bill as something essential 10 the
welfare of the south, and conse-
quently of the entire country.
Speaker Cannon and the minor
ity leader. John Sharp Williams,
reluctantly admitted that they
might be forced to do an uncOn-
stitutional thing-pass the bill.
The emphasis, in other words,
is laid on the formal inability to
do what has to be done, instead
of upon the possible ways of do
ing that thing.
By and by 1t may dawn on the
devotees of tradition that the real
friends of the constitution are
those who believe in making that
primal instrument conform to
national needs and not in SUBJ
ordinating those necessities to the
words of an eighteenth century
document.
About the only occasion when
the constitution is brought to
public notice is when it is urged
as a refuge for criminals or an,
impeachment to constructive laws.
1t is, of course, nobody's fault
if the constitution is really in the
way. 1t would be strange indeed
if an organic law drafted in 1889
should meet every phrase of SUBJ
sequent national development.
But it is an enormous fault to as
sumo that because the cOnstitu-
ton is in the way of any impera-
tive progress that fact settles the
controversy and conditions must
remain static Conditions in a
virile society will, not remain i'm
movable in spite of all the stand
patters and archaic lawgivers in
the country. and in spite of
constitution which these stand
patters would make as infiexible
and moribund as are their own
ideals.

constitution for what its great
promulgators intended tan in

republic could live, not die

Greatness of Jefferson Davis.

jefferson Davis stood the test
OF true greatness; he was the
greatest to those who knew him
best. One of the marked traits
OF Mr.. Davis private life was his
exquisite courtesy. He was one
of the most approachabIe of men,
as polite and affable to the
humblest as to the most exalted.
In his old age in Raleigh, N. G
he excused himself to all callers,
IN order to receive the visit of
his former slave. 1t is charac-
teristic of the man that he closed
his farewell address to the Senate
by apologizing for any pain which
in the heat of discussion he might
have inflicted. His last words on
earth were, "Please excuse me.
Such gentleness usually marks a
man. of courage. On a memora
BILE occasion he uttered the
characteristic maxim, "Never be
naughty to the humble, nor
humble to the naughty" Gen.

POTENT VOICE FROM
THE GREAT BEYOND
Gen. S. D. Lees Urgent Appeal
to Collate and Compile the
History Of the War.

General Stephen ID. Lee, Com
mander-in-Chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, has al.
dressed a letter to Ralsten +
Green of the United Sons of Con
federate Veterans. urging the es'
tablishment by. the General As
sembly of Department oil
History for the preservation OF
the history of the State, and 1t Is
possible that Governor Sanders
will write a special message on
this subject. He has been urged
to do so by some of the Sons of
of Veterans, of which organlza
ton he is a member.
I'm his letter General Stephen
d. Lee said:
There is nothing that the PEG
of the South have so neglected
as the writing of their own his
tory. A renaissance of history
made by a Southerner and myself
since the war has brought out the
fact that while the South has
made most of the history of this
great republic up to the war be-
tween the States, they have al
lowed our friends in New Eng
land and the North TO write it
up for us, and they have mini
mixed everything that was done
in the South previous to, during
and since the Revolutionary War,
while they have given prominence
to everything that was done north
of Mason and Dixson's line.
"Again, 1 do not doubt but
that the same condition exists in
the Capitol of Louisiana that did
exist in the old Capitol of Miss
.issippi-that stored in the atti"
there 7were piles of splendid
papers and records for Mississ-
ippi which were being kicked all
over the attic of her Capitol.
whereas in Alabama, under Tom
Owen, that splendid director, and
in Mississippi, Dunbar Rowland,
that enthusiastic worker, have
brought order out of chaos and
confusion, and they will furnish
records to future historians to
give true record of their States.
l indorse from the bottom of my
heart what you boys did in your
recent convention IN the effort
you are making to establish a de-
partment of archives and history
in Louisiana. and l wish you
every possible success.
Dunbar Rowland, director of
the Department of Archives and
History of the State of Mississ-
ippi, has also addressed Mr..
Green a letter, giving an outline
of the work of his department,
and telling of some of the accom-
plisbments since the department
was established, six years ago.
The measure looking to the
establishment of this department
has already been introduced in
the House by Mr.. Henriques, and
will be championed in the Senate
by John Marks when it comes to
that side of the legislative as
sembly.

blame lies is difficult to say. This
is certain; that the city council
and mayor hold themselves re-
sponsible to the citizens of Pla-

Thirteen buildings were sacriii-
ced in this dreadful conhagration,
and the majority were homes of
poor people, whose earnings OF
thirty to forty years went up in
smoke. This thought alone makes
the fire of Thursday night the
more appalling.

justified in calling the guilty to an
account for this criminal negli-
