COMMUNICATIONS.

Some years ago The Herald made
it a rule to publish no articles or
communications in which the opinions
of the writer are expressed unless permission
is given to sign the writer's
name. We are convinced that this
" J ~T 11
ruie is a gooa one, ana we siwn continue
to adhere to it. This pertains
to advertisements or communications
for which no^harge is made.
The Herald welcomes the expression
of opinion on the part of its readers
and friends, and we gladly give
space to instructive or entertaining
articles of this character. If you have
a good idea that is worth passing
along, you should not mind the public
knowing you are responsible for it.
In fact we think the public is entitled
to know. It can the better judge the
merits of the views so expressed,

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.
In. the north it is the popular belief
that slavery was the principal issue
at stake in the Confederate war.
This belief is also shared even here
in the south by those who are not
well versed in the principles of the
Confederacy. Under the head of "The
Truth of History," Fannie L. Selph,
of Nashville, Tenn., has presented
some most interesting facts in regard
to this question. "If this be true
(that the south fought to retain slavery)
then the personnel of the two
armies presented a strange spectacle,"
says the writer, and adds:
"General Lee, the great leader of
the Confederate army, freed his
slaves before the war began, while
General Grant, the great federal commander,
continued his in bondage until
after the war closed."
It will be news to many southerners
that Grant was a slave holder. It
is generally known that Lee had already
set his own slaves free; and
' therefore he could not have been
personally fighting to retain slavery.
It is also a popular belief that the
proclamation of Abraham Lincoln of
Jan. 1, 1863, set the slaves free. The
above referred to writer makes it
quite plain that this was not the case.
The south had seceded from the union
under a right guaranteed in the constitution
of the United States. There
is no question that the south acted
consitutionally in this matter. When
the emancipation proclamation was
issued in 1863, the government of the
United States had no legal control
whatever over the states that "had
left the union. It, therefore, plainly
follows that no proclamation of the
president of the United States could
legally affect an independent govern- j
ment such as the Confederate states
was.
It is also to be borne in mind that
the emancipation proclamation did
not affect all the states, but specifically
designated the states of Arkansas,
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida
Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and portions of Louisiana, Tennesssee
and Virginia. In several
states the slaves were not freed until
after the war.
ir
If the traditions of the southern
cause are to be preserved, it is high
time the truth were written into history.
Farewell to the Overall Club.
( Published by request.)
When a manufacturer of overalls
says that the "overall movement" is
"a mistaken and misguided effort to
reduce the high cost of clothing" the
statement should be regarded as the
last word which need be said on the
subject.
It takes courage for a man to talk
against his own interest and it is
doubly hard to spend money to spread
his views broadcast. What such a
man says therefore is double effective.
This extract from a half-page
advertisement in the Cincinnati Enquirer
published by the Crown Overall
Co., Oscar Brennan, president, of
that city, should be noted with more
than passing interest:
* "Public spirited citizens are practicing
economy by donning a suit of
blue denim overalls to ride in their
eight thousand dollar limousines.
"We are in sympathy with any
movement that will help reduce the
high cost of living and are at all
times ready and anxious to help along
a good cause.
"We profit by this movement, as thej
publicity and advertising given our j
product free by all newspapers of the j
country could not be bought for hun- j
dreds of thousands of dollars. BUT?j
"In justice to the man who wears!
overalls, not from choice, but from
actual necessity, we cannot conscien-j
tiously keep silent and profit from a;
movement which will have only one j
result, and that is that the man who
must wear overalls will be forced to
pay more for tnem.
"The immutable law of supply and
demand is still in effect. Manufacturers
of overalls have no control
over this.
"Blue denim for the past two years
or so has been the scarcest cloth on
the market. Strange as this may
seem, it is practically impossible to j
*
buy denims today from the denim!
mills at any price.
"Overall manufacturers who makej
good, serviceable overalls, are
months behind on their orders.
"Every pair of overalls bought by a j
man who will use them only while j
this fad is on, simply leaves one pair i
less for the man who has to wear
them.
"This fad will not reduce the cost of
clothing. It will merely increase the
cost of overalls."
Requiescat in pace.
The Overall Clubs deserve a place
in history as noteworthy crystallisation
of public sentiment against oppressive
costs of living, also as a noteworthy
illustration of the ease with
which public sentiment can be led
along mistaken paths. They have
