MEMORIAL DAY
Tomorrow, following the custom
honored for half a century, the citi
zens of the nation will decorate the
graves of the men who fell in conflicts
since 1861-65.
Memorial Day is not a day devoted
to hilarity but set aside to honor the
memory of those men whose blood has
quenched the fires of tyranny; whose
lives were sacrificed, that we might
live in peace and harmony. We may
well at this time mediate upon the
lessons of history; a century and a
half has passed since the Revolution;
sixty years since our fathers fought
the civil war and vivid in our memory
is the suffering and martyrdom of 1917
and 1918.
National perils and deep-seated evils
menace our country at this time thru
illiteracy, child labor and loose mar
riage laws. The most casual considera
tion shows that such conditions con
stitute a national problem of the first
magnitude, politically, socially, in
dustrially. Soviet Russia has adopted
a national program of education; the
largest item of Mexico’s federal budT
get is for education; Turkey has aban
doned the old Arab orthography and
adopted the alphabet of Western Eur
ope; China has substituted the spoken
language for the old literary *ongue—
which was heretofore only known to j
sch«>lars;the nationalistic movement of I
India is a scheme for the teaching of |
the masses. The United States must j
see that the knowledge of what these'
men whose memory we honor, died
for, is known to every person in the
land, and that they will not have died
in vain.
Memorial Day therefore, is a day of
respect, and a day on which eveiy lev
el minded person should seriously
mediate and recall those principles for
which these United States stand.
POPPY DAY
The Poppy has been selected by the
American Legion as the flower of Me
morial Day. Today and tomorrow,
poppies will be on sale in Seward at
the Seward Drug Company, and by
the ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary, they are but ten cents each,
and every person in the community
can afford one as a reminder of the
principals for which those men died,
whose memory we honor and graves
we decorate tomorrow.
The poppies on sale are all of silk
and were made by French disabled
veterans. To each is attached a little
sticker bearing the name and emblem
of the American Legion to avoid coun
terfeiting.
As a result of the San Francisco
convention of the legion the proceeds
of the poppy sales must go to relief
work. Since the convention the Legion
has voted to use the proceeds in child
welfare work; by action of the Nation
al Convention it is stipulated that none
of the contributions of “Child Wel
fare” can be used for any administra
tive work; The cost of administra
tion to be borne by the National or
ganiaztion.
DEADLOCK ASSURED AT THE
DEMOCRATIC MEET
Since it is recognized as gotfd politi
cal businss to claim everything in
sight McAdoo’s manager now asserts
that his candidate will control 648 1-2
votes, or within eighty-five of a two
thirds majority, in the national con
vention at New York, whether he will
be able to reach that number when 1
his maximum strength is polled at the a
convention, nobody knows, but impar- 1
tial surveys of the situation do not in- t
dicate that he will be able to get much J
more than an actual majority—assum-,
ing, of course, the opposition sticks to- ■
gether. A total of 1,098 delegates will
be entitled to vote and 1,012 of these
have been distributed. McAdoo will
have 398 of these on the first ballot.
A1 Smith with 294, will be second;
Oscar Underwood, third, with 64; J.
W. Davis, fourth, with 40, and other
favorite sons will have 216 for log
rolling. There is no means of know
ing how far McAdoo, with the initial
leadership, will be able to break into
the favorite son column after the first
few ballots, or whether he will be able
to batter down the distinctly anti-Mc
Adoo defenses, but it is certain that
the fight will be long-drawn. The most
responsible opinion is that neither Mc
Adoo, though he may get more than a
majority, nor any of his opponents
who will be prominent at first, can win
the nomination under the two-thirds
rule, and the inevitable results will be
a compromise. Farther than that few
forecasters are willing to go.

Cutting the Cost
of a Basic Necessity
Standard Oil Service in Alaskan ter
ritory, operating throughout eight dis
tributing stations (shown on the map)
and our two motor ships, “Standard
Service” and “Alaska Standard,” is de
livering petroleum products of depend
able quality at points where they were
formerly unobtainable. Many custom
ers are installing tanks and other stor
age facilities enabling them to receive
deliveries in bulk to their own storage
at a considerable saving over the cost
of commercial transportation in drums.
The “Standard Service” and “Alaska
Standard,” built especially for the
Alaskan service, are making regular
visits to over a hundred ports of call.
The assurance of a dependable service
of petroleum products at reasonable
prices has stimulated commercial de
velopment in many lines and in many
regions.
Write our office in the Alaska Build
ing, Seattle, Washington, or the near
est Standard Oil Station (shown on the
map) for details concerning Standard
Oil Service in Alaskan territory.
