ROOM AT THE SOUTH.
Cheap Land and Good Climate Bound
to Attract New Settlers.

FROM me Boston Herald.
Not southerners alone, but many intelli-
gent and keen-eyed visitors to that section
Of our country are turning the old advice
of Horace Greeley IN this fashion. GO
south, young man." With the better cli-
mate great and varied natural resources
sparser population and cheap land. it has
been, and is, a puzzle why more foreign i'm
migrants and more of the "movers-on
from the crowded portions of the east and
middle west do not go south" Some years
ago the lawlessness in parts of that section,
and perhaps a survival of the wars ami
mositIes kept northernerS away. But now
the south is, as a rule, orderly, and the
embers of the conflict that ended nearly
forty years ago have no heat in them
Why, then, do not more of our young
men go south?' Partly, perhaps, because
Of the prevalence of negro labor, with
which, in spite of their ideas of political
liberty and equality" northern workmen
do not like to compete under the conditions
created by a preponderating number of
blacks. The prevalent dilapidation in large
sections of the south, due to the ravages
of war, the cessation of slave labor and
the poverty of the people, has no doubt OPP
Grated as a deterrent influence with thrifty
agriculturists and ambitious mechanics and
artisans. Yet nothing is surer than that
the great natural advantages of that Sec
ton will yet draw an increasing number OF
settlers. And it would be safe to predict
that energetic temperate, industrious and
ambitious young men who go south TO stay
during the next few years will have fine
chance to repeat the success of those who
went from the east TO the west generation
two ago.
That there Is room enough for all corners
is shown by the Florida Times-Unfon, In
its striking grouping of comparisons For
example: IF every man, woman and child
in Italy should drop down in Texas to-
morrow, that state would still need the en-
tire population of France to give 1t as
many people to the square mile as Italy
now has, or the population of England,
Wales, Ireland and Scotland could move in
a body into Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian
territory and Oklahoma and when 1t had
settled there the population Of Holland and
Belgium would be needed to give those
states density of population equal to that
of the united kingdom And still again:
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Kentucky could find room for all the
people of the German empire without being
any more crowded than Germany is now"
Finally, without coming on this side of the
Mississippi river the south has room for
about l300O0,000 people from Europe, and
would then be not much more than half as
thickly settled as Massachusetts is now
So that the invitation to come south is
really hoSpftable.

the friendly attitude toward Norway

PROTECTION FROM KISSES,
Infant Prince Olaf of Norway Needs
Attention of a Guard.
Special Cablegram TO The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star
CHRIST1ANA, January 10.-The little
Prince Olaf. son Of King Haakon and
Queen Maud, has had to be protected from
the affecttonate displays of the ladies OF
the capital. He is taken out by his nurse
for daily run in the Queens Park, where
popular demonstrations for the future
king, says the Dagbladet, have exceeded all
bounds of propriety.
The baby prince has been surrounded at
every turn by assemblies of admiring la
dies, who have simply showered kisses upon
him. This conduct has naturally given
some concern to the royal parents, who
have been obliged, much to their regret, to
order the park to be closed to the public
for the protection Of the crown prince

creased somewhat, the number of women
who choose to die relatively increases
The percentage Of women suicides has
risen from 19.5 of the whole number in
1901 to 22.5. 1t is believed here by writ
ers on the subject that as women con-
tinue to take part in the struggle for life
and enter upon new occupations the num-
Der of them who commit suicide will con-
tinue to increase. The official statistics
can assign no cause for about one-fifth
of the total number of suicides. Tempo
rary insanity caused one-fourth of these,
and the deaths of 10 per cent were at
morse, shame and to the stings of con-
science, and nearly 10 per cent to the
raVages OF alcohol.
