all mankind a lesson. AS the battle

battlefield teaches the equally price

brethren who were misled and mis-

ror is human, but forgiveness, di

friends Of the Union alive today than
the men who fought under the ban
ner of Lee at Gettysburg. How much
better mankind would be If the old
feuds which afflict the primal elder
nations of the earth, would be al
lowed to die out, as the feud between
the North and South has done. AS
Gettysburg fifty years ago in tones OF

AS the old soldier walks over the

places there are to remind him OF
the deathless valor displayed on both
sides. There is the small village OF

Tho Immortal Declaration.

To many pseudo Americans the inn
mortal Declaration of Independence
was directed. Its candor and its spe-
cific charges against George III and
his court must be thorn in the side
Of those who would harken to every
wish of England of the present day.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote tho
Declaration he did not mince words
He saw and felt the wrongs from
which the colonies were suffering and
fear of offending did not restrain him
from submitting candid facts to q cam
did world. Those were the times when
oppression taught men the true worth
Of liberty and independence. They
We're the times. too. when the illustri-
Gus signers of the Declaration did not
hesitate to tell the man who was re.
sponsible for the oppression and the
whole world what they thought Of him
and his government. Witness this
passage:
'In every stage Of these expressions
we have petitioned for redress in the
most humble terms: our repeated Pc
titions have been answered only by re-
peated injury. A prince whose char
acter is thus marked by every act
which may define tyrant. is unfit to
be the ruler of free people," .,
3Dictation from an outside power
would not be tolerated by tho ns1
who signed that documents Their
sense OF self-reliance and their love
of liberty were of too high type fol
that. Unfortunately times have
changed somewhat since Liberty al
any price was the slogan of the rev.
olutionists. Today peace at any price
seems to be taking it's place. Justice
at any price should be our motto
Without justice peace has no charms
Let those who would. out of the
magnahimity of their hearts. comply
with every wish Of England, read the
Declaration of Independence and learn
the old lesson anew. We cannot afford
to lose our sense of the value of lib
erty, We cannot afford to become toe
closely affiliated with foreign nations
We cannot afford to let foreign ma
tions tell us with impunity what we
should do. Let us have peace, but lei

ger history Of the world!
Thus the historian and the military
in arm today over the CORY battlefield
of Gettysburg, and recount the deeds
of valor performed there fifty years
ago. But perhaps Divine Providence
who witnessed these decisive battles
of the world, had planned their issue,
as We know it, had planned their issue,
Carthaginian must go down before the
Roman-had planned that the hero Of
Austerlitz and Lodi must no longer
soourge Europe-had planned that a
nation conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the principle that all men are
created equal, must not perish from
the earth" Although the military ex-
ress Of our race will see "a glimmering
the DEGREES ~f Divine Providence. and
the sentimental -worshipper may
feel disappointed at the result of these
decisive battles; yet all good men who
love humanity and applaud the prog
ress of our race will see "a 1. nmering
of Gods hand in the outcome Of all
such conflicts. If Hannibal had been
victorious, how much mankind would
have lost by losing the benefits of Ro-
man civilization! If Napoleon had tri-
umphed at Waterloo, we shudder to
think of the bloody tragedy he would
have surely re-enacted upon the stage
of Europe! II Lee had been victorious
and our splendid Union destroyed,
what a penalty his success would have
exacted not only from Americans but
from all mankind! We shudder to
think of the perpetuation of slavery,
not to mention the broken and dishon-
ored fragments of a once glorious re-
public.
Rut the God of battles ordained
otherwise, ordained that Gettys-
burg should be the turning point IN
the career of the rebellion. The
chains of the slave weighed heavily
in the scale of divine justice; the
assault upon the life of the nation
weighed heavier still. And so the
army of Lee went down to defeat.
After the battle Of Gettysburg the
fortunes of the South declined stead
ily until Lees surrender at Apo
matox Courthouse. The South fought
courageously-sough to the last
ditch; and, as the historian has we'll
said, when the sword of Lee was de-

At Gettysburg today the world
witnesses wonderful spectacle.
North and South are there, as they
were fifty years ago. But what
difference in the meeting! Never be-
fore has human history recorded such
an exhibition of fraternal love af-
ter such fratricidal strife. The old
wounds inflicted by the war are all
healed. Ordinarily such charity and
good fellowship never blossom where

his brother Is a murderer" / John S:lh
In due process of time and in
obedience to Gods command Gen.
1899, Eve bore Adam two sons, each
very different type OF manhood
Mothers ought to ponder upon the
words of Eve, II have gotten a man
with the help of Jehovah" Parents
should realize that 1t is God who
sends them their children, @. g., by his
help, and 1t is to him they must give
account for their nurture and up
bringing. Upon reaching manhood
one, Abel, became a shepherd, and
The other, Cain, became a farmer. The
difference in their characters, not their
occupations, is illustrated by the sac
riflces they brought to offer unto God.
Although it is not recorded, 1t Is
highly probable that God had COM
handed that there should be an offer
ing of blood. Sin had entered the
world and we are told in Hebrews
p:22 and 1919, 30, that only by
the shedding OF blood is there any re-
mission of sin. The blood atonement
may be repugnant to some superficial
thinkers, but 1t is not in the sight of
God. II Is Gods way. II can be
traced in the early traditions of nearly
every religion.

Asheville,s school system is of superior
excellence. There are Is buildings, 100
teachers, and more than 1000 children in
attendance. The schools are thoroughly
modern, with courses of study running from
kindergarten and primary grades through
the grammar schools which is topped off
with a High school course of approved eff
cheney, from which its graduates may enter
many of the leading colleges of the country.
In addition there are a large number of pri-
vate schools and colleges, one, the Bingham

FARMER AWAITS TRIAL
FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY

William Janicke, farmer living
in .Rhinehart township, near the
Geary county line, was brought to
Abilene yesterday and confined in
the Dickinson county jail to await
trial on a charge of assault and bat
terry with intent to kill on his daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Mary Janicke.
The trouble occurred last week.
Janicke and his sons wife were In
the house alone, and the rest of the
family were in the fields. An argu-
ment arose, and Janicke beat and
kicked the woman and poured scald-
ing water on her.
He was taken before Henry Pot
tie, the Rhinehart justice, and bound
over for trial until August ID, by
which time it is thought that Mrs.
Janicke will be sufficiently recovered
from her injuries to appear in court.
The story in Saturdays Reflector
was incorrect in placing Janicke's
residence in Geary county.
