Clemenceau does not , speak the English as fluently as some people but it Is evident enough already that he is to have no difficulty in making himself understood. But the trouble is that in any bloc formed by Senator LaFollette ' there will certainly be at least two blocs one consisting of the others, the other consisting of Senator La Follette. ,Mr. Gemenceau at least sees that it is still possible to lose the greater part of what was wan by the war; in ' which he is able to see further than good many men in public life who re hardly half as old. 'T sm growing younger every day. In 60 years I think I'll be a baby," says the Tiger. Why wouldn't that be as efficacious as Dr. Cone's ."Day by day, in every way, I am growing better and better"?

That settles it Woman te a vertical oblong. f The needs of the North Carolina college, pressing and numerous, have as their foremost that of an auditorium, President Foust tells the alumnae. It is impossible at present for the entire student body to assemble (except out of doers) and the occasions are numerous when an identical message should be received by all the members of a collegiate community; every one should have tha opportunity, more over, to receive the cultural ad vantages of great musical events that would be attracted by so Urge a number, if there were any place large enough. CLEMENCEAU'S PURPOSE. Every political group in France has its own pet theory of the mo tive underlying the visit of Georges Clemenceau to this country. Some of them hold that the visit is in the nature of campaign against the Poincare government Others main tain that it is an expedition against England. Socialist and radical groups darkly suspect that behind it is the desire on the part of the Tiger to accumulate such prestige in this country as will enable him to crush radicalism in France when he returns. Yet Clemenceau himself is quite specific as to the object of his visit In his house "bordering upon the sea" he says he has "heard the bad names." It was reported to him that in America they were calling France militarist and imperialist; and it is to protect the good name of his country that he has made the long voyage. Furthermore, that ex planation is quite in character, Clemenceau's whole political career has been devoted to the protection of France. The field on which the bat tle was foupht, and the enemy whom he opposed have always been mat ters of indifference to him. He has fought for France In the chamber of deputies and on the hustings; he has fought for ; France in the columns of bis newspaper; he has fought for France on the duelling ground; he has fought for France in two peace conferences; -why should he draw the line at carrying the war into America? Moreover, he has not confined his resistance to ene mies from without Twice, it is true, he has opposed the German invader; but as .often he has op posed France's enemies among her own people. In the Dreyfus case he stood with Emile Zola almost alone against all the powers that be against the caste system, against race prejudice, against the almost all-powerful military clique, and whipped them IL In the Lens mine riots he a politician by nature and by training opposed misguided labor leaders and crushed their re volt by force; yet at the moment when the situation was red-hot, he went personally into the tone where he had declared martial law, al though his friends told him that his life there at that time would not be worth a penny's purchase, and by his courage and his persuasive com mon sense averted a bloodier strug gle than had taken place. During the war, he opposed the clever and enormously powerful Caillaux and his traitorous following; he sent Bolo Pasha before a firing squad, and drove Caillaux himself into exile. At the moment when Verdun was shaking under the impact of the most furious assault ever made in all the history of warfare, Clem enceau walked through the front line trenches until the French troops themselves drove him back; but the news of his presence there spread all down the line and slid as much to inspirit the defenders as anything else; while Clemenceau's eye-wit ness account of what was happening in that,, awful place nerved the French nation to continue the strug gle to the bitter end. Clemenceau has the energy and the courage to try anything for France. If he has decided that his appearance in this country will help his nation's cause, he would have come though hell hsd barred the way. Furthermore, we suspect that his appearance will help. He has wit and he has courage a combina tion that Americans simply cannot withstand. He will be listened to, and his bearers will be prejudiced in his favor. He cannot convert this country to any scheme of mili tary conquest; but he may be able to put on certain activities of the French republic an aspect that dif fers entirely from that put upon them by British commentators. At any rate, France is entitled to a hearing, and Clemenceau can secure ht for her. But the thing thst America is in terested in at this moment is the man himself. He may be wrong in many of his ideas; but he is bold, he is honest, he is of an extraordinary gaiety of spirit This country wel comes him with delight, and unless he is rigidly careful it will over whelm him with its too-zealous hos pitality. , - ALCOHOL ANDGASOLINE. The police are continually raking in people who insist on driving au tomobiles while drunk, and the police judge insists that ha means to put them away permanently as fast as they come to him. Yet the ac cidents continue to happen. The lesson has not yet been taught ef fectively. Probably it will take a long and vigorous campaign on the part of police and court before driv ers of bibulous tendencies admit to themselves that being caught at the wheel drunk is a calamity that they cannot afford to risk. The latest incident of this sort is peculiarly outrageous. A couple of visitors to the city, farmers coming into town to trade with Greensboro merchants, had one of their horses killed and narrowly escaped death themselves when they were struck by a car over control of which two young bucks were struggling. A nearly empty quart jar of corn whisky In the car explained the whole thing to the police. - Since the occupants of the car have not been tried, the Daily News, of course, cannot My that they are guilty of driving a car while drunk. Indeed, we hope that they can prove their Innocence, for it would be a shocking reflection on the city of Greensboro if it were shown that visitors to the city are liable tt be butchered by drunken chauffeurs before they can get to the business district But with the damning evi dence of that fruit jar against them the boys will have quite a job to prove their innocence; and if they can't prove it well, mixing liquor and gasoline simply doesn't go in Greensboro any mora. The city is sick and tired of seeing the law flouted and the streets made dan gerous for all the rest of the people by a handful of rum hounds, and the thing is going to be stopped. There are not many drivers who are guilty of this practice, and it wiH be no impossible task for the police to round up the greater part of thorn and for the courts to put them to work improving the highways that they have been making dangerous. It is regrettable to see a man sent to the chaingang by his own folly; but if thero is no other medicine that will cure the drunken chauf feur that must be administered. CHECKING UP MAIL DELAYS. The Lexington Dispatch says that the Daily News is correct in theory with regard to mail frorj the Winston-Salem section, reaching Lexing ton via the Southern's main line, but that there is a failure to connect somewhere. The Dispatch thinks that the removal of the transfer clerk at Winston-Salem is responsi ble for failure of the mails to move promptly through Winston Salem. Frequently when trains are late of course all routes are upset and there is a delay in mails as well as passengers. But for the Dispatch's information, the Daily News is in position to state that the complaints referred to are being investigated by officials of the railway mail ser vice and it is presumed that steps will be taken to correct any errors that can be handled. And if people generally who' have complaints to make about the mall service in any particular, such as failure to receive their daily paper at the accustomed time, or any irregularities, would only give specific information, especially the date and the time of day, it will be a great help in locat ing troubles. The Daily News now and then gets complaints from subscribers, telling of the failure of theia paper to arrive when it should, and they don't give specific data upon which to work. But if they would say that the issue of such and such a date, "due on train No. failed to come today, but did come on train No. " at such a time on such a date, then the matter can be han dled immediately without a lot of correspondence to obtain these necessary data. Just remember thst when you make a complaint; take time enough to give the full facts at once, and the trouble may be located quickly and remedied if of an avoidable nature. Of course when trains miss that's another story for neither the Daily News nor the postal authorities operate the trains. JOHN T. You can't lose John T. Rees. Not that you, or anyone, would try to do so; but it couldn't be done. John T. has come back, his com ing back following promptly upon his going hence. He is out of the cigsr manufacturing business and into the cigar manufacturing busi ness in regulsr off-ag'in-on-ag'in-gone-ag'in-Finnegan style. He can do about anything, and more es pecially he can sell about anything; but latterly he has become a con firmed and habitual manufacturer of cigars. He, by general admission, knows how to buy cigar1 stock and blend it; and be could not forget how to sell his product if he tried. Every man, woman and child who knows John T. is confident that his new enterprise will presently be a topnotcher in popularity confident because John T. is John T. He is a live wire in business and always has been, but he finds time to devote to promotion of sports for the public and has found a lot of money for the same purpose, first and last tie always finds time and inclination to put a shoulder to the wheel of every public enterprise; end Open Hearted Generosity is the rest of his name. His friends in' elude a substantial portion of the whole population of the place, in. eluding Greensboro and - suburbs. aliens and Indians not taxed, an he is a Greensboro institution. Therefore, these apostrophic utter ances on the occasion of the estab lishment of a new concern by John T. "NEGRO" AND "JAPANESE." A correspondent asks, in effect, why the Daily News prints in body type the word "negro" thus and the . word "Japanese" thus, when neither word stands first in a sen tence. " - The word "negro" except at the beginning of a sentence begins with a small letter because the style (practice, rule, law) of the office Is lower case, and not capital in the language of the craft "down" style and "cap" style. The lower case style in typogra phy avoids the use of caniUl initial letters in all words except those where capitals are required by the laxest application of the rule as to common and proper substantives ana aenvaties thereof. Place names are all proper nouns, and racial or color-racial designations that are derived from place names are bv universal rule initialed with capitals. Few printing establishments have an absolutely consistent style as to capitalisation, and for that matter it ight be difficult to find to au. thorities on typography who would agree on all questions of shop style ; but in general a printing office practices "down" style, or "cap" style; and between the two there is wide divergence of usage. It is largely a matter of preference, and the advocate of either practice could argue all day for his pref erence. "Negro" is a race-color sub stantive thst derives, not from a lace noun but from the Latin color term nigtr. "Japanese" is a race color designation of the native in- habitants of Japan. The descend ants of natives of (ancient Ethiopia would be place-race designated as Ethiooians! natfwa ni rinwAnrlsnt of natives of the Sudan as Sudanese'; of any country inhabited by persons of black skin, regardless of place of origin, negroes. The black races are the only color group that have (in English) a de rivative color name. In this country negro is used as color designation in contradistinc tion (usually) to white which is a circumstance 'of significance if one chose to argue about the underlying principles of typographical customs -which we are not doing, merely stating facts as to the customs them selves. A general rule of lower case style if the question of capi talization is arguable, put it down. The question of capitalization in the word Japanese is not arguable. In almost any newspaper where the lower case style prevails there will be found occasional departures front this rule. But the fewer departures, the less argument confusion and loss of time in the office. Iowa's priestly sheriff admits that hanging men is a clumsy process, but he is cheerfully preparing to go through with it a second time. Ap parently he holds that it is better to kill 'em clumsily than not to kill 'em at all; which has the advantage of being a definite and clear-cut phil osophy, at least ? "I 60 years I think I'll be a baby," says Clemenceau, referring to the way he grows younger all the time. Well, some of us are con vinced that he's a hot one now. PUBLIC PULSE AS TO CAPITALIZATION. Editor of The Daily News: I have Just read your Interesting editorial "Races and Prejudices." You are educated and I know you can give the Information I am going to ask you for. I notice you used a small n when speaking of the negro and a capital J when speaking of Japanese. Please tell me why. J. H. BROADWAT. Salisbury. Caswell Training School to Ask for Over One Million (Special ts Dally Newt.) Kinston, Nor. 10. Well-laid plans hare been formulated for the pre sentation of the Caswell Training school's needs to the general assem bly in January. That Institution la asking for $1,290,000 In order that Its capacity may be enlarged and ac commodations provided for 1,000 mental defectlres. The present ca pacity is not half that number. With 1.000 housed at the school, there would still be thousands of feeble-minded Juveniles left uncared for by the state, according to the trustees, who Include a number ef prominent medical men and others. The official hoard of the Institution s understood to be unanimously back of the proposition. The school here has been declared a. model of Its kind by leading experts of the country, though In the north there are similar institutions with several times the capacity. Dr. C. Banks McNalry, the superintendent, is the president of the international organ isation of executives of such Institu tions. .A 1300,000 building program at the senool was completed last spring. This enabled the heads of the Insti tution to reduce a waiting list of hundreds thst had had dally scere tions for many months. It was a comparatively small reduction, how ever, and the waiting list now la ap palllngly large. New York Port Receipts Show City Is Leading U. S. Ports Washington, Nov. 10.

THE SAVING POWER OF N JESUS IS EMPHASIZED If Lor of Christ Is Given i Chance, It Will Not Fail, Says Re. R. Murphy Williams. "Therefor If any man be In Christ ha Is a new creation," was tha text taken from Paul's letter to the Corinthians, en which Rev. . R. Murphy 'Williams based his sermon yesterday morning at ths Church of tha Covenant. Mr. Williams read the story of the healing of the blind man as told by John and this story ha used to Illustrate the theroeJ found In his test, of the saving power of Jesus, v Mr, Williams' sermon consisted al most entirely of evidence of this saving power. Ha started by point ing out tha author of tha text, Paul, who one day was on tha high road to fame In the Jewish church, and tha next dy, after having been eon verted, was persecuted and reviled by the same church, yet wa hap pier than before. He was saved by grace through faith In Jeaus Chr.st, declared Mr. Williams. In tha ease of the blind man who could not argue, could not know by whoa authority be was healed, but wh said, "This I know, I waa blind and now t see," Is the experience ef num bers of converted, said tha paator. The experience of the healing power of Jesus Christ must Brat be felt Objectively through faith before It becomes a subjective experience and can be passed oa to others, fur ther said Mr. Williams, and Illustra tive of this he told the story of a bishop, who on being Questioned by a-doctor as te why such an educated man as a bishop should believe In the power of Jeaus to cure, replied that 15 years back b had been a wretched and depraved man, but by the grao of Jesus through faith he had been eared of his depravity and now he waa telling others ef this never falling remedy. Mr. Williams affirmed that In every soul where the love of Christ waa given a chance it had never failed. He told the story of the atheist who was challenged by a minister of God to bring forward 100 men who had been saved from a life of sin by atheistic teaching, which assembly the pastor said waa never collected. Finally, the speaker said that not In every case waa this wonderful power so apparent - to the whole world as In the ease of the blind man, or Paul, but nevertheless It works as great a miracle In the hearta of common men. . And It Is here, declared Mr. X llliama, that the real handiwork of the spirit of Jeaaa makes Itself known, not so much on the outward appearance of the converted except as a reflection of the soul. R. P. Richardson, of the Union Theological seminary, will preach next Sunday In the absence of the paator, who this week Is holding a aeries of services at St Paul, In Robeaon county. .
