The Future of the South.

The south is large 1t yet remains thinly peopled and practically undevel. oped. Great as has been the industrial advance made, considerable as appears the present immigration movement. they but faintly foreshadow the develop ment now at hand. If so much has been done in the last so years under such dis. advantages and practically unaided by immigration, what may we not expect when that rich tide which has created the empire states of the northwest is turned in even greater volume south ward? Only the marvellous growth of the great west itself can guide the inn agination in attempting the forecast. and even that must be surpassed
 To the south unquestionably belongs the future. In such an expansion of it's population and wealth as even a single generation has witnessed in the west, its race problem must vanish, even though the emigration of the blacks should cease. Sectional lines must be plotted out and south and north merged in the indivisible Union, which is iden- tity of interest and conditions, as well as of blood, of language and of history. The people of the south are ready for this, the more perfect Union, the pro phetic aspirationn-never the attain ment-of the fathers. Louisville, Chat tanooga and Atlanta have spoken our feeling. 1t but remains for the people of the north to come and share "a0 the wonder that shall be. Forum.

YOUTHFUL PATRIOTISM.
It Is Well For the Boys and Girls to Share
 In Holiday Exeroises-

In Holiday Exoroiscs.
 Thanks to the inherent patriotism born with nearly every child that lives and brcathes, most of our boys and girls do know and understand what 1t means, this strewing with dowers the grass grown graves marked with un upright flag on Memorial day. Should the stranger with in our gntes Inquire at random what means the solemn parade, the young peo. pie would be few and far between who would fail of answering the question in- telligently. Such days are educators and produce far deeper impression than Is generally realized at the time.
 It Is said that the old time town meet ing was what made the stapchest, most fiery patriots In the days of our nation's earlier history. Perched on window silis, leaning on the backs of chairs, crowded in between tall men, huddled on tho plat form steps-anywhere, everywhere whore only footing could be seourcd-wore found the eager, interested lads, who found no greater treat or diversion than to creep into tho church or hall where town meet inm was to be hold. The excitement leap tug from eyes and tongues of tho speakers was reflected In the eyes and faces at loast of tho attentive boy who lost no part of the heated discussion, and long years be- fore they could vote each embryo patriot knew beyond tho shadow of h doubt which side he was on.
 The boys so rapidly grow into men, the urchins sometimes in the way at the po- litioal caucus so soon arc throwing vote or yielding power and authority in mu- nioipal affairs, it stands the nation in good stead to see to it that tho national holidays are observed in way to stir up all that Is truest and noblest in the hearts of the boys and girls. We say girls ad. visedly, aye, with emphasis. Many the good mother into the hearts of whose fa- therless boys have beon instilled such prin. oiples of honor, patriotism and equity that the land has reason to call her blessed.- Christian Work.
