respect to the soldier and
sailor dead whose memory is cherish
ed upon this occasion, this is really
as it should be, and as the heroes of
the great battles fought to save the
nation would wish it were they alive
at the present time.
The Civil War, the great conflict
wMch was responsible for the found
ing of Memorial Day custom, was a
conflict of righteousness. It was not
entered into by either North nor
South for gain or for conquest. The
North turned against its brothers in
the South because it felt that the
union of the states was endangered,
and because it felt that slavery
should not exist in the land of the
free. Dixieland, on- the other hand,
went into the great struggle from mo
tives equally as unselfish, and as
seemingly justifiable from the South
ern point of view. The South, through
long familiarity and custom, saw
nothing in slavery but the doctrine
of chattel ownership, and in its aba
donment it saw only ruin and confis
cation. The South, filled with the
same spirit of freedom that had made
its leaders valiant in the struggle
againt England in colonial days, be
lieved in the doctrine of state's rights.
The conflict of ideas brought on the
more sanguinary conflict of brothers
of one race.
Both sides fought valiantly, en
dured hardship, made noble sacri
fices. After four long and bitter
years, the North won its contention.
In the years that have followed the
South has seen that it was in the
wrong, and bitterness has given away
to other feelings. While the original
dispute might have been settled in
other ways, at the time it seemed
that only through battle was honor to
be satisfied; and honor was satisued.
The war, however, left thousands o
homes in the North and the Soutj
desolate,, and out of this desolation
grew the first spirit of Memorial Day.
Now the wounds of this desolation
have healed. There is no North nor
South in the sense of former years;
and in the obliteration of the old bor
der line has come to pass also the ob
literation of the bitterness of 1861.
In its place has come the thought
that these United States are the
homes of a people who love freedom,
who believe in equality, and who are
ever striving for betterment. To the
people of today Memorial Day is a
sacred time; a "time for prayerful
' thougnt of the past and for the fu
ture. By the blood that flowed on
the fields of the war there has been
cemented a fellowship that is nation
wide in the cause of freedom and al-
. vancement, and those who shed their
life-fluid that this might come about
are regarded as devoted soldiers in
the cause of right, no matter upon
which side they fought. They gave
their all that a great question might
be settled," and that the United States
might continue its history unbroken
as the greatest nation of the world.
They died that we might get our her
itage, costly and sanctified by the
sacrifices of hundreds of thousands
of men and women.
. What more fitting, then, that Miem
orial Day should be a festival of both
honor and hope honor for those who
by their bravery and nobility in the
past have made the present possible;
and hope that the future may be kept
as bright as the ideals of the squad
rons of Blue and Grey? What more

fitting than today, -In honoring the
dead, we should also take thought cf
the morrow, and so shape and plan
our actions and our intentions that
the great work of preservation Of
the union may be continued into a
work of continuing the union and
perfecting its progress? Surely this
is both tribute to the heroes, and wis
dom for the present. Memorial Day
should be to each one of us the timo
to pause nd think deeply; it should
be a time to consider the cost of our
present greatness, and to ask our
selves if we are doing our duty by the
past in making today worthy of the
men and women who gave us our
heritage of undivided freedom.
Memorial Day is a time of hope; it
is an occasion when the glory and
nobility of the souls who risked all in
battling for principle should be re
flected onto the present, and should
show, in white and pure light, the
steps to be taken in the future to
maintain unblemished the destiny
and the greatness-of the union. It is
a day when each citizen can do noth
ing better or more fitting than to
search his or her soul, and cast out
therefrom all pettishness, all dishon
or, all tawdry littleness, and resolve
to be in thought and action a true
American a loyal American who can
reach back across the years and greet
the heroes of 1861-65 with open smil
ing face, and say:
' "You died to give me what I have,
hereafter shall my life and my devo
tion to the needs of my country prove
to you how deep is my appreciation
of the life you laid down for the na
tion your nation and my nation."
GIVE BACK THE FLAGS;
TWINE NEW WREATHS
NEW heroes come to claim applause
And bask in worldly glory.
To hear the people's glad huzzas
And shine in song and story.
Past wrongs appear as present rights.
Old scores and hates are buried.
And always unto fairer heights
The Bons of men are hurried.
But rich In honor still they stand.
And bright their pages shine.
Who fought for their God given land
And siived your land and mine.
We may forgive, we may forget
The wrongs which rent asunder'
The bonds that should have bound and let
Ebcape the cannon's thunder.
I greet my father's foeman's son
As trusted friend and brother
Our sires met with aword and gun;
We clasp hands with each other '
But, though the wrongs are worn away.
There still are wreaths to twine
For them that suffered In the fray
For your dear land and mine
The scara are healed upon the trees
That felt the shock of battle;
The ruts arf. smoothed upon the leas
Where graxe the peaceful cattle.
Oh, let the tattered emblems go!
Give back each Mag and token
That tells of brave hearts plunged in woe
And Knightly spirits broken.
But ever while brave hearts beajt true.
And sun and stars shall shine
Fresh laurels for the heroes who
Bayed your proud land and mine!

The Sphinx.
The word sphinx is from the Greek
and means the strangler and was ap-.
plied to a fabled creature of the Egyp
tians which had the body of a lion, the
head of a man or an animal and two
wings attached to its sides. In the
Egyptian hieroglyphs the sphinx sym
bolized wisdom and power united. It
has been supposed that the fact that
the overflow of the Nile occurred when
the sun was In the constellations Leo
and Virgo gave the idea of the com
binations of form in the sphinx, but
this idea seems quite unfounded. In
Egypt the reigning monarch was usual
ly represented in the form of a sphinx.

Exorcising Disease.
Very curious methods were em
ployed by the ancient Babylonians to
exorcise disease. The sucking pig and
kid played an important part in the
remedies. The pig or kid was to be
killed, cut up and placed upon the sick
man. The heart of the pig. which had
been placed upon the sick man's heart,
was to be held by him. and the pig's
heart was to be as bis heart, the blood
as. bit blood, tbe Uesb as bis flesh, and
the pig was to be in his stead. The
kid was dealt with in the same way.
