Young, Oommjkn- der of Confederate Veterans, Makes Great Address on First Day, of Cel ebration to Veterans Who Stand and Listen in Broiling Sun. Despite the strenuous efforts of the regular army to do impossible things, thousands of veterans spent the night on Gettyt-Vurg field with nothing .be tween them and the starts but heir clohes and their courage and nothing between them and the hard earth but a little more of the same thing. They kept coming from tbftt hour until long after daybreak and shortly after breakfast the rush began again. Major Mormoyle declared that prob ably 55,000 veterans will be on the field by night, 5.OHO more than ever have been looked for in the wildest dreams of the estimators. Although half that number would fill the camp in comfortable fashion, Major Nor- moyle said he would see that every one was taken care of, that nobod} went hungry and that blankeis to warm and tents to protect were found for all.

To the Editor of The Timet and Democrat: It must be agreed that the priv ilege of voting shbllld be granted to the men who aYe loth latalHgent and honest-minded, and that it should be denied, if possible, to both the helplessly ignorant and the vicious. But what standard can be prescribed that will make this line of division? Intelligence ia usually tested by ability to read and write—the “lit eracy’’ standard or “illiteracy” bar. This is not altogether accurate end just. It is only a rough sort of way of measuring a man’s intelligence. It is the method resorted to for want of a better. Yet no single standard (ontside of the classification by race or foundation stock) comes so near marking the line of cleavage between those who may be trusted with public affairs and those who may not. The man who can read has a tre mendous advantage over him to whom every book is closed. The reader has a chance to be better in formed, to have a wider view of things, with less prejudice on narrow lines. Hence, oolyx ithst&ndlng Lhe differences of individual natural tal en\ the reader is likely to be more intelligent, and with this better knowledge he should have better per ceptions of right *nd duty, and a Bteadief ordering of hi* acllons by worthy M'nndsrda The reader inlana* to ths modwra world, and ha* the •dvantsjre* of the tnortrm improwsd marhtpery for ar duTr’ng Information and obtilnlng i .arger and truer outlook on life and Wl) Ths lUUafalw Ua/ks UacA to uiwd 1 ie > a I day*, aad Issrua *l**l only »■ fir»t hand through only hi* own •-xr« an 1 Ms own ear* Me !• at a* #rra • a dtss*! < tntwa* in ths world of knowiedgs aa ths traveler is in tb* Hivaicsl wo r id w bo woo'd dsn y bl m •sif ths o*s <>f ths ag*-sciws of sbsww • fli e.e-tfirl'i The ’rluBiph of mod err. civil lation ,c ar. n: h . iwt ing tla< an 1 apses and br.ogtng all tbe sorU together under th* reader • ejs #*ery raornlng before brsakftat or tslre r once a Seek '0 the paper ds'lver-d b* the rural r*»rier at th* mos' rs more log cabin in the «<w>d* I* haf *e 1 bv the man that e%a nor r*ad • al stt’l tag* no tbs ***** sf tats a** * urtd Th- tavsat os o4 prts’isg k ah lag It p*>«slb * that 'wad ag ah sld Us «•* geaera mads a *** bsctaalni n U.s sond • progrwss T'.e Bar '.tat an aol rwad aws *h>»stj Us 4 ur.ou* relic.
