FAME EXTENDS FAR
Great Elm at lie Claire Known
ALI Up and Down the
Mississippi.
EARLY ASSOCIATIONS TREASURED
Piece of Artillery Given to Town to
be Stationed at Its
Base.

An hospitable old elm on the river
bank at lie Claire is the modest and
unconscious posessOr of the affection
ate interest of host of friends, not
only in lie Claire, but up and down the
river, and among river men and trav-
elers. and it is an affection and inter
est which has stood the test of years.
The old elm is not a stately statue
of nature, but it is symmetrical and
graceful, and spreads out the warm
and protecting cheer that invites a
friend in most every kind of weather
1t has passed into the second century
of its growth and is hale and hardy
and its great sweeping branches reach
out and droop with the benign kind
ness of n patriarch. Its branches give
it diameter of some 90 feet and it
has the rotund girth of about 27O feet
Far back in the early years before
lie Claire was much of town, the old
elm was n favorite resort for the boys
who used to seek its shelter and cool
breezes in the summer and to enjoy
its seclusion when they wanted to
take a dip in the river. Buffalo Bill,
the worlCl-famed Col. W. F. Cody. used
to pile his clothes around its roots
when he was tad of seven and was, in
this vicinity on Il visit to relatives He
loved to swim, and the old elm .rlvas
where he would usually be idfound
when an anxious mother sought heI
missing boy. The Cody family start
ed from Lone Grove, Ia, in 1852 with
a pack outfit to locate in Kansas, and
they stopped off in lie Claire to bid
old friends goodbye

battles Fought There.

And III those days there was many
an old score steeled meath the spread
ing branches of the tree. and one that
is most vivid was between Clint Park
hurst and the late James Henderson.
1t seemed there was a girl in question
and they came against each other
while i'll swimming, and the fight was
strictly in accordance with the Lon
don prize ring, but not to a finish for
the contestants were so nearly equal
in every particular that the battle was
draw.
In later years and during the time
the rafting business was at high tide.
it was the home for buns and
tramps, and river men, who were
broke and waiting to catch boat
either up or down, and it was given
the name of The Green Tree Hotel. .
hence the name. Green Tree, by which
it is known from one end of the river
TO the othed. If the old tree could talk
it could reveal many deep-laid plots
and plan to crack a safe or hold up Il
train, for all kinds of men have found
refuge under its protecting branches.
And today the people of lie Claire
love the old tree with n devotion
amounting almost to tllal affection
and there is nothing, however great or
important that would cause them to
sacrifice the old tree. When the D., r. /.
d y. w. railroad sought franchise
on city property on which to locate
its depot and switches, it was first
thought that the tree would have to
be removed to make room for the ne
ceSSarV buildings and switches but
the council would not vote for the
franchise if the tree had to be sacri-
feed. Frank =. Blair promised that
the old tree should never be molested
while root or branch of it remained
alive, and then the council voted for
the franchise. The road, during its
life time, made use of the tree in its
advertising. a conventionalized cut of
it being used on its folders and other
printed matter.

New-York tribune., 1903-07-26

The radicals who were dissatisfied with Lincoln
thought that Johnson. with his bitter hatred of
treason and his caste prejudice against the
Southern aristocracy, would support them in d
thoroughgoing policy Of securing the results of
the war How could they expect however that
man who had sat as a Senator for Tennessee
long after its secession could consent to any
theory Of reconstruction which denied the con-
unued existence of Tennessee as State Of the
Union after secession?
He was bound by his political traditions and
by the facts of his own career to stand for
state rights. Standing for them, he really oc-
cupied the position Of Lincoln and the whole
republican party at the beginning of the war.
Insurrection was to be put down and the Union
restored on the old basis. But it could not be
so restored. The severest critic OF Congressional
reconstruction must admit that the mere turn
ing over Of power to the whites lately in arms
would have meant the practical continuance Of
slavery. The early theory was based the
supposition that in the seeding States there
was a substantial loyal population which, if
aided TO put down insurrection, could maintain
loyal governments. No such element existed in
sufficient force TO dominate any State after
peace was restored. The Black Codes were suf-
fcient notice Of what would happen If John
sons plan carried out. The President
himself saw this, and as early as August, 1865
advised Governor Sharkey Of Mississippi to ex-
tend the franchise to negroes who could read
