' , It doesn't make any difference whether we were for him or against him before: we are all for him now, for we must not forget that we are si) ' North Carolinians. We have taken our chances in a council of our pears and whether we are gainers or losers we must abide the result If the victors of last evening had lost ' In this beautiful game, they would nave been called on to stand the con- sequences; the losers must not be less loyal than they would have expected tha others to have been. This means that all of us should en. list under (he banner of Mr. Kltchtn. To do this I only to follow the path , of duty which, while sometimes hard, is always plain. To none is this so difficult as it Is to The Observer. From July of last yeaf up to two weeks ago, from'everytujnp, In every congres sional district except one, he has at tacked,' by innuendo, the Integrity of . . thla paper, when all the time having perfect confidence In tha honor of its editor, whom he has known years vpoh years.- ' A ; It,, therefore, this paper can sup port Mr. Kitchin anybody else can, and it asks Its friends. If it have any, to stand by him until the stars go down In November. If The Observer Is not so enthusiastic for him as some . Others it begs now of its fellow party men to remember what he has said of it snd to refer any lack of eesl of which it may be guilty, not to a spirit of treachery, but to the human In flrmlty which cannot forgive an impu tation upon character In a minute. s Gentlemen, of Ts'orth Carolina, we : present to you odr nominee for Gov ernor, the Hon.-William W.

Riddle, a leading English phy sician., that blah temperature -is beneficial rather than . harmful to human life. "Coming: at a lm when New York City, though sweltering ua der " a' heat' wave, shows the lowest general death rate it ha yet record ed, thi "expression of medical opin ion possesses sot a little interest, no- yond question mnj iron- and well- founded argument can be alleged in support The New York Sun, which, anion Ita other attainments, is a pretty rood doctor, agrees with Dr. Riddle and brocseds to ; argue ac cordingly. , "There Is no foundation. it 'starts out by declaring, "for . the current opinion that the heart - and the lunrs bear .most of the stress of hot weather. The assumption seems I to be based on a supposed analogy i... . Af,r v. u. ; , " " " which Utter notoriously pant, when overheated. : There Is no such anal- ogy. for the reason that human be- Ings rely chiefly on their perspiratory system to regulate the control of the temperature of the ody. while Ihe . . M.i,,. aianiie dog, not having perspiratory gianas comparable to ours, has to make greater use of his lungs in prevent- ing his body temperature from be ing too much Influenced by outside conditions. The truth is, as experi ments in India have shown, that the ordinary European's death rata is not Increased but actually reduced about one-fifth during his first attempts to accommodate himself to tha heat of that country. The same experiments have shown that the heart's action also is not augmented even in tropi cal temperatures. ' The liver and spleen are the chief sufferers, but even the congestion which may be caused in these organs by high tem peratures may be left out of account by those persons who sre careful sbout whst they eat and drink.' Upon the opinion that the warm season offers greatest possibilities of low mortality and immunity from dis ease we believe there will be fairly general agreement among all who hare ever given the subject any Intel ligent consldsrattnn. That these pos sibilities ars left comparatively unreal ised, however, admits of even less doubt to our mind. Broadly speak' ing, we tske the difference to be that Immunity from the diseases more prevalent In cold seasons depends mainly upon ths Individual's cars of himself, while Immunity from the dis ease more prevalent In hot seasons depends upon the community's care for him. Warm westher Is predomi nantly the period of community dis eases, with typhoid fever and malaria In the lead. We have special reference here, of course, to town and city life. All germ diseases are absolutely pre ventable by doing away with the germs producing them and hence are vital matters of community Concern, but the readily practicable seope of activity, along these, lines 1T- much wider In' regard to diseases line tnose just mentioned. While th average Amerlcsn or European city, along with ,,th larger governmr ntal units Including it must iustly bear the blame for most of the there originating It would be blama- ble for any whatever but that this grestest of all health problems Is pe culiarly world-wide -the blame for every original case of typhoid fever snd nsrly every original cuse of ma laria lies directly at the governmental door. Proper attention to sanitary mstters, prlnclpslly in the way of su pervlslon over the water and milk supplies snd war upon flies and mos quitoes, mill msk almost any com munlty show a record of less disease nd lei's mortality In summer than in winter. It Is truly wonderful to observe how Infant and child mor tsllty In the statistics-keeping cities during summer months has visibly risen snd fallen in great waves ac cording ax efficient Inspection of the milk supply was nr was not. vigilantly enforced. The time msy yet come when a msn whom a rlty has negli gently polnoned with typhoid fever infection will. 4 deed rr alive, recover damages no 1s than the man who hss crscked his skull through a city's failure to maintain reasonably safe streets. City dwellers can do a great deal for themselves' In summer by such rstlnnsl conduct as making their diet llghfaril " comparatively free frtm grease, but they are de pendent upon those In authority over them far more than at any other frme. In almost every community where health measures sre properly enforc ed we believe that the conclusions of Dr. Riddle snd The Sun will be found to hold true. If hot weather were of itself and unavoidably inimical to humanity, strenuous political conventions could not take place when they do without slaying tens and prostrating hun dreds or even thousands.

A M. College two or three weeks ago. From every Quarter of North Carolina , have ' come expressions of hearty approval and endorsement, - In some cases from the -moat unexpected I sources, and from the time that the I card appeared until now hardly a day has passed that some thoughtful man, hterMMd , tha Industrial develop, ment of the Bute,' has not stopped me to aay that I said Just what he has felt In his own heart ;: : And while, as I have Just said, this been ona of tie most atrtklng 11- lustrations of striking unexpectedly the v.vtl,- nf ,, ,h,,,h i no lee, turprUlng than graUfylng. what does It mean T It means that public opinion in -North Carolina is. ready, waiting and keenly longing for a great and powerfuf school of indus trial education that will send a thrill of new life Into every branch of in dustrial endeavor in our Common wealth. Let the board of trustees go for ward, and the anxious and alert public sentiment of our people 1U applaud them most vigorously, In the selection of a new president st this time the college may almost be said to be facing a crisis, to have come to the parting of the ways as to whethor ita industrial trend shall be Intensified, or whether it shall go the wery and Ineffectual way that many such Institutions have gone as second rate llierary Institutions. I believe the time has come and if I mistake not the people of North Carolina to-day believe that the time has come for putting at the head of this great institution or Industrial science, a msn who Is the living, vital embodiment of the scientific or the industrial Idea. When we go to select a president for a theological school, who is chosen T No one is thought of but a preacher, When a president Is needed for a medical college, who is considered? No one but a doctor. If we wish a head for a law school. who Is chosen No ona except some man versed in law. And so in selecting a head for an In stltutlon of industrial education the need Is for a man who represents and typifies the Industrial Idea, And we ought to have a man of this character, whatever the cost. As have already pointed out Industrial education la a matter of such recent growth and development that It is ab solutely out of the question for us to get strong men as leaders here as cheaply as men Of the . tame ability can be had in Classics.) nd literary lines. Nor will w ever make much progress until we' realise the compdtl tlon we must face, and begin to offer greater Inducements for strong men as leaders. The 8outh has ' suffered peculiarly lere. One r Napoleon 'tis worth ten thousand ordinary generals. If we could get a man wo would do for industrial education at the A eV M. V.w"1" .wn."f c"r i flia is nniiiinsr a ni nAntiiBPiaifia?

Win ston's resignation hss not been suffi cient for a thorough survey of the field, I believe that the industrial in terests of the State welcome the sug gestion for a postponement of the whole matter until next January. At present there Is too much con fusion for a wise decision! Represent ing the literary side of education the names of one or two men have been suggested whoe splendid personal character, high literary attainments and charming personal qualities, would tempt me into enthusiastic approval. did I not remember 4ny larger duty In urging the all over-shsdowlng impor tant of intensifying and accentuating at all hasards the industrial and not the literary phase of the college. And representing the mechanical side of the college, a vigorous effort is being mde In behalf of Mr. D.. A. Tompkins, the famous Charlotte manufacturer. And there are other men representing this division of the college . whose names might be mentioned. And rep resenting the sgrlcultural interest) of the State, the name of Dr. Talt Butler has been fittingly suggested, a man who it at once one of the most pro gressive sot one of the safest men of all my acquaintance, a-. 'man of. fine executive ability and of prodigious' energy: one of the half-dosen hardest working and most efficient men of my srqualntance, and a msn whose sterl ing character would compel the esteem of students and faculty; his word ts as good as hU bend.
