The Times can add little to what It said yesterday with regard to the distressing affair at the University. ' From the facts developed at the .cor oner's inquest, it seems that four young men, none of whom intended any harm, brought sorrow on a par ent, caused unutterable grief to their own relatives and placed the institution in a false position be fore the world. To thousands of alumni of the University the trage dy was as a death in the family, and this feeling is shared more or less by all friends of the institution. That it will result in the ending of hazing we make no doubt. The memory of that awful night will act as a deterrent to boisterous spirits in future, not only at t'ha Univer sity, but at every college in the state as well, and hazing will be a thing to be dreaded as a plague. The les son Is a severe one. : For the parents of the young men who participated in the hazingithis paper hasiothlngtwt condolence; their grief must ie as acute as that of the father of the Hand boy. The sophomores intended no bodily in jury, but their suffering must be in tense none the less. The sorrow of the president of the University and the faculty, who have labored for sq many years In the cause of educa tion. Is profound, and we sympathize with them in their hour of grief. A full investigation will be made.H and the people of the state will be' informed of the affair. The students of the University, who do not ap prove of hazing in any form, will see to it that boisterous spirits are repressed in future. All forms of hazing, relics of barbarism, should cease, and we believe that the lesson taught Friday morning will be suffi cient for all time. NEED OF NEW OPERA HOUSE. ' Raleigh needs a new opera house very badly. She has needed one for some time because the old one has long been inadequate, if not so much as to capacity, certainly as to ac commodations, furnishings, fixtures and quality. It Is not in keeping, either inside or out, with the city's requirements, But, we are not go ing to have even this much of o theater after this season unless we get a new one, for the old one is being remodeled for other purposes. The work of remodeling has already been started and only the lease of the present holders, which does not expire until next year, has preserv- ed the playhouse to us for the pres ent season. The changes being made In the building are desirable and the demands of business call for the use ui tue nouse for other purposes, but tbat does not alter the fact that we need an opera house and must find some -way of supplying one to take me piace or the present one. It bould be a modern, np-to-date building, built for the purpose, ar chitecturally correct and with ade quate stage facilities. The modern, growing Raleigh requires a theatre ; of this class. We do not know bow we are go lag to get It but we are going to ir Jake Wells a little frse adver- Using.1 Wells Is the theatrical man of Norfolk and Richmond and' other places. He has made a wonderful success of, the business In the two places named and Is branching to other towns, building up a consid erable circuit. - Just now he is try ing to get into Charlotte, and we understand, has made the Charlotte people two propositions, one that they put $40,000 in a building and that he will put $60,000, thus giv ing them a house to be proud of; or if tbey will not do that that he will go there anyway and put up a building, but necessarily a cheaper one and put on his shows. Now it would be a good thing if we could get Wells to come to Raleigh. He would give us what we need in the show business, a good play house and a good class of shows. We have beard unofficially that he has made some inquiries about Raleigh and that he evidently has his eye on the town. We are assured that he is going to Charlotte and that being true he, more than likely would like to have two or three other places in the state to break the long jumps and Raleigh would fill one of these places to perfection. Wells is worth investigating and worth trying to interest. The chamber of commerce, or any business man of the city, might find it worth while to get in communication with him. SUPPORTING WILSON. The Providence Journal, one of tie rit,t inl'.ucilial papers in New England, has come out for Governor Wilson. The Journal is an indepen dent paper and has held off support ing any of the various candidates until recently, when in a column editorial, the paper states in part: "As an independent newspaper, bound to no party and desirous only of serving the public good, the Jour nal believes that the election . of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States is demanded by !vcry consideration of the national wel fare. To whom then, at such a junc ture can intelligent and patriotic men turn if not to Governor Wilson? How, as the Journal asked on the occasion of his Seech of acceptance, can such men fail to respond to so inspiring a call? The question is no longer one of mere partisanship. It is at bottom a question of morals Governor Wilson does not indulge in the cant of effecting to be greater than his party, but he does appeal to men outside of party to join with him in discovering and applying ii remedy for admitted evils. Ho la no blind reactionary, no wlld-ev'od rad ical. He does not believe like Mr. Taft, that a tariff guaranteeing prof its to special interests is the gnliien source of all our prosperity or, Ml:e Mr. Roosevelt, that Utopia is to be established by a domineering bu reaucracy with an Infallible head. 'We need no revolution, he says, 'we need no excited change; we nesil only a new point of view ami a new method of spirit of counsel.' The nation will be fortunate If Its next president deals with vital Issues in such a fashion. It will be fortunate if the lofty ideals of Woodrow Wil son inspire the new administration. The Journal is glad to give its ear nest support to such a man." The betting odds in favor of Gov ernor Wilson In Wall street have gone up another point. While there has been plenty of two to one money on Wilson, with no Taft or Roobb- velt money in sight the Wilson backers raised the odds to four to one and still the Taft and third term supporters are holding off. 980,000,000.00 Lost Annually lj Wage Earners. Dr. Sadler estimates that about $80,000,000.00 In wages Is lost an nually to the American people as a direct result of colds. Lost time means lost wages and doctoring is expensive. Use Foley's Honey and Tar Compound promptly. It will stop the cough, and beal and sooth the sore and Inflamed air passages. King-Crowell Drug Co. A recent circular letter addressed to heads of great corporations quotes the third term platform on corporations, and then asks for a $500 contribution. There would seem to be an Inference tbat the third term party would be useful to the corporations, otherwise why ask for the eontrtbutlon? ( BUY IT IN RALEIGH. Things Pertaining to Life By HARRY M. NORTH, Pastor of Edenton Street Methodist Church. By the kind invitation of the editor I write through this column to the readers of The Raleigh Times. When the toil of the week is over and Saturday afternoon has come, let me talk with you for a lit tle while on things that pertain to life. This is In truth a broad sub ject, but for this reason I have taken it that I might never be out or my chosen field whatever the topic of our conversation. Is there anything that does not pertain to life? The hopes and fears of men, tbeir loves and enmities, their common duties, the never-ending struggle for bread, the expectation of happiress in the end; these are the things with which our lives are concerned. The past with its memories, some of which you iwoum glaaiy rorgei, ana yei others so holy that you would cherish them forever; the present with its Immediate demands for service, and the vast unmeasured future with its possibilities of failure or success; all of these pertain to life. We may talk some times of the life of the body, how it should be built up and cared for that it may best fulfill its mission. Some times our.talk will be about the life of the mind, of what men think and to what purpose. Again in some still hour we will speak with each other reverently of that deeper, higher, eternal, spiritual life which makes its early claim upon every child born into the world, and which is the real life to which all these other things contribute. Looking from another standpoint, we will see the relation we bear to the other men and women of our own community. We must know how to live with reference to them, how to appreciate them, how to estimate and pay the debt that we owe them. Our home and industrial and politi cal relations may engage our atten tion, yet we shall come back fre quently to that religious life that binds men unto their Maker, and in consequence binds them with cords to their fellow man. RIZO The Evolution of the Conception of Public Health. The happy girl of sixteen, In her exuberant health, accepts her great est blessing as natural Inheritance, as natural as the sunshine, and gives it as little thought. Her attitude to health Is one of Indifference. Time passes and girlhood fades into motherhood; death knocks at her door; her baby answers the summons, blinded wun me nuiei tears of sorrow, she falls on Provi dence. Her attitude to health Is one of fatalism. Time moves on. and observation, sharpened with the friction of the years, discerns relationship between pre-existing and subsequent, aiseuse, between environment and disease, and slowly there is evolved a con sciousness of control over disease- producing factors. Health fatalism recedes as the light of the most powerful fact of the nineteenth cen tury the preventabillty of disease-centers her mind, the spirit of the dead baby calls her attention- to the terrible meaning of needless death, and a raw recruit enters the army of health workers. Her eagerness 10 do something will not permit of the development of mature plans. me desire to serve overbalances ability to serve; public health Is more a philosophy than science. Her attitude to health is one of unco-ordlnated enthusiasm, characterized by spas modic and sporadic efforts to .pre vent disease. Her attitude to health is one of enthusiasm. , Finally, with the novelty of the new idea worn off, with the sedative effect of the fatigue of sporadic and exaggerated effort, cold reason re sumes her throne, and puts the blunt question; Where are the fruits of your labor? Exactly what do you Beek? What evidence is there to Indicate the value or futility of your effort? The health enthusiast begins to think, to seek some fixed point from which progress may be meas ured, and vital statistics as an abso lute necessity in health work Is recognized. With that discovery, public health philosophy gives way to the science of public health, and exuberant en thusiasm to steady, rational effort. The attitude to health Is rational, scientific. . These four mental attitudes to health the Indifferent, the fatal istic, the enthusiastic and the ra tional, scientific are found in vary ing proportions as Ingredients of the public opinion . of different places, and so, In accordance with the dominant mental attitude, is the attitude of government to healtn work indifferent, fatalistic, enthusi astic or rational. The Indifferent and fatalistic types of mind are passing rapidly Into ex tinction. God speed them. The enthusiastic type of mind is So It is life everywhere under whatever phase we view It. Other things bear with them, but a passing interest If they do not pertain to life; nothing else can hold us long. One man will ask if life is worth the- living, while others will sacrifice everything else for life. Men spend all manner of effort to enhance Its enjoyment and jo make it long. Still, others would squander it with a wasteful hand, as if they did not know it to be their very all. Could you measure these lives you would find some of them narrow with all the contraction of hopelessness. Others would appear broad In their love and sympathy. Some you would find empty, some full, some small, some great. In either case it is their life, and it is their all, and we must handle them all with a holy touch. So any subject that I may choose cannot be very far from the great theme at the head of this column. 1 shall be glad If in these writings from week to week I may be able to bring something of hope or inspiration to any troubled, down cast man or woman. I wish that I might speak through this column to those who toil, and see nothing be yond their toil; to those who find in life only a struggle for meat and raiment. 1 should wish also to bring a message to those who see nothing serious in life. If any one should rise up from reading this column, saying "I will try. again;" If he should get thereby a new hold upon the truth ; If life seemed a nobler thing to him afterward, I should feel that my reward was full. . 1 am sure tha't if I visited your homes iu person you would receive me with the utmost kindness, pro vided 1 had an unselfish motive in going. Will you not give me as hearty a welcome when I visit you each Saturday afternoon through The Times? Do not read this column until the work Is done for the week. Then with your face toward the Sab bath read it thoughtfully, and if you find anything in it worth the while, accept it.

People or this type are visionary; they have schemes for cleaning up the town in less time than it takes to bathe a baby; they regard a board of alder men or commissioners as an abso lute and not as a representative pow er; they waste valuable energy in vain endeavor to scale the heights, rather than take the more circuitous path of popular education that will surely in the end bring them in sight of the promised land; they appraise a health officer by the amount of ap propriation that he is Instrumental in securing, by the number of speeches, he makes: and by the amount of literature he scatters, some by the wayside, some upon the stony ground, and some upon good soll.N.

Dupree, who died here this week, Dunn loses one of her most progressive citizens and a man whose influence in the affairs of the town will be greatly missed. He was about 50 years old, and has been a citizen of this town for the past twenty years. His death was very sudden and came as a shock to the whole town and community. The remains were Interred in Greenwood cemetery beside the body of his wife, who died several years ago. He is survived by his aged mother and two sisters; Mrs. J. H. Stephens and Miss Fannie Dupree, of Johnston county. Mr. Dupree was a large farmer and mill man. The contractor is making rapid progress on the new sidewalks which are being built on the main business streets of the town. The town is furnishing the curbstone and the property owners are paying for the labor and material. T. L.

Rann. WHY WHO'S WHO WERE you aware that John D. Rockefeller celebrated his 73d birthday recently in the full possession of his faculties and a bright, new, rebuilt appetite? It is reported that on the day in question Mr.. Kockereuer took off his horns and cloven hoofs and sat down to a meal that would make a section hand wince. Several years ago Mr. Rocke feller couldn't tell his appetite from any other part of his body. He would leave It ly ing around the house for days at a time and never miss it. His stomach was not on speaking terms with anything except corn meal mush, and he used to try to'' ex change with some of the hired men. He is naturally a genial, man, but when the conversation turned on corn on the cob or raspberries and cream or pineapple sherbet tie went into a reverie and moved, to adjourn. Recently, however, Mr. Rocke feller found his appetite just where The Greatest of Aii First Basemen With the Decline of Hal Cliawe, Jake Daubert Has Risen to a Coin maiiriing Position. (By Frank Chance.) .There is no better first baseman in the gamo right now than Jake Daubert. Ed Konetchy is very good. There is not so much to choose be tween tne m. Merkle is also good. Our man, Saier is a comer, but, of course, he is still too inexperienced to be ready to grab off chief honors. From what I can hear of Chase and his decline from form, I do not think there is any better man than Dau bert. (By Robert Bescher.) Doctor Hoblitzel is a great first baseman, one of the best in the busi ness. I know him well and kno.v what I am talking about. Next to Hoblitzel I should be glad to see Jake Daubert get a place, for he is a fine fellow and a wonderful all round player. His work at first base this year has been remarkable. (By John Evers.) Jake Daubert is the best first base man in the business. Our own man, Saier, is coming Btrong and will bear watching next season. I do not think nnybody at present is the equal to Frank Chance when he was in his prime though I will admit that Dau bert has played & consistently bril liant game which certainly gives him a high ranking at rs position. (By John McGraw.) Merkle in my opinion is the lead ing first baseman In the game. I tay this not because he Is a Giant, but because in my experience I h r e never seen a player on the initial sack who showed such good judg ment and all-around ability as Mer kle has been doing. There are other good men in the league and also In the American League as well, but I doubt if t.here are any who are the equal to Merkle. (ISy George Stovall.) You see I am a first baseman my self, bo I am not Interested in ibis discussion. Mclnnis Is a good first baseman; so Is Chase and Jake Stahl. The National League I do not know much about, but I hear fine) reports of Ed K.netchy and Jake Daubert. Duubert, in particular, seems to be playing a great game this year. As for me, I am too busy managing the St. Louis Brown to worry about such things. (Dy George Morlarity.) From what I can hear of reports U tqarlmehrof Agriculture WEATHER BUREAU .1 wiuis umoorzo-a .....Si l Forecast. For Raleigh and vicinity: be left it a few years ago. He recog nized it the moment he saw it. It had not changed much and he put it to work at once. It is said to be a better appetite than it was before' Standard Oil was. dissolved into thin air. This was the only form of dls-. solution on record in . which the corpse did not participate. Mr. Rockefeller was a poor boy, but he soon got over It and has al ways bad plenty of ready money. He is considered well-to-do, and' can borrow a reasonable sum at the bank without getting a signer. He IB able to keep several automobiles, as his gasoline doesn't cost him anything, and whenever he wants a clean shirt he can have it. i Mr. Rockefeller divides his time between playing golf and throwing large, eloquent drafts at people who are not afraid of tainted money. There are so few who are afraid that he has to use a fountain pen. Every once in a while some church which has been left out will rise up through its minister and denounce Mr,: Rockefeller and all his works, including the recent advance in lubricating oil, but up to date none of the -uplift magazines has been called upon to s return any of his checks in a haughty tone ' or voice. in the National League, Jake Dau bert is about the most valuable first baseman in that circuit. I rather doubt if there is a man in the American League this season who la his superior or perhaps even his equal. I think : Chase was beyond doubt his superior last season, though Chase has not been goln;; anywhere nearly so good this year. (By Edward Reulbach.) The palm for the greatest first baseman in 'my opinion lies between Ed Konetchy and Jake Daubert. Roth are great first basemen In every sense of the word and both are fine fellows as well. Personally, I do not think there is much to choose between them, but if there is, there might be a shade of difference In favor of the Brooklyn player. (By Edward Konetchy.) I have plaved first base all my life, and I believe I have made good. Nobody liked to play better than have. Jake Daubert Is a fine fellow and I am glad to see him get alieai. He has played a wonderful game this year, as fine a game as I ever saw. He would be a valuable man to H'iy .club. To Mothers And Others. . .
