' ."* V BERRY BEXSOX TELLS OE MARCH IX RICHMOND J (Continued from page 1, column 4.) man) crowded the streets, and the 1 windows, and the balconies, cheering on to fresh victories their ragged and t dusty soldiers. And that wasn't . show, that wasn't parade; it was a _ march; it was the real thing! The next day the Times-Dispatch had a paragraph or two to say of me and my comrade, and this is my protest published in the paper of June 29: A Yeteien's Protest. "My attention is drawn to a passage in your issue of the 23d, descrip tive of the reunion parade that hurts my feelings. I've grown some older, maybe, but my skin isn't any tougher than it was when I marched through 3 Richmond years ago. The passage 3 reads thus: " 'A touch of pathos was added by 1 the sight of an aged and bent wars rior in full field equipment, including musket, rolled blanket and canteen, _ supported along the line by a young j j woman." v "I am the soldier reterrea to, ana ^ my charming comrade of the march was Miss Emma Wilson Morriss, one of Richmond's lovely daughters and a maid of honor. } "I protest against this description, 1 'An aged and bent warrior supported by a young woman,' and I protest 1 vigorously. ? * "Pathetic, rats! Bent, fiddlesticks! Why I marched, I protest, in - this review, as straight and erect as - ever I marched the valley turnpike, behind Stonewall Jackson, one of his 5 foot cavalry, or as ever I marched inr to battle under the crimson folds > of our starry battle flag. I know . it. and my fair comrade of the march p knows it, and the photographs I send you prove it. If there is anything bent about that figure, or needing support? " 'Supported by a young woman!' That's bathos not pathos. Why, par > ma foi, 1 could have picked the slim damosel up in my arms and carried her, too, 'had there been need to. And $ I think no more now of a fifteen mile 5 tramp of a Sunday across hill and hollow, than I would of a stroll [ through your capitol grounds to play . with the sq,uirrels. A number of people along the line of march took snapshots at us, me ' and my comrade, and they all promised to send me a picture, and if they keep that promise I can send you other pictures to find, if you can, a crook ^ in my back or a sag at my knees. I think I can guess, Mr. Editor, what's ' the real matter. Your reporter, a bully good fellotf, has a sympathetic 5 heart and an eye for pathos, and he ' loves to paint with a sympathetic 1 brush, but when he elects to paint me with that color, I kick. Now, Mr. ; Editor, he has been with you a long t time?a long, long time?he has ?? -1 ^ "mir? foitYifnl cprvirp gruwu urn in juui , 'his vision is not what it once was; . reward him now generously; give 5 him a pension, and tell him when he nest reviews a Confederate parade in Richmond not to leave his spectacles at home. He will have a chance 'r to redeem himself too, for my charming comrade of the march has promised me that in the next parade in Richmond she will march with me again." 1 This protest has brought me a number of photographs and letters, of which this is one: "I have just seen youf- letter in - Times-Dispatch and I enjoyed it 'greatly. During the world war, I ' spent part of my time instructing infantry recruits, and I think I know , first-class hiking when I see it. You > can tell the world that when you - passed me near Lee's monument, you - were doing as pretty piece of hiking as ever I saw. Your step was springy, and I commented on it, and you cer. tainly were not bent or in need of ; support. If I ever wondered why s Jackson's men were called foot-cavalry (and I never have from what I y s have read of them and from what my great uncle, Henry Carter, who was with them, has told me) I could read~ j ilv have understood after seeing you. "You must not be too hard on the 1 reporter, for I confess there were times when we youngsters could not see clearly, for our eyes would dim * a little, and I reckon the reporter was in this fix when you came along. s We were not sorry for the boys of '61 - n 4. T I ana you wouiu iiul nave us tu uc, but we can't exactly help it. and I 5 reckon you understand all right. Both s of my grandfathers were in the whole 1 show, and every great uncle who - could carry a gun. from sixteen years . on, and this about applies to every-1 body in Richmond; so you see we 3 sometimes didn't know just what to 3 do between feeling proud of you who were there and sorrV for some of our own kin who were not with you. "When you come again be sure tc bring the band and the drum corps e and the pretty girls, for though I - am married, Mrs. Cole does not ob ject. "OSWALD LEE COLE, "Late major infantry, U. S. A., now - major infantry commanding third j battalion, 318th infantry." The Dearborn Independent Says: > When the city editor of a small town newspaper gets to his office at ? 7 a. m., 'he throws off his coat, rolls , up his sleeves, fills his pipe with his favorite brand of so-called tobacco, lights it, pulls a new pencil from a drawer, sharpens it and sits down. Suddenly the telephone bell rings and he picks up the receiver. The , voice of a woman on the other end of the wire indignantly wants to , know why the item regarding the ice cream and strawberry social to be given by the Ladies Hope society of the Presbyterian church wasn't in the paper the night before. It was such an important item and so many' friends of the church were looking for it. "Cancel my subscription." "You'll find the item buried on page one, fourth column, near the bottom of the page," replies the cityeditor and joshes the woman for overlooking it. His day's work has begun. He's in his element. He's 'happy. Some one, probably about the time when the earth was emerging from chaos to order, remarked that va, rietv is the spice of life. He must have had in mind the city editor of a small town daily newspaper. What variety is, he gets. No two 10-minute periods of a long working day are the same. He's the buffer between the pub. lie and the publisher. He gets blamed for all errors?typographical, i grammatical, fact; and if there's a suit for libel, he's the cause of it. ; j He's got to know his town and what j , j is more, know the people in it. He's I rrr\f f a lrr? ay*t f ait* Vt o r?o otorictinc! | lu iviiu ? viiai xowiv/c) their likes and dislikes. He's got to know what to print and how much of it, and what not to print, and sometimes it's more important to know what not to print than what to print. In the plant, he's panned by the ^ circulation department, chided by the advertising department, lambasted by the composing room and cursed | by the pressman. Even the newsboys take a kick at him. But they all love him and he loves them all. And his reporters, well, they'll fight for him. And the small town folk are proud of their town and they like to read of these plans. They like to believe that some day their town will be a big town. They're boosters, one and all, and the city editor is their mouthpiece. | And he's a booster himself, because he believes in his town and its future and because he knows his emulation. He treats local propa- , ganda as news because it is news in his town. He goes on the theory that an ice cream social in the Presbyterian church is a good thing for the church. Its members are known all over the city. They live in all the wards. Therefore, if he doesn't boost their affairs, they won't boost his paper. Courtesy and an even temper in any one are admirable; to a successful city editor they are indispensable. But there are occasions when he loses his temper, and one of these is when an alleged friend will come in during his busiest time and insist on unloading a lot of gossip for f an hour or more. Six months ago a man entered the office of a city editor of a small town newspaper and handed him a box of good cigars. "What's the idea?" asked the man of many tasks. "Oh, just a little appreciation of the help you gave us on our musicale," replied the man. It is not recorded that the city editor ever revived. He seldom gets any thanks for his free publicity. He doesn't expect them. Lands Open to Ex-Service Men. y The United States Forest Service announces that in Uta>h, 10,111 acres of land in Millard, Sevier, Juab and 'J Beaver counties, in the Salt Lake 1 City land district, are open to home- i ' stead and desert-land entry for ninety-one days beginning September 13, : 1922. by ex-service men of the World 1 War. On and after December 11, 1922, any of these lands that remain unentered, together with the unsurveved lands involved amounting to about l,SO0 acres, will be subject to general disposition, that is, to appropriation under any applicable land law by the general public. Filings may be presented within the twenty1 day period prior to that date, or from '(August 22 to September 10, 1 922, 1 inclusive. The restored areas are in scattered ! tracts, 2.02 4 acres have been desig1 ! nated under the Enlarged Homestead ' law. and it is reported that they are principally valuable for grazing pur' poses. The preference granted ex1 service men in this restoration is sub- i ' ject to prior valid settlement rights I and equitable claims.
