IN MEMORIUM As years ago. af terthe war which tested and fused the union of these States, so now in our time the thirtieth day of May is the day of remembrance. We set it aside to mark our respect for the American soldiers and sailors whose own stories ended abruptly in order that our common story might be continued. In token of that respect, we must all stand for a moment, in person or in spirit, by the graveside of one who sleeps at Arlington. They keep calling him the Unknown Soldier. Yet, if there be anything in the law of averages, we know a good deal about him. If there be any force in the doctrine chances, we can all of us make a pretty shrewd guess at what he was like. We saw him often enough. In the training camps we saw him. We heard him laughing on the transport, stood next to him in line at many a mess hour and passed him as he trudged along kilometer after kilometer of white French roads. He was young, wasn't he? Not more than twenty-two or three, probably. He was a continuous source of shock to the more pious of his Y. M. C. A. guardians. He smoked cigarettes and was given, at times, to hair-raising profanity, by which he meant exactly nothing. He had a vague suspicion that the French shopkeepers were overcharging him and more than a vague suspicion that the French housekeepers did not know much about plumbing. But he respected the little hairy French soldiers and he loved the French kids, who reciprocated. When everything went smoothly, he filled the air with his bitter complaints of the high-handedness and unfairness of the Army, the Army, the democratic Army. Complaints of th Q. M. 's hopeless incompetence. Complaints of the rotten French weather. But when things went badly, when he was cold and wet and empty and tired beyond all telling why, then he made it a point of honor to get off a constant stream of jokes and to laugh

like a fool over such things as the mud he lived j

in, the rations that didn't arrive, the sleep he never expected to be ablest get, and the shells that pounded and roared him, making a nightmare of his days. He was a sport and he was chivalrous, as all knew whose work took them through the ambulances and dressing-stations four years ago this time. When he was shot, his first thought was for the folks back home, to shield them from worry on his account. It was never for himself. Unknown? Not at all. Nameless, perhaps. But not unknown. Not those of us who saw him that mad, history-making summer of 19l8-in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps. American Legion Weekly.

HE HAS LEARNED NOTHING. The Prince of Wales is on the last leg of his return from India and the Far East and with the completion of his trip he will have covered pretty much all the habitable earth in his series of travels. These trips have been taken to acquaint him with the empire he is probably to rule. It has beem a personal view of the faraway dominions and at the same time he has had a look at other nations whose peoples may be either friends or enemies in time to come. While the design of the excursions has been to secure for him first hand information of conditions which face the government there may be a bit of doubt whether all that might be desirable in that line is his, now that he is returning. It is difficult for one occupying the position of the heir to the British throne to get accurate information on any subject where there may be reluctance to acquaint him with the facts. All is not harmony in the lands over which the British flag floats yet we doubt not that the prince was given little opportunity to secure direct information from the masses who are dissatisfied with conditions. The nature of his position and the protection of his person precluded such an opportunity. Those with whom he talked naturally would minimize unfavorable conditions in their own interest. , If a ruler could go about unknown and talk with those he governs in the manner ascribed to some of the caliphs doubtless he would learn many things that he could otherwise never know. The more lofty one's position the harder it is to learn the viewpoint of the masses. The Prince of Wales may have learned much but there are many things which would be of value which he is not permitted to know. It is human nature to wish to suppress that which is pleasant and we doubt not that that policy in large degree was pursued by those who came in contact with the British heir on his travels.

IF WHAT he wants is a lot of publicity, Gene Debs has changed to the wrong pen."

AS TO ONE DEMPSEY The Douglas County Legionaire gives a space to the following reference to Jack Dempsey. The newspapers are carrying stories and pictures of Jack Dempsey's departure for Europe, where he is going presumably to look for fights. It sometimes pays to wait. Had he gone four years ago he probably would have been in the hold on "G" deck; today he travels first-class; four years ago he would have worn a cumbersome life preserver, today he can sleep with no fear of submarines; four years ago his visit to the trenches would have been followed by hardships, discomfort and perhaps sickness and death; today if Jack Dempsey visits the trenches in France, and standing on the ground where our comrades fell, draws up that bulky frame of his and exclaims to his companions, "My countrymen stopped the Boche," the cry from the spirits who keep vigil over the poppycovered fields of Flanders should penetrate to the soul of even Jack Dempsey. Still, the heroic allies are extending this sublimited bounder the same delirious ovation which is given him -by the fat-heads of America. Human nature appears pretty much alike the world over. Dempsey, the incarnation of brute force, animal cunning, and low cowardice is feted, dined, and wined while modest heroes who faced death upon the battle fields, which Dempsey dodged, are shoved aside or quietly ignored, says the Fort Wayne News.

SOMEWHERE ALONG the course of the investigation into who ordered the six million sets of riding spurs during the war there may appear the reason why they put them on aviation officers.

PLAIN NERVE will not always take the place of efficiency in holding down a job.

MR. HARDING'S point is that if business is right at home it will be at home abroad.

A POEM OF MASTICATION. A I feel real sad you have to go, 'f j I am bo used to you now; You're not the best, but still it's so, I feel real sad you have to gc. It troubles me and I'd like to .know. Without my teeth, how will I chow ? I feel real sad you have to go, I am so used to you now. Bill Netch. . e ' w Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone, won't have one In his house. We often wonder if there is a phonograph in Edison's home. e e e . Secretary Mellon is working on a new and more accurate tkx-col-lecting system. The old one is thorough enough for us. No drycleaner could do better. Mr. G. B. Shaw does not believe in sending men to prison as it only makes them worse. Perhaps he is right. It might be a good plan to E resent every murderer and burglar and thug with a block of U. S. teel preferred, a town car, a limousine and an estate 4n the country. ee.ee It took the inventor eight years to'perfect the cotton gin and even then it wasn't a good drink. , So far as prices are concerned, we may as well prepare ourselves for a late fall. e STATISTICS. Only 12 per cent of the people who indulge in laughter know that it consists in the blood which comes from the right cavity of the heart, through the arterial vein, and inflates the lungs suddenly and in various repetitions, forcing the air they contain to leave them with impetuosity thiouirh the windpipe. Fifteen per cent of the people who indulge in tears are sincere. Tears do not come from extreme sadness, but only from moderate sorrow. Every husband should know this. Ninety-five per cent of the people love to indulge in mockery, but hate to be "mocked" against. Only 3 per cent of the people can drive by in a Buick and pass a Rolls-Royce without feeling envy. They have no reason for this if they only knew it. Marcel Steinbrugge. e e e e The disappearance of pajamas and general adoption of the oldfashioned nightshirt will remove the pep from latter-day fiction and drama and will make hotel fires so humdrum that they will hardly bo wcrth mentioning in newspapers. Our idea of nothing in particular to look at is a Bolshevik delegate to Genoa in a plug hat. e e The Chicago Grand Opera company has had its regular blowup and Ilary has handed in her weekly resignation. All's well with the opera world. Cable report says Americans will build the biggest hotel in Paris. But they have also built most of them that are there now. . At least Borah is not a synthetic senator. He has a well-definedi kick.
