Noble Sentiments.

AT a recent Confederate reunion
held in Sulphur, Oklahoma, Hon.
Ross N. Lilliard concluded note
worthy speech on " Why believe
the Southern Confederacy was
Right" as follows:
''Let us all pledge ourselves in
this hour, as | shall pledge myself
and those that are to follow me,
that in days to come to watch the
South's interest, teach her tradi-
tons and principles as being right,
to advance her fortunes, defend
her fame and guard her honor so
long as life shall last. Let us
have no ambition but to be first at
her service, no hope but after a
long life of devotion to sink to
sleep upon her breast, and when
we of the younger generation shall
have answered the last roll call,
as many of you of the older gen.
GRAFTON will soon do, it shall be
written of us: They were sons
of the South, loyal and brave,
faithful unto the end. They per-
formed their duty and theirs shall
be a crown of truth and loyalty
and history of success.

the American people could be

the manufacturers are crippled

greater state of perfection in this
country than in any other.

dred years ago when the Bar
barry pirates attempted to levy
tribute upon American commerce
entering the Mediterranean, the
United States, though then a
weak and infant nation, promptly
resented the injury to her citizens
and dealt the Barbary States a
blow from which they never re-
covered. To-day the United
States, by means of an Ubiquitous
tariff system, licenses and pro-
tects domestic pirates who prey
upon her citizens and damage her
commerce to an extent compared
with which the Barbary outrages
were a mere drop in the bucket.
Fredericksburg Journal: Evil
men, public plunderers, are al
ways in politics. while the better
element only show their mettle at
some time of great crisis. No
community can have good gov
eminent unless the better classes

the plunderers fight for political
control, and that is all the time.
Our American cities can be re-
deemed whenever the honest peo-
pie, who are in a majority, are
willing to fight to get the control.
New York and Philadelphia and
the remaining cities of the country
who have been cursed by the rule
of grafters can end it when they
will. No people need have cor
rupt men as rulers unless the
voters permit it. Like people, like
rulers, is an old saying, and it is
a true one.

contact with flesh and bloodpeople,
may possibly perform wonders
even when they do not exhibit
enthusiasm. though they possess
the enthusiasm if they do not
show it; but men who deal with
other people, and especially with
masses of men, must be enthusl-
astic if they are to inspire, en-
courage and lead them.
Enthusiasm is the most precious
quality in the world. "When a
mans enthusiasm is gone he is
practically dead The basis OF
all right enthusiasm is the heart,
the emotions, in hope and courage,
resolution and endurance, in the
moral energy and vital power
which are itself. John Stuart Mill
said that "strong impulses are
but another name for energy,
which may be turned to bad uses,
but more good may always be
made of an energetic nature than
of an INDECENT and impassive one. -"
Enthusiasm is the energy OF the
emotions, of the soul and Of the
moral nature.
When a mans enthusiasm be-
gins to abate he is in as much
need of attention as the patient
who droops from a physical cause
is Of a physician. There are some
men of the world who affect to
feel no enthusiasm. They regard
everything as pretty bad and the
remedy hopeless. They have seen
the world in many respects, and
they cannot see the beauty OF the
universe. Nothing delights them.
The country is evil, the genera
ton wicked, society debased and
the future murky and black.
It is perfectly fatal to a young
man to be brought under such in
fluences. Enthusiasm is the natu-
raj condition of youth, of unspoilt
humanity, purity of thought, OF
unjaded and interrupted emotion,
of the morally upright. Tucker
man, the American essayist,
pleads for enthusiasm:
"Let US recognize the beauty
and power of enthusiasm, and,
whatever we may do to enlighten
ourselves and others, guard
against checking and chilling a
single earnest sentiment. For
what is the human mind, however
enriched with acquisitions or
strengthened by exercise, unac-
companied by an ardent and SEN
sitive heart? It's light may il
lumine, but it cannot inspire. It
may shed a cold and moonlight
radiance upon the path of life, but
it warns no flower into bloom; it
sets free no icebound fountains.
Enthusiasm is the very life of
gifted spirits. Ponder the lives
of the glorious in art or literature
through all ages. What are they
but records of tolls and sacrifices,
supported by the earnest hearts
of their votaries?''
The perfect type of enthusiasm
is the healthy child. Its expert
ence of life is small and is disap-
pointments and disillusions are
yet to come. The perfect type OF
the man is the one who has met
the realities and has refused to be
disillusioned; who has expert
enced the disoppointments and yet
has the courage and the charac-
ter to believe in the great things
of the world, as faith, hope, love
and honor.

The lecture of E. d. Nichols. Tuesday

has 4 wonderful hold upon his audiences.
As he drives home fact after fact, his
earnest, forceful. dramatic manner
thrills the hearer until he can see and
feel ~ the speaker does. One may go
out Of curiosity, or as doubter. bu,
invariably comes away with a keener
realization of the duties that devolve
upon him as citizen worthy of the pro-
lection of the law. The seriousness of
life is indelbly impressed. and higher
ideals instilled. With his earnestness
there is strong vein of humor that
flashes and scintillates. which relieves
the intensely dramatic ciimaxes of his
orstory. He is probably the equal of
any who has ever addressed an Ameri-
can Falls audience.
