NEED OP IMMIQKANT8. Rtcantly Tbe News oommentcd u^a ths announced purpose of Sen&tor OTsnnsn to work for the cpeatloa of an Immigration bureau In North Caro lina. At the time w« stated that, as we understood the matter, there Is a law providing for such board. Funds in the agricultural department are sufficient and the wol'k proposed is of sufficient merit to call for action. The one great need of our state to« day is of more worthy settlers to join with UB in develc^ng our resources. In this connection the following from the Baltimore Sun is of interest: "The importance of attracting a good class of immigrants to the South is un der discusseion in a number of South ern newspapers just now, The-Sun quot ed at considerable langth from an edito rial on th subject in the Atlanta Consti tution a few days ago and suggested that Governor Crothers should call a conference of Southern governors and railroad presidents to be held in Bal timore during Maryland Week to con sider the question and adopt some general plan of dealing with it. North Carolina, like Georgia and other South ern states, realizes the necessity of attracting desirable immigrants, and is making efforts to get them. Comment* ingon this, the Raleigh News and Ob- server says: “Prom the last census there were something like 300,000 people born In North Carolina and living in other states and only something like 40,000 or 50.000 born in other states were liv ing In North Carolina. That sort of swap, now that North Carolina is get ting rich and prosperous, is not a con dition that the state is proud of. In the last 10 years this tide of Immigration has ceased and young men are staying dt home. Now that the tide has chang ed and North Carolina boys are stay ing at home, the next step is to get back as many as possible of those who went away In t^e days when the state was poorer and when they thought It offered fewer advantages. This is what is meant by the Back Home Movement which has been much advertised and stressed In the recent months. It culminated last month in the big convention at Charlotte, which organised a home seekers’ movement with Senator Lee S. Overman as presi dent and representative men as offi cers from all parts of the state. We need more folks In North Carolina. How shall we get them? The Back Home Movement points the way. It Is but tbe nucleus around which gather all the sentiment for securing immi* gration. It is based upon the right Idea. The state of North Carolina and the railroads and the great corpora tions as a matter of self-interest should get behind this movement and utilize its enthusiasm and organize for the effective work necessary to secure for "North Carolina its share of the trend of population which is now coming to ward the South. “The conference which The Sun sug gested thft other day would be in line with what individual states have been doing on a small scale, and could l>e made to serve as the basis for an or ganized scheme that would produce results. In the matter of immigration t^ West Is living largely upon its past reputation, which the sturdy, hustling people out there know Sow to use as an existing asset In the wa; of advertising. Conditions in that sec tion have changed very greatly In the last decade, and the land of promise for the immigrant and the farmer is no longer the West, but the South. As the Observer points out, ‘the lands il Iowa and Illinois and every western •tate which were once given away, aad which naturally attracted many Southern people are now selling at such high prices that no homeseeker caa buy unless he has a great deal of moaey. Every day farmers in these elates are selling out their high-priced lands and buying cheaper lands and coming to Texas and Oklahoma. If ftlMy knew of the great advantages in .North Carolina, many of them would I come here. It is the purpose of the (Homeseekers* Convention to make !them familiar with what North Caro- ilna offers and tell them of Its great progress in recent years and to open wide the doors of welcome.” THAT W0N0K0U8 TARIFF BOARD In almost every one of his multitud inous sueeches flred forth on his “swing around the circle” President Taft has fouad it necessary to defend his record. His vetoes of meritorious bills have worried him no little aad time and again he has attempted to offer as excuse the fact that he was waiting on the tariff board, for un discovered evidence. In fact, the tariff board is his main crutch and he leans upon it with a trust and fondne^ touching to gaze upon. But, if we may judge by the remarks of the chairman of the board, the board and its work resemble somewhat a huge joke Chairman Emery was speaking before the American Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers the other night and had thla to say: “There are certain things that are very difficult to get, and one thing, that according to the platform of the republican party—and incidentally that does not mean anything to me, except that I have been given the job according to that platform— is to try to get the cost of production. I thank you all, gentlemen, that you did not l^ugh. (Laughter.) I frank ly say right here that this idea of settlinf things on costa alone is all nonsense. You must not think I am joking about this thing, but there is a joke about it, and the Joke is this: I have no powers whatsoever. The tariff board has no powers. There Is really no such a thing as a tariff board. The law says that for certain purposes the president may employ such persons as he sees dt. I am one of such persons. That is all.” ( Laugh ter and applause.) This board, be it remembered, is the bulwark upon which the president’s hq>es of effecting “tariff reform” rests. The thing looks more like a joke each day. The schoolma’am is the guiding star of the republic. She takes the little bantling fresh from the home nest, full of his pouts, hit pets and his passions, ungovern able in many cases, a rampant, riotous little wretch whose fond mother often admits she sends him to school pur posely to get rid of him. The schoolma’am takes a whole carload of these little anarchists, half of whom singly and alone cannot be handled by their own mothers, and she puts them In the way of becoming useful citizens.—Cherryville Eagle. And for the service to society she is paid almost as well as the cook or the butler.

It is said that I eounterfe||ers feel more at home In Raleigh than in any other town of the. ioountfjfii UNIIIERSITy DAY CELEBRATED LAST NLCHT Last night at the Southern Manufac turers’ Club the University of North Carolina alumni held their annual ban quet of that organization? as*the other chapters of the same body held ban quets in every city or town of any size in the state and in many of the large cities all over the country. The occasion of the celebration was University Day, the 12th of October. This day Is celebrated the world over, wherever there are alumni of the Uni versity. The president of the local associa tion, Mr. W. F. Harding, presided, and made the first toast, “The Spirit of the Young Alumni,” to which Mr. «C. W. Tillett, jr., responded, making a plea for younger alumni and the more mod ern and up-to-date methods of advanc ing the work of the University. After the speech by air. Tillett, Mr. Harding introduced to the assembly, or rather, in his own words, “reintro duced Prof. M. C. S. Noble, the Meck- llnburg alumni of the University.” Pro- lessor Noble took for his subject the making of men and showed, by exam ples, the work that is being done at the state Institution, the building of char acter and the turning otu of the finish ed product of manhood from the raw, gawky boys that come to the Universi ty from the rural districts of the state, as well as from the largest and most populous cities. He pointed out the various sides of the University work, laying special emphasis on the relig ious side of the life there. He pointed out that the Y. M. C. A. at the Univers ity hae been spoken of as the most effective branch of the service in any Southern college. That body of students Is supporting five Sunday schools, and one church in the vicinity of Chapel HIU, and paying one-third of the expenses of a missionary in China, who is pushing tlie Y. M. C. A. work there. He also stated that 72 per cent of the studentB^were communicants of some church. Mr. Noble pointed out the excellent work being done by the literary gocle- ties in the teaching of men to think on their feet and to put their thoughts in the clearest language. He spoke of his work ag the head of the depart ment of pedagogy and showed that if th« University could furnish all the ma)e teachers to the high schools of the state It would have captured the* most strategic point in the fight lor a greater University. >Mr. Geo. Stephens spoke on the or ganization of the alupani and Mr. Brent S. Drane, on "flinching the Organiza tion.” New officers elected were: President, John A. Parker. Vice-President, Brei^t S. WDrane. Secretary and Treasurer. Chas. W. Tillett, Jr. An elegant course luncheon was serv ed by Mr. H. A. Webber, the popular caterer of the club.

As showing the almost limitless possibilities of the motion picture in presenting the work of members of the highest school of dramatic art, it has been annotnced that the “Di vine Sarah,” Bernhardt, is to be immortalized in the moving picture filmn and that she has already acted before the camera in “Camille” and other productions which she has made famous. So that those who come after us, and who In future annals of the stage shall read of the great actors and actresses of this age, will be able to see them on the canvass as they appeared In life. It is more than likely that other expo nents of the higher art will follow Bernhardt’s example, and the best stagep roductions of our time will be perpetuated. As recently stated in these columns, the motion picture industry, for so it might be termed, has made rapid strides in the last few years, and from a cheap form of»amusement it has become a school of instruction. The average theatregoer' will readily admit that hearing the words of a dramatic production is not the most important part thereof; his interest is chiefly centered in the acting and he could readily follow thep lot if he heard nothing. Most of us would give much to see moving picture pro ductions today of - such artists as Booth, Barrett and Mansfield, and in departing from her once announce- ed intention of appearing before the kinetoscopic lens Sarah Bernhardt has left posterity a rich legacy. In the ordinary course of human events the Divine Sarah has not many more years on earth, but her work will live after her. “With Bernhardt playing for the moving picture films,” says The Cin cinnati News, “other stage people, however high their degree can no longer feel that there is anything de grading of humiliating in this method of seeking and securing audiences. The Immediate effect should, and doubtless will be to raise the stand ard of cinematographic productions. As audiences become accustomed to seeing on the screens portrayals of well known plays by players of ac knowledged ability they will have less interest In the cheap and tawdry.”— Asheville Citizen.

Its aldermen and various and sundry committee and commissions have long been wrestling with an ordinance regarding the paving to be done by the street car people. The board fixed the thing; then unfixed It; fixed it again and now it has back pedal ed and is just where it started two months ago. A legislative enactment required the company to pave within and thirty inches on each side of its tracks. An effort was. made to re duce this to 14 inches. In fact it was done, but was changed. Then after wrangling for a month an ordinance was passed requiring 30 inches to be paved and the franchise tax was reduced from $4,000.,'to $l>00b a year for ten years, but-tibe mayor refused to sign it; there was more wrangling and now the board, is just where it started.—Greensboro,; *Re6or4. - - - '( t - The fellow who becomes f«mous over pight alway* wak^s up tlie next morning. ^ ^ -j "Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years.
