LOVING TIE NATION INTO
PEACE


Two notable events have occurred
within the present week to mark the
establishment Of a new sentiment in
the nation. and to further mark the
rapidly-departing sectional feeling ex-
isfing in this country since the civil
war.
It is always a pleasure to US TO
commend good things as well as %
criticise what we deem to be bad ones
with President Roosevelt. In fact as
we have stated many times we have
often found ourselves admiring him
one moment and Vice versa in the
very next.
It was fitting on the day that mark
ed the natal one Of George Washing
ton that he should have issued orders
replacing the name of Jefferson Davis
on John Cabin bridge near Washing.
ton The name of this illustrious
southerner, and one tine secretary Of
war under whose administl tion this,
The greatest single span bridge in the
world, was built, should never have
been chiseled from the tablet How
ever, that was done IN the heat of
,rreo+ af,.f1 ,,.. ,,,L,.,, tl,a ,,a,,,o ,,f no
Wis was hated as badly in the north
as was that of Lincoln in the south
and the people of both sections We're
allowing the flames of hatred to con
sumo them and we're engendering
degree of bitterness that forty years
have been trying to obliterate Bui
this order OF President Roosevelt sig
nalizes the lSindling Of tae more REIN
ing fires Of national life and the south
ern people in their very nature must
admire and fpplaud this executive ac-
ton.
The second event Of note was The
welcoming or the officers Of the globe
,rotting battleship feet in the Old CAP
itol Of the confederacy. j was appro
pirate that Mayor Richardson.
Richmond. in welcoming these distia
.uisaea naval officers 20 his city shouil
have said, we welcome you to tas
hearts Of the people who yield 60
one in devotion TO tn American nay,
nor in the loyalty to our flag" Tha
is The sentiment today IN sodthcn
hearts and in the minds Of The south
ern people. and that was the same
spirit that gave Joe Wheeler TO d
confederate army, and later rave hi
services 10 the union forces
when foreign foe had assailei j
1t is a healthy indication when sue
events as these two occur and
shows more distinctly than anythir
else that the long cherished prayer
Henry w. Grady is b ing realized, an
that the nation is being loved int
peace
