Hidden Strength
The ancient Greek artisans
displayed as much care over their
handiwork in hidden places as in the
parts because exposed to view. They said it was
the gods could see everywhere.
What they were really try¬
ing to express in their primitive
way was their understanding of the
fact that a thing was neither beautiful
nor strong unless the quality endured
r { throughout.
Framework Is Important
The finished floor may be
) made ing which to look covers strong it. But by its the strength floor¬
ties in the skeleton-the framework and
timbers beneath. It must be good to
be strong.

“Jefterson Davis wrote a history
of che struggle but it was full of pre¬
judice. **
Our children are being taught
these things, from text-oooKs, news
papers and the pulpit, tnere ave
been liequent compar.soi o h de
feat of Germany mil me deieat ot
the south, “that eternal justice
nngu. prevail” and when we, who
know the facts shall have passed into
the great beyond, and the boys and
girls ot today who have been victims
ut a uiiarepresented history shall be
- come -ne men and women of affairs,
w.oer^ shall oe the giory of our ilius
trous southland! and where the inspi
ra.io- and ideals of those who. have
enriched her citizenship!
We have allowed our leaders and
^,our .-...d-ei's to be spoxen of as rebels
¥ and traitors.
We nave allowed the war between
the states to be called a civil war,
because the North called it so in
history.
The vilification of Jefferson Davis
became necessary to make the glorifi
cation of Abraham Lincoln more ef
fective, and the historians of the
North were found pursuant to the oc
easlon.
Had President Davis died. in that
cold damp cell with manacles upon
him and had Resident Lincoln lived,
Davis would have been the saint and
Lincoln the sinner. Because Lincoln
was a martyr, attributes which he
did not possess have been handed
down as truthful history. Lincoln was
a remarkable man, and we would not
detract one iota from what is his due,
but gt ^ 8ame time, we are
w jHj n g that untrue statements of
j e ff ergon Davis’s life shall go un
challenged. A contrast of these two
men truthfully and faithfully drawn
will throw much light on un written
history.
They were both born in
within 8 months of each other and
not 100 miles apart. Jefferson Davis
eame from a home of culture refine
ment, luxury and religious influence,
with every educational advantage.
Abraham Lincoln came from
home of poverty no refinement,
culture, little religious influence and
gma jj opportunity for education.
Jefferson Davis in personal ap
p earance) was tall, erect, lean, with
f ea t U res very pronounced and deter
mined. He was alwaye well groomed,
perfectly at ease in «ny company,
an( j enjoyed social life,
Abraham Lincoln was tall, with
stooping shoulders, thin and bony,
prominent features, very determined.
was never well dressed, his clothes
having the appearance of being
thrown at him. He was always iJJ at
ease, and avoided social life.
These two men, who begun
career so closely allied to each
have each carried a thread
out the nation that has been
into the fabric of civilization,
contributing its own luster as
have crossed and recrossed in
web of life: The one a thread
finest silk, with colors immortal
light the way and establish
and standards that shall enrich
the lives and character of men
nations yet unborn; the other
thread of coarser weave that
the issues of the nation in a
bond by might of arms and
them there by power and might
circumstance. The Union was pre¬
served by treachery to its Consti¬
tution.
The South is no longer willing to
stand for the gross misrepresentation
if history and a fair minded North
will not blame the South.
Now when Southern young men
say, “The South as well as the North
is ready to admit that Lincoln is the
greatest of all Americans,” it is time
to call a halt and probe the cause of
such stupidity, and perhaps it will
be laid at our door in that we have
allowed text-books and histories
taught in our, Southern schools that
if believed would dishonor our South¬
land and bring ignominy and shame
on our Confederate dead.
Abraham Lincoln was great; by
force of circumstances. Jefferson Da¬
vis was great in spite of circum¬
stances.
Lincoln is extolled for continued
violations of the Constitution and
Jefferson Davis maligned for daring
,o stand by it and uphold it.
Lincoln’s services to the country
are magnified, even his own men ad¬
mit that they fail to recognize the
man they knew, as history now por¬
trays him.
Jefferson Davis’ services to the
Federal Government are minimized
.ind misrepresented.
They tell you of the horrors of An
lersonville and they were horrors,
uit fail to tell who were responsible
:or them. As history has been re
vised and rewritten in the hands of a
misinformed generation the facts
have been so perverted and the view¬
point so distorted, that it is no won
der that sons and daughters of Con
federate Veterans write articles foi
newspapers and magazines conden
ning the principles for whicl
heir fathers fought and even
stand for a changed Constitu
i-ion that will overthrow the very bul
warks of the South—State Sovei
ignty and it is full time that th
Daughters of the Confederacy de
mand that the truth shall be writtei
and that those truths shall be cor¬
rectly taught in our scnools and Col
leges. The cause for which the Con
federate Soldiers fought was not a
ost cause. The late war was fough
to maintain the same principles—the
non-interference with just rights.
The South never has abandoned
the principle fo which she fought
nor ever will. By overwhelming arms
she was forced to surrender, but this
does not mean that the right to se
cede is not still in the Constitution,
hut the promise has been made never
to try it again and she will keep that
promise. If the North does not know
the South’s side of history—and how
can she know it if we do not tell it
to the world—then the historians of
of the future will continue to mis
represent the South and the South
will continue to resent the misrepre
sentatlon,
When Gen. Lee surrendered, Pres
blent Davis was rapidly making his
way to join the last division of
army under Kirby Smith in Texas,
when he was captured at Irwington,
Ga. and taken prisoner to Fortress
Monroe to await trial: a reward of
$100,000.00 was offered for his cap
ture. He was put iri chatns and treat
ed with .great indignities for two
years,
The U. S. authorities refused the :
urgent and continued request for an
immediate trial and when, it was dis
covered that a trial would condemn
the North by a statement from Chief
-Justice Chase to that effect, he was
from prison under bond and j j
he returned to his home at Bouvo ir.
Miss, where he lived until his death;
which oecured in New Orleans in
1889. He was buried in N. O. but his
i body was later removed to Richmond,

erected to his memory,

was able to attend, some of the soJ

by all right thinking men the world

at the hands of those who were afraid
to try him in a Court of Justice.
