woman, is to me repulsive and in

details prompting the charges, but
when analyzed the whole PROPOSE

The charges Of Elgin H. BlalOck
that negroes have been given the
preference over whites in the regi-
mental records division of the War
Department will be investigated by
Secretary of War Garrison. Follow
ing the visit of Senators Thornton
of Louisiana, Sheppard of Texas and
Johnston of Alabama, Secretary
Garrison addressed a letter to Mr..
Blalock asking for definite state

from all over the South applauding
his stand.

WIS., life was always characterized by
manly dignity, majestic courtesy, spot

self sacrificing patriotism. To a broad.
statesmanlike grasp of public affairs,

derstand men, and interpret their mo-
ttiyes. never hesitating to denunnce the
| spurious or to sound timely note of
warning when political friends or foes
seemed bent upon course fraught
with danger to political liberty or sub
versive of the underlying principles of
true government.
| Such was his purity of thought and
character that he might have said with
the good Sir Galahad, "My strength is
! as the strength of ten, because my heart
is pure - HIS most violent enemy
| could not accuse him of unfaithfulness
to the lofty ideals from which ema-
mated the governing impulses of his
conduct,-of any act inconsistent with
his cherished principles of right and
truth and justice,-of any deviation
| from the course which his conscience
indicated as the path of duty.
His friends never knew him to betray
trust, to be wanting in genuine
sympathy with misfortune, to be I'M
mindful of the claims of friendship, af-
lection or patriotism, to fail in any
crisis demanding courage, steadfastness
or fortitude, or to be forgetful Of the
obligations resting upon the creature
to ever acknowledge allegiance and
thankfulness to the great Giver of all
Good, and bow in humble submission to
the Divine viii.

accumulation of years, and though his
tenure Of mortal existence was extended
even beyond four-score, yet his mind
remained bright and clear, and the in
domitable spirit which had buoyed him
through the stormy scenes and trying
vicissitudes of his unusual career, shone
with undimmed radiance and undimin-
ished fire until his last hour, when,
Saving run his race and finished his
course, he surrendered only to the Di-
vine summons, 'sCome, thou faithful,

Is This Typical of the New South?

Ny Dear Comrade: | noted with
pain the neglected" graves of dead
Confederate soldiers on Decoration
Day-a time set apart to renew
memories and to pay homage to the
heroes of the Lost Cause" | mean
the graves of many of those who in
life were prominent in all our af-
fairs and whose descendants, sons
and daughters and their families,
show such utter disregard for fllial
duty that they do not even attend
the ceremony of dedication to the
memory Of their fathers.
1t shocked me beyond measure to
see grass-grown graves of dead Con-
federates who left behind well-to-do
families, and in the grass and weeds
which encountered the mounds that
marked their eternal resting place,
a flag-the flag of the storm-cradled
nation that fell-peeped from where
some noble, generous Confederate
woman had planted it.
On my return from the ceremo-
MES l saw on the streets more than
one son of a Confederate whose
fathers grave stranger hand had
just strewn with flowers.
Will you tell me if this brutal dis
regard of a common amenity, one
which prompts the generous i'm
pulse of stranger, is typical of the
New South" of which our children
boast? VETERAN.
Is it? r.
Perhaps the New South is too
busy reaching for the dollar; too
busy to give an hour or a half hour
to most sacred duty.
But there is a melancholy salts
faction in the realization that Con-
federate Memorial Day, June 3, will
not escape the Old Guard nor the
noble women who with flowers and
wreath never forget "our' dead"
On Memorial Day all we can do is
to sing at the graves of our dead,
but sing as, we may, in lofty strain
or lowly, we can never express all
our feeling. We can never celebrate
all their fame. A crown, such as
our dead deserve to wear, will never
be wreathed for them, but, it is our
duty to gather garlands which, if
not beautiful enough for their
brow, we may humbly and lovingly
lay at their feet.
Possibly some day the sons of the
New South" may awaken to the OBJ
servance and the performance of
their obligations, neglected through
inadvertence, which is being full
filled by their survivors of the Old
South, so-called, and the patriotic
women of the South.
1t may be cited that at the North
on Federal Memorial Day, which oc-
ours annually on May 80, the day is
a holiday not only in name but in its
observance, particularly notable in
the outpouring of the people and in
their gathering at the cemeteries
where eulogies and orations are de-
livered and the graves Of the dead,
Federal and Confederate, are strewn
with flowers or evergreen.

thread upon which is hung beautiful

the best that has been seen in this
class Of entertainment and SO well
chosen that the members make such an
appeal to the heart that excites the ad
nBration of every nan, woman and
child who go to the theatre for enter
tainment.
. In announcing mis- greet play. the
management Of the Pierce Theatre
gives further evidence of IT'S policy to
present the best that is obtanable in
the dramatic field, irrespective Of the
cost and expense that may he involved.
"Uncle Tom s Cabin" compares favor

A jury composed of H. LeGendre, J..
B. Siemens, Theo. Wiercinski, James
Nicholson. George Quinn, and John F.
Sullivan sitting at an inquest held on
the body of Frank Markowski deceased
brought in the verdict that Frank Mar
kowski came to his death through the
excessive use of alcholic liquor.
Frank Markowski was born and edu-
Gated in Hurley. He was the son of
John Markowski a shoemaker and a
member of the Hurley Fire Depart
ment. In the year 1901 Frank had the
misfortune to loose both of his parents
and since that time has been allowed
largely to follow the vent of his own
inclinations. He contracted the drink
habit and has been steadily going down
hill for some time. Last month he
came of age and received a sum Of
money bequest of his parents, since
that time he has been continuously un-
der the influence of liquor. Sunday
evening Frank went into the Newport
saloon and went to sleep sitting in a
chair about two O'Clock on Monday
morning he slipped down from the
chair to the floor and lay there. At
A. M. when the bartender went to
wake him he discovered that Frank
was dead. Franks death we believe
has been caused by the greed of the ur
principled saloon keeper who allow
minors to frequent his saloon, and also
to the town authorities who do not en-
force the law prohibiting minors from
going into saloons. A little time given
to enforce the law prohibiting minors
from entering saloons would be of more
benefit to this community than years
given to constituting the Baker Law.
Frank was John Markowski's boy,
whose boy will be next?
