|WHY THE SOUTH SHOULD LOVE AND
CELEBRATE THE FOURTH OF JULY
By F in thea AtntaJor
BY F. H. RICHARDSON, in the Atlanta Journal

whole of the immortal document can
be written on a postal card.
From the beginning of the last CEN
tury almost down to the beginning OF
the civil war Fourth of July cele1ra-
ton every year was a matter Of course
in almost every community in every
part of the country.
This good custom has never re-
gained its hold upon our people,
North or South. Ii has been re-es-
tablished much less in the South than
in the North, but the growth of COM
mercialism has blighted it to very
noticeable degree there.
1t is conceded that the people of
the South are, as a rule, more senti-
mental than their fellow-citizens of
the North. and | do not see why it is
that they have never returned to their
old time Independence Day fervor.
Sectionalism, even if it were not
now confined TO very small per cent
of our population, would not account
for this regrettable decline in demon
strative patriotism,
If the Declaration cf Independence
expressed and embodied the eonvie-
tions and determination of one see
ticn of the colonies more than those
of any ether the South was that sec
ton.
Its author was distinctivcly a
Southern man in his views of the true
theory and proper scope of the Gov
ernment. He established the school of
politics to which the South has adj
hered ever since its foundation. He
believed in and insisted upon the
strictest construction of the Constitu-
tion, the Jealous protection of the
fights of the States and the cearest
definition of the delegated powers of
the Federal Government.
The Fourth of July is as mrch the
South's day now as it ever was. In
fact, the South has stronger reason
than ever for clinging close to the
Declaration of Independence, because
she sill believes that the welfare of
the natlon Will be best protected and
promoted by travelling in the straight
and narrow way that leads to the sal
vation of the ideas of government,
State and Federal, for which Jeffer
son mfalteringly stood and unceas-
ingly pleaded.

have every hope of the passage
by the Senate next session of the ON
nibus Territorial bill, for / cannot con-
ceive of anyone with brain enough to
represent any State and with justice
enough to get votes from any State
Legislature voting against the inde-
pendenee of his fellow men.
One county in Arizona alone under
statehood is worth more to the United
States. more TO the business interests
of the country, than the whole of the
Philippine Islands. And if every
hundred dollars spent in the Philip
pines had been spent in the develop
ment of the Western country it
would have netted us millions. The
contemplation Of the benefcent results
staggers the Imagination.
The next important piece of legis-
lation which is now law was the
passage Of the bill providing for the
reclamation of the arid lands. This
law means not only rapid develop
ment of the arid land region, but it
will do more to increase the manufac-
turing industries of the East than
any other measure enacted into law
during the session just closed.

prosperous to indulge in patriotic
emotions such as to the men and
women Of that time were as natural
as their life breathe If we have
reached that stage of stately repcse
there is little of the romance of ma
tional life left for lis. While the
glamour is going can we be quite sure
that the substance is still retained in
all its purity and preciousness
When the author of Ecce Homo
wrote: mo heart is pure without pas
sion; no virtue is safe without en-
thusiasm," he expressed an eternal
and far-reaching truth.
The best patriotism is glad, Jubi-
liant, passionate patriotism. 1t would
be very sad to think that this brand
is going out of fashion.
1t is the theory of some of our
greatest and most useful churches
that rcvivals Of religion are necessary
now and then to keep the church
healthy and vigorous. Are not reviv-
ais Of patriotism excellent things to
havei That brush with Spain brought
on one that did the country good
through and through.
For the first time in nearly fifty
years the genuine old hallelujah mu-
sic of the Union resounded from Bos
ton to Savannah, and from San Fran
cisco to the stumps of Maine.
We of the South and they of the
North as we marched shoulder to
shoulder, now to ''Dixie" and the next
minute to yankee Doodle" were
both ashamed that we had ever said
mean things to each other and about
each other after our family fight,
which had to come some time or other.
Many of us don't know the Dee,ara-
ton of Independence as well as we
should. Every father in the United
States ought to teach it to his son "by
heart and in the best sense of the
term. The father would learn it him
self while teaching the boy, and thus
double the value of the lesson.
How that unrivaled proclamation
must have made the little three mil
lions who said amen to it and deter
mined to die by it if need be, bigger
ard more formidable in the eyes Of
despots the world over.
No nation ever before or since had
its cause so superbly pleaded and tie
The Washington times., 1902-07-04

In my Judgment, the most impor-
tant bill passed by the House of Rep
resentatives during the session just
ended was the omnibus Territorial
bill. The delay i'll the admission of
the Territories of Arizona and New
Mexico to statehood is ineXcusable.
True. | have secured the passage of
INV bill three times in the House, the
purpose being the admission of Ari-
zona to statehood, but this is the first
time it passed through a Republican
House. The leaders of the majority
were against the omnibus Territorial
bill to admit Arizona, New Mexico,
and Oklahoma to the sisterhood of
States, but enough patriotic Repub-
licans were found to join the solid
Democratic vote in carrying out the
pledge contained in both national
platforms.
The Territories Of Arizona and
New Mexico have been the football of
party caprice and have been used for
political purposes for more than a
dozen years. OF the six recently ad-
mitted States only two have been rs
well qualified by wealth and popula-
ton as Arizona was at the time of

THE FLAG.

A flag swung high on rampant bold
And the soldiers it blow;
And the sun went down and the stars came out.
And the field died the battle shout,
While the sentres paced to and fro.
A bell toed firm in the midday air,
And flag fiuttered over the trees,
And the people gazed with proud demean
On the flag that Haunted the starry thirteef,
High in the midsummer breeze.
The stars have grown since that faroff Ga,
And the stripes true and bright
And over the country they sweep afar-
Gallant each stripe and gallant each star
Shining by day and by night.
A single bell tolled in the long ago,
To rally the brave little band
Where chimes peal in the stiffening breeze
And shouts ring joyously the seas.
And flags wave over the land.

In the separation of the young men

blow to co-education has been given.

is that of co-instruction. The broad and

The coal output OF Texas mines
last year was 1 JOY, 953 short tons,
valued at nearly two million dollars.
This shows an increase of $50, 1858
tons over the total production of
coal in the state ten years earlier.
As yet, he coal industry in this
state is comparatively limited, and
only in the infancy of its develop
meut. New discoveries of coal and
Ignite veins are being made every
once in a while, and when fully
developed, Texas coal mines may
rival her oil wells in furnishing
the world with fuel.

The HERALD, which called forth
such a sweeping condemnation
from such paper as the Galveston
News, was Incorporate 1t may
be that the editor let his scorn for
the man whose politics are infu-
enced by sordid motives incite his
pencil to use more bitter words
than the editor himself really
meant. Yet nevertheless, The
HERALD feels that the News has
been exceedingly unjust to this pa
per in IFS reply. The HERALD may
be mistaken in its Judgment of
itself, but it has always believed
itself to be rather conservative and
has cherished the idea-perhaps a
deluded Oue-that it was at least
just and liberal in its treatment Of
men and affairs, as rule. 1t seems
that the exchange editor of the
News takes casual glance at the
small fry exchanges of that prper,
and as often as not singles out their
worst, Instead of their best, expires
sions and pays them his respects
in the style above indicated. At
any rate, it is a fact that since the
News transferred its exchange
department to Dallas, The HERALD
has never received kindly word
from it, though the lamented
estate Press" of former dayS-the
we'll beloved Hamilton Stuart, who
was always kind and charitable to
the little fellows Of he Texas
press. frequently gave us pat on

lHt intend to do a real injury to
The HERALD or It's editor, but he
must admit that such remark
from such a source as the News, as
"THE HERALD is just the paper to
hang somebody" Is calculated to
prejudice many persons against
this paper, and also against Its
editor. The latter has friends and
