Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rebuilding of Old Commonwealths, Being Essays Toward the Training of the Forgotten Man in the Southern States Their neighbour, Colonel Graham, says, Some men will rise and some men will not. Nothing can lift up the Med dlins. With this comfortable irrespon sibility, he has never seriously thought of their potential value to the State, nor (since they have always voted for him) as sovereign and possibly danger ous citizens. He sees men ranged in clearly defined classes, but he has never thought of them as a democracy. Nor has he ever included his thriftless black neighbour, Sam. Goode, in his thoughts of citizenship except at election times, when Sam., though dependent on him, has always voted against him.
