nuestioned eac'U man as' to his feel
il'go about his part la the Civil War
and his loyalty to the United States
government. The answers of several
of these men spoke the language of re
gret, and contained warm protesta
tions of devotion now to the United
States. . j
;.The last man questioned was ex
Oqy. Stockdale, of Texas, who repl ed
that he and the South at large had
no thought of further resistance, but
acceptinjdefeat. loyalty to the U.S.
government was their only thought,
but, he added "I am not ready like a
beaten Spaniel to lick the hand that
smote me and admit'that we were
wrong." . 1 .
.'At this Gen. Lee roi to his Teet
and bowing signified that the inter
view was at an end. However, he de
tained Stockdale and said to him,
"General, though I am a private citi
zen and a humble school teacher, any
thing I might say which was displeas
ing would.,for gome reason be visited t
npott my suffering people, but you,
have exactly expressed my owri feet-j
iiigs. Had-1 known what we would
have to bear after the surrender la'
the South I would have die sword in i
hand at Appomattox and there would
have been no surrender."
Major Robinson said that Gen. N.
B. Forrest once said to him, "Major,
when I think how we fought them and
how often we licked them and then
how it all came to nothing at last It
seems to me like the Almighty wa3
against us."
Were these men all in the wrong"?
My country right or wrong sounds
well but we should not be for any
thing that Is wrong. If our country
is wrong we should try to get It
right. Truth and right rank with
God's throne. Now,' were1 these men
wrong in siding with the South in the
Civil War? ', ' ' '1 '
la principle,' No. The decisions of
the supreme court - of the United
States since the Civil War, a study of
the constitution of the United States,
and the story of Its origin, brings us
the verdict of 'many wise, impartial
men, that at the time of the Civil
War the states did have the right of
secession. t? .
Abraham Lincoln was a greats Jnd
good man, but some of us nave aire
wondered if his sadness was notjphw

Tho breaking up of the American
union would have been a disaster to
the world. ;Now war is the last ar
gument of kings and republics alike.
The arbitrament of battle is real. The
judgment of the'authorities on either
establishes as morally binding the de
cision too of majorities in public af
fairs and forms of government.
Failure to support the union since
the Civil War would be sin. Today
the most loyal American and loyal
section of the union is tho great South,
whose sons In recent wars, with their
father's blessings have shown their
devotion to the old flag. . s
