Secti0nalism Disappearing
President Taft said the occasion hat
brought the daughters together was hot
The mourning al the bier cf q lost
cause but that they met to celebrate
the heroism, courage and sacrifice of men
of the south. He declared north and
south, alike, should rejoice in the com
mon heritage of caurage,' left by the
war, and that while the greater horrors
of Me war which visited the south made
IL More difficult for the feeling of hos
tilty to die out there than the north.
the sectional line was at least entirely
disappearing.
Until within recent Decades the
president said. prosperity has not shed
her boon of comfort upon the south with
SO generous a hand as upon the north.
Hence those of us in the north who have
sometimes been impatient at a little flash
now and then Of the old sectional sntag-
onism, are unreasonable in our failure TO
allow for these marked differences.
For years after the war the republi-
can party which had carried the nation
through the war to its successful con-
clusion, was in control of the administra-
ton of the government, and ii was inn
possible for the southerner to escape the
feeling that he was linked in his ale
glance to an alien nation and one with
whose destiny he found it difficult TO
Identify himself
Time, however, cures much, and after
while there came a democratic ldmn-
istration of years and then another one
of four years. Southerners were called
to federal offices, they came to have
more and more influence in the halls
of congress, and in the senate, and the
relationship of the government brought
with it a sense of closer relationship to
II, and to all the people for whom tie
government was carried on.

Seeks Divorce for DeSertiOn

Mrs. VIM. c. Lowell, of this city,
this week filed suit for divorce from her
husband on the ground of desertion.
She asks for all the community prop
erty, which includes 40 acres near this
city and 800 acres in Montana, and
the custody of their daughter Mary,
fifteen years Of age. Very little OF the
property is cleared and is not capable
OF producing a revenue more than
enough to support the mother and
daughter and for this reason she be-
lieves the property should be awarded
to her. Mr.. Lowell deserted his family
about a year ago and has moved to
Canada, where he follows the occupa-
ton OF trapper. He recently wrote his
wife and daughter that he did not in
tend to return to them. Attorney Fox
of this city is representing Mrs. Lowell.

Engineer Weds in England

Reginald Bowden, Great Northern
engineer, who has spent the past three
months in England returned home
the first Of this week and gently broke
the news to his friends that Mrs. Bow
den would arrive here about the first
Of March. The young lady, who was
formerly Miss Henrietta Emily Baker,
the daughter of a prominent oyster
dealer in Margate, county Of Kent,
England and Mr.. Bowden were mar
ried there on the fourth OF this month.
The marriage is the result Of romance
begun years ago, the two having been
friends in childhood. Mrs. Bowden
will remain in New York city with
friends until about the first of March
and then join her husband in this city
to make their future home.
This is Mr.. Bowden's first visit to
his old home in about seven years and
he says there is no place like the U.
S. A. The return voyage across the
Atlantic he says was most enjoyable,
although they experienced some
pretty rough weather at times. To
the young couple just embarking upon
the sea of matrimony their many
friends will extend their heartiest con-
gratulations.
