CURRENT COMMENT
OF THE PRESS
Some Things Being Talked and
Thought About
THE "SOLID SOUTH"

New York Evenig Sun, Republican,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodges ap-
peal to the country to bring about a
spirit of national unity by breaking
the SOLID South" at the November
elections will arouse wide interest.
'The Republican party should make
its appeal he says North and South
East and West, to all Americans who
love their country without regard to
section or difference of long ago, now
happily dispersed and gone, we be-
lieve forever" This statement has
met with the approval of prominent
Republicans throughout the country.
and on all sides the opinion is voiced
that the time has come to break the
Democratic monopoly of the South.
Irrespective of present issues, we
believe such an event would be most
sal2tary, not only for the whole
country but for the South itself. 1t is
always unfortunate for a state or
section to be dominated entirely by
one party, for it tends to make that
party irresponsible. South of Mason
and Dixon's line there is lacking
among politicians that consciousness
so ever present elsewhere, that the
mistakes and shortcomings of the
party will inevitably meet with pun
ishment at the next election. The
South needs, what every democratic
community needs two evenly matched
vigorous opposing parties.
Nor is there any reason why this
should not be. In former days the
plea was made that the Republicans
were in favor of negro domination,
that a Republican victory in Georgia
or South Carolina would result in
return to the evils of Reconstruction
But this plea has long ago lost its
force. The mistakes of the act of
1867 will never be repeated, and
there is no longer legitimate reason
why the South should not have two
parties, divided not along radical lines
but upon great questions of national
policy.
Before the Civil War the South
ern States were sharply separated
from the rest of the nation, not only
by reason of slavery, but because they
had little part in the vast industrial
expansion which marked the first half
of the nineteenth century. Adhering
exclusively to extensive agriculture.
the region had nothing in common
with the commerce and mining and
manufacturing of the North. 1t was
natural then, that it should seek its
salvation by adherence to one party
only.
But today the old conditions no
longer exist. There is no great ma
tional interest which is not shared,
to some extent, at least by the South
ern States. Whether in mining or
trading or manufacturing or fruit
raising they have fallen in line with
their sisters north and west. And
with this change in the economic sit
.uation has vanished the only legiti-
mate reason for political isolation. In
industry the South is as one with the
rest of the nation. Why not in party
allegiance? Could the Southern peo-
pie realize that Reconstruction days
are over, should they cease voting
today on the issues of 1872 and 1876
there would then be initiated a new
and more wholesome party life to
the south of the Potomac and Ohio
rivers

BEATEN BY VETO.
New York World)

|. Peace by resolution of party.
peace placing an ''ineffaceable stain
upon the gallantry and honor of the
United States" peace in which none
of the essential interests which we
had at heart when we entered the war
is safeguarded," met a deserved fate
yesterday when the Republicans of
the House of Representative failed
by twenty-eight votes to override the
Presidents objections.
There have been vetoes that saved
the country from violent domestic
legislation, from financial bad faith
and from extravaganza, but all the
evils so avoided could not have equal
ed the treachery, cowardice and world
wide degradation that would have
been properly chargeable to us if this
partisan attempt to make a separate
peace had been successful. The pow
er OF the Executive never was more
correctly used and no gift of proph-
ecy Is needed to foresee the time
when all Americans will be grateful
to the man who stood between them
and everlasting shame.
We are accustomed to a great deal
OF dirty politics in our own affairs.
Most of it is excused on the ground
that it is all in the family and does
not mean anything serious. That plea
cannot be made when we carry cheap
tricks and partisan malice into our
foreign relations. The Knox-Lodge
resolution for disgraceful peace was
a campaign document devised for
home consumption but with utter dis
regard of the ill-will which it invit-
ed abroad. Its end was as inglorious
as It's beginnings were contemplate.
