Reflections Concerning South-
ern Problems.

With the Inauguration of Pres
ident-elect Wilson in immediate
prospect, it might not be unprof-
liable to indulge few reilec-
tions concerning the Opportunl-
ties and responsibilities Of the
South. Mr.. Wilson is South
ern man, but he was not elected
to the presidency for sectional
reasons, but because the people
believed him to be better equip
ped than his competitors were to
deal with the problems which the
party represented by the other
two candidates had SO utterlT
failed to solve.
While proud of his Southern
birth and ancestry. we are quite
sure that what Mr.. Wilson most
desires is to he regarded by the
people as an American and not
as sectional President. Every
Southern well-wishrr should be
inspired blythe same high motive
and thereby help to make il easy
,--icr the new President to give to
neSeuptry an impressive object
lesson in broad. non-sectiOnal adj
ADMINISTRATION, national in its
scope and character and meas
uring fully up to the standard set
by the majestic Americans OF
the elder day, before the gov
crnment fell under the dOmina-
ton of spoilsmen and into the
dough of sect!onalism.
This much by way Of premise.
As never before, opportunity is
knocking at the d"or Of the South,
but it should be remembered that
- il is not through the channels Of
political eminence that our high
est destinies are to be wrought.
If, as Americans, We are proud OF
our Southland, it behooves us tc
ascertain the true condition OF
the section in which our lots are
cast, whether these conditions
compare favorably with those ex-
isting in other sections and if not,
why. We must have the candor
to look the situation squarely in
the face, the honesty to acknOw-
ledge the truth and the courage
to remedy the eyils-if such be
found to exist.
AS matter of fact, and speak
ing as a Southern journal, the
Country Review would be untrue
to the people If it attempted to
blink the fact, standing out from
every page in the census statis-
tics and written in the reports
of our own exchanges, markets
and official records that, with the
most productive lands and the
finest stock of people on earth,
we are far behind other sections
of the country in point Of mater
ial achievement. We are too
much prone to satisfy our con-
sciences for the existence of this
situation with the explanation
that it was the natural 'conse-
quence Of the great war between
the states.
1t is true that the statistician
has not yet been born who can
concentrate in cold figures the
inconceivable loss inflicted upon
the South by that appalling con-
flict. In order to be fair let us
maze every allowance for the
