CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JUKE 23, If The Traqedly of'JlRF3Psia Paws 'J . . , , . . - - . CXAKEXCE H. TOE IX THE OCTXOOK. 1 . ,1 y Among the leaders of Southern sen timent, Mr.- Poe Is typical of the younger group. Born since the close of the reconstruction era, he inherits the finer traditions of the South without having been embittered by memories of Ita harshest experiences. As editor . of ThcProgressiva Farmer, of Raleigh North Carolina, he has not only-rendered service to agricultural progress in the State, but has also given voice to liberal and progressive opinions on social and political Questions. H is a member and vica chairman of the child labor committee of his State, and has done much to further the cause of ' the liberation of children from indus trial burdens. He is also secretary treasurer of the State Literary and Historical Association. The Editors. The celebration In all parts of the South a few days ago of the one hun dredth anniversary of the birth of Jef ferson Davis again directs attention 4oJ the singularly tragic career of the famous Confederate -chieftain. A hakanear could make of it a story that would Interest the ages. In fact, there is hardly a character In all the i tragedies of the . great playwright ,. whom misfortune follows so persist ently as It did the executive head of the short-lived 'Southern republic. Called of the gods to lead in sorrow but in Imperial pride the foredoomed causa of a belated feudalism In its death-grapple with that growtng spir it of democracy which had become the ruling passion of the age why did this not promise In itself enough of tragedy to satisfy the fates T But it would seem as if destiny had set it self, through fourscore years and with many forms of trial to break the ijras terful spirit of this man, only to find taat through it all "he winced not nor cried aloud." The magazines this month, this month of the Davis centenary, them salves illustrate in striking fashion the tragedy that still attends bis memory. In these reviews even this month his . naane is barely mentioned, while arti cles already beginning foretell the coming deluge of literature that will . mark the centenary of his great an tagonist, Abraham Llncon, in Febru ary of next year. Born tn the same State and but a few months apart, the lives of both these men lay hold mlgbt- - Ily upon the Imagination; and In both the tragic is the major note. While reared in greater comfort, the early life of Da via seems hardly hsppler than that of Lincoln himself. Marry ing at twenty-five the daughter of Sa chary Taylor, her deatn a few months later almost prostrated blm, and tor years afterwards ha lived In collision, helping his brother In the management of their Mississippi plan tation and fitting himself by study for the tasks ha wss later to assume. Dis tinguishing himself for gallantry In the Mexican war, and winning laurels as Representative and Senator In' Wash ington, this season of seeming pros perity lasted only' long enough for the fates to fit him for the supreme trag edy in which he must ever stand con spicuous In history. To tew men has come a harder task than that of guiding the - destinies of the loose confederation of JeaJbua sov ereignties that made up the Southern Confederacy. If Davis had succeeded, he would have deserved a mighty place .n history; that he failed la not convincing proof of weakness. The very principles that called his gov ernment into being had In them the; menace of failure. Leaving the Union because Of their adherence 'to the doe trine of "States Rights,' each South ern Commonwealth was jealous of whatever attempt at power the , new oentral government displayed, and very effort made by Davis to Increase tne efficiency of the natiopal organisa tion provoked criticism In hJs own cab inet were bitter critics; the Vice Pres ident of the Confederacy differed with him violently; In both houses of Con gress his policies wers under constant fire; the brilliant editor of The Rich mond Examiner turned his caustic pen against the resident; and Khett, of The Charleston Mercury, went so far as to suggest Impeachment Itself. When the war ended and. the horror of Lincoln's assassination maddened the people, the bitterness of the times had so fully done its work that the North was ready to believe Davis a party to the awful crime. For two years a prisoner on the charge of treason and complicity in assassination, the msn sua but a few years sgo had seemed indeed to stand oil fortune's crowning ' lopa now drank the bitterest dregs of disaster and humiliation. And then, as If fated to typify In American history that "Unhappy master whom unmerciful dls sster Followed fast snd followed fatter," Davis came from this ordeal and en gaged in business only to see his com pany fall after a few years of effort, while bereavement and other misfor tunes crowded thick upon him. Three sons had been born to him. One of thees fell from a window tn the execu tive mansion during the wsr and was killed: in 1874 another dld of diph theria, while the. only one to reach manhood died Just as he began busl ines at the age of twenty-one in 171. The tragedy of such a life should Ittpeal to the heart of the nation, andMl 1 proof of the kingly spirit of the man, that he was never humbled. An eyewitness described his trial, after two years of confinement In prison, much of the time shackled like the common criminal in these words: ' Mr. Davis, though looking better than I expeced. is only a shadow ot his former self; but with all his dignity and high,. unquenchable manhood. As Tec entered the densely crowded court room with bis proud step and lofty look, every bead reverently bowed to Mm, and a strsnger would have sworn that he was the Judge and Judge' Un derwood the culplrt. . The pity df ft Is that the tragedy did not end with the life of Davis, but that there are yet deplorable miscon ceptions of the man on the part, of the general public I am not an apologist for Mr. Davis; I am not even an ard ent admirer of him, certainly not In comparison with Lee or Jackson or other Enntbern heroes of the civil wsr, I would, however, bsve our people r alite, howsoever short he fell of being a great statesman or nation-builder, the pathos of Davla Ufa, his Indomit able courage, the parity ef his char ecter. and bis modest but definite con tributions te sect tonal readjustment and reconciliation in bis last years.

Sold I gwafaate at all drug electa, Ocl saay him too much In bis official rela tions; his brilliant exploits In the Mex ican -war and his notable success a Secretary of .War in Pierce's cabinet seem to have given him an exaggerated idea of his military genius; ha was In excusably slow, perhaps. In realising the desperate straits of his army to ward the last; and .admittedly slower than Lee and the other great South erners In accepting the new order ft things after the war, v The recognition of these facts, how ever, affords no Justification, for the perpetuation of admitted errors con cerning the Confederate leader. For a long time It was believed in the North that he had supported repu diation In Mississippi, The truth is. he wrote a pamphlet Opposing repudia tion, and presented it boldly to the leader of the opposition, v " - v J l . For a long time It was believed that he had plotted against the Union, In order that he might head the Confed eracy. The truth is that he did not see or desire the presidency, but wished a place in the army, and re ceived the news of his election as President with undisguised sorrow. Many critics have charged that he a as a failure as the new nation's Chief Executive. The truth is that circum stance foredoomed the occupant of the office, whatever his ability, to almost certain failure. For a long time it was believed that he was responsible for the mistreat ment of Union prisoners, and guilty even of plotting against tne lire or. Lincoln; but historians of both sec tions now admit the groundlessness of luoe charges. There has also been a widespread belief that Mr. Davis persistently en couraged disloyal sentiment In the South after the war; but this charge as we shall see in a moment, is also without foundation. i Nor would this catalogue of the ele ments of tragedy In the career of Mr. Davis be complete if I did not men tion that savage thrust of his evil genius which even now will not let his memory rest, but sends to tne United States from the South another Jeffer son Davis, who in bearing and man ner and speech Is the antipodes of the dignified and cultured Senator frank Mississippi fifty years sgo. Many stories are told illustrating the striking yet thoroughly easy and natural dignity of the Confederate President. In my office this week a man who knew him years ago said, "Mr. Davis was the only man I have ever known who knew how to walk." And hi dignity was the same whether he was dealing with prince or pauper. When In Raleigh a score of years ago, a number of prominent men called to see him at the hotel, ana ho excused himself from them after a time In or der that he might fpeak with his old negro servant, who had gone to his room to pay his respects and to talk with his former master. It Is my desire especially, however, to correct the current misapprehen sions ss to Mr. Davis' attitude toward tne Union In his last years. What he may have said In 1871 Is not a fair cri terion, for the South was then In the midst of the saturnalia of reconstruc tlon. the excesses of which were cal culated to drive the bravest men into despair and distrust of the future. A friend of mine who knew him in the later '70s declares, "there Was no bit terness about him;" and this idea Is borne out by the, closing chapter of his monumental work on "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Govern ment.' Hear him also In 187S: "We have recently been taught that those whom we had considered en mies (measuring them by standard bearers whose hearts were filled with malignity) In our hour of trouble had hearts beating In sympathy with our grief. We have been taught by the)r generosity, that bounded with quick response to the afflictions of the South, that the vast body of peopls at the North are our brethren still. And the heart would be dead to every generous Impulse that would try to stimulate in you now a feeling of hostility to those so large a majority of whom have manifested nothing but brotherly love for you, Even more striking Is the testimony of a man who heard Mr. Davis speak' On the occasion o his last public ap nea rante and "who Says: "Mr. Davis spoke for. an hour or More. Every word ho uttered admonished loyalty to the Union end the burial of all aec- tt.mal fnnllnB' Tf t,ffrt fn hasten th .rowlni. reconciliation of the North and South, and the earnestness of his message can never be forgotten by those who heard him." The scene of his address was the Seventh Mississip pi Democratic convention, the time the fall of 118, a year before Mr. Davis death, and the occasion, as my Inform ant reports It, singularly pathetic and dramatic. Colonel Stockdale, a Tenn sylvsnlan ty birth, had Just been nom ine ted for Congress, and Mr. Davis, happening to be In the city, was sent for snd asked to address the conven tion. It. wss late afternoon, and the ! last rays of a setting sun fell upon the white hair of the aged statesman ss he stood before his hearers. Himself the ambsssador of a vanished idea, tne representative of a dead era,, and a man who in the turmoil of eighty trou blous -years had suffered enough to make one of smaller mold vindictive and bitter, he brought to the young sons of the South a message showing such serenity of temper and catholic ity of spirit that the fates for once seem to have grown kind tn the man they could not humble; certainly noth ing In all his life became him better than this last public scene In the trag edy of Jefferson Davla, in a tlme-yel-lowed paper now before me I find the first paragraph of Mr. Davis speech on the occasion given as follows and it mskes a fitting word with which to close this sketch of a man whom fate and history have dealt unkindly, but whom the future wm vindicate rrom many misconceptions of our time: Mr. Chairman ( and jreuow-Clilsenst Ah., pardon mel The laws - of the United States no longer permit me to designate you as fellow-cltlsens, but I am thankful that I may address you as my friends. I feel no regret that I stand before you this afternoon a man without a country, for my ambi tion lies burivd in the grave of the Confederacy. Aye, the grave of the Confederacy There have been con signed not only my ambition, but the dogmas upon whlrh that government was bes4. The faces 1 see before me are those of young men. Had I not known this 1 would not have appeared before you. Men In whose hands ths destinies of our Southland lie, for lovs of her I break my silence, to speak to you a few words of respectful admonl tlon. The past Is dead; let it bury Its dead. Its hopes and its aspirations. Be fore you lies the future a future full of golden promise, a future full of re compense! for honorable endeavor, a future of expanding national glory, amased. Let me beseech you to lay aside all rancor, all bitter sectional feeling, and is take your places in tha before which all the world' shall stand amazed, Let me beseech you to lay aside all rancor, ..all bitter . sectional feeling, and ta take your places in the ranks of those who will bring about a consummation devoutly to be wished reunited country.
