AX Only the other day, Emperor W Ham of Germany, in a public address, lauded the sobriety of students American .. colleges and universities while condemning the beer-drinking proclivities of those in his domain He informed the German youths that it was needful for them to Imitate their Saxon kinsmen eoross the seas they hoped to gain for Germany th proud position to which she aspires in the commercial and industrial world . Now comes R. T. Crane, a million aire Iron manufacturer, with a scath - ing arraignment of several of the largest universities in this country alleging wholesale gaming and drunk enness among the student bodies. H has Investigated the matter exten sively, he says, and has concluded that colleges do more harm than good because of dissolute habits boys at tending them form. Mr. Crane say In part: .' An outsider can scarcely realize the amount of drinking that goes on In the club rooms of the colleges. Referring particularly to, Harvard. estimate the number of students who cemblne in a mild degree wme and bad women 65 per cent; who drink heavily, 55 per cent, and who have two or three 'bats' a year 45 per cent. The rest of Mr. Crane's report is a Story of drinking, Immorality, brawl ing and reckless money-spending, and as was ot be expected its correctness has been promptly challenged by col lege men. All of which is deplorable enough but lest Mr. Crane should think the world will not war; on since his start , ling "And," let him listen to the fol- ; lowing quaint sentences from old An thony Wood relative to conditions at Oxford university some hundreds of years before Mr. Crane was born: uBut among these- (students) company of varlets, who pretended to be scholars, shuffled themselves in and did act much villainy in the uni versity by thieving, (immorality), quarreling, etc. They lived under no discipline, neither had they tutors; but only for fashion sake would some times thrust themselves into the schools at ordinary lectures, and when they' went to perform any mischief then would they be accounted schol ars, that they so might free them selves from the jurisdiction of the burghers." A competent historian estimate the proportion of these "varlets" to the bon. Ada students as three to one. : It does seem, however, that colle- ClalS and municipal regular -ns m. : t be adequate in this t wen tir'ti cen tu: to improve some of' the condition of which "Mr. Crane cemplalns. v THE CHILD'S WELFARE WORK.

PRESS COMMENT. liftoe in THE BEST MOUNTAIN ASSET AN ITS CHIEF NEEDS. The people of Western North Caro Una have been seeking for years an years to develop manufacturing estab lishments and some of them believe that the prosperity of their section depends upon such industries. Some of them are growing wise enough now to understand that with good roads, which are certainly to follow in the wake of the Appalachian forest re serve, the wealth of the mountains is not to be sought in building cotton mills, woolen mills, tobacco and other factories, though, of course such enterprises should not he neg lected in order to build large towns, but that the wealth of the mountal section of North Carolina is in its climate and scenery and it only lacks three things'1 to be richer than any other part of the country. These three things are: 1. To double at once their modern and well-equipped, hotels. 2. To quit trying to raise products for the outside "market ana to turn the land into growing vegetables to supply the hotels that will be filled with visitors when there are enough hotels of modern type to accommo date the thousands who will come. 3. To build good roads, so that the people who go to the mountains for its climate and scenery can use their automobiles to travel from place to place. The day Is not far distant when thousands of New Englanders and people from the middle states and Europe will send their automobiles to Winston-Salem and Salisbury .and other points in the Piedmont section or .North Carolina and spend the whole summer in western North Car ouna, going irom one hotel to an other, and when tens of thousands uf people from the south will do likewise and will also build summer cottages lotting the mountains from Hickory to faint Rock and from Saluda to Pilot Mountain. We have been proud to call west ern North Carolina "the Swiuerland of America," and we have a right to make that claim. In many particu lars it is grander arid more beautiful though, or course, the presence of beautiful lakes of Switserland add much to Its scenery. Soon North Carotins will have these lakes, in fact n nam them now In Toxaway and oilier sections. wnen there are abundant lakes, Switserland will have nothing that gives It advantage over western North Carolina. , The In dianapolis News says that the amount of money Invested in hotels In Swits erland is 10,000,000. The tourists who visit Switserland ar taxed with the costs of these hotels and the good roads and their maintenance. The presence of good, hotels draw DeoDle. Of course, without the hotels, hardy travelers would go to Switzerland to see the scenery jusf as they go to mi. Mitcneii, in North Carolina, but tney are few In number and can make no country rich. People who travel and spend lots of money are folks who want the comforts and luxuries and ars willing to pay for them. The day is past when the rich nd well-to-do people will so to anv place for health or recreation nnless they can get all modern comforta There are not many hotels in west em North Carolina where the rooms are equipped with baths, and there are fewer still where the rich people can get tne sort of food they are ac customed to and for which they are willing to- pay. Too many hotels In western North Carolina feed their guests on corn, peas, beans, aspara- us and other vegetables too often taken rrom cans Instead of giving elr guest the best fresh vege tables from their own or nearby truck gardens. ' ' ' J The mountain people are moving this matter. The new SH0.000 ho tel at Henderaonvllle has hen hum Asheville will soon give notice of the completion of a modern fire-proof ho tel snd the erection of others In the 'n city of the mountains augers tor the future of that city. What i - - 1 to do now Is to Interest ei where, snd every time I f:- n t:emelvi c n COTTON BRINGS BACK THE GOLD FROM EUROPE. Cotton is the most valuable of all "money crops," and the yield of 1910 far exceeded in value that of any pre vious year. Secretary Henry G. Hes ter, of the New Orleans exchange, es timates that the lint and seed pro iluced last year brought $1, 030.000.- (00. The 1908-09 yield was 1,700.000 bales more, but, owing to the lower 1-rices, brought $254,000,000 less: and the 13,511.000-bale crop of 1906-07 brought $22,000,000 less. So It seem that a "bumper" crop not only bring? less per pound, but less in the aggre gate than the smaller yields, Not manufactures but raw staple maintain our "balance of trade" with Europe. If it were not for cotton. wheat, corn, oil and copper we would find ourselves at the end of each year owing Europe a vast sum. The tariff does not "protect" these products. which give us the "balance of trade" that the protectionists are so fond of pointing to as a vindication of the maintenance of an abnormally high tariff on manufactured products. We have to send hundreds of mil lions to Europe to pay Interest charges on When Yea Yawn a Good Deal In the day time, and feel dull, lazy and discouraged, you have every jsymptom of a torpid liver. , Simmons Red Z Liver Regulator (The Powder Form) is a fine tonic for a disordered liver.
