ticC long in vogue in the South of

is to be attacked by the Republicans
the mnut" they assume control OF

Der OF representatives in each State
ON the basis OF the vote east ana not
by population.
THAT the bill can be put through
there j. no doubt, but whether il Will
ever become law depends on the at
titudv the President takes. The fact
that the NcEruc, Of the South We're
called upon without question To do
their part in tn" war in tn" draft

by th> Republicans a& evidence Of
the fccliuE that they Should receive
the rights OF citizens if they are to

Of citizens.
II is certain that Southern m"m-

would mean that instead oi th" big

Carolna&. Georgia., Texas. Alabama

If the President listens to the pleas
Of the Southern representatives he
wy veto the measure when il gets
to him. 1t is doubtful if the llouS"

MOTHER OF T'IIE DEAD.
BY Lucian B. Watkins.

BY Iucan B. Watkins
When War has done It's tragedy in blood,
And under owly hills of earth there lie
Strong men who bravcd its fury and to die
Amid the battle thunder and the thud
OF comrades falling in the scarlet mud:
When there is Peace; and, proudly rising high.
Great monumental glorics kiss the sky,
And all the air is sweet with bloom and bud
Then will the army OF the living go
To shape anew the world where hearts have bcd
Rcclaiming there the sacred fields of woe.
Rceeeming ifc's blcs altar, home and bread:
Then men will love each other better, O
Long-su(cring Mother! Mother of the Dead!
