A BLESSING FOR THE SOUTH
If the voters of Georgia should
pile up a majority for Tom Wat
son in the November election,
the whole world, the North, and
even the remaining portion of
the South, could only admire such
an act of political independence;
the world, the North, and even
our own sister states would re
spect us all the more, and in thp
years to follow the historian
would record such an act as the
greatest political blessing .which
had happened to the south since
the civil war.
Itrwould be the beginning of a
era when the sounds of tailing
shackles would be heard through
out the Southland and when our
statesmen should once again rule
in the halls of our national coun
cils. For that time is coming
coming ah, dear reader, its
coming and he who does not see
that fact is blind. And until it
does come, the north will hardly
know the south is on the map.
except as a place to grind unjust
profits out of the honest toil of
our men, women and children.
It may be long coming. The
people are slow to better them
selves. They are continually
told of their condition, but for a
reason the good God only knows,
they desire to follow the pro
cession, even though they suffer.
They listen and they forget.
They do not even take their
preacher seriously what he
says, they say they believe, but,
for some reason, what the
preacher says, has a way going
in one ear and escaping in some
unaccountable way, out of the
other ear.
But history shows that the
time finally comes when the peo
ple awake and then something
happens. That time so far as
our political freedom is con
cerned is just over the hills. It
may be farther away than
November, but the stars are not
more certain to shine than that a
real proclamation of a real
emancipation will be declared
and enforced by some great
southern statesman.
That Watson's carrying the one
state of Georgia would be a
great blessing for the south is
admitted by even old-line Demo
crats. We ourselves, have heard
some of them make such a state
ment, but for fear of political
death, for lack of real indepen
dence of action so typical of the
present south, they submit to the
lash of their party, and warp
what little remnant of conscience
and conviction they possess in
the vice of political cowardice.
If a man is a Democrat when
his beliefs are in line with what
Democracy used to be. then Tom
Watson is a Democrat. He is
one of the few stars in their true
orbits, and the lesser lights who
stand aloof and abuse him will
some day flicker into oblivion as
sure as wrong is doomed to die:
and the principles for which he
stands, if not Watson himself,
will live again in the hearts of a
free people. Time alone will
tell the story.
