A Shortage Of Railroads.

A recent speech Of James J. Hill, the
great railroad magnate. at Mer-
chants Club banquet at Chicago. has
been the occasion of very widespread
discussion all over the country. In it
Mr.. Hill presented some facts and
figures and INDUCED in some prophecies
that were of more than passing inter-
est. In the very beginning he COM
bat:ed the prevailing idea that rail-
road building in this country-which
has been so rapid that at the close of
1904 the United States had $4,000 more
miles of railroads than the whole OF
Eurcpe-had been considerably in ex-
cess Of the industrial needs of the
country. Mr.. Hill showed that during
the past 10 years, while the business of
this great country of ours has in
creased ITO per cent, or more tnan
doubled. railroad construction during
the same period had increased only 20
per cent. In view of this fact Mr.. Hill
asserted with emphasis, and with APP
parent reason, that the growth of our
railroads had been far short of the in
dustrial demand for them, and that the
| development of our great systems OF
communication was destined to be
vastly more rapid in the future than 1t
had been in the past.
There were also some very interest
ing figures and comparisons given in
Mr.. Hills speech which are worthy OF
more than passing interest. coming as
they do from a man of his recognized
ability to speak with accuracy and witt
authority upon these questions. He
gives the total wealth of the United
States in 1870 as $50, O0O, 100000. In 1900
a period of only three decades. it hat
grown to 1914 OSO, 900, 900. Up to the yeal

Immigration in the South.

Nowhere in the United states mas
there been a more remarkable indus
trial development in the past two
decades than in the Southern states,
and the opinion is quite general that
tho vast natural resources of this Sec
ton of our country are as yet but par
tiallv developed. Already many mil
hons of Northern capital are invested
has the South progressed in material
wealth that today she asserts her en-
FIRE ability to finance her own prob
lens of industrial progress. I'm
doub.edly this development in the
South would have been even more
rapid had that section of the country
hren able to have secured an ade-
u,ate and efficient supply of labor. A
great shortcoming of the negro is his
natural Incidence, and while he has
done, after a fashion, the bulk Of the
manual labor in the South from the
early days of the republic. he has
never been a dependable quantity. A
traveller through the South today can
| but be impressed with the crowds OF
great strong negro men who lounge
about the city and village streets. and
at the country crossroads content to
live from hand to mouth, and lacking
the rudimentary elements Of thrift and
| ambition. In the fields negro women
| will be seen at work, and it is evident
that such support as the family Sc
cures comes in many instances from
| them.
The improvidence and laziness of the
negro race has been a great drawback
to the progress of Southern industry,
| inasmuch as it has never been posi-
BILE to count upon their labor with GER
tainty from one day to another. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, to find that
| the Southern states are taking up with
| earnestness the work of securing i'm
migrants from other countries. notably
France and Germany large num-
Der of girls from these countries ar
rived in Charleston recently and i'm
mediately secured situations as ser
wants in private families at first-class
| wages, wages in fact that far exceeded
| those paid to the inefficient negroes
who had been employed by these same
people prior to that time.

| with which to start the work of secur-
