Richard Nixon writes from New Orleans
70 THE CENTURY for December about the
new Southern Exhibition. He concludes as
follows
ITO say that the Exposition will have a
softening effect upon the lingering animosi-
ties of the war is to imply that such animos-
tiles still exist-an implication that the
Southerner is loath to admit. There il moth
ing SO potent as prosperity to wipe out re-
sentiment. The more prosperous the South
has grown, the less Disposition has she felt
to dwell upon what she was wont to consider
her injuries; and to day, standing on the eve
of her great festival, to which she has in
vited the nations of the earth, she would re-
sent the imputation that she harbors malice
against any. Doubtless, however, the Expo
sition will bring about a still better knowl-
edge and higher respect among the various
sections of our common country"
