Bound Sense From Dr. Illfo. .
(Raleigh Times.)
It will be one lucky day tor the
cause 01 education when the
world of colleges and schools con
tains more men patterned after
the heart and head of Dr. Kilgo,
the very accomplished and very
practical president of Trinity.
When, not so very many days
prior to' the close of the recent
prohibition campaign, the busy
president got down to Raleigh
one Sunday to put in his word
for the cold water cause, he treat
ed the congregation fortunate en
ough to bear him to an address
that broke radically away from
the dry, colorless, hackneyed
phrases with which everybody is
familiar, and with whose princi
ples everybody agrees, and put
the old subject in such new and
entertaining phraseology that
the question straightway took
on a new interest lor every cme
within sound of his voice, It was
an original way of telling the old
story that was then being told
all over the State in a colorless
and unoriginal way. Ever since
then we have been waiting to
hear what the doctor would say
when it came time for him to
band out sage observations to
bis graduating class. Sunday he
talked to his class and, as every
body who has heard Dr. Kilgo
much is by this time ready to a
gree, he took singularly interest
ing hold of another subject that
is frequently rendered dry and
tedious by men who cannot put
new ideas or, language into it.
Here, for instance, is what the
head of Trinity has to say about
specialization, the present day
tendency of schools as well as of
individuals: ' " '
"The result of college making
specialists of their men is to put
them in a world of their . own and
peaking a language that others
cannot understand. It has (all
en to the lot of great colleges to
find special studies and spheres
of learning to intimidate the un
learned until, it is not. unlikely,
there may be yet created a de
partment of learning having for
study the left wing of a mosqui
to I Don't understand me to op
pose specialization. A man must
have his work and belong to
some vocation. But I am very
far from saying that he must
know nothing else. He who stands
aloof, keeps himself isolated,
takes that solidarity from mod
ern society and civilization, is
quivering and trembling with
a looseness that is lull of prophe
cies of disaster."
About the best thing, though,
it seems to us, in all this emphat
ically practical as well as inter
esting talk, is the sound, plain
navor 01 democracy running
through it. The young man or
woman who. after four years,
goes out in the forking world
with the pompous and overbear
ing attitude toward his fellow-
men that is coming to be more
and more the tendency of so-called
educated men toward those
supplied with less book learning,
has failed to absorb one of the
vital principles of education at
the Durham institution. No pu
pil of Dr. Kilgo who takes his ad
vice, will ever be in danger of be
coming a book snob, next to the
Diue-oiooa snoo, tne most con
temptible member of the whole
snob family of which the annals
of snobberv hold any record. He
will not for a moment find it im
possible to get out of his shell
long enough to speak civilly,
not companionably, to the man
or woman that spent less time on
the finishing touches of t h e
school-room. And he will not
beat his creditors to keep up ap
pearances, a trick to which, to
be truthful, more educated than
uneducated people seem to bead
dieted. The doctor says, and ev
ery young fellow going out of
Harvard and Yale and Prince
ton and the other really big uni
versities this month ought to cut
out the following paragraph and
paste it up in his hat for future
reference:
"Don't go out in lile trying to
keep up with the rich. The most
ol you are poor. I know you.
The worst feature of artiflcial
ism is that it appears most fre
quently among those of us who
can't afford it. The woman who
debates long whether she would
wear a veil of mourning for her
dead husband rather than wheth
er she should mourn, is an .ex
ample. Many of our young girls
discuss the proper age at which
thny make their debut instead of
deciding whether they have sense
enough to come at all. Don't
keep up appearances if you munt
lose your credit at the grocer's.
And steer clear of the woman
who won't protect yon there or
you'll have a divorce suit pretty
soon.",
So long as 'such sentiments as
these permeate the faculty and
student body of Trinity, the
good Methodist college up at
Durham will continue to send out
useful, practicaland approacha
ble citizens rather than the mis
erable apology for a human be
ing whose main object in life is
to work as few hours as possible
for as many dollars as possible,
with the supreme ambition to
spend all his leisure time throw
ing his nose up and his chest out
as he sneers and slurs about peo
pie that start life with less book
preparation than has been his
portion.
Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural .fluids .known
as the digestive juices, and it is
through these juices that the food
we eat is acted upon in such a way
as to produce the rich, red blood
that flows through the veins of our
body and thereby makes us strong,
healthy and robust and it is the
weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. It is our own
fault if we destroy our own' health,
and yet it is so easy tor any one to
put the stomach out of order. When
you need to take something take
it promptly, but take something you
know is reliable something like
Kodol For Dyspepsia and Indiges-
tion. Kodol is pleasant to take,

Says the Hickory Times-Mer
cury: Five months ago, Mr Joe
Cline took off a brood of chick
ens. They all died save one. Very
soon the hen began to lay in a
nest near where she roosted with
this chick. Mrs. Cline set her.
This one chick set with her all
the time and when she hatched
this chick took to the little ones
just as a mother hen would. She
is not half grown, and it is a cu

Death of Grayer Cleveland
Charlotte Observer, 25th.
The public will not be surpris
ed by the annuncement of the
death ol Mr. Grover Cleveland.
he event had long been antici
pated and was deferred longer
than many of his friends had ex-
pected. It is regrettable that in
the order of nature such men can
not live forever but in that order
this great man had reached the
period when his death was logic
al and repining on account ol it
were vain and foolish: Cicero's
De Senecute says something like
this that the death of an old
man is a natural event while that
of a young roan is as if a besom
of destruction had swept over
the 1 and. Mr. Cleveland had
reached the age when death fol-
ows naturally. In the maturity
of bis powers, his intellectual
iorce unabated, he lays down the
burden of life and goes to join
the majority.
Circumstances forbid that trib
ute which the event suggests and
a tribute of words would, after
all, be supererogation. The work
of this man will linger in his coun
try's history. , His record is a
most extraordinary one. Few
presidents have passed through
such a period of storm and stress,
and whatever else one may think
of him none will deny that he
met the various crises in his ca
reer with superb courage, with a
nerve that never faltered n c r
failed. Deserted by his party, left
friendless among pitiless enemies,
he followed with serenity the hard
path of duty, and left, unhonnr-
ed and unattended, at the end of
his second term, the capitol to
which ne had been welcomed' but
a lew years oeiore oy tne giaa
acclaim of shouting thousands.
Thank God that be lived to see
his vindication! However they
may deny it all men know in
their hearts that Cleveland was
right all the time and that tho'
he sacrificed himself his unexam
pled nerve saved his country in
his second term from what was
perhaps the greatest disaster
that ever threatened it. The un
grateful people, most of all the
recreant South, must stand at
his open grave to-day with con
flicting emotions.
lo this nothing need be added
except in November, 1896, liar-

James Russell Lowell delivered a
magnitieent oration, concluding
with this reference to the Presi

honor to us all, and to all I may
say a personal gratification. We

sons of Harvard all belong to
the party which admires courage,
strength of purpose and fidelity
to duty. He has left the
helm of state to be with us here,
and so long as It is entrusted to

the storm come, he will say with

The spirit of prophecy was up

Oregon Polltioal Utopia.
Portland, Oregon Dispatch to
Baltimore Sun.
Oregon is fast getting a corner
on the Utopia of politics. The mil
lennium of the ballot may not be
here, but it has reserved a berth
and paid for it. Hereafter, if the
law is enforced, it will cost a man
anywhere from f 5 to f 100 to
ask another man on election day
to vote for any candidate or any
measure just to ask him, not to
pay him or coerce him.
In their State election the oth
er day the people put their sanc
tion on such a measure, and they
did a lot ol other things that
muke one think the old days of
the politician are passing. Here
after it will be "political crimnal
libel", punishable by a peniten
tiary sentence, to lie in print a-
bout a candidate for office.
Candidates are forbidden to
treat, to bet on elections, direct
ly or indirectly, to promise any
political appointments; to em
ploy workers, except challengers,
ou election day; to pay voters for
time lost in going to the polls or
to give any voter a badge or
button to wear on election day.
The Corrupt Practices act, which
the people have approved, fur
ther says:
"No person shall pay the own
er, editor, publisher or agent of
any newspaper or other periodi
cal to induce him editorially to
advocate or oppose any candi
date for. nominations or election,
and no such owner, editor, pub
lisher or agent shall accept such
payment."
In the case of political crimi
nal libdl, which is now crime ere
ated by law, both the man who
writes or offers the libelous mat
ter and the man who knowingly
connfves at its publication may
be Bent to the State prison. He
has a defense if he can show that
he had good ground for believ
ing the libelous charge or state
ment was true, but even as a vi
tal part of that defense he must
prove that 15 days befor the
publication of the article he sub
mitted the charges to the candi
date in question and that he did
not receive any denial of dr an
swer to them within 10 days al
ter their submission.
In the matter of electioneering
the law is sweeping. It says in
part: "It shall be unlawful for
any person at any place on the
day of any election to ask, solic
it or in any manner try to in
duce or persuade any voter on
such election dav to vote lor or
refrain from voting for any can
didate, or the candidate or tick
et of any polical party or organ
ization; or any measure submit
ted to the people."
For the man who chooses to
obev the law it will not be an ex
pensive matter to run for office
in this State hereafter. A candi
date for Governor, for instance,
will not be permitted to spend
more than 15 per cent, 01 one
year's gubernatorial salary, or
f 750, in a primary campaign,
and the maximum of hisexpendi
tures for a general campaign is
limited to f 500. Moreover, with
in 15 days alter the primary or
election he must file a detailed re
port showing juBt bow and where
the money was spent.
Whatever the men may think,
the woman suffragists are not
agreed that the millennium has
arrived. They tried for the fourth
time to get the men to allow
them to vote, but were defeated
more decisively this time than
ever before, the vote being about
25,000 against giving them the
franchise This result is consid
ered a blow to the movement in
the whole Northwest. .
