the South, for which the North was re-
sponsible There is no more inspiring
story than that of the reconstruction
of the South by itself Which is typi-
cal of the South: the shameful deed of
mob or the steady, persistent ad-
vance of industrial reform, of popular
education, of city making, of literature
and the arts, of charity and philan-
thropy.
Is Chicago in position to throw
stones? Has the Windy City nothing
to learn from the despised South?
Look at the way Chicago has mud llec

with the splendid municipal terminals

is, as a certain Venetian 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 politics of
nation; its municipal government has
been sordid and corrupt; what did
Chicago ever do in a conservative way
to advance the political thinking Of
America or help forward-looking meG
to better things? Nothing at all; in
the real of political construction
Chicago has been as barren as 8
stretch of alkali desert unde. a blaz-
ing sun. But look at little Galveston,
few years since stricken by one of
the worst disasters in history; YET

pets and ocean combined could no.
tada;, not only to build city lmprea-
nable in face of the wrath of Nature
but also to fashion city government
on new principles, where honesty ard
efficiency might come into their own.
The one great contribution to the
practical art of city government made
by the United States since the birth of
the nations came out of the Far South.

CHICAGO TRADUCES THE SOUTH,

The Chicago Tribune, journa
which calls itself THE Worlds Great
est Newspaper" apropose of a lynch,
ing in Georgia, launches this diatribC
at the entire South;
The South is backward. 1t
shames the United States by illit-
eracy and incompetency It's hill
men and poor whites, its masses
of feared and bullied blacks, it's
ignorant and violent politicians,
its rotten industrial conditions
and it's rotten social ideas exist in
circumstances which disgrace the
United States in the thought of
Americans and in the opinion of
foreigners.
The South is half educated. 1t
is a region of illiteracy, blatant
self-righteousness, cruelty, and
violence. Until it is improved by
the invasion of better blood and
better ideas it will remain a re-
proach and danger to the Amer
lean Republic.
The Tribune is backward, AS a,
American newspaper it shames tn
United States by it's ignorance an,
incompetence. Its blatant self-right
eousness passes belief. Until it i
improved by the invasion of a bette
spirit and better ideas it will remain
reproach and a danger to a true ma
tionalism. But its sentiments wit
regard to the South must be typical Q
community opinion, since otherwis
they would have met with public an
concerted rebuke from Chicagos cit
izenship.
When the Civil War broke out tn
North was rich; the South, thanks t
an industrial system which was a
mistaken economically sit was wron
morally, was poor. The war stimulat
ed the North and prepared it for tn
conquest of the New West; it pros
trated and bankrupted the South. AT
ter the war the North was as it ha
been before; the South was land il
ruins Not only its capital was gone
its institutions were to rebuild, OF
new and better foundations. And Will
the South stood so bitterly in need tn,
laws of the United States were shapes
to benefit the protected manufacturer
of the North at the expense of the ag

esteemed Tribune, in the Medill days
used to argue powerfully for a low
tariff between campaigns; then, wher
the time for action came, it Away.

Humphreys in Town..
Speaks If Ship Purchase Bill.

Congressman Ben Humphreys of the
river district was in Grenada for few
hours Wednesday between trains. Mr.
Humphreys was on his return from the
State University where he had been to
deliver an address to the 600 students
of that institution on the invitation of
Chancellor Powers.
Mr.. Humphreys is regarded as one of
the most effective congressman in Mis-
sissippi and is unusually popular among
his fellow congressman at Washington.
In talking to party of friends while
at the hotel he stated that he regarded
the failure of the last Congress to pass
the Ship Purchase bill advocated by
President Wilson as calamity to the
farmers of the South. Using this il
lustration. he stated that "if cotton
were worth a certain price in Memphis,
the buyer here would pay the Memphis
price less the freight Likewise, said
Mr.. Humphreys, "If man buys cot
ton here based on prices across the
ocean. he offers here the price acros:
the ocean less the freight to the desti-
nation over there.
He stated that the freight before
the wal on cotton was 81 so per bale
and now it is $500 per bale. In Other
words, it appears that had the Shil
Purchase bill passed that cotton woulC
be bringing at least 3 cents more pei
pound and its failure to pass had cos
! the cotton makers $3.50. 900, 900.
