The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-12-12

The Washington Post says the South
is wrong in paying any attention what
ever to Senator Plat of New York,
Keifer of Ohio, Morrell of Pennsylvania
and other disturbers of the peace, who
are trying to gain a little notoriety by
introducing into Congress bills to re-
duce the South's representation. What
perplexes u.s." says the Post, sis the
south's simplicity in lending itself to
this astounding comedy. The specta-
Gle is touching enough. Here are GER
tain Republican gentlemen who think
1t worth their while to breach con-
troversy in which they have nothing to
lose and everything to gain, but which
would fall fiat and expire Of hamilton
If no one noticed it." The notice that
the Southern men are taking of the
thing is what gives it life. There is
no more prospect of Platt's bill, or of
MorrelPs bill, passing Congress than
there is of the sky falling; and yet a
whole lot of bother is being made
about them. Platts power is broken,
and nobody knows or cares anything
about Morrell.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: at is a fair question, after all,
whether it is not harder for a Chinese
traveller to get into the United States
than II is for an American Jew to get
into Russia. Public affairs are full
of such delightful Inconsistencies The
President complains in his message
because Russia does not issue pass
ports to our Jews, yet a Chinaman
can go through the eye OF a needle
almost as easily as he can pass
through the port of San Francisco"
The Chattanooga Times Oem.) says:
eff Mr.. Williams and Senator Bacon
will go to their places in the National
Congress and do all they can to main
tain the full representation Of the
South and lend themselves to the main
tenance of the Democratic party on
its old time principles and policies,
they will go a long way toward pre-
venting a division Of Southern politi-
cal sentiment and reconcile the people
to the cheerful acceptance of what

time have In store for them. The

Col. Watterson's advice reminds me

gravely: Il can only give you advice,

But the future of electrical traction
depends upon the cheapening of the

AS is very well known. every time

The steam locomotive is a direct-act-

ITALIANS For THE SOUTH.

It is understood that the Italian am
bassador at Washington, Sig. Mayor
des Planches, is devoting himself to
immigration from the North and East
into the South. The ambassador be-
lieves, and no doubt correctly, that it
would be better for his countrymen
who come to the United States from
agricultural districts in Italy to seek
the South rather than to stop in the
crowded cities of the North and East
or the coal mines or railroad camps
of the Middle West. He has gathered
statistics which show that the vast
majority of the italian immigrants are
from agricultural communities. That
they do not seek to become farm la
iborers or farm owners when they
reach America is due to the fact that
earning money at once to provide for
their immediate wants. Their urgent
necessities drive them into the ac-
ceptance of the first work they can
find at any wages they can get.
Ambassador des Planches is sure
that, with the proper sort of encour-
agement, a considerable percentage of
these incoming Italians could be di-
verted to the South, with profit to the
immigrants and as we'll to the South
ern section. During several seasons
past the South has lacked for farm
laborers, and in the cities the servant
problem has BECOME more or less
acute. The ambassador feels that a
reasonable influx of Italian immigra-
tion would remedy these conditions, and
might indeed help in the solution OF
the race problem. Recently some tens
of thousands of Italians, from the ag-
ricultural districts of Southern italy.
have settled in Louisiana. They are
said to have prospered and become
good citizens. They become small
farmers, buying their lands on time
and paying for them from the results
of their crops. They have engaged in
cotton and rice planting. All Of the
members of the family work in the
fields. and there is no trouble expert
enced by them in either cultivating or
harvesting the crops. They are frugal
and energetic. and some families that
have been in the state three years
have already paid for their lands.
Some time in January the ambassa-
dor purposes visiting the South to see
what he can do in the matter of plac-
ing more of his countrymen in this
section. EIe Will visit the Carolinas.
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi.
Louisiana and Texas for the purpose of
ascertaining the prices of lands, the
area of lands available for settlement

ton of agricultural Italians would be
