Washington.-Senator should forget

Smoot, republican, Utah, to illiteracy
In the south.
Some senators seem unable to get
away from the spirit of sectionalism
that at one time threatened to divide

with the civil war ended the south was
left impoverished to degree that is
pathetic to every fair-minded man. 1t
was left with the burden of educating
race just freed from slavery.
