THAT NEW HOTEL

Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream:
That those: fancy hotel projects
Were not all that they did seem.
oh. We talked about It. daytlmes
And We dreamed about 1t nights,
And had that hotel located
. On a hundred different sites.
Twas to be a gorgeous structure
Like the towering Pontchartrain.
And we gazed upon the pictures
And we turned to gaze again.
u
Everybody tried to build it.
And they strapped to see who would
There was rivalry undreamed OF
When they got to going good.
Twas project interesting
To so many moneyed men
That instead OF one new hotel
We expected eight or ten.
Twas vital thing. they argued.
We must have one in a week
Or our village would go surely
On the hummer, so to speak.
In the distant past they said this
And their language was some curt,
But.we ATE, still waiting vainly,
For nobody breaks the dirt.

THE SOUTH THE SALVATION OF
THE COUNTRY.

An interesting map of the United
tates was recently published. 1t was
an eye opener 1t showed that in
MANY Northern and Western states
the number of alien born exceeds that
Of the native born In other states the
aliens constituted from 25 to 30 per
sent of the population. 1t is only
when the South is reached that the
old American stock is found to pre-
dominate. Here there are so few al
lens that they constitute almost a
negligible part of the population. The
South is to-day the great bulwark OF
the old ideals, old traditions and old
faiths of the land. The rest of the
country is in danger of being swamp
ed by the horde of immigrants from
lands other than those that furnished
the original settlers of the country.
And with this vast incoming horde
there has come socialism and anarchy,
irreligion and infidelity.
Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky
recognized this in his recent speech at
Philadelphia where he addressed the
bankers. taking as his topic THE
South and Socialism" His remarks
were instructive and gave a truthful
picture of the men of the South of to-
day, still firm in their allegiance to
true democratic principles, still cher
ishing the belief that Jefferson laid
the foundation of Democracy suftic-
iently broad to endure for all time
Said Senator James in his speech:
Il come from the South that will b,
the home of the last defenders of this
Republic and it's institution In thu
olden days of Rome, when one wanter
protection from the hands of ciolence.
he sought the statue of the Empero.
The South today is to that belief, and
every one of her sons holds to it tina
those who want protection mus
stand under the ample folds of the Re-
publiC's flag and under the protection
of the Constitution of this great Gov
eminent itself They want to war fO-
the right of property in its last analy-
sis-the right of the States. They
fought for it, and you will find that
sentiment is deeply embedded in the
| heart Of every Southerner.
He does not want dollar that any
other man makes All he wants is :
chance, under equal laws, to max,
dollars for himself. And You VIII,
know anything of our people will fin
that when YOUR cities of the East ar.
teeming with Socialists, are seethine
with discomfort, you may look to tha
quiet land. When you needed a gen
eral to lead the army of liberty to the
goal of victory, you looked to The
South. When you needed a hand t.
write the heart beats of every mar
that ever yearned to be free. you look
ed to the South, and for all ages, an,
all times and all peoples, you calleC
upon the South, and she responds
