Unfurl our Southern Banner
In it's latter and decay,
And let us gaze upon 1t
Each sad Memorial Day
The day on which we honor
Our heroes brave and true,
Who bore that flag in conflict
With those who wore the Blue.
That flag, now worn and faded,
And so fondly laid away,
Was once the pride Of loyal hearts
Whose owners wore the Grey
The pride Of our own Southland,
And Of each woman's heart,
Who gave up cherished loved ones
In war to bear their part.
In those long years Of warfare,
Our country's darkest night,
That flag was always guarded
Like precious jewels bright.
Men of gallant knighthood,
The bravest of the brave,
For It's honor and defense
Their life blood freely gave.
That proud old Southern Banner
Our soldiers watched with care;
1t filled their hearts with courage,
Forbade them to despair;
And when on fields Of conflict -
They brayely won the day,
1t waved In splendor over
Their ranks all clad in Grey.
1t waved Ger Stonewall Jackson
In his glory and his pride,
And dropped in solemn sadness
When that gallant hero died;
And when at Appomattox
Our glory ceased to be.
1t dropped DER broken-hearted,
Brave Robert Edward Lee.
We love our flag most truly,
Both for the cause that's dead
And also for the loved ones
Who for its safety bled-
We love it for the memory
Of heroes true and brave.
Who found their resting places
in the soldiers honored grave.
If standing Oh some rampant
OF Gods eternal world,
The spirits Of our heroes
Could see that flag unfurled,
They'd cry with holy reverence:
I'VE bore it long and we'll,
And no dishonor stained it,
Altho' our Southland fell"
And since, in Gods own wisdom,
The cause we fought to save.
Has long been deeply buried
In Times eternal grave,
Fold up that banner fondly,
And with kind hearts and true,
Extend the hand OF friendship
To those who wore the Blue.

GERMAN PEACE
MOVE DISCUSSED

New York, Dec. l2.-Germany' 8
proposals for peace are made at
time when her armies have taken the
offensive in the newest battle area
and when the western front has reach
ed another deadlock.
The peace that Germany now wants
is one with Teutonic troops occupying
enemy territory on every front. The
war is yet far from having gone to
the knock out that David Lloyd
George demanded in his United Press
interview a short time before he be-
came the British premier.
On the contrary. Germany's posi-
ton now is not that Of beaten an
tagonist. The Germans occupy at
the present moment probably the
highest position they will reach. as
far as practical purposes are con-
cerned, no matter how long the war
continues.
They have a clear road to what
they regard as the center Of their
future colonial empire. In Asia Minor,
and they are holding in check every
movement to break through the
German defenses.
II would be. therefore, greatly to
Germany's advantage II peace
could be secured on this basis.
Nevertheless. Germany's losses In
man power are becoming constantly
greater than the losses OF any one
Of her principal antagonists. At the
same time, the British government
has Just undergone reconstruction for
the purpose OF carrying the war to q
more bitter conclusion, and France
too, is evolving a scheme for greater
efficiency.
| Under these conditions, while Ger
many Is not overthrow, the German
militarists may well feel that the fu
ture developments Of the war canno'
hold out for Germany any better pros
poets than the ceaseless killing o.
proportionately more Germans thai
Frenchmen or Englishmen.

cessions to secure peace at presen

session recognizing the common in

nature should be held previous to
each session at some point within

should be even more fruitful Of re-
suits.

ELECTING A SPEAKER

ELECTING A SPEAKER
Who should be speaker Of the Ore
gon house OF representatives at the
session to open next month was a
matter or absorbing interest at the
meeting of the southern Oregon leg
islators gathered in Grants Pass Mon
day. Five OF the six house men,
bers from Josephine. Jackson and
Douglas counties were present. and
It was pretty well understood that
the sixth member. Representative
Griggs OF Douglas county, had COM
missioned his colleague, Represen-
tative Brand, to act for him along
certain lines.
An attempt to agree to the cast
ing Of the vote Of the southern Ore
gon delegation as . unit upon the
epeakership question failed. Repre-
sentatives Thomas and Gore OF Jack
son and Brand Of Douglas. favored
support Of Bean Of Lane county for
the leadership Of the house, while
Representative Sheldon Of Jackson
showed leanings toward Stanfield Of
Umatilla. though evidently willing to
Join In . solid vote with the delega-
tion. Representative. Sweeney, dem
ccratic representative from Jose
phine county. had pronounced senti-
ments in favor Of Stanfield, and be-
fore the day was over had sent a
telegram to Mr.. Stanfield assuring
him that he could count upon his IS
one Of the 81 votes needed to land
him in the coveted speakership chair.
Thus the attempt to coalesce the
southern Oregon delegation upon the
spsakership failed, and present In
lieations are that Stanfield will get
two Of the six, those Of Sheldon and
Sweeney, the other four going to Mr.
BeAn.
It Ia evident that the Rogue river
ashing question appeared more or
Isas covertly into the speakership
lineup from the southern Oregon
sroup. Bean Is touted as the friend
II the closed river advocates. while
those who are more hberally In
slined seem to favor Stanfield. Should
stanfleld win, the supporters Of the
closed river would have lost the first
round, for his appointments upon
the fishing committee would be some.
what influenced by the sources Of
his support. From Jackson county
Messrs. Thomas and Gore are ex
pected to support the proposition o.
an absolute closing Of the river Il
commercial fishing while Mr.. SHIELD
on II inclined to more liberal view
hut will no doubt vote with his col
leagues upon the issue.
1here Is a growing belief, how
ever, that the Rogue fish question
will have been brought near to solu
ton before the converting Of the leg
islature, and the bitter fight OF pre-
vious sessions will not result. TIL
Jackson county men have indicate,
desire to work in harmony al
along the line and II is believed tina
a middle ground that will protect al
interests can be found.
