GuTlielmo Ferrero, In the Atientic.
In all sincerity must confess that
when started for New York had many
of these ideas and prejudices myself. and
I expected to set foot In a modern baoys
Ion. II we read newspapers carelessly
without submitting their statements TO
careful investigation We end by warplns
our opinions even II we are reasonable
and educated persons.
Once landed in America. IT was easy
for me to see that in the legend there
was great exaggeration. For example.
there is such a thing as American luxury,
but 1t is very different from what the
European ina gines it to be. 1t is the
extravagance of the middle rather than
the upper classes. / have often had oc-
casion to note while In the company OF
men who live on salary-professional
men, business men and manufacturers OF
moderate means-that persons OF the
same status in Europe would live much
more simply or at least would spend less
freely than in America. But as for the
extravaganza Of the rich or very rich 1t
is indsputably greater in Europe.
The legend of the wild. unheard-of ex-
travagance Of the rich in America could
only have been created and circulated
throughout Europe by persons. whether
American or European. who had no idea
OF the extravaganza OF the rich CLASSES
in Europe, especially in those two great
centers Of European wealth-London and
Paris.
All I have seen and heard concerning
the vice of great American cities-alco-
holism, gambling. immorality-seems 20
me to be neither more nor less than /

rope / have noticed these sad features
of modern civilization, but they are no
more hideous in America than elsewhere.
shall never forget the evening which
spent with an agreeable and clever
journalist who took me to see the hor-
rors Of New York. For several hours we
went about to restaurants. bars and
places of amusement. ] saw and noted
with great attention what was pointed
out to me. but I could not help at last
coming to the conclusion that some day

tour around one of the great capitals OF
Europe I could show him much more.
Taking the Catholic countries OF Eu-
rope as a basis of comparison. the only
difference that I could perceive was that
In America the family tie is weaker. d.
vorce is too easy by far: the women are
too emancipated. the children too indie
pendent of parental control. In this re-
spect IL has seemed to me that America
has reached a limit beyond which really
dangerous social disorder lies.

Bills OF Lading To Be Used With
out Further Trouble

Savannah, Ca, September, 29.-
Savannah cotton, banking and trans
portation people believe that there
is now no danger of serious trouble
regarding the financing of cotton
bills of lading. 1t is understood that
the following plan will be followed
by them, and that it will serve to
move the cotton through this port
without hitch as heretofore.
1t is believed that the agents of
the railroads and steamship com
panies will certify that they have the
cotton in their possession, and the
banks will certify that they saw the
agents Of the steamships and rail
roads signs the bills of lading.
So far as Savannah is concerned
there will be a time and place fixed
for the agents of the transportation
lines and the banks to meet each
day and execute the documents
This, it is taken, certifies that the
cotton is in hand and is sufficient
guarantee.

Big Land Show.

Pittsburg, Pa, September Is
The agricultural resources OF the
South and the many advantages
which that section offers to the
homeseeker are going to be made
a distinct feature of the National
Land and Irrigation Exposition, pop
ularly known as "Pittsburss Big
Land Show" to be held in Pittsbure
at Duquesne Garden October 18th
to 29th, through the exhibit which
the Southern Railway Company has
ARRANGED to make through its Land

This exposition is backed by two
of Pittsburg's great daily papers and
will be the most comprehensive
show of its kind ever held. The
back to the soil" movement has
taken deep root in the denSely pop
ulated district around PlttSbure
where farmers are being driven out
of their fields by the encroachments
of factories, mines and oil wells. In
the city of Pittsburg there are $685.
900 souls while the population OF the
district within a radius of forty miles
is two and quarter million. The
show has been extensively adver-
tised in the Pittsburg district and
throughout the surrounding territory
Railroads have given rates that are
sure to aid in attracting thousands
to the show.
The Land and Industrial Depart
ment Of the Southern is equipped
to make a comprt hensive exhibit
showing the opportunities that await
the settler along its lines in the
Southeast and Land and Industrial
Agent M. V. Richards mill make the
very best possible display, feeling
that through the Pittsburg show ne
will reach just the people whom the
South wishes to attract.
In addition to the exhibit by the
Southern Railway the Pittsburg show
which has its Offices in the Keystone
building, Pittsburg, is endeavorine
to secure a number of exhibit from
chambers of commerce, boards O.
trade and other organizations in the
South, interested in the development
of that section.
