CONFEDERATE
VETERANS
AND POLITICS

VETERANS siderable criticism
AND POLITICS of the Confeder-
ate veterans who
are having reunions and other meet
ings in various parts of the state in
which pO-1tics is made feature that
obscures the identity of the veteran
organization and is foreign to the resi-
purposes fer which meetings of t:le vet
Grams are held if the camps are to
eonfine themselves to the constitution
by which they are governed. This
criticism does not come from those
who are not allied with the Confeder-
ate veteran organizations but from
the veterans themselves. In fact, the
Graphic has heard no criticism except
from the Confederate soldiers. One
of the veterans called the attention
of the Graphic to the following sec
ton from article 19 of the constitu-
tion and bylaws of the United Con-
federate Veterans:
Section 1. No discussion Of polit-
ical or religious subjects. nor any po-
litical action, or endorsing of aspir-
ants for political office, shall be per
nlitted within the Federation of Unit
ed Confederate Veterans
these meetings at which politics plays
so important a part are held under
the auspices of the Confederate camps,
but it is observed that the meeting is
always herelded as IAN annual reun-
ion of the Confederate veterans" NAM
ing some camp. If the camp is not
having a reunion at which the consti-
tuition and bylaws are being violated
by the injection of politics. then the
camp should not permit the meeting
to be advertised as "the annual reun-
ion Of the Confederate veterans When
a Confederate camp permits such adj
yertising of a public gathering the
camp becomes responsible, and is in
directly violating the constitution by
which it is governed.
For example, take the meeting to
occur at Dewitt on August II. 1t
has been announced in the papers all
over the state that "the annual Con
federate reunion of Camp Pagan will
be held near Dewitt, Arkansas coun-
~, for four days beginning August

The committee or invitation has
invited Gov. Davis. Judge Wood and
"A

them that all will be treated with i'm
partiality, and that they will each be
accorded a fair hearing. The three
gentlemen mentioned have signified
their intention to avail themselves Of
the opportunity afforded to speak to
the voters.
Now what committee on invitation
has invited GOV. Davis, Judge Wood
and Mr. Vandeventer, the three guber-
material candidates, Ito be present and

about a subtle change which came
over Dick Stapleton.
Lady Sarah was obseryant, and no
ticed very clearly that Dick and the
handsome girl prolonged their even
ing chats more and more, and that as
they sat in the boat the gay laughter
she used to hear so distinctly and FREE
quently as she raced and rioted up
and down was seldom audible, now
that the summer was drawing to
close. She also noticed that they
both seemed to be terribly in earnest
over something, while previously
everything seemed a joke between
them, and they did nothing but say
lively things and laugh.
Lady Sarah knew that by the first
Of September she and her master
would take that horrid train back
again to that pretty little town far
away, and that she would again be
locked up nastufy, malodorous bag
gage car, with trunks piled up and
a bucket of stale water for her to
drink. The very thought of it made
Lady Sarah indignant.
So she counted the days, as she saw
Dick do, who every morning would
make pencil mark on an almanac
which hung on the wall of his room.
One evening the sour-looling man
who had been away came back, and
the handsome girl went out walking
with him.
Lady Sarah was with Dick, who
was going toward her cottage when
they came out and began walking
down the beach.
Dick went along the beach, as if he
had not intended going for her, and
passed them by with a smiling bow.
And when Lady Sarah ran up and
thrust her nose into the pretty girls
hand-which always smelt of fresh
violets-and jumped up on her, asshe
was in the habit of doing, because she
liked the friendly light in her big
gray eyes and loved to hear her gay,
imperious voice saying pleasant
things, Dick called her back sharply
and sternly, and forced her to go So
berly by his side.
Lady Sarah knew they were to
leave very shortly, and felt that Dicks
restlessness and unhappiness was
caused in some strange way by the
handsome girl, and she felt very sorry
for him.
So she stretched out on the piazza
and watched Dick with sympathy, as
he walked up and down, wrestling
with some hard problem, while the
moon silvered the broad expanse of
the ocean and the monotonous sound
of the surf filled. the air.
Dick sat down, and the stroke of
his hand on Lady Sarah's head as she
placed it on his knee told her all his
hidden thoughts.
1t was the next day-the last in
which Lady Sarah would bound over
the hard beach, chase sandpipers and
queer little scutthng crabs, plunge in
the salt sea, and leap through the
foam of the breakers, and Dick, being
busy, let her race out by herself for
one last frolic.
It was dusk when the handsome
girl came out alone, and seeing Lady
Sarah came quickly forward.
But she saw that she was alone, so
she sat down on the edge of the boat,
and, drawing Lady Sarah to her, said
strange, heart-broken things, while
glistening tears yelled the brilliancy
of the eyes Lady Sarah loved, because
they were 50 honest and true.
Lady Sarah determined to tell Dick
all about it; but the next day she
was locked up in the baggage car and
soon the train was steaming west
