Shall they be southern young altogether depends upon the equipment of heart, andmind, and hand. The tenant of gossip corners, the tattlerof doubtful stories, the boy who says tomorrow when theduty of today faces him—these are not the young men whowill ride. The riders will be those who know the Southand know that they know it. The statesmen who see morein political life than mere self-serving honors; the studentswho are technically trained in hand and brain; the boys offine birth who hear the call, by those who have gone YOU^fG MEN IN tHE SADDLE t t to live for those who are to come after; the boys who deter-mine to be well equipped and thus to follow in the steps ofhonorable men, living and dead—these are the young menwho will ride. Young men must give earnest heed to all movementsthat will help them to understand the great South and itscoming commercial victory. Numbers of such young menwill be in Washington at the Southern Commercial CongressDecember 6th and 7th; for by no other means can they comein touch with so many thoughtful men from so manystates, all brought together by the common purpose of work-ing for a greater Nation through a greater South.

It advisedly brought together men ofscience, to show by positive facts what are the great inalien-able resources of the South in coastline, rivers, forests, min-erals, temperature, rainfall, etc. The purpose of thatmeeting was to show the sure basis of a greater South.
