May 10 and in Tennessee the second
Friday of May. The birthday of JEFF
ferson Davis, June 3, is known as

just 100 years ago, Mr.. Davis was born

1t is happy comment upon the res
toration of the fraternal spirit to be
able to say that in many places the
Union veterans place flowers upon the
graves of blue and gray alike. and this
tribute is duplicated by the United
Confederate Veterans in many Gene
teries where the dead of both sides are
buried.
The first Decoration day" recorded in
authentic history was early in 1867,
just two years after the close OF the
war between the states. In the Gene
terry at Columbus, Miss, the tender
hearted women of that town placed
beautiful fiowersson the graves OF both
southern and northern dead. An
Ithaca IN. " lawyer, who sometimes
wrote excellent verses, but never pub-
ished them. read OF this incident in
the newspapers. He was deeply
touched. After thinking the matter
over he sat down at his desk and
penned the lines of the most famous
lyric having 10 do with the civil war;
This lawyer-poet, Francis Miles Finch.
author OF The Blue and the GRAY
died only last year, having enjoyed
Tor forty years the reputation of writ
ing poem which perhaps more than
any other single piece of literary work
contributed TO the healing of the
wounds OF war and the reunitIng of the
two sections In fraternal bonds. He
was Induced TO have the poem pub
lished shortly after he wrote IL, and at
once IL went the rounds OF the press.
Ii was clipped and pasted into many a
scrap book now grown scar with age.
Those who could not procure printed
copies wrote out the lines for preser-
walton. The Blue and the Cray" goes
Into all the anthologies and Is read and
reread with the same appreciation both
north and south throughout our united
country.

In recent years many efforts have

buried without identification. This
TASK obviously is highly difficult.

the aid OF old records, diagrams of
burial places and the like, the majority
OF the unknown dead must remain al

MS those at Sharpsb6E (Antietam),

That quaked beneath their martial tread!
What hearts were theirs what hearts of hope
That urged them to doom's eclipse
TO lie with cold and bloodless lips
On sodden plain purple slope!
What valor theirs, and all for naught!
What knightly, high devoted souls
upbore them bravely toward the goals
Where only wreck at last was wrought!

Their whited phantoms from the past.

QUITE A SURPRISE
Radical Change In Congress-

indianapolis, Nov. 5.-A radical
change in lndiana's representation in
the national house of representatives
was the most striking feature of the
election. The latest unofficial returns
complete give the Democratic party
eleven members and the Republicans
two. This is a gain Of seven mem.
bers for the Democrats, the former
representation being nine Republicans
and four Democrats.
William H.. Taft carried the stat
for president, according to incomplete
returns, by about 5000.
Thomas r. Marshall and the entire
Democratic state ticket are probably
elected by a plurality around $4,000.
AS the returns come slowly rolling in
Marshall's plurality increases while
the vote on the Republican national
ticket decreases.
The state legislature is probably
Democratic, which means that a Dem.
ocratic to Senator !. mes
:, Hemenway will be chosen. In this
.%onnection the name Of John w. Kern
is mentioned.

Hughes Majority in New York
State About 10000.

New York, Nov. 5.-The pluralities
of Taft for president and Hughes for
governor in New York state have not
been materially changed by more
complete returns. With eighty out of
1859 districts missing, Taft's plurality
has been raised TO 99,5S5, an increase
of about 1900 from the earlier esti-
mate, and with ninety-seven districts
missing and t%hirty-five estimated
Hughes plurality for governor has
been reduced to 59,S1a.
Late returns leave no doubt upon
the election of the full Republican
state ticket by substantial pluralities
all along the line.
While Taft carried New York city
