PAGE EIGHT TODFORP MATT, TRrBTimq, MEPIfORP, OR.KOON, SATURIUY,.Or'rOmOR. , 1912. tf m ' AUSTIN TELLS OF HISTORY OF MAUSOLEUMS In telling nhuut the modem com mniiity ninu&oleuius, its origin in Amciicu mill its growth Senator Aus tin told in any interesting tilings and showed pictures on the bcroou to il lntinic his lecture ns lie went nloug. Among the fcounlor's hlidcs arc quite n number of Crater Lake nu the geographical society's trip up there this summer. Those pictures will be shown nil tluough the cast ns well as on this const. In speaking of the lake last night the senator said "it's wonderful, nothing else can express it." Some of tho remarks of the sena tor's lecture on "The Better Way" were as follews: Mere cemeteries nre nt best only temporary burial places. Within ten yenrs 200.000 dead have been distutbed in the city of Philadelphia alone. In instances now of court record, 18,000 dead were re moved nl tho contract price of 09 cents ench, and 12,000 dend were re turned from another location nt one dollar each, und the question may suggest itself to you, "what kind of n reinterment could bo secured at ft dol lar n body, or CD cents, when the grave was to be opened and a tomb stone or monument to be carted a lone distance nnd a new grave made?" Vet this is jutt what has been doen all over this land of ours, and a great dent more of it will be done in the near future. Do not think that the country graveyards or the cemeteries in the smaller towns nre lcs subject to neglect and dese cration than they arc in the large citicK it is quite tho order of things everywhere. The community idea of the ccmc icry 's put under roof nnd behind stone walls and bronze grates in the community mausoleum. Nobody seems to object to the community idea in the graveyard, though it be still more common nnd less exclusive, but there the holes in the ground, the foliage nud flowers, the grass and shrubbery enfold tjll, hide all, the mold, the damp, the frost nnd the decay, all beneath the sod, nud out of sight, out of mind and heart, while in the community mausoleum a snow-white tomb, marble corridors, sunlight and flowers, dry end habit able in tho winter ns in the summer, no mud, no rain, no exposure, no suggestion or uncanny thought of the grave or its horrors, plain enough lor tho humblest, exclusive enough for tho richest, beyond the each of tho careless or (ho wilful and for- ever cunrded bv innsd uullu mull strong doors against tho invasion of the greedy, and by the strong arm of, tho law ngnuist the vnmlnlisin of nil 1 the future, renders the tomb in a coin- niunity mausoleum today, as it did' under Pericles and und the Caesars, ' the surest, the most reveientiul and the most religious disposal of the sacred dead. Death is certain, and in the mid.st of life nothiuc should prevent the head of u family from making this wiso provision long before the sug gestion of a great sorrow. It ought to be a blessed privilege to be able to make these sacred arrangements while in health and prosinrity, while tho mind and. heart are fieo to con template the -ways nud means and the place where to establish n funtilv memorial.
