TTIE OMAHA DAILY TIT.Ta MONDAT, JUNE 1. 100.1. MILITARY HEROES AND WAR Est. Miaa Honors 8oldier Without Glori fying Thsir Deeds. SAYS WAR IS A MODE OF BARBARISM i H( Are to Be Hoeored Rot for Klll imc Others, but lor the Jesllee f the Caase They Fight For. Iter. Newton M. Mann, at Unity church y!nterdy mornlnij, took ' War" for ills topic .ind mild, In part: Memorial day, Juat raaaed, suesis topic for our Sunday reflection. The an nual tribute or flowers la but a faint and sentimental reflection of the aubatantlal re membrance continually made to those who died In the service of thla country. The honoring of military heroes la a thing that needs to be very carefully differentiated from the glorification, of war. "War la always a mode of barbarism. Justifiable only when Inevitable. They only glorify war who dellKht In seeing a hell upon earth. When war Is on. the con fusion of Ideas la so complete that one cannot venture to express sympathy for wounded, starving and bereaved people without being sunpected of disloyalty. This is one of the moral horrors of war. In time of war the necessity arises of killing a lot of people, but this necessity ought not to make the killing In Itself seem any the less hideous, and It Is the last thing the victors ought to gloat over. ' "War Is a barbarism and In honoring those who risk their lives In it we are not bound to honor war or to refrain from denouncing It as a terrible and hateful thing. Most wars have been needless and waged merely to gratify,, the ambitions of wicked men, to whom the slaughtering of thousands was of slight consequence. "War Is a calamity like an earthquake, tornado or some fell disease to be met with Such composure and courage as san be mustered. We hear about glorious war, but the fact Is only the warrior Is glorious and Ms glory lies In going Into supreme peril at the command of duty. I believe that the general verdict of those competent to Judge Is that the Mexican war was morauy unlustlflable, but that ought not to detract from our appreciation of the men who fought In It, The nature of the cause for which war la waged does have consider able bearing on the dignity of the service rendered. We have a reverence for .! soldiers of the Revolution and the Civil war that we have not for the men who fought In our other wars. "Had Robert E. Lee been born In Mas sachusetts Instead of Virginia, his name might have been the most honored In his tory. His being a confederate was a mere accident of locality. Still It has been, and is. difficult for us to honor the soldiers arrayed against us. The difficulty Ilea In separating in our thought herolo devotion from the cause to which that devotion was given. When we fully learn this we shall havo flowers for the confederate as well as for other soldiers' graves. "War is the Calvary where heroism Is Impaled, In obldence to a cruel necessity to pay soma debt of sin." of the church have been enthusiasts and It Is ve-y plain that without this spirit the church of God cannot progress and cannot endure." SARROW AU STRAIGHT PATH. Rev. Io Bays It la Easy to Travel Wrong Road. In speaking from the pulpit of the Knox "Presbyterian church Sunday morning. Rev. M. reWltt Long took for his subject the question. "Why the Difficult Wsy?" Quot ing from the gospel by-St, Matthew,, he said the hard way la the good way; It Is narrow and straight, and the wrong way Is wide and easy. Rev. Mr. Long said, In part: "Even as children It Is far easier for us to do those things which are not good for us. It Is strange, but the easiest things that we can do are Invariably the wrong things, and to do right we are forced to do those things In which we find the least pleasure. Why Is 1t that the road to suc cess leads ever upward and that to failure Is the downward and easy path? Activity la the law of enjoyment. Not one man In four succeeds as he would in this world and that Is because of slothfulness. True, we find those who have been pressed down and held back by circumstances of which they are not the masters, but these are the exceptions ind far from being the rule. "Right living may be hard, but It leads to life. Do you understand what that really means, or must we still preach of the here after, with its hell fire, and portray satan as a being with cloven hoofs, a forked tall and horns growing from his head. Our religion should be one of hope and not of fear. In medieval times we Inspired fear for the good of religion, but now there is that promise of reward and the difficult way is a means to the end. "That hope of an after life should be like a cable fastened to some faraway star, drawing us ever forward. If we hitch our wagon to a star and the cable is not strong enough to draw us on; that Is, If circumstances are our masters, then we may feel that the trial that we have mads Is to count for us and that the way to the after life Is as easy as If the (able had not parted. Life In this world consists of try ing to do as we should under all circum stances. If we fall because of untoward events It Is not our fault, but our misfortune."

Watch for the first Indication of an at tack and as soon as you feel It coming on take three of Chamberlain's Btomach 2nd Liver Tablets and the attack may be warded off. Mr. George E. Wright of New London, New York, says: "For several years my wife was troubled with what physicians called sick headache of a very severe character. ' She doctored with sev eral eminent physicians arid at a great ex pense, only to grow worse until she was unable to do any kind of work. About a year ago she began taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver ."Tablets and today weighs more than she ever did before and la real well." ENTHUSIASM THE! GREAT FORCE. So Declares Rev. Miller at Konntsa Memorial Chnrch. - Rev. A. C. Miller, D. D., of Plymouth, O., preached at Kountze Memorial church yes ' terday morning and again In the evening. Dr. Miller Is understood to be a candidate for the recently vacated pulpit. He Is a , man somewhat past middle age and has a pleasing and effective manner of delivery, )I1 morning sermon, although heard by a congregation made small by tha rain, was warmly approved by as many a spoke their vtews about It after the services. Pr. Miller declared that the great need of the church of Christ today Is enthusiasm. Ills discourse was a plea or Intensity and earnestness of spirit among the people and the clergy and in argument of such motor sources. His text he took from the gospel . according to St. Mark: "And the multl tude ccmeth together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. And when His friends heard of It, they went out to lay hold 6n Him, for they .said. Ha is beside Himself." "It Is seen that Jesus was declared mad In His day," said Dr. Miller. "The people were willing to have Him do good. Indeed, they desired Him to do good, but they did i.ot want Him to do it so earnestly, so In-1 tensely, so strenuously. They declared Him mad because of the enthusiasm of His spirit. The same tendency on the part of the world exists today has always ex isted.; The sublimely earnest are discred ited and to them are applied terms which question their sanity and Intellectual bal ance. 'There are very few In any of our churches who are accused of madness to day because of an excess of enthusiasm for Christ. But I say that If the spirit of enthusiasm Is extinguished In the pulpit and In the pew the end of the kingdom et God en earth ia at hand. "History shows us that all great and Incisive reforms have been worked by great tides of emotion, when men were enthused Into a state of self-effacement and forgetfulness and lived and cared for principle and cause alone. There are two unanswerable pleas tor enthunlasm; the first Is Its utter reasonableness and the second Ite success. There Is no fear of too much enthusiasm. No matter how much fuel wo throw upon the flames there are always many others ready to throw on water. It has grown to be a recognized truth that little worth doing can be done without enthusiasm.

FOR HEROES BURIED AT SEA Impressive Ceremoates at River Bank by Grand Army and Relief Corps. One of the most Interesting and lmpres slva Incidents of the Memorial services was that observed yesterday afternoon In strew ing flowers upon the waters In memory of the soldier and sailor dead burled at sea. Details of Crook. Custer and Grant posts and their Woman's Kellef oorps assembled at the foot of Douglas street, under the bridge, and carried out this beautiful cere mony In accordance with the ritual re cently adopted by the National Woman's Relief Corps. The women participating in the ceremony were Mrs. J. E. Hough, pres ident of Crook Woman's Relief Corps; Mrs. JT. F. Rhodes of Crook corps, Mrs. Dries bach of Custer corps, Mrs. Belknap and several others of Crook, Custer and Grant corps. . The services opened with prayer by Rev. H. O. Crocker, following which those pres eni sang .Nearer My God, to Thee." Dr, R. M. Stone of Grant post followed with a short address In which he said Decora tlon day had originated with women Imme diately following the close of the civil war, ana nas since grown Into a national ob servance. He told then of the origin of this beautiful custom of strewing flowers upon the waters In memory of the soldier ana sailor dead burled at sea, which also originated with a woman. Mrs. Carrie M Peters of Rawlins Woman's Relief Corps of Beatrloe, Neb. The Ceremony was first observed at her suggestion in the year ISM In memory of Sergeant George Geddes of company j, lrgt Nebraska Volunteers, who died at sea, while the regiment was en route to the Philippines from San Fran cisco, june ax, is, and was burled the following day about midway between San Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands. The burial was conducted by then Major John .

The cercmniw atrewlng the flowers was committed to the care of Lincoln Woman Relief Corps No 1 of San Francisco, and was performed at in. vim xiouse witn tne most Impressive ceremonies. Since that time the ceremony has been observed with each succeeding Decoration day. In 1900. a member of Lin coln corps of San Francisco, en route to Honolulu, took with her a box of flowers and on Decoration day of that year scat tered them on the sea at the point near where Sergeant Geddes' body was consigned anas rrici jr IUIT) D.

Waat Proof of Hla Ideatlty. J. E. Washington, who says he Is a r.ttl. uuu uiuvesion ana Ardmore. I. T. Is held at the police station while rh. rJH investigating to And out whether he la the man he claims to be and If ha made a number of small loans from Omaha ana rsoutn umaha persons in good faith. Washington gave It out that he was re- turning from Canada, where he had taken a big bunch of cattle to pasture. He Is said to have touched up several stockmen for loans ranging from $10 to (46 and stayed at tne raxton hotel, which Is still short remuneration for hla board. The head of tne t lato Commission company of South Omaha became suspicious of Washington, as the latter was trying to make a loan. It being surmised that he was not entitled io ine name arra habitation which he claimed. An Investigation resulted hi his arrest and the reimbursement of several aeotors. utners. however, are anxious to learn further facts concerning Colonel Washing to. President Burt of the Union Paclfto will meet representatives of the striking ma chinists und blacksmiths .today to discuss plans for settlement unless all arrange ments are changed. No hour hod been set for the conference up to late last night, but a representative of the company said It was the purpose of the president to meet the men sometime during the day. Super intendent McKeen of tins motive power de partment will also participate In the con ference. The machinists' entire International and district boards and the blacksmiths' presi dent and committeemen are here; at least all were In the city last night save Presi dent John Blocum of the blacksmiths and he was expectid any lime. The previous settlement of the boiler makers with President Burt in New Tork adds a certain peculiar interest, to tha con ference to begin tol.TT. Certain lirovlalc ns of the terms arrived at between the com pany and the boiler maker are not en tirely aatlsfactory to the other crafts and this fact, therefore, will have Its effect. It Is noticeable on the eve of their meeting with President Burt and Mr. McKeen that the labor representatives and officials of the company are tndlspo?d to discuss Is sues. They take the position that It Is too delicate a time for public discussion of private matters. We want peace and any dlscussi m at tills time of our plans or differences could have no good results and might have very bad results," said an official of one of the crafts yesterday. Ae to Noaaaloa Employes. It has been stated, however, that the company would be urged to discharge all Its present machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths. This Is one point tha boiler makers did not hold out on, taking the view that this question would "work nut Itself In due time." Like the boiler makers. the machinists and blacksmiths will con tinue their stand against piece work. The terms of settlement with the boiler makers provide that no man shall wor by the piece unless he so desires. The men who are to meet the Union Paclfto officials are: 'International executive boad, machinists. Hugh Doran, chairman, Chicago; M. J. Ford, New York; E. L. Tuckor. Washing ton; H. F. Garrett, Atlanta; James A. Rey nolds, Cleveland. . Machinists' district executive board, com prising representatives from over the Union Pacific system: B. F. Perry.

Last evening the Ferris Summer Stock company began the fifth week of Its sea son at the Boyd with no apparent falling off In attendance, if receipts at tho box office are to be taken as an evidence of popularity, the present stock company Is the best that ever happened In Omiha. And by the same token, If measured by any other'standard, it will average up well with Omaha's slock companies of the past. The bill last night was Hartley Campbell's "Oalley Slnve," a production of that gifted writer of melodrama at a time when he was In the aonlth of his powers. It bears the true ring, with Ite deep vein of tragedy, Ite eteady flow of humor as an antidote for the sombreness of Its true plot, and the happy ending that sets everything right and makes everybody glad he came, nnd it has that distinct flavor of the true drama which so genuinely distinguishes the melo drama of the past from the rubbish that parades today under the title. Mr. Slddms finds in the role of Sidney Norcott a splen did opportunity for his powers as a ro mantlo hero actor, and dees the work ex tremely well. Mr. Long Is the essential foil, as Baron- Du Bols, and by his con scientious efforts last night earned several rounds of energetic hisses. Miss Pavey gives to Cicely Blaine a dignity and sweet ness of manner that well becomes an Amer ican girl. The very trying scene wherein the hero Is trapped by the villain In the heroine's chamber, and proclaims himself a burglar rather than cast a stain on the honor of the woman he loves, was most effectively worked up. Other stirring sit uations were also given with a dash that won much applause. The piece Is most ap propriately staged, too, the setting of the first act, a Venetian scene, being partic ularly good. "The Galley Slave" will be tha bill until after Wednesday, when "A Night of Frol'c" will be put on. ! ROYAL ARCANUM MEMORIAL i Members of Union FaoiGo Oonnoil Com memcrate Brothers Who Are Gone.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY OF WEST What - Experloae Has Taught an Obsorver of tha True West ern Spirit. OMAHA, May a. To the Editor of The Bee: A person coming from the east, where a stricter observance of the stereotyped rules of polite society is practiced. Is sur prised and. at first, somewhat shocked at the informality of western manners, and the apparent terms, of equality on which men and families treat each other. In the small country towns of the west beyond the Missouri river we see the evidences of this common level amongthe people; no distinctions existing, socially, by reason of different occupations or differences In pe cuniary or other conditions. This Is, naturally, the primitive or pio neer condition of society, and In the best sense and broader view this ' social condl tlon raises men and women to a really high plane of social, life. When a new tar rltory is first settled by people, coming. as has usually been the case In this coun try, from different states and countrlts, the spirit of interdependence predominates, The people meet and greet each other though but yesterday strangers with the feeling that they are bound together some what as soldiers are by ties of patriotic sentiment and common fellowship and in toreet, and that they are enlisted to, battle together In a common cause. They are willing to give, for the common good, the best that Is In them, to the end that the settlement or coIobk may be a success, and they feel .great pride and satisfaction In what Is accomplished to establish and maintain Its prosperity by either Individ ual or collective effort. In such a young community . the auburn-headed Irishman, who, when In the . "old country" savagely hated every "Johnnie Bull" In the king dom, sheds all his long nurtured animosity almost unconsciously, as the serpent sheds his skin, and greets the Englishman with a hard but kindly slap on the back, and a resonant "How air ye me bay," at every meeting. We have spent a considerable time since 1R8 In travel over the trans-Mtssourl west, especially in Nebraska, Kansas and Colo rado, and . have- been observant of this spirit of mutual kindness and regard that everywhere prevails amongst the country The dead of the Royal Arcanum were re membered yesterday afternoon by an Im press! vo memorial service at Kountze church. It was held under the auspices ot Union Pacific council No. 1069 and seldom has-there been a more beautiful tribute to departed brothers by a fraternal order In Omaha. Tha lower auditorium of the large church was filled with sympathising mem bers of the1 order and their friend and wives. The pulpit was banked with Im mense potted palms. Red and white tar nations lent color to the green that almost obscured the speakers and presiding officer from the view of the congregation. Tender eulogies, general In character, were deliv ered by E. M. Bartlett, .A. Hugh Hippie and Rev. T. J. Mackay. Organist J. H. Blmms played Chopln"s Funeral March" as a fitting prelude and the ceremonies were begun by Regent Howard Bruner, who spoke briefly and requested Secretary H. B. Morrill to read the roll of the absent brothers. The sec retary did so, Guide F. W. Robinson an swering the pathetic "absent" as the Indi viduals of the following roster were called: William B. Alexander, Marlon L. An drews, Charles Aaplnwall, E. W. Bartlett, K. W. Dent, Harold II. frtnn, unaries ri. Gardner, L. A. Garner. Dell H. Goodrich, W. J. Hughes. W. R. Ieorn, A. M.

Walter, Thlllp A. Warrack, H. B. Wheeler and E. E. Whit- more. Dudley Buck's arrangement of the famil iar "Rock of Ages" was sung by a quartet composed of Miss Barr, Miss Porterfleld, Mr. D. H. Wheeler, Jr.. and Mrs. C. 8. Haverstock. An Invocation was asked by Chaplain Mackay, and Mr. Haverstock gave with great beauty the song, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Heroes of Every Day. "Yesterday," said Brother E. M. Bart lett, "we strewed flowers on the graves of the heroes who died on the altars of thelt country who gave up their lives that we might enjoy the blessings of a free gov ernment. These heroes well deserved the honors done to their memories. But the heroes are not alone among the soldiers. the authors and the statesmen. The heroes whose memories we are speaking of today were, like those among us. In every walk of life, and this hour reminds us what Is felt toward this class of men. "It Is the man who takes his loved one to the altar and plights his faith that he will stand by and protect her, the man whose conduct through his life is such that It occasions no reproach on the little Vtolncra whom he has brought Into this world. And the hero whom we speak ot today Is the one who made It a point to protect and provide his family from the future and whose first thoughts were al ways of the loved ones at home." Miss Porterfleld sang "O, Shadow in l Sultry Land," by Marston, and Brother A. itim-h 111 mile pronounced another euiogy He dwelt much upon the certainties ot rtonth ond oblivion, but reminded his hear- era that much good for themselves and their, fellowmen might be accompnsneu during their span of existence.

When yer goln' to shlD vour hogs?" and other greetings equally direct, plain and interested, spoken in the same homely phrase, and in the same spirit of cordiality. Such Is the social democracy of the west. If we may add an opinion In conclusion, we would ray, that, under this western social feglme, there are brought out, grown up and matured some of the grand est men of the age; plain and common, yet uncommon men. Gentlemen, who are nre- emlnently worthy the name; gentlemen who have doubly earned the title, without tne study of artificial rules, but by the unstudied and dally practice of Chester field's Imperative law, to wit: That a true gentleman Is noble minded, truthful and sincere In his speech; upright and gallant In his conduct; addresses himself to the poor and rich alike; never gives offense and stands upon his record and his honor.
