Los Angeles, Cal., May 2G.—In this
eeruiou, appropriate to the time, the
old, tender theme of a nation's sorrow
and how It was healed receives new
treatment, and the lesson Is learned of
a great people united In the bonds of a
common patriotic brotherhood. The
text is Isaiah xliil, 6, “I will say to the
north, Give up, and to the south, Keep
not back.”
I sometimes think we make a mis
take when we think of the civil war as
f ending at Appomattox. The wounds
were too fresh then on both sides. We
know that the war Is ended now, and I
think the beginning of the end dated
abont twenty years ago. The begin
ning of the end came in a letter which

recognize each other's honesty. It Is
almost impossible for a man who Is
fighting to believe that his opponent,
whose doubled fist is pummellng and
beating him, has an honest heart or a
straight hair In Ills head. But after
the battle Is over, after time has cooled
the blood, after onr adversary may
have been laid away In bis silent grave,
then we are able to look at our past
actions and those of our enemies as
; through another’s eyes. Then we see
that both of us may have been honest
In our ideas, but both or one of us may
have been mistaken in our judgment.
If those southerners were not honest

forwarded to the war department for safe
keeping, together with a number of Con
federate flags, which the fortunes of war
placed in onr hards during the late civil
war. Wiiile in the past favorable action has
alwaysubeen taken on applications, proper
ly supported, for the return of the Union
flags to organizations representing surviv
ors of tlie military service of the govern

graceful act to anticipate future requests
of this nature and venture to suggest the
propriety of returning all the flags (Union
ami Confederate) to the authorities of tho
respective states in which the regiments
which love those colors were organized.
While in a!l civilized nations of the old
world trophies taken in wars against for

tlie nation's military glories, wise and ob

Wheeler fought under the stars and

with the northerners for the develop

not find any difference In these men’s
patriotism by the place of their birth.
Like a Bugle Call.
I was very much struck with this
fact when my mind ran over the names
prominent In our national legislative
halls thirty years ago. A great army
of statesmen had entered Washington
from our southern states. Nearly all
of these men had worn the Confederate
gray or been prominent in Richmond.
There were Alexander Stephens and
Lamar and Harris and Gordon and
Pugh and Morgan and Wade Hampton
and Zebulon Vance and F. M. Cock
rell and M. C. Butler and Berry and
a great number of others too numer
ous to mention. My, what a list there
was! When we read their names It
seems as though we hear the bugle
call and the rattling of arms and the
yelling of the cavalry charge. When we
look into the United States senate of
thirty years ago It seems as though the
field officers of a great Confederate
army had been collected for a council
of war. But, though those southern
statesmen assembled In Washington,
they were not assembled for a council
of war, but for a council of peace.
Those ex-Confederate soldiers were
planning and contriving for the pros
perity of the whole United States and
not for a part. They were working
band and glove with their northern
colleagnes for the success of our re
united land. And, though the north,
as a whole, in the early seventies did
not have confidence In the loyalty of
the new south, the northern statesmen
emy and charge.” On and on went the
line. Under the withering fire of the
enemy the northern regiment broke
and retreated. But the color bearer of
that regiment, Thomas Higgins by
name, was fleeter footed than the rest
He carried high the tlag in the charge
and moved straight on. He did not
know that his companions bad turned
back. He kept his face toward the en
emy. And there he was, one northern
soldier, with the old flag flying high
over Ills head, charging alone a thou
sand men In gray. Then there rose the
cry from the Confederate ranks: “Don’t
shoot him! Let the hero live! Don’t
shoot!” And so Thomas Higgins, the
color bearer, carrying the old flag of
the Union, moved on until at last the
Confederate soldiers opened their ranks
and swallowed him up and theu sent
him back again a free man.
If the brave soldiers of old could be
so merciful to each other, can we not
be Just as forgiving today? The north
erners have given back to the southern
states tlie Confederate flags. By that
symbol we say, “The war of 1801 lias
forever passed away.” But today let
us enter into another compact. Let the
south today bring out her old tattered
flags. Let the northern soldiers bring
out today again their old tattered flags.
And let the ragged folds of these old
banners be wrapped about each other
as north and south clasp hands and
say: “We are brothers. We have the
same government. We have the same
land. And as one nation we will al
ways live, blessing the common her
itage of the brave deeds of the boys in
blue and the boys In gray.” Thank
God for the day when the northern
states returned the Confederate flags
captured In battle. By that act they
truly and forever captured the south
ern hearts In love. Yes, at last the
north and the south are truly united
and are one.

not only did the north realize that the
southerners were honest men, but they
found that they were reconstructed
men. The southern leaders loyally and
gracefully accepted the decision of the
sword and regarded It as decided for
ever. They were willing to confess
that under no conditions would they
over attempt to get their slaves back
those southern statesmen learned to
trust the south.
When such true leaders as Charles
Sumner, from Massachusetts, and Lu

Sage of Monticello advocated the
emancipation of the negro slave. But,

ways the strongest statesman the south
ever produced, til! the planters rose up

the southern states their flags on tho
ground that the flags were the proper

Beginning of the End.
Oh, the sectional bitterness which
was rankling in the human hearts
north and south in 1887! But in spite
of that fact that letter of U. C. Drum’s
proved to lie the beginning of the end.
Rapidly and surely the last fires of
sectional strife died away. In 18h8 the
very men who had most vehemently
opposed the returning of the Confeder
ate flags were most anxious to see Ma
jor McKinley do what President Cleve
land had failed to accomplish. On Feb.
24, 1*1)8, congress passed the bill ai>
thorlzing the war department to return
all the Confederate flags captured in
battle. Governor Foraker, who had
fought the movement before, was then
senator, and he was the most enthnsi-,
astlc advocate of tbe bill. Yes, yes, at
last tlie civil war was ended. At last
by the voluntary return of the blood
soaked battletlags the United States
congress declared there was no north,
no south, no east, no west, no conquer
ors and no vanquished. The Confeder
ate battleflags were given back to th#
men whose comrades had baptized
them with their life’s blood.
Why did the north return those old
battleflags of the southern army?
First, tlie n >rtherners realized that the
southerners were honest men and hail
been honest in their advocacy of the
state rights principle all through the
war. The northerners realized that the
same fidelity to principle which made
Massachusetts and Illinois and Wis
consin and California fight for the cen
tralization of government drove Geor
gia and Alabama and South Carolina
to tight for state rights. These men.

were not dishonest or mercenary. They
were fighting for a principle, because
with which every Intelligent American
student Is well conversant.
A Dead Issue.
Second fact: When the god of battles
decided the civil strife tbe southerners
almost to a man were ready to accept
that decision. When Finland was con
quered by tbe Russians in 1809 and Al
sace and Lorraine were conquered by
Germany hi 1871 and Spain and Italy
and Holland and Naples and Westpha
lia were conquered by France In the
Napoleonic wars these people were
compelled to bend the knee at the
stroke of tbe sword, but they and
their conquerors never became one.
Finland today is no more Russian than
it is Japanese. Alsace and Lorraine
may pay their taxes to Germany, but You two classes of veterans have not

love
one another?” Oh. yes, the return of
the Confederate flags by the north was
a natural sequence to such a patriotic
love as that. No sooner was the Appo
mattox treaty signed than the true
spirit of the north and tlie south started
in to obliterate sectional strife.
Lastly, I remark that the north gave
back the Confederate flags because the
two sections of our country, by travel
ami intercommunication, got acquaint
ed and learned to know each other.
The northerners traveled south, and
they had a taste of southern hospitali
ty, including the hot breads and the
johnnycakes, and they liked them. And
the southerners traveled north and
learned that there were chivalry and
warm, loving hearts among the New
England snows as well as among the
Georgia flowers. And a new genera
tion began to grow up which knew not
Joseph. The college boys of the north
would persist In falling In love with
the bright eyed maidens from tbe
south. The sons of the old southern
brigadier generals would persist In at
tacking tlie firesides of their fathers’
old enemies and carrying away the
northern girls as willing captives in
tlie old war called love. Cupid’s darts
were flying everywhither until at last
the north awoke and said, “Why, those
southern boys are not born with horns
and cloven feet.” And the southerners
began saying, “Why, those northerners
do love something besides the dollar.”
Then the golden cords of affection be
gan to intwine themselves alsmt north
ern heart and southern heart until the
same blood by the cradle was being
pumped through the arteries of both.
Had the north known the south and
the south known tlie north in 1857 as
they do in 1907 there would have been
no civil war. That war for the most
part was caused by the Ignorance of
the different sections of each other.

A Feat of Tunneling.
In fifteen years New York city will
be drawing its water from the great
Ashokan reservoir, In the heart of the
Catskills. The water will be brought
to the city by a huge concrete and
steel aqueduct 100 miles long and the
largest in the world. The most strik
ing feature of this aqueduct will be
the stupendous siphou under the Hud
son at Storm King. This is a feat of
tunneling that puts to blush all the
tunnels around New York city. The
subways under tbe Hudson now con
structing go down about ninety feet
below the water, but tbe Storm King
siphon will he sunk 650 feet below
the surface of the water and 1,100 feet
below the aqueduct gradient. If this
were built on the air pressure princi
ple, used In tlie East river tunnels, all
the workmen would perish from the
pressure as soon ns the work had
gone a little below 100 feet under the
water. As the engineers found it
would lie necessary to go below the fa
tal limit at Storm King, they decided
to build a tunnel or slnbon so far
down below the river bottom that It
would be in solid rock and not allow’
water to leak in. Going down over
600 feet, they calculate that little or
no water will come in. ami therefore
they will not have to do the work or
dig under pressure from compressed
air -Charles II. Cochrane in Broadway

Favorite Prescription has proved a most
valuable supporting tonic and Invigorat

serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons’ knife, would, It is believed,
seldom have to be employed if this most

mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that Dr. Pierce’s

their composition and harmless character,
