A Clause In Napolson,s VIII.

Peter the Great is said to have made
a will in which he eXhOrted his heirs
to approach as nearly as possible to
ConstantinopIe and toward India, but
the authenticity of this document has
been disputed. and it is shrewdly sus-
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August Won
KotZebue.
Of the genuineness, however, of the
last will and testament of Napoleon /
there can be no manner of doubt. One
of it's clauses was as vindictive as the
testamentary injunction of Queen AUS
trigilda to her husband to have her
two doctors killed and buried with her
The exile of Longwood absolutely be-
queathed 10000 francs to a fellow
called Cantillon, who had been tried
in Paris for an attempt to murder the
Duke of Wellington. The man was
still surviving in Brussels when Ma
poleon III. came to the throne, and
Cantillon was duly paid his legacy.

THE DAYS OF SAC
RIFICE FIFTY A AGO

bearing their names to their
shirts when they went to death
against the Bloody Angle at
Cold Harbor; who stormed the
fire-spitting heights at Fred
ericksburg and took part in the
murderous fighting at Gettys-
burg.
The more than 1000, 600 sol
diers called to the tented field
half a century ago are but a
corporal's guard. Their march
ing line is thinned to file leaders
and color bearers, a specter army
of White-haired men that once a
year. on Memorial Day, keeps
step to the shrill Of the old fife
and the tap of the muff1ed war
drums. To-day the worn blue
line, closed up over the gaps
made in it by another year, again
is marching to the bivouac of
the dead to pay tribute to the
fallen comrades. And beside it
marches the worn line Of gray.
These are the reminders to a
new generation Of that gigantic
struggle that was fought out for
the sake of ideals; of ideals on
either side for which men freely
laid down their lives
1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task re-
manning before US, that from
these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain"

Another though in this connec-
ton is that among all the publ
cations, isms," social organiza-
tons, cliques, and guils that have
been formed. have never yet be-
held a concerted effort to teach
citizenship, simon pure citizen
ship, to teach the boy and the
man his duty to society and his
duty, as part of society, to the
city, state and nation.
True, there are isolated cases
where a few immigrants are
taught citizenship up to a point
sufficient for them to obtain
their naturalization papers, but
this is generally done from the
selfish motive Of some political
machine.
But the people Of this nation,
as a people owing owe it to the
youth of today, as well as the
adopted sons from other nations,
that a clearly defined policy of
economics and citizenship should
be taught them to enable them
to understand their relationship
to the laws relationship to them.
Our press complains that the
majority Of the law breakers of
our cities ore not native born.
But at the same time, the press
f~ails1totake to task the community
for its laxity in thought and care
for the welfare Of its adopted
citizens.
The immigrant learns of law
and society only when he finds
himself, through ignorance or
any other cause, up to anwer for
violations Of these laws before
the machinery of the law This
is 50 expensive and Wastefu1 that
the taxpayer must recognize the
folly of this system and divert
part of the taxation now used in
criminal procedure into an educa-
tional system which will admit
any and every uniformed mind,
be it native or alien, to a real IN
derstanding Of law ord society,
and the relationship Of each to
the other.

More than fifty years have
passed since the North and
South took up arms to begin the
war which Secretary Seward
declared could not last ninety
days. Presidents Lincoln's
first call was for 5000 volun-
teers, and jefferson Davis sent
agents abroad to purchase TO-
O00 stand of arms. In 1861 that
was as near as public opinion
on both sides came to grasping
the magnitude of the coming
struggle.
It was little less than an armed
that went streaming south
in the early days of the war; it
was little less than an armed
that met those recruits, and
the first battles were little less
than heroic scufffes. But pres
when the hurrah stage was
passed and the sections had set
tied down to the grim business
Of war, there emerged from the
chaos of camp and drill ground
the finest armies that ever shook
a continent with their tread.
And out of the first doubtful
trials and experiments with po-
generals, lawyer colonies
and adventurer captains, there
came the foremost military lead
ers of the age-Lee, Grant, Jack
son, Thomas, Sherman, Sheridan.

bled out of the way of the bound

HUMAN CONSERVATION

The farmers of the country are
beginning to come into their own.
Only a short time ago '4hayseed"
and ''rube'' were the only term
by which the farmer was REFER
ed to. But today men of affairs
recognize the Importance of the
farmer to the nation, and the
farmer is becoming a recognized
power.
The Capitalization Of the peo-
pie into cities, as a result of the
development of the commercial
nation, has not been followed
a sufficient increase in our farm
population. The glare of the
cities and the shorter work day,
together with a high standard
of wage which prevails in this
country, as compared with other
countries, attracts to the indus
tries the majority of the immi-
grants who come to our shores,
and the farmer and the farms
are not receiving their just popu-
Iation.
Inventors and thinkers are en-
deayoring to overcome this handi-
cap by improving the methods Of
farming, and farmers every
where are being encouraged to
systematic and place their Trans
upon a business basis.
This is a step in the right
direction, and one which is re-
ceiving encouragement from the
department agriculture at Wash
Iington, down to the smallest or
CARNATIONS of men promoting
the back to the Iand'' move
ment.
The government is spending mil
lions annually in exploitation of
farms and farming, endeavoring
to increase the efficiency of our
present farming population, but
it is doing nothing to divert imni-
grants who are best fitted for
this work, from their trainingin
their native lands, to the farms.
And in this respect the govern
ment is lax in its duty to its
adopted children.
The opportunity in the farm
ing industry as compared with
others is one which is bound to
be attractive if understood by the
immigrant.
In the city, the immigrants,
only five per cent the most in
telligent, can ever hope to own
their own jobs. Button a farm,
at least 50 per cent could even
tnally own their own jobs.
# these fact were placed before
them in an intelligent manner,
unquestionably the struggles
OF the average immigrant would
be minimized and his energies
directed into channels which
would enable him to solve the
problems which are 50 harrass-
ing.

COTTON PROGRESSED IN BELT
Conditions in Oklahoma and Texas Are
Nearly Ideal.

Memphis.-The cotton crop advanced
duriag the past week in spite of cool
weather and rather too much rain in most
of the belt for the good of the plant.
West of the river, and especially in
Oklahoma and Texas, the plant made a
splendid progress. With the ground full
of moisture, soil in high state OF cultiva-
tion and fields clean, the plant has grown
rapidly under the influence of warm
weather and open sunshine In Okla
homa the crop is still regarded as some
what late. but many Texas correspond
ents say that the plant in that state
has overcome its late start. In Arkansas
and Louisiana good progress was made by
the crop, which is in good condition, but
cool nights deferred developments more
In these states than they did in Texas
and Oklahoma.
