: THE BURIAL OF
GEN. JOE WHEELER. !
Montgomery Journal. I
Montgomery Journal.


The spontaneous outbreak of uni
versal admiration, appreciation, graf
itude and sectional pride in General
Wheeler and his career demonstrated
by the people Old and young, who
live in the st4tes that composed the
Southern Confederacy, are not to be
lightly considered
This eminent citizen of Alabama
Brooklyn New York, on business. He
was buried to-day at Arlington, the
burial ground of the United States.
General Wheeler should not be dis
posed of as a soldiery of fortune, He
was man of position and eminence
in civil life and in that capacity was
well identified for nearly half a cen
tury with the soul and the civil institu-
tons of Alabama.
The wife of his youth and the
mother of his many children lies
buried on Alabama soil, family prop
erty, their inherited property. His
family live on their inheritance. But
what did he do to forfeit final rest
ing place there?
1t cannot fail to cast SHADOW over
the heart impulses of Alabamians and
of all the southern people, that the
.Iesplendent form Of Joseph Wheeler,
won so nObly and without blot in
their pecuHar service, should be reck-
Oned by any authority. private or pub
lie, as a mere incident of his life.
Wheeler was not an accident in his
career as leader of southern youths.
He was born soldier. The land of
his birth reared on her fair bosom
many others like him, that were his
cOm-patriOts and his comrades. Allen
and Harmon and Hogan and Kirkpat-
rick and thousands of Alabamians
rode where ne lea. They are entitled
to share his fame. They are buried
on the soil they fought most glorious
ly to defend. Why separate Wheeler
from them in death, Shame on IT,
There is too much of the chantileer
in the officiOusnesS of the federal au-
thOrities over the obsequies and place
chosen by them for the grave of this
southern hero. He won his right to
immortality in defense of a principle
That principle was not born to die at
Washington and go to its grave on
cOnfscated Arlington.
1t is a grevious wrong thrown up
on the page of history. to offer the
name of Wheeler to it as a soldier of
fortune.

The Memphis COmmeTcial-Appeal
deduces the following from the official
report upon the recent epidemic Of
yellow fever in the southern states:
The Official report upon last sum-
mer's visitation of yellow fever leads
saniJarians and scientists to declare
that the south can never be ravaged
again by the pest with anything like
the fatality attendant upon some of
its former visits.
There were 10.S00 cases OF the dis
ease throughout the entire territory
affected. This number is not greatly
in excess Of the typhoid cases in
Philadelphia alone. The death rate
vas 1916 per cent, which is not I'M
duly alarming. From the report itself
il is seen that the disease has lost its
terror which in former years caused
fatal mistakes. Ii is shown, TOO, that
the saner spirit of reporting the
malady to the authorities has gained
much ground with the ignorant classes
and il is insisted that with the help
Of accurate reports this sort Of
plague can be handled successfully
and finally stamped out without the
aid of frost.
Thus it seems that science has
numbered another great victory TO its
81 ore Of useful deeds, and that through
it the south has been delivered from
a more terrible yellow dragon than
any ever demanding victims in the
land Of myths and romance.

INVESTIATIoN or
THE PANAMA CANAL. :
Z
Jacksonville Times-URion. Z
\

From the very beginning the senate
investigation of the Panama canal
has brought to light facts not at all in
keeping with the Presidents assei-
ton, that everything was as it should
be in connection with work on the 18TH
mus. He who sees nothing improper
in irty-thousand-dollar Chairman
ShOnts drawing from railroad an ex-
ira So 600 a year as a salary for
which he renders no service, is not
easily shocked. People will wonder
how it was known that Mr.. Shonts
was so valuable as to command a sal
airy equal to nearly half that paid to
the Presidents entire Cabinet-edual
to the salary of six congressman.
They will know he is not worth it. and
that a man equally capable could
have been found to fill the place if
the salary had been only half as large.
Then. what right has Mr.. Shonts TO
draw salary from a railroad with
out doing any work? There is no use
mincing matters It is dishonest. We
cannot be sure that Mr.. Shonts is Civ
ing all his time to the service of the
canal company. We have only his
word for it, and the word of a man
who would bleed the stockholders of
a company by accepting from the di-
rectors pay for doing nothing is nOt
enough to settle the question.
Mr.. Shonts admitted the importa-
ton of women into the canal zone,
ana that the government paid to take
them there. He said that these
women were the families of the labor
ers from Martinique. This may or
may not have been true, but until it
is disprOven We will accept II as true.
But even then, what right had the
commission to pay the expenses or
their transportation TO the canal zone?
Is there any appropriation for moving
the families of government employees
flom one place to another In the
absence of such an appropriation he
who used government money for this
ton of funds.
All this Mr.. ShOnts admitted as
brazenly as the insurance presidents
who are now in disgrace Haunted forth
their rascality at first They seemed
To have no sense Of decency then. He
seems 70 have none now. They
learned by their lasting humiliation
and disgrace. and some of them tried
TO make amends. he has not learned
Yet. Will the senate teach him?
Is the American government Jess
honest than the American people? II
so, the men who are responsible for
II will be driven from power with
soourges that will make marks that
will remain forever The develop
ments already made are disgraceful
and whoever tries TO uphold the
reckless disregard for honesty shown
by the use made by the Commission
Of public money will find that an out
ragged public can strike government
officials as hard as it has already
struck insurance officials and municip-
al grafters.
