How names call up recollections. Thirty
seven years ago | was hunting on the
headwaters of Queen and came back by
the old Warren road and over German
Hill to Tionesta. Conrad Iuendel, uncle
of the present Conrad, was living on the
Kser place. VIM. Heath, then strong,
homestead. We had wagon load of deer.
We took dinner at Mr.. Heath's, stopping
for while during a downpour of rain.

see by the papers that service PEN
sion bill has been put before the House
of Representatives. That is about the
only way to do justice to the men who
stood the brunt of he fight. Years in
Libby Prison or Andersonville should be
paid for at greater price than trip
down South, and no smell of powder,
maybe TOR three months, and then dis
charged. The spirit OF the enlistment
was probably the same, but the suffering
o. some was greater Money cannot re-
pay many of the old veterans for what
they went through. A service pension
would ease it up somewhat, but never in
full.
The controversy that is going on over
Governor Vardaman's theory-that edu-
cation makes the negro worse-calls from
the Memphis Commercial Appeal the
statement that Major Vardaman's argu-
ment is incontrovertable. and among
other things says, "this lack OF moral
sense makes thieves and robbers and
murderers of them by the wholesale.
Education has not benefited him men-
tally, morally or spiritually. The most
eloquent, most scholarly, and the most
brilliant negro Bishop Of America-a
man who was educated ct Harvard-is
one of the most VIGOROUSLY lewd and
profigate members of his race. He rep
resents what we know to be the worst
status of the negro ministry" To show
argument, consider Lord. Byron, his life
and character. Does his life condemn
the whole Anglo-Saxen race? Not atall.
And yet his race had about 1900 years OF
experience and education before his time.
To make things equal in our judgment
Of the negro and Anglo-Saxon races, we
would have to 60 back to the conquest OF
the British Isles by the Romans. | have
no doubt but that the Roman senators
and generals thought about the same
concerning the natives of England that
groes of the Southland, yet the Roman
senators and generals, representing the
highest civilization of that time, were
lewd beyond compare. How about Nero
and his fiddling at Rome, and his life
How about Bloody Mary? Henry VIII
did not stop at one murder to satisfy his
ungodly lust and lewdness. How about
those that murdered our veterans at Lib
by and Andersonville? What had edu-
cation done for them? How about the
civilizing influence OF burning negro al
the stake? The lewdness, lust, rapine
and murder is not all on the side of the
negro. MORE ANON.
