What then have we here, clear.

silence, that the Sarah Law Chap
ter had made q malignant attack
Through anonymous letter upon
Mrs. A. L. Brevard. President of
another Chapter in your Devision.
Again that this anonymous letter
was written and sent by Mrs. T.
j. Latham, Honorary President
Iof your Division. Again this
Honorary President of yonr Di-
vision, Mrs. I. j. Latham, has
uttered and published in the
News-Scimitar Of July 16 a will
ful and deliberate falsehood. Now
then, have not both the Sarah Law
Chapter and Mrs. 7. j. Latham
most clearly violated the provi-
sion of your constitution above,
and has not Mrs. /. j. Latham
been guilty of immoral conduct
such as the provision of your by
laws above for which it demands
"She shall be expelled"
You see | am not in the least con-
cerned in the above. 1t all took
place a month before | had any
thing to do with this controversy.
How then can you say it is only a
personal controversy between
sGen. Tyler and Mrs. Latham ?"
1t was the revelation of this con-
spiracy between 4. j. Latham, his
wife and the Sarah Law Chapter
by Mrs. A. l.. Brevard and her
information that Mrs. I. J. Latham
bad openly boasted that she would

Southern Cross of Honor, or to

the case of the Sarah Law Chap
ter, they wilfully and deliberate
ly misquote a letter of mine, also
my circular letter, in order that
they might denounce me, also like
their paragon of virtue, they
charge me with deliberate false
hood for saying they had received

ever received it when in fact they
had so received it and had it print

facts | shall present to your Con-

the story as she wrote IT that she
was banished with the Woolfolks,
who, she said, were her personal
and political friends and members
of the same church and "left Pa

guard of a dozen negroes. /" have
proven this to be absolutely false
by all three of the Woolfolks now
living, by Mrs. A. l., Brevard and
Mrs. Joe Overall, who were also
Of the banished party, the above
FIVE constituting all the survivors.
| have published also the state
ment of Joe RaIston, who says; 81

Der Of other prominent people Of
Paducah who were at the time resi-
dents of Paducah, familiar with
the circumstance of the banisE-
ment, and all agree that they never
heard Of Mrs. Latham being ban
ished. And although Mr.. and Mrs.
Latham have both visited Padu-
cab since this controversy and had
other agents at work, they have
never yet been able to get state
ment from living soul that they
had ever heard Of Mrs. Latham
having been banished. Hence, /
repeat that you now know, and
the world knows, that Mrs. I. j..
Latham in writing, speaking and
publishing her story OF Danish
ment has been knowingly guilty
of wiIful and deliberate falsehood.

such she shall be expelledg Do

Madam: The haste with which
you gave out an interview to the
Nashville Banner and Tennessean
the afternoon of the day on which
called upon you, and the clearly
manifest error in which you state
the object Of my interview with
you compels me to make reply in
an open letter for publication.
IN the first place, ! did not, nor
do ( now, or ever shall, call upon
you or your Division to in any
way interfere with or take action
concerning any personal contro-
versy between the Lathams and
myself. | feel perfectly compe-
tent to take care of myself. Now
that you, and all members of your
Division, may clearly understand
what it is that ! demand they
should consider and take action
on, l will briefly state the matter.
First, | find the object of your
association clearly stated in the
second article Of your constitution
ssLt will endeavor to draw into
closer bonds of friendship all its
members, and by unity of action
TO accomplish greater results in
honoring Confederate dead, in
charity to needy Confederate Vet
Grams and their families, in obtain
ing and preserving material for
truthful history of the war and
having it correctly taught in
schools, that the children of our
Southland may reverence and hon-
Or Confederate heroes, living and
dead Again, section 5, article 2
of your bylaws says--"Shou
any member be guilty Of immoral
conduct she shall be expelled"
Now let us see if these provisions
have not been hagrantly violated,
not only by Mrs. i. J. Latham,
but sundry chapters Of your Di-
vision acting as chapters.
In March last Mrs. i. j. La
than, with the assistance of her
husband, prepsred and delivered
to the Sarah Law Chapter ma
lignant letter attacking a number
Of ladies' of your Division without
naming them, but she said, II
have conclusive reason for being
fully satisfied there are several in
the plot"
This letter to the Sarah Law
Chapter caused to be piHnted for
distribution, SO T. j. Latham
wrote me March 6, 1907. On the
18th day Of April, 1907, copy Of
this letter was mailed from the
Memphis Post Office, accompanied
By 4 letter addressed to Mrs. A.
Il. Brevard, President Of the Leon
idas Polk Chapter, Union City,
Tenn, as follows:
April 12, 1907.
Madam:

in Memphis last April, 1907, you

Although the Sarah Law Chap
ter has been called upon through
the public press to disavow any
connection with the above, they
have not done so, but have per-
mitted the charge to stand con-
fessed that it was done by and
with their knowledge and consent,
in fact that they were guilty as a
Chapter Of making the attack.
Most clearly this is a violation of
the provision of your constitution
above. Nor is this all. Mrs. A.
l.. Brevard has through the pub
lie press charged that the above
letter was in the handwriting of
Mrs. L. j. Latham, a member Of
the Sarah Law Chapter, an Hon
orary life President of the Tennes-
see Division. Now here is a plain
distinct charge made by a Pres.
ident of one Of your Chapters,
that an Honorary President has
written an anonymous letter to
her, attacking her with falsehood
(making false chargesj. Nor is
this all.
In the July l6 issue of the News
Scimltar is an interview with Mrs.
L. j. Latham in which she says,
Amy connection of my name
with that letter is falsehood." "
Thus denying that she had written
and sent it. Mrs. Brevard has,
through the public press, chal-
lenged both the Sarah Law Chap
ter and Mrs. /. j. Latham, that
she would meet them before any

and address for comparison with
other signed and recognized letters

tion. | pro-offered to do the same
thing with you in my recent inter-

failure to accept Mrs. Brevard's
offer. The evidence is simply ov-
srwhelming and crushing. If you

 According to Ernest Flagg, the ar chitect, the slieing is necessary in order that the eleven-story building shall con form in height and outline to the new fourteen-story addition.
 Instead of actually raising the four top floors inclosed under the mansard roof, the roof and structural material will be removed in sections to the ground. The eighth, ninth and tenth floors will then be built on, after which the old mansard roof, inelosing the four additional floors, will be replaced sec ton by section.-New York Herald.

autumn and two more have just been ordered there.
 Common sense compels one to regard such policy as calculated to provoke the very result which the United States desires to avoid. So long as Japan ap- pears to be in n situation of overwhelm- ing superiority in the Pacific she is not likely to adopt more conciliatory atti- tude toward the United States, and the dispatch of American cruisers to the far east two or three at time is more liable to excite Japanese susceptibilities than to soothe them. While making every effort to preserve peace the Unit ed States should so arrange it's affairs that an outbreak of war might not find it unprepared, as was the case with Rus sia. That it is unprepared at present IS revealed in the navy department s sudden decision to rush coal to the Pacific stations.
 This is step in the right direction. and it should be followed up by con centration of all American battleships in the Pacifc-not to provoke war, but to preserve peace.-New York Herald.

HOW TO PRESERVE PEACE

Whatever can be the declarations of the peace congress now assembled at The Hague, it is indisputable that the world in general is distrustful of the Japanese American situation.
 Without having any particular desire to play the role of Cassandra, the Her aid is compelled to acknowledge that some justification exists for this feeling It is true that the United States desires peace, but is such a desire sufficient to guarantee that peace will be main taiI,ed3 The recent history of the far east supplies very categorical reply in the negative to that question.
 Only few years ago Japan and Rus sia were the principals in controversy somewhat analogous to the one now in- volving the United States and Japan. The issue of the controversy was the Russo-Japanese war. Is there no req son to dread that the issue of the pres. ent difficulty may be japano- American war; History often repeats itself, and it seems to be preparing repetition at present.
 During the negotiations with Japan Russia continued to send insignificant attachments of naval and military forces to the far east just as the United States is now doing. Judged in the light of later events, it is evident that such policy was suicidal. The Russo Japanese war might have been averted and would in all probability have end ed differently had Russia grappled with the situation boldly by pouring troops into Manchuria and sending all her war ships to the far eastern waters.
 At the present moment the United States is repeating Russia s mistake. Instead of concentrating the entire American navy in the Pacific, where it might prove efficacious in maintain ing peace and would certainly be in valuable in the event of war, the Wash ington administration is keeping Amer. ican battleships in the Atlantic, where they are not needed, and sending few cruisers to the far east, by twos and threes, as sort of appetizer for the Japanese. Four armored cruisers were dispatched to the Pacific station last

Professor Wiley's Food and Drink

Professor II. W. Wiley, the govern ment s chief pure food expert, is thor oughly normal in all of his habits. Per sons unaequainted with Dr. Wiley are naturally prone to believe that he ex- ercises great caution in the selection of his eatables and drinkables. On the contrary, he seems quite as careless in this regard as the average American. In his club in Washington, ss well as in his home, he eats whatev, is set before him without asking al 7 ques- tions about its purity, origin or prepar- ation. He is no more abstemious than other normal persons, and although, at the request of his fellow members, he selected for his club a brand of Scotch whisky which stood the sevcrest test of his scientific analysis, he is not par ticular about being served with that brand whenever he may order Scotch. Dr. Wiley's attitude toward his coun- trymen in the matter of comestibles is that announced by the ancient peda- gogues: Do as l say, not as I do.
