ern people many Of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many OF the southern

no further need OF their services.
The evacuation OF Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole South, but there
still remained with the southern peo-

terry Showed lessening Of
Wartime Grief.

For long time there was a rigid
rule against erecting any but Federal
monuments in Federal battlefield
cemeteries and Confederate monn-
ments in Confederate cemeteries. But
as time passed and the bitterness
healed slabs were placed here and
there denoting that one-time enemy
slept among the others. When Me.
mortal day came the flowers we're
placed ungrudgingly on the aliens

In one OF the southern cemeteries
where a northern soldier rests there
was for long time a practice OF dec.
Grating every Confederate grave with
tiny Confederate fiag-the Stars and
Bars As the survivors and the wild
ows and orphans of the Confederate
dead came spring after spring to
strew their flowers and plant their
flags they halted at the Yankee sol,
dier's grave for second with bitter
thoughts Finally. as time passed and
their grief lessened. they placed flow
ers on their foeman's grave also.
In 1872. as young widow OF one Of
the dead Confederates went with her
little daughter to decorate the graves
the girl noticed that no Confederate
flag had been placed on the northern
soldiers mound. So she placed one
there. The chairman OF the Memorial
committee, passing by. removed 1t.
The little girl burst into tears and
1t was hard to explain things so as to
satisfy her Her elders began to think
over the incident
The next month. when the widow
again went to the cemetery. she
brought with her small Stars and

after considerable difficulty.

daughter. who placed it lovingly on

DAY OFT OBSERVED
Memorial Ceremonies Over Fallen
Soldiers Really Date Back
to Spring Of 1865.

THE readiness with which the SOL
diers Of the Civil war became
quiet citizens at the close of the
war greatly puzzled foreigners at that
time. Foreigners do not realize that
1t has never been the policy of our
people to maintain large standing
army The soldiers Of the Union and
the soldiers of the Confederacy were
nearly all volunteers. Both armies
were composed, in the main, of law
abiding men, who left their homes in
obedience to what they thought was
their duty. The contest was one OF
principle; not one of personal revenge.
The matter being settled, they were
ready to return TO their accustomed
occupations.
The readiness with which the Union
and Confederate soldiers now unite in
observing Memorial day also puzzles
foreigners. They think that 1t is a
mere matter Of expediency which was
brought about in 1898, when some of
the old Union and Confederate sol.
diers marched side by side under the
Stars and Stripes But such is not
the case, The Blue and the Gray had

very amiable. highly scientific, and
morally earnest gentlemen are to
make the laws which govern the con-
duct and welfare of the hotels of the
State.
ION what excuse?" you ask? Why,
on the excuse that so many people
congregate there.
Next year they will probably de-
mand the same authority over the
mills and shoe shops. the publishing
houses. theatres. churches. the dry
goods stores, schools and libraries.
Why not?
Indeed, why not turn over the care
and construction of our homes to the
Board Of Health or some other COM
mission? Why not complete a job so
we'll begun, and have the Legislature
abolish itself and the courts, and the
people refuse to elect a governor and
council-why not let commissions run
our State and make ALL its laws:
The thing is preposterous, and any
legislator who will lay aside his good
nature. forget that he wishes always
TO be kind and obliging to few esti-
mable and intellectual gentlemen. and
shake up his common sense for a mo-
ment, will see 1t as preposterous.
Let US not get too far away from
the good old plan of laws laid down
in exact terms meaning the same TO
each and all. and measured out by
legal minds just as scientific as our
Boards of Health. equally earnest for
moral progress. and infinitely more
competent in the application of the
principles OF justice to all and malice
toward none.
