Before in anywav touching upon the features of the jirogram it is well 1o understand that the Southern Commpi- cial Congress is not the name oi hii annual meeting, but is the luiuie of a movement born in 190S from the con viction that whereas, a message, sv^nt ‘A. ‘‘“’‘“■^.out from the South in 1S61, 'ed to >\a>S dliU mi? :T means, and brought before the house. “This is a newspaper bill," he de clared. "Xev.spaper greed for free print paper i.s behind this free trade proposition. Opposition to measures has been minimized and a false sen timent created in favor of it by the newspaper interests. This bill is un called for by the majority of onr peole. It i.s unreublilcan and incon sistent with the policy of protec tion.” -Mr. Dalzell was interrupted by applause from the democratic side. "It is an abandonment,” he resum ed, "of the doctrine of protection and an espousal of free trade. It is class legislation of the most obnoxious character—it strikes at the American farmer.” * Mr. Underwood, in his speech, had said he did not believe the reciproc ity agreement would reduce the pi'ce of farm products. It would demon strate. he declared that protection, so far as the farmer is concerned, was humbug. The American farmer is too independent in his field, Mr. Underwood said, to need ap rotective tariff. struggle and immeasurable misel^ anci national agony, the time had come for a new message to go out of the South to the nation couched in the langt’age of commerce, which is the language of peace and based upon the natural re sources of the South and their signifi cance in increasing national strength. It is not necessary to detail the w'ork of the past three years, but day after day, the men of the in’esent generation wlio set to themselves the task of framing up this inessa.ge to the nation and to the world have quietly worked forward towards a moment when, in a day, the South and its meaning to the nation might reach every thinking mind in the I’nited States and thus seep away -foi’ever the barrier of mis understanding that was created by the ^ar between the states. It will now be seen hy the third an nual convention of the Southern Com mercial Congress is a national event and it will also be easy to understand whv President Taft and tw'o of his cabinet officers. Governor Woodrow Wilson, (who, by the way, is a \ir- ginian,) the Governors of all the Southern States, and more than a hundred sneakers distinguished in the business affairs of the nation will be in Atlanta to witness the new union of the South along the lines of con- ■ d F'rcss.

Dealing with the eighth division first, an idea of the weight and charac ter of the whole program can be ob- Stained The South’s higher thought in business will be described by William G. McAdoo, of New Yoi^, born in Georgia, under the topic—“Corpora tions and the Public.” The South s higher thought in education will be described by Chancellor Houston, (born in North Carolina, educated in South Carolina, for long’ the head of the University of Texas and now head ing Washington University, of St. Louis, Missouri,) under the topic. “The South’s Educational Obligation.” The S6uth’s higher thought in politics will be described by Governor Woodrow Wilson, under the topic—“The Citizen and the State.” The South’s higher thought in law will be described by Secretary of War Dickinson, of Tenne ssee, under the topic—“The Enforce ment of Law in the South." The will come a serins of resolutions or atfirmations to be read prior to Presi dent Taft's si)eech, as the 1,'ody of affir mations regarding the whole South and its interests. It is impossible in the space available to detail the speeches to be delivered in each sec tion. The Water Resources section may be taken as a sample of the thoroughness v.ith which each gr'at interest of .the South will be consider ed. M. O. Leighton, chief hydrograi>her of the I'nited States geological sur vey, will speak on "The Significance of the South’s Water Resaurces.” Phil ip P. Wells, counsel of the national conservation association, will speak on “The Ownership of Rnnning Wa ters and their Development.” Captain W. P. Lay. of Gadsen, Alabama, will speak on “Federal and State Co-opera tion in Water Power Development on Navigable Streams.” Cano Dunn, vice- president of the Crocker-Wheeler Com pany and a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, will speak on Hydro-Electric corporations, their duties and responsibilities.” In the sixth division of the program, “The World as a ]\Iarket for the South,” Senator Hernando D. Money, retiring senator from Mississippi, and who. for more than thirty-five years, has been a close student of the ques tion of an Isthmian Canal, will speak on “The Obligations of the Panama Canal.” Ambassador Jusserand has chosen the following happy title for a speech—"Old France to New France.” Hon. John Barrett, director of the In ternational beaureaii of American re publics, will speak on the subject— “Make ready for the Panama Canal.” He will be followed by Charles H. Sherrill, our minister to Argentine, who will make a thoroughly practical speech on “Organizing f©r Foreign Trade.” It is anticipated that .there will be in Atlanta other important Ambassadors beside the Ambassador from France, but final announcement is not yea possible. The division devoted to “The Solid South of Business’’ will be intensely interesting.
