CHATTANOOGA, WHERE FIRST REUNION
OF U. Lev. WAS HELD JULY, 1890,
Is AGAIN READY TO WELCOME VETER ANS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Oct. 22-
This city, where the first reunion Of
the United Confederate Veterans Asso.
citation was held on July 4, 1890, again
will receive the veterans in annual
encampment on October 25, and not
withstanding a recurrence of the year
! ly predictions that This will be the
last gathering of the Confederate
army" the campaign for the 1922 re.
union is already under way. Savannah,
Ga, whose city council has appro.
priated $4,000 for the purpose of en-
tertaining the old soldiers, was the
| first to enter the field for the honor.
Although time has dealt kindly with
the Confederate veteran, each reun.
ion has made it apparent that his
vitality is surrendering and efforts
are being made in many cities and
towns to send as many Of them to
this years reunion as possible. At.
lanta, Ca has undertaken the task OF
raising a fund of $4,000 with which
to defray the reunion expenses of
every dependent veteran in the At.
lanta district. Many other communi-
ties have adopted similar methods to
swell the ranks when the gray army
parades the streets of CHATTANOOGA this
month.
Brighter Side PredOminate
While the veterans parade each
year gives a pathetic touch to the
gathering, the brighter side Of the re-
unions invariably predominates. The
social events always are an outstand-
ing feature. Commanders of depart.
ments, divisions, brigades and camps
appoint sponsors and maids of honor
and bring them all to the encamp.
ments. The veteran always is the pa
triarch Of the assemblage and the hon.
| ored guest of all occasions. Dancing
the Virginia Reel is one of his de.
lights, and many still are able to go
through the steps of the more mod.
ern dances. Frequently the younger
set takes back seat to permit the old
soldiers and their wives to dance the
polka, the two step or the round"
waltz.

THE WAY OF THE WINNER

HUNDREDS OF newspapers have printed Iohn +
ingalls, Sonnet on Opportunity, and millions have
read it. For long time ingalls, poem was consid-
cred unbeatable But now comes another on the
same subject which many persons pronounce super
ior. IISre is ingalls, poem. Read it more:
OPPORTUNITY

Fame, love and fortune my footsteps wait;
cities and fields walk; penetrate
Deserts and remote and passing by
IIovel and mart and palace late

II feasting. rise; il sleeping, wake before
turn away. 1t is the hour of fate
And they who follow reach every
Mortals desire and conquer every foe
Save death. But those who doubt hesitate,
Condemned :ulure, penucy and woe,
Seek me in vain and useessly implore-
answer not and return-no more

Here is the other 1t was written by poet
named Sill. who was in California contempora
neousy with Mark Twain, Arthur McEwen, Am
brose Berce, and who, unfortunately, was afflicted
with tuberculosis, and died young
OPPORTUNITY
This I behold or dreamed il in a dream
There spread cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud or in it, ragged
\ furious battle and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields princes banner
Wavered then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battles edge
And though: Had ] a sword of keener steel
That blue blade that the kings bears-but this
Blunt thng-he snapped and flung II from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the field,
Then came the kings wounded, besead,
And weaponless and the broken sword,
Ilill-buried in the dry and trodden sand
And and snatched it. and with battle shout.
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down.
And saved great that heroic day
f. r. Sill.
Which OF these two poems do you like best:
Sis poem about the kings son and the broken
sword is good and old story-as old the
story about the rejected stone that subsequently
became the most important stone in the building
Many man has won his battle with sword
that another man has thrown away; that is to say,
many man has worked successfully at Job where
others failed
The ingalls, poem is negative-one waits for op-
portrnity; the Sll's poem is positive-it goes after
victory.
In other words after opportunity has knocked
and gone her way, go ou., follow her get what you
want. To wait until thing comes and then take it
rs not much. But to take broken sword and win
Your tight a small job, and on it build your

ANOTHER GOUGE?

Warning has been sounded in the
United States senate that the coal
barons are pulling the wires prepare
tory to another holdup in the price Of
coal next winter.
1t is not surprising.
On the contrary, it is quite to be
expected.
Oficialdom has boasted loudly and
long of dire punishments to be inflicted
upon gougers. In fact, there has been
so much of blowing and bunk there
has been no room left for action. sssA
Coal barons know this. They have
profted from it in the past, and they
expect to do so in the future.
The public has been MIXED so often
and so successfully the barons can not
conceive of the possibility of kick
that would upset the bucket.
A United States senator has given
public and timely warning of the
scheme.
1t is up to someone to thwart it.
We have an attorney general of the
United States.
We have district attorneys all over
the United States.
We have law that deals with high.
way and wholesale robbery whether it
be at the point of a gun or by the
pulling of secret wires by unlawful
combinations of putocrats.
We have jails that will hold even a
plutocratic gouger Il if some one doesn I
turn the key.
Why should we be robbed again this
winter Cuba City New Herald.

STOP TAX EXEMPTION.

The continued issuance of tax-exempt
securities is menace to the credit
standing of the Federal State and
municipal governments, is rapidly tend
ing toward property confiscation, and
is materially delaying the industrial
progress of the nation.
"The creation of two classes, the
wealthy, free from the the burdens of
taxation, and the workers, who are
forced to bear the burden, Of which
the wealthy are relieved, through the
purchase of tax-exempt securities, is a
violation of social justice which is
crystalizing in broad public opposition
and discomfort, as the issuance of tax
exempt securities expands
1t is estimated that $l4, 425, 600, 600
of tax exempt securities have. been
issued up to January, 1921, of which
about half represents debts of states,
cities, school districts and other sub
divisions, while half represents the obi
cations of the government. We have
seen the personal wealth Of the country
so rapidly ssfregated into the tax free
class, that it has fallen from 1892, 972,
9s5 to 1882, 247, 1929 in three years 1916
l9l7-l9l8.
Stop tax exemption.
II is further estimated that the gov
eminent is now losing annually from
SITS, 900, 900 to 5000, 900, 600 on tax
exempt bonds, condition which con-
tributes to the depression of Liberty
Bonds and is otherwise creating much
dissatisfaction and growing lack Of
confidence that this is a nation of the
people, for the people, and by the
people.
Stop tax exemption.
