Warren F. Kellogg, 5 Park Square, Bos-
ton, Mass.
The June issue of The Forum may,
with some degree of propriety, be termed
Cuban number, for the first four articles
deal with the Island, or the war with
Spain. Senator Foraker heads the list
with paper entitled ''Our War with
Spain: its Justice and Necessity" He
gives succinct account of the events
which led to the present war, and,
among other arguments in favor of inter
vention, quotes the following passage
from Prof. Lawrence principles of In
ternational Law:
''Should the cruelty be so long continu-
ed and SO revolving that the best instincts
OF human nature are outraged by it, and
should an opportunity arise for bringing
1t to an end and removing its cause with
out adding fuel to the flame of the contest,
there is nothing in the law of nations
which will condemn, as wrongdoer, the
state which steps forward and undertakes
the necessary Intervention. Each case
must be judged on it's own merits. j

garden without his consent; but if | saw
child of his robbed and i'll tleate d in it by
a tramp, | should throw ceremony to the
winds, and rush to the rescue without
waiting to ask permission
Senator Foraker very properly contends
that Spain has lost her sovereignty over
Cuba by her own misrule and that she
has also lost the opportunity to retire
with dignity and honor by obstnately re
fusing the kindest and most generous
offers of mediation.

The Chaplain-Poet of the Confederacy

Abram Joseph Ryan, whose poem, The
Song OF the Mystic was printed on this
page in the number of Feb. 27 and which
was credited to him, but not to bis pub
lished works, as it should have been. was
true son of the South. He was born in
Norfolk, Va, in 1899, and early in life
determined to become priest of the Ro-
man Catholic Church. and with that end
in view he pursued course of classical
and theological training. Shortly after
his ordination the civil war broke out. and
he entered the Confederate army as a chap
lain, in which capacity he served until
| peace was declared. He was remarkably
/ gifted as poet, and some of his war
poems, written in the stirring atmosphere
of camp life, possess that peculiar potency
which gives them place in the body OF
| permanent literature. Probably his most
famous war poem is the following:
THE CONQUERED BANNER
| Furl that banner, for It's weary:
| Round its staff tbs dropping weary;
| Furl it, fold it, it is best
| For there's not man to wave it,
| And there's not a sword to save it,
| And there's not one left to lave it

The need of "A reformatory for girls
is more and more shown as the Is
lands develop. There are undoubtedly
tough female citizens among certain
cffsses of the community who should
be separated from their fellows, and
whose evil example should be put out
of the way as much as possible. At
the present time there is no place to
which such girls can be sent. The
consequence is that they loaf about
the streets, sometimes they go to
school, but wherever they are they
form a center of contamination. 1t is
the duty of the state to stop moral
contagion of this sort, just as it is its
duty to try and prevent the
spread of smallpox or cholera. If the
various charitable and religious or
CARNATIONS cannot save these girls the
State should see that they are placed
where they can do the least harm. OF
course the government can do nothing
in he,matter at present, but it would
be quite in line with enlightened and
progressive policy for the Educational
Commissioners to ask for funds for

This is the season of the year when
every housewife wishes she lived any

and when the lord and master of the
house gets better meals than he does

He is on hand at the Fourth of July,

he never has to attend the funeral of

lille the cost of war should not
forbid us to resort to that eNpedient
in order to maintain the cause of

calls for some attention ust at this
time.
Since our first struggle with Great
Britain in 1916, we have expended in
warfare the round sum of SO, 900
600, 900. The revolutionary war cost
us T135, 193.7O3 and 80, 900 lives: the
war of 1872, $lO7 ,159, 900 and 1000
lives; the Mexican war 81 900, 900

In the last Southern Methodia RecieW
there is we'll written article by
Meta Folger, entitled, '.Today's Out
look in Southern POETRY \ ust
tribute is paid to William Gilmore
Sims, Sidney Lanier, Thompson,
Hayne, Margaret 5. Preston, jerome
Stockard, and others.
The writer, however, in the state
ments concerning Stockard. makes
one mistake. She says that Stockard
has never brought out volume of his
poems. Mr.. Stockard is North
Carolinian, now living at Fredericks-
burg. Va, and we cannot allow the
mistake to 90 uncorrected. We are
always interested to the point of
aggressiveness in claiming and APP
propriating the merits OF our men
and women who are doing credit to
the State.
The truth is, Mr.. Stockard brought
out a volume of his poems over
one year ago. 1t is hands omely
bound volume of nearly one hundred
pages, and sells for the low price of
one dollar. 1t is called "Fugitive
Lines" If we had the space, we
could quote some Of his lines and
show conclusively to all true Judges
that Mr.. StOckard is true poet.
There is no redfire. fastian, or
metallic jingling in his flowing num-
bers. The thoughts are as clear-cut
as a cameo, and clothed in metrical
verbiage which is the product of
delicate taste. and discriminating
wisdom. Mr.. Stockard has special
aptitude for sonnets, .'Theocritus, -"
wv ashington, ..Homer.' and
'.Shakespeare," being some of his
best.
1t is fact which we would fain
hide from public view that Mr.. Stock
ard was not able to publish this
volume, until he became a citizen of
another State. North Carolinians
did lot begin to appreciate him until
he became ''prophet in another
country" Verify, self-depreciation
is the bane of the Old North State.
This self-depreciation has special
manifestation in our underestimate
ing the literary power and possibility
Of our writer's. A book coming, for
instance, from Virginia writer is
more widely read than one coming
from another within our own Dor
ders.
There is no reason why this should
be the case. The literary field in
North Carolina is not the barren
waste whose picture we have been
helping by our self-depreciation to
outline before the eyes of the world.
There are choice spots which yield
frontage and fruitage. We need
men and women TO make public
proclamation of the fact, and to car
ry on the great work of making the
other waste places to blossom as the

A Difference in National Character.
Baltimore SUM

While Americans are leaving Cuba
with great haste on the prospect of
war with Spain, the thousands of
Spaniards in the United States do not
show the slightest anxiety or alarm,
or any desire to get out of the coun-
try. The fact is, they will be as safe
here as in Spain, and they realize
that there is no necessity for going
away. In Washington the members
of the Spanish embassy have been
subjected to no menace, and there
has been no need to take any precau-
ton for their safety. In Madrid, on
the contrary, it has been thought
advisable to guard the American lega-
ton to protect our diplomatic repre-
sentatives from possible outbreak of
popular violence. These Incidents
illustrate the difference between the
temper, character and training of the
American and Spanish people. Ameri-
cans are naturally calmer and under
better self-control than the Spanish
or even of Italian or French blood.
They would consider it cowardly to
attack non-combatants, and would
feel it reflection upon national cour-
age if Spanish residents or visitors to
the United States should fly out of
the country on approach of war for
fear they might become the victims
of violence.
Popular sovereignty means also
popular self-control. The habit of
exercising authority has produced the
hihit Of self-command Americans
have been broadened, too, by the
cosmopolitan character of our popu-
lation. Narrow national prejudices
have been largely dissipated by the
fact that we have representatives of
nearly all the nations on earth in our
citizenship and have grown accus-
toned to seeing and mingling with
them. Our republic gives practical
recognition in its everyday life and
in the workings of its institutions to
the brotherhood of man. The Span
ish residents of the United States
need have no fear for their safety.
Even the tiercest of our lingo states
men would have no ill-will for sub
Jects of Spain who might find them
selves within our gates in time of
war. If we fight, it will be only
against an armed enemy
