fearful activity, its rush and grind Of

frame.
1--WE have not time now to study
ethics," she continued. "We no long
er are polite enough, chivalrols
enough-the charm of home life is
fast going-the fireside almost de-
stroyed."
In the old days, she said, there was
leisure to think, to read and to medi-
tate. In the rushing life Of today, she
said, southern people have lost the So
cial graces, the charming manners,
the gift of letter writing and even the
gift of conversation.
1T is now, hurry, hurry, hurry, to
keep up with the telegraph, the tele-
phone, the automobile, the moving
picture show-yes, and the flying ma
chine, too. How restful the old life
was. What a picture Of contentment,
peace and happiness 1t presented. 1t

gardens with box-bordered beds, so
dignifed, so orderly and 50 stately"

and other people in that section Of the
country. Recently the Alaskan En-
gineering Commission contracted for
400 tons, or over $4,000 bushels, of
potatoes with the Matanuska farmers.
Products are being hauled by the
farmers to Matanuska and shipped
over the railroad to Anchorage and
other points along the line. There is
still room for large number of home
steaders in the vicinity of the railroad,
an dthe Government hopes to encour-
rage farmers from States to come to
Alaska and take up homesteads in the
territory tributary to the railroad in
order to develop the agricultural lands
SO that the county may some day in
the near future be self-supporting.

CIVILIZATION
DUE TO SLAVERY
Old South Was SOftened and Mellowed
by Control of Destiny Of Two
Races.
(By Associated Press.

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 9.-The institu-
ton of slavery caused the civilization
Of the old south, Miss Mildred Lewis
Rutherford, the historian general, told
the United Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy in an address before the conven-
today.
1T was, undoubtedly, the institu-
ton Of slavery as it existed in the
South" declared Miss Rutherford, "a
difference in the slave holders them
selves from other slave holders that
caused the civilization of the old
south. These were men Of the old
Cavalier stock and the fear of God
gave them minds attuned to justice,
hearts trained to love and pocketbooks
open to the needs Of humanity.
"The black man should thank God
for the institution Of slavery as it ex-
listed in the South-the easiest road
that any slave people, ever passed
from savagery to civilization under
the kindest and most humane masters.
"This civilization was destroyed not
so much by Thirteenth Amendment
freeing the slaves as by the policy Of
Reconstruction in the South, and that
Exodus Order given by Thaddeus Ste
vens through the Freedman's Bureau,
followed by the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments for which the me-
greos were not prepared.
"Had there been no interference by
the north there would have been %
race problem today"
Miss Rutherford said il must be ad-
mittsd that the civilization Of today
was along broader lines, but thst ~
