VICTORIES OF THE VANQUISHED
(Continued from Page Three.)
ment of their own. From one
standpoint this was true; while
from another standpoint the van
quished appear as victors, and
their successes outnumber and out
shine their failures. History re
cords the fact that the Confeder
acy’s armies were victorious on
more battlefields than were won
by their antagonists; the fact that
in proportion to numbers they in
flicted upon the enemy far greater
losses than they sustained; the
fact that the young Confederacy
made the most gallant, heroic and
formidable contest against over
whelming odds ever waged by a
government in the history oi the
world. The Southern people dis
played rare moral courage in 1861
in taking the momentous steps that
dissolved their connection with
the remaining states ol the Union.
This moral courage was manifested
throughout the conflict between
the North and South. It was not
(limned by the magnificent phys
ical courageand valor of Southern
soldiers. Convinced of the righte
ousness of their cause, citizens of
the South hesitated to adopt no
justifiable means, though fraught
witli grave peril and great suffer
ing, to establish their government
Ion foundations of freedom, equity
! and equality. With that intense-
| ness of purpose characteristic of
[ the race, they espoused their cause
with boundless ardor and eagerly
advocated and defended that cause
in the forum and on the battlefield
—r« ady to die for it if necessary—
believing that in the blood of the
i brave spilled in fighting for liberty
j the eternal principles of freedom
I would spring up and flourish.
In the beginning the South won
a victory by subduing its fears and
casting aside the counsels of ex
pediency, and by the display of re
markable moral courage. This
victory was won over and over dur
ing the terrific strife and terrible
suffering of the war period; but it
was at the end of the war that
blighted every hope, destroyed
every expectation and cast down
every cherished idol of a proud
people, ttiat the South began to
achieve victories of grander pro
portions and more vital import
than those of 1861-65. It was
then that the giant moral stamina
of Southern citizenry asserted it
self. It was then that shattered
remnants of the manhood of : n
unconquerable race, inspired by
the grief-stricken but loving and
unfaltering women of the South,
began to rear upon the blackened
fragments of the Confederacy the
magnificent temples of a dozen
great commonwealths whose splen
dor eclipses the rarest visions ol
those old Southerners who peered
into the future with prophetic ken
The moral courage, tact, good
judgment, wisdom, energy and
determination displayed by the
Southern people during the past
forty years is the marvel of the
ages. None but those who have
faced the South’s peculiar condi
tions, contended with the demons
of iccoiistruction, poverty, pesti
lence and crime, essayed to solve
its manifold problems of govern
ment, wrestled with its education
al, commercial, industrial and rac
ial difficulties,can fully understand
the measure of her sufferings or
appreciate the magnificence of her
sublime courage and fortitude.
Though vanquished in the strug-
0 lc for popular government found
ed upon its own ideals, the South
has snatched victory from defeat.
Truth is eternal. Crushed to
earth, perchance it will never rise
again in the same form, but in
some form it remains to bless man
kind and to lead the world ever
onward and upward toward the
light.
The cause was lost, the world
says. It is not so. The truth
contended for by the South re
mains—it may be in different
guise, and form yet unrecognized
by the unseeing and unthinking—
but principles based on liberty,
justice and civic righteousness can
never die. During the past forty
years, i.i some form, many of the
principles for which the South
fought have asserted themselves
in this and other nations for the
blessing and betterment of man
kind.
Now we come face to face with
the problems of the present, the
difficulties that confront us, the
struggles we cannot avoid but
must engage in. The vital present
concerns us. The past hath its
teachings for the thoughtful stu
dent of history, and may all of us
profit by wise consideration of its
events Forty years have wrought
marvellous changes in the South.
Our wonderful industrial growth,
commercial expansion and mental
and moral progress have amazed a
watching world. From almost
any point of view this would seem
to be the golden era of the South.
As a matter of fact it is only early
morn in the South’s wonderful
career. The sun of our success is
just b 'ginning his ascent toward
the zenith. The South will yet
become the n.ost highly developed
and wealthiest section of the globe
and be recognized as the world’s
most favored country. The old
South was great; we say the new
South is greater; in the future it
shall be said the ultimate South is
greatest.
Standing in the dawn of the
South’s opportunities, with the
marvellous achievements of forty
years immediately behind us, and
radiant promise of a glorious fu
ture beckoning us to higher ideals
and nobler efforts, there exists to
day, as there has existed in all
ages, the need of men of large
mould, vital character, correct
ideals and tireless energy, Some
times there is danger of overpro
duction ot cotton or ot some other
crop, or of a manufactured prod
uct, but there has never occurred
an over production ot men of this
mould.
The call of the ages has been for
men. The present calls for men.
The future will demand men. The
South called for men in 1861—for
patriotic, loyal, courageous sons to
defend her soil and battle for her
rights. For nearly half a century
there has been no cessation of the
demand for men of that character
in the South. They have been
called to the labors of peace, in
stead of the bitter experiences of
war; but the call has been none
the less urgent. Those who ans
wered the South’s call from 1861
to 1864 strove for victory and ex
pected to achieve success, but
were prepared to sustain defeat
and combat failure. Since that era
the South’s call to her sons has
been to mental effort, to industrial
achievement, to moral advocacy.
Nobly have her sons responded to
the demands of the period In the
forefront of business activity, in
the vanguard of mental and moral
progress, in lhe trout rank of civic
endeavor Southern men have oc
cupied stations of distinction and
responsibility. Like valiant men
they have faced difficulty, labored
diligently and borne their own
burdens. With faces to the light,
always seeking the right,they have
contended for the truth—unabash
ed by temporary failure and un
afraid of final defeat.
For men of the caliber and
character of the flower of the old
South’s manhood and its descend
ants there will always be a place
in the world—and above all and
better than all else, the certainty
that even though their labors be
not crowned with the world’s
laurels ot success, defeat cannot
destroy the virtue and vitality ot
their honest efforts.
This age needs men—big-heart
ed, broad-minded, keen-visioned
men. Men who strive for success,
but are not afraid of possible fail
ure. Men who scorn the winning
of success by foul means, prefer-
ing honorable defeat to dishonor
able victory. The call of this age
is to sincere, honest, brave men—
men whose lives are every whit
clean and whose influence is ever
exerted on the right side ol* the
vital issues of life.
Away with hypocracy and soph
istry in pulpit and in pew;away
with insincere and uncertain mor
alists; away with demagogues and
base tricksters in plates of public
trust; away with all kinds of dis
honesty and brutal selfishness and
with everything that dwarfs the
soul and the character of men and
degrades them. Make way for the
plain, consecrated expounder of
! eternal truth, the practical expo-
| nent of the Gospel professed and
•preached; make way for the be-
I lieving hearer and doer of the
Word; the earnest, fearless advo
cate and defender of good morals
and civic virtues; make way for
• the honest man in politics, the
courageous and efficient servant of
! the people and the stern foe of
greed, graft and trickery; make
way for the clean, honorable and
: enterprising business man and de
veloper our vast industrial and
commercial possibilities; make way
for all the virtues that characterize
strong, clean men and pure and
noble womanhood.
There is room for men; but let
us determine with one accord that
there is no place in our beloved
Southland for those human beings
whose only claim to manhood is
based upon the fact that they mas
querade in this life in the guise of
human beings. Men of the char
acter demanded by the necessities
of* the age possess all the attributes
ol* men, but are minus the charac
teristics of brutes.
Let us resolve that it is better
to perish lighting for liberty, jus
tice and truth than to survive as
the driven slaves ol* injustice, un
righteousness and oppression. As
citizens of the new Mouth let us
cling to every beautiful and en
nobling impulse that animated our
forefathers; hold sacred every un
dying tenet believed in by them,
and stand for every great principle
of human liberty for which they
fought. Let us retain our hold
upon all that was grand and good
in the rare civilization ot the de
parted South and make it a vital
part of the South of the present
and the future.
These noble impulses,right prin
ciples und patriotic ideals, added
to the unfolding wisdom of the
passing years, will make the South
a mighty country; a radiant, joy-
crowned paradise in the sisterhood
of American States.
