BY CHARLES II. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, July 9.-The welkin is
still echoing and re-echoing to sounds
of the last reunion of the Blue and
the Gray at Gettysburg, Pa.
All right. It was very inspiring,
pathetic, patriotic, historic occasion.
Nevertheless, military men, some
what sub rosa (for none of them
wished to be suspected of an inclina-
ton to throw cold water on the af-
fair), persistently have asked all
along:
"Why Gettysburg in PARTICULAR"
Real Turning Point.
It is agreed that Gettysburg was a
big, bloody, dreadful battle, but SO
professional soldiers remark, was
Antietam.
The former, War Department stra-
tegists argue, was no more a turn
ing point than the latter in the con-
flict between the states. The real
turning point, according to experts
was Grants success at Vicksburg.
Iicksburg, however, is comparatively
little advertised.
Why Gettysburg for SO great q

splurge, rather than Vicksburg or
even Antietam?
Gettysburg Fame.
The answer is easy enough.
What publicized Gettysburg was
Lincoln's speech there-a speech that
was unrecognized at the time. Nobody
ever made a speech of any conse-
uuence at Vicksburg or Antietam.
And no northerner, anyway, ever
thought of making a speech at Bull
Run.
Paul Revere's Ride.
1t is something like Paul Revere's
ride.
PauPs ride had precious little to do
with the outcome of the American
Revolution, but it has gone done in
history as about that era's most inn
portant event, because of Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow's poetical re-
cord of it.
For that matter, the battle of
Bunker Hill was not fought on Bun
ker Hill; it was fought on Breeds
hill-nearby, but not on Bunker. Jour-
nalism of the time erred by a sub
stantial fraction of mile. Records

Speaks At
BarMeet

Rocky Mount, July 9 (AP)-Speak-
ing before lawyers of the second dis
trict judicial district in session here
today, two State-prominent leaders OF
the bar described publicity and stream
lining court procedure as two badly
needed remedies.
Frank Winslow, of Rocky Mount,
recently retired president of the
North Carolina Bar Association, eX-
planned the new rules of procedure
in Federal court, and suggested that
to reform the procedure in North
Carolina courts, the rule-making au-
thority should be transferred from the
State legislature to the State Supreme
Court.
Bennett H. Perry, of Henderson,
member of both the council and the
public relations committee of the
North Carolina Bar Association, de-
clared that bar associations ought to
indulge in advertising for the sake
Of lawyers as a matter of public
welfare" Advertising, now prohibit
ed on pain of disbarment, would have
the effect, Perry said, of removing
popular misconceptions about legal
practice and would enable competent
lawyers to meet the competition Of
individuals and corporations "of no
training and no ethics"
Officers were to be elected later in
the dav.
