The great historic edifices of

the great historic edltices OF
America.
There is a change of capitols
that is all. Mississippi remains
the same in political principles,
courage, manhood and honor it
has ever been. It's people can
read its history with profit and
live over the past in the light Of
the present.
''In that state a halfscentury
ago the highest development of
southern agriculture was reached;
here was laid the foundations of
the wealth Of the south as a pro,
ducer of cotton. Texas turns out
q larger crop today, but it was
Mississippi that blazed the way,
thai reached the highest yield per
acre; that turned out for twenty
years the largest cotton crop of
any southern state. Nor did it
stop at cotton; nor contine itself
to any single product. In the de-
cade before the civil War it led
the south in the variety of its
crops, and in the tifties it led the
union as the most productive
agricultural state, it's farm and
plantation output exceeding that
of any commonwealth north, south
or west. 1t raised it's own food
aud did not have to buy of the
west it's grain, lis pork or It's
beef; in fine, it feed and clothed
its own people and millions in
Europe. The agricultural pros
perity of today is thus but the
new birth OF an older prosperity
when Mississippi was the boast
of every American farmer.
"But not in material prosperity
alone was it great in those days
of old. No state played proud
er part in the affairs of the south
and of the nation: in the stormy
period preceding the civil war,
and when the south broke its
bonds of union and proclaimed
itself a new republic, it was from
among the statesmen of Mississip-
pi that it chose the head of its
new government.
''In the new south, as in the old
south, it has been always lead
Ell 1t was first of the southern
states to find solution of the
problem thai congress had so
badly failed over-negro suffrage
and it laid before the world a
plan for muzzling the Infamous
war amendments. which Louisi.
ana, North Carolina, Alabama and
Virginia have since adopted, and
which the north is finally but re-
lactantly accepting. 1t has set
an example to the whole nation
in establishing the purest of
democracies, in destroying the
possibilities of bosses, rings and
political jobbery, in replacing all
power and nominations in the
hands of the people and thus re-
storing to them the government,
which comes from and belongs
to them but which has been
wrested from the people of New
York by "Boss'' Platt, from the
people of Pennsylvania by"Boss"
Quay. and from the people of half
the other states by similar poll
tical trieksters. The Mississippi
doctrine of primaries, declaring
for true democracy and an appeal
directly to the people, has spread
to Texas, to Louisiana, to Ala
bama, and now prevails in nearly
every state of the south; and even
Minnesota and Michigan have
fallen into line behind it,"
