A constitution of the most en lightened character will be adopted and new officers of the provisional government elected. It is imperative that our Government be recognized et this time in order that business may not be subjected to prolonged stag nation. We ask recognition that we may enter upon new life and new ra- larionships with the great powers. "We ask recognition for the repub lic because the republic is a fact.” On receipt of this earnest appeal, all the energies of the Hears! news papers were brought into play to bring about the recognition which the new' republic justly deserved. It was early realized that public opinion in the United States was strongly fa vorable to the claims of the young republic, and a campaign was organ ized to make this opinion effective. Hearst Papers’ Campaign. The campaign soon bore fruit. When all was in readiness the Hearst pa pers caused to be Introduced in the House of Representatives at Wash ington a resolution tending to hasten official action on the part of the United States. Governor Sulzer of New York, who was then chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, took charge of the resolution, which was introduced late in December. 1911, and so effective had been the cam paign of the Hearst papers that on February 26. 1912. Mr. Sulzer report- | ed, with a unanimous recommenda tion from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the following resolution. "Resolved, by the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assembled: That the United States of America congratulates the people of China on their assumption of the powers, duties and responsibilities of self-government and expresses the confident hope that in the adoption and maintenance of a republican form of government the rights, liberties and happiness of the Chinese people will be secure and the progress of the country assured.” , This resolution, preliminary to the final official recognition, passed the House three days later. February 29, 1912 In the Senate, where It was made a concurrent resolution, it was adopted jApril 17. 1912. Within four months of the receipt of Mr Wu’s appeal to the Hearst pa pers this great progress had been made. But the Administration failed t«- act, and there followed another vigorous campaign, during which time the work of perfecting the ma- (binery of the new republic went steadily .forward. A new administration succeeded at Washington, and the Hearst papers renewed their efforts to have official recognition accorded the new gov ernment. Public opinion again made Itself felt—it was seen that China had taken a firm position among the nations of the earth and that the new government was established upon a j stable basis.

May 17.—Perhaps no greater proof of the close bonds of friendship which have grown up between the Nt^rth and the Soutn 5»ince the close of the civil war has ever been shown than that exhibited in the selection of Representative James Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, to deliver the Memorial address in the National Cemetery at the Gettysburg battlefield on Memorial Day . Representative Heflin is the first Southerner ever to have this dis-. tinction, and in acceptance of the graceful courtesy, replied for the en tire South to the warm-hearted ad vances of its former adversaries. The invitation was extended by the Corporal Kelly Post. In replying to /the Southern Congressman's ac ceptance. the post wrote that the Me morial Day meeting will be the first step in the greatest reunion of the soldiers of both armies ever held— the fifty-year celebration of the bat tle, which will be observed in July. Real Significance. This only half expresses the real significance of the invitation to the Southern orator. In the first place, it carries* to the whole South the certain news 'that the old soldiers of the Confederacy will receive a cordial and impressive welcome when they arrive to take part in the big cele bration. More important, of course, is the fact that it is a token of a renewed fraternity* between the vet erans of the North and South. In casting about for an orator for Memorial Day, the post at Gettys burg received the suggestion that a Southerner be invited. It was then recalled that Mr. Heflin had spent a week in the State during the last campaign, speaking for the Democrat ic ticket, lie was* well and favorablv known, and an eloquent orator. Those who have heard Mr. Heflin speak in the House know that this feature of the Memorial Day exercises will be fully up to the addresses of pre vious years. * Mr. Heflin said to-day: "I spoke a month in the campaign last fall in the Northern States, and I had a very warm reception every where. "It was in Pennsylvania that a vet eran of the Civil War told me the thing that ought to be done was to s-end more Southern men through the North to speak in publfc, and let the North see what the South stands for. He pointed out that this w-ould do away with the prejudice which may harp upon to maintain feeling in the North against the South. "The day for a better understand ing—for a better feeling between th* sections—has arrived," continued Mr. Heflin. Both Sides Are Happy. "From now on, in my judgment, the sections will try causes on their merits. ^ "Both sides in that great war fought for what they believed was* right, and we are all happy in the thought that we have a real, reunited country." In delivering the Memorial Day oration, Mr. Heflin will stand on the spot on which Abraham Lincoln stood when he delivered his Gettysburg ad dress.
