But the very pertinence of the phrase intimates @ certain futility in the bi-partisan scheme, and in a measure forecasts ite failure. How can the tariff issue be taken out of politics so long as one eet of men wish a tariff to raise a revenue for the whole country and another set wish it to assure monopoly or special privileges to big interests ?

ITH the announced objects of the proposed “Sports- man’s. League,” for which an organization banquet is in preparation, the public cherishes a cordial sympathy, Any fraternal and festal movement designed to prevent “malicious attacks againat sports of al! kinds” will be commended s0 long as it keeps itself true to the sporting rule of fair play and no favor. It behooves the promoters of the league to bear in mind, how- ever, that such restrictions as have been put upon several forms of sport in this country have not been due to malicious attacks, but to the corruption of those sports by gamblers and confidence opera- tems, The American people have no natura! nor inherited prejudice against any kind of manly sport that is honestly conducted. Of one thing the league may be sure: If it will keep all sport lean on the inside, it need never fear malice from without. a Oe SPRING IN NEW ENGLAND.

This | 1911. 9 That Changed History By Albert Payson Terhune ARR MAE MMR OE HD Wopriight, 1011, bs The Press Publishing Co. (The New York World), No, 29,—A Lost Scrap of Paper That Turned the Tide of a Civil 1, he we Fat Dela: War Campaign. @ Confederate General had not carelessly lost a scrap of paper the fate of at least one campaign of the Civil War would have deen far different; and it is perhaps possible that the Confederate off cers might have fulfilled their boast to “Stable their horses i Faneuil Hall at Boston.” It was a bit of negligence—this losing of a paper —that was pald for In the blood of thousands of brave men Since the outset of the Civil War the Confederates had acted on the defensive. The Union armies had always fought in Southern territory. | McClelian and other Northern Generals had hurled their forces in vain at Richmond, the Confedera: ital, Through these same Generals’ inability or through the martial genius of Lee, Jackson and lesser Southern leaders, the effort to reach Richmond had resulted in failure. ‘ Then, in the early autumn of 1862, after the North had recently euffered several heavy defeats, Lee resolved to turn from the defensive to the aggres- sive and to carry the war into the enemy's country. In other words, to invade the North, striking straight at the heart of the Union, He had reason to think that Maryland was in sympathy with the South and that his army would find warm welcome there. He also hoped by this raid to avert another attack on Virginia, A Daring Ho planned a route toward Pennsylvania which would foree | Plan. the (Union) Army of the Potomac to follow him. If | Pemmnnnmanmns could beat that pursuing army and drive it back, demoral- | 1ned, toward Washington the whole North would probably be helpless to cheok | his advance, On Sept. 5, 1862, Lee crossed the Potomac River into Maryland. Ther the eager and widespread welcome he had expected was not forthcoming, The State did not rise to his ald, The Marylanders, for the most part, received the Southern army coldly. Such people there as happened to sympathize with the South seemed afretd to go on record by making any wild demonstration.ef friendliness, For in case the invasion should not succeed its Maryland sup- | porters might find themselves !n an uncomfortable position, (Whittler’s poem, “Barbara Frietchie," describes an alleged event in this march through the eup- posedly “eympathetl State.) | Lee pushed on northward toward Pennsylvania, He secretly detached strong force from his main army and sent {t under Jackson to capture Harper's Ferry. A detailed account of this manoeuvre was dispatched by Lee to all | his corps commanders, The copy of ft received by <Gen. Hill (one of his @ub- ordinates) was lost. i According to one account, this all-important paper fell from Hill's pooket as he was crossing a field and was picked up by @ farmer, who carried it straight to the Northern General, McClellan, ‘The Comte de Paris in his “History of the Clv!l War in America” says Hill left the crumpled paper lying on the corner of a table at his headquarters at Frederick, Md., where ft was found by Me! > But for this gross carelessness there would have been quite another chapter to the Civil War's story. Also, had MeClellan acted more swiftly upon the information ight have n far more profit from It. The enemy's Plan of action was his possession. He knew that Lee was eplitting the Southern army tn two kening {In order to capture Harper's Ferry. Two courses of !mmediate action lay before McClellan: To save Harpers Ferry from capture and to attack Lee before the divided portions of the ter’s army could be reun! MoeClellan sent one detachment to relleve | the Harper's Ferry garrison, With the main body of his army he prepared to | crush Lee, It was a good plan, but !t was not well carried out The force sent to save Harper's Ferry did not take the shortest route thither. It wasted time by taking a longer rond. Meanwhile tha Harper's Ferry garrison, after a pitifully weak defense, surrendered to the Confederates, McClellan also delayed somewhat in advancing upon Lee, who thus had time to intrench his army strongly at. ® point on Antietam Creek. But, forcing thelr way past South Mountain, after two sharp confilcts, the Union troops approached Lee's Position. McClellan held back for a day before attacking, and thereby enabled Jackson to bring up about 10,000 more men to Leo's afd. It was not until the Morning of Sept. 17 that the battle of Antietam actually began, eplendid chances having been lost through the long wait. Then followed what has been called “the deadliest single day of fighting fm all the Civil War.” McClellan lost 12,459 men, The exact Southern loss thas never been learned, but it ts eupposed to have been at least as large McClellan's, The Union forces won the battle. Lee—his great plan for inva: sion ruined—fell back. McClellan was later severcly criticised for allowing his beaten foe to retreat in safety and to cross back unopposed Into Virginia, ‘The first great invasion of the North was at an end, Largely because one man neglected to keep or to destroy a bit of paper.
