Genuine Hero or Demagogue in Civil War Memory
A nostalgic essay contrasts Emperor Julian and Admiral Schley with Civil War figures, defending veterans and Confederate memory in a partisan tone. The piece critiques modern labels like rebel and bolter, defends Southern honor, and endorses historic reconciliation while warning against demonizing opponents. It also includes asides on medical ads and a jurist’s blunt courtroom remark.

Barrows on Philippines governance and labor in 1909 hearing
David P. Barrows testifies before the Senate committee on the Philippines noting most literate adults in the islands are Christianized and that arable land is largely claimed. He says Filipinos are the agricultural element, with few white workers ready to labor in sun, and that capital will seek agriculture rather than manufacturing. He believes Filipinos are eager to support Taft's policies but doubts they will ever govern themselves. The passage also includes a dubious advertisement about Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for Children.
