"Teddy Bear" Mint Juleps.
"One lump of sugar, one tea
spoonful of liquor ami the mint
leaves stirred in with the liquid."
If the testimony of one of the
plaintiff's witnesses in the Roose
velt libel suit against a Michigan
publisher is to be believed, the
above recipe was faithfully fol
lowed by the White House chef
in preparing the favorite drink of
Ex-President Roosevelt.
Again we are informed by an
other witness placed on the stand
by the plaintiff that the ex-president
never mixes his drinks.
These are interesting historical
facts and the Democrat is indeed
glad to learn that Mr. Roosevelt
required only one teaspoonftil of
liquor for his mint juleps. In
common with every other Ameri
can citizen wc are glad to know
that the former president never
mixes his drinks.
The editor of the Democrat
docs not pose as an expert and
therefore wc are not in a position
to say as to whether or not more
than one teaspoonftil of liquor
would have spoiled the mint ju
lep, but we assume that the de
fense will place experts on the
stand to prove if possible that the
president followed an indent and
well established preeedrnt in lim
itinir hi., chef to one teaspoonftil
of John Harleycorn.
Wc have been tol.l, however
by men who we considered ex
perts, that mixing tlrinks is not
only ba I taste but indicates lack
of judgment. It is ci,.imcd that
only a specially constructed tank
will hold mixed drinks without
showing some outwa-d signs of a
capacity load. If this is correct,
the ex-president showed rare dis
cretion. !
The outcome ol the Roosevelt
libel suit against this misguided
and indiscreet Michigan publish
er will be watched with interest
by an anxious and curious public
and certainly afler the evidence
produced by the plaintiff, no
good, true and loyal Hull Moose
will hereafter have tin temerity
to mix his drinks or indulge in
anything stronger than a "teddy
bear" mini julep.
o
Memorial Day.
Today we pay a loving and
tender tribute to the nation's
dead. We do h ir to those who
helped sustain the honor of their
country and who IV I. upon the
field of battle.
Hut we not only do honor to
the military heroes on Memorial
day. We pay tribute to our de
ceased ic!atics ami friends and
upon their graves we place a
flower in token of our never-dv-ing
respect and admiration for
their virtues. Their faults, if anv
they had. are a forgotten mem
ory. When they passed on, their
lillle eccentricities passed on with
them, but iheir kindly deeds,
their helpful words and their
cheeil'nl smile is imprinted indel
ibly upon our memory. We re-j
member the flowers and forget'
the thorns.
I eal!i turns hatred to ashes 1
and blots out from the memory
of man all evil thoughts towards
the one who has passed on to
eternity. I 't ieiiil hip never dies,
the tie of blood is unhi e akaMe.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
NATION'S DEAD
Fitting Ceremonies Mark Ob
servance of Day at Graves
of Departed Heroes.
FLOWERS WILL BESTREWN
ON WATERS OF WILLAMETTE
Special Services at First Pres
byterian Church Will Desig
nate Waning of Day.
With flowers strewn upon the wa
ters of the Willamette river in honor
of the dead sailors and with similar
emblems of respect planted on the
graves of dead soldiers who stood in
the ranks and were shot down or
succumbed to disease, a big pa
rade, special services at the G.
A. R, hall and in churches of the city,
are marking and will bear testimony
of the fact today that Oregonians do
not forget those who fought and died
for their country upon the battlefields
and the seas.
Fitting ceremonies marked the ob
servance at the cemetery where hun
dreds followed the parade. In the af
ternoon the members of the G. A. R.
and the ladies of the Circle assem
bled on the big steel bridge and scat
tered thousands of flowers upon the
waters of the river. In the evening
the old soldiers and their wives will
be the honor guests of the States Re
ception, at the First Presbyterian
church, when impressive services will
mark the waning of the day.
Like a vast column of patriotic
spirit, the big parade was formed on
Ferry street promptly at 10 o'clock
and shortly afterwards proceeded to
the cemetery. Headed by the splen
did Albany High school band, the lo
cal militia company was next in line,
dressed in full dress unform. Nearly
400 school children of Albany and
surrounding places, each dressed in
white dresses and carrying a bouquet
of flowers, occupied the next position
in the column, followed by the Spanish-American
War Veterans who
were accompanied by eight little
misses who acted as flower bearers.
Then followed the old soldiers and
the ladies of Fair Oaks Circle of the
G. A. R. Local automobile owners
kindly donated the services of their
cars for the transportation of the
members of the G. A. R. at the re
quest of the Spanish War veterans.
The rear of the column was brought
up by the different civic organiza
tions of the city, several lodges being
included, and hundreds of citizens of
Albany joined in the rear.
Ritualistic services were held at the
plats at the cemetery of the G. A. R.
and Spanish War Veterans. being
conducted by members of the differ
ent orders. The G. A. R, and Span
ish War Veterans' ceremonies were
exceedingly impressive. The firing
squad of the militia company fired
several volleys over graves of de
ceased soldiers and the bugler sound
