Author: Beal, Jr., J. Whitney
Title: The South Has Rights. A Plea
Description: Boston, By the author, 1901. printed wraps. 24mo. (5.25" x 3.25"), peach colored printed wraps. Rear cover is an advertisement. 8pp. Very good, clean and undamaged. The author produces a screed in which he castigates Theodore Roosevelt for his progressive, inclusive behavior: "In recognizing Booker T. Washington, the negro principal of a negro school at Tuskegee, Ala. as his social equal, the President of the United States is violating precedents which, for 'the peace, prosperity and honor of the country,' have been religiously observed by each Chief Magistrate of the nation from the first addministration of George Washington of Virginia to the second administration of William McKinley of Ohio. There can be no doubt among Americans of the Southern States that in thus attempting to destroy ideals of racial integrity held up for more than a century by his predecessors in office, Mr. Roosevelt, has not only demonstrated that he lacks both that good taste which is 'the conscience of the mind' and that conscience which is the 'good taste of the soul', but has also precipitated upon both races of all sections in the United States a political issue that was thought to be a dead and a social problem that was thought to be solved.' This man was a Bostonian, and a financier of some type. This diatribe goes on for eight pages. The piece is quite scarce. OCLC locates one copy at Duke University. Very good .
