Openings in the South.

A remarkable review OF the
present status of the South was
oiyen in the Senate Friday by
Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana
His presentation of the conditions
resources and needs of the South
was mastery for its grasp OF
general questions and its wealth
Of detail. The wonderful riches
Of that splendid region in soil,
minerals, timber, waters ana
climate, together with the oppor-
tupities that await enterprlsing
settlers we're never set forth more
impressiveIy. Senator Ransdeil's
speech is compendium of intor-
nation which every American
should read and every homeseeker
take to heart.
Itl IS gratifying that the new
spirit of the South is for lmml-
grafton and expansion. Its people
no longer look indifferently upon
the rich and vitalizing flood OF
immigration that swept to the
West and built up empires, whlle
passing by the great opportunities
in the South. The departure oi
tens of thousands of Americans
for Canada, taking millions o.
ldollars with them, has aroused
the South and caused it to make
an appeal to these citizens to turr
southwark instead of northwart
when they seek to better thel
condition.
Unquestionably the region undeI
the American flag that will MAKE
greatest strides in the next decade
-
lis the South, from Virginia t.
Isouthern California. Already th'
movement is in full swing, as i
shown by increasing land values
bigger and more diversified crops
extension OF mining, manufacture
and comm e 'ce, road building
