The history of the memorial was
given by Mrs. Jonn uwooaoury,vaostrIecte Lucnie Wenman. Mar
to was greeted with hearty applause, cftre(. TlBrnev. Elizabeth Tierney.
Mrs.
Woodbury, wnois tne oaugy-1
for nt ihn Into Col. Thomas D. OS
borne, is a pleasing speaker and
was given close attention. Definite
plans for the memorial, she eald,
were started in the office of Gen.
W. B. Haldeman three years ago,
but were delayed on account of the
war. In concluding, Mrs. Woodbury
unfurled a small Confederate ban
ner as "tho flag that Father Ryan
loved so woll and made so famous."
At this point the tablet was un
veiled to the assembled multitude
by little Miss Cllnes, and the recep
tion given It was most gratifying to
ihn9P who had been active In its
erection, especially Mrs. Woodbury,

Gen. William B. Haldeman was
introduced by Major Leathers as
the commander of Kentucky's fa

representing the veterans of tho
Confederacy.

man, "to erect this memorial to thoi
memory of the man oi uou wnu
ministered to ithe wounded upon a
hundred Confederate battlefields, but
his memory needs no tablet of
bronze to keep it living. It la en
graven upon the hearts of all who
know him." He paid a tribute to
Father Ryan 'by expressing the in
fluence which the poet-priest had
over the Confederate army and the
enthusiasm which he,had kindled in
their hearts with his war poetry.
Gen. Haldeman said that Jn his
opinion Father Ryan's two greatest
.poems are "The Sword of Lee" and
"The Conquered Banner."
"The Poet-Priest of the South"
waa'lhe subject of the final address,
given by Judge Matthew O'Doherty.
"Two States dispute the honor of
owning the birthplace of Father
nv.in." said the sneaker. "They are
Virginia and Maryland. I think pos
sibly ho was born in Ireland, but
that does not alter the fact that he

ly Catholic priest plurallzed his

man of valor, as well as the minis
tering helper to the wounded and
dying on the field of battle."
Thp first half of his speech -was a
tribute to Father Ryan who, during
the civil war, devoted his energies
to the Confederate cause and, after
the war, exercised Ms Influence la
healing the Tupture between tho
North and South. In championing
the cause of tho South, the speaker
said that Father Ryan never allowed
hate to control people under his In
fluence. "Hate had no place either
In hlB patriotism or religion," said
Judge O'Doherty. He emphasized
Father Ryan's law-abiding nature
and closed by quoting the joet
prlest's stanza on the flag which he
championed.

the conception of tho moral law."
He denounced those who would
seize the reins of government to
correct supposed evils without con
cerning themeselves of tho Tights of
the whole people. He exclaimed
that "there should be no iplaco In
our country for tho I. W. W. or Bol

may bo the government. Ours Is a
government of law, not of force,"
said Judge O'Doherty. "and anyone
who would change It to a 'law of

treated as such."
