Never a day passes but what Ec Thacker, of the Monticello Journal, refers to the beauty of the Tippecanoe river and how fortunate the people of White county are for living in such. a beautiful snot. After viewing Ed’sr-ivea' and the beautiful scenery of White nounty we can’t blame him in the least for continually harping about it. A visit along the banks of the Tippecanoeihscloses some of ’the real beauty spots of the state. Deputy'Sheriff John Robinson and City Clerk Morlan took down the old flag from the court house flag pole this morning. The flag was put up several weeks ago and the ropes became so tangled that it was impossible to get it down again. It was in a terrible condition, having been badv torn and knotted by_ the winds. It was quite a'task' fo'get it down and took the two men to remove it. A flag was put up this morning and is 15 by 30 feet. - .. ’

Japan Hoards Gold to Build Up Resources.

Field Marshal Count Japanese premier, has told the perfectural government that the accumulation of gold by Japan should be employed in developing the domestic weath and in strengthening the«foundatiQh of Japan’s resources in international exchange. The premier said the war threatened to involve the whole world. The participation of the United States, he declared, was particularly satisfactory to Japan, “because it materially strengthened the ties of interest binding Japan and America.” Field Marshal Terauchi said he believed the political change in Russia was seriouslyimportant but that it did not affect Russia’s hostile attitude toward the common enemy. ,

Comedy Drama Pleased Audience At Ellis Theatre Monday Night.

* _ —. —.. -jr-T The comedy-drama, “Hearts and Diamonds,” as presented last night at the opera house by the senior, class of the high school, was very favorably received by the audience. Among the cast of characters were the old time heroine and villain, and comedy character sketches. The first and last acts were primarily the heroines and villains and the second and third acts gave “Sis” and “Bub” their opportunity. As is usual, the character sketches, “Sis” and “Bub,” elicited from the audience more applause than their more staid fellow actors. However, aH acquitted themselves creditably. The performance as given last evening will be repeated tonight and all who did not see the play last nio-iit will have the opportunity this evening.

MEMORIAL DAY.

A half century has erased much pf the memory bf the horrors of that mighty conflict fought by the Blue and the Gray. The loss of life and property and the suffering of both North and South cannot be realised by this generation. To us the 30th day of May is a time to revere the memory of those who offered and the many who their lives that a government of the people, by the*people_and for the people should not perish from the earth. '■ - - ■ We gather into the silent - city of the dead and look again into faces of the few who are still sirred to us and by words of mouth say to that we will ever remember their valor and that the great principles which they held so sacred snail ever be thvery foundation stones upon whicii the 4 great structure of national government shad ever stand. We holo so sacred this precious day and we are anxious that the comrades stu with us shall be assured that i| shall ever be so. With love and devotion we place the flowers upon the resting place of their dear comrades ' who nave preceded them to that great field into which all the hosts of right are

being mobilized. We cannot express the depth oi ougratitude to you, dear loving comrades, of that glorious conflict. Words are dumb, flowers cannot speak, song and martial music cannot express tne sentiment we would fain convey to you. But we pledge you that those institutions which you protected shall ever be kept sacred and at home, at school, at church and in the state. We shall so live that everything that we do and say and all that we Hfe7' may be a testimony of the righteousness of the cause in which you fought and won. . . of"thatmighty host no memorial day has been so significant as the 30th day of May, 1917. For at this time we are at war with the greatest force ever arrayed in battle. The cause of liberty has been challenged and the most tremendous conflict of all time is now on. Battle lines have been extended from a few miles to hundreds of miles, armies of a few hundred thousands have been augmented to millions. The conflict is no longer confined to the surface of the earth; deep- trenches have been dug, the air above is full of battles and beneath the waters of the sea ruthless war wages. Hell has turned loose and the devil is enjoying a holiday. Prussian autocracy threatens the liberty of the whole world. That this mighty hoard of savages may be beaten it is necessary that the great nation that has been baptized in the blood of liberty should join with the forces of right and again in the name of humanity go forth to do and if needs be die for the of freedom. And as God was on your side in those awful days from 1861 to 1865, lieve that freewill again smile on the Stars and Stripes 'aflt that the blessings enjoyed by this grea^flaUo ll will be extended to the people of the wliofe world.
