The people Of the South. to their very
great credit. are raising fund with
which TO build a monument or some
other memorial. to commemorate the
service ard sacrifices OF the women ut
the Southern Contederacy. The move
ment is not only Que of duty but should
be. at least. one of loving pleasure. The
world has not seen more noble devotion
to cause or more willing sacrifice to
sustain it than that displayed during the
war of the sixties by the splendid women
of south. That the cause is believed to
have been mistaken one has no bearing
upon the question at this time. Then
the people of the South thought it to be a
righteous cause and their women faced
the stern necessities of that war with a
courage and fortitude that demonstrated
the sterling qualities of their womanhood
tas nothing else could possibly have done
There was suffering and sorrowing
among the women of the North.i it is true,
but it was not such as was borne by their
southern sisters. 1t must be remembered
that the women of the North were backed
up by government that was not only
willing. but able. to pay the expenses of
the war. to supply its soldiers with food
and clothing and to pension them after
the war was over. The Southern soldiers
fought without money and, much of the
time, without proper food and clothing.
To supply these things the Southern
women made sacrifices of personal COM
forts that were unknown in the North
Many of them pinched and saved, denying
themselves and children not only every
luxury, but many of the real necessities
of life. Thousands of them worked in
the fields, sending the rewards of their
labor to support their husbands and sons
at the front And, then, after the war
was over the women of the South began
the work of binding up the wounds it had
made. They organized charitable socie-
ties to take care of the manned and Grip
pied and to take the place of the federal
pension department. No one can know
the story of the Southern Woman's part
in the war of the sixties without admir-
ing. even loving. the Southern woman,
and the men of the South honor them
selves in building memorial in her
name.-St Joseph (Mo) Gazette.
We appreciate this glowing tribute

effort made by the Veterans to erect a
