THE SPIRIT COUNTS

In concluding our article of
last week on high taxes and how
to remedy them, I say "the cleo
ton or defeat of any certain
candidate or set of candidates,
is going to make nightly little
difference, the big thing, the
thing that really counts is the
spirit in which it is DONE"
It is on this point "the spirit
of the thing" that I desire to
point out to you how the voters
may foster a spirit Of extrava-
gance or economy at this coming
election.
/ am making vigorous coun-
ty wide campaign on the need of
economy in small matters as well
as large, on the elimination of
every unnecessary expense and
needless clerk in the court house
on the fact that while singly
each item looks insignificant,
yet in the aggregate the waste
is enormous, and the moral eff
feet of this campaign is bound to
bring results; it is inevitable.

John Shape, the efficient minister
of the largest Baptist church in Spo-
kane, will speak as follows during the
coming week in Kennewick.
Monday night at the opera house
following the cantata, which only oc-
cupies forty minutes, he will give an
address on prohibition, closing the
campaign for our local temperance
forces.
Tuesday to Friday nights, inclusive,
he will speak at the Baptist church.
His subjects for this week make a
short course on the wonderful plan of
salvation and no one ought to miss
any one of them.

him no one knows but mama. when all
are gone but her, and she sees so many
things he has played with--his little

so you will meet him some bright day;
he will be waiting for you. We know
it was hard to give him up--one so
precious as Clifford-but God knows
best; His will will be done, not ours.
He saw bud too sweet to stay here in

hand and bid Clifford to come.
We love him; yes, we loved him,
But angels loved him more,
And they have sweetly called him
To yonder shining shore.

He calmly entered home.

Battle Of The Wilderness
Gen Grants Big Mistake

The bJoodiest battle on the American
continent. The universal mutiny Of tn,
Army Of the Potomac. The making Of
the greatest mistake in Grants military
career, and the consequent abandon
ment by him Of the line on which only
few weeks before be had purposed tc
fight the war out IL It took all summer.
These are the memories which Wed
nesday brings
II was early in the fast act Of the
drama. Grant. flushed with his western
triumphs from DoneIson through Vicks-
burg to Lookout. had come east to win
success where Mcclellan. Pope, Hooker
and Burnside had failed. not realizing
that now, for the FIRST time since Shiloh,
he was confronted by first-class COM
mander with SIN efficient army. On
May 2. 1864, he gave the order, For
ward to Richmond" which three years
before had led to 80 disastrous results;
and on May be crossed the Rapidan,
the Rubicon OF bis campaign.
There he plunged into that region Of
gloom and the shadow OF death"
which men appropriately named the
Wilderness, hoping TO get through it
before no met the Zoe. The hope was
vain. To the Southern soldiers every
acre Of that jungle was as familiar as
the streets OF their home towns. So
within three days Lee, struck fiercely,
and each army lost in the first impact
more than one-sixth OF its entire force.
That was the prelude. Grant in
stantly made not Richmond but Lee 3
army the prime object Of his attack.
That was his line and II propose, I" he
said, Ito fight it out on this line IL it
takes all summer. /" The very next day
he fought Lee again at Spottsylvania
with appalling losses and little, il any,
gain, though Barlow led his division Of
Hancock's corps almost to GROWING
victory in one OF the most gallant ex- |
pIoits Of the war. Still the order was
Forward Fight il out on this linel"
May 2S. found The two armies fighting
again, with the same results, at North
Anna. And now Grant realized that
he had in measure been betrayed.
Butler, at the south. had failed him
just as Grouchy failed Napoleon at
Waterloo. Deprived OF that aid, there

seemed to be nothing to do but to push
straight on, depending solely upon him
self.
So June i found him within sight OF
Richmond, less than seven miles away,
He was now on ground that was ia
miIiar to Meade and many others Of
the Army OF the Potomac. They had
been there two years before under Nc
Clellan. The battle ground was then
called Gaines Mill, the scene Of the
second of the seven days battles, in
which Fitz-John Porter did deeds Of
valor which would have ended the war
then and there had not Mcclellan neu-
tralized them with the biggest blunder
Of his whole campaign. But now the
positions of the two armies were ex-
actly reversed. Lee had McClellan's
ground and Grant had Lees. The Fed
eral army was on the very fields over
which Stonewall Jackson and d. H.
Hill had made their desperate but
fruitless attack upon Porter; and now
it was to make still more desperate
and fruitless assault upon the impreg-
nable lines of Lee.
The operations began auspiciously.
on June /, captured the van
tage point known as Old Cold Harbor
-or Coal Harbor, as most then called
t--and held it in spite of the furious
attacks Of Fitzhugh Lee. The next day
ne was relieved by Wright, with the
sixth Corps, and Smith with the Eigh-
zenith, who that evening made vigor- |

Clifford, the sweet little two-year-old

the following day under a mound OF

conducted by Rev. Lampkins.
Oh, how sad it was to give up one so
dear. Clifford was the pet OF the fam

substantial gains, though at heavy cost.
Lee essayed counter attack upon War
ren's Fifth Corps, with little effect.
! 1t was restless night. Repeated at
tacks were made by Lee, in the face Of
which the Federal lines we're rear
ranged. Grant held council, Of which
the often repeated story is told that all
his generals despondently advised that
the army should fall back at daybreak
from the position which it could not
hope to hold, that Grant grimly over
ruled them, saying: I'VE will not
wait till daybreak, but an hour before il
move forward all along the Incl" and
that Lee, on hearing the onset next
morning, exclaimed: The Confederacy
is lost, for the Yankees have got a man
to lead them at lastl" The story
sounds we'll, but is scarcely susceptible
of entire verification; though, indeed,
that morning the advance was made all
along the line.
1t was Friday morning, June 8. After
the restless and busy night there was
an hour OF quiet at dawn. Then sim
gle cannon shot at 4:30 o'clock-about
SUNRISE gave the signal for the charge. |
The whole Federal line rushed forward. |
Hancock was at the extreme left'with |
the Second Corps; next came Wright
with the Sixth. Smith with the Eigh-
tenth, Warren with the Fifth and
Burnside with the Ninth. 1t was the
first three that did the bulk of the fight
ing and again, as at Spottsylvania, it
was Barlow's division of Hancock's
corps that won the chief honors OF the
day, with Gibbons division sharing
them, and with Badly" Smith close
second.
Never was there fiercer fighting, and
never in our wars was there greater
slaughter. The men seemed to have a
premonition Of what was before them,
Tor thousands Of them before the charge
was made wrote their names and home
addresses upon cards or scraps of paper
and pinned them to the backs OF their
coats, in order that their dead bodies
might be identified. No reconnaissance
rad been made at the front and the adj |
5ancing troops we're everywhere met

pite the butchery, broke through the. ..
