DANvILLE VOTES WET.

Dauville, after two years of dry regime
again vot'd wet in an election held yes
terday, by a majority OF 10, out OF total
of 1854 votes in the four wards partici-
paUng IN the election, the fifth and sixth
wards, constituting The section known as
North Dsnville, having no voice in the
contest. That section was dry when an.
nexed, on condition that liquor should
not be there.
Never in the history Of Dauville have
the people been SO stirred as in yester.
days contest, and the vote cast lacked
only about rs Of being the total registra-
ton.
Dauviile. during the past seven years,
The last election was held April IS, 1908,
when the drys won by majority OF as.
In 1925 the city went wet aud in 1923 dry.
The victory of the wet forces yes'er'
day has a wide significance. Itmeans
that the dry States OF North Carolini,
South Carolina and Georgia will have
better facilities of procuring liquor.
The city promiies to develop into a
mail order liquor town and whisky men,
anticipating today's victory, have Sc
cured opinions on practically every place
in the city suitable for their business.
Both sides realized that it was fight to
| the finish.
Women were not in evidence ct the
polls yesterday, and there was no parade.
The election, while most sggrev ssie,
was devoid of excitement, and there
| was no disorder.

Atlantic City cannot be too highly
thanked for the splendid entertainment
which she gave the 44th National En-
campment. 1t was eminently satisfac-
tory in every respect The weather was
perfect. the accomm odations were am
pie, the prices reasonable and everyone
in the attendance was treated as a guest
should be. All of the arrangements
were in the same character. without a
flaw anywhere from the moment that
the first guest was received until the
last was spseded away. Where every
one of the local committee did his or
her part so we'll it would be perhaps
invidious to discriminate, but undoubt-
edly the most of the work was done
and most of the credit due to George
5. Lenhart, the Secretary of the local
committee, and F. NJ. Sterrett, the EN-
ccutivc Director. The decorations were
unusually fine. for which we must thank
Hon. T. P. Stoy. the Chairman of the
committee. and the hotels were under
the charge of Albert T. Bell, Chair
man. Atlantic City will always be re-
membered with pleasure by everyone
who attended the National Encamp-
ment

COMMANDER-N- GILMAN.

Comrade John f. Gilman, of Massa
chusetts. who was elected Commander
in-Chief at the 44th National Encamp-
ment. has an enviable record as a SOL
der and citizen He belonged to the
noted 18th Mass, a regiment which
vies with the 1st MINI. as having lost
the largest percentage Of the men 1t
carried into any single action. Com
rade Gilman fought bravely with his
regiment thru all its battles until at
Gettysburg he lost his right arm by a
wound from "a shell. He joined the
Grand Army in 1868, and has since been
jealous and active in its service. Dur
Ing the dark days of the Order he was
tne of the mainstays, and has held
aearly every office within the gift of
Bis comrades as reward for his fidelity
Snd ability. He was elected Command
Or of the Department of Massachusetts,
o. 1899, and gave that great Depart
H1ent an efficient and satisfactory
administration Commander-in-Ch Chief
BIackmar selected him for his Adju-
sant- General. He travelled with that
made friends wherever he went. Com
mander-in- Chief King continued him
after the lamented death of Comrade
Blackmar. and he added to his popular
ity in that position. For years he has
been the head of the Soldiers Relief
Commission, of Boston. and as such has
disbursed about s250,OO0 annually for
l.
their widows and orphans Personally
the new Chief is a ge
NAL and lovable man, whom any COM

PENSIONS IN THE NATIONAL EN-.
CAMPMENT.

The main contest in the National En-
campment was between those who
wished to stand pat on pension .legisla-
ton and to ask for nothing further and
those who believed that the advancing
age of the veterans and increasing dis
abilities should be met by an advance
in pension rates. The report of the G..
A r. Committee on Pensions, which is
published elsewhere. shows clearly the
disposition of the committee. The Com
mittee on Resolutions, to whom was
referred the report of the Committee
on Pensions. took different view OF
the matter, and after a prolonged scs-
sion reported in favor of The National
Tribune pension bill with notifications,
and this was adopted as the action of
the Encampment, which decided by a
strong vote in accordance with the con-
tention of The National Tribune that
age is specific disability. and there
| fore increases with the advance in
years. The Committee on Pensions was
directed to report a bill giving rating
of $12 month at 81, SIS at 65. $40 at
| 20 and s25 at 75. This falls short in
several respects of what we feel sure
that pension bill should be. There
ought to be an advance to $50 a month
at 20 and $40 at 10, as contemplated
by The National Tribune bill. Yet the
National Encampment is the court of
| last resort. and 1t speaks with an au-
thority 70 which we must all bow. We
therefore withdraw The National Trib-
une pension bill, and urge all comrades
to give solid and unanimous support to
the bin which the National Pension
Committee will prepare in obedience to
| the directions OF the National Encamp-
ment. by so doing we can have great
hopes Of securing the passage~o such
bill al the coming session of Congress.
AS at our age haste is all-important
we advise the firmest and most univer-
| sal support of this bill, and recommend
| that the Posts and Departments indorse
| Il at their first meetings. and send their
| Endorsements to whoever shall be ap-
pointed Chairman of the Committee on
! Pensions to give weight to the commit
tees efforts in Congress to secure the
passage of the bill

JUSTICE, HARLAN.

Nothing would give greater satisfac-
ton to the people of the entire country,
and particularly to that generation
which fought the war thru, than to
have the President decide to advance
Associate Justice John NJ. Harlan to
the head OF the Supreme Bench. Col.
John NJ. Harlan has peculiar claims
upon the consideration of the people.
A"man of commanding presence, of
high integrity and infiexible courage,
he was a tower of strength to the Union
cause at the time when Kentucky was
wayering in the balance 1t was due to
such leaders as he that Kentucky was
not swept into the vortex of secession
by its Governor, Senators and State Off
cials. Col. Harlan not only withstood
all the social and political influences
him, but ne went into the field to make
good his words with his sword. He
raised a splendid regiment, and COM
manded it with skill and gallantry, so
that he was named as Brigadier- Cen
eral. 1t was felt. however, that he
could be more useful az home controi-
ling the disturbed politics of the State
and he reluctantly resigned to become
the Attorney-Gencral of the State and
help effectively to control the disloyal
element.
He has been on the Supreme Bench
since 1877, or 80 years of continuous
service, during 1s OF which he has been
the senior Justice. In every one OF
these years he has grown rapidly in the
estimation of lawyers, until he to-day
occupies a position of high influence
upon the shaping of the laws, second
only to that of Chief Justice John Mar
shall, the greatest of all our Supreme
Court lawyers. He is far batter known
thruout the country than any other
member of the supreme Court. his opin-
ions are studied and followed more
closely. and aside from the sentimental
and patriotic affection that people have
for him. his standing as the foremos,
lawyer in the United States would make
his appointment an eminenuy fitting
one.

at the marvellous attractions on every

great parade started, and it was esti-

march, tho long, was easy, over level
and well-paved streets, and was made
with less than the usual fatigue and
discomfort of these functions. The sun
was warm, but was tempered by an in

halts after the line started, and the

Why, perhaps, "Mingay" asks this
question: Did Kentucky furnish any
regiments for the civil war;" Northern
troops were misled to some extent
when they crossed the Ohio River. 1t

Kentucky furnished noble soldiers, no

At the close of the civil war in 1865
there was no stigma on the Confeder-

soldiers. The latter went quietly about
their business. The war was over. The
