WASHINGTON, D c., May 20
The backbone is broken. Thus the
chorus runs in whispers around the
Capitol this week. It first was whis-
pered in the cloakrooms. Some leader
lisped it. Possibly Senator w. Muir

regulars, let about three words falL
He keeps his eye on the lines and is
apt to see first what others see later
on.
But a determined opposition in the
Senate does not always collapse as
soon as the word is passed. The
signs of wavering come first, some
times days in advance. That, it is
claimed, is what has now happened.
Senator Cummins, the leader of the
insurgents, has been philosophizing
about the futility of keeping it up"
Ire and his low tariff friends. from
the West want an opportunity to
talk about the lumber duties for a lit
tie Senator Deliver, of Iowa, wants
TO make his promised tilt against the
wooden schedules; and, as all these
Western insurgents come from agri-
cultural states, several of them want
a chance to talk about the schedules
affecting agricultural products.
Then! Well then they are saying
quietly that they reckon there will not
be much debate and that vote on
the tariff bill will be forthcoming.
President Taft wants a vote The
country wants a vote. Senator
Cranes closely organized majority Of
at least eight senators stands on
every kind of test the insurgents
and Democrats can put up. What
use to fight longer any way? 1t IS
simply standing up TO be shot down
and does not effect the tariff rates a
little bit. The standpatters have
the call. They have votes enough to
put through the kind of tariff bill
they want. The country wants a bill
and seems more anxious now to have
a bill, whether it be revision upward
or downward, than to have Congress
putter away for weeks while business
halts.
So the prophets are returning to
their old original dates about the
completion of the bill. These are
June Is for the passage of the meas
ure in the Senate and July l, or pos
sfbly July 4, for the signing of the
bill by the President and the adjourn
ment of the extra session. Long be-
fore that time the insurgents can
easily demonstrate to the country that
they have fought as hard as it was
any good fighting to get the rates low
cred.
Recently the Democrats have rather
been working for an early adjourn
ment- They see that the standpat-
tiers are inv1ncible and that Demo-

sumed task at which any human
being might hesitate. The South
had no resources, no factories, no
arseuals il had a vulnerable sea-
coast six times longer than that Of
the other States it had no standing
army upon which even to base the
conflict. Mr.. Davis became the
head Of the COME derate States, and
no responsibility SO stupendous was
ever laid upon human heart, no
burden so great ever placed upon
human shoulders. He was moved
only by sense Of duty. Mistakes
he was bound to make. He was TO
choose generals, agents and aides in
all lines. He had the chivalry and
devotion of a brave and patriotic
people upon which to rely, but in
his heart was pulsing a natlon
life beat. and its throbs and agonies
both sorrowed and strengthened his
undaunted soul. Calm, a stranger
to fear. responsive to every call OF
duty, he occupied position never
before assumed by one man since
the sunrise of history.
AT home he was sometimes oppos-

from whom he had right to expect

quail before the terrible solemnity
of the issues involved. He never
hesitated in the discharge Of all that
the hour demanded, and he refused
his countrymen nothing that his
genius and his courage could give.
There we're times when Mr.. Davis
might have had peace. There are
those who tell US that when near the
end Mr.. Lincoln said, "Write union
at the top, and fill in the balance as
you please" out it must not be for
gotten that Mr.. Davis was at the
head Of the Confederacy; that he
had been placed there by his people
who had staked their lives, their
liberty and their all on success, and
that no peace was possible or proper
which did not come through the
practical humiliation of armies of
the South. The men and women
of the South, who had made such
tremendous sacrifices in their efforts
to maintain a nations life, would
never have understood or appre-
ciated the conditions which en-
forced submit ssion. The President
of the Confederacy, day by day,
saw and felt the diminishing power

knew that it was dying slowly, sure

stances he was powerless to change.
he beheld his people bravely strug-
Cling on in the throes of anguish
and death, while he stood with his
great and loving heart unable to al
lay a single pang or change the
course OF destiny.
When the Confederacy had passed
the period where success was no
longer, when the struggle was vast

Jefferson Davis, misjudeed in life
disfranchised in death. is finding his
true place in history, and as sons
and daughters Of the South We are
here today TO declare this spot sa-
cred, to remain sacred to Southern
hearts, 10 declare our veneration for
the memory OF Jefferson Davis, and
declare our love for his superb sacri-
fees at the call OF duty and his devo-
tion TO truth. and TO bedeck with
fresh laurels and TO gloriiy with
renewed praise him who bore the
crown Of sorrow and persecution and
humiliation because Of his steadfast-
ness, his loyalty and his devotion to
the people Of the South in their
titanic struggle.
1t fell to the LOT of Jefferson Davis
to be the leader Of his people in the
combat which cost untold sacrifice of
life and the expenditure OF almost
countless millions Of treasure.
AS the voice OF reason speaks to
the public heart, there are many sad
things in the career Of Jefferson
Davis that the nation regrets. The
cruelties inflicted upon him at For
tress Mornoe, the indignities press
ed upon him when his emaciated
hands we're manacled by force, hard
ships visited upon him in his long
conhnement-all WELT h in k in &

war ever waged between English

and women of the South, and sub
mitted himself to his surroundings
with dignity and splendor of man
ner that at least touched with tender
ness and undying love the hearts OF
his countrymen. No breath of criti-
cism dare assail the conduct of Mr..
Davis during this awful ordeal OF
Imprisonment. Threatened with
prosecution for treason, denied his
liberty, with limited opportunit les to
prepare for his defense, light was
none the less slowly reaching into
the cell where sat the beloved Presi-
dent Of the Confederacy. Good and
true men throughout the nation
realized that the Incarceration of
Mr.. Davis, with all its attendant
circumstances, was political crime,
and that il was a discredit to the
people of the greatest nation upon
which the sun ever shown. 1t took
two years for public sentiment to
right itself, for the law of love to
overcome the law of hate and pas
sion. AT last the men who had OPP
posed him became his bondsmen,
and after two years of confinement
he again saw the light of the sun
and breathed air that did not come
through prison bars. In these dread
full hours of confinement he became
thousand times dearer to his peo-
pie, and their love and gratitude
went out to him in boundless meas
ure AMI with resistless force.
Twenty years have passed since
he died and the limelight of history
has only frightened every spot in
his pure, unsullied life. He stood
in suffering humiliation and imprison-
ment for the South its headits chief,
its representative. He bore in his
body and soul the deepest anguish
for his people. Now that he is gone
and men may review the past and
weigh and judge his life, his con-
duct and his motive. slowly, but
surely and irresistibly. Jefferson
Davis is coming to his own. As he
stood for the South, the South will
stand for him and all his life and
suffering implied, and the South will
see that he shall be understood and
appreciated and no shadow shall
darken his fame. and that no mis-
presentation shall scar the splendor
of his character and the glory of his
transcendent heroism in the dark
days of his humiliation.
We are here this day upon holy
mission, one of peace and good will,
and with the eyes of our nation turn
ed to Fairview, and all men rejoicing
that the South is doing honor to JEFF
ferson Davis. No American history
will be just that does not recognize
in him great and good man. Some
say that he was misguided leader
and that he judged wrongly in the
conflict. Let it be answered as an
eternal truth that he settled every
issue and obligation of duty accord
ing to the lights before him. that he
brought to the solution of every con-
fronting problem a pure heart and
an honest desire to know the truth
and to do the right, and a courag-
eous willingness to follow wherever
honor and fidelity pointed the way.
Never did he falter, never did he
hesitate when manhood and patriot
ism called TO action. He knew
