The old Davis home belongs to the flrat White House Association, composed of Southern women, being pur chased by that organisation from the descendants of President Davis about a year ago. It now occupies a place across from the state capltol.

Men who followed I.ee mid Jacksnn, Johnston, Forrest. Stuart, and the other great generals of the Confederacy, were the most prominent of the visitors who gathered here from all the states of the South and many from the other states of Hie union to take part In the dedicatory exercises. Veterans of the Spanish-American war, and World War, Daughters of the Confederacy, tho Confederate States Memorial Association, civic nnd other organizations, participated In the pa-rnde to the state capltol whore Jefferson Davie took the oath of office as President of the Confederacy. Tho dedication and reopening of the historic White House today brought to successful conclusion the efforts of a hand of Southern women who since 10111 had sought to obtain the financial means of preserving whnt they hope will become olio of two or three prln-fipal shrines of thd Old South.

Amendment of the federal constitution to embody some uf the principled tot forth in the constitution In the Confederate states would bring many needed reforms, Senator J'at Harrison of Mississippi, declared here tonight at cereninnii'H concluding the reopening and dedication -r tin- first White Houao of the Confederacy. "What a needed reform will be wrought," said Senator Harrison, "If the Congress and the states would to day ameud the federal constitution, and lollow the principle cuum-lated in thi Confederate constitution extending the term of president and vice president to tlx years and making Won. Ineligible for reelection. "What an economy It would effect and a saving to Ihe of the country if that pnrt of tin- rutif.ilerat-constitution could be ndopted by the Federal Government requiring a two-third vote of the Congress to make federal appropriations.1' "And, oh! That some of our present day Democrats who lu their m-lflsh desire to enrich fl few the expense of the many, protect one et Ion to the detriment of another, who have joined tho ranks of those who belicvo lu protective tariff, would read and memorise that purt of the Confederate constitution, that condemned in tho Ktronynt possible language a protective tariff and unanimously laid down the rule that the pnssago of any such law was for- ever prohibited by the Confederate congress." Tribute to IlavU. Senator Harrison, whu made the principal address at tho dedication a a shrine for the Old South ot the mansion In which Jefferson Davis lived during the early days of the Confederacy, paid high tribute to Davis, asserting that "Jefferson Davis is truly the Oliver Crnunvcll of America." "No Auiericau has boon so little understood and maliciously misrepresented as Jefferson Davis," Senator Harrison continued, adding that the Imprisonment of Davis at Fortress Moil roo "Ih only exceeded In debased mockery by one Incident In the annals of history and that the crucifixion of the lowly The Mississippi Senator described as a "fatal blunder' the removal of the capltol of the Confederacy from "Montgomery to Klchinond." "Left in Montgomery," he added, "It would have compelled tho enemy to operate from a distant bnse of supplies upon lines of communication 800 miles long, while It would have liberated to ho used ns the occuslou demanded, a magnificent army which was constantly required for the defense of Richmond."

John Trotwood Moore was called oil to read again the pottn he wrote twenty-five years ago as a tribute to tho soldiers of the Confederacy, "Wearing the Gray." Recently ho has added another stanzs, referring to the world wan, Mr. Moore's roem. The Added stanza la aa follows! Wearing the gray, ay, rebels they say.

But who died first tor Old Glory that day, When Spain struck our Eagle? Baptised In ita Are Died Bagley, the son of Confederato sire I And who, when tho French had given their all. And the British line broke with Ita back to the wall, Stop't the Hun at the Marne, swept his throne from the Rhine, And shattered his god with the Hln- denburg line, Who? The soldlera ot Qod and Old Glory thot day, The Old Hlrkory Division grandsons of the gray! Per'haps never at any previous Decb ration Day service have tbo Confederates and the Daughters Beard the Old nnd New South eulogized In more glowing terms than In those which characterized Hr. Stores' address. ''The tin cut type of manhood on tho face of the earth lies burled under this sod," he said. "These men are the finest product of Anglo-Saxon blood.

Tbero will never again be conditions which produced the men who lived In Dixie la 1801. "In holding these services we are not gathered here In any spirit of disloyalty to our country, for there ere no men nor women among us who, as song and daughters of tbo Confederacy, do not count our loyalty one of our prlmo attributes, Tbero Is no section of tho country which has always rallied moro quickly to the defense of the flag and the Government than tho Southland. Alabamlan First to DU. "The first boy who died In tho recent world war was an Alabama lad, and the soldiers who broke the Hlndenbnra; line and proved so the German Kaiser that his throne wss soon to topple wii our own Thirtieth Division. Wo should be disloyal If we did not come today to honor the sacred dead who bled and died for what they thought wss right.

"The truth has not been told about the part the Confederate army played In the Civil War. They called It a "civil war," but we were not rebels. Under the Constitution of the United States, the South clnlmed the right to secede from the Union, a privilege which bed previously been taken by certain New England stales. We did not fight until we had to, and then wo struggled for our right nnd nothing else. Tbo cntise of tbo Civil War was not slavery.

That was merely incidents! but wss used as protignnda for tbe purpose of making a popumr appeal to the peoplo or me isortn.
