OUR CITY COUNCIL-ELECT
Is STARTING OUT RIGHT

The incoming City Council, head
ed by its energetic Mayor-elect J. c..
Her, has already entered upon a
most commendable course of re-
trenchment and reform. The main
idea is for the improvement and
identifying of the city and economy
in the administration of municipal
affairs. The Mayor-elect has agreed
in writing to donate his first years
salary of $50, and each of the new
councilmen has agreed to do like
wise in his stipend for the first
twelve months in the sum of $24.
Mr.. A. G. Yeiser, one of the new
councilmen, has also agreed to sup
plement his donation by the free
use of his Office for meeting pur-
poses, which will be a saving of IS
per month or $50 for the year, as
formerly paid for other quarters.
More than half of the old council
| men have also agreed to donate
their last years salaries, as yet un-
paid.
The new City Council promises
several reforms in administration OF
the towns affairs, and its members
are certainly starting out in a most
praiseworthy way by taking the mi
tiative in the matter of economy.

Stonewall Jackson

Fifty years ago tonight there fell
mortally wounded at charlottesville
one OF the great captains of the Eng
lish speaking races.
Lee. who called Stonewall jackson
his strong right arm. once said that he
would have won Gettysburg IL Jackson
had been there. BE that as 1t may,
the almost uninterrupted victories Of
the Army Of Northern Virginia ended
when jackson passed away, ChanceI-
louisville marked the food tide OF the
Confederate arms. Two months later
came Gettysburg, and from thence on
to AppomattoX Lees forces. despite all
their marvellous courage and tenacity
were never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military history Is
unique. Most great regulations were
made by long years Of service. His ca
reer was compressed into scanty
twenty-five months, from that day in
July. 1851. when Bee pointed to him
standing like a stone WALL at Bull
Run. to the carly May day In 1863. when
he marched his corps around the front
of Rockers army, smashed In its right
flank and gave the Confederacy its
most brilliant victory. only to fall
under the fire OF his own men,
a terrible partnership was that be-
tween the Cavalier and the Puritan;
between Lee. who embodied the chival-
ry of Virginia, and Jackson. who was
direct spiritual descendant OF the men
that fought with Cromwell at Naseby.
In all crises the two men seemed TO
fight with a single brain and single
purpose. destitute alike of the jealousy
and intrigue that all but wrecked the
Army of the Potomac.
jackson presents a strange appeal.
ing figure on the pages OF history. He
was as gentle and gracious as Lee, a:s
silent and taciturn as Grant. as daring
and audacious as Stuart or Sheridan.
as relentless as Sherman, and with it
all there was an intensity of religious
fervor that belonged to the seventeenth
century rather than the nineteenth.
The war to him was a holy war. He
went to battle with prayer on his
lips. and he went from battle to give
thanks to God who had crowned his
army with victory
Appealing from his native sod
In forma pauperis to God:
Lay bare thine arm--stretch forth thy
rod
Amen That's Stonewalrs way
Even the bullets that struck him
down he regarded as providentiaIly di- b
rected by 81 definite divine purpose.
There Is no more mendacious phrase
than that OF "a born soldier" bur
here was man who was beyond ques-
ton born soldier-a soldier who hated
war. who was dazzled neither by ambj
ton nor glory, who fought for princi
pie. and principle alone. and whose
military genius was elemental. Peace
to his ashes. a united nation can be
proud that he was numbered among her
sons.-New York World, May 2.
