the political history of the state of Mis-
sissippi. touching here and there ON
national politics and ending with
conservative statement of President
Taft ; grave errors in dealing with the
Negro question, the author has illu-
mined in Il most effective fashion some
Of the most interesting pages OF Amer
lean political history.
The recital of the story of recon
struction is in parts dramatic and in
parts tragic. The strategy of designing
politicians worked an appalling trag
edy in the life of the ambitious Negro
leader during the reconstruction pc
riod and especially in 1874. when the
radical Democrats came into power
throughout the southern states. The
conditions described so vividly We're
lamentable, illustrating the awful ca
lamities suffered by the weaker ele-
ment of the body polite at the hands
Of the stronger.
But Major Lynch is not a pessimist.
He Is a man With great vision. He
has seen the dawn OF a new age when
each mans good shall be all mems
aim.' We of this age may be little
apathetic about such matters as are
set forth in the book, but it would be
well for us to read over and over again
what this wise observer has written
concerning our past. The book pre-
sents facts rs the author has witnessed
them. His study OF the political situa
tion Is both analytical and intensive
He is a student of psychology. His Is
the advocacy of civil and political
rights of all citizens.
Major Lynch entered pubic life
While quite young man. 1t was In
1863 that Governor Ames appointed
him Justice Of the peace In the city OF
Natchez. Miss. He showed splendid
executive ability and was soon pro
Noted by the people to a seat in the
stnte legislature. His has been bril-
liant career. There Is hardly Negro
in the entire country whose past life
has been SO closely connected with the
construction period and who is more
highly esteemed in the councils of the
Republican party today as is John r.
Lynch. While he was serving In the
national house of representatives he
WIS a leader of powerful influence.
He was once honored by the national
Ecpublican convention as temporary
ohairman. He has served as auditor
II The United States treasury and pay
raster in the United States army.
liecause OF his close contact with the
great leaders in the Republican party
and with the problems in political life
for the past forty years Major Lynch
IS well qualified to write intimately
cCncerning the subject treated in his
book.
There Is no way Of accounting for the
wonderful sagacity and wisdom mani
fcstel by our people during the recon
struction period How they learned so
quickly to conceive and plan legisla
ton OF such farreaching Importance Is
II r,uzzle. but that they legislated wise

states do attest. The administration of

hercd that thc race had no historians

enemies.
