CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY,
It is now recalled that at the annual
convention Of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, held in Houston, Texas, in
September of last year, it was deter
mined to observe Confederate Decora-
ton Day on April instead of Confed-
crate Memorial Day on June 8.
At that time little consideration was
given to this proposed change, which is
now confusing and must lead to I'M
pleasantness and dissatisfaction.
April is the anniversary of the first
days battle d Shiloh, which was vic
tory for the Confederacy, but which was
subsequently neutralized on the second
day BIZ the overwhelming number of the
ederaIs wfilirn TIE 6ohFederates retired
to Corinth.
Iiine IS the anniversary Of the birth
Of Jefferson Davis, the Martyr of the
South. the one man who in his person
Atty typifed the South and the sacred
principles OF the Confederacy, and
against whom all the lnalevolence of
spite and hatred were hurled BY a
fanatical North thirsting for his blood
and yet net daring to execute their dia-
bolicai design.
Il was 1t an annual reunion of the
Confederate Veterans held several years
since that June 5 was suggested as be-
ing the most appropriate for the OBJ
servance Of the day sacred to the mem
DRY Of the Heroes Of the South, while
At the same time paying the tribute of
love to the Chieftain Of the Confed-
esaey.
Al that time. as now, the States of the
South had their decoration days al dates
corresponding with some event in which
tey were concerned, for instance Louis
lana ID the Battle of Shiloh, and it was
then proposed to make June ! the day
when L would be observed throughout
The South, as IS Federal Memorial Day,
at tie end Of May Of each year. but for
sonle reason not explained, probably
difidence, few States have adopted the
date. Iure 81 which III Louisiana. by an
elnseni of the Legislature. is q holi-

NE Daughters 1t their ss D held in

And sucli friction Is notahe among

Since then three hundred years have
fled,
And / infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good belI-wethers always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was
made.
And many men wound in and out
And lodged and turned and went about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because it was such crooked path;
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf,
And through this winding wood way
stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane.
That bent and turned and turned again !;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And Travelled some three miles in one.
And thus century and half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in-swiftness fleet,
The road became a village street;
And this. before men were aware,
A citys crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned METROPOLIS:
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed this zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years each day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent
moral lesson this might teach
Were | ordained and called to preach
For men are prone to go it bid
Along the calf paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
70 dc what other men have done.
Fhey follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
They keep the path a secret groove
Along which all their lives they move
But how the wise old wood-gods laugh,
Mo saw that first primeval calf.
III, many things this tale might teach
But am not ordained to preach.

a FIGHT AGAINST THE SALOON.

There IS being held today in Mar
shall, Texas, an election involving the
life of the saloon. The prelininaries to
this contest have been lively, one side
being aligned for law and order and
good morals, the other in opposition is
contesting for its very existence.
It is not possible to foreteli the result,
since there is in this contest an element
Of negro voters aggregating nearly 300.
Such an issue should be settled by white
seople who should dominate by the rule
Of tEs Nexclusive of the negro.
How Caucasian will express
the he pros will defeat the
salos A "a
tt 4 observer such con-
test is reckoneo by the result. If it be
for the saloon, there is then raised the
CRY Of derision against the pros, and
especially those who are berated as
preachers and fanatics, but the pros are
growing stronger and more determined
in Riding their communities Of the evil
which is tolerated under the guise of
law The saloon is doomed and can not
much longer resist the overwhelming
tide Of temperance and prohibition
which IS sweeping the country.
