petuate prejudice against the federal

commander in chief of the United

ut is difficult for me to believe that any
respectable southern teacher is knowingly
using any book that is intended to perpetu-
ate sectional prejudice in the minds of
southern children.
More than 20 years ago, with the hearty
approval of Gen. R. e. Lee and, believe,
win the sanction of our whole people,
made earnest and persistent effort to have
oanished from schools of the south and
north all sectional books and books which
mad any faint of bitterness against either
section.
Every movement made by the United
Confederate Veterans and every recom-
nendation made by our historical commit
tee has been to find and sustain only such
books as gave the truth of history without
the slightest tinge of passion or prejudice
against either the north or the south. do
not hesitate to say in the broadcast and
most emphatic terms that such is the spirit
of an Overwhelming majority of the south
ern people.
ANY effort, however, to have books used
In schools. north or south, which would
lower the self-respect of the children of

ments will never succeed, because 1t would

hood of our country"

A SORRY CONTRAST
The Republican Party of 1886 and
1900 Vividly Compared.
The PARTY that Nominated Fremont and
the Mckinley Party are not at all the
Same. The Principles of Orig
inators are Abandoned.
(San Francisco Examiner.)

San Francisco EXaminer.)
The body which met at Philadelphia
was called the twelfth national con-
vention of the Republican party. But
the party that nominated Fremont in
1856 and the party that renominated
Mckinley in 1900 are not only two
different things-they are absolutely
anti-pedal.
It was at Philadelphia, just forty
four years ago that the first national
Republican nominating convention
adopted its platform. The preamble
of that platform shows what consti-
tuted republicanism in those days:
This convention of delegates, as.
sembled in pursuance of call adj
dressed to the people of the United
States, without regard to past polit-
ical differences or divisions, who are
opposed to the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, to the policy of the pres
ant administration, to the extension
of slavery into free territory, in favor
of admitting Kansas as free state,
of restoring the action of the federal
government to the principles of Wash
ington and Jefferson, and who pur-
pose to unite in presenting candidates
for the Offices of president and vice
president, do resolve, ETC."
It is evident that sort of republican
party the trainers of this platform
had in mind was the old republican
party of Thomas Jefferson, of which
the democracy of William J. Bryan is
today the lineal descendant. But for
the slavery issue, which has since dis
appeared from politics, they would
have had no quarrel with the demo-
cratic party of their own time, and
they would have felt completely at
home in the Democratic party of to-
day. This is evident not from their
appeal to the principles of Jefferson
but from the remainder of their plat.
form. Their first resolution ran:
Resolved, That the maintenance Of
the principles promulgated in the
Declaration of independence and EN-
bodied in the federal constitution j.
essential to the preservation of oul
republican institutions, and that the
. AC0SAdI tHC VI eAS
state and the union of the states shall
be preserved"
The constitution and the Declare.
ton of Independence, the two things
on which the democracy stands today,
and which the Republican party OF
Hanna and Mckinley consider out of
hate, were the foundation stone of the
Republican party of 1856. The whole
of that first Philadelphia platform
was little more than restatement of
the principles contained in those docu-
ments. 1t went on:
'.ResoIyed. That, with our Repub-
Iican fathers, We hold it to be self
evident truth that all men are en-
lowed with the inalienablc rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
less, and that the primary object and
