When We Honor the
Heroes of Two Wars

years it has been invested with a
new and solemn significance. 1t will
be a reminder that since the close of
the rebellion the country has again
been shaken with the throes of war
"a conflict in which some of it's best
blood was sprinkled upon the altar OF
patriotism. AS the veterans of 81 as
semblc TO pay homage to their dead
comrades, and the mufiied drum and
wailing fife sound a requiem over the
heroes who met death on southern
battlefields and in southern prisons,
there will be mourning also for the
patriots of '9S-the young men who,
with courage and valor equal to that
of their sires, fell by Spanish shot and
shell that an oppressed people might
be free. When the chaplets are
twined and the garlands are woven for
those who have listened to the last
tattoo they will also be laid upon an
other generation of American soldiers.
AS the rites of the day are being
observed in city, town and hamlet, the
solemnity of the occasion will be
frightened by the knowledge that the
country is thoroughly reunited. No
sectional feeling nor bitter memories
will now or evermore arise to mar the
harmony of the occasion. The enmity
that was felt by great portion of the
south against its conquerors has been
entirely dissipated. And yet it was
not the conquering guns of the north
ern hosts that swept away sectional
ism and removed the animosities en-
gendered by that fractricidal strife,
but rather the cannon that Numbered
from the fleets Of Spain and the vol
legs that ratified from Spanish Mau-
sers that welded together in one har-
monious nation the north and south

although chosen by the survivors of
the war for the union as season in
which to honor the memory of our
country's defenders, comes to us from
the southland. 1t was the women OF
the south who instituted the custom
of placing flowers upon the graves OF
not only their own defenders-none
the less heroes because they died for
a mistaken idea and a lost cause-but
also upon the mounds that marked the
resting places of union soldiers.
Realizing the beauty and significance
of this conception, the northern peo-
pie did not long delay in following
the example set by the south. In the
month of May, 1868, Gen. John A. Lo-
gan, then commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic, issued an order
for the observance by that organiza-
ton of May so as Memorial day-a
day to be set apart to the memory of
the soldiers and sailors who fell in the
war of the rebellion. This particular
day was chosen because it was the
date of the discharge of the last sol
der of the civil war. 1t Is now legal
holiday in all the states except ten.
Until ten years ago it was difficult
for those born since the civil war to
realize the full significance that at
taches to the day that we observe so
generally. II is true they can gather
from history all the events OF that
great struggle in which brother fought
against brother and son against IA
Their, but they can form no adequate
conception of the CONSERVATION that
pervaded the north when the capital
itself was threatened. They cannot
grasp the import of the victory OF An
tietam; of the second Bull Run: of the
battle of Fair Oaks; of the Wilder
ness; of the fiercely contested battle
and the decisive one of the war-of
Gettysburg, in which 100000 men were
engaged; and scores of other battles
in which the blood of heroes stained
the soil of the south in that titanic
struggle between the states when
more than once the fate OF the nation
trembled in the balance.
Although so many years have passed
since the war of the rebellion the
American people are not obliviouS OF
the debt which they owe to the men
who fought. suffered and died that
the nation might live. The recurrence
OF Memorial day, with its beautiful
and pathetic ceremonies, conjures up
visions of those dark days of the past
when our soldiers in the south were
receiving their baptism of blood and
fire and their friends at home were
waiting in dread expectancy for news
from the front" And when il Is re-
called that there were four long years
OF this warfare those who have ap-
peared upon the stage of life since
then may be able to form an idea of
the magnitude of what is conceded to
be the greatest war in history.
While Memorial day has been scru.
pulously observed in the north for the
last 40 years, within the last ten

HIS NAME COMES OUT
Tom Taggart the Mysterious Man in
the GiDgles Case.

Chicago, July 6.-The name of Tom
Taggart of French Lick Springs, Ind,
former chairman of the Democratic
national committee. was brought into
the record of the Ella Gingles trial
in Judge Brentano's court here today.
The young Irish lace maker. on cross
examination, had told of the alleged
search of her room by Miss Agnes
Barrette, her accuser- and the late
Mrs Kenyon, looking for lace which
Miss Barrette claimed Miss Gingles
had stolen. This brought the story
around to Miss Gingles' visit to Miss
Barrette's room at the Wellington no.
tel on a subsequent occasion when,
according to Miss GingIes. she was
forcibly disrobed by Miss Barrette and
Mrs. Kenyon.
"Did you fight against them?" ask
ed States Attorney Short.
Eyes, until I was worn out with
crying and my exertions.
WAS any man mentioned?"
Yes
who was it?"
"I don't remember"
TRY
Are you sure that was the name?'
"Yes"
You know he was proprietor of
French Lick Springs ?"
Are you sure you heard that name
there? %
yes"
isn't it fact that you were told
that name to make sensation IN
your story?'
No"
who mentioned the name?,'
Miss Barrette. She said IF Tag
CART were only here"
Last Friday Miss Gingles testified
that she had been told she could have
plenty of money, good clothes and
no work if she would go to French
Lick Springs.
sfWhat did you think when Miss
Barrette told you the advantages OF
this visit?" Mr. Short asked today.
'I thought she meant I was tc

It is the theory of the state thai
the Young Irish lace maker is vic

that the remarkable stories she has
told are the truth.

SENATE'S BUSY DAY.
Income Tax Amendment Adopted by
Unanimous Vote.

washington, July 6.-The fourth OF
July was the senate's busy day. From
10 o'clock In the morning till 5:SO O'CLOCK
in the afternoon the senators Jaooreo.
Not since the tariff bill has come
into the senate has so much been ac-
complished within a day. Indeed, When
the sitting came to an end a summary
of the proceedings showed that there
was very little left to be done me
principal items still to be considered
was the tobacco tax. the figures on
which had not been completed the
committee when the senate adJourned.
Early in the day the income tax reso-
luton of Senator Brown of Neoraska
was adopted. The resolution SUBMITS
to the legislatures of the states an
amendment to the constitution provlo-
ing that the congress shall have power
to lay and collect taxes on incomes,
from whatever source derived without
apportionment among the several states
and without regard to any census o.
enumeration"
There was three hours of debate over
the measure, the principal contest being
over an amendment by Senator Balley
submitting the amendment to conVen-
tions in the states instead of the Varl-
Gus state legislatures The amendment
was defeated. the division being largely
along party lines. The Brown amend
ment was adopted.

DRUGS AND FORCE.
Used to Make Woman Marry Her
Chauffeur, She Says.

Atlanta, Ga. July 6.-Despfte the
attempts of the parties concerned to
keep it a secret it was learned today
that Mrs. SiIvy Speer Thomas was
granted a decree of divorce in the
superior court here today. It was
last September that Miss Speer,
daughter of w. A. Speer and promi-
nent in local society circles, eloped
with her chauffeur, r J. Thomas. Her
parents followed the couple, had them
detained and carried off the bride.
She was spirited to New York, and
thence to Europe, to escape the
search of her husband. The latter
has brought suit against his father
in-law for alternating his Wife's affec-
tions.
A statement, signed by Mrs.
Thomas was read to the court and
jury. She said in this statement that
young Thomas made love to her but
she resented it. Next he told her that
unless she married him he would kill
her father. She said that on the day
OF their elopement, September %,
Thomas father telephoned her that
unless she came to Marietta als5 mar
ried his son, her father would be kill
ed. She went to the place agreed on
and was very nervous. The elder
Thomas, she claims, gave her a tablet
and after swallowing it she did not
remember what happened except in
a dazed way. She believes now that
she was drugged and that while in
that state she went through a mar
riage ceremony.

SPURNS ROGERS GOLD.
Blacksmith Brother of Late Million
aire Won't Accept His Money.

watonga, Okla, July ST do not
want a penny of my brothers money,
declared Edward Rogers, blacksmith
and brother of the late Henry h.
Rogers of Standard. Oil millions. A
number of letters have been sent to
Rogers by his brothers attorneys
which Rogers has refused to take out
of the postoffice. Rogers, who has
been running a blacksmith shop at
Watonga for a number OF years, mas
felt very bitter toward Henry H
Rogers.
The estrangement dates ten years
back, and occurred while Henry was
on a visit to his brothers home. Ed
Rogers was not at home at the time
The blacksmith's son asked Henry
Rogers for loan for his father, which
was refused. This angered Ed Rogers,
and he swore that his brother should
never set foot in his home again
Rogers says he has been offered
government job at Fort Sill at $50 a
month, with SIS month for rations,
and will probably take it.
