SECESSION UPHELD
An Able and Interesting Paper by Mrs. Lucy G. Yerger
Before the Local Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy

Our schools, interwoven with the texts
of Jurisprudence, and maintained by
scholars, statesmen, constituencies Of
all States and sections of the coun-
try. We must not forget that our
forefathers, with scarce less attach
ment to the British Government and
with far less conflict of interest, had
set the precedent, seeding them
selves from the British empire,
and giving proud answers to all ac-
cusers in the new evangel of the
West that the people have a right to
alter or abolish government when
ever it becomes destructive to their
happiness or safety. Now, let us find
out who of all the people of our
country first threatened to avail them
selves of this privilege, this right.
Was it the people of the Southern
portion? No. We know it was the
people of the New England States.
They have always been the most
refractory States OF the Union. AS
| long as they were IN a minority and
/ hopeless of control of the govern
| ment. they stood strictly on their
States rights, in resisting such meas
ures as were unpalatable to them
even to the extremity of threatening
| secession. One of their first causes
| OF dissatisfaction with the genera
| Government was the purchase Of
! Louisiana, by Mr.. Jefferson, in 1903

power in the Southern States, to con

the States. not the people of tn
United States, in the aggregate. unit

bound to adhere"
It ranked for a long time in tn
breast of New England. The pur
chase was made as we have seer
IN 1905, and in 1871 the subject agai
came up for considerations this time
in the shape OF a bill before Congress

The study in American history as
prepared by the State historian Of
Daughters of Confederacy, for uni
form research by all the chapters
for March, is THE Hartford Comm
Convention" which met in 1914 They
are instructed to review the several
secession movements since the Con-
stitution, and show the general sem
timent on the subject:
Whether secession was the exer-
else OF right reserved to the States
and to the people" when the constf-
tutional compact was entered into,
as we believe it was, or whether our
fathers, inspired by the example OF
Washington and Jefferson and Henry,
had caught the spirit of Lexington
and Concord, and rebelled against
constituted authority, may be moot
ed question. But if we read their
lives Alright, if from their heroic valor
and frightfu sacrifices we catch that
inspiration to patriotism which rises
like an incense from the bloody horns
of the altar on which their lives were
offered up, then indeed will we have

Study Youg Face

In choosing hats the advice cannot be
too often given to study ones face and
head with the desired hat thereon from
all points of view. and with the merci-
less eye Of ones sworn enemy. It GER
tainly appears as though the great mass
of women bought anything which hap
pened to appeal to their fancy in the
fond idea that it was becoming" to
them.

head looked we'll on, and most hats
looking well on the head were not hand
some OF it. This, however, is carrying
the matter to an eEtre me, for a big
picture hat looks well of the head and
so do many millinery creations. but there
is no disputing the fact thai hats that
do not look half as well off the head
as others by which they are surrounded
do look much better on. In other words.
