 5ects ostiisea

Dr. Clarence !. Owens, Commander of the Alabama Division of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, has is- sued a general order from his head quarters at Abbeviile, announcing the staff whom he has apointed, and also giving list of the new brigade com nanders and staffs and the comrnittees for the prosecution of certain phases of the work of the organization.
 Attention is called in the general order to the coming reunion of the pas sing veterans of the war between the Etates, to be held at Richmond during the coming summer, and the Com mander gives as his opinion that it is probable the Richmond reunion will be the last really great gathering of the battle-scarred heroes of Dixie. 7 as the survivors are rapidly answer Ing the final roll call.
 The next division reunion. to pc held in Montgomery is also called to the attention of the Sons of the order. The members of the organization are urged to greater activity in be- half of the patriotic and historic purposes and aims of the sons.
 The general order follows.
 T. We should be proud of the fact that our division ranks first in our great confederation. With history of only half "a hecade, wonderful strides have been made in the accom- plishment of the patriotic objects for which we stand pledged. Our di- vision has been peculiarly blessed, through the personal leadership of our distinguished Commander. Chief. pr Thomas H. Owen. and in having with in our borders the headquarters of the Confederation.
 "The annual reunion held in Mobile November 20-26. 1906. eclipsed all others in the hospitality extended. In the entertainment provided, in the en- thusiastic attendance. in the endorse ment of patriotic activities. and in the general spirit of ardent patriot ism. which characte -ized the conven- ton. am truly grateful to my com rades for honoring me with the lead ership of the division for this reunion year.
 1t Is a matter of special interest that the next general reunion will be held in Richmond The Jamestown Elk position will be in progress. the n1Onu- fnent to President Jefferson Davis will be unveiled, excursions will DC run to the historic battie-fiefds of Virginia. and for the first time the n. e. v.. the U. s. c. v., and the U D. C., will meet at the same place.
 The survivors are answering sc rapidly to the final roll call. that II is probable the Richmond reunion will be the last really great gathering of the battles scared heroes of Dixie 1t is further a matter of interest thai the next division reunion will be helc in Montgomery, the first capital oi the confederany.

had woke up to the political possibili-
ties of that role. In Tennessee there
seems to be a Folk boom, judged by
the fact that Late Brown, an enter

he insists that these crimes do not
warrant arbitrary reprisals." This is,
perhaps, true. But the fact that a ma
jority of the New York legislature, and
probably a vast majority of the peo-
pie of that state and of the whole
union, have been irritatcd by the
crimes of railroad managers, until they
deem such legislation necessary, is a
matter for serious thought. 1t is very
well to be reminded that i'll such mat
tiers democracy must demonstrate its
capacity to act upon deliberation and
to deal justly"
But the fact remains that the earn
ings of the railroads are by their own
showing greater today than ever be
fore, and that very little deliberatiOu
is necessary to reach the conclusion
that, as rule, 2-cent fare is enough
to insure a reasonable return upon the
capital invested, after deduCting oper-
ating expenses. The democracy of
which Governor Hughes speaks so flu
emily seems TO us to be denatured dem
ocracy, altogether different from the
ancient Jackson grand, which inclineS

ment for injuries.
