Sectional Loyalty.

There is to be a meeting of govern
ors of the southern States at Richmond
next May to discuss the resources o.
their section and to suggest some
practical method of inducing immi
grafton.
In abiding to the approval of the
project by the governor of West Vir
ginia, the Richmond Dispatch says:
The average West Virginian is as
loyal to the south as are his brethren
of old Virginia, and we are always
glad to see any movement anywhere
which recognizes the fact that West
Virginia is a southern State.
We keep alive the war-worn plati-
tude about loyalty to the South? What
has it to do with the objects for which
the goveners are to meet? They want
to make known the resources of the
south and to secure capital and immi-
grations for developing them. Can
those objects be helped by appealing
to sectional prejudices and sectional
loyalty?
The north is sending millions of dol
lars every year to develop the vast re-
sources of the Appalachian region of
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Alabama. Northern capitalists,
mechanics and farmers are making
their homes there. Are not they quite
as ''loyal'' to the south as the govern
or of West Virginia or any other gov
ernor?
To raise the issue of loyalty under
such conditions is not only in bad taste
it is wrong in principle and in pol

the Democratic ticket under prom

would bring them better prices for
their wool. With the Democratic
threat OF FREQ wool staring them in

against possible loss. The result
