That this actually has oome to pass is made evident by- a House of- Representatives again con trolled by Southern men; by the recent presence of Tennesseeans in the cabi net and by the' appointment of a chief . justice, who was a Confederate sol ' ji.. rt i r .on ni near taking charge of the government and failed because, as I sincerely be lieve, our people were not sufficiently educated and our leaders not suffic iently unselfish to deserve the task. , "Referring to the attacks of South ern Democrats upon him, Mr. Cleve lad said to me in 1896: - 'I believe the Southern people are loyal anTt,en erous, yet their leaders traduce me . though I was the first to invite them back to their father's table.' ; Break- ting with him the South threw away v great opportunity to regain her po sition in the nation, t !

Dr. Dabney, then reviewed the pfc fetit education in-the South and paid tribute to her educational leaders, to Robert E.

Referring to the recent appointment by 'President Taft of Dr. Philander Y. Ciaxlon, head of the South's Summer Tschool, as United States Commission er of Education, Dr. Dabney brought his address to a close, sayingjr. . m "Thus after half a . century of com p!ete or partial separation, the South has, through public education, re-na tionalized herself and prepared he' people to undertake again their share of the nation's ' work The giving by ' the , South of its great educational leader to the nation is the latest rec i ognition of Its complete re-national ization." , ; Jas.

Presi dent Taft put the parting touch on his part in the celebration of this city's safe - and sane"' Fourth in a : speech on Canadian reciprocity at the Marion Club banquet tonight. The President made hl3 answer to the argument of pome Republicans that reciprocity, as he. has proposed it, is not good Repub llcaaV doctrine, but Democratic doc trine; : ... . -He shpwed that reciprocity as pre sented", to Congress by him ' differed f at all only slightly from reciprocity as advocated by James G. Blaine and former President M,cKintey. He said the contention of the opponents of his reciprocity plan that the doctrine is un-Republican because it affects arti cles that are competitive, and not merely non-competitive articles, is not sound.. The sound Republican doctrine," the President said, "has . become the imposition of duties only where the conditions are naturally unequal, and where duties' are necessary in order to enable our manufacturers an other producers to meet on a level the com petition of foreign producers. The Canadian reciprocity agreement which has been made' squares exactly with this doctrine." - Replying to the contention that re ciprocity would be made wholly at the expense of the farmer and in the nterest of the wage-earner of the large cities, Mr," Taft said that la his Judg ment "the -reciprocity agreement will not greatlyreduCe ltiie eost :-of ttving,- lfatall.4- - i.. --ii . - , V. i' "It will,'' -the.

Mr. Hammond, replying devoted his speech to a character sketch of Pres ident. Taft, whose dearest hope, he said, was that out of his service to his country something may come leading to a solution of the problem of the worm s peace. $ He , expressed the conviction that there was no president since Lincoln who could have so ably guided the ship of state throughthe tortuous anl treacherous passages to the present happy, and united condition. In con clusion he declared that if Anglo-Saxon civilization is to hold its' place in the forefront of human- life and pro gress carrying the spirit of liberty to mankind it must be cherished, not by an English-speaking people but by those in all parts of the world, having a common reverence for its traditions and a common Determination to main tain its standards: THIRTEEN' DEATHS RECORDED.
