Denver.-Mrs. Ella Palmer, who or
ganized the hospital corps Of the Con-
federate Army Of Tennessee and re-
manned at its head until the close Of
the Civil War, died in a sanitarium at
Boulder Monday, aged so years. Death
was due to paralysis.
During the war Mrs. Palmer Travelled
with the Confederate divisions Of Gems,
johnson, Hood, Beaureguard and Wilson,
and she was present at many Of the
noted battles in which those leaders par
ticipated.
Mrs. Palmer was born in North Caro-
lima, but spent her girIhood in Hiawatha,
Ca Her husband fought in the Mexican
War. He died before the Civil War broke
out, and Mrs. Palmer was left with one
child. She was living at Chattanooga,
Tenn, when the sick and wounded Com
fedefate soldiers were being brought in
from the front, and their woeful lack Of
proper attention appealed to her and led
her to begin organizing a systematic hos
pital corps.
Her official title was that Of matron,
and her status in the army was the same
as an enlisted soldier.

Washington. II Senator Shelby NJ
Gallon, Of Illinois, chairman Of The for
eign relations committee, has tive Politf
ca Ideas
One Of these Is that if the negro did
not vote in the South al the Southern
States would join the Republican party.
The other is that the negroes ought
to be permitted to vote everyvhera else,
Including the State Of Illinois.
Mr.. Cullom, talking on these subjects,
said in part.
President Taft is showing wisdom in
his Southern tour Mr.. Taft is ming
ling with the Southern people in order
that he may get better acquainted with
them and they with him.
"Of course, the president doesn't in.
tend to surrender any principle, but ct
the same time he is willing to make con-
cessions to the Southern people commen-
surate with any fair sense Of justice.
"And likewise does he intend to eradi-
cate the Mason and Dixon line. In my
opinion, he is just the man for that task
and if he doesn't accomplish it, to GER
tain degree at least, shall be sadly mis-
taken.
THAT line must be wiped out at some
era or another, that much is a certainty,
and ] can't see any logical reasons why
the proper action shouldn't come right
now. There are several States in the
South simply ripe for falling into the
Republican column.
Eliminate the negro from politics in
the South-give that section Of the
country an exclusively white ballot, OF
q franchisement, which shall mean an
absolute and unequivocal white suprem
acy in the management Of its whole af
fairs, and there's not a State below the
Mason and Dixon line which win not Be
found in the Republican column Of the
electoral college.
"The whole South believes in and
really needs the enforcement Of the Re
publican doctrine Of a protective tariff
Therefore, the people Of that section
would like to vote in behalf of candidates
congressional, national and STATE
who would support such policy"

He lunched with Gov. and Mrs. Noel
and met a number Of the States distin.
guished citizens. He spent an hour 60.
ing through the various exhibits at the
fair and was particularly interested in
the agricultural displays. These displays
so impressed the president that he de
voted most Of his address to the import,

the tendency Of young men to drift to

In the late afternoon the president
