The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-05-31


town. We can see no reason for the
opposition of the Bulletin save possibly
the thought that it might raise the
salary of the postmaster. We assure
the Bulletin that this is not the case,
but that the salary is based upon the
total receipts without any regard to
free delivery. In fact the decrease
in the amount of box rents would
have tendency to decrease the
receipts, and consequently the salary,
for the first year at least. If Deni-
son, under the rulings of the depart
ment, is entitled to free city delivery
it wants it and it ought to have it.
No personal grudge, or personal gain
ought to stand in the way.
THE UNRECONSTRUCTED POST
The Fort Dodge Post devotes much
space to an answer to the Review s
Memorial Day article, and to de-
tense of States Rights and the sup
preston of the negro vote in the
South. The editor of the Post has
shifted his position on many things
during the course of his unsuccessful
career, but in one thing he has al
ways been steadfast; he has always
been Copperhead. His sympathies
have always been entirely with the
South and with the old institutions
of the South just as much as
when he ran an "anti- North.s paper
down in Arkansas.
The editor of the Post quotes free
ly from Abraham Lincoln. President
Lincoln may have said that only the
states had the right to free the
slaves. Nevertheless it was the hand
of Abraham Lincoln that signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. We do
not care what Lincoln may have said,
i the great fact of what he did is
enough for us.
| We agree with Lincoln that whatever
concerns the Nation should be under
National control, and that whatever
concerns ONLY the state should be
under state control. The opinion
comedies entirely with what the Re-
view has already said concerning the
matter.
We claim that when New Jersey
licenses a corporation to prey upon
the people Of the United States, that
it is not ONLY the state that is
effected. We claim that when one
of the old slave states disfranchise S
the negro and places the election of
members of the National House of
Representative in the hands of few
white men, it is not an affair that
concerns ONLY the state. We claim
that the absurd divorce laws of the
South Dakota effect not South Da-
kota alone, but the morals of the
entire Nation. We further protest
that, although it may take consti
tutional amendment to do it, thi!
country will never be able properly
to control the evils of monopoly unit
the various states laws are succeeded
by strong and effective National legis
lation that shall have effect and force
in every transaction and in every incl
of territory, and jurisdiction in ever,
court.
The Review does not care to inter
fere in those matters which concern
only the state. The Modern method.
of business and modern invention.
have however drawn us so closely to-
gether as people, that The things
which concern one state only are
growing rapidly less.
In conclusion it is most natura
and fitting that the editor of the Pos
should defend the right of rebellion.
One could not expect him to go bach
on his record entirely. If he SHOULD
give free expression to his sentiments
he would defend the Acts of Secession
and all that the South did, in the CO.'S
He would further support and defent
: the sacred institution of slavery
The veneer of Northern Democrat
is very thin with the editor of thu
Post. At heart he is as "unrecon
structed" as any southern brigadier
He should never have left his believe,
Arkansas.
