Story Of Mississippi

REVOLT OF THE REDNECKS,"
by Albert D. Kirwan, $3.50 Uni
versity Of Kentucky Press, Lex
ington, KY, 1928 PIP.
Here is the story of how the
state of Mississippi came into the
control of such demagogues as the
late Sen. Theodore Bilbo.
"Revolt of the Rednecks tells
the story Of Mississippi politics be-
tween 1876 and 1925. Underlying
this story is the influence of the
Negro, though silent, always felt.
Albert D. Kirwann tell an inter-
esting story and gives something
of an insight into the psychology
of the Mississippi anti Negro
SpOuClnS pOIIlclan.
1t illustrates how first the white
man illegally kept the Negroes
from voting and exercising his
constitutional rights, then how he
did the same thing legally.
A history student will find this
book especially good reading. So
will the student interested in po-
litical science.
Anyone who reads and enjoys it
probably will hope that Kirwan
writes the story of Mississippi po-
litics from 1925 until the present
day.

This book tells the complete and

Judging by our past acquaint-

ly, this is not SO.
An entirely new picture, quite
different from the stereotypes
that we have gulped most of our
lives, is presented in the books,
"Lincoln and the Press" by Robert
B. Harper.
In his volume, Harper has
studied and read many publica-

as a butt of a criticism.
Probably the most vicious anti
Lincoln newspaper was the Crisis,
a newspaper published not in the
