Gelling their products through the mountains to the eastern roast would he an ex pensive and difficult process. A railroad from Memphis to Charleston through Montgomery and Atlanta waa already under. way. and a second one waa planned through Jackson to Mobile. These endeavors set Davis planning a road from Memphis to California. The roads would join the Koulh and the West and would he adequate to handle trade diverted down to the South Instead of going to the Ecat In order to carry out hla plan. It waa neeea sary to send groups of engineers along the three possible routes to California. Much Information of the new West was thus accurately obtained and laid before the members of congress. The route most favored was that to the extreme south, passing with difficulty through New Mexico, an obstacle easily avoided by the purchase of land lying to the south and known ns the Gadsden which was obtained from Mexico by t Purchase, Gadsden for 110,000,000. Coexistent with that plan, there run another which our modern times Is seeing rnrried to success. It was nothing less than the dream of securing protectorates over Central America and parts of Nicaragua. Cuba had at first been Included In this vision of wider boundaries for the United States, but that dream was shattered In the Ostend manifesto. Davis aaw clearly enough that travelers and cargoes of commerce made their chosen pussage to the Pacific through Nicaragua. It waa one of nature' route and the line of a future railroad or canal. Through a man named Walker, who furnished American forces to aid a revolution In that country, Davia came close to realizing his aim, but events enme to pass that frustrated, not only this scheme to create a sphere of Influence to the South, but also that great plan of arterial rail building to the West. The slavery dispute was beginning to reach an acute stage and the North opposed Davis' schemes for the western expansion on the ground that It meant the Inevitable extension of slavery Into the new territory. In 1858 Davis was again In the senate. The war clouds were already beginning to gather and a committee was appointed to draw up a compromise to prevent the danger of a civil war. He was a member of that committee but, before Its plan was completed South Carolina had seceded and when Mississippi followed her out of the Union, Davis resigned from the senate. On February 18, 1S61, William Lowndes Yancey, the foremost orator of the South, stepped out on the gallery of the Exchange hotel In Montgomery, Ala., and, bowing to the great throng of people below him, pointed to the tall, erect figure which stood beside him and said: The man and the hour have met. The man was Jefferson Davis, and the hour was his Inauguration as president of the Confederate States of America. It was also the hour when two seemingly irreconcilable systems of society and economy came to grips In a death struggle and the fate of a nation hung In the balance. If Jefferson Davis had been other than what he was, what Is now the one nation of the United States might have been two nations. But it Is not that because he was, according to his latest biographer, one of the great and admirable failures of history." According to Tate, Davis failed because He could not manage men and he was too great a character to let men manage him ; that is the tragedy of his career. He was a constitutional pedant who never understood the political reality behind the political law. Every breakdown of political theory gave him a shook and this was mostly what he received from the election of a sectional President, Abraham Lincoln. He was a southern Intellectual who cast his lot with theories and fell before the onslaught of facts. Just how much he contributed to the failure of the Confederacy can never be estimated exactly, for there were so many factors, other than his weaknesses, which contributed to that failure. But if the South came to blame him In the bitterness of its defeat, the time came when, as Tate says, he received, at last, the adoration of his people. He was the President until he died. And their affection for him In recent years took the form of a lofty obelisk, a stone monument second only In height to the Washington monument, which was dedicated at his birthplace near Fairview, Ky, last year. The statue which Is to he unveiled in Statuary hall ts another emblem of that feeling. But It Is more than that It Is a tardy tribute to the most neglected American," whom all Americans can Justly honor. nation-developin- Statue for Statuary Hall A Ca. than (o congress. In 1843 he mnrried Miss Varina Howell. During Dnvls first session as a member of the house of representatives he resigned to lead a regiment of volunteers from Mississippi Into Mexico. Ills old West Folnt trninlng came Into play, and he drilled his men to the degree that made Mm unpopular with them. He was ever the martinet. lie served gulluntly In Mexico, especially at Buena Vista. In the latter engagement his father-in-laGeneral Taylor, advised him to leave the field, so badly wounded was he, but he remained all that dny with his men. In 1S47 Davis was apindnted to fill out a term In the senate. This was followed by an elected tenn In the same body, but he resigned In 1851, In 1837, serving until his only to be state seceded from the Union In 1861. As senator he was the leader of the southern Democrats, taking the place made vacant by Calhoun. When Pierce became President all knew that Jefferson Davis would he high in the government under him, so conspicuous was his national status at that time. He was offered the portfolio of the War department and became secretary of War of the United States In 1853. His services were of conspicuous value to the country and elicited praise even from his enemies. Ills previous services as chairman of the committee on military affairs In the senate had greatly helped to equip him for the Important work of the War department. Davis career as secretary of war Is but little known to most Americans but It was upon his acts In that post that his principal claim to being a great statesman rests. With characteristic thoroughness he began to Institute needed reforms In the army. He secured for both officers and privates an Increase In pay, for living expenses had Increased 40 per cent, while wages had remained stationary. He enlarged the standing army and he adopted the most Improved equipment In arms and ammunition that the period afforded. Additional forts and arsenals were erected and the signal corps service was perfected. Lee was at this time superintendent of West Point, so Davis, through him, had a thorough investigation of that institution and Its curriculum made, with the result that both were Improved so that our national military academy was said to be the equal of any similar Institution anywhere In the world. It is also worthy of mention that he was placed In charge of completing the National Capitol and he and his architects planned and started the buildings of the senate and house wings of that great structure. As a dreamer of an empire and a planner for it, Davis has been compared, and not unfavorably, to Washington, Jefferson and Jackson. Transportation and the Joining of our widely separated coasts seemed to have Interested him Intensely. He introduced camels Into the country, hoping that they would solve the problems of travel and transportation across the arid southwestern deserts. lie ordered the first survey for a route for a transcontinental railroad and is quoted as saying regarding It : "The military necessity for such means of transportation and the need for safe and rapid communication with the Pacific slope, if we are to secure Its continuance as a part of this Union, Is apparent.

The most neglected man of hie atature In American history." n recent biographer has culled him, and that biographer, Allen Tata, In Ida "JelTerson Darla Ilia IlJse and Fall," published by Minton, Raich and company, hna rescued from an undeserved obacurlty a man who played one of tba very few leading roles on tba American historical stupe from 17 SO to 1805, who was an Interesting personality and a Davis genuinely tragic figure. It Is not Portraits Inn difficult, perhaps, to understand why Jefferson Davis has been this "most neglected American." In the eyes of the North he was the arch-reband the tide of b.lnd prejudice and bitter partisanship, which rose steadily from 1801 to its height In 1885 and W'hirh did not begin to reced for many years, would not allow that section of the country to see him otherwise than as a traitor. In the eyes of the Soulh he was a misfit as a leader, at first the scapegoat In the failure of the Confederacy and at at last a martyr whom no one Intimately understood It la easy to hall a successful rebel ; It Is equally easy to forget an unsuccessful one. But the great Injustice that history 1ms done Jefferson Davis has been to remember him mainly aa he was during those four bitter years and what Tate calls "the twenty-fou- r years of anticlimax, of death In life," from 1805 until he died on May 11, 1880. What It has failed to do Is to remember him for what he was during the 53 years of his distinguished career before that fatal day when he ordered General Beauregard to fire upon Fort Sumter. It was a curious example of the Irony of fate that the origins of Jefferson Davit should have ao closely resembled those of the opponent leader In this greatest of all civil wars. Davis was born In Kentucky a year before Lincoln was born in the same state. He sprang from the same stock as did Lincoln, for Tate characterizes Samuel Davis, his father, as "a typically restless pioneer of the Old Southwest, sturdy, plain, painfully honorable and deeply religious; not faring very well nor taking to himself the air of a superior class; for there was no aristocracy In the primitive day of the frontier, Ills restlessness led him to move his family several times from Kentucky to Louisiana and finally Into Wilkinson county, Miss. The last move proved to be the deciding one in the career of Jefferson Davis, for this was the land of King Cotton and, as Tate saya, "The transformation of the Davis family In one generation from insecure small fanners Into great planters and the growth of the patriarchal idea, whereby Samuel Davis, a plain man, becama the symbol of knightly grace this process of expansion In one family Is the story of the rise of the Lower South. So Jefferson Davis became an aristocrat by training, If not by birth. From the age of six he had every advantage of education possible in that period and that schooling continued through hla graduation from West Point There be was looked upon as the typically southern West Potnt-e- r His presence, conduct and manner Indicated pride, determination, personal mastery. While serving as a lieutenant at Fort Oawford In Wisconsin nnder the command of Col. Zachary Taylor he fell In love with the colonel's daughter, Sarah Knox Taylor, and, despite the objections of that officer, married her. Then he resigned from the army and took his bride back to his Mississippi home with him, but within three months she had died. It was the first tragedy In Davis career. After the death of h!s wife, Davis withdrew Into the strictest seclusion and for the next ten years he devoted his time to directing the affairs of his plantation, amassing a fortune from cotton and applying himself to reading and study of political philosophy, political economy and public law. It was during this period that he determined upon a political career. He was a Democrat, a states rights man and a follower of Calhoun hard-workin- hile day, esta wire the Sours l4i do City Oslu-B- o) ba rarved In marble bjr nation, la to bold Ibelr minilua Brigham IT1I1N 1 swrU-tie- s o Km (tie, at Ogden.
