There IS no more shameful
story than that of the recon
struction" at the South, for which
the North was responsible. There
is no more inspiring story than
that ofsthe reconstruction of the
South by itself. Which is typical
Of the South: the shameful deed
of . mob or the steady, persistent
advance Of industrial reform, of
popular education, of city making,
literature and the arts, of charity
and philanthropy?
Is Chicago in a position to throw
stones? Has the Windy City
nothing to learn from the despised
South? Look at the way in which
Chicago has muddled her termi-
nal situation and compare it with
the splendid municipal terminals

politicians" is, as a certain Vene-
tan gentleman once remarked,
hypocrisy against the devil"
Can the South match Bath House
John and Hinky Dink? Has the
South ever equaled the Lorimer
scandal? Yet Lorimer, came
from the great and good City OF
Chicago.
Chicago has, through Lorimer,
brought disgrace upon the poll
tics Of a nation; its municipal gov
eminent has been sordid and cor
rupt; what did Chicago ever do
in a construction way to advance
the political thinking of America
or help forward-looking men to
better things? Nothing at all; in
the realm of political construction
Chicago has been as barren as a
stretch of alkali desert under a
blazing sun. But look at little
Galveston, a few years since
stricken by one of the worst
disasters in history; yet setting
out, with a courage that tempest
and ocean combined could not
daunt, not only to build a city i'm
pregnable in face of the wrath OF
Nature but also to fashion a city
government on new principles,
where honesty and efficiency
might come into their own. The

practical art of city government

ABSURD PROPOSED BOYCOTT.

The following editorial from a recent
issue Of the Jackson Evening News so thor
oughly comedies with our views as to the
proposed boycott Of the Chicago merchants
that the same is reproduced in The Com
monwealth in order to give the sentiments
expressed therein our most cordial indorse-
ment:
The recent scathing arraignment of the
entire South by the Chicago Tribune is being
used by wholesale merchants in other North
ern and Western y9:g cities to pull trade away
During the past few days the Daily
News has received a large amount of liter
allure, most of it sent out anony-
mously, calling direct attention to the
Tribune editorial, and intimating very
strongly that the people of the South should
not %patronize the business men of a COM
munity from which such slanderous utter
ances emanate.
st. Louis has been especially active in
trying to establish a boycott against Chicago
throughout the South, and has no doubt
succeeded in taking away a considerable
volume of trade from that city.
Frankly, we do not approve of tactics
of this sort. While the Tribune editorial
did arouse deep resentment throughout the
South, and justly so, the people who cherish
this resentment should not lose their sense
of proportion.
The Tribune editorial did not voice the
sentiments of the people of Chicago. It was
merely the expression Of an editorial writer
on that paper, and it is doubtful whether
there is a business man in the entire CITY
who approved the u~tterance. Certainly. It
was not an expression of the sentiments Of
the leading business men of the community,
as is evidenced by the following letter
written to the editor of the Tribune by John
v. Farwell, the foremost fnancier of
Chicago:
while no one deplores and condemns more
than | do the act of the mob that murdered Leo. M.
Frank, and those of the South or North who sup
ported that act, l cannot think that your editorial in
this mornings paper has done justice to either
North or South.
Il do not believe that the North thinks that
the South is half educated, or that it is a region Of
llateracy, blatant self-riQhteonsness, cruelty and
violence.
You cannot indict a whole people or a whole
religion.
Il desire to protest against the tone Of this
editorial. and trust something can be said by you
which viii show q fairer attitude Of mind towardI
this great section Of our country"
Mr.. FarwelPs opinion is the opinion of
Chicago's representative citizenship. Thel
Of the South by the Tribune isl
hardly more repfehensible than the attemptl
to aseassinate the business interests of I'll
