South's Greate World Contribution.
h greatest single contribution Of
the South to the world was Robert E.
Lee, the noblest type OF the Christian
soldier in war and of the Christian
citizen in peace.
Like Lancelot brave, like Galahad
Clean

clusion to this poor tribute to him
than to apply to him T~ennyson's
tribute to Arthur Hallam.
And thus. he bore without abuse
The grand Did name Of gentleman.
Detained by every charlatan,
| And solid with all ignoble use
The "Old South OF u fathers In
dead, and with it passed a glory from
the earth, but her spirit still lives
in the lives and characters Of her
noblest sons, like Lee, that shall shine
like stars forever to light the way to
an ever nobler civilization for each
succeeding generation of the children
of the New South.
The South is growing rich, but
wealth cannot save a civilization. In
the character Of its people alone must
be found its salvation. Babylon and
Rome and all the other nations that
lost the torch they bore, and We're
pushed aside by those worthier in
character to bear it, bear tragic tes-
timony to the truth of this. Let the
South learn this World-Old truth and
ever teach it to her children. Let

Of Southern character, laid in the
quiet homes Of her people and in ths
chOols Of her children.

SUCH A POLITE LAD
But There's a Good Business Re son

It was on a Wade Park car, on
the line of forty angles, and it hap

A boy of perhaps ID suddenly arose
from his seat and gave it to a stout
lady. The stout lady looked up at
him.
You're a polite lad she said.
Few boys nowadays would do he

Maybe you saw the One about the
boy who carried the Did woman's
basket and she gave him a brick house
and a moving picture theatre?"
NO" said the lady; Il didn't see
that one either
There was another one" the lad
went on, "about the boy who had a
lower berth in tn sleepin' car an
gave it to a sick lady an she left him

much it was, but it must have been

RESUME WORK APRIL 8.
Forces on New Road to 90 or job a,
That Data, Says Supervisor Ring.

Work on the South Fork wagon road
which was suspended few weeks ago
on account of inclement weather and
It's effects will be resumed on Monday.
April Q, according to an announcement
made public yesterday by Supervisor
King OF the forestry service, who has
the work in charge. Some 20 men who
were employed when operations ceased
will go back on the job and it is posi-.
BILE that the number will be increased
by the addition of few more helpers
1t is anticipated that the building
operations will proceed without inter
ruption throughout the summer and. if
so, great progress will doubtless be
made on the new highway within the
next few months.
Elk Road Builders in Line.
That the Elk City folks are thorough
ly in accord with the plan and will take
up their allotted shoulder room at the
wheel is attested by the letter received
this week by Supervisor Ring from E.
M. Watson, secretary of the Elk City
Good Roads Association, in which Mr..
Watson writes as follows:
81 am instructed by the Elk City
Good Roads Association to write you
that we will make the survey of the
South Fork Wagon road all the way
from Elk City to connect with the work
at your end at the bridge, where, we
understand, you have already surveyed.
We will do this if the forest service
and the Grangeville Good Roads AS
sociation will build the road. Our en-
gineer here figures that it will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to make this
survey. We will do this much sure and
more if we can. Please put this prop
osition to the Grangeville people and
in the meantime we will do everything
in our power to help the good work
along Please let us hear from you as
soon as convenient. Any advice, sug-
gestions or propositions will be appre-
ciated and carefully considered"
While this generous offer of the Elk
City boosters may possibly be accepted
it is highly probable, according to a
competent authority, that the survey
will be done by government surveyors
or at least under the supervision of
surveyors and engineers in the govern
ment's employ.

"ao-To-cHuRcH-suNDAY."
Grangeville Ministerial Association Des.
ignates April As Date.

The churches Of Grangeville will OBJ
serve Sunday April 5 as "Go-4o-
Church-Sunday.'
Such is the announcement issued yes
terday by the Grangeville Ministerial
Association which has had the PROPOSE
tion under considers for some time.
The eco To o-Church-Sunday" idea has
swept the country during the past few
months and there are few towns and
cities where the citizens have not Join
ed heartily in the move and turned out
almost universally on the Sabbath day
designated. In Kanas City hundreds of
persons were unable to gain admission
to the churches and in various towns
in south Idaho where the plan was
adopted the attendance exceeded even
the most sanguine hopes.
Have Special Programs.
On April all the regular patrons of
the several churches in Grangeville will
occupy their respective pulpits and each
church will be open to everybody with
special sermons and special programs.
The idea is not to swell the attendance
at any one church but rather to increase
it at all the churches

attention of the whole country, cannot
be thoughtlessly dismissed as merely

and interest reawkened in multitude

comes testimony of the popular response
to the idea.
| DR.. Edward Thompson, secretary OF
the American Sabbath Union, is the
originator of the idea. He says: cone
year ago l started the. Go-To Church
Sunday movement in Cincinnati. 1t
did not meet with the universal re-
spOnse the later movements have met
but it enlisted many churches and was
a success. / never had heard of the
idea being advocated before that time
Since then I have received hundreds of
letters asking me about the work. The
reasons that led me to begin the move
ment were the following: The religi
Gus census Of 1912 showed that on1
about 40 per cent of the people wer,
going to church and that four-fifths OF
the children of the United States ni

The Land of
Beginning Again

1(WISH that there were some won
derful place
Called the Gland Of beginning
again.
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby old coat
at the door
And never put on again.
/ wish we could come on it all una
ware,
Like the hunter who finds lost trail
And l wish that the one to whom our
blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates like an old friend
that waits
For the comrade he's gladdest to hail
We would find all the things we intend
ed to do
But forgot, and remembered too late;
Little praise unspoken, little promises
All the thousand and one little duties
neglected
That might have perfected the day for
one less fortunate.
So [ wish that there were some won
derful place
Called the land of beginning again.
