THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1919
OHIO ASSEMBLY TO INVESTIGATE PRO-GERMANISM
Resolution . Proposed - to Re
buke Baker for Freeing
Conscientious Objectors.
Carnation Day, Originated by Richmond Man, Observed in U. S.
COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 29 When the
house completed the adoption of Sena
tor whlttemores joint resolution to Inquire Into pro-Germanism In Ohio, the names of the Investigators became
knows.
They probably will be Senators Ake,
ot Stark; Rltter, of Miami, Republicans, and Holl, of Auglaize, Democrat, and Representative Oorell, of Carroll,
and Dunn, ot Wood, Republicans, and
Myers, of Cuyahoga, Democrat. The House gave scant heed to Sena
tor White's Joint resolution to ask the national government to keep troops
away from New York because of Mayof Hylan's appointment of W. R. Hearst on the welcoming committee. Representative Clark said he lacked information about Hearst and asked that the matter be referred to the German Propaganda committee. This was done, with no one defending the resolution. Adopt Minority Report.
VJ<Sft t?3t mJ?7trf Ueat admirer of him as a man and a
"bucking" the roll call, the house ad
opted the minority report on Senator' Kryder's three-cent fare proposition, by which members will be repaid their actual outlay for travel. There will be a sharp contest over the Joint resolution seeking to rebuke Secretary ot War Newton D. Baker for freeing the conscientious objectors. Representative Hooley, of Champaign, today proposed an - Indorsement of the Kansas Legislature's protests against the "mischievous, unwise, unpatriotic and un-American" action. Following a caucus of the Republican majority the Senate passed unanimously the bill authorizing the purchase of the Lindenburg and Kinsel properties In Columbus for an executive mansion, the consideration to be 128,000 in cash and a lot In this city purchased by the Executive Mansion Committee two years ago. Two Fires front Fine Call Oat Local Fire Companies Two roof fires caused by sparks from flues caused the fire department two runs early Tuesday. The house ot Albert Steen, 108 North Twentyfirst street, caught tyre about 1:30 a. m., and the house ot Mrs. Meredith, 110 North Fourth street, caught about 8 a. m. About $10 damage was done in each case. Chief Miller asks that people having flue fires when they call the department say that It is a flue fire, so as to save extra runs by the fighting apparatus of the city. He advises that householders watch their roofs and flues carefully during the cold weather as these fires are likely to jccur at any time.
ARNATION DAY7 observed as a tribute to 1 the late President McKinley, was celebrated over the United States today. Lewis G. Reynolds ot Richmond, who was the founder of the Carnation League ot America, tells
In an article written for the Palladium several -years ago, how. the Idea originated. . The article Is reproduced here. I have often been asked how I came conceive ot "Carnation Day." I have never told the story completely until now. ' f ' I happened to be In Buffalo, N. Y.. on September 14, 1902, the first anniversary of the late president's death, which as 19 well known occurred in that city. The mayor of Buffalo at the Instance ot the city council, had Issued a proclamation declaring Sept. 14, 1902, a legal holiday, requesting the merchants to close their stores and, together with the citizens generally to display flags draped In black, or decorate their places of business and private homes with some Insignia of mourning. . A majority of the business houses and a great number of private residences responded loyally. . Wears First Carnation. I was in the city on business. I had an acquaintance with Mr. McKinley,

Authorities Urge Sailors
to Remain in the Service
PARIS, Jan. 29. American naval
authorities here are doing everything
possible to avoid adding to the number ot unemployed In the United States by retaining in the service every ablebodled sailor who can bo induced to remain. Instructions have been given to discharge no man who does not desire to leave and who has no prospects of employment. Apprehension Is expressed In naval circles that there will be a real shortage of sailors for the navy on this side ot the Atlantic owing to the expectation that a large number will be required to man the German merchant ships which the United States Is to
take over under the terms of the arm
istice. This is the explanation given
for the sudden change In orders to a
number of men who were about to
start for the United States, but are
being held In French ports.

league unless the colony was able to
finance Itself out of its own resources.
While the plan has not progressed to a point where any attempt has been made to assign particular nations to these guardianships, the matter has been the subject of special thought ' and consideration. In the case ot " America, It has been suggested, that owing to its large influence In Turkey through the numerous graduates .of Robert college and because of the conviction among the Turks of the disinterestedness ot America, if It is called upon to assume such charge, it might naturally first take upon itself the guardianship not only of Turkey in Europe but also a considerable portion of Turkey's former provinces, including Armenia. Polish Question Up. Up to this moment the whole project is still subject to complete readjustment. Nevertheless it is felt by some of the delegates that if the league of nations is assured on a basis of freedom of discrimination, the great powers may be willing to abandon their plans for the complete annexation of former German colonies. and separated sections of late enemy states, although opposition is expected from the colonial governments to such a scheme. The supreme council of the peace conference bad before it for consideration on assembling this morning the Polish question and the instructions to be -given the allied mission to Poland recently authorized and about to leave on Its eastward Journey. The program called for the appearance ot Polish and Czecho-Slovak representatives before the council to present , their, views. , : Plies Cured In 6 to 14 Days.

was his favorite flower and' was al-

vv a) a Hcvu ill ciio lapci ul uio tuab whenever the occasion was appropri
ate.
In an effort to enter Into the spirit
ot the local observance of the day In
Buffalo, I went to a florist's, purchased a pink carnation, attached a bit of
black ribbon to it and pinned It in the
button-hole of my coat, little thinking
to what it might lead
My business took me to Tonawanda
and Niagara Falls as well as Buffalo.
Throughout the day I was accosted by scores of persons, utter strangers to me most- of them, who asked the meaning of the flower and the ribbon.
I explained in a few words. Many of
them took up with the idea, doubtless
told others and It spread so rapidly that the stock of carnations In the
three cities was quickly exhausted
On my return to Buffalo in the even
ing, hundreds upon hundreds of the flowers were In evidence, worn not
only by men but women as well. The idea grew upon me as I thought the
more of It and I wondered why It might not be made a National custom.
Explains Carnation Day.
A few weeks later Senator 'Hanna
was In my home city In Ohio as the principal speaker at a political mass
meeting In which I took an fnconspic
uous part. After the meeting the
speakers were entertained at the City
club. I managed to get the senator's
attention for a few moments and ex. plained the idea of "Carnation Day."
The enthusiasm with which he received It was most encouraging. In his
hearty manner and with his quick, al
most instantaneous grasp of a subject, he said: "Capital! Capital! Just the
very thing; so simple and easy to ob
serve and can be taken part in by the old and the young, men and wimen alike. Except In some such simple
way as that it would be difficult to es
tablish a McKinley day. Besides, it is so full of sentiment that it will be peculiarly appropriate as a memorial to William." His voice broke and his
eyes brimmed with tears. He contin
ued: "Just as soon as this campaign ,1s over, a few weeks now, I want you
to come to Cleveland. We will then
talk the matter over at more length
and start is properly." He did not for
get. About ten days after the elec
tion In November, I was invited to come to Cleveland. There I met, by
appointment, Mr. Ryerson Ritchie,
then secretary of the McKinley Memorial Association, which had in band
the building of the mausoleum at Canton, Ohio, and also Mr. Myron T. Her-
rick, later Governor of Ohio, ambassa
dor to France, and now mentioned for high honors. All were enthusiastic on
the proposition. Congress to Chanoe Date.
My original Idea was that "Carnation Day" should be observed on September 14th, the date of Mr. McKinley's death, and if that date were selected there was plenty of time to
consider the matter and not promul
gate the idea until nearer the date of
its proposed observance,
Senator Hanna had evidently men
tioned the matter to other members
of the board of trustees of The Mo
Kinley Memorial Association of which
Mr. Alexander H. Devell of Chicago
was one, and from him came the sug
gestion that the date of birth be se
lected as "Carnation Day," rather
than the date of death. He put his suggestion tersely, thus: "For myself I want to remember that William McKinley lived, not that he died." The suggestion was accepted instantly and
thus it was that "Carnation Day" was
fixed as January 29, instead of Sep
tember 14. But few weeks remained
therefore, to form the plan and decide upon the proper public promulgation of the matter, which was made early in January of 1903. It received the most widespread publicity and the
first "Carnation Day, January 29
1903, the sixtieth anniversary of Mr,
McKinley s birth was observed with
great unanimity throughout the coun
try and by Americans all over the world. Letters and clippings were received from almost every civilized country on the globe. -
- Worthy of Honor. . The pure, clean private life of Wil
liam McKinley and his most distin
guished public service mark him as
worthy of especial honor, and the same loyal Impulse that prompted the
stopping of almost all the wheels of
Industry for those few moments on the afternoon of his burial, has found annual expression In this simple tribute instituted' by "The Carnation
League of America." No commercial
ism whatever attaches to this memo
rial: the league is seeking no funds
and never has. The entire expense of
its establishment , has been borne by
its founder. --
No exDectation was - had ' of' giving
the "League", the Importance of local organizations, annual meetings or conventions, but in its quiet unobtrusive way it has been made to wield an influence for good and to foster a spirit of true patriotism worthy of our country and the man It seeks to honor.
"If "Carnation Day" snail add a tri
fle to the fostering of national patriotism and the continuing of the economic policies he exponded and stood
for, it would, we may be sure, ce a source of infinite satisfaction to Wil
liam McKinley were he alive, and may
we not think that from Its etnerai home the spirit of this great American will come down and imbue the day with some of his love and veneration for the glories of our nation, the permanency of our Institutions and the
prosperity of our business life.
Creed of the Carnation. The "Creed" of "The Carnation
League of America" is one which can be subscribed to by every loyal and
patriotic American."
Here it is: Commit In to memory: "Believeing that the future great
ness of my country can best be as
sured by a growth of good citizenship
among all the people, and that good
citizenship may be promoted by keeping fresh in our hearts and minds the best traditions of our country, and
that this can, in a measure, be brought about by a proper observance of all of our national days, I charge myself from this time forward to give thoughtful consideration to the patriotic lesson presented by each such day and to endeavor to have other do the same."
