Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1917-07-17

The lecture yesterday afternoon
was by Congressman Abercrombie of
Alabama. The congressman was
born after the war and lived his
childhood days amid the debacle of
reconstruction. His theme was "The
Old and the New South" and his
discussion of this subject was a foil
for the Vardaman address last year.
The problem of color was the great
issue for the entire nation. Begin
ming with the contributions of the
south to the history of the nation,
the congressman detailed the his
tory of the negro and repeated the
oft-told tale of the influences and
circumstances that brought on the
civil war. But for the introduction
of the cotton gin the slave would
have been emancipated by the south.
But cheap and quick way of sep
larating cotton seed from the lint
made slave labor valuable, which
fact perpetuated slavery and brought
on the war. The address claimed
that the negro is now being educated
and gradually enfranchised exactly
in line with the plan in Lincoln's
mind. The lecture tells how the ne
gro is disenfranchised according to
law. Voters in Alabama must be
able to read and write, must pay
taxes on certain amount of prop
ierty and must have paid poll tax

some three or four months, but he
is already well on the way towards
the mastery of our language.
Notwithstanding torrential rain
Saturday evening, the tent was half
full of people to hear John B. Ratio
and see his program of impersona-
lions. Mr.. Durieux and Mr.. Skjerne
rendered a brief prelude and then
for more than an hour, the time
seeming all too short, Mr.. Ratio held
the audience spellbound by real
magic done out in the open!
Mr.. Ratio began by turning him
self into a characteristic, old-fash-
toned American farmer, who told a
company of society folk at a fash
ionable ball, held at his sons city
home, how much he preferred the
old fashioned country dance. This
realistic presentation of picture,
despite its evident burlesque true to
life, was followed by very dramatic
impersonation of the characters in a
court trial scene. The story illus
trated the motto that "No man is
lost when you can reach his heart" y
It was a bit of real preaching that
brought tears to most eyes. Then
"a very quiet, sedate and eminently
proper clergyman attended foot
ball game where his son played in
the team. Mr.. Ratios impersona-
ton of the clergyman was realistic
and compelling.
