ment on matter of finances, not a

It's so. Think it over.
From a standpoint of pleasant
ness and good fellowship, there is
no room for argument.
We had better catch the spirit of
the age before we get lost in the
shuttle.
We had better begin to do some
thing while there is structure to
build upon.
Is the town inviting to the
stranger?
What are our inducements to
new citizens?
Have we really enough pleasur-
able and profitable things to hold
what we have?
What about our public institu-
tions? Are they being upheld by
personal support? There are some
debts, you know, that money can
not pay.
Where are our public gatherings?
Have we no other invitation to
the public than that we give the
people their moneys worth?
Is not this town badly in debt to
itself?
What goes on when our own
people congregate themselves?
These are plain questions which
the Record, as public journal and
public friend, has for itself and for
its home people.
The editor of this paper loves
Evening Shade.
That's why he's talking.

The daily papers are not taking
kindly to Andrew Carnegie's plan

are no ex-presidents among the

President Taft announced last
week that he would not be the re-

however, cures much, and after a
while there came a democratic ad-
ministration of four years, and then
another one of four years. South
erners were called to federal office,
they came to have more influence
in the halls of congress and in the
senate, and the responsibility of the
government brought with it closer
relationship to it and to all the
people for whom the government
was carried on.
| speak for my immediate repub-
lican predecessors in office when |
say that they all labored to bring
the sections more closely together.
| can say that, so far as in me
has lain, have left nothing undone
to reduce the sectional feeling and
to make the divisions of this our
country geographical only. But
am free to admit that circumstances
have rendered it more difficult for a
administration than for
a democratic administration to give
to our southern brothers and sisters
the feeling of close relationship and
ownership in the government Of
the United States. Therefore, in
solving the mystery of that provi-
Dental dispensation which now
brings on a democratic administra-
ton to succeed this, we must admit
the good that will come to the
whole country in more confirmed
sense of partnership in this govern
ment which our brothers and sisters
of the southland will enjoy in an
administration in which southern
opinion will naturally have greater
influence, and the south greater
proportionate representation In the
cabinet, in congress, and in other
high official stations. While | re-
joice in the steps | have been able
to take to heal the wounds Of Sec
tionalism and to convey to the
southern people, as far as could,
my earnest desire to make this
country one, | can not deny that
my worthy and distinguished sue
cessor has greater opportunity,
and doubt not he will use it for
the benefit of the nation at large.
1t fell to my official lot, with uni
versal popular approval, to issue
the order which made It possible 10
erect, in the national cemetery at
Arlington, the beautiful monument
to the heroic dead of the south
that you founded today. The event
in itself speaks volumes as to the
oblivion of sectionalism. 1t gives
me not not only great pleasure end
great honor, but it gives me the
greatest satisfaction as a lover OF
my country to be present, as presi-
dent Of the United States, and pro-
nounce upon this occasion the ben
ediction of all true Americans.
