SHILOH MONUMENT
CORNERSTONE LAID
SHAFT WHEN COMPLETED WILL
HAVE COST $4,000 AND YEARS
OF PATIENT WORK.
North Carolina Granite-COrner-S Stone
Laid by Mrs. Alex b. White. For
mer President of ID. of G..

PittSburg Landing, Tenn. Nov. l.
The cornerstone of the $4,000 Con-
federate monument that the United
Daughters of the Confederacy are to
erect upon the battlefield of Shiloh
was laid today under the auspices of
the Adamsville Lodge of Masons, the
grand master of Tennessee, Charles
Barham, officiating. Masonic lodges of
Western Tennessee, North Alabama
and North Mississippi assisted in the
ceremony.
The monument will stand near the
old Shiloh meeting house in the angle
made by the intersection of the
Corinth- Pittsburg Landing and Ham
burg Savannah roads. 1t will face in
the direction from which the Confed-
crate forces advanced to the attack
in the early morning of April 6, 1862.
The monument when completed will
represent years of patient work on
the part of the Daughters of the Con
federacy in raising the money.
Though the battle of Shiloh, fought
April OF, 1862, was one of the most
important of the war, the national mil
monuments to commemorate the part
played by Southern troops in the bat
tie. The monument now under con-
struction will be the most imposing in
the park. 1t is being constructed of
Mount Airy On. c. granite. In the
center rises a bronze group, the sub
ject of which is 'Nictory Defeated BY
Death" Under the figures set in the
granite is bas-relief of Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnston, the Confederate com
mander, killed there. At either end
of the granite monument is a group
of soldiers. The monument is the
work of Frederick C. Hibbard, of Chi
cago. The front of the monument
measures thirty-five feet across. The
central group of figures rises to a
height of eighteen and one-half feet.
All the bronze figures are heroic in
size.
The cornerstone of the monument
was laid by Mrs. Alexander d. White
of Paris, Tenn, former president-gen-
eral of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and director general OF
the Shiloh monument fund.

PINK BOIL WORM
IN NORTH AMERICA
MOST DESTRUCTIVE OF ALL COT
TON PESTS DISCOVERED IN
NORTHERN MEXICO.
Government Quick to Act-Importa-
ton of Seed, Cotton or Hulls Pro-
hibited by Order Issued
Friday.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The pink boil
worm, most destructive cotton pest
known, has appeared for the first time
in North America The Department of
Agriculture announced today that
worms had been discovered in North
ern Mexico, where their presence, the
department says in an official an
nouncement, constitutes one of the
greatest menaceS which has come to
the American industry in its history"
Importation from Mexico of cotton
seed, cotton seed hulls and seed cotton
is prohibited under an order issued
late today.
Discovery of the worm was an
nounced in the following statement:
'The pink boil worm. the most de-
Structive of known pests of cotton has
been discovered in the Laruna dis
trict, Coahula. Mexico. within 300
miles of the Texas border. Amend
ments to quarantine orders and rerula-
tions effective immediately. have been
promulgated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, prohibiting the importation
into the United States of cotton seed

the territory in Mexico from which
shipments heretofore have been per
mitted, and requiring that Mexican
lint cotton destined for the United
States be imported through certain
northern ports remote from American
cotton fields.
Its First Appearance.
"The pink boil worm has not been
known to exist on the North American
continent heretofore. The pest is prev
alent IN practically all other cotton
producing regions of the world. and in
all sections where it has become es-
tablished has caused widespread de-
struction. It's establishment in North
ern Mexico constitutes one of the
greatest menaces which has come to
the American cotton growing industry
in its history.
Every possible precaution will be
taken to prevent the worms from get
ting across the border. All cotton in
terests are warned of the danger
which threatens the industry and are
urged to give the utmost assistance to

but they forget 1t does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles it has pro-
fessed for a century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the within
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason of a
whole people feeling the emotions of
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And 1t is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States, not on the individual will OF
president, but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision of
''the congress of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius of this country is for
peace. There is no danger of mill
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources of nature and the peace
full toll of our people,
With us war has never been a
choice, it has always been a fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war 80 high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull it down. But when some other
| tribe among the races of men sends
US a bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin of rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that sc
long as men are men and nations ma
lions, wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration IN
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but 1t is prepared
ness for defense, not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles thai
have been asserted and followed b!
the president of the United STATED
during the past two years--that the
United States shall not embroil II
self in European strife, that the Unit
ed States shall endeavor to maintain
friendly and cordial relations with eV
cry other nation and that the United
States shall firmly assert and main
tain and be prepared TO assert and

ing the internal troubles in Canada,
boarded the U. S. ship Carolina in

killed an American member of the

But we didn't go to war. Van

When Jefferson was president Eng

Napoleon hundreds more.

When Adams was president France
preyed upon our commerce until she
had piled up in our state department
charges of over 1890 violations OF
neutrality's law.
But we didn't go to war. Adams
settled our troubles by negotiation.
When Washington was president
and, neutrality first declared, war
convulsed Europe. England and
France seized 400 of our ships and
confiscated millions of dollars worth
OF our property.
But we didn't go to war. Wash

| tiation.
In his policy of peaceful negotia
lions today the president of the Unit
ed States follows the example set him
by the greatest presidents the Demo
cratic party and the greatest presi
dents the Republican party ever gave
this nation.
Policy Of Negotiation.
ITO maintain our national honor by
peace if we can, by war if we must,
is the motto of the president of the
United States.
But before submitting to the chance
and misery Of war, true Statesman
that he is, he proposes to put the rea
son and justice of negotiation to thu
test.
But, say our critics, this policy sat
isles no one.
They mean it does not satisfy thos
who would map out new and I'm
