Memorial Day IS Near Holy Holiday Gradually Increasing Sentiment Among the General Public That Spirit of Reverence Should Mark Day's Observance As the ranity of those vo whom Memorial Day a holy rather than a mere holiday, becoming thinher, there seems to be a gradually increasing sentiment among the general public that the day on which the nation's soldier dead are honored shall be marked more with the spirit of reverence than with frolic and frivolity. This sentiment hag year by year become more apparent, and those who take part with the few remaining veterans do so with a inuch more becoming and reverend epirit than formerly.

Another feature of Memorial Day that is each year beccming more and more noticeable is the tendeney to instil into the minds of the children a proper veneration and regard for the day, and to give the young people prominent places in any exercises that may be held in celebration of it. Some years age the custom off holding Memorial Day exercises in the public schools was inaugurated. At first the exercises were participated in only by the pupils and memhers of the faculty, the program consisting of patriotic essays, recitations and music.

Credit for the innovation which will be witnessed at the state house as soon after the contracts are let next month as is possible, is directly due to Commissioner Dixon. In d'tion to denouncing the publie drinking cup in season and out of stason, whenever and wherever possible, for years, Dr. Dixon has been urging the adoption of the sanitary cup about the capitol. The cups could not be provided ow, however, because neither they nor the machines were in the schedule, and neither Gov.

Two varities of machines are noted in the schedule. One is a. public vending machine from which any one athirst can get a sanitary cup for a cent. The other is a similar machine, which will distribute the cups free of cost. The cent-in-the-slot is be installed in the corridors adjacent to the public fountains; the free vending machines and to be placed in the departments for the use of the employes.

The cups in each will be of the same make, shaped like an ordinary table tumb'er. The schedule sets forth 15 machines of each type as the "estimated quantity" which will be required but it is probable that more than that rumber will have to be purchased, especially of the free vending machines for department use; such a quantity will not begin to be sufficient (to supply the departments. The cent-in-the-slot machines must cost not more than $16 each, that being the maximum price. in schedule; the maximum for the free machines, which are less coplicated, is $12.50. The max mum price for 1,090, and 5,000 is the cups is $6 per set forth as the "estimated quantity." It will not surprising if installation of the sanitary cup machines results direct saving to the state.

Later the veterans took the matter up themselves and this ear the Grand Army posts of the city assigned a delegation of veterans to attend and take part in the Memorial Day exercises. This year a large chorus of schocl children will take part in the public memorial exercises, this being an attractive and pretty feature of the program; another step toward instilling into young mind the rememtrance of the patriotism of the boys of '61 is to give them an active part in distributing the flowers and flags on the graves of the old heroes.

many of our local patriotic orators will have a chance to speak before the children of schools, having been assigned to the different buildlings by the two Grand Army posts of the city; each speaker will be accompanied by one or more of the veterans from these two posts, who will aiso, have significance something of to the say celebration bearing the day.
