Editor The Times:
Sir.-Permit me to say word con-
corning the meeting of the Anti-Sa-
loon League on last Tuesday night. a
large number OF the best citizens OF
Amherst and vicinity met ut the
Baptist Church at q called meeting of
the League. 1t was the most repre-
sentative gathering Of the citizens of
Amherst that have ever seeen. The
meeting was characterized by charity and
religion. There was an earnest prayer
for Gods guidance and assistance. There
was a spirit of fairness to all. and yet
OF loyalty to the principles of tho League.
and to the claims uf justice and
right.
The resolutions were adopted, Us I then
thought, unanimously with a rising vote.
Your scribe. after the passing of the
resolutions, arose and said mere organi-
cation will not accomplish our work. AS
followers Of Christ, we must aim at in
dlviduals. AS our Mast U sought the
publcans and sinners, SO We must sceh
to save Souls from wrong anu IuiN
Above all we must have the spirit OF
charity and Of humility, considering our
selves, lest we be tempted. Your scribe
then denies the use of any personal
names on this occasion. He denies
opposition to the resolutions passed, and
that he may not be misunderstood furth-
or, he now takes the stand ho always
has held with Rev. Arthur Gray. Rev.

all the other good people OF this COM

of the Roses over again, but these con-
tended for principle and not for a sue
cession; the strife of a hundred .ears
they condensed into four.
Ten years ago they were here, and men
and women thronged the sidewalks, and
many tear-flled eyes watched those gray
haired men go by, bearing their faded and
battle-torn flags.
1t may be that their carriage was not
so erect, their uniforms so bright, their
alignment so near perfect, as is the case
with the holiday soldiers of inaugural and
other occasions, but there was a deeper
significance, far beyond the glitter and
fanfare which accompany the installa-
ton of a new President.
But if the soul of the great highway
could speak it would be, first, Of that
event which stands above all others in it's
history and traditions-the great review
of the armies of Virginia and of Georgia
and of the Tennessee, which occurred
on the Odd and 24th of May, 1865. No
scene in human history has ever APP
preached in significance, the pageant Of
these two triumphal days.
There may have been more brilliant
scenes. Imperial Rome decreed tri-

mighty throng of spectators went wild.
Whey made rush for the hero, and he
was forced to shake the hand Of more
than thousand men, women and chill

lands and loaded him and his aides with
huge lunches of flowers. By his side
rode Howard, and following were Hazen
and Logan and Blair and Slocum. A
future President of the United States,
Gen. Harrison, led a brigade in that

touch OF comedy which everywhe ere
hes so close to the tragic was displayed
by some of Sherman's men who brought
up the rear of the marching divisions.
There were colored "uncles" and "aunt-
les" and 'pickaninnies" mounted upon
mules; there were goats and mich COWS,
and donkeys, being led by the men: there
were pet owls blinking in the sunlight;
there were pack mules laden with bacon
sides and cured hams and live squawking
fowls of the barnyard. These were '.Sher-
mans Bummers.'
And yet, in all the rejoicing of these
two memorable days-the tears and the
laughter and the shouting-there must

Jay Cooke, the noted Philadelphia
banker who handled the larger part Of
the $2.OOO,OO0,0O0 of bonds issued by
the United States government to defray
the expenses of the Civil War, had a
second attack Of brain congestion the
other day at his summer home near Put
Bay, Ohio. He is over so years old.
In his day Jay Cooke was the most
prominent figure in American financial
circles. He was born at Sandusky, Ohio,
in 1921, and began his active business
life with u. w. Clark & Co., bankers,
at Philadelphia. In 1858, in connection
with his sons, he established the great
house Of Jay Cooke & Co. This was be-
fore the days of great captains of indus
try, trust promoters and multl-million-
aires, and yet his financial operations
were on a great scale. 1t was no small
operation to handle the larger part of the
$4,000, 100000 bonds issued by the gov
eminent during the war Of the rebellion,
but he did it easily and most success
fully. His next important venture was
not so successful, for, after promoting
several minor enterprises, he undertook
the financial management of the North
ern Pacific Railroad construction. A
financial depression ensued in 1873. The
house failed and a disastrous panic en-
sued. Jay Cooke however, saved some
thing out of the wreck and retired to
Ogontz, Pa, where he spent the re-
mainder of his days so quietly that he
had almost been forgotten.

en- years ago, when the battle-scarred and
crippled warriors of the Republic trod in
triumphant array over Pennsylvania ave-

brother.
What a story the soul of that famous
highway could disclose if it had speech!
1t could tell of high hopes, of vaulting
ambition, of blighted prospects, of proud
hearts bowed and broken. Presidents,
Senators, political leaders, both naval and
military, have traversed it's length. In
the long ago it was the haunt of Benton
and Clay, of John Quincy Adams and of
Calhoun. Five of the nations rulers,
three of them martyrs, have been borne
to the tomb over it's pavements.
Since the days of Jackson it has been
the scene of glittering pageants on each
recurring inaugural day, and Of late
years these displays have been nasnih-
