Ah, You Slayers'of Romance! • You Cause The
World to Deteriorate; Rob It of Sunshine and
Drag It Down io the Level of Monotonous Exist

<BY ADELAIDE KBMNBRLY.)
* Romance! Ah. romance! You are auch a beautiful thing, changing
gloom Into sunahlne (and aunahlne Into Borrow) In a flash: keeping up
the exhilarating flow of youth and aupplanting a eoft yellow glow to mld
dle-age, where only before the gray shadea were occasionally lifted, to
let' In a bright ray.
Romance! You have united soul mates and affinities: you have put
■parkle Into eyes that were dull and forlorn: you have kept hearts beat
ing at a rapid pace during a ehort life; you have put bread and meat Into .
the mouths of George Barr McCutcgeons” and "Bertha M. Clays:” you
have lifted the satirist out of his bog of sarcasm and put soul Into the
canvas under the artist's brush. . , • _
Romance—tha foundation of love and the bomb that tears Empires
asunder; the essence of happy homes and the draught that blows con
tentment out the window; mpre treacherous than electricity and quite as
effective; the blanket which covers the scales of judgment and weighs '
the world as an inconsequential thing
Timely Attacks.
Young lovers create Romanos and middle-age lovers accept It. Girls
long for It, mothers tolerate It and grandmothers smile at It. Young men
thrive on it, fathers do not understand for they ■ have forgptten, and
grandfathers only faintly remember It.
Romance blinds one for a time but leaves the vision clear, the
soul improved and the heart less hard. Romance has been the Incentive
for fortune building and It has torn those already.ampssed to a thous
and pieces and scattered the fruit of hard labor to the winds.
■World-Wide Entree.
Romance does not abide .with any-class or clan hut claims entree to
every home on earth whether mansion or hovel. In the Occident and the
Orient. It catches Its victims on islands, on the sea, In the air and on
Broadway. * • .
Romance la the spark wl(h which some people light (heir way all
' through life, yet, how sad to see so many couples (who have fostered It
an fOong the way) slay' Romance on the marriage altar.
Romance is a fantastic thing, a mystery—the Inevitable. Some
times short-lived and fragile as a morning-glory; fcometlme enduring
years of battle, winning with odds against it all the way.
Altar and Bier.
Lighting the way of love It should bloom to full maturity In mar
riage—the station which too often proves to be Its bier.
Ah, you slayers of Romance! You cause the world to deteriorate
You rob it of sunshine and drag it down to the level of monotonous
existence. Heed you .your crime and reform.

will see that openings . are left
around the flame, under the bot
tom of the glass chimney for the
purpose of.admitting the air that
rushes in below ' to replace the
heated air that Is going up and out
of the chimney.
Now, combustion, or burning,
cannot be maintained without a
continual supply of oxygen, which
combines chemically with the heat
ed gases from the oil, and the need
ed oxygen comes from the air,
about one-fifth of which consists
of pure oxygen. If the same air
Is continually exposed to the flame.’

That Is the situation when you
have lighted the lahip but have not
put on the chimney, for then
tne air from the surroundings at
mosphere does not flow In fast
enough to maintain the needed sup-*
Ply of oxygen. But the moment
the chimney Is set in place a
draught, or current, of heated air
begins to ascend through it. leav
ing room at the bottom for fresh
air to come in, loaded with oxygen,
and the fresh air will come in be
cause of the pressure to which It
Is subjected by the • surrounding
atmosphere.
Thereupon the flame brightens
and steadies because now there is
constantly enough oxygen on hand
to produce complete combustion of
the gases. The -brilliancy of the
flame is principally due to minute
particles of carbon, derived from
the oil. and heated to a bright
Incandescence. .
Chimneys are one of flte most
useful and interesting Inventions
that man has ever made. They are
of wider and more essential im
portance than anything that Edi
son. or any other great modern In
ventor. has contrived, but we do
not know who made the'first chim
ney, In a primitive form they must
be almost as old as the human race,
for a Are could not be made to

a draught to keep up the supply of
oxygen. The first chimneys may
have been natural crevices In the
walls and roofs of caverns which
were gradually improved, artificial
ly. as men perceived, without thor
oughly- understanding, how thev
acted.
Then, probably, stones were piled
together to form rude chimneys,
as a skilful camper piles them to
day to cook his food on the sea
shore. or in the forest. Indian w'tg
w-ams were turned Into very smoky
and Ineffective chimneys by mak

The Need #f Tnt Intken History.
Some years ago I held a! teacher’s
certificate, which not only save me
the privilege of teaching, but carried
the obligation to serve on a grading
committee when tegchers’ examina
tions were held in .the county.
One of these periods has always
been Indelibly stamped upon m.v mem
ory. We had for correction the pa
pers of a girl considered very bril
liant. The drat question In history
read, "Tell what you know about Dan-1
lei Boone and ‘Kit* Carson." Now, the
written answer was this, "I do not
know anything about those men: why
didn't you ask me about Xenophon
or Xerxes, .and I might have told
you.”
The chairman of the grading com
mittee threw °»t the papers for flip
pancy. I argued thgt the answer was
an openly sarcastic comment upon the
fact that she actually did know more
of the characters In ancient and me
diaeval history than of those whose
lives helped make the history of her
own land.
Stady of History.
Now, I (wonder If many of us are
not in the same position? 1 remem
! ber distinctly a period when I knew
more Xenophon and Xerxes and cer
tainly more of Knglish kings than T
cHd of the men who made America:
also could tell all about Napoleon Bo
naparte aud little- of Robert K. Lee.
In fact, my first United States hlstoiy
was crammed to stand a special ex
amination and real study of Southern
history came much later.
In the past, th^ study of history
was one of the "bogey men" of child
ish days, from the fact that they were
made to memorize an appalling list of
dates—everything took place on
such-and-such a date—which in mem
ory soon became a serleB of blurred
figures without any essential point
being Impressed.
Modern methods make history a de
light, as entertaining as the most en
trancing romance; for, indeed. Is It i
not the romanoe of the lives and deeds
of men and women of certain lands?
Method of Stody.
,We now stufly .the history of a war,
not so much as on what date It oc
curred, but why?- What were the
causes In the year’s previous which
led to it? What followed when it was
over?—cause and elTect-*-two princi
pals existing in every branch of life.
It Is in this way we must study
that period of history known as the
civil war. We must know something
of the causes preceding the firing of
that first gun at Fort Sumter, of the
lives of the men who marched to bat
tle, and of the women, who sent them
forth. We must follow the tide of
the battles fought, won. and lost up
to that heart-breaking scene called
"The Surrender"; and then through
the darkest, hardest part of all, the
"Reconstruction.” up and out Into the
sunlight of the present. Study the
effect of the sacrifice, pain, hate upon
the Southland of today.
We, Daughters, are the children and
grandchildren of those men and wom
en who made the civil war period of
history and It Is our duty to see that
It is perpetuated truthfully. I have
heard it said that "the U. D. C." are
a band of women handing down the
hate of one generation to another.”
But rather, can we say, with our Im
mortal Lee, "We do not teach our
children to hate?"
Maat Have Text Books.
We are banded to see the truth go
down In history, and what? better place
than the text-books used by the youth
of our land?—which land In the title
of a recent song, "They Made It Twice
as Nice as Paradise, Then They Called
it Dixie."
This land, "South of the I-ine,"
abounds in Vonderful history, apd our
Southern writers and teachers must
preserve it; 'tls justice demanded from
them by fathers now dead, ’tls a duty
they owe posterity. Girls and boys
today are reading of the great gener- I
alship of Hannibal. Julius Caesar, Wll- !
liam the Conquerer; and are marvel
ing over the beauty and majesty of !
the Iliad and Odyssey, and yet many j
of these boys and girls are descended '
from men whose warlike valor was
the wonder of a civilised world.
Should the legends with which our
land abounds be told them, Greek he
roes and Greek gods would be over
shadowed and forgotten in the
thought. "These were my people, my
own, kinspeople, from whom I have
inherited blood which bids me dare
and do—be strong and faithful." Tell
them 'the stories of their own coun
try; tell them the legends of this
beautiful Southland, as wonderful and
fascinating as any song of Homer.
Make them remember the march of
the pioneer through the Wilderness
into a country as lovely as the Prom
lsed l^and.
The Pioneer People.
Tell of the men and women, who, a
hundred years ago, fared forth into
the wilderness, knowing naught of that

A modern chimney, whether for
a factory, or a house, or even a
kerosene lamp, is an object lesson
in practical science. Shape, size,
proportions—all these things, and
many others, have to be carefully
calculated ami adjusted, so that a
skilful chimney maker is an in
dispensable member of society in
the scientific age, Infinitely more
admirable than a gun maker, or a
whiskey distiller. Everybody ap

_ Do- we know that It was through
Southern men that\ we gained three
fourths of the territory that now forma
the United State*? Let ua then hur
riedly trace something of what South
ern men have done In making our
country’s history, aa there are many
alna of omission aa well aa of com
mission.
This great Western Republic, aa we
know It today, was created by a shot
fired by a young Virginia' officer In
1<54—certainly George Washington, a
Virginian, is the most conspicuous
character in our hlstory--that ahot waa
fired by him at Great Meadows when
he killed the leader of the French. 1
Thomas Jefferson, another Virginian,
secured all that vast territory known
as the Louisiana Purchase from the
French.
. The battle of Bloody March. In 1742,
trailed the' Spanish flag In the dust.
The men of the “Baby! Colony," Georgia,
did thjs. To James .Oglethorpe, Noble
Jones, and two Scotch Highlander*.
Sutherland and Mackay, is due the
credit of this victory. This gave the
supremacy* to the Saxon race and made
passible the United States of America.
Alabama Secured.
Alabama and Mississippi were se
cured in 1796 by Governor James Jack
son, of Georgia.
Nicholas Trlst, of Virginia, in 1848,
and James Gadsden, of South Carolina,
through the Mexican session and Gads*?
den purchase, secured that land from
the Rockies to the Golden Gate and
opened up all the Paclilc Coast.
Then Oregon was added under a
Southern President. James K. Polk.
Why were Southern men so interest
ed In expansion? Why. that we might
secure America for Americans, which
vision materialized in the Monroe,
Doctrine.
John* C. Calhoun planned for that
wonderful possession, Texas, to be
taken from, Spanish rule.
- James Monroe arranged . for the
"Land of Flowers" to' be bought by
the I'ntted Stlktee.
Lewis and Clark, two Southern ex
plorers, gave us the Yellowstone, and
carried Christianity to the Indians of
the West.
Daniel Boone, born of . Quaker
parents in Pennsylvania, but reared In
North Carolina, waa that pioneer set
tler who blazed the trail of civiliza
tion through the moufitaln region of
the Central South.
War of 1812.
The war of 1812 was planned and
largely fought by Southern men. By
that war God preserved our Union: for.
at that time, the New England states
were planning to secede: bo a North
ern Confederacy was prevented when
peace was declared.
The neutrality law of the'land was
Inspired by George Washington and
drawn up by George Randolph, of Vir
ginia.' smd was rewritten .In time by
Madison and Is the law of the civil
ized world today: and back of this law
our president is standing at present,
and if we let him alone he can en
force that law and not bring a clash
of arms.
French history . gives to John Lau
rens, of South Carolina, not to Benja
min Franklin, the credit of negotiat
ing the French loan in the revolution.
The first American flag to float over
a war vessel, John Paul Jones, of Vir
ginia, hoisted over the Ranger in
1812.
Stephen Decatur, of Maryland, re
turned with the first prize captured
from the French. Benjamin Stoddard,
of Maryland, was first secretary of the
navy.
First saomuiK.
The first successful submarine was
the Little ' David, used . In Charleston
Harbor in 1864.
The first armored cruiser was the
Virginia, converted from the raised
Merrimac.
The Shenandoah carried the Confed
erate flag around the world and fired
the last shot of the civil war.
We do not know much of our South
ern navv; so SchrafTs history of the
Confederate States navy should be In
every school and library. ■
Christopher Carson, popularly known
as ••Kit" Carson, who guided General
Freemont in his explorations, also help
ed bring about many treaties with the
Indians, was a brigadier-general at the
close of the civil war.

of the romances of Southern history;
as one might suppose that Paul Revere
was the only hero of revolutionary
times, or that Molly Pitcher was the
only woman who performed any heroic
deed in time of war.
The Isllss Legeads.
Also what of Indian legends and his
tory of the South? Of this we know
too little, yet nowhere are legends or
names more^ entrancing. We b.v*

have seen for, the flrst time the flag
of the Confederacy unfurled and-with
full right fo be thus flung Joyously
to the breese. •
As ’’Dixie's’’ strains shrilled loud
and dear and the south wind flut-,
tered and lifted the untarnished
brightness of the flag’s gay colors,
was not the present gone from our
thoughts and did not something of
what thd old days meant to our fath
ers con\e to us and bring tear-wet eyes
and aching throats? Can you not pic
ture even yet scene of the' oasualty
list?—the eager, hopeful scanning of
the' names thereon: then the awful
certainty—the name of the .brilliant
younger son!
Can you not see the pride with
which the father receives the dread
news, because his boy has died gal
lantly. while the mother sits apart,
and "within her heart she rocks a
dead child, crying. ’My son, my little
son’?" As we watched on, and the
geart picture unrolled Its wonderful
scenes before us, did not the full
meaning of those days come to US In
a compelling pageant of serenity and
loveliness and of noble living, of he
roism and pain and humiliation, and
of returning hope and faith and hap
piness that baffles words to describe?
i The Ku Kins Klaa.
In reypect to the riding of the Ku
Kluk in vast numbers and killing of
a Ku Klux by a negro, the represen
tation Is misleading; as the former
was not done and the negro’ super
stitious' fear of being haunted by Ku
Klux spirit prevented‘the latter: but
this is a minor criticism to be made
of so immense an effort. I am afraid
the youth of the present day, espe
cially ' the male youth, do not have
the correct conception of the organ
izing and urgent necessity of the Ku
Klux and what it meant to the women
of the South during that period of
humiliation, horror and woe. So, I

The South may claim, with pardon
able pride, that It furnished not only
the President of each of the 4ivlded
sections In the struggle for the es
tablishment of separate Confederacy,
but the great central figure of the
civil war for the North as well as for
the South—history will accord that
Abraham Lincoln was the one con
spicuous figure on the aide cf the
Union: and. for the South, none will
challenge that claim for Lee. They
were, moreover, representative of the
widely divergent classes of our sec
tion, the plebian and the patrician, one
from the simple poor of Kentucky, the
other from the cavaliers of Vir
ginia.

• Every Past a Heritage.
Surely the past has given us an her
itage: the present,’.becoming the past,
will leave another heritage; whatever
that beqaest is to be depends upon
the, Intelligence and integrity of Its
citlsens:. as the youth of today are
the men and women of tomorrow, so
to them is now due a true record of
the past, that they may learn from
the deeds of their forefathers that a
country’s greatness consists chiefly In
those who make its citlsens.
At the present crisis in the world's
history, God lias blessed again, not
only the South, but our country. In
placing at the helm of the ship of
state Woodrow Wilson, a Virginia
gentleman and statesman, to steer us
safely through a troublous sea so our
barque may not be engulfed by the
dreadful carnage deluging European
civilization. Because he knows life
must always bear the scar of war, and
that humanity should not forget its
blunders, lie has held we should not
go on making them.
Still Making History.
In the recent national election, again
the South made history. Sectionalism
at last is dead: the South has come
into that for which she entered the
depths of woe. To quote from a
speech of one of our Southern Sena
tors, ‘‘The time has come in this his
tory of our Southland that, shbuld the
invading foe set foot on our coun
try's soil, the same fort that fired that
first shot in our great civil war would
blaze forth again in detense' of the
flag—or rather, this would the neigh
boring fort do; for Sumter, like sec
tionalism, is obsolete.”
Now, ‘we must open our eyes, un
stop our ears, and loosen our tongueA,
see the beauties and possibilities In our
"aln countree,” hear the rush of the.
wonderful future, look forward and
l work together that we might make a
Greater Nation through a Greater
South, and say,
“By all the thousand beauties of her
sky.
And the sweet solace of her forest
shade,
She’s mine—she’s ever mine,
Nor will I ever aught Vesign,
Of what she gives me mortal or di
vine.”
