The National tribune., 1906-09-20
Stealing WHISKY.

The National Tribune's articles on the
curse of rum seem to be rousng the
consciences Of some of the comrades,
and they are beginning to confess. Some
of them in writing to The National
Tribune desire their names withheld. as
they say that they have of late years
been trying to act so that the preacher
would have something good to say of
them when taps We're sounded
One comrade says that he does not
know who stole the last pig and chick
en-, but he. while having some time
hanging heavily on his hands after cap
turing Atlanta, watched tent which
seemed to be very popular with the Off
GERS. and taking the opportunity when
they had gone to dinner, filed his cam
teen from a barrel which he found. and
soon had enough to raise any quantity
of trouble in his company.
Another modest and contrite comrade
writes from town in Pennsylvania.
where he is Justice of the Peace and
goes to church, that he served four
years and one month in n Pennsylya-
MIA regiment, taking part in 13 battles.
In the Winter of 1862, while still in
camp in Maryland. he put in q rainy
day watching a Lieutenant smuggle
some whisky from the tavern in town
into camp. When the Lieutenant's back
was turned he got away with the demf-
john for the delectation of his own
company. He describes the dismay of
the Lieutenant. who had gone out to
invite his brother officers in to share
with him the fine liquor he had snug-
gled in. He submits to us a moral
question which we will pass on to our
readers for decision. Was he justified
in Furnishing the Lieutenant's offense
and promoting the sobriety of the Off
GERS of the regiment in stealing the
deniijohn? To-day he feels that whisky
is the greatest curse of the world. and
whatever he may have done to contrib
ute to the temperance of the officers of
his regiment was probably offset by the
deleterious effects upon his own COM
pany, who did not allow the whisky to
sour. He wants US to pronounce upon
the full measure of his guilt.
The National tribune., 1906-09-20
Wirz Monument.

It seems to J. H. Eastburn, First
Lieutenant. Co. E. 10th ILL.,. Sheldon,
ILL.,. that the boys are giving themselves
a great deal of unnecessary trouble and
worry about the Wirz monument. He
has too high an idea of the good sense
of the women of the South to think
that they mean seriously any commem-
Grafton of brutal, cowardly villain and
a plant tool. But if they do. what OF
it? Recently man in Detroit tried to
erect monument to the devil. but was
stopped by the authorities. If the mon
ument had been erected it would not
have helped Satan any, but would have
stood forever as disgrace to the build
er. The same will be true of the Wirz
monument.
