Upon my pages clean.
do not like soiled finger prints,
So kindly take these gentle hints,
And when ink spots are seen
I'm apt to get into rage.
And If you hap to tear page
1t pains me through and through;
like to be spick-span and write
And crispy fresh-it's my delight
Oh yes, indeed, do"
A child VINO tears and rudely spoils
A pleasant book or smears or soils
It's cover or a leaf
Without thought, is far from nice
And If you VIII take my advice
1t Is my firm belief
That every single story book
Will turn into glory book
Before your very eyes.
If you but treat it the right way
Twill give you JOY for every day
And many a glad surprise.

Justice After "a Years


L the Civil war had been fought and
again the Union forces had been de
feated The news stunned the North,
especially since the name Bull Run"
was one which ranked in it's mind aft
er the igno1ninious affair of July FL,
1861. Rumors of disoyalty and of
sympathy with the Southern cause
among certain officers in the Union
army had been frequent before the
battle, and after it was all over the
public wanted scapegOat.
Gen. John Pope. commander Of the
Union forces, who had been "out-
smarted" by Stonewall Jackson and
who had fought battle of plumbers,
was ready to furnish such scape-
goat. He had given Maj. Gen. Fitz-
John Porter certain orders which, as
the battle developed, were impossible
to obey minutely. So in his report
Pope shouldered the blame for the de-
feat off on to Porter
VI to this time Porter's record had
been brilliant one. But it could
not save him from being made the vic
tim of the second defeat at Manassas.
In November, 1862, he was court.
martialed at Washington and In
trial the result of which was fore
gone conclusion, was found guilty Of
the charges. disobedience to orders
and cowardice in the face of the en-
envy, Considered and forever disqual-
flied from holding any Office of trust
or profit under the government"
But Porter had proved himself
fighting man on the battlefield and
fighting man he intended to continue
being For years he made repeated
efforts to have his case reopened but
his appeals fell upon deaf ears. Grant,
white President, refused to intercede
and it was not until access was had
to the Confederate records of the BAT
tle that new light was thrown upon
the case.
A military board under President
Hayes acquitted Porter of all fault ex-
cent unwise criticism of his superior.
In Nav. 1882. President Arthur remit
ted the sentence but vetoed bill pro-
viding for the payment of back salary.
Finally in 1886 bill was passed by
congress and signed by President
Cleveland making Porter colonel Of
infantry in the regular army, to rank
from Nav IA, 1861. and placing him
on the retired list. After holding va
rious civil offices in New York, Por-
ter died in May. 1901 and for brief
moment America recalled the hero Of
24-year fight for Justice.

HEROES
BY
ELMO SCOTT WATSON
The Perils of Peace

~
THE end of war does not always
mean the coming of peace. That
fact was all too strongly impressed
upon the mind of Col. Robert e. With
ers of the Confederate army In April,
1865. He was commander of the mil
itary prison at Danvi4e, Va, where
were held more than 5000 Union pris-
oners, guarded only by disabled Con-
federates and men too old and boys
too young to serve in the field. The
colonel himself had been wounded
many times and was still partly dis
abled from the last injury.
All through the last winter Of the.
Civil war the specter of famine had
been ever-present in Danville-famine
for the captives, their guards and the
townspeople. Then came the news
that Richmond had surrendered and
short time later President Davis
and his cabinet passed through the
city-the days Of the Confederacy
were numbered Came next q detach-
ment of Confederate cavalrymen who
Informed the colonel that they had
orders to burn the bridges across the
river and all the tobacco warehouses
In Danville. Withers protested. 1t
would mean a conflagration which
would destroy the town, and since the
Confederacy had collapsed in Virginia
there was no military advantage to
such ruin. Finding his protests I'M
availing, Colonel Withers declared that
he would resist such destruction with
armed force and his stand saved the
bridges and the warehouses.
The next crisis came after the sur
render at Appamattox. A large body
of paroled soldiers from Lees army
arrived in Danville. Hungry and in
rags. they became excited at the ru-
NOR that the warehouses contained
the very things they needed and they
were urged on by people from the sur
rounding country who hoped to share
in the loot. No sooner had he broken
up the rapidly-gathering mob than
some Federal "bummers" appeared.
Should they enter, it was likely
they would release the Federal pris-
oners who were clamoring for their
freedom and whose temper was an
uncertain quantity after the priva-
tons they had endured. If they got
out of hand, Danville would be in the
power of mob whose excuses would
know no limits. So when the trains
bearing the "bummers' rolled into
town it was met by d group of armed
men whose determined attitude, even
though their number was small, soon
overawed these human vultures and
sent them on their way.
The next day the advance guard of
the Federal troops appeared and Col
onel Withers was happy to turn over
to the Union commander the RESPONSE
bility for keeping order after the pris-
cners were released. So Danville re-
members the name of Robert e. With
ers whose determination and courage
saved it from the perils of peace which
were greater than the perils of war.

Judiciary A committee in the
senate, was chairman of the survey
committee.
The bill provides a basic tax on
individual net incomes of 1 per
cent on the first $4,000. Single per-
sons would be given $40 tax ex-
emption and married persons $40,
with So for each dependent.
Per cent increases would be made
as follows: Two per cent on in
comes Of more than $4,000; g per
cent over $4,000, and 4 per cent
over $4,000.
Single persons making $1,000 or
less would not have to pay any
state income tax, nor would mar
ried persons making $4,000 or less.
Another proposed bill provides for
a fiat tax of per cent on the net
incomes of corporations.
