THE CONFEDERATE REUNION

The annual reunion Of the Conied-
crate Veterans at New Orleans calls to
mind thefact that the old COnicdsarc
growing fewer aud fewer each year,
and in this connection itismOst graft
fyingto Nirginians to know that this
Commonwealth has spread out ITS
hand 10 those who need it's help in "a
spirit of gratitudcand with alibcrali-
ty which will rebound to theevcIlast-
ilgcredit ofthe State. Virginia would
do more if she could, but what she
has done and is doing is something
we may well be proud OF. Gen.
Stephen d. Lee, in his address to the
veterans. calls attention to three
things which he says are peculiarly
left to their concern. and We might
add that two of his suggestions are
the concern of the entire Southern
people.
"One of these is the erection OF pub
lie monuments to our Confederate
dead. to our leaders, hut, above all.
to those private soldiers who made
our leaders immortal. We must not
overtask posterity 10y expecting
those who come after Us to build
IN )numents to heroes whom their
own generations were unwilling to-
commemorate. The South has
reached position of material pros
parity which justites both State and
private benefcence 10 honor the
faithful dead
The second thing is this: Let us
pass the remainder OF our days in
such wise that nothing We shall do
will bring shame and regret that We
also were Confederate soldiers.
Last OF all, let Us remember our
less prosperous comrades not fortu-
nate even in their death or in our
survival. to whom have been denied
wealth and good fortune, alas, too
often even the blessing OF health.
without which all Others avail but
little. Ii we can perhaps sweeten the
last years of these old men, bring
back. maybe. the light of other days
in their fading eyes, awake in their
hearts the great memories.they shall
bless Us in receiving more than we in
giving
There is something touching in the
remarks OF this old Confederate
soldier. something which should ap-
peal to us all. something which ap-
peals to the younger generation 10
resolve that all over this Southern
land of ours there shall be erected
monuments and memorials to the
men who fought beneath the Stars
and Bars of the Confederacy. And
vet Gen. Lee would have Us not for
get the living while remembering the
dead. 1t behooyes not only the
States of the South, but all OF their
people. to rival each other in their
efforts to provide for the last days
of the needy Confederates. Few OF
them are left now and they deserve
all that we can give them. Let II
never be said in the South that a
single ex-Confederate soldier died in
want or in distress.
