We had been held in reserve for five
long hours, while cannon Numbered
and muskets cracked spitefully along
the front, a mile away. A procession
of dead and wounded had filed past
us until we were sick with horror.
Shot and shell and bullets had fallen
upon US behind the woods until the
dry dead grass bore many stain of
blood, says q veteran in the Detroit
Free Press:

Our brigade was going in at last,
and there was look of relief on the
face of every officer and man as we
got the word:
"Guide observation-disclosures"
AS we swung clear of the woods a
gust Of wind raised the smoke for a
minute, and 1 saw the plain in front
blue with dead and wounded. Away
beyond them was line of earthworks
and had one swift glimpse of thin
blue line kneeling behind the cover.
STEADY! Right Dress! Double quick
march,
The air is alive with the ping of
bullets and the whiz and shrek of
shot and shell. We bend our heads
as if breasting fierce gale laden with
icy pellets. There is a wild cry-a
shriek-a groan, as men are struck
and fall to the earth, but no one needs
them-no one hesitates. 1t is hurri-
cane of death, but we feel a wild ex-
ultation in breathing it. Men shout,
curse, sing, swing their hats, and
cheer.

OLD GLORY.

Pr0f. j. u. Butler.
"Old Glory", is General Sherman's
name for the Union flag, in his article,
"Old Shady" in a recent number OF
the North american Review. He
was speaking of the flag raised on Fort
McAllister, in 1864. In the two octa-
YES of his memoirs, however, the
term "Old Glory" is never once used,
and it therefore seems to have been
unknown to him when he Ote that
book. 1t proved to be unknown to
many veterans among my acquaint-
ances. Others to whom the name was
familiar could give no account of Its
origin. 1 hence addressed an inquiry
to the General himself. In his an
swer he wrote, az do not remember
exactly when or where it was that 1
first heard the term odd Glory given
to the Union flag, but have heard il
at army meetings in recent years."
Discovering that the highest militia
~ dignitary was ignorant where SO
notable name as "Old Glory" came
from, L became doubly DESTROYS to
learn when and where the term was
born.
1t was some time before found the
expression "Old Glory" in print at an
earlier date than 1875. In Chicago
volume of that year, "Songs Of Yes
terday," found these lines:
Have You read in any book, heard anybody tell
OF the gallant Third Ohio. Lieutenant Colonel
Bell?
they named the flag,
They ehristened it "old Glory" or Just that
blessed rag"
Many inquiries and something Of
random research long proved fruit
less, but at last through Mr. George
G. Putnam, of Salem, Mass, who saw
my request for information in the
State Journal, 1 have found what 1
sought. Army men who know what
may be called the genesis and exodus
of "Old Glory" will be glad to see it
retold tor the sake of the ignoramus
majority. Another reason for my
tale of truth is that Rev. Mr.. Lover
ing in his election sermon says that
a Massachusetts, regiment baptized
our flag in their blood and called it
"Old Glory"
The name "Old Glory" was given
by William Driver to the flag which
he presented to the Sixth Ohio Regi-
ment, February %, 1862. This pre-
sentation was prominently memora-
BILE, and the flag itself no less 30. 1t
was made in Nashville the day Of it's
capture by Union forces, and by the
only out-spoken Union man whom
they found there.
That man, William Driver, was
horn in Salem, Massachusetts, 1903.
AS sea captain, he was for twenty
years backing and filling all over the

Nashville. His standing for god.fath- |

eminent" In this State last years
report shows that there were 1922
male teachers and 6716 female teach
ers. Women teach our district and
city schools, and who objects? Yet
the women in those positions are
obliged to govern. No one cares to
interfere if she governs school Of
noisy children, six hours a day for
months. This will do her no harm.
Out of los County Superintendent
% are women. Allen county had Q
lady superintendent and who has
been more successful than she? Also
IA of the principal cities Of the United
States have lady Superintendent of
the city schools. Among these the
most important are Bloomington. ILL.,,
Pine Creek, Ark, Bangor, Me-, Mar
quette, Mich, Portland and Salem,
Oregon. But there is q higher work
still for women. She is to be not only
a companion to man, but true fellow
worker. Let women take q part in
mans work. He cannot fail to feel
the refining influence OF her presence.
DIsfranchisement is the last linger-
ing link of the chain which hound
tenants to their lords, slaves to their
masters, and money borrowers to
their lenders.
Some say that the majority of the
women do not care to vote. Also that
no woman of high social standing
would 60 to the polls. AS to whether
women wish to vote or not, ask few
of them. Nine out of every ten will
tell you they do. Also the most in
fiuential women in this city vote at
the city elections. Would they not
much rather vote for the president Of
the United States than for city mar
shall?
OF all the struggles of the human
race for liberty. there never has been
one more complicated than the pres
ent, for the equality of women. The
southern slaves were emancipated
and enfranchised without any effort
ON their part. The English laborers
received Acknowledgement in q similar
manner. This reform is not elevating
a lower class, but giving only to the
equal their rights. A person may be
honestly opposed to universal suffrage.
He may believe it dangerous and
wrong. Perhaps he would restrict
voting to few. But there is no reas-
on why women should be excluded
from the few. Perhaps that person
would change the government to o
monarchy or an oligarchy. But there
is no reason for accepting the Demo-
cratic principles and not carrying
them out.
In 1776 our fathers sent forth the
immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence. The declaration of justice, lib
erty and equality for all mankind.
Every man and every woman under
our grand flag was free. And the old
Independence Bell rang out loud and
clear "Amen", which echoed around
the world. Let us declare our indie
pendence and say women are equal as
to suffrage.
Then let us ring the bells for justice.
liberty, peace and equality, and their
chimes shall echo and re-echo through
the ages of broader and deeper
growth to our free land.
