To OLD SOLDIERS
Veterans Of the Civil War Are Stirred
By Patriotic Remarks by

The following very interesting ad-
dress was delivered before the re-
union of Civil War Veterans at Beech
wood Park last week by Col. w. Fl.

through his contributions to the press
over the signature "W. H. NJ"

Gentlemen
Two years ago | was highly hon
ored by the old Veterans of the 10th
Kentucky Infantry and the 10th Ken
lucky Cavalry by being asked to ad-
dress them at their annual reunion.
Again you have honored me, and I
am here today to talk to you about
the patriotism of siXty-one to sixty
five and to try to show you as best
/ can that it was through your de-
votion to the Union that enables us
today to go to the aid of England. and
her Allies, and check the on coming
hordes of Germany, urged on by the
inordinate ambition of a War Mad
Kaiser.
For years prior to the Civil War,
could be heard the low muttering
thunder of the storm clouds, as our
political horizon from time to time
grew darker. AS far back as the ad-
ministration of General Jackson, the
heresy of State rights was champion
ed by Thomas Y. Hayne, and John c.
Calhoun of South Carolina. These
gentlemen denied the right of the fed
eral government to levy tax upon
any state of the Union without the
consent of the state, and when told by
President Jackson that South Caro-
lima must comply with the law, NUT
terings of secession were heard. In
the meantime the slavery question
and the eXtention of slave territory
had grown to be a much veXed ques-
tion in fact it was the paramount is
sue in every political campaign. Hen
ry Clay by his genius and wonderful
craftsmanship held off the fast APP
preaching Civil War for ten years, but
the ever increasing demand for more
slave territory was fast approaching
a crisis in the history of our country.
The whitening blight of slavery was
running the manhood of the South, it
not only enslaved the black man, but
it enslaved the poorer classes of the

very hard fight, the 10th Cavalry en-
| gagged in was the battle of Gladesville
Va. Four companies of the 10th with
out assistance surprised the Confed-
crate camp at Gladesville, Va, CON
sisting of one Infantry regiment, and
the famous Black Horse Cavalry regi-
ment of Texas. The surprise was
complete, resulting in $50 prisoners
however the Texas Black Horse Ca
valry got into action and the 10th
retreated but held on to their pris-
oners. The history of the 18th In
fantry is so we'll known that it is
hardly necessary for me to try to tell
you of their valorous deeds, they were
with Sherman on his march to the
sea, and they won .imperishable fame
at the battle of Franklin where their
Valorous conduct turned defeat Unto
victory. Often in travelling through
the South ! have passed the old bat
tlefleld at Franklin. and | have tried
in mind to locate the place where the

where 1t stood one thing we all know.
that 1t ever stood facing the foe. Had
the South gained her independence
and established a government, built
upon the foundation of States Rights,
1t would have been built upon a
sandy foundation, such government
could not have existed for the reason
that any state that composed the Con-
federate government, could under the
doctrine of State Rights seeded at
any time when they no longer wish
ed to pay allegiance to the Confeder-
ate government. II is through and
by the patriotism of these old veter-
ans, that today we are enabled to send
our aid to France and Belgium and
other countries of Europe. II is only
through the preservation of an I'M
broken Union that we are enabled to
do this. What was the motive that
prompted these old veterans Of '61'-65
TO display such patriotism as the
world had never before seen? I'll tell
you what 1t was, It was the same spir-
II that prompted their ancestors of 70
to leave their farms and die on the
bridge at Concord, or to follow Ethen
Allen into Ticonderoga. 1t is that
same spirit today animates your sons
and grandsons, that by their lnvinci-

turn the face of the Hun towards the
Rhine But this is not all, from for
away Jerusalem comes the news that
all Palestine has been redeemed from
the rule of the unspeakable Turk. AL
most one thousand years ago the Cru
sader and Mohammedan fought for
the Holy sepulchre. Five times has
Jerusalem been taken, and twice de-
stroyed but today this land, the cradle
of Christianity is redeemed from the
murdererous Turks whose hands for
centuries have been red with the
blood of the Christian. There is a
beautiful story told by the Shepards
who watch their flocks by night on
the plains of Bethlehem as they did
two thousand years ago. They will
tell you that as the Christmas tide
approaches each year, that the same
star that shown over Bethlehem, and
guided the wise men from the East
to the cradle in the manager, again APP
pears as it did two thousand years ago
when the angels sang peace on earth
and good will to man.
At the next coming Christmas tide
there will be another star whose light
will illuminate all Palestine. It's
efulgent beauty will be seen on the
ripling waves of the sea of Galilee,
its reflection will be seen in the wat
ers of the Jordan, it will light with
Joy every home in the Holy land, and
the light of this wonderful star we
trust will never grow dim, for it is
the Star of Liberty.
These wonderful achievements
could never have been, had not these
old veterans left to the sons and

Mr.. Douglass defeated Mr. Lincoln
for United States Senate, but two
years later his answer caused the
ship of Democracy to be wrecked on
the rocks of Baltimore and Charles

dent and the Civil War followed.
When once the people of the East
and West became convinced that the
Union was in eminent danger of be-
ing broken up, that the Southern
states had seeded, then it was that
the grandest patriotism ever shown

the American people. who were loyal

ers of large estates should not defer
the removal from their grounds of
dead and unsightly trees, because they
believe such improvements would not
be urgent war work, say officials of
the Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Such work
can be combined with the production
of fuel wood and no labor will be di-
verted from useful lines. This source
of fuel supply will not damage the
woods or detract from the beauty of

not popular in the Southland, and
lack of education can not fail to en-
slave. 1t was thought that the Mis-
souri, compromise of 1920 had settled
the slavery question for all time, but
decision of the Supreme Court again
brought the same old question to the
front, and for a final solution. The
election of 1858 was at hand, in which
the people through their legislators
were to elect United States Senators.
Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham
Lincoln were opposing candidates,
and in their famous debate, not only
the State of Illinois, but every state in
the Union was astounded at the Won
derful power of Mr.. Lincoln as a de-
| bator. The heresy of state rights was
torn to shreds by Mr.. Lincoln and the
questions he propounded to Mr.. .Dou-
| glass were questions on which hung
the fate of a nation. There was one
question that Mr.. Lincoln's friends in
sisted he should no. ask Mr.. Douglass.
they said if he evades it, he will de-
feat you for the United States Senate
and Mr.. Lincoln replied, Douglas will
defeat me for the Senate, but l will
ask him one question that should he
answer it as l think he will, he will
never go to the White House in 1860.

Douglass in any lawful way, against

States, exclude slavery from its limits

case from the lower courts was by ap-
