THE MAJORITY RULE.

The Mansfield Journal says: THE
contention is made by some of the op-
ponents Of reducing the power of the
Governor that no harm has yet come tc
the State by an abuse of the executive
patronage, because it has been welded
by honest and prudent officers. This
phase of the patronage question doe.
not cover all the issues and is not de-
batable; because no one disputes the
correctness of the assertion The oppo-
nents of excessive patronage wish to
smash the political machine which has
been in existence in Baton Rouge for
the past ten years, so that one Demo
crat will have the same rights that an
other has, and to- do this every Demo-
crat must have a voice in the party
nominations. Not a candidate for a
State Office will have the effrontery to
tell the people from the stump that the
Governor has not too much patronage.
AXE away part of than patronage and
the machine would go to pieces Then
the majority would rule and the State
would not be governed by coterie of
politicians as it is now. A change can
not be effected through the convention
method

country, the messages of the presidents

lures, the declarations of political con-
ventions, and, in fact, by the entire po-
litlcal history of the United States up
to the Civil War.
1T is not for the past that I would
fight, but for the future 1t is not for
ourselves but for our children. The I'm
just brand of the rebel must be removed
from the innocent and placed where it
belongs. 1t is a bat1le which must be
fought, and if it is to be won, it must
be through the Sons of Confederate
Veterans and the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. 1t is for them to perpetuate
all that is noble and grand and manly
in the history of their fathers and fore
fathers, and to keep ever in mind and
bring>to the eye of all the world the
history, the true history, Of the sConfed-
eracy, and the causes, the real causes,
which led up to the war between the

JUDGE REAGAN AND THE
SOUTH

One OF the greatest living figures in
| the South today is Judge Reagan OF
Texas, who was the postmaster-general
of the Confederate States, and is the on
ly surviving member of Jefferson Davis
Cabinet. Judge Reagan is IS years old
and yet he is strong in body and active
in mind, the record of whose life is as
ISOLATED with many of the stirring
events which give lustre to the history
of the United States. The closing of his
years are being devoted to an historical
narrative, which, when completed, will
prove to be one of the most interesting
of the record which must relieve the
South and her valiant sons of the stain
of dishonor which prejudieed North,
moved in spirit of hatred and he1lish
vindictiveness, would place upon them
But the South and her sons have no
apology to offer nor explanation to
make and will stand on their record in
the defense of the Constitution as it was
handed down by the fathers of the Re-
public.
However, among the great men of the
South Judge Reagan occupies position
from which he will command attention
as a defender of all that which is dear
and sacred to Southern men and woni-
en-, which has no commercial value nor
can be misconstrued or misapplied for
the sake of the dollar.
In an interview published in the
Picayune of Monday. May IS, Judge
Reagan said:
Il am not fighting the Civil War over
again. God forbid that I should say one
word to revive the dying embers of pas
sion and prejudice. What I would do,
and what | would have all true South
erners do, is to preserve the true, loyal
spirit of the Confederacy, and take
positive stand against the perversion of
the history Of the conflict and its causes.

stain of those who would brand them
as the offspring of rebels and traitors.
Rather would / today again take up the
battle and go forth with the loyal heart
of one who felt at the root of his very
soul the justice Of the cause we fought
for. We of the South were not traitors,
but the patriots not those who sought
to tear down the Constitution, but to
uphold it.. We did not seek for war,
but fought against it until it was so
forced upon rs that we would not have
been worthy of the name of free men
had we not have defended the sacred
rights which had been guaranteed TO us.

Diseases Known BY Numbers,

In the larger city hospitals the
young doctors on the house staff and
the visiting physicians never use the
nine or ten syllable words that they
employ in making report of clinic
for medical journal or at meeting
of the County Medical society. They
refer to diphtheria as case of dip"
in some hospitals, and other COM
plants. such as typhoid fever or pneu-
monia, are abbreviated in the same
way, so that the physicians and nurses
understand them, even if relatives who
visit the patients do not. But in most
of the hospitals numbers are substi
tuted for names. The visiting physi-
clan is told that a patient is suffering
from a case of No. /, No. 2, or No.
3, meaning thereby Smallpox, typhoid
fever, or diphtheria, respectively. AS
such they 60 down on the hospital
books.
