The Banner today publishes a let
ter from Prof. j. Norton Cru a mem
Der of the faculty of Williams college
with large circle of acquaintances
in Bennington, who returned to
France to rejoin his regiment upon
the opening of the present war. In
some respects Prof. Crds letter is one
of the most vivid word pictures that
has come across the water during the
great struggle. Much OF the descrip-
ton that has been published in this
country has been written by news
paper correspondents who have been
so restricted by rigid censorship that
they have not been able to do justice
to the subject Prof. Crus letter is
written from first hand information,
there is no doubt about that and ii is
from the pen of a student with the
power of expression and keen sense
of observation. The letter was orig
inally published in the Hartford
Times.

The Trend of the Times.

In all branches of business, either
commercial or those of amusement,
imposing magnitude is sought as a
necessary appeal to the public for
the bestowal of patronage. The
business man who buys in large
quantities and offers the best goods
and more of them-for the least
money-will, by the universal laws
of Nature, ultimately obtain control
of the line in which he deals.
Following the same line of argu-
ment to a parallel conclusion in the
show business, the w. 1. Swain Show
Co. may be cited as having achieved
like result by their adoption OF
methods by which patrons are given
a maximum of value for a minimum
price. Just picture to yourself three
thousand care-worn, work-surfeited
show fans assembled in the big
brilliantly lighted Swain show tent
all enjoying a good show at trifiing
price of admission, and you have the
answer: SUCCESS. tr
The w. l. Swain Shows are due in
Union City for a week of clean, up

offerings, commencing Monday night

About JEFF Davis.

Washington, July 27.-Given q
fool with pen and you have such
disgusting stuff as this from the
Pittsburgh Dispatch:
1.-THE last ex-President who got
himself into an American Jail before
Huerta was copied in Ell Paso was
Jefferson Davis"
There is man in Tennessee
named Yancey. He paid attention
to the foregoing in one of his bril-
liant editorials in the Nashville Ban
ner. 1t is meet that the South
should retort against every such slur
upon a whole nation as this Islander
of the memory of the man who him
self represented millions of brave
people and in his person yicariously
suffered for all of them.
Dick Yancey is in the front rank
Of the very elect of the journalistic
cloth. He has the spear Of Ithuriel
to pierce any problem whence ever
gush copious streams of Truth at
his touch. That is journalism worth
a rush.
"And here's hand, my trusty fer,
And gie's hand, O. thine"
You did him up brown, Dick, this
Pittsburgh ignoramus. with that
rapier Of your, and now intend to
kill him again with my bludgeon.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1915-09-10

Does this here Pittsburgh editor
know enough history to realize that
Jefferson Davis spilled his blood in
stricken field for the American flag
I trow not. Does he know that it
was charge made by Jefferson
Davis at the head of his regiment
that captured the Bishops Palace at
Monterey? To be sure he does not.
Does he know that it was Jefferson
Davis who not only saved the day,
but the American army, at Buena
Vista? Certainly not.
Now, I'm a-gwine to tell you about
that. Old Frank Wolford had been
soldier in our Mexican War of
1847, and in our subsequent big war
between the North and the South
he was the commander of the glo-
rious First Kentucky Cavalry in the
Federal army, as fighting a command
as ever was. In 1865 this old hero
had nearly as many holes in his
body, perforations of rebel lead, as
this Pittsburgh editor has wheels IN
his head. And here is what Frank
Wolford said of jeff Davis in stump
speech he made in the Kentucky
mountains in 1865, when and where
not one per cent of his audience was
in sympathy with his utterance:
"Fellow citizens, was at Buena
Vista. l saw the battle lost and vic,
tory in the grasp of the brutal and
accursed foe. I saw the favorite son
of Harry of the West my colonel,
weltering in his blood as he died on
the field. / saw death or captivity
worse than death in store for every
Kentuckian on that CORY day. Ey-
erything seemed lost and was hope
less, when a Mississippi regiment
with Jefferson Davis at his head ap-
peared on the scene. / see him now
as he was then-the incarnation OF
battle, a thunderbolt of war, the
apotheosis of victory, the avatar OF
rescue. He turned the tide; he
snatched victory from defeat; he
saved the army; his heroic hand
wrote 'Buena Vista in letters oil
everlasting glory on our proud es
cutcheon. l greeted him then, a
hero, my countryman, my brother
my rescuer. He is no less so this
day.. and / would strike the shackles
from his aged limbs and make him
as free as the vital air of heaven
and clothe him with every right
enjoy, had l the power"
That was the chivalrous sentiment
one of the brayest soldiers who evel
girded sword on thigh held of ar
other brave soldier, an adversary
who was then a fallen chieftain. The
tribe of jackal, however, is not YET

The day in 1860 that Stephen A.
Douglas in the Senate of the United
States spoke of quarter" abiding
to Jefferson Davis, the latter rose UP,
and every man there felt that in this
|southron's veins was more and bluer
blood than all the blood of all the
Towards as he contemptuously re-
torted, ~ scorn your quarter!" At
that moment there was not Sena-
tor in that Congress who was not
proud to have such man for fell
low countryman. 1t was the one and
only time that Stephen A. Douglas
realized that he had met his master.
In the same theater, years later,
George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
rose and delivered himself of a
philippe addressed to the Southern
chieftain, then a man without citi-
zenship. Mr.. Lamar answered:
when Prometheus was chained to
the rock, it was the vulture, and not
the eagle, that buried it's cruel beak
in his vitals and tore and tortured
them"
1t was, perhaps, the finest retort
in parliamentary history, and it was
effective, too, for since that day
now a quarter of century agone
no scamp of demagogue in the
American Senate has uttered in pub
lie a word derogatory of the char
acter of the man who stood for al
the South and stood for it in foul
years of awful trial.

they don't? You've never given

they do or not. Why not let the
people decide this question for
themselves in place OF YOU and a
few other newspapers and pol
iticians deciding il for them !
For with log counties now dry

them have inclinations in that
direction.

fair about this question and see
whose right. The Record has
been fighting for prohibition in
any form for the past ten year.
or more, and personally we are
in favor Of statewide, but what
we are contending for now is for
a set Of state officials and a Leg.
islature that will give the people
a chance to decide this important
question for themselves. and not
allow a few newspapers and pol
iticians to say what the people
want and what they don't want. "
The fundamental principle of
