Tulsa Preparing for
Confederate Reunion

m HE worlds most stupendous war,
y in which the United States is
now engaged with all it's might, will
not prevent the United Confederate
Veterans from holding their annual
reunion set for Tulsa, Okla, in Sep
TENDER.
There had been some doubt about it
until Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo, as director general of all the
railroads, assured the Tulsa Chamber
lof Commerce that adequate facilities
would be provided for transporting
the old soldiers who wore the gray,
and such of the Sons and the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy as may be able
ito attend.
The reunion city is now making
preparations to entertain the visitors
and make the occasion we'll worth
while. The reminiscent note will
have its place, of course, but the war
of today will be strongly reflected in
the proceedings, and American solida-
lrity will be all pervading.
The reunion will intensity the spirit
4
!of patriotism, and taking that view of
lit, the government can well afford to
Incorporate with the Tulsa committee
in it's effort to make it a signal
success.
The usual low rates will be granted
and if the crowd at the reunion is not
as large as it has been in other years
it will be partly because the survivors
of the Lost Cause have grown
thinner by death, and partly because
a majority of the Sons Of Veterans
will have joined, the national army
to fight for their country against
German autocracy.
Tulsa is not large city. Although
lit now claims a population of about
40, 900, the last census credited it with
only 1882. But no city Of approx
mately its size is quite SO enterprising
and none is more hospitable.
When Birmingham had it's last Con-
Ifederate reunion in 1916 Tulsa was
represented by large delegation Of
business men, headed by the largest
band in attendance. 1t made strong
bid then for the 1917 reunion, but
Washington, D. G., was chosen.
While several cities competed for
THE 1913 reunion, Tulsa was an easy
winner. When the veterans decided
upon the national capital, the ire
united country" sentiment was the
compelling motive, but the opinion was

Everett Is Missed

surely miss Blanks Everett said
Arthur crowder. the president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, "for there is
something bright gone out Of my life as
well as -hsfore my eyes.
Blanks was always so appy-hearted
and went about his work as secretary
with a smile, and then he was such a
fancy dresser. How j miss his rainbow
tinted shirts, his sporty cravats and his
natty spats. He is a typical southerner,
loving life and slipping pleasure wher-
ever he found it, but not afraid to die
when his country called him. 1 am sure
many others miss his genial presence as
/ do"

THOUGHT HE WAS IN HEAVEN Bv Frank Willis Barnett

If you are tired and need rest If

world. get on the train and put in a
day at Livingston.
Awhile back my friend, Hester Gar
ner while in reminiscent mood, told
port, at the beginning of the great
war. 1t was . nightmare OF journey.
Being poor sailor. he suffered from
sea sickness, and being unused to
mules and their kicking and biting,
and kept awake by the shrek of the
fog horn, he longed for death before
he got from New Orleans to the other
side.
Then ono night he went to sleep and
woke to find the ship at rest. and
peeping out of a port hole he thought
he was dreaming, for seven rivers were
flowing down through fields of vel

was quiet and peace and beauty that
I had not hoped for after the hell
through which / had passed. But it
was real. we had landed in sight of

But greater question is involved in
the proposed constitutional amendment
1t is question of states rights. 1t in
wolves the question of whether or not
other states of the north and west might
force upon Alabama the right for ignor-
ant negroes to vote in a general election.
force upon Alabama the rights and priv
ileges of negro children to attend the
same schools with white children. In
deed. it would establish the right of
northern and western states to force

terially with the present government of
states wherein the negro population is
very large.
We all admit that we want prohibition
for the southern states. We condemn

Bit it is great question of whether
or not voters of Alabama have the right
to interfere with the methods of living
of Californians or New Workers..
The people of Alabama should be per-
mitted to vote upon this question d.
rectly and the voters should instruct the
members of the Alabama legislature how
to vote upon the proposed constitutional
amendment. 1t is. therefore, the duty of
May, to submit this matter to direct
vote of the people, who by this method
shall instruct the Alabama legislators

freely expressed then that 1917 would
witness the last reunion.
1t was thought that few of the
veterans left in the land of the living
would be able to stand the fatigue of
travel and the excitement of a

discontinued. But the old vets,
