The cry Of sectionalism was heard

jected to the reign Of the bourbon
political despotism-
True It is that prior TO the great
civil war there was developed, here
and there, a tendency OF Independence
among the masses and immigration
brought to some Of these States south
of the Ohio many men inclined to
revolt and prticularly in the noun
tain counties of Kentucky, Tennessee
ana Alabama there were those who
hoped for disenthrallment from the
dictatorial reign Of bourbonism. These
men of the common people. and here
and there a more thoughtful and sane
slave owner. were not so yielding to
the arrogant domination Of the slave
holding oligarchy. It was from the
hearts and homes Of these brave men
that eminated opposition TO and pro-
test against the revolutionary and
fiery movement Of secession, that was
precipitated by the slave controlling
interests, and be It to the credit of
these brave and patriotic men, who
dared 10 aspire to a true democracy,
that their contentious and express
sions for Just principles was the plant
ing Of the seed from which has
sprung a strong growth of sentiment
for popular government until now
there are thousands in the South who
are come to believe that real democ-
racy means that the people shall rule
and that an actual democrat is one
who insists that a fair and honest
ballot should be inviolate In their
hands. The power Of the oligarchy
over the whole people Of Alabama was
not so strong, in fact, at the verge
Of the war ( the Rebellion, for the
managers Of the secession cause dared
not to refer the Ordinance Of Secs
sion back to the people for ratifca-
ton. The putting of Alabama out Of
the Union was by a method that is
tainted with the usual shadow Of po-
litical force lowering over the achieve
ments Of the leaders who have. more
than once. brought question and dis
honor to the name Of the so-called
democracy OF the South. Secession
by Alabama was not, indeed. popular
expression Of the public viii at the
time. The fiery and adroit appeals
to the masses finally worked up the
people to Indulgence in this radical
course. Strange 1t may appear that
the system of chattel slavery in the
South should produce a political
condition in which the 35e,000
slave owners dictated to and
dominated over the 100000 whites
of this section at that time Strange
It is, but passing strange VIII

Cruel and inhuman practices are al
legged In statement given out today
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
against the eastern doctors who per-
aist In sending dying cases Of con-
sumption to the Southwest. i
Fully 7,1s0 persons hopelessly dis
eased with tuberculosis annually
come to die in the states of CalifOr-
mia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and
Colorado, most Of them by order of
their physicians. The statement,
which is based up on the testimony
of wen known experts, and all avail
able statistics, shows that at least SO
per cent of those who go to the South
west every year for their health are
50 far advanced In their disease, that
they cannot hope for a cure in any
climate, under any circumstances.
More than this, at least so per cent
of these advanced cases are so poor
that they have not sufficient means
to provide for the proper necessities
Of life, which means that 4,S15 con-
sumpdves are either starved to death,
or forced to accept charitable relief
every year.
It is not an uncommon thing, the
National Association declares, for
whole families, who can hardly exc
out a living in the East to migrate
to the West in the hope Of saving the
life Of some member Of the family.
In most instances, the abject poverty
of such cases forces them 10 beg, or
to live ON very low level. Often con-
sunptives who cannot AFFORD the
proper travelling accommodations are
found dead on the trains before
reaching their destination. The re-
sources of almost every charitable or
ganization in the Southwest are drain
ed every year to care for cases which
would be self-supporting in their East

When a-member Of some other faith
our race commits a crime. he Is re-

who does wrong Is always regarded
not so much as an individual as a
member Of the Jewish race. The Jew
who commits wrong thus not only
commits a crime against the nation
as a whole. but he commits a particu-
lar crime against his own kindred.
'The masses Of Jews in this country

that they shun members OF the race
