"PRAISE FROM SIR RUPERT"
The Manager of the Leading Temperance
Paper Highly Praises The National
TrIbuae's Articles ON the Drink Demon.

Editor National Tribune: You certain
" deserve the best wishes of all the
temperance people of America for your
splendid series of articles upon the
drink curse in recent issues of The Ma
tional Tribune. In this weeks New
Voice we have taken the liberty of re-
producing (of course with full crediD
the second article OF that series. entitled
THE Beer Octopus" and can only wish
that we could do more to get its con-
tents before our people everywhere. We
should be very happy. indeed. to have
The National Tribune upon our ex-
change list. and would be glad to recip-
rocate by sending you the New Voice.
We are just now engaged in rousing
the temperance people of the country
to the great need of greater harmony
and more united effort against the
liquor traffic. and are sure that when
once the overwhelming necessity of such
action has been impressed. upon tina
millions who oppose the liquor traffic
by such articles as those which you are
publishing. and through the agitation in
which we have been engaged for years.
there will be hearty response to our
appeal. We believe that the time has
come for movement of political CO.
operation, not so much in direct oppo-
sition to any party lines. as it should be
above and beyond all petty partisan linn
itations. and we believe that the IRE
mendous awakening of public sentiment
during the last few years will soon
prove of vital benefit to the great re-
form. To this end we are asking lead
ers of thought along patriotic lines to
give to our people their views on this
subject of cooperation. What in your
opinion. would be the most effective and
feasible plan for such a new union OF
forces?
We should be glad to have an express
sion of your personal convictions upon
this subject for an early issue of tho
New Voice.
With kind regards and heartiest good
wishes for your brave stand in this re-
form. I am. very sincerely-Fred ID. Ia

Patriotic Edueatiop.

D. E. Proctor. Wilton, N. H., Patriotic
Instructor. Department of New Hamp-
shire, G. A. R., in his annual report
urges the necessity of keeping our Flag
and the principles 1t represents mailed
solid to the mast" to impress upon all
foreigners who come to live with US
that it stands for no one man. but belongs
alike to all good Americans. He puts
great stress upon the teaching of true
patriotism in the schools. which would
be greatly accelerated if the laws al
ready on the statute books were enforc-
ed. The law requiring the display of
the Flag on school houses is not prop
erly carried out. Instead of floating
every day. rain or shine, as on a war;
ship, it is too apt to be used on occa-
sions only. 1t should be hoisted with
simple ceremonies every morning. and
taken down in the same manner at
close of school at night. The law which
requires the reading of the Constitution
in the schools as generally carried out,
is perfect farce. Adequate courses in
Civil Government dwelling more on the
duties of good citizens, rather than on
the machinery of Government, should
be provided for the grammar schools
He also strongly recommended that the
teachers do more to bring to the knowl-
edge of scholars the patriotic literature
of the country, such as DIR. HaIe's Man
Without Country" There is an abun-
dance of this of the highest order with
which toe few children are acquainted.

A Historic Site.

The people of northwestern Okla
horna are moving to have preserved a
monument to the famous Santa Fe Trail
through Oklahoma. Near Mineral, In
Beaver County, are some remains of old
Camp Nichols, which was established
by Brig.-Gen. Kit Carson in 1865. This
was the only Army post along the Santa
Fe Trail in Oklahoma, and was in what
was afterwards known as No Mans
Land. Gen. Carson was in command of
the forces in New Mexico and southern
California, and had constructed the
Camp Nichols Barracks and buildings of
native stone. Camp Nichols was one of
the chain of forts from Kansas to New
Mexico. which protected the great trail.
The land on which it stands becomes the
property of the new State of Oklahoma,
and is part of that to be devoted to edu-
cational purposes. At the time Gen.
Carson built the fort he was conducting
a campaign against the Cheyennes.

TeXas Politics.

w. T. Green. Corporal, Co. d, 10th
Ohio, Westminster, Tex. takes issue
with Comrade Nathan Lang's statement
regarding Texas politics. The falling
off of the Democratic vote during Chair
man Lyons administration was much
greater than that of the Republicans,
owing to the new election law which
compelled poll tax receipt to be pre-
sented when offering to vote. 1t was
also alleged that as great many rural
mail boxes had been put up by the
Post Office Department throughout the
State a great many Democrats voted in
them instead of at the polls. Comrade
Green denies that Lyon has discriminat-
ed against the veterans. but says that.
all other things being equal the veter-
ans have had the preference.

Unwise to Discriminate.

Joel A. Haycock, G. A. R. Post, "a,
Calais. Me-, thinks there should not be
any discrimination in pension matters
in favor of the men who went to the
war in '61. Many men who went out in
"a. and even '65, saw more fighting and
had much harder time than the early
men. For instance, the 31st and 32d
Me. were not in the war long, but things
went lively for them while they were
there, and they left more of their COM
rades in the South who died on the field
of battle than many an older regiment
This, however. should make no differ
ence when 1t comes to the question of
pensions. All the men who did what
was required of them should be treated
alike. To show favor is to make hard
feeling. Let us not do this after all
these years of peace.
