The occasion of Memorial Day
brings to notice the few remaining
figures in public life of the veterans
O feither side in the war of the SOS.
One of the Blue and one of the Gray
still hold congressional positions
Francis Emory Warren of Wyoming
is So years old, and was born IN
Massachusetts. His civil and politl-
cal life has, however, been identlhed
with Wyoming, in which state he has
held almost every honored position
that could be offered. Chas. M.
Steadman of North Carolina served
throughout the war between the
States with General Lee and is said
by many to bear close resemblance
in physique and manner to his hon.
ored chieftain. Mr.. Steadman is %
in age but mentally alert and par
ticularly accurate in memory. This
with ripe judgment gives him advan-
tage over younger, less experienced
men. He is true type of the south
ern gentleman and is much beloved
by his associates in the capitol.

Rev. Honorable Zimmerman, called "Llm
for short, candidate for governor OF Texas,
has plank in his platfor mthat may not be
wise but it ought to prove vote getter. The
has plank in his platform that may not be
for the control of the price of cotton by the
state of Texas in the same fashion that Britain
controls the price of rubber and Brazil the
price of coffee. He would have the state OF
Texas issue bonds and buy all the surplus cot
ton, withholding it from market until the man
ufacturers are ready to pay soc per pound for
it. He shows that Texas produces today two
thirds of the cotton of the United States That
being true Texas by buying all its surplus cot
ton can fix the price for the entire American
crop without action on the part of the other
producing states. Zim's proposal is called So
cialstic by his opponents, but he answers them
by pointing out that it is no more socialistic
than the government of the United States
guaranteeing to the railroads per cent inter-
est on their investments, or the government of
Great Britain guaranteeing to the rubber pro-
ducers that rubber will not sell lower than
certain price, or the government OF Brazil
guaranteeing the coffee producers certain
price The proposal will undoubtedly receive
friendly consideration by the cotton producers
of Texas-Sylvester Local.

jefferson Davis Birthday

This Bird day of June is Jefferson
Davis birthday. Though rarely fail
ing of some observance in most cities
and towns of the South it is legal
holiday in but three states-Georgia,
Florida and Alabama. Though Cen
eral Robert E. Lee is acclaimed a
hero everywhere, there is still stig-
ma on the name of Jefferson Davis
in remote parts of this country, due
to a complete misunderstanding and
interpretation of his real character.
The u. ID. C. has this name to clear
of prejudice along with the other
mooted points of the sacred history
of the South and they are to be COM
mended for the persistent and duti-
full attitude they take in learning and
teaching the real facts of the history
of the Confederacy that the future
generations may give honor where
honor is due.

Memorial at Marion, o. Vice Presi-
dent Dawes performed the official
act and delivered the address which
was attended by many thousands of
visitors. Fully $4,000 out-of-town

the limit. A large number of dis
tinguished visitors from Washington,

spring, and prospects for a busy
season are excellent. Peterman an.
nounced today that he has a num-
Der of homes under construction.

with whom Peterman has dealt this
year, he said, and almost all Of the
houses now being built are Of the
five.room bungalow type. 90
Peterman recently started build
ing a five-room home at Piss De

He has been building homes for
five years, and has adopted as his

PLUMBING FIRM
SEES INCREASED
BUSINESS AHEAD
F. E. Trosky Makes Study
of Trend in Supply
Market.

One of the most progressive
plumbing firms Of the city is that
of +. E. Trosky, merchant plumber,
2949 Central Ave, dealer in various
lines of modern plumbing equipment.
Trosky handles a complete line of
Aladdin oil burners, Slower water
softeners, Pittsburgh heaters and
Universal refrigerators.
Studying the trend of the plumb
ing supply business has engaged
much of Trcsky's attention since he
has been in that business. Being
able to recommend a certain prod
uct as reliable, he feels, is one Of
the most basic requirements in the
plumbing trade.
During the Home Complete Show,
Trosky was busy in displaying vari-
Gus types Of plumbing supplies. AS
n result Of the show, his business
has improved materially.
Modern demands in equiping
homes have changed the plumbing
business and we are enjoying a very
satisfactory business at present,
with prospects for a greater bust
ness this year than we have ever
had" Trosky said.
The owners of homes are more
discriminating in their requirements
for plumbing equipment, he pointed
out, than they have ever been with
many new types of equipment be-
ing offered by manufacturers.
