Birthday of Dauis Is Celebrated at
 National Capital
By Associated Press

Washington, June 3.-The anni- versary of the birth of Jefferson Davis was observed tonight at a joint meeting of the Sons and Daugh- ters of the ccnfederacy, the prin- cipal speaker being Senator Harris on, of Mississippi, who declared the President of the Cenfederacy was "the greatest man who adorned the annals of Mississippi and the south's acknowledged leader"
 "The south appreciates the splen- did qualities of Abraham Lincoln" said Senator Harrison, and has come to believe that those dark and never to be forgotten days of recon struction. the memory of which still clings like a nightmare over the whole southland, might have been avoided If it had not been for his inopportune death.
 But I cannot understand the jus tice of fairness of that philosophy that would have the people of the south forgive and forget. while oth- CTS still hold a prejudice bordering almost on malignity against the man whose memory we commemorate to- night-the leader of a lost but glori- sous cause--a cause founded upon as strong convictions of right as ever filled the breast of a northerner.
