That New Hampshire G. A. R. post
which distinguished itself by attack
ing President Roosevelt because of his
patriotic references to the South and
his statement that he would be Presi-
dent of the whole country, has not
added much to its stature. 1t was
during the Mckinley memorial SER
vices held by the Manchester, n. H.,
Grand Army post, when Past National
Commander Challis, of the Sons of
Veterans, felt called upon to rise and
remark:
4 confess that is was with some mis-
givings that | read the letter which Pres
ident Roosevelt wrote to a Southern
friend, in which he said that he was proud
of the fact that two of his uncles served
the Confederate cause. one as an admiral
in the Confederate navy, while the other
had fred the last gun on the Alabama |
have some misgivngs as to the future I
don't like to see the pendulum swing that
way"
But this was not all. Senator Burn
ham, evidently influenced by the
sphere of sectional hate that surround
ed him, felt called upon to shake his
fist at President Roosevelt IN these
words:
We shall not yield one jot or little of
the principles that We fought for during
the civil war or abandon the idea that
We were right and that the South was
eternaly and wickedly wrong"
1t isn't necessary to open up old
wounds and the discussion of the Sec
tional differences of nearly half a CEN
fury ago.
Both sections believed they We're
right and they fought it to finish on
that line.
President Roosevelt did not endorse
the cause of the South when he stat
ed that he was proud of the fact that
his relatives, once having enlisted in
that cause, fought bravely for the
South, just as his maternal ancestors
in that section fought bravely in the
wars OF the revolution and later in the
war Of 1872. President Roosevelt
might also have added that his rela-
tives also fought bravely by his side
in the late war with Spain. Every
American has a right to be proud OF
such achievoments-proud of a brave
and honorable record-whether he who
made it wore the blue or the gray.

Sir:-I observe by your paper of yes

Company is valued for purposes of tax
alton at two hundred thousand, nine
hundred and seventy-five dollars and
eighty six cents $500, 975.S6), and the
Wheeling and Elm Grove Railway
Company at one hundred and eighty
three thousand, five hundred and

Traction Companys capital stock is

am informed. 1t also carries bonded
Indebtedness of over two and a half
millions; and the Elm Grove road is
bonded for about half as much as the
Wheeling Traction Company. | am
also informed that the bonds of both
corporations are selling above par. I
desire to ask: Are these corporations
bearing their full share of the public
burden? If Councilman would give
attention to requiring corporations to
bear reasonable share of the taxes re-
quired for public purposes, he would
be serving his people to better advan-
tage than he is by keeping up factional
quarrels. Some one is cheated-the
purchaser of the bonds. or the public
treasury. Which is it?
