Only Narrow Souls Decry
Popularity of Dixie"

Why is there still so much sec
tional spirit between the North and
the South, these five and 40 years
after the conflict between the states
divided by the line of Mason and
Dixon has come to an end? When an
official of the federal government in
the course of a scientific inquiry de-
cided the familiar air of Dixie"
which North and South and East and
West long ago learned to love. is just
little bit more popular than the roll
licking Yankee Doodle" an air that
dates back to old New England train
ing days, why should the North take
the decision with wry face?
Any argument as to the cause under
lying the difference of opinion is, of
course, perfectly just and legitimate,
but it is strange that so much rancor
should be poured forth upon the head
OF the man who simply announced his
finding as to the relative popularity
of the melody of the South and the
melody of the North. The people of
states north of the Potomac and north
of the Ohio, as well as the people OF
states west of the Mississippi and be-
yond the Rockies, will cheer and clap
for Joy just as soon as the first sweet
bars of Dixie" are swelling.
The New York World not long ago
went into this popular song contro-
versy with considerable length and
particularly, eventually concluding
that the marks of popularity accorded
to Dixie" had become a habit "im-
posed largely by the insistence OF a
small but persistent minority: but
whose fault is this? Dixie" is as
rousingly received at the New England
seaside resorts as it is in Virginia or
Georgia. Is the government officially
responsible for such spontaneous out
bursts of sympathetic appreciation as
that?
Why, we are lead to ask, should the
popularity of Dixie" be Objectionable
to this rather touchy Northern
element any more than the general
Northern habit of coming to Florida
in the winter? Nobody South has
thought of Directing when South
erners able to afford the luxury of the
outing took a cool Northern journey
in the summer.
Not yet are we persuaded that the
most broadminded and reasonable of
Northern people have permitted them
selves to wax sore and hateful over
the manifest favor with which Dixie,
the beloved melody of thousands OF
tune-loving hearts the country through,
| seems to have taken the palm of pop
ularity away from Yankee Doodle -
The whine about "a rebel song" does
not come from the most enlightened
Northern men and women. 1t comes,
we hazard the statement, from people
who believe that to be sectionally mar
row is the best mode of expressing
patriotism.
Many such people existed both
| North and South for a decade or two
| after peace was made between the
Union and the Confederacy, but the
ranks of these narrow partisans is
thinning. They are bound to be obso-
lete in time, and when their race dis
appears we shall hear no more carping
because the song that speaks of the
South has topped in the hearts of the
American people the song that was
written at slightly earlier period for
the festive training ground of New
| England.

The investigation of the Atlanta
stockade has thus, early in the delib-
erations brought to light most
damnable state of affairs in one of the
most intelligent and supposedly one of
the most decent of Southern cities.
Whipping of white women was a pun
ishment of daily occurrence; and the
hanging of women by their fingers to
the rings for hours, until nature
brought the only possible relief in the
form OF faint, was common. The
disclosures of the convict lease system
were almost unbelievable In their tale
OF extreme cruelty and brutality, but

are coming out now. The wonder is
that in bright and philosophical At
lanta, whose people are, as a general
matter, proud of the repute of their
city, such a state of affairs as that
which has this week been recited to
the committee should have been per-
mitted to continue unprobed. Every
thing in connection with this stockade
business that can be dug from willing
and unwilling witnesses should be
known, and the man or men proved
to be personally responsible for such
devilish punishments as are already
alleged should be adequately dealt
with.

One sign of the dawning of a better
day in this country is the rapidly in
creasing disgust with which the
cleaner, more progressive and more
wholesome element of the Republican
party is coming to regard Cannon and
Cannonism. This must augur for i'm
proved conditions if the country will
but set itself resolutely to the task OF
reducing the evil as speedily as pos
sible. The uprising against the spe-
cial interests which the big cigar, far
worse weapon than the big stick, pro,
tects, is now general and every day its
ranks are being recruited by cheerful
accessions from the forces of Congress-
men who not many months ago consid-
cred 1t too rough a treatment to be en-
listed with the insurgents. That Can
nonism has grown, gradually but eff.
fectively, to be a nonpartisan menace
is now the attitude of the great ma
jority Of thoughtful newspapers and
magazines, which contend, and with
logical propriety, that it is the duty
OF liberal Republicans as well as of
Democrats to work for the wiping out
of the cornbelt statesman and his IN
terest-subsidized cronies in Congress.
And the old autocrat of the House, We
take it, sees the handwriting on the
wall and perhaps he is not facetious
when he says a man who has just
celebrated his 18TH birthday is old
enough to drop the political life.
