quite similar to that California has
been wrestling with.

married white woman, wants to at
tend the public schools Of st. Landry

not care to take up the responsibility
and put it up to Superintendent Har-
ris. The State Superintendent of Ed
ucation, wishing to be guided by the
letter of the law, has referred the
matter to General Guion,
who will have the problem solved.

Evans Would Be Liberal.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Sept. 10
Fighting Bob" Evans, the retired
Rear-Admiral, came out today as an
advocate of higher pensions for Civil
War veterans. He made a charac-
teristic speech at the unwilling of a
monument to the One Hundred and
Fifty-Sixth New York Volunteer
Regiment at Highland, opposite this
city, in the course of which he said:
BE good to those old men who
fought in the great war that our
Union might be saved. Don't give
them any more $12 month bOun-
ties. If you are going to starve the
men who all but gave their lives for
you, it would be better to do 1t at
once and not prolong the process day
by day and year by year, as you
have been doing"

Grant subdued Rebellion

1T was Grant that finally subdued
the rebellion. At one time it was Gus
tomary to criticise Grants campaign
ing and to intimate that his knowledge
of military strategy was not such as to
Justify a comparison of him with Lee
and other generals. Grant had a very
broad conception of the work which
the north had before it in subduing the
south. He had an opportunity in his
life to know the southern people and
discriminate in respect to them so as to
understand that while they talked a
great deal they could also do a great
deal. He believed the only way of sub
DUNG the rebellion was by fighting the
armies of the rebellion, and that after
all the contests between the two parts
of this nation was a contest of re-
sources, of men and of wealth.
"In the end it proved to be. His judg-
ment was vindicated. 1t is said that
Grant was not man of military
genius 1t is difficult to define what
genius is. Some describe it as the ca
pacity for taking infinite pains. If so,
Grant was a genius Halleck was
great authority of military science and
grand strategy and he never planned
campaign unless like lawyer with his
precedents, he could turn to the page
of the military textbook and justify
his plan by reference to a battle of
Caesar. Napoleon or Frederick. Had he
been able to anticipate Grants plan
for the taking of Vicksburg he would
certainly have prevented 1t.
"And yet in comparing the strategic
ability of Grant with that of other
generals, it can truly be said that there
is no campaign in the Civil War that
showed more originality, greater celer-
ity of movement, better calculation of
opposing forces and more effective re-
suits than the one beginning with the
capture of Grand Gulf, continued by
the battles of Jacksonville, Champion
Hills and the Big Black and ending
with the surrender of Vicksburg.
