PROTEST OF JOHN B. HOOD CAMP.
There has been some criticism,
even among loyal Texans, of the ac-
tion of John 1). Hood Camp of Confed-
erate Veterans In protesting against
the adoption, by the state text book
hoard of the Meyers-Brooks elemen-
tary arithmetic because of a palpably
covert effort on. the part of the au-
thors to teach pupils to Idealize north-
ern commanders In the war between
the states and Ignore the achieve-
ments of southern soldiers.
Of course the war Is over and at
first blush the protest of John B. Ilood
Camp appears silly. But read what
the camp has to say in its resolutions;
“1. That we enter u unanimous
and vigorous protest against the use
of the Meyers-Brooks elementary
arithmetic In the public schools of our
state. 2. That the governor and text
book board are hereby earnestly re-
quested to rescind the action by which
this book was adopted, and that It be
rejected upon the grounds hereinbe-
fore stated. 3, That, we hereby ap-
peal to our sister camps of Confeder-
ate Veterans and to all chapters of
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy In the state of Texas to take
similar action In condemnation of this
Ismk, which glorifies Grant as the con-
queror of Vicksburg under the guise
of un Innocent mathematical proposi-
tion; commemorates Sherman’s
march through Georgia, and Sheri-
dan's ride from Winchester to the bat-
tlefield of Cedar Creek, under a guise
apparently as harmless, and yet has no
problem Involving the genius and In-
trepidity with which Lee with a hand-
ful of soldiers held practically the
world at hay for four long years; no
problem touching the ago of Jackson
when he swept like a whirlwind
through the valley of Virginia, and no
calculation, cither simple or abstruse,
as to the amount of wanton cruelty,
rapine, devastation and death which
followed the track of Sherman's
awakened vengeance from Atlanta to
Ihe sea. 4. That, while we rejoice
that the bitter animosities engender-
ed by the events which these appar-
ently Innocent problems commemor-
ate are being burled beneath the ad-
vance or a belter feeling, and are will
lug to accept the benlson of peace for
all It means, and at Its full value, we
d»>, nevertheless, most emphatically
submit that such subtle Interjection
of partisan history and sectional sen-
timent Into tuxt lawks In our south-
ern schools is not only a violation of
our statutes and un affront to our
patriotism and to our history, but it
Is by no means calculated to full like
the graclotiH rain of heaven upon that
divine plant of concord which has
been growing up between the sections
and more and more filling the national
atmosphere with Its fragrance.”
As we have said, the war is over,
the old wounds are all healed and the
boys of the south are as loyal to the
union today as they are to tbe Con-
federacy of yesterday, and If they
must study mathematical problems
herolztng leaders of a sectional strife
let those leaders bo their own people
—fathers, grandfathers and uncles.
The Houston Chronicle aptly says;
“The New South has not forgotten
the Old South. It never will. The
southern people are Anglo-Saxon In
race ami loyal to their traditions. The
most precious possessions of a people
are Its heroes; living, they serve their
country; dead, their example Is a
lamp to the footsteps of posterity for
all time to come. The south cherishes
the memory of Washington and of
Lee. No part of ihe world can show
greater men. Soldiers and patriots,
these typical southerners, of that high
type toward which good men try to
conform, served their country in war
and In peace, and Lee. no less than
Washington, has been first in the
hearts of his countrymen.”
lieal with a call ri[»on the people who
want to see Mr. Bryan elected.
“And' now, as a member of and
representing the national executive
committee, I appeal to the Democrats
of Texas, of all classes and condi-
tions, to respond to this call.
“This Is vour fight; you can win It,
If you will supply the emans."
Colonel Johnston Is right. This Is
the people's fight. It Is the plain
American citizen against the protected
Interests. The wealthy beneficiaries
of the Republican tariff and the or-
ganized monopolies are pouring their
millions into the Taft corruption fund
and they are not doing It without as-
surances of protection, while llryan,
who Is making the fight for the peo-
ple, muRt look to tho people for the
funds necessary to defray the actual
expenses of such a long-drawn-out
fight.

Colonel Johnston says:
We have a platform of principles
which, written by the direct represen-

of its platform of principles and the
great wisdom exercised in the selec-

to pay the legitimate expenses of. a

where our troubles begin.

CHANGING RAILROAD EMPIRE.
The intrusion of Harrtman into the
directorates of the Gould roads marks
tho beginning of the end for the rail-
road family that Jay Gould hoped to
found. Beginning us a remorseless
railroad pirate, Jay Gould before his
death had made some endeavors lo
build, and cherished tbe pathetic hope
of handing down his power and wealth
to his children. The wealth, indeed,
was transmitted with no trouble. But
power Is a personal asset In this coun-
try, and Jay Gould left no son compe-
tent to emasure himself against the
rallorad men of today. George Gould’s
ventures have not proven profitable,
and the unrelenting needs of business
require that the reins ho placed in tho
hands of some one who can get the
stock holding passengers to their divi-
dend goal.
