Great Event Of the Great
Reunion--Unveiling of the
Jefferson Davis Monument.

nOhu5 d., Cuho O.-ln0
capiaal of Virginia today resumed
the glory of the time when it
was the capital of nation with
an ambition that was worldwide.
AS the moument to Jefferson Da
Wis, the president of the Confed-
crate States of America, was un-
yelled men who had fought for
that nations Lost Cause stood
with hair grayer than their old
uniforms to hear the eulogy of
their president and principles he
represented.
"Not in hostility ito others,
not to injure any section of the
country, not even for our own
pecuniary benefit, but from the
high and solemn motive of pro-
tecting the rights we inherited
and which it is our duty to trans
init unshorn TO our children"
In these, the words of Jeffer-
son Davis spoken before the I'm
tied States Senate on June 81,
1861, was the cause of the Con-
eracy presented before the ex-
soldiers of gray,the men who had
sacrificed for that cause. These
words of President Davis were
inscribed on the monument that
was unveiled, they were repro
duced in the speech of the day,
and found echoes In the breast of
veterans who fought for states
righ's which they believed in as a
matter of right and failed to sus.
tain in might.
Children of Richmond, three
thousand strong, had drawn the
monument to it's place through
two miles of spectators, just as
children Of that city had drawn
to It's place in capitol square the
monument to George Washing-
ton, the first president of the
United States of America, whom
Virginia gave to her country.
More happy still was the scene
today in which the Confederate
veterans were the spectators, the
guests of honor at a reunion that
was larger than any held in re-
cent years.
While their ranks are thinning @,
the veterans and their families
have been growing richer, more
prosperous than they had be-
lieved that they would ever be
when the dark cloud of recon-
struction had settled like storm
upon the fair Southland. And
so they were able 10 return to this
unyeiling, which will 90 do down
in history as the:memorial event
In the story of the Confederacy
as it lives in the hearts of Dixie.
General Clement A Evans of
Georgia made the principal ad-
dress of the day. When the veil
was drawn from the monument,
eyes were lifted upward from
the statue of Jefferson Davis to
the figure that crowned the pill
lar in the center of the COLON ade.
This is the allegorical figure of a
woman known as "Vindicatrix,"
