The new Governor OF Mississippi in his in
augural address says exactly what was to be
expected from him. He was chosen by the re-
dictionary elements over men who stood for
progress and justice to the negro as an express
sion Of their bitter spirit toward President
Roosevelt because he recognized the equal
rights of negroes as citizens under the law.
Governor Vardaman charges that the negro
race is as n whole rapidly deterorating, and
that education, instead OF preventing crime, pro-
NOTES it. He marshals figures to show that the
negroes of the North, who are better educated
than their Southern fellows, are also more
criminal. He asks for an amendment to the
State constitution authorizing the legislature
10 distribute the school fund between the races
ut its discretion. so as to turn all taxes paid
by white persons 10 white schools and keep the
negroes in practically entire illiteracy. This has
been a favortte ambition of his schoo! of poll
ticians in several Southern States but they
have so far been sgnally defeated whenever
the issue has been squarely made, and against
them are all the most intelligent white leaders
in the South, the college presidents of Southern
birth and education and progressive politicians
like Governor AycOck of North Carolina. These
men are as determined as anybody to maintain
the supremacy of white civilization in the South
but they realize that the only way to solve the
race problem is TO do justice and help the negro
to advance. The South cannot keep half its
population in barbarism without itself being
baTbarized.
The statements of Governor Vardaman about
the retrogression of the negroes are contra
dlcted by those Of hundreds Of unprejudiced OBJ
servers They are steadily increasing their
wealth. and coming more and more TO a reaIiza-
ton that there is no short cut to prosperity but
that they must follow Booker Washington's
advice and by hard and honest work and good
conduct make themselves respected Undoubt-
edIy after the abolition of slavery the negroes
were impracticable in their aspirations. II was
inevitable that they should be- but that they
nave not made progress and astonishing prog-
ress, in view Of their condition and antecedents
is not true. Perhaps no race starting from
utter savagery ever advanced faster than the
negro race in the United States The statistics
OF criminal negroes in the North are not fair 70
the race 1t is largely the adventurous who
come North, seek the cities and take on the
vices OF the whites. The negroes who are edr-
Gated ms their own wisest leaders wish are nor
criminals. They are working on farms and On

COLD WEATHER.

Frostbtten Americans. as they rub their
singing ears and beat together their numbed
fingers, complain bitterly that this winter is
almost intolerable. Could their sufferings be
alleviated by calling to mind that the Thames
in England in 1868. and again in 174o. was
frozen for many weeks solidly that
fairs were held upon the ice stiffened surface Of
the stream?
In 1884. it is said, parts OF the Mediter-
ranean Sea were crossed on ice. We all bear
in mind the horrors of the retreat from Moscow
OF Napoeon's Grand Army, and it should not
be forgotten that Boston HarbOr was sealed by
the cold in 1914, and navigation was suspended
entirely.
Let us take heart. then. and. as we buffet our
breasts. may cheer one another with the
comforting thought that even colder winters
than this have been known in past centuries.

train and transfer at Bridge-st, or he can go
across the river with the local passengers and
transfer at the Brooklyn terminal. Each plan
has its drawbacks At Bridgest. one is less
certain Of securing seat than at High-st., but
to make the change at the former point takes
less time and trouble than at the latter. From
the behavior of at least few Of those who in
sist effectlnG the transfer at the Brooklyn
terminal of the bridge it is apparent that they
are comparative strangers, and not regular
patrons. Perhaps the others, who have hitherto
chosen their route deliberately. may be per-
suaded to adopt the plan proposed by the Rapid
Transit Company. The experiment may work
better after Il little further trial.

The object of the Grand Army In Its
relation to civil life, and aside from its
traditional association and charitable
work, was to organize the victory
which had been won on the field OF
battle. The post rooms become schools
of loyalty, where reverence for the nag
as the symbol of the nation has been
persistently inculcated and where the
national idea has been constantly ex-
allied. Then came the work in the
schools of which mention has been
made and whereof all the land knows.
It is not too much to say that owing
to the far-reaching influence of the
Grand Army Of the Republic more
than to anything else the flag Is now
universally revered, and there Is no
longer any question in the land, either
in the North or South, that the Amer
lean people now constitute nation.
Day after day, as the glory Of their
achievements in all the arts of peace
is finding new acknowledgment n ev-
cry quarter of the globe, there comes
new evidence that they are a unit
the world encompassing power Of the
future-great, glorious, invincible.
But what of the men who won this
priceless heritage in the most stupen-
dous struggle Of the modern age?
They are passing, passing, swiftly
passing. More than ever now each
annual encampment brings home the
tragedy of death in life. More than
ever now each annual encampment
emphasizes the grim, solemn fact that
soon-all too soon-the Grand Army
of the Republic, with all that it SYM
bolizes, will be nothing but tradi-
ton. Figures that do not lie give
much food for thought-sad, intros-
pective thought.
In April, 1865, more than million
of men were In the military service OF
the United States. To these must be
added a roll of names which at that
time numbered over three hundred
and fifty thousand-the grand army
of. the dead.
During the four years of the desper-
ate conflict altogether 2,859,192 men
had been enrolled in the military SER
vice. There had been killed in bat
tie 67,05S; died of wounds and other
injuries, 1902; of disease, 224,5S6,
and from causes not classified, 24,S52
"a total death roll of 359,52S.
This vast army had taken part in
more than two thousand engagements,
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-05-27

many OF them of minor importance as
to the number of men engaged or re-
suits attained, while others were
mighty battles which strained all the
resources and tested the fullest pow
ers of endurance of the great oppos-
ing armies, to an extent which must
make the legend, which floated from
banner stretched across the front OF
the Capitol, while the conquerors
were marching by during those two
memorable days of the grand spectac-
ular peace review: "The Only Nation
al Debt We Never Can Pay is the
Debt We Owe the Victorious Union
Soldiers" ring down the ages forever.
1t was out of all this that the Grand
Army of the Republic grew into being
in 1873, with a membership Of only 3D.
O16, out of all those hundreds of thou
sands of veterans. But its growth was
inevitable-as inevitable as its decline
and death. In 1890 the organization
reached the high-water mark with an
enrolment of 409,4S9, since which
time it has diminished at the rate of
two, three, four, five, six, seven, yes,
and even eight thousand year and
more. In 1892 the roll had sunk to
263,745. In that year alone $500 an
swered their final summons.
Pause for a moment and think what
that means. Over eight thousand
members passing away every year and
the ratio increasing rapidly. Can your
mind grasp the figures in all their pa
thetic significance? Eight thousand
every year, and soon it may be nine,
ten, eleven-who shall say how many
more thousands-till the roster is to-
tally effaced.
Stand on the street when the men
who have come to live over again the
stirring days of the past go marching
by. Count them II you can and you
will find that there are nearly eight
thousand in line. II Is an imposing
array; a vast host, the like Of which
is rarely seen in one tense, eager body.
And then let your mind try to grasp
the thought that before another year
has passed all those marching thou

Stripes In Glory.
Since this nag went down on that
dark day who shall tell the mighty
woes that have made this land spec
tacle to angels and men? The soil
has drunk blood and is Quilted. Mil
lions mourn for myriads slain, or, en-
vying the dead, pray for oblivion.
Towns and villages have been RACED.
Fruitful fields have been turned back
to wilderness. 1t came to pass, as the
prophet said.
1.-The sun was turned to darkness
and the moon to blood"
The course of law was ended The
sword sat chief magistrate in half the
nation; industry was paralyzed; NOR
ais corrupted; the public veal invaded
by rapine and anarchy; whole states
ravaged by Navenging armies. The
world was amazed. The earth reeled.
When the flag sank here it was as II
political night had come, and all the
beasts of prey had come forth to de-
your. That long night is ended. And
for this returning day we have come
from afar to rejoice and give thanks.
No more war. No more accursed
secession. No more slavery, that
spawned them both.
Let no man misread the meaning of
this unfolding flag. 1t says:
Government has returned hither."
