Why?
Baltimore Sun.


Why is it that Christmas is still the chief
holiday of the year in these busy, practical,
skeptical modern times? Why is it that
the world in its moving on has not moved
away from but has moved closer to this
day? Why is it that it is the only day on
which men of all creeds and of no creed at
all can and do come together as on COM
mon platform? Why is it the only day for
which with common consent we make such
elaborate preparations, extending through
weeks and weeks? Why is it the day to
which the most callous of US look forward
or backward with some specially tender
thought or softening sentiment?
Is it not because of the doctrine of love
and brotherhood behind it all, the doctrine
that long antedated that of freedom and
equality, the doctrine that views the whole
human family as one household, and which
calls it's members back from strife and
contention into peace and amity? 1t is
the day of days for this reason, and its
wide celebration is an outward sign of the
supreme inward grace of civilization and
progress.

Senator Murphy j. Foster.
Monroe NEWSSTAND

Monroe NEWSSTAND
The News Star takes peculiar pleasure
in commencing United States Senator
Murphy j. Foster to the kind consideration
of President elest Woodrow Wilson, for
appointment to any honorable and lucrative
position within his gift. MurphyJ. Foster
is man above reproach. He served his
people and State faithfully in many re-
sponsible positions, doing his full duty,
with the lights before, to the best of his
ability At no time was he recreat to that
sacred trust. Senator Foster has
been in public life many years, but as a
testimonial of his worthiness and integrity,
he is poor man to-day-much poorer in
this worlds goods than the day when he
entered public life. He placed honor and
integrity above price, and served Louisiana
unselfshly, inspired only by motives of the
highest character. Such public servant
should be rewarded when opportunity to
do SO is presented, and the News Star urges
President-elect Wilson to honor himself as
well as heed the wishes of many citizens
of Louisiana by appointing Murphy j.
Foster to an Office Of trust and honor, per-
fectly satisfied that the honor and trust
will never be abused.

Genius at Table.

It would appear that the man of
genius usually requires Il large supply
of substantial food Intellectual work
demands full nutrition to repair the
waste of brain tissue Scott was wont
to attribute his extraordinary capacity
for continuous work to his good diges-
ton and the wholesome restraints of
his appetite in his youth Il have as
keen an appetite now as any man"

Mirabeau is stated to have been an
enormous feeder. eating as much at a
meal as would suffice three ordinary
men. Talleyrand was also a noted
eater. Goethe and Napoleon ate large
quantities Of food. but cared little for
the quality. Bismarck was noted for
his appetite. which was Unsuitable. but
his food was of the simplest
Many stories are told Of the gross
delight in eating evinced by the two

is that the younger. being overtaken

burg, which was begun on July by A. P.
Hill contrary to General Lees orders, was
continued on the second and third Of July
as sort of necessity, resulting in the re-
pulse of the Confederate invasion and the
destruction of the hope of final Confed-
crate triumph.
A few days later the general revolt in
the North against the consumption or levy
in mass ordered by Congress broke out in
bloody riots in the city of New York, a
signal for a concerted movement for peace
in every part of the North, but with Gen.
eral Lee retreating into Virginia, and Con-
federate troops no longer threatening
Philadelphia, the intended outbreak
against the Northern CONSUMPTION was
abandoned.
Efforts have been made to lay the blame
for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg
on Stuart and his cavalry, but Colonel
John S. Mosby, the famous Virginia scout,
who constantly worked for and with Stu
art in volume on the Gettysburg cam
paign, brings great deal of evidence to
show that Stuart and his cavalry, so far
from contributing to the defeat in Penn
sylvania, greatly added to the confusion
and anxiety of Meade by operating in his
rear. He brings out the fact of A. P.
Hills rashness and disregard for orders, a
fact too frequently pardoned by General
Lee, but all the same the cause of the dis
aster at Gettysburg.
The famous Confederate chaplain, Rev.
DR.. j. William Jones, in paper read by
him before the Massachusetts, Historical
Society, mentions that Stonewall Jackson
would not submit to A. p. Hills disobedi-
ence of orders, and several times put him
under arrest, showing how impatient oil
discipline and disregardful of orders Gen
eral Hill was, something that General Lee
was too ready to pardon. But when such
violation of orders and disrespect for dis.
cipline lead to such national disaster as
the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg
there can be no excuse for it. The battle
of July forced the situations that brought
on the tremendous fighting of the next two
days, which created conditions that caused
the downfall of the Southern movemen
for independence.
i General A. P. Hill was gallant fighter
but he was associated with not few dis
astrous events for the South. It was hi!
command that broke at the battle of Will
derness in May, 1854, and caused the crisis
which was only put at an end by the arri
!, val of Longstreet's men who rushed in ane
filled the bloody gap from which Hill hat
been driven.
Gallant and daring soldier, he fel
during the last retreat from Richmond il
1865, at the head of his decimated com
, mand, contending against vastly supe
rior force of the enemy. If he had servet
under an iron man like Stonewall jackson
or Wellington he would have made
erander record. But the great Lee wa
, too generous and chivalrous to his over
,, generosity was his undoing at Gettysburg
