From the New orleans Picayune.

ulnk Of movement SOutnWdru, l, of the same charac CT which a fe W years ago built up the great West to it's present comm anding posi- tion in agricultural and financial strength, and will result in turn ing the tide of American emigra- tion into Canada to our own coun- try, where the genuine American has everything in his favor," said Manager M. B. Trezevaut of the New Orleans Progressive Union, in discussing the outlook for 1910.
 "The foreshado wing of this impending movement has been shown in many different ways, but all leading to oue conclusion and one idea-that the eyes of the
 leaders of thought and action in the over-crowded East, West and North are being turned on the South and it's vast possibilities. The newspaper and the periodical are seeking articles about the South, photograph, etc. Today TO less than five of the most in- fiuential publications in America have announced their intention to devote themselves to the explolta- tion of the South, duo to tue fact that they consider 1t the coming section of the United Stat These five are Hearst's New York American. the New York Tribune, Golfers Weekly, the Buffalo Ex- press and the Chicago Record- Herald.
 Golfers Will Boom South.
 "In the issue of Golfers Week. ly of December IS, the following significant editorial paragraph appeared:
 !" Golfers for January P will be Southern number. We take that meaus to give emphatic set ting and the widest possible dis semination to the idea that the South is the next West. What has gone on in the West during the past three decades will take place in the South during the next three. The line of immigra- tion within the United States, which for century have flowed west and northwest, will turn south and southeast. We wish our Southern number not only to develop this idea of material ex- pansion. but to treat as adequately as possible the South's charms and interest from every point of view.
 :That the South will prove a most potent agency m turning the tide of Americaa emigration now going to Canada, to my mind, is uuquestionable, and the right sort of work On modern and intelligent lines will bring this ahnnt. The United States has lost hundreds of thousands Of inhabitants ard millions of dol lars through the lure of the Ca uadian Northwest. These inhab- itants came from the Middle West and the East, not from the South It was brought about by highly skilled work on the part of the Canadian railroad in conjunction with the Canadian government. IS still going on. How to stop this drain upon American citizen ship ard resources is still prob lem, but 1 believe the Scu' h offers the solution. The American cIti- zens wno flock to Canada are the best and most desirable; fhe thrifty, investing farmer of the West and New England. Ii they must go why should they be al- lowed to leave the Uuited States and take their energy and re sources with them2 They must be shown better way, and the new movement toward the South is the first outward manifestation of what great national journals such as Golfers Weekly believes to be the rising tide of country wide invasion and exploration of the South. Already the home of the best of the Augln-Saxon race in America. the South with it's vast and practically untouched riches, will feel the pulse of a new life--or commercial, social and industria development, which will surpass eveu that huge move l. s-r \
