The fourteen years of service of Dr. Francis P. Venable as president of the University' of North Carolina have been years in which that great Institu tion has gone forward, and his resi gnation of his position finds the. University occupying advanced ground than which It held wbe In 1900 be took charge. Education has grown apace in these fourteen yedps and President Venable has been a force for uplift In North Carolina In its educational advance. A man of high ability, of trace of character, his services to the Uul verslty, and through it to the State, have been such as to give htm de sevely high place. One of the lore most chemists In this country, he took high rank in-that field before I being elected president of the Uni versity, and his record as the head of that great institution of learning Is one which merits high tributes. He has Berved faithfully tind well, the result of his work being seen in the greater University of North Car olina as we have It today. The State has been rarely fortunate in the men who is this great educational era have been at the head of the State University, and it now has the good fortune to have a man right at hand to succeed Pryldent Venable, that man the acting president. Edward K. Graham. It Is fortune for the State for the alumni, for the University that it has the opportunity to call hhn Into service, for Edward K. Graham is the man who should be eleeted prefRent to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Venable. The people of The State will give full approval to the action ot the trustee If they elect Edward K. Gra ham as the president of the Univer sity. In the past year, in the absence of Dr. Venable he has, as acting pres ident, ?proved his fitness for the poatttoa. Equipped In mind and In scholarship, be adds to those a per sonality which will prove an In nplritloa to the advancement ot the UalvcraHy. He Is a valuable man, active, coergetic, with broad vision, and that capacity of leadership which is needed to press forward the inter esu of the University. He Is a wor ker who knows how to Inspire the deslrS for service In others, and with bim at Its head the University, will be draVn closer Jo the people, the people closer to the University. Edward K. Oraham may well be .chosen to follow Edwin A. Alderman M)d Francis P. Venable ss president ot the University of North Carolina. A young man of enthusiasm aad of high Ideals he has demonstrated Us worth as a member ot .the faculty of the State university and as acting presideat.We are convinced that bla selection sa president would mean that the standard of the University of North Carolina would be carried forward sod planted on high grounds, that It would become more and more an Institution of service of the Stats. Tttw-will be no mistake made if Bdvrard K. Graham U eleeted presi dent ot the University of North Car olina. He Is a North ' Carolinian whom North Carolina can well bono*.

We think ot North Carolina as the healthiest state In the Union but It is more unhea&hy than any state in I the Union, according to the vital stat istics of those states that have vital I statistics. It ooght to be the health ' lest. We have a salubious climate of seashore and hills & mountains, pure' water and Invigorating atmosphere. But in North Carolina twenty thou sand die every year from dis eases that could be prevented or post poned, to say nothing of the sorrow and the suffering. This should not be. I We allow pestilence to stalk abroad in our state to wound and weaken and to kill. There are twenty thousand vic tims condemned to death that we ' could save. We allow maleiarla an>l typhoid fever and tuberculosis an<l other diseases that could be prevented j to weaken our people and to sap the manhood and womanhood of our race. This should not be. The hospitals for the Insane, and for the blind and deaf and dumb, are filled with victims that could have been rescued from a. life of desolation, and darkness by proper \ health conditions. The Isthmus of Panama 1b now a healthier place than North Carolina. The preventable dis eases which we allow to exist have been largely banished from the Isth mns. I want to see the time come when every home In North Carolina will be protected by health laws and health regulations. When every home will have screens to keep the flies out, and a bath tub In which to wash the men and children,?the women keep clean under all circumstances. Clean liness and health and happiness' go hand in hand. * Eighty per cent of the people of North Carolina live In the country, and have not the conveniences and the protection of the people in the towns. It you would build up North Carolina, and make her realise the destiny which is hers by right, you must re member the two million of farmers In this state?the men that p^y the taxes, fight the battles and vote the Demo cratic ticket . It resolved itself at last Into a question of the preservation and the defe?j^>f the home. Our reasonJIF being here, to-day is primarily to protect our homes. This is the highest reason-that calls u? here. I want to see the time com? when every child In North Carolina will have as good an opportunity as any other child In the world . I want to see him have an opportunity to at tain to his highest posslblltles In phys ical and Intellectual and moral strength. I want to see rural districts lifted up. I want to see a nobler and a higher way of living. The obliga tions is upon the Democratic perty, the dominant party of the state. This Is the party of all the people, and lis laws should take Into consideration -the welfare and protection of all the people.?'Prom sp'eech of Governor Craig. Flre-Eseape For U*. State laws are constantly being amended so as to Increase the use of lire-escapes where necessary, and these escapes are not serving their purpose If the exit is blocked by trunk*, tioxes, or other things. In many cities vre marshalls have a habit ?f en-tern g, unannounced, ,tS*M baldtagsoa which lire escapes are required, & making Inspections befire giving warning. Fire Mar shal Wead of Houston, Texas, has adopted -ibis method, and found that many persons had become careless. N'oth Carolina offlceers In some In stances ' are doing the same thing, th^tt pavilion being that fire-escapes are worth los h unless they can be used at any time. AI way?

Mr. Frank P, Tucker, 8tate Secre tary of (he Association Advance Pre mium Cooperation Fire Insurance Companies of New York State, fires out a statement that, to say the least, is Interesting. He says fully 90 per cent of 'all Insurance covering farm property in New York State Is carried In cooperative companies, and that thece. has been a general increase duflng the past few years In the loss ratio, and that this has been the ex perience of stock companies on the same class of risks. Mr. Tucker says: "From the expe rience of adjusters, it has been gener ally conceded that practically all losses except those caused by light ning have been due to carelessness.' After giving a list of fires and their causes, he says: "It Is not in the least unreasonable to charge 75 per cent of the 'unknown' causes in dwellings to 'defective flues,' for at least this percentage of such losses are alwafs found to have started In the attic or near the chimney. It would also doubtless be pertert by far to charge 50 per cent of barn losses from' 'unknown* causes to Incendiary and smoking, dividing the honors(')." Cares Stubborn, Itchy Skin Troubles. "I could scratch myself to pieces" is often heard from suffers Of Ecze ma, Tetter Itch and similar Skin Er uptions. Don't Scratch?Stop the Itching at once.
