SOLDIERS OF
THE CIVIL WAR
MOVEMENT TO BRING ALL TO
QETHER, THE VETERANB OF
THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
LOVE DEMONSTRATION
EXPECT THAT PRpTEST AGAINST
ROBERT E. LEE’S BTATUE
WILL BE DROPPED.
Atlantic City, N. J. —The bond of
eentiment that has welded together
the hearts of the North and the South
was never more In evidence than to
day, at the formal opening of the for*
ty-fourth national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. It Is
probable that there may never be an
other encampment held by the G.A.R.
The movement to bring together all
the survivors of the Civil War has
grown wonderfully. The idea advo
cated here at the twenty-fourth annual
reunion and campfire of the Philadel
phia brigade, Second division. Second
army corps, by H. A. Herbert, one
time secretary of the navy in the
Cleveland administration, took a firm
grip upon the thousands of veterans.
Cheers greeted Samuel R. VanSant,
one time governor of Minnesota, who
declared himself in favor of the Idea.
General Daniel E. Sickles also favored
the plan for the big reunion, and de
clared he would give the matter his
earnest support. But that was but an
incident in the many. Two great dem
onstrations of patriotism and love
drew together thousands of survivors.
Here and there a little party of men
in gray uniforms discussed favorably
the project of union meeting in the fu
ture.
Many expect that the protest
against the erection of the statue of
General Robert E. Dee in the rotunda
of the Capitol will be dropped entirely,
and a movement begun for a monster
monument to be erected by the peo
ple of the county and dedicated, not
to the heroes of the North, or brave
men of the South, but rather to the
men who sacrificed their all for tho
cause that they thought was right.
Greeley Man Killed.
Greeley, Colo. —Hurrying to Fire
stone with Deputy Sheriffs Peterson
and Fraiser, Elmer Rust, driver of D.
A. Camfield’s automobile, which in an
emergency had been pressed into serv
ice, was hurled to instant death Sun
day morning when his car skidded and
turned turtle in crossing the Union Pa
cific railroad, nine miles southwest
of here, in the Godfrey bottoms. Sher
iffs Peterson and Fraiser were pinned
beneath the tonneau of the car and
escaped with bad cuts and bruises,
while Merton Gross, who occupied the
front seat with Rust, was thrown com
pletely over the car into a barb wire
fence, escaping with slight scratches.
Girl Admits Murder.
Arkansas City, Kan. —Ebby Shep
pard, the 16-year-old daughter of J. W.
Sheppard, who, with his brother, Tay
lor Sheppard, was murdered at their
home in Newkirk, Okla., Friday morn
ing, confessed to County Attorney
Burns and Sheriff Rader that she
killed the two men. In her confes
sion she declares the cause of the
crime was that the men whipped her.
She went to the woodshed and se
cured the ax, with which the crime
was committed, and gave it to the of
ficers. The girl has always been con
sidered feeble-minded.
Through the Whirlpool Rapids.
Niagara Falls, N. Y. —Capt. Klaus
Larsen, in his little motor boat, the
Ferro, Sunday made a successful trip
from the foot of the cataract through
the whirlpool rapids to within a mile
of Lewißton, a distance of four and
one-half miles. He started from the
Maid of the Mist dock and ran on a
rock near the American shore. De
spite the battering of the whirlpool
rapids, Larsen went through safely,
but his boat was leaking badly at the
finish and through the trip.
May Be Fatally Hurt.
Great Falls, Mont. —Wm. H. Lemp
ke and B. Miller were probably fatally
hurt Sunday when a forty-horsepower
automobile they w r ere driving went
through a fence at the racetrack and
was wrecked. The men were testing
out the car in preparation for the au
to mobile races at the fair here Mon
day.
Big Oil Strike Made.
Montrose, Colo. —Another big strike
of oil is reported from the San Juan-
Utah oil fields, where local men have
several wells.
Miners' Strike Settled.
Kansas City.—At a meeting which
ended Sunday night the representa
tives of the miners in the southwest
ern field ratified the agreement made
with the operators and will resume
work next Tuesday. The contract as
It now stands Is Bald to be a victory
for the miners.
COUNTRY ALL RIGHT
A BTRIKINGLY BTRONG ARTICLE
BY COL.'HARVEY.
THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
\
“A Plea for the Conservation of
Common Sense” That Is Meeting
With Cordial Approval.
A strikingly strong article by Colo
nel George Harvey in the North
American Review, for September, is
written in a view of such hopeful
ness for the American future that it
has attracted wide attention. The
article is entitled, "A Plea for the
Conservation of Common Sense” and
it is meeting with the cordial ap
proval of business men of all shades
of political opinion throughout the en
tire country. In part Colonel Harvey
says:
“Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. But, if it be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country is sound, must we
necessarily succumb to despondency,
abandon effort looking to retrieval
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find the root of the dis
tress, which even now existß only in
men’s minds, and then, after the
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
“The Link that connects labor with
capital is not broken but we may not
deny that it is less cohesive than It
should be or than conditions war
rant. Financially, the country is
stronger than ever before in its his
tory. Recovery from a panic so
severe as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compara
tively complete. The masses arc
practically free from debt. Money is
held by the banks In abundance and
rates are low.
“Why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of Investment?
The answer, we believe, to be plain.
It awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. • * • The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against extortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
“The solution is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the situ
ation is without precedent. But Is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines? • • *
Conserve Common Sense.
"Is not the present, as we have
seen, exceptionally secure? What,
then, of preparations for the future?
Patriotism is the basis of our insti
tutions. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring. It
is taught In our schools. A new.
course has been added —a course In
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between qualifica
tions of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as well as serve. They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed, which they are
made to know by heart, is not com
plex. It is simple, but comprehen
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
lofty in aspiration. These • are the
pledges which are graven upon their
memories:
“As it Is cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle, so it is coward
ly fbr any citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of bis
country. America is my own dear
land; she nourishes me, and I will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
I am.
“As the health and happiness of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop of blood doing
its work in its place, so the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place.
"These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can we not
safely assume that the principles ani
mating their llveß augur well for the
permanency of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise of durability?
"The future, then, is bright. And
the present? But one thing is need
ful. No present movement is more
laudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let us never forget that the great
est Inherent resource of the Amer
ican people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied with
out cessation, and soon it will be
found that all the ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of a great and blessed country.
Spiritualization.
Religion should be native. It
should be concrete apd applicable.
Religion is the natural expression of
living, not a set of actions or of hab
its, or a posture of the mind added to
the daily life. The type of religion,
.herefore, is conditioned on the kind
of living, and the kind of living Is
conditioned, in its turn, very large
ly on the physical and economic ef
fectiveness of llge. The religion of
the open country should run deep into
the indigenous affairs of the open
country.
