SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY
SAM H. HARDwICK DISCUSSES IM-
 MIGRATION.
Passenger Traffic Manager of Southern Railway Suggests that Foreign Ambassadors be Invited to In-
 vestigate Our Resources

"The South is on the threshold of the greatest era of prosperity. The whole civilized world is now looking our way" said s. H. Hardwick of Wash ington. D. C., Passenger Traffic Man ager of the Southern Railway, who reached his old home in Montgomery yesterday to spend Christmas with his relatives.
 Since my residence in Washington for the past four years. and coming daily in contact with representative men of all parts of the world. have been able to realize more and more the needs and the opportunities of the South. I think every one agrees that what we need Is to turn the tide of de- sirable foreign immigration into the South. Volumes have been written and spoken about this, and yet what have we actually done as people? There are permanently resident in Washington the ambassadors and min isters of every country of the globe. There they are. on the east bank of the Potomac River and they never even cross over into our country The South sits in silent dignity seemingly indifferent, and yet the South Is the home of hospitality. No ambas- sador or minister Is invited over to see us in our homes, and in our beau tiful land magnificent opportunities such as would be so attractive to these gentlemen that If they came into the South and went back, and told but half to their people, do you not know that the tide would at once set in our way
 Suppose Montgomery and several other Southern cities. for example. were to invite the ambassador Of Great Britain, Sir Mortimer Durand, to make them visit; would not the good, even in the invitation, be in- stantly of some value. Great Britain, you know, sends to the United states now every year next to the greatest number of immigrants of any one coun- try. Italy comes first.
 Then, suppose we were to invite Baron Speck won Sternberg of Ger many: M. Jusserand, the Ambassador of France, and so on; in due time each and every one of these prominent rep resentatives: would not results be most beneficial?
 Just think how many opportunities we are losing for lasting good. Con slider the tremendous benefit it would be to us if upon his recent visit to the United States, the Archbishop of Canterbury could have been induced to come down South to see our people our land and our institutions as they really are.
 Just how all this might be man aged in detail. calls for thoughtful consideration. But 1t seems to me the time is now at hand. Up to this time the flow of immigration has been through the Central West to the North. west and the far West. but the lands or the Government and or the rallroaos out that way are being largely taken up. and 1t is this which causes the world to be looking now toward the South. besides the glorious prosperity of the SoueM is reaching the ears or all parts of the world.
 While here, MT. Hardwick will dis cuss these suggestions with his busi- ness friends of Montgomery, and 1t IS probable something will be done In thiS regard in the near future.

Mosaic from Commentaries.

Nevertheless ("But"): With this transi- tional word the prophet passes from the dark picture of the gloom and distress of those who are led away into captivity to the brighter one of that new dawn which portends the glorious consummation of the Messianic era.-Peloubet.
 Dimness: Accumulated darkness,-Clark. Land of Zebulum: Parts that first and principally suffered in the Assyrian inva- sion. first also to enjoy the blessings of Christs preaching.-Ibid
 For it does not remain dark where there is now distress: In the first time he brought into disgrace the land of Zebulum and the land of Naphtali. and in the last he brings to honor the road by the sea the other side of Jordan the circle of the Gentiles.-De- litzsch.
 The development of a definite expectation of Messiah was gradual. and a greater distinction scope must not be attributed to 1t at any given epoch of Jewish history than has been actually attained--Peloubet.
 The height of glorification would corre- spond to the depth of the disgrace.-Ibid.
 These countries would be the very first remembered when the morning dawn of glory should break.-Ibid.
 The Messianc hopes of the Jewish nation were really directed toward Galilee.-Ibid.
 Talmud and Aidrash both taught that redemption would break forth from Tiber- ias-Ibid.
 Land of shadow: Deadly shade. properly title of the Hebrew Hades-a night like that of Hades.-Cheyne
 The gist of the section: Assyria shall overwhelm Israel and crush her. She shall remain awhile In gloom and darkness. but at length the darkness shall be dispelled. first in the north, then over all the land. and the Child shall be born.-Pulpit Com.
 The light first streamed forth in this quarter glorifying the region on which con- tempt had been poured.-Ibid.

THE TEACHERS LANTERN.


 Philosophy had proved egregious fatl- ure. Wisdom could not know God. The sage could not save the people who lived on the same street with him. let alone the
 whole mass. Culture was at one end of the beam and morals at the other: as culture | rose. morals sank. Roman law, Greek re- | fnement. had proved equally impotent to save. It seemed if the advent was de- layed fin order that the ineffciency of all
 human expedients might be thoroughly dem | onstrated
 fine illustration of this, of the nature force. and integrity of prophecy. Isaiah graphically describes what the moral con dition of the race shall be at given epoch. He describes the sudden entrance of new | corrective force. unlike any which had ever | been used before: weaponless, but victor ious kingdoms. He becomes more explicit. He defines the person of the King, enumer- ates His titles. describes the spread and per- petuity of His kingdom.
 The soldier is waning factor in current civilization. The assertion may seem para . doxical in view of the terrible war wag- | ing. However this very war has itself just furnished an incident of the possibility of avoiding war. altogether by arbitration. Wars have become increasingly infrequent. The present may be the last. Isaiah's bless ed prophecy is on the eve of fulfillment, l., For every boot of those who tramp with | boots in the tumult and (every) cloak rolled | In blood shall be for burning, food Of fire v (Deltzsch) All the accouterments of war its weapons offensive and defensive. its lblood-spattered uniforms-all shall be in | cinerated The horrid demon of human hate | shall give up the ghost. There shall yet be | universal righteousness peace and joy. The universal and millennal extension of | the Kingdom of God does not involve the | overthrow of existing civil governments. In. | stead of supplanting them. 1t will infuse | them with it's principles. It does not even | necessitate the perpetuation of any existing | ecclesiastical organizations. In its final
 analysis the kingdom expresses itself in the | moral qualities of human souls. It Is the
 universal spread of goodness. and this may be achieved without organized religion The human means for the extension of | the kingdom of God seems utterly made quate. But the history of Gods ancient people furnishes a helpful and inspiring | analogy. Tt shall be as in the days of

 band was paltry in numbers. His resources
 were grotesquely inadequate - trumpets.

 THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
 (Christmas LessOn.)
 Tn the spirited style of Hebrew poetry the prophet throws himself beyond, in point of time, the event which he is describing. and speaks of it as having already occurred. He takes the mantle of night to represent the moral state of the people. They were groping in a deathly shadow. Leaders were as blind as the led. All was rayless. cheer less. hopeless. Suddenly, to the anointed vision of Israeps noble seer. there bursts through the ieaden pail such a light as Is never seen on land sea. He is ready to cry. It is
 The Star, the Star of Bethlehem!". The great darkness is matched by great light. It floods not the great plains alone, but penetrates the deepest moral chasms of earth. How must Isaiah's heart have giowed at such goody sight! He was in . rapture. Halielujah his lips,
 He sees a goodly company, an ever-in- creasing throng, who walk in this new light. Kingdoms of earth. islands of sea. are stead lily merged into it. It spreads from the river
 
 the throng keeps pace with its ever-aug- rnenting proportions. It is joy like that when, after all the heat and toll. the har- vest is shouted home; like that after battle, when Victors divide spoil.
 And this deliverance from darkness-this lifting of the yoke of sin despair and death, is recognized by the prophet su- pernatural and Divine. The earthly means of It's accomplishment unequal as Gideon's lamps and pitchers against the grasshopper multitudes of Mijianites and Amalekites
 The earthly, historic means of victory is always through the awful din and carnage of battle But here is weaponless vio- tory in which the very instruments of hu man warfare, so far from being used. shall be burned up or beaten into the implements of hnsbandry

That Is Charge Against III. N. Baum

latter wanted Baum to show some au-
thority- Don't need it, the latter
is said to have replied. "I'lI get my

that he thinks Baum is the same man

marshal and in that way worked some
people for other things. Il shall give
him a thorough hearing" said Mr..
Mackey this morning His case will
be investigated. / think him the right
man. L do not believe that there was
any gang of them doing this kind of
business. A case of that kind is very
rare. 1t is seldom that any man will
take the risk of passing himself off as
a federal officer. 1 do not know how
much money he obtained. Those who
were worked by him will all be brought
to Wichita In that way we can ascer-
tain more facts about the matter"
The prisoner did not travel under the
name of Baum. He used a number of
other fictitious ones He is probably
about 40 years of age, weighs 10
pounds, has sandy hair and a sandy
mustache.
1t is not known just how long he has
been at work, although the officers say
that they have had knowledge of the |
matter for just two months. 1t is so
foolhardy thing to do, for any man |
to impersonate a federal officer and get |
government money in that guise, that |
liquor dealers, in the habit of paying |
regular licenses would not suspect a
collector unless some unusually pecu-
liar condition presented itself. 1t may
be possible therefore that Baum may
have been at his work for a consider
able length of time.

NOT THE RIGHT MAN.
Train Robber Says John Christie Was
Not His Partner.

Helena, Mont, Aug. George f.
Hammond who is in jail here denies
positively that John Christie, arrested
by Northern Pacific officials at Hope
y. D., or the charge of being impIi-
Gated in the recent holdup of the
north coast limited at Bearmouth, was
his partner in crime. On the con-
trary his assistant in that affair, he
says, has gone to Canada. Hammond
also said he had hidden in a safe
place securities taken from the ex-
press safe worth fully 100000. He
says that he will not divulge the place
of concealment until after his trial and
that if he is given the extreme penalty
under train robbery charges. he never
will disclose it. Northern Pacific Of
hcials assert that the securities re-
ferred to by Hammond are vaIueless,
consisting of cancelled express money
orders.
