| old soldiers Of the Confederacy by
! furnishing and maintaining a Sol
aiers Home, only Texas and one
other state perhaps has made any
provision for the destitute women
of the Confederacy-who though
they did not take up arms, rendered
not less valuable service in the home
not only in experimenting the work
of the field and farm, but toiling at
/ the loom day and night to furnish
clothing for white and black and for
the soldiers in the field. Beautiful,
durable homespuns were made by
hands unused to work, and now
these hands, grown. old and crippled,
by rheumatism can not work. Must
they beg, and receive the dole of
charity?
The question deferred all these
years, is now being pressed home to
the legislatures of every State.
What is to be done with the desti-
tute old women of the Confederacy?
Louisiana has done nothing. During
our recent visit to Covington an in
cident in point came up. An old SOL
der, deformed and helpless from in
flammatory rheumatism and his
faithful old wife, who had shared
with him the hardships of war time
and the years that followed, were
given house room for services as
custodian of the buildings and
grounds of Dixon Academy. But no
miracle replenished the barrel of
meal and cruise of oil, and this wor-
thy couple would have suffered but
for the generosity of the kind peo-
pie near them. 1t was suggested that
application be made for admittance
to Camp Nichols. The old man said
sadly: "They will take me in, but not
my wife, and / will not desert her"
Just a week ago an application came
to the Shreveport Chapter U. d. C.
from a helpless woman asking for
admission to the Confederate Wom-
ans Home. The person was Louis
ianian writing from Texas, thinking
that of course the Pelican State,
whose motto is II live and die for
those | love-" had made provision
for the destitute women of the Con-
federacy as the Lone Star State has
done.
The question is pertinent, it is
pressing and must be answered.:
What is to be done for the brave,
noble women now old and helpless
who held the fort at home while the
men were in the field?
Think Of the large amount of State
funds that are annually spent Law
ishly, wastefully, to no good end,
while a part of the States most
worthy citizenship suffers pauper-
ism. The cruelty, the iniquity of it
cries aloud to heaven.
The Confederate Southern Memo
rialbAssociation in 1910 passed res
0lutlOn asking state legislatures TO
take immediate action for the pro-.
vision of widows and helpless chill
dren. The resolution provides that
in all states of the Confederacy in
mates of soldiers homes may be al
lowed to take their wives into the
home with them. A part of the
home is to be given over to the use
of widows and wives Of veterans.
Provision is also made for the COM
fort and welfare of the crippled and
helpless children of veterans. The
passing of bills pensioning widows
and helpless children is also urged.
So far Louisiana has done nothing.
How many states have taken action?
We would like to know.

roDAY's GAME
Southland We. Braddock.
Silver Springs pennant aspirations re-
ceived severe jolt from the hands Of
Southland, when they came out at the
short end Of the game, with the score
10 to 5.
Up to the fifth It looked as though a
good game was on tap, but in that ses-
sion five hits and four errors let ten
Southland men cross the plate. After that
the game was q mere farce.
Southland hit Gill hard after the fifth
getting q total of nineteen hits in the
ceived undoubtedly affected the big
twirier. as 1t was the cause Of at least
half OF the hits.
The main swatter of the day was Hunt
the Southland third baseman. In five
times at the bat he connected for four
safe hits, one single. one double, and two
triples. Besides that. HUNT scored four
runs, and played brilliant game on the
defense. throwing four men out at first
seemed impossible tp get.
About the only bright spot on the Sill
yer Spring slate was the first basing Of
Pop" Saunders. He made another one
of his famous bare-handed catches yes
terday when he went about three feet up
into the air and pulled down r. Gilrs
high peg. He was the only Silver Spring
man to solve Ltchfield's delivery, bang
ing out two hard singles to left.
Southland produced new twirier, that
is. one new to the Olympia League in
Litchfield, the Sewerage Pumping Station
southpaw. Atchf1eld twirled a sure game
throughout, allowing but six hits, and
having perfect control, not a man getting
to first on q gift. At the bat he also show
ed up to advantage, garnering three
safeties, a double and two singles.
Carr was called out for interference in
the third inning when HUNT, running
from second to third, bumped into the
Silver Spring shortstop as he was about
to catch Carr's line drive.
Rogers. the peppery little Southland
backstop, turned over the mask to
Dechard in the sixth inning and went out
to shortstop. The first ball hit to him he
flelded cleanly, and started the only
double play Of the game Rogers pulled
of some neat base running in the fifth
when he scored from first on Litchfield's
short double.

Sailor Burke is not having much sue

match with Willie Lewis, but he refuses
to stay idle. He has signed for a ten
round bout with Ted Nelson, the Austria
liam welterweight. at the Olympic A. c.,
New York. next Monday night.
Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight,
who has done no boxing SINCE he de-
feated Pal Moore at the National Sport
ing Club several weeks ago. has been
matched to fight Matty Baldwin in Cal
ifornia late this month. The bout is
scheduled to go twenty rounds.
II Abe Attell's arm does not prove
equal to the task which Abe has set out
to perform next week, 1t may mean the
passing from the ring Of the present
featherweight champion and one of the
greatest boxers the game has produced.
There seems to be q very general i'm
preston that Attell is taking too big a
chance in going against such a rugged
performer as Knockout Brown for his
first tryout since the second injury to
his arm. The injured member felt strong
enough before the Burns fight. but It
was not long before the old trouble came
back, and the arm was useless. Burns

to injure the arm than Browns. Under

Democratic Hard Times. "
lDoUGLAs INTERNATIoNAL

The Arizona Republican is showing signs of inability to see the depressed condition of the country at the pres ent time. Because of bountiful supply of water and good growing crops in the Salt River valley the editor of the Republican evidently has not been impressed by thespresent condition of stagnatiOn of business from one ocean to the other and from the northern lakes to the gulf, else he would not have the nerve to refer to what he chooses to call "de mo- cratic hard times during the Cleve- lana administration. In an editorial reviewing the proba ble work of the extra session of congress the Repubi- can says:
 two matters of legislation which will have attention at this session. Our sheep-growers will watch with con cern the placing of wool on the free list, and will wonder whether re- turn to "the Cleveland tariff on wool' will mean return to democratic hard times" tor the sheepmen. And he people of the territory generally will watch with intense interest the progress of statehood legislati
 If the Arizona sheepmen are to suffer by redu ction of the tariff on wool the case would be the suffering of one man where one hundred would b. benefited by being enabled 10 secure cheaper clothing, and so it has been through the protective tariff system Of the republican party. This party has unblushingly placed the tariff burden on the many consumers for the few producers who have been thus permitted 10 build~up monopoly TO oppress the public.
 During the ''democratic hard times" and the "Cleveland tariff ou wool" it cost just one-half to support a family as it does now, after sixteen years of the republican protective tariff, and while wages may be some what higher than at that time the increase is a mere bagatelle when compared with the increased cost of living. The appeal for the sheep men in Arizona will not be likely to arouse any particular enthusiasm iu Arizona except among the sheepmen, who are enjoying the benefits of re publican tariff protection while the balance of the people are being held up by increased cost of clothing.

SUNDAYS FUNERAL AT
 MORENCI MASO IC CEMETERY.
More Than Six Hundred People Attend
 Funeral of Len Scott.

The funeral of Len Scott held at the Morenci Masonic Cemetery on Sum- day afternoon last was attended by fully six hundred friends and ac. quaintances of the deceased. The ceremony at the grave was under the auspices of the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of EIks, the deceased be- ing a member of Clifton Lodge.
 The fraternal organizations attend ing the funeral in a body were the Elks, Masons, Eagles and Hispano- American Society and every vehicle was pressed into service to convey those attending from c ifton.
 Upon arrival at Morenci the Eiks marched 10 where the body lay at the home of MT. O'Brien. After a short prayer at the residence by Rev. Krich baum, of the Presbyterian church, the body was borne to a coach attatched 10 the funeral train Jn the Murenci Southern. Every seat on tue funeral train was occu- pied and large number were unable to be accommoda; ed. Arriving at the cemetery the Eagles and mem- bers of the Hispano-A A merican Society opened ranks and the body borne by the pail bearers, followed by the Elks and large number of friends, passed through to the grave. Beside the casket Chaplain Geo. Reizer, of the Elks' lodge, delivered the i'm pressive invocation of that order Then the m m bers of the A. H. A took their stations and the burial service Of that order was performed in solem and impressive manner.
 The pail bearers were Henry Hill, John D. Patty, Frank B Laine, J. V. Parks, Albert Cummings and O. J. Coty.
 Thus ended the last sad rites over the remains of one of the highly re- spected and beloved citizens of the district and as the large concourse Ot people wended their way from the side of the grave many eyes were wet with tears of sincere regret and sor- row over the loss of good citizen and true friend.
