The Dat f Decorain . I
' ' of i
'l'hc question transferring
Decoration da ) ' to the last -
day ill May suggests a sun-I
argulIlcnts in the afiirmative. It
is ccrtainly unfortunate that a
day dCllicated to the memory of
the nation's defenders in its
grcatest crisis shoulel be per-
verled to recreations that have as
liltle approprialcness to its
original purpose as a secular
song at a church service. 'l'he i .
decoration of the hallowcd graves.
of the great dead , and the com-
I11cmoratiort services , are all b t
lost sight of in the atheletic
spor ts , excursious and merry-
makings by which the day is
made not oul. } ' a disrespect to the
surviving veterans of the civil
war and an irrev rence toward
the deparled soldier's bu t a real
injury to patriotism and to the
appreciation of the great hislory
which teaches the responsib1itics
of citizenship and lhe dignities
of the nation.
It is only fair lo say , however ,
that no disrespect and irreverence
are intended , Human nature
being what it is , such a use of
any holiel.ay is inevitablc , unless
that ho1iday be associated with
lhc sacredness of the Sabbath ,
which has still a sacredness ,
however great the confusion of
popular thought in regard to its
proper observance. 'l'he American -
can people have none too man ) '
holidays , and when one is
appointed at the most beautiful
season of the year-when the
impulse to sport is the greatest-
it would be a pub1ic of far deepcr
feeling and thoughtfulncss than
any which can be found in the
world today that would l < eep
Memorial day as it ought to be
obscrved. 'rhis is no justification -
tion or excusc for the misuse of
the day , but the statement of a
fact-which is a fact-however
deplorable.
Would it not be better to
observe tlie last Wednesday or
Thursday in Ma ) ' as a Spring
li'cstival , without any connection
wilh patriotic or religious ideas ?
I.et the children loose from school
t and men from thcir work shops
and women from their kitchens
, simply to have a good time just
as they p1ease , without any blamc
- attaching to such merry-making
so long as it is pursued in gOOf ]
order and decency. And make
Memorial day a Sunday in whicI :
the sacrifice and immortal1ife oj
the saviours of the Nation shal
gain added significancc from the
remembr lnce of the sacnfice ant
elernal victory of the Saviour 0 :
man1d1H1.
No enc would expect that thh
changc would ma1tc the observ. .
e ance entirely satisfactory. Multi
tudes of thoughtless peop1 (
would be as unmindful of the
teachings of suce a day as the1
are of the grand inspirations 0
every Sabbath. But it would bl
e a gain.
If this change is made there
must be an improved aspreciatiol
of what Decoration day means
on the part of churches anI
minislers. Any such aloofnes :
, as shown on the observanci
) f already held on the Sabbatl
d preceding Decoration day mus. .
be abandoned , Nor must thcre
I e be any jealousy for churcl
h inlerests when patriotic interesl
ls arc made prominent. 'l'herl
) f must be the full recognition 01
their part that love of countr'
and reverent memory of th
heroic dead are esscntial elcment
g of religion. It is in the powc
.0 of lhc chnrches to mae of suc !
1- a elay a great and encficienl re
IS ligious and palriotic festival.
Aud what could commend th
r. threatened sauclity of th ,
Sabbath more than this : T ,
y bring inlo it , not on this < It\ '
, bnt also on all th
Sabbaths of the year , the grea
s interests of mankind , to empha
sizc the noble elements of them
,
anl1 to show lheir cssential
relations to things cterultl. 'I'lle I
Puritan Sabhath iu gone and will
not relurn. 'l'he Sabbath which
makes no provision for man's
higher nature is satisfactory to I
nobody. ' ! 'he Sabbath which is
elevoled lo the highest and most' '
appealing human intcrests is
"the Sabbath that was madc for
man. " And such Sabbaths night
be inaugurated by. a Memorial
day in which the Grand Army
of the Hcpublic Ilnd church would
find themselves in most congenial -
genial alliance ,
Meanwhile lct the vaterans be
assured that their observance of
this clay is a great good to the
nalion-in spite of the profama-
t on of the da . v. 'l'he fragrance
of thc flowers. which they strew
upon the graves oftheir co nradesj
the words that arc spokcn in
their gatherings and even the
thoughts that fill their own
hearts too deep for utterancc or
tears , are influences that will he
potent when all the outcries of
this day of merry-making are
forgotten. Anel the veterans
mabe sure that there is a recognition -
cognition of them in the popular
heart that grows stronger
through the years which they
have added to the republic. We
are a thoughtless , but not an
ungrateful , peoplc.

Suicide at Westerville.
Coroner Morrow was called to
Westerville on Monda v to hold
an inqucst on tbe r' mains of
Frank G. Whitney who was reported -
ported to ha\'c committeed sui-
c < lc , but as the fact that tbe deceased -
ceased had taken his own life by
shooting himself through the
heart with a revolver appeared -
peared to be the cause , the
coroner deemed an inquest un-
necessary. About a month ago
Whitney's wife left him and went
to Iowa and he became despon-
dcnt over the prospects of the
future. It is said he was a member -
ber of the A. O. U.V. . and insured -
sured for 2,000 in favor of his
wife. Sometime ago he lost a
foot while working in the rail-
roael yarels at Omaha.

The Seeing Telephone.
'l'wo instruments that may be
callcd "seeing telephones" have
been perfected almost simultaneously -
'
ously , after years' experiment.
By means of these wonderful
instruments a person at one end
i of a wire can see as well as hear
what is going on at the other
end , which may be 500 miles
away , or as far as it has hitherto
been possible to speak through
the telephone.
One lIIstrument , called "thc
te1evue , " is t he invention of J ,
B. Fowler , of Portland , Ore. II
has been tested over a distance
of more than 6,000 feet in Port.
land , and thcre is every reason te
be1ieve that it can be used ove1
a far greater distance. TIll
preliminary patents have beel
- issued in Washinglon. Th4
second seeing telephohe is till
invention of Professor Kern , i
well-known scientist of Munich
It has been fully tested anI
works splend cUy. It can be usel
with a wire of indefinite length
but is said to give a less vivie
image and to be inferior in man1
respects to the American inven
tion ,
The televue will revolutionize
the conditions of modern life
perhaps even more completel :
than the telegraph or telephonc
'fhese instruments have mad
1 communication of a purely in
telleetual character very simplc
but there remain hundreds 0
forms of communication of th
greatcst importance to all of u
that cannot be satisfactorily ac
complished without the intervel1
tion of eyesight. With th
simple te1ephone it is difiicult tl
- buy goods with confidence , be
