upon the great work before the legislature
to-day, and tc so guide the work that the
| body might act not only in accord with di
vine will but in direct obeyance to the ex
pressed win of great and free people.
The first business before the senate was

Mr. President and Senators.
There are times in the history of all
countries when great principles are put

demanded Soon after the formation Of
our government Capitalization stalked like
Q grim spectre in the executive chamber
aud in the halls of congress. The doctrines
against which our forefathers revolted
again asserted themselves in the citadels Of
power, and government OF the people was
rapidly giving way to political aristocracy.
Republican principles were upon trial and
everything depended upon leadership. In
that trying hour all eyes were turned to
Thomas Jefferson, and he, like CincinnatuS,
was summoned from his retirement to lead
the votaries of pure Democracy. Again,
in 1925 when the same issues were facing
each other in national politics, the i'm

peoples cause. And when the people
of the South, unwilling to longer
submit to the encroachments
of the general government upon the re-
served rights of the states, were denied the
right to peaceably withdraw from the
Union, and at last appealed to the god of
battle in defense Of their homes and their
fresides, they turned with one accord to
Jefferson Davis, the peerless statesman and
the uneonquerable patriot of the South,
and to the glittering swords of Lee and
Jackson, the chivalrous chieftains of the
greatest conflict that ever ragged among CIV

Differentin form, but no less potent in
its consequences, the conflict still RACES.
Parentalism is graphing to control the
policies of the general government, and to
strangle to death the Democracy of Jeffer-
son and Jackson. The United States senate
is being filed with millionaires who have
