Considering that the truth alone
can be the basis Of true progress and
civilization it is astonishing how many
things that whining, hypocritical puri-
tan ancestor accomplished In his day.
In his original home in England he
had not been going many years be-
fore he cut off the head Of a king,
sent another king packing about his
business, and in other ways pursued a
policy Of direct action" that should
appeal enormously to w. d. Haywood.
Crossing the Atlantic, he helped to
lay the foundations Of an empire. For
a man who hated to call a spade a

could use that familiar Agricultural
implement. He used It to dig up the

habit OF carrying his fintlock into

Arrested Glory.

The part the South played in
the achievement OF independence
and in the organization and ad-
ministration of American Dem
ocracy In the early days OF the
Republic is beyond exasgsration.
Such historians as Bancroft and
Fiske have put beyond dispute the
claim that the South contributed
the largest share Of the patriot
ism and political genius which es-
tablished the nation.
The roots Of American civiliza-
ton, which has grown TO be so
vast and influential in modern
times, are mainly traceable 10 the
Southern colonies. The concert
Of colonial unity at the time Of
the revolution was rallied around
Virginia and the CarolinaE
Before the Pilgrims launched
the Mayhower, Virginia was an
established social and political
fabric with a representative as
sembly making laws for the gov
eminent OF a dominion twice as
large as the New England States.
It included the great Northwest
ern territory, out Of which have
been carved the seven splendid
commonwealths Of Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin.
North Carolina, Tennessee and
West Virginia.
In 1890 the Southern section con-
stituted in area and IN popula-
ton three tourths Of all that was
included under the terms Of the
Federal Constitution, At the time
the Constitution was adopted
there was no question Of the pre-
dominant responsibility Of this
section for the Republic. both as
to the principles on which It was
founded, the processes by which Il
was accomplished, and the ac-
tual administration Of its Gov
eminent.
For SO years the Southern
States furnished its Presidents IN
an unbroken line Of succession.
The hope Of liberty in the world
was raised in the heart Of hu-
mainly by this achievement. The
thought which then controlled the
Southern mind was universal In
its sympathy, and Southern men

were the worlds leaders in the
ideals Of democratic humanity
This is the background Of his
tory. against which we lift up the
question--"Can the South come
bsckT" For since 1850 the South
has taken but small part in the
large affairs Of the nation, and
In contributions to human inter
ests that are world wide. The
great glory Of the former day was
arrested and the South in this
broad sense Of influence and pow
or went into an eclipse which has
lasted for more than a half CEN
tury.
The Vital Questions.
The question to be pendered by
our political philosophers is
whether the present South is pre-
pared to take up where the old
South left of? Have we lost any
vital element OF civic and moral
capacity as a people in our will
derness Of political inactivity and
detachment from National oppor-
tunities? Has anything vital
been dropped out during the half
century OF Southern dlslocation
from responsibility in national
and world concerns?
These questions will not be an
swered fairly by the success or
failure Of the Woodrow Wilson
administration, but they will be
tested out in the history now
beginning. which Is calling such
distant attention to the South in
reference to National politics.
The ability of the Southern
people 10 come back positively as
actors in the affairs OF the whole
country will fnd its severest test
in our own local and sectional
civilization.
We cannot play a big part at
Washington permanently for ev-
erybody 70 recognize, IL we play
a little part at home for every
body to critieise.
Our ability to advance the civ
ilization Of the world as leaders
in It's greatest Republic will be
eventually measured by our abil-
ity to achieve a basis for great
influence in a noble civilization in
the states South Of the Potomac.
These are the vital questions
Southern men are now 10 consid-
er. The question Of education
q trained citizenship-the relief
OF illiteracy. The question OF
public breadth and sympathy-of
world consciousness-of realized
amenability 10 the esta blished
standards of Christian civiliza-
ton the world over.
True TO Ourselves.
The question is being true
OF all to ourselves-of faithful
introspection and self scrutiny
and Of intelligent self-criticism to
discover our own faults and the
sources OF our weaknesses. The
question OF ideals and leaders
the type OF Southern character to
be hung in the sky before our
childreA-the temper to be ex-
allied as the Southern temper
the point Of view TO be set UP
for the direction and control Of
Southern public opinion.
The South can come back and
stay back II these questions are
decided under the influence Of our
ante-bellum history. but the
South cannot come back and stay
at the front of American leader
ship IL our ideals are permitted to
take their color and quality from
the period in which the South has
been In the wilderness.
