RTPUBL1CAN CREED-TOIL AND SPOILS
A copy of the Democratic Campaign
Book for 1910 has been received
at The Times office and in
it is printed a speech made in the
house of representatives some
weeks ago by Congressman Jack
Beall, of Texas. In the speech
Mr. Beall scores the Republican
party for its broken promises.
The following extracts from the
speech are interesting and worth
reading:
As a result of the betrayal of
the people in so many ways the
Republican party has been dismembered.
Like Gaul of old, it
is now divided into three partsregular
Republicans, insurgent
Republicans, chameleon Republicans.
The regular Republicans ride
the elephant all the time; the
insurgent Republicans ride some
and walk some occasionally giving
the poor old beast a savage kick,
but always taking care to hold on
to the tail as an evidence of their
allegiance. The chameleon Republicans
walk with the insurgents
when it is popular and
ride with the regulars when it is
profitable. The regulars have
audacity, the insurgents sincerity,
and the chameleons
prudence. The regulars believe
that it is always better to be
regular than right. The insurgents
think it is sometimes
better to be right than regular.
The regulars always love their
party best, the insurgents sometimes
love their country best.
The regulars say that the insurgents
have betrayed their
party. .The insurgents say that
the regulars have betrayed the
people. I am disposed to believe
most that they say about each
other, because they know each
other far better than I know
either. I must say, though, that
my sympathies are largely with
the insurgents. They are in a
predicament. They are entirely
too good to be Republicans and
a. * I? ^ - 1 1 i._ l - ri
vntireiy loo oau lo dc uemocrats.
I look upon them as convicted
Republicans?I do not mean
legally convicted but religiously
convicted ?and they need only
an old-fashioned conversion to
make Democrats out of them.
But neither regular nor insurgent
can claim that there has
been a redemption of the platform
pledges of their party up
to this time. The most they can
now show is a bureau of mines
which a few opposed and a tariff
bill which nobody defends.
The trouble with the Republican
party is that it frequently
pretends, but rarely intends. If
it could conduct a business with
its pretentions as its assets and
its intentions as its liabilities, its
dividends would put the steel
trust to shame? The country
has had an opportunity to learn
anew the lesson that the Republican
party can promise like
spendthrifts, but that they perform
like misers.
But the president said at
Winona?what a mellow sound
that word has, Winona, W-i-n-on-a,
Winona; that was the first
frost line on the arctic trip the
president took through the
insurgent territory last year dea
?:ir l:ii > .
icuuiuK me tcii in urn, wncn tne
warmth of his reception was
measured by the length of the
icicles ?the president said at
Winona, just before he poured
on the head of the chairman of
the appropriations committee the
anointing oil, that, "On the
whole, however, I am bound to
say that I think that the Payne
tariff bill is the best tariff bill
that the Republican party ever
passed."
In answer the consumer can
well say: "In the hole, however,
I am bound to say that the
Payne tariff bill is the worst
tariff bill any party ever passed."
When I think about the Payne
bill it seems to me that the only
way for you to justify your disappointment
and betrayal of the
American people is to commit the
sacrilege of blaming the Almdghty
by saying that while the ;
Ceople made you able to lift their |
urdens, God did not makp von
- willing to do it.
The citizen regards the tariff
as an evil because it takes
money from his pocket, while the
manufacturer looks upon it as a
blessing because it puts money
in his pocket. The citizen submits
to it because of his patriotism,
while the manufacturer advocates
it because of his greed.
The citizen would measure it by
the necessities of the government,
while the manufacturer
measures it by his own avarice.
The Democratic idea is that
whenever imposed it should yield i
> revenue, though it may or may
not protect. The Republican idea
is that it should protect, though it

THE PISTOL TOTING EVIL
.Judge John T. Pendleton, one
of Georgia's calmest, most conservative
jurists, in his charge
I to the Fulton county grand jury
told the members that pistol!
toting was the most indefensible
crime on the calendar. It was
often the first step, he said, to
moral and financial ruin. He
demanded the enforcement, of
the law against it.
The other day, in Anniston,
Ala., Judge Thomas YV. Coleman,
of the city court, charged a grand
jury in substantially the same
scathing terms. "The old law
| against carrying concealed weapons,"
he declared, "is practically
antiquated in this State." He
also urged its revival and en!
forcement in emphatic language.
! The Atlanta Constitution cites
these two almost simultaneous
instances of denunciation of pistol-toting
from the bench as an
indication that the crime is one
of universal prevalence.
If pistol-toting, and the crimes

there would be a gleam of
I hope. But the exact reverse is
the true status. Month in and
out. year by year, it increases at
a sinister ratio. Pistol-toting is
the parent of most crime. In
most transgressions of the code
it figures in one way or another.
Unless he be an authorized officer
of the law. every man carrying
a concealed weapon is a
possible murderer. He needs
only the provocation to become
an actual murderer, a destroyer
of homes, a maker of widows
and orphans?always a fattener
of the cemeteries.
The class of men typifying
these outrages against society
should be branded as pariahs.
That is their only accurate designation.

The Republican idea is that the
interests will be potent to save
a party that has served them,
while the Democratic idea is that
the people will be omnipotent to
J A * * * *
uestroy a party which has betrayed
them.
The Republican creed is toil
and spoils?toil for the masses
and spoils for the classes.
The Payne tariff bill has shown
that the Republicans are expert
mathematicians; that they can
add, subtract, multiply, and divide,
in one operation. They can
add to the wealth of the rich,
subtract from the substance of
the poor, multiply millionaires,
and divide themselves?all in
one bill.
The Saviour must have had
Republicans in mind when He
said, "Or what man is there of
you, whom if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone?"

I THE SOUTHERN SOLDIER.

The army of the Southern Confederacy
was probably the most remarkable
assemblage of its kind in the annals of
the world. Those naturally expected
to be the first to volunteer were the
property-holders and their sons?the
I m/.n /xf 1 J a-?
. I .t.c vi wcm tu iinu raucauon. 1 nese
, j had much, very much, to urge them on
to sacrifice and devotion, for there was
not only the principle involved, butti:?ir
beautiful, happy homes and the means
i ! whereby they were to be maintained !
were to" be protected. To them defeat
meant a return to burnt homes, fence)
less farms, poverty and ashes.
These we are accustomed to refer
' to as the flower of Southern manhood.
| And the South was not slow to give of |
such men to her armies. She withheld
not her very best from the sacrificial 1
altar. In a paper read before the Milij
tary Historical Society of Massachui
setts, Gen. Chas. A Whittier, of the
! Union army, speaking of the Army of
Northern Virginia, says:
"This army will deservedly rank as
! the best which has existed on this coni
tinent. Suffering privations unknown
I to its opponents, it fought well from
the early Peninsular days to the sur- |
render of that small remnant at Appo|
mattox. Without doubt it was composed
of the best men of the South, ;
rushing to what they considered a defense
of their country against a bitter
invader; and they took the places as|
signed them, officer or private, and
fought until beaten by superiority of
numbers. The North sent no such army
to the field, and its patriotism was of
easier character." Proceeding, General
Whittier says:
I "As a matter of comparison we have
lately read that from William and Mary
college, Virginia, thirty-two out of
thirty-five professors and instructors j
abandoned tne college work and joined
the army in the field. Harvard college
sent one professor from its large corps
of professors and instructors."
A second element, and many hold that '
j by far the greater part of the Southern
army, were men who owned no houses, 1
! nor lands, nor slaves, but who occupied
1 the land as tenants ?men who, the war
! over, even though the South had been
! victorious, would have had nothing to
return to (aside from family ties) but
the poverty they left behind them when
they enlisted for the fray.
And yet for the sake of the principle in
, which they believed these voluntarily
enrolled for service and through the j
four terrible years bore the hardships |
! of war with sacrifice and devotion equal i
to the others.
Which of the two classes deserves
the highest honor? We all know which
has received most honor.
Still another class who went with our
army were the negro cooks and body
servants of the boys in gray. These
had everything to lose if the South
should succeed. But how did they [
stand the test? 1 have never heard of
one deserting. As a class they were
true and lovingly loyal to their masters,
obedient^ and devoted to every duty j
that fell to their lot. A representative
of this type who is best known to me
is Jere Perkins, the body servant of
Mr. Charlie Perkins, of Brownsville,
Tenn., who was slain in the battle
of Atlanta.
In pathetic tones Jere still tells how
he went with "Marse Charlie" to the
war, waited on him in the camp, buried
him after he was killed, and when
the war was over "went back and
fotch him home."
And now, with such an army as this,
true in its allegiance to the Southern
cause (coming no matter from what
condition),
"Theirs not to reason why.
Theirs but to do or die,"
is it any wonder that it proved wellnigh
invincible? And yet all the world
wondered that it should hold out so
long against such bitter and overwhelming
odds.
Let us notice for a moment the estimate
put upon the valor and devotion
of the Confederate army by one of
high authority who fought against it ?
General Buell. He says in "Battles
and Leaders of the Civil War:"
"It required a naval fleet and 15,000
1 troops to advance against a weak fort,
manned by less than 100 men, at Fort
Henry; 35,000, with naval cooperation,
to overcome 12,000 at Donelson; 60,000
to secure a victory nvt-r id nno o?
burg Landing (Shiloh); 120,(XX) to eni
force the retreat of 65,000 intrenched,
after a month's fighting and maneuver;
ing at Corinth; 100,(XX) repelled by
J 80,000 in the first Peninsular campaign
t against Richmond; 70,000, with a
1 powerful naval force, to inspire the
I campaign which lasted nine months,
| against 40,000 at Vicksburg; 90,000 to
i barely withstand the assault of 70,000
; at Gettysburg; 115,000 sustaining a
j frightful repulse from 60,000 at Fredi
ericksburg; 100,000 attacked and defeated
by 50,000 at Chancellorsville;
! 85,000 held in check two days by 40,(XX)
( at Antietam; 43,000 retaining the field
uncertainly against 38,000 at Stone
River (Murfreesboro); 70,000 defeated
at Chickamauga, and beleaguered by
70,000 at Chattanooga; 80,000 merely
to break the investing line of 45,000
at Chattanooga, and 100,000 to press
back 50,000 increased at last to 70,000
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, a distance
of 120 miles, and then let go an
operation which is commemorated at
festive reunions by the standing toast
'One hundred days under fire;' 50,- ,
000 to defeat the investing line of
30,000 at Nashville; and, finally, 120,000
to overcome 60,000 with exhaustion
after a struggle of a year in Virginia."
In some of the battles thus enumerated
by General Buell, the odds were
even greater than he states them. To
illuatr?imnli/*'* kL
? ? -v, VVII1IUCIIWO Willi j
i which the Southern soldiers followed
| their leaders, he draws the following
| comparison:
"At Cold Harbor the Northern
; troops, who had proven their indomitable
qualities by losses nearly equal to j
I the whole of their opponent, when j
ordered to another sacrifice, even under
such a soldier as Hancock, answered I
i the demand as one man?a silent and
! solid inertia. At Gettysburg Pickett,
when waiting for the signal which
| Longstreet dreaded to repeat, for the
hopeless but immortal charge against
Cemetery Hill, saluted and said, as he
| turned to his ready column: '1 shall
move forward, sir.' '

he was elected, and two years ago
in the first primary I received 4,207
votes, and in the race just closed I received
6,135. In my own county I received
over 2,000 votes.
Friends, accept my most hearty
thanks for your support.
