Depew on the South.


The Hon. Chapncey NJ. Depew, in
an address to the Alumni Association
of Yale University, said of his recent
tour through the Southern States ::
g The net results of this visit to the
South, to my mind, is just this; that
the South is the bonanza of the flu
ture. We have developed all the
great and sudden opportunities for
weather. most of them-in the
Northwestern States and on the Pa
cific Slope, but here is a vast country
with the best climate in the world,
with conditions of health which are
absolutely unparalleled: with vast
forests untouched; with enormous
veins of coal and iron which yet have
not known anything beyond their
original conditions; with soil that,
under proper cultivation. for little
capital can support a tremendous
population; with conditions in the at
mosphere for comfortable living win
ter and summer, which exist nowhere
else in the country; and that is to be
the attraction Tor the young men who
go out from the farms to seek settle
ment and not by immigration from
abroad, for I do not think they will
go that way, but by the internal i'm
migration from our own country it is
to become in time as prosperous as
any other section of the country and
as prosperous by a purely American
development

The Farmers alliance Journal of
Baltimore, of February 20, says:
Among the leading, hest known
and most reliable life insurance man.
ayers in Baltimore to-day can be
named Mr.. Fl. B. Meigs, whose we'll
ordered offices are centrally located
in the Bank of Baltimore Building,
corner of Baltimore and st. Paul
streets. He is the manager for the
southeastern department. comprising
the State of Maryland, District of
Columbia, Virginia and West Yir-
ginia, for the well and favorabIy
known company, the Etna, of Hart
ford. Conn, which was Incorporated
in 1919, and whose charter is per-
petual. This company has since its
organization paid benefciaries over
SIS, 000,SS0. assets over S37, OOO,-
900, surplus over Sc, 100000. Isn't
the showing that of company which
you think you can afford to tie to?
Figures that speak for themselves in
a manner that places the Etna far
beyond the need of any praise from
US. 1t offers the yery lowest rates
for safe insurance, and excels other
companies in ratio of interest-lncome
to expenses and death claims, also in
dividends to its patrons. AS an in
vestment, the Etna endowment offers
advantages that are unqualified for
safety, reliability and strength. The
Etna cannot be surpassed,

Senator Kenna on Free silver.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March g.
Senator Kenna does not favor the
policy of postponing the discussion
of the silver question in Congress or
seeking to evade the Issue. He
said to day he was just as firm in his
conviction as ever. that the free
coinage. of silver would be good
thing for the people, and the more
he heard the matter discussed the
stronger his conviction became. In
spite of the conspiracy of the mon
led classes against silver for the last
fifteen years and the persistent war
fare on it, there has not been day
in all that time when the silver dol
lar was below par. 1t has held its
place steadily even when put at q
disadvantage by hostile legislation
and would continue to do so if free
coinage were adopted.

Under the new apportionment for
the House of Delegates, as our read
ers will recollect, jefferson and
Berkeley counties are given one
delegate each, and the three counties
of Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan
are constituted delegate district
and given two delegates at large.
1t will therefore be necessary (this
being Democratic district) for
some arrangement to he arrived at
whereby the three counties will each
be justly dealt with in the selection
of candidates for these positions.
We know of no better way than for
the Democratic Executive Commit
tees (not merely the chairmcn) of
the three counties to get together
and arrange the matter amicably to
suit all parties. Morgan. of course,
will be conceded one delegate, I'M
less it be at the election (every fifth
term) when she gets State Senator.
The remaining delegates will, of
course, be alternated between Jeffer-
son and Berkeley-the county get
ting the first term to be decided upon
as may be found fairest after a full
exchange of views on the subject.
There should be no difficulty as to
the matter of nomination after the
arrangement for apportionment be-
tween the counties is effected.
