us the worlds greatest military leaders
and strategesls in the persons of Robl.
E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The
glory of having produced two such
characters is sufficient for sll time, and
worthy of the most exalted nation OF the
earth.
We must not forget that Jefferson
Davis discovered among the people Of
the south heroism, devotion, self sscri-
fcing spirit, when truth aud principle
we're involved, unparalleled IN the entire
history of the world, and this discovery
is the priceless heritage and shall be the
greatest inspiration to orr children, to
make the most of themselves till time
shall be no more. We must not forget
the indignities he suffered. We can
never appreciate bis cruel imprisonment
at Fortress Monroe, his continued depri-
vations Of citiz snship 10 country which
l his brains helped to make, the chiseling
his name from Cabin Johns bridge, the
failure of the little man in charge of the
q War Department to take cognizance OF
! his death, the constant employment Of
bitter and reproachiul epithets in me-
mortal addresses over the federal dead in
connection with his name. But we be-
lieve that the years will bring to his
memory Just and full restitution for all
that he suffered aud lost. The confed.
eracy is the dead child of our hearts, the
ideal Of our dreams, the unreslized ful.
6lIment Of peoples hopes. At Apo
mattOx the issues for the south were
settled and we are loyal to the uoioD,
but we must not forget our heroes and
their heroism. The flag of the confed-
eracy has been fuTled forever, but who
shall blame I'd for loving its memorable
record and movements.

THE ruling of Secretary of Ag'icnl-

is a violation of the pure food lsw has
COW been sustained by Justice Stafford,
OF the Supreme Court of the District OF

manufacturers of bleaching apparatus,
who tried to have the court compel the
secretary to revoke his decision that the
use of nitrogen peroxide in bleaching
-four is deleterious. The ruling of Sec
rotary Wilson and the decision of Judge
Stafford are both right and proper
and should be maintained, and those who
will persist in killing people by the use
of poisonous foods should be treated as

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 4. 1909.

A FORMER U. S. senator and formf
high customs official may be seriously in-
yolyed in the sugar trust frauds during
the trial of six dock employees of the
trust, set yesterday to begin June IL
before the U. S. Circuit Court OF New
York. The TIVE special attorneys ap-
pointed to handle the case have ron
across the trail of the two prominent men
in the course of their investigation. The
evidence against them is not at present
conclusive, but the coming trial msy
supply the missing links. Evidence ID
the possession Of the governments sstor'
news shows that from time to time, since
1896. the fraudulent weighing done by
the sugar trust, by which it swindled
the government out Of more than $ll,'
600 600 in duties, was discovered by
honeut customs employees and reported 10
government officials above them. They
were rewarded for their honesty by either
beipg dismissed or transferred to places
where they would not come in contact
with the sugar trusts affairs. II the
government should be able to cTimlnaIiJ
proceed against the two men involved
one of the biggest scandals in the history
of the country would probably follow
It would have widespread political con-
sequences as an important branch OF the

AT Stamford, Conn, recently, Dr..
William j. Long, the writer on nature
subjects, who WAS asssiled by President
Roosevelt as one Of the nature fskirs,
gave ont a long interview dealing With
the present African hunting trip OF the
former president. He said thst the
worst feature of the "whole bloody busi-
ness" WAS the brutsliziDg effect which
the reports from Africa must have on
the minds of thousands Of American
boys. If the published reports of his
exploits we're true, continued Dr.. Long,
they proved what he had said two years
ago that Mr.. Roosevelt lis a game
butcher pure and simple, and that his
interest in animals lies chiefly in the
direction of blood, butchery and
brutality"

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, June 4,
SENATE.

Senator LaFollette today answered
some of the attacks made upon him in
the Senate yesterday when it WAS charged
by Senator Penrose that he is filibuster-
ing, against the tariff bill. Replying to
this Mr.. LaF0llette said As for the
remarks of the Pennsylvania senator
about me, | will tell him that hewill rem
der.more valuable service il he will tell
Pennsylvania and the country how he
spends his time instead of commenting
upon my absence. The people of Wis
consin will take care of me If they think
Pm an unfaithful servant No man
will undertake to say where the senator
from Pennsylvania spends his time
without transgressing the rules Of this
Senate and that | will not do"
Mr.. LsFollette later resumed his dis
cussion of the cotton schedules, pointing
out rates which he said showed increases
over the existing law.
Referring to Senator Lodges state
meut OF the other day to the effect that
there were only 80 increases 10 the bill
and over 300 decreases, Mr.. La Toilette
said that the tables to which he had
been referring, prepared 10 the bureau
of statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. showed that there
we're no less than 28S increases. In the
cotton schedule alone there we're 20 in
creases and 81 decreases and the in
creases, he said, were OF vastly greater
consequence to the consumers than the
decreases. More than that, he said,
there were hidden increases In the bill.
Mr.. LaFollette said that II the COM
mittee had had any regard for the con-
sumner 1t would have decreased instead OF
increasing existing rates on cotton
cloth.

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
A GrandchiId of Giant Steam.


In The Circle magazine for May, Jas.
H. Collins says this is the gas engine,
By the use of which we are already
turning waste gases from coke ovens and
blast furnaces into energy, and utilizing
low grade coal, eulm, coal dust-almost
anything that will burn. Large areas Of
many European countries are given up
to peat boys, which have heretofore been
as good as wastes, furnishing only q
little poor fuel and occasionally being
reclaimed and cultivated with great La
bor But the modern gas engine prom
ises to establish prosperous factories
around such desolate tract as the
famous bog Of Allen, in Ireland.
Some months ago large peat gas
power plant was opened near extensive
boys in northwestern Germany. These
uncultivated wastes are now to furnish
power and fertilizer, at the same time
being reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses. Peat is formed BY the aeeumula-
tion Of messy plants in swamps, pre-
served BY the tannin and gallo acid Of
their own formation The bogs, when
drained and properly worked, make
profitable farm lands. The plan in Ger
many is to cut drainage canals through
the morass, dredging the material out by
electrical power furnished by the peat
itself. The latter is taken on conyeyors
to power station, subjected to press
IRE that removes much of the water,
and then worked up into blocks for
fuel. This fuel IS burned-or distilled,
rather just as coal in a gas works The
resulting gas is used to run large gas
engines, and their power, in turn. trans
formed into electric current at the rate
of about six hundred horse power hours
per ton Of fuel This electricity Is EN-
ployed not only to run The plant, but is
conveyed over the district for thirty
miles around and used by several towns
for power and lighting. The residue Of
the distilled peat yields nitrogen for fer
tilizer in the form Of ammonium sui.

In the past a peat bog has stood az
the symbol of everything useless, desc

voirs Of wealth Tomorrow they mas

national conference of charities and cor.
rection yesterday that the view held
in some quarters that a hamlet system
would give better kind of community
life in the agricultural districts was
erroneous.
The hamlet system Of the old country
is the result OF a social condition that
never obtained in this country Profess
sor Bailey deplored the custom Of Amer
lean farmers Of moving to towns as soon
as they derive a competency from their
farms.
They do not become progressive citi-
zens in the town and become men With
out a country, he said. A tenant class
is left ON the farm and a social stratifi-
cation is the natural result. with a low
social and moral development in the
open country.

civilization as win satisfy farming pea.
