fulfill this duty? Will we neglect to "join with them, bear their sorrow and grief? - No day in the whole year ought to be so sacred and provocative of patriotism as Memorial Day. The whole nation ought to lay aside its worries and cares and ponder its significance. What a wonderful result would follow if every man, woman and child in the United States, tomorrow, would spend just fifteen minutes thinking about his nation, his flag, his own personal responsibility, his duty to the city, the state and country. . - -

Memorial Day. Text: "The old soldiers are passing from the sight of a people to whom they had been an inipiration and a pride for more than a generation. Is there any one to grudge full meed of praise and comfort for the few who still remain?" r What a sermon could be preached on that fcext. A subject that ought to thrill every patriot to the marrow and make him proud of the country he calls his own and the flag he describes as the purest in the world. Why pay tribute tomorrow to the Boys in

Blue? Why join them in the solemn honor they

pay their departed comrades ? Why unite in the

lofty sentiments of the hour? Because it is a sacred duty of old and young Jo keep green the deeds of the nation's defenders. The men whose graves are decorated tomorrow were put to the test fifty years ago, and they proved to themselves and to the nation that they were worthy of being called CITIZENS and Americans. Their's was not ,the cheap and mawkish patriotism that yells loud and long when a spellbinder makes a passionate appeal. Their's was the conviction of men that the Nation must be "saved, the blot of slavery wiped off the flag, the honor of the Nation vindicated, so that a land of the free might in reality be a land of free men. ; ' ' Their's was not the patroitism that in an hour of grave national peril stands, on the street corner and expatiates on America's duty. Their's Was the brand of patriotism that believes the word should be backed by the deed, that patriotic -expressions must be substantiated by patriotic acts. The old soldiers tomorrow pay homage to men Vrhose memories they cherish. Must they alone

Prison Reform in China. This month's issue of The Century contains

an article descriptive of changed conditions in China. One of the notable observations is that pertaining to the treatment of inmates of the Peking prison. The system is based on the humanitarian1 principle that a prison is a place where defective members of society should receive treatment that will make them desirable citizens when they have completed their terms. As a result, prisoners are taught trades and in such environment and with such treatment that the men return to society able to earn their living. But the work does not stop there. A labor bureau is maintained and' prisoners as soon as

they leave are assigned to a job. This prevents their drifting back into evil ways and gives them an opportunity to start life anew and under favorable circumstances. The change of attitude in penal reform in China comes as a pleasant surprise. ' The United States is so accustomed to hearing tales of cruelty inflicted upon Chinese prisoners that one

at first doubts the credibility of an account suchl

as Century prints.

WILLIAM LITTLE LEAVES PITTSBURG

Rushville and Connersville. A hurried visit to these cities impresses one with the progress and achievements that have been accomplished there. Next to Richmond, they rank among the largest cities in the Sixth district. Both have miles of permanently improved streets, the business houses and residences reflect a spirit of prosperity and progress. Their citizens seem to be keenly alive to the possibilities in their own communities and are forging ahead under favorable circumstances. Both cities are to be congratulated on their progress.

BRADSTREET REVIEWS BUSINESS CONDITION FOR LOCAL TRADES

Bradstreet's review of trade for Richmond and vicinity for last week will say: The wholesale hardware market is steady. Prices slishtly advanced in structural iron and steel. Collections are better than last month. Building

activity has caused a demand for builders, hardware and glass, which

makes material hard to get.

Retail trade brisk during past ten

days and purchases show a trend

toward high grade wearing apparel.

Collections are good. ! ; Season is Quiet.

: Manufacturers of agricultural Im

plements quiet owing to mid-season.

Auto builders rushed and no deliver

ies promised before July 1.

- Crop conditions In this vicinity are

very good except in some localities

where corn wiU be late.

' - Banks report demand for loans light

just now. - CINCINNATI.

- There is no material change in the

coal market over previous week. Con

tracts are being closed at about the

usual figures, the mines in general be

ing supplied with orders and occasion

ally a mine on account of some embargo at the lake or some other temporary reason, may have some coal to offer over and above their booked commitments. While some of the dealers and manufacturing plants have a good stock of coal on band, quite a

number are in the market for additional tonnage.

Dealers in hardwoods report a light

demand and stock moving slowly

Building lumber and materials are decidedly more active with the advent

of warmer weather and prices are well maintained. Manufacturers and dealers in engines and electrical apparatus report sales hold up and prospects are considered favorable. Collections are fair. In machine tool lines labor conditions continue to show gradual Improvements. Founderies report doing large ..business with no immediate prospects of slacking up. Industrial conditions in general are reported as satisfactory with a decided improvement "in deliveries la some lines. Whiskey is in only fair demand and although more sales have been made this week, business is not satisfactory. Alcohol continues in urgent demand principally for export. Jobbers not a better demand due to settled weather conditions throughout central and southern states. Retail trade is good and mail order business bouses continue to report a satisfactory trade. Call loans 3 to 4 per cent. Time loans 4 to 5 per cent. Commercial loans 4 to 6 per cent.

Rain, rain (not exactly beautiful just now), go away at least until after the races. Yep, we're going to enjoy the races, but it's going to be by bulletin lots. What's the need of any local news tomorrow, with a murder trial, the European war, the Villa frolic and race news all coming in over the wire? April showers were in vogue again yesterday. The wets at Hagerstown at least had their wishes in one way Saturday for the town was wet most of the day, owing to heavy rains. Had any spring chicken yet?

Rare Happenings. Warm weather and large audiences at churches. Bobby wants to know if the length of the speedway race was cut down this year because of the high cost of gasoline. It's 23 cents a measure, and still going higher. Most of the tourists who have been going through here on the way to Indianapolis seem to be trying to get as far as possible before the gas runs out. Old Dobbin has received another death blow in Wayne county, with the coming of tractors on some farms. What will the hired hands do for an excuse to stop on the corner after every round "to let the horses rest?"

J Hulda, and there is a slight hope of

her recovery. Hulda and Captain Olaf Erickson have been sweethearts for some time. It is a matter of gossip that the only reason they have not been married is because Olaf lost his ship. The doctor- informs the invalid that there is some chance of her recovery provided they can get a certain costly wine, and Hulda decides to sacrifice even her dearest possessions to secure this for her sister.

aside, comes in the most dramatic

scene in this powerful play. Miss Paula .Shay and Everett Butterfield are the dual stars 6f this daring sex photo-drama, supported by an exceptionally strong cast, including Minna Phillips, James Cooley and Little Kittens Reichart, who was recently seen here in "A Fool's Revenge."
