PLEDGE POLICIES FOR LOANS
lmprudent Act That Really Means Man Is Borrowing From His
 WidoW.

Many men, pressed for money, go to the life insurance company, de- posit their policy as security and bor- row as much as the company is will ing to lend. That the practice is com mon is proved by the fact that most companies have loaned from a fourth to third of the aggregate face value of their policies in this way. Very few of these loans," says the annual report of the Connecticut Mutual-and this company's experience is typical "are ever repaid to the company. The moneys |. are swallowed up in business enterprises, in specula- tions and the total result means embarrassment and distress in a great many cases, and poverty in the place of competence, when the claims mature and there is nothing left above the loans but mere mar gin in cash on the policies for the protection of families or estates" Men who borrow on their policies are taking away protection from their families. It ought not to be done Golfers.

Little Rock.-With the soul-inspiring strains of Dixie" "Sewanee River" and My Old Kentucky Home" to urge them on, fully 10000 Confeder- ate veterans, the flower of the South, stmarched from the old statehouse to Camp Shaver and return, bringing to a successful close the twenty-first an nual convention of the United Confed. crate veterans.
 Many distinguished leaders were absent, dead or physically disabled, but practically all of the camps were represented. There were men who rode with Mosby and Morgan, and marched with Lee, Jackson, Beaure- gard and Johnston, Gordon, McGru- der, Cleburne and Pickett from the first Manassas to AppomattoX. For rests matchless cavalry corps was represented by detachment of hard riding Kentuckians, Tennesseans and Virginians, as firm of seat and straight of back as when they first flung saddle across thoroughbred and answered to the early call of the South.
 It was undoubtedly one of the largest and best arranged parades in the history of the association, and as the veterans marched proudly by it appeared to an onlooker as though the term "the thinning line in gray as applied to them should be changed to the increasing line in gray
 
 the sponsors and maids of honor were ill line, and these shared the honors with the veterans.

Tuesday morning the convention proper met at the Auditorium, where Gen. George w. Gordon, commander in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, presided.
 While the crowds were assembling, Southern airs were played by che band and sung by the large chorus of school children. With the old gavel, used in many previous reun- lGns, made from the wood of a bush to which General Green of the Conti- mental army is said to have tied his horse before one of the battles of the Revolutionary war, General Smith called the reunion to order and vel comed the guests with brief speech Led by Mrs. Griff Edwards of Vir- ginia, the Southern choir, wearing the gray of the Confederacy, sang The Bonnie Blue Flag" and Chaplain General R. Linn Cave pronounced the invocation with the audience stand ing. General Smith then introduced Prof. Junius Jordan, who, in an elo- quent address welcomed the veterans in behalf of the Arkansas soldiers.
 In concluding his address. Prof. Jordan said: Soon the curtain will fall to hide the receding form of the last Confederate soldier, and tie great American tragedy will have no living actor to prove the story of the great conflict To the sons and daughters of the veterans we are gradually but surely committing the history, the honor, the valor and the righteousness of our cause; and in behalf of the names, memories and gallant deeds of your mighty ances- tosr, in behalf of our fallen comrades, we beseeeh you to continue steadfast in the faith, always abounding in love and admiration for the purest and most valiant band of soldiers that ever went to battle-and let their welcome day of reunion continue un- til God shall come to take down his stars and bid us all a welcome in heaven"
The Green Forest tribune., 1911-05-26

bid you welcome to Arkansas We are delighted to honor you, not only for the bravery you exhibited on q hundred battlefields, but for the no less splendid courage you manifest ed in the hour of disaster and de- feat. l shall not undertake to dis cuss the various causes that led you to organize the Confederate govern ment. Your case has been stated with unansweTable logic by Missis- sippi's great statesman, Jefferson Davis. Nor need I stop to go over in detail the history of your great struggle, the battles lost, the victor ies won. Suffice it to say that, al though greatly outnumbered, you maintained your cause through four long and weary years. Generations yet unborn will be thrilled with the recital of your heroic deeds and your devotion to liberty will stand forever as an inspiration to mankind. When the future historian shall write the name of those who won immortality in that great struggle, our beloved state will contribute it's share to the list of honors. History Will keep alive the names of the generals and commanding officers. But what ot the private soldier, humble and un- known to fame, who went forth to battle that his country might be free? Upon every Southern state there rests the imperative obligation to procure the name of every one of it's Confederate soldiers and preserve the sacred roll in it's archives forever
 Tn the course Of nature, these reun- ions must soon end. Before many more years come and go, the last Confederate soldier will have crossed over the river to rest under the shade Of the trees. Let US hope that in the better land there will De another reunion, where all true and brave Confederate soldiers Will meet to dwell in never-ending peace,"

More Soldiers Than at Last Reunion.
 Although the numbers of the sol diers of the South is rapidly growing less, the number in the parade was considerably greater than reviewed at the last reunion. The fact that the Rock than near the last reunion city probably accounts for the increased number in the line. In point of num- bers, the states ranked as follows; Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, Geor. gia, Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mis- sissippi, North Carolina, South Caro- lima, Missouri and Florida.

the South's fairest daughters and most gallant men.
 It is officially announced that 106,- 000 persons were brought to Little Rock during the week by the various railroads entering the city, and thou sands of these made side trips into the state for the purpose of investi- gating the resources of Arkansas.
 The convention began with the meeting of the Sons of Veterans in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium Monday night, at which time the veterans were welcomed by the sons and the sons and veterans were both welcom- ed on behalf of the city by Mayor Taylor. Commander-in-Ch c. J.. Owens of Washington, D. C., presided over the meeting, and delivered 2 short but stirring address. Several addresses were delivered by promi- nent veterans and sons of veterans. Ex-Governor Dan Jones evoked much applause during his address, in the course of which he said: Never again let it be said that the Confed- crate soldiers fought for a cause which they believed to be right, but say they fought for cause which they knew to be right
 Richmond Pearson Hobson of Mer- rimac fame was slated for an ad- dress, but was unable to be present.
 A pleasing feature of this meeting was choir composed of large num- Der of uniformed young ladies, who rendered Dixie and "Sewanee River" before a madly cheering aud fence. The meeting closed with the introduction of the sponsors and maids of honor.

 Dr. Cave paid a high tribute to the bravery of both Northern and South ern soldiers, but said the fact re mains that in the war the soldiers of the South won the larger measure of glory.

pr. Hartzoe Waxes Eloquent.

One of the features of the reunion was the eloquent welcoming address by Dr. Henry Simms Hartzog of Lit tie Rock on behalf of the Sons Of Confederate Veterans. Dr. Hartzog was in splendid voice and never in finer mood or more attuned to an occasion. He said he had been iIl- clined to consider the old soldiers as venerable and staid old men, but since seeing them so buoyant and spright- ly, he had about decided that the classification should be readjusted and the terms venerable" etc., ap- piled to the sons. Speaking of these reunions as matter of sentiment, Dr. Hartzog said that sentiment is the greatest thing in the world The love of mother is sentiment" said he, "and the love of that grand old flag of Stars and Bars is also senti- ment. Yet what could be more en- nobling? That flag went down in defeat, but, thank God, it never went down in dishonor, and admiration for

On account of the illness of Gen. eral Gordon, General Van Zandt of Fort Worth, commander of the Trans Mississippi division, led the parade. The reviewing stand was turned over to the veterans unable to march, and the rooms of General Gordon in the Hotel Marion were officially saluted instead of the stand.
 All the Southern states maintained headquarters in the old statehouse, and this historical old building was constantly thronged with soldiers seeking to renew acquaintances in some instances terminated by the closing of the war. The old build- ing was gaily decorated with the Stars and Bars and it's spacious grounds afforded a resting place for many foot-sore veterans. A large reviewing stand was erected the en- tire length of the yard, and the wild est scenes of enthusiasm were wit messed here as the gray-clad veterans, 75 years young, marched and counter marched beneath the flag they love so well.
 No other city has ever provided so well for the old soldiers. Camp Shaver, veritable city of tents, was established at the City park, and at least 5000 veterans were given free shelter and food there. In addition to this, the public school buildings of the city were turned over to the old soldiers free of charge, and if any soldier paid for lodging he did so on his own initiative.
 It was an inspiring sight to watch the veterans as they gathered in the park in the cool of the evening and

they tell us that this is best, and it may be so; but I beseech you to pardon an old Confederate soldier, who is perhaps blinded by memories that sometimes fill his eyes with tears, if he cannot see it so, and, be- lieving, as history teaches, that pa triotism is most ardent and freedom most secure in small communities, would today rather have his own state as his crowned queen, and owe to her his highest allegiance than be a subject of the mightiest, richest and most glorious empire that ever was or can be reared by the wisdom and power of man.
