While the Puritans, who sought the
SHORES OF new country to escape the
religious persecution TO which they
were subjected at home, commence ed

their new home by banishing Roger
Williams from their colony and hang

who settled in the South that came

no fagots We're piled by them to en-
phasize the beauty of their religion
at the expense OF the writhing victims
of the lurid flames.
The dividing line between the Jealous
Christian and the religious fanatic was
very thin. Kings and Queens had been
compelled to place their necks upon
| the block Bishops and priests assas-
sinatcd in the holy sanctuaries: mas
sacres incarnadined the streets with the
blood of innocent victims. and the
flame that was enkindled throughout
Europe by Peter the Hermit broke out
with renewed vigor in the French Rev
olution.

placed by another worse than its pre-

came the aristocrat of tomorrow, and
liberty, equality and fraternity" were
the misnomers used to mystify the peo-
pie and sanctify plumber.
This in epitome was the history OF
Europe in respect of religion, and 1t
remained for the idealist of the South
to elevate mankind to the plane Of a
comprehensive religion, and not de-
grade religion to the depths of human
depravity.
1t was from the South that came that
cry. Give me liberty or give me DEATH"
and it was that heart burst of idealistic
eloquence which emphasized the acts
of the patriots at Boston and became
the clarion note which found it's echo
and fulillment at Yorktown.
The Virginian, and ! use the term

Virginian was developed by isolation;
he was the lord of the manor on his
plantation, and had a colony of lis
own, where mo man could have seen
his neighbor without looking thro, IN

isolation sprung that self-reliance and

the great Ideals of the South.

TRIBUTE TO THE SOUTH: ITS SPL ENDID
MEMORIES AND ITS GLORIOUS FUTURE
An Address Delivered by William Kelley the Memorial Held
Mount Hope Cemetery New York, by the New York Camp
United Confederate

1t Is a very tender sentiment this
bringing OF flowers to deck the graves
OF the loved and lost: a tribute born
OF the devotion of Southern women
for 1t was in the South that Mrs
Logan. witnessing the bringing of May
flowers by the women of the South to
deck the graves of their dead heroes
long before any such tributes were
thought OF in the North was so inn
pressed by the beauty and solemnity
of the sentiment that she interested
her husband, General Logan. and to-
day this has become national tribute.
and Memorial Day is a national holt
day, and IL seems to me to be BETTING
that to-day. as we recall the days that
were, and their memories. which bring
us here to deck these graves. we might
for few moments reflect upon what
II Is that has caused so many to allude
10 the people of the South as idcalists
as contradistinguished from reaiists
The people of the South have always
been filled with a sentiment as sweet
s the fragrance of their own magno-
liza groves and as strong as their oaks.
In sighting terms they have been
spoken of as the 'aristocrats" of our
country, and there were not wanting
men III his day who derided Washing
ton and proclaimed that he wished to
make Of himself the aristocratic ruler.
There was a principle of aristocracy
which always actuated these people
of the South; 1t was the proud aristoc-
raCy of honor, bcqueathed to them by
their ancestors and kept as price,
less heritage; the arstocracy of self
respect and equal Justice; the aristoc-
racy which prompted Washington to
write to Governeur Morris:
Nothing short Of self-respect and
that equal justice which is essential
to a national character ought to in
volVe us in war''-the aristocracy of
chivaIry which needs no mailed war
rior or belted knight to sound the call
or flash the Damasccne blade, but In
the peaceful walks of republican SIM
plicity can win affection and command
respect.
Our ancestors were the cavaliers
who brought with them love of
home" which has always been a
marked characteristic of the Southern
people.
From Patrick Henry, whose love of
home and liberty nerved him to defy
the crusted jewels and regal crowns
of England. down to the youthful
Grady, whose impa ssioned appeal few
years ago for peace and fraternity be-
tweenfthe North and South was flashed
from end to end of this great confed-
GRAFTON Of States, and which struck n
chord whose vibrations filled the hearts
Of all with the sweet melody OF
peace" through the long vista, 1t is
from tho South that has always come

WILL Ferris BE
in The RACE?

The Oklahoma News has sprung
political sensation as the fol-
lowing article from that paper will
show:
Justice Robert l.. Williams
became candidate foe governor
conditioned on the fact that Con-
gressman Scott Ferris of Lawton,
would not enter the iace at least
this has been the understanding
and therefore there was some con
sternation among administration
men and part of the Williams
forces when it developed Friday
that movement was on foot to
raise campaign fund and make
q candidate out of Ferris, with or
without his active consent.
Many administration support
ers of Williams have felt their en-
thusiasm dwindle with the grow
ing certainly that the western
workers would unite behind some
one man, and that the guberua-
torial fight next year would see,
more than ever before, the feel.
ing evinced that the west side
should elect the next chief execu-
tive.
Men in charge of the Ferris
boom said Friday that tLey al
ready had assurances of cam
paign fund sufficient for their
candidates needs, and not a large
one at that.
Gov. Cruce is known to, be per-
sonally in sympathy with Ferris
possible candidacy, and would do
what he could TO elect the con-
gresham. "
The Democrat is constrained to
believe that the above move has
been made without the consent or
sanction of Mr.. Ferris. However
it is believed that he would re-
ceive the hearty support of west
Oklahoma. The democratic party
could probably come nearer unit
ing on him fol governor than any
man that has been mentioned.

white mustache.
That" he said, with a wave OF his
hand toward the throngs, set me to
thinking Of how In my country school
days we big. bad boys sometimes
locked the teacher out TO make him
give US a Christmas treat. At the
precise moment you soaked me on the
shoulder was thinking Of the time
we locked out our teacher We noti.
fed him a week beforehand that We
expected him to give US a nice, sub
stantial treat when school let out.
as we said. on Christmas eve. lie had
been q good-natured fellow and had
succeeded in keeping on good terms
with us scamps in spite Of us. so as
We wanted, for the reason. to let him
on az easily as possible we specified
only a box OF oranges and a box OF
candy.
"Tll think about IT, he said, laugh
ing, and we supposed 1t was as good
as agreed To.
so when on the morning OF Christ
mas Eve day Mr.. Teacher arrived
without anything that possibly could
contain a treat, we were hurt-doubly
hurt to think that a supposed friend
would treat us so. We silently waited
till the noon hour, and when lunch

OF us were detailed TO get him away
from the school house on some pre-
text or other. They succeeded, but
he didn't stay long. as 1t was a cold
day and there was snow. When he
found the door locked he ratified the
knob and called:

HER BEAUTIFUL HAIR.


In my fancy it seems that the fairies in
play,
While the meadows were decked in their
Summer array,
From the flowers have pilfered the pollen
with care
And have hidden the hoard in her beauti-
full hair.
I have rambled at times in fanciful
dream,
Ger the shimmering shore of a tropical
stream;
While its giistening sands I have sought
to compare
With the CLINT of the gold in her beauti-
fui hair.
Then I've thought of the mythical Midas
of old,
For the charm of his touch left the
glimmer of gold;
In my fancy I've seen him contribute a
share
OF the gold that's enshrined in her beauti-
full hair.
Though 1 like best to think, in my
whimsical way,
That perhaps in her hair once the sun
beams did play;
And the glimmering CLEANS which were
caught in the snare
Are forever enmeshed in her beautiful
hair.
William Henry Seymour.
