I For There Was Ther wu a time fifty year ago when the" streets of Richmond were decorated but not as today. There were nights when there were "illu minstions." Patient men and women cut strips of red, white and blue tissue paper and pasted them In the windows on Main stret with can dles behind them to light them up by night that they might show their patriotism when things looked dark for the republic. And there were other nights like that when the few men and boys who wer left tore down the wooden awnings that leaned languidly all the way up Main street against the stores over the sidewalks. Then the flames mounted high proclaiming Union victory. Then at last there came those other days when every morning little girls leaned over the picket fences In front of the bouses looking for that strange person whom they could not quite remember ever to have seen "father." Some times the lights burned In the windows until the morn ingand there were some who did not come back from that terrible con flict. " It was a boys' war. Youngsters, unwitting of the dreadful privations went gaily out to war as on a frolic. Those who first had their uniforms let no opportunity go by to be unnoticed by the girls. But soon It took on a more serious aspect and boys went into the war not for a lark but hecause there were none others left to go. The ideals of a whole nation, the boys with their splendid idealism and the devotion of their mothers won the real victories of the struggle at Gettysburg and in the sharpnel that swept across the crater before Petersburg nnd In those hell-pits of Libby and Andersonville. Of this little but a confused jumble remains in most people's minds. A generation, too busy with its own affairs and scarcely knowing its own dangers has not had the trying proof put to it that those of the Sixties knew. And what the scanty pases of ill-written school histories tell has most ly been passed over. Even the idea of the G. A. R. has somehow become fixed in many peo ple's minds with Memorial Day of old men with bronze buttons in their coat lapels of half holidays when children bring flowers gathered in the hasty run to school. To many people this all seems unreal. The other . times when this unreal phat tasm of the Civil war occurs is at po litical meetings when the speaker of the evening finds it convenient to , talk of the flag the "boys in blue" and the heroes of the Civil war. Nor ba this helped to give to the men and boys who fought the good fight a ' proper setting. ,. It is perhaps inconceivable to rr.ost people to realize that at one time after stirring campaigns of political parties in which feeling ran so high that men fought each other with bare fists not from drunkenness but from sheer conviction. What If this evening's papers bore the news that whole states had risen up In arms and declared that hence forward they would form a separate country? Suppose that business demanded on the one hand that men should be enslaved and that free men on the other denounced the 'traffic in hu man lives as unholy? A community like this would respond very much as it did in those days. Young men would leave for the front at the call to arms. They would go out a-skylarking with their colors with smiles on their faces. There is another struggle in America today. Perhaps it will never be settled as was the Civil war for it is no war between the states. And yet , the same force of human rights is appealing to the men of America in as vital a fashion as the men of the Forties and Fifties felt before the final struggle which began with the firing on Sumter. Those who were Tories in the Revolution; those who 'were Copper heads and Butter-nuts in the Civil war all have their counterparts in the men who are now arrayed against the rights of human liberty and the government of this republic. The same principles which animated the founders of the Republican party are at work rejuvenating conditions. The struggle is not yet so manifest, so open, so full of feeling as in those days before the first crisis in the history of the republic. But those who are the guests of the county that gave Morton to the Civil war who was as Lincoln called him "the other President," can feel we hope in the warmth of the welcome given them that their lives have not been offered in vain to save this country to those who follow after and that they who fought for the preservation of this republic and the princi ple of human freedom have furnished an example which will not be for gotten. Buncombe can' be cloaked for a while longer, perhaps, by those unscrupulous and clever political orators who defend corporation lobbying for American enslavement under the name of those who fought and died for truly patriotic love for their country; perhaps it will not always be so. And then when the county Is in its desperate straits longing for true statesmen of unquestioned honesty may we have a simple, guileless, fearless Lincoln and as many true Americans to meet the crisis whatever It may be. For there was a time MEET TO CONSIDER NEW PRIMARY LAW (American News Service) Charleston, W. Va.May 17. Mem bers of the West Virginia legislature convened in special session toady to consider a primary election law and proposed amendments to the corrupt practices act, so as to prohibit bribery and fraud at primaries and political conventions of all kinds as well as el ections. The primary election law is the all important matter to be con sidered. Gov. Glasscock proposes a state-wide primary for the nomination of all elective officials from United States senator down. Including the members of party executive commit tees. The governor has the support of the progressive sentiment, but as many Influential leaders of both par ties aro opposed to a sweeping state wide primary law it is difficult to fore tell in just what shape the measure will pass.

Captain Al bert Boley, postmaster of the Soldiers Home, who circulated the petition at the Soldiers' Home for the naming of the two new boulevards from Marion to the Home in memory of Oliver P. Morton and Abraham Lincoln, expres es himself on the subject of "A Penn sylvania Soldier's Opinion of Oliver P. Morton." Captain Boley was a mem ber of the Sixty-third Pennsylvania regiment during the Civil War. He says: "During the days of 61 in that gi gantic struggle for all that was dear to the heart of every lover of this country and for the honor of the, flag many men unknown outside the bor ders of their own state before won im mortal renown. And no name became more familiar for dauntless courage, wise statesmanship, and exalted pa triotic devotion to his country, Its flag and defenders than did that of Oliver P. Morton, the great war gover nor of the state of Indiana. While oth ers were trying by subterfuge and compromise to secure peace at any price Morton had the courage of his convictions and declared them boldly, In his campaign for lieutenant govern or of Indiana In I860 he said: 'I am op posed to secession as a principle of government. What would be our con dition of Indiana, an inland state, our citizens going to and fro, beyond our borders would require passports duly vised to pass thruugh perhaps un friendly or hostile nations, our re sources would remain . undeveloped, and our condition would be deplorable. I am in favor of preserving the union by the ballot if we can. If not then by bayonets.' This was an open chal lenge to mortal combat. Wben the president suddenly called on Morton for troops in five hours he had a bat tery of artillery and more than the number of troops required on their way to the front. After every battle in which Indiana troops were engaged he hastened to the front, to the field hospital carrying messages and gifts from loved ones at home, consoling the sodely wounded, responding to the cheers and waving of hands by those too weak to otherwise manifest their joy, shaking hands with the men as they crowded around him and com mending their gallant deeds like brave sons and a loving hearted father. If rations, or hospital supplies were short Morton soon started the machinery that brought abundance. Of the med ical department he required that all In diana soldiers sick or wounded be transported north, or sent to hospitals nearest their homes. If a young sol dier's life could be saved by sending him home he demanded transporta tion for him and saw him aboard the transport. Only the other day a com rade told me be owed his life to Mor ton who had him sent home from the field hospitals where he would have died. Think of the wild enthusiasm, and lofty courage this would inspire in the young soldier in the field is it any wonder that better troops never trod the earth?

Brown, who led his men until he fell mortally wounded at the second battle of Bull Run. He was one of those command ers who said, 'come on boys, not 'go on.' "We had other great war governors. like Curtin of Pennsylvania, Andrews, of Massachusetts, Brown of Ohio, Yates of Illinois, but not to my know ledge did any one but Morton make it a part of the executive duties to visit the hospitals in the vicinity of the bat tle fields.

He was proud of the boys and they would have died for him. It It any wonder that- the greatest and most typical monument to the rank and file of the army ever erected by any nation was erected at Indianapolis, the home city of the great war governor? Had the assassination of Lincoln taken place at an earlier date Morton was the one man who could have effectively accom plished the work required. Aa United States senator he presented his view on the resumption of specie payment and with a few Blight modifications his plan was adopted and we resumed the payment of specie. "Lincoln is the only man with whom Morton can be fitly compared. He was his close friend and wise counsellor. Oliver P. Morton s name will ever be an inspiration to great deeds, exalted aspirations with all lovers of their country and its institutions. His name will grow more illustrious as time rolls by, and his memory will be cher ished as one of the heroic men devel oped under our institutions during a great national crisis." r s JK alhjrocers Bp RINGS . . .$5.00 to $50.00 .$7.00 to $75.00 .$1.50 to $50.00 ........... 60c Each Buttons, Lockets, Necklaces 726 Main St. Sale .
