"rIIE HERO or THE SOUTH.


Lines on the unwilling Of Jefferson
Davis Monument a New Orleans, 1911.
At last the resurrcc,ed South proclaims
Tho glory of tho Cival War long
past
Within which struggle shono her saint
ed names.
In rame's undyins wave OF blood
high cast.
But 'mons the many who so bravely
fought
Looms up In tow'ring strength and
noble form
The man who to his people peace hath
And from the roaring war did quoll
the storm.
The head Of that Confederacy grand.
Whose cause tho lost can never pale
or die.
As long as beats a southern heart or
hand,
Or brcathes God OF Justice in the
sky.
All bitterness has hed--the past Is
And We but wreathe the spotless i'm
mortelle
To lay It gently on sweet mcmorys
head
Where spirits OF our soldiers brave
vet dwell.
Then raise shaft to Davis loved Sc
we'll.
Whose blan,eless life did brighton
every deed.
Which VIC may we'll TO our children
tell,
That they some lesson from his
name might heed
Let cv'ry true Confederate rejoice.
That wc have carved this monument
so fair;
Let ev'ry Southern boy and girl find
voice,
TO sing the praise of Davis on rne
AIR.
All! We will keep this monument with
pride,
The statue of the Hero OF the South.
TO whom once freedom and success
denied,
Now lives in glory in his peoples
mouth.
we place our hearts In tears about
Which evor trod on Duty's path SC
blest;
We send our prayers on high, his soul
to greet,
Which In Gods great Valhalla now
doth rest.

As one of the sentences In our edito-
rial Of Saturday on Jackson and His
virginians" was reduced to a mean
inglcss tumble Of words, we take such
comfort as we can get from rcstating
our proposition. which should have
apenred as follows:
Some day in the year should be set
aside as Stonewall Jackson Day. and
the lessons of Jackson's life impressed
upon our young generations. as the
lessons OF General Lees life are re-
viewed year after year. and will be
to the end OF time"
That proposition IS worth repeating.

risked their lives to protect the honor of
the country they love-
The veterans were assured by Senator
Poindexter of his assistance in all rea-
sonable legislation in Congress.
Representative L. c. Dyer of Missouri,
who introduced Senator Poindexter. as
serted that the Spanish War Veterans are
the rightful heirs to the position now oc-
cupied by the Grand Army Of the Kepub-
lie, and expressed the hope they will re-
ceive proper recognition by the Grand
Army in Washington.
A rising vote OF thanks was given the
speakers at the instance of Senior Vice
Commander Noel Martin. The meeting
