in DEFENSE OF THE SOUTH.
Reply to James y. Anderson's Article
on the Attitude of the
Southern People.

To the Editor of The Gate City,:
In the Sunday Gate City noted an
article written by Mr.. Jas. H. Ander-
son regarding the attitude of the peo-
pie of the south toward the people of
the north.
| Now all people who are willing to
be broad-minded and reasonable in
their views of the civil war and the
southern people, admit that while the
war was our greatest national calam-
ity, the men of the south had the
same right 20 fight for their honest
convictions that the men of the north
had.
It is true that we still have some
people both in the north and south,
who are still nursing that old section
al hatred that was caused by the civil
war. I have found this no less true
in some sections of the north than
Mr. Anderson seems to have found 1t
in Texas. We find more or less mar
rowness and unkind criticism of this
kind advanced by those who are not,
very familiar with the real conditions
in the south.
The men who fought for home, for
loved ones and for native land for a
cause that was as sacred to them as
was the union cause to the federal sol
der, were no less traitors to their
country and to her best interests than
any one who voices or approves the
sentiments advanced in Mr.. Ander-
sons article of Sunday.
Mr. Anderson refers not only to
Texas, but to other southern states as
well. He must certainly not be very
familiar with the great character ana
patriotism of the southern people, as
a people, or he has deliberately chos-
en- to present a very narrow. one-sided
view of the subject. Mr.. Anderson
must know that such anarchistic ideas
as his article contained has kept the
old fire burning and has never caused
young life to be more loyal or more
true to the beautiful and the good,
and that such ideas are not conducive
to that universal feeling of unity and
patriotic devotion to native land that
must eventually bind us and hold US
together as one,
When you strike a mans family
you strike him to the heart. When
you strike the south you strike the
Union, because we are part of it.
/ therefore see no distinction or diff
ference between Mr.. Anderson's criti-
cisms of our people and the foolish ut
teranceS of a few southern illiterates
except Mr.. Anderson should know bet
ter and they did not.
| think it is right and just that we
should pension our soldiers literally.
The men of the south we're left in
more destitute circumstances at the
close of the war than were the men
of the north and they were therefore
in greater need of help We have not
only pensioned our Confederate veter-
ans, but we have also borne our part
of the federal Indebtedness caused by
the war. We have also paid millions
of dollars in federal pension money to
the very men who came down to lick
u.s. The risht of the federal govern
ment has long been questioned by
some of the best men, both north and
south.
| think all loyal Americans should
be glad of the privilege of having a
part in the making of the last days Of
