This change has come about through one, but many causes. In the first place Whitseil, R.

It is a favorite idea of one O': our most talented contempora- :-v Dhikisophers that few people nake effective use of more than very small percentage of their . nvtr ro acquire and to achieve. Roosevelt’s supreme talent fiimply been the gift of will ’jo.ver enough to cultivate and de velop such talents and opportuni- lies as had been vouchsafed him. This is the real lesson that his ca- i-eer thus far ought to _‘6ach the average young American. He ',vas placky and did his best, be ginning with the thing closest at hand. The young man who would iike to be a useful citizen can find pienty of opportunity in his own rieighborhood. If he would also iiKe to be more of a scholar, he can read and study and fight against the habit of w'asting spai'e moments. Mr. Roosevelt reads many books on new sub jects, in order to widen his Knowledge, every year of his life. He does what he can in odd mo ments fo get more knowledge of loreigfi languages, both for read- :rig and speaking. He plans de- iit->eniteiy.“From “The Progress 0! the World,” in the American Review of Reviev/s for May. The Robin’s Lament. ■j'-.i-.i Stitte .JotirnaJ. The cherry tree wears a dis consolate look. A robin visited yesterday, gazed about for a moment shook its head and fiew away. We fear this is a bad sigTi. Perhaps it saw Jack Frost ^^Mp] ints on the blossoms and ■vein off with sorrow in its heart. It had counted on that tree. It nad been there before.

God was raising those cherries for the ro- andif Mr. Frost came and them all, it is only because ■'iiores of good things are provid- ta fc;,se\vhere. God takes care '■■i the robins all right. But what the cherry pie? Oh, there S)e cherries enough for that, 'vHt'ted hither on a South wind, niied with the fragrant air of the ■lOpics. Frost isn’t everywhere. Of does he kill everything, is the raspberry.

Lin coln and Grant and Harrison and McKinley, and in fact every Re publican President were found fault with during a portion of their terms, but this eventually gave w'ay to merited applause which came when the. people found out the truth. The peo ple are now finding out the truth about President Taft. They are learning in the first place in spite of Democratic misrepresentation that the tariff law is most success ful. No honest man, be he De mocrat or Republican, can say that the result of the operation of that law has not been most beneficial in every way, both fr«..m a revenue standpoint and from that of employment and wages, and it is very evident that Mr. Taft knew what he was talk ing about wlien he said that— “It is the best tariff law we have ever had.” But this is by no means the only credit that can be accorded to the present administration. In every department of the government good business mana gement has been practiced^, to such an extent that expenditures have been cut down in every di rection and millions of dollars saved to the government. This has not been done with a great flourish of trumpets, but in a quiet business-like way, and is only being found out as public statements are made in the usual jourse of events. At the end of the fiscal year all these results will be very apparent in the nual statements, and then people will to this administration credit for a degree of economy that has nof been seen for many years. With all fair-minded men President Taft has been one of the most popular Presidents we ever had and this popularity is going to extend to many of thbse who have seen fit to criticise him.. As regards the legislation yet to be enacted during the present session of Congress, it will de pend upon the course taken by some of the so-called insurgents. Undoubtedly they have the power ^o delay or prevent the so called administration program, and it is to be seen whether they will exercise this power, or will work and vote with the regular party majority in adopting as many of the President’s measures as pos sible. As the return of Col. Roosevelt comes nearer and nearer, there has, of course, been much specu lation as to what his attitude would be toward the administra tion. No one of his friends has doubt as to where he would be found, and yet because he has not seen fit to make any definite statement an impression has gone forth largely fathered by the Democrats, that he would not be found with his old party associa tes. It is now known, however, from private letters just what his stand will be. He will support the administration in every par ticular. He will announce that he will not be a candidate for President in 1912, that he will not be a candidate for Senator or Congressman from New York, or any other position whatever. He will, of course, take an active part in New York State politics, and will undoubtedly be glad to see his former Secetary and the present Collector at the port of New York, Mr. Loeb, made can didate for governor. This pro gram would undoubtedly reunite all factions in New York State, and lead to victory next Novem ber not only in the election ot the State officers, but in the re turn of the present delegation to Congi-ess. ^ . In Ohio, which is conceded to Lowering Prices. Milwa.ukee Bentmel. ; Like the swing of the pendii lum and the ebb and flow of im ocean tpes, recur the period the rise and fall of prices. '^4 periods of high prices and periods of low prices have reaps^i^rf ctively their distinctive advaiii;®?: ges and drawbacks. Spmejid#: the cpmplaint of the losers' is al ways louder than tne satisfacti'iui of the gainers. High prices or: low, the discontent is always •sg- cal. : At periods of low prices is the complaint of dull tiixi&f from the producers and earners, when high prices riii^^y the angry voice of the consu:.iier; is heard in tiie land. In 1879 in 1897 1 ow prices ruled, there was a chorus of complaittt|; in 1890-93 prices were up agai id^;^ and again they complained, for the past year or so there iiaS been a' terrible outcry against tfeti high prices as if they were evil per se and with no compen sating or correlative gain to aii:?- body. But the farmer is thriy^’ ing like the green bay tree, ;a44 we hear no comlpaint that tiif price is high from the fellow 'wto does tl^e selling. But the gene ral rise and fall of prices is rlsyj thmis and automatic, one per|c|d!, following the other with t53s;| certainty, if the teaching of liisi tory is to be relied upon.

The University annual, the4 Yackety-Yack, has arrived and is ready for distribution Its a splen did representation of college life aiid in every way worthy of the University and the,, state whose seal it bears. The book is dedi cated to the late J. W./Gore, C, E., former head of the depart ment of physics, and a professor much loted in North Carolina. One of the featured articles is a short history of the University by Dr. Kemp P. Battle, expresi dent of the University. The en tire contents are of a high class. The drawings charactures, poems sketches, drags and humor get- offs are breezy with interest. Every department of the Univer sity and every .activity of the student life has its place. The Yackety-Yack of 1909 was ajudged by a critic of college an nuals to be one of the best three in America. The J. P. Bell Co., of Lynch burg, publishers of many of the leading college annuals consider ed the 1909 Yackety-Yack to be the best book ever issued from their press. The 1910 book is considered ever superior to the 1900 boQk and will perhaps be the first choice in the All-Ameri can group of college annuals. B. Joseph Nixon, a member of the Senior class, has won the $50, given by The North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames for the "best essay on a subject rela ting to the colonial historj?^* of North Carolina, His subject was “The Early German V Settlers of Lincoln county, ” S.'

C,, Ma.y 9.—The Democratic row jn Wake has at tracted state-wide attention not simply because it is one bf many county rows in which Dembferacy is now involved, but largely be cause of the fact that proriiihent State officials claim Wake county as their home and becatise the News and Observer, the Deroo- cratie Bible and Josephus Dan^ iels, the editor ,and |)emocratic National CoiKimitteeman, are in volved. . Heretofore Editor Daniels bias not had the actual control of Wake County Machine, though he has helped to make it what it is today.,, J. N; Holdingy Bart Gatling and Armistead Jones have controiled the actual run ning of the machine, and while Editor Daniels ; iplayed the right tune on his tom :toms, lie was al lowed “a voice in party councils.” Now the machine refuses to run g,ccording to his liking, and it is said that part the trouble lies in the fact that Frank Daniels, of Goldsboro^ is a ^ndidate for Judge of the Sixth Judicial Dis- frict, that the machine! refuses to support Frank Daniels, who is a brother of Josephus, prefering to support ,Jv C. Clif ford, of Harnett; county,. An open letter appears in: . The State Democrat, demanding the with drawal of Frank Daniels for the sake of harmony in the party. Last Monday was a busy day for the leaders of the: :t tions. Negotatibns for a com promise or settlement were kept up way into the night; but noth ing could be a;greed upon. How ever, it is bdieVed that Daniels, Bailey & Co. are showing signs of weakness, for aftet the sensa tional demand to !'Sihash the Machine; the Machinie is cotton,; the party is all rig:ht” the News and Observer has change^i horses in the middle of the stream and now cries “Dpn’t smash the ma chine. Get another engineer. Snia^'h the rin^ that bbsses Wake county.” Itis' apx^irent to all that Daniels, Bailey and Compa ny, while demanding that the ' ‘Ring’ ’ be smashed are busy try ing to make a little ringlet for themselves. An Anti-Ring mass meeting has been called for May . 14th, and will meet in Metropolitan Hall (over the city market and police station) where police protection can be had. It is said that only those to whom passes will be is sued can gain admittance. It is said on the street that the mar chine Demo'crats have already forinulated a plan to take charge of this meeting: that part of the plan is to turn ili three fire alarms, thereby calling off the police and leaving the meeting open to all the Democracy. Report has itthat Paniels, Bai ley and Company have already framed up a tentative slate to be put through at the meeting on the 14th, as follow^':^ Senator— R. H. Battle, Presitet ^ifff the Good Government Association and a prohibitaonist. Represen tatives, R. W. Winston, v^ho is ^id to be entering politics to be come a candidate for Congress in place of Ed w. W. Pou two years from now, Walter Clark J r,, City Attorney and Eli T. Scarboro, Postmaster at Eagte Rock, Wake county, about whom there was such a stir in the last Legislature when he held his seat as Repre sentative while at the same time he was Postmaster at Eagle Rock, this being in violation of the Con stitution which prohibits the hold ing of two offices. J. W. Bailey was counsel for Scarboro before the Legislative Committee. Sher iff—J. P. Stell, Chi^iof Police of the City of Raleigh. Clerk the Court—Alexander Stronach- Po lice Justice of the City of Raleigh. Among the sensational charges brought ar a*i:,st the machine is the one that they paid the rail road fare frorh Wake Forest ^nd return and from Apex and re turn for a large bunch of rooters to break up ttee meeting on April 80th. It is said that twenty or more were bought for seventy cents each'-’the price of a return ticket from Apex to Raleigh. In this family row, in which the ' ‘morally stunted” are pgor- ously resisting the dbse of “puri ty” offered them by Daniels, Bai- Rurai Deiiyery 2uid Stw Routes to V be Consolidated. It is ^liQunced^from Washing ton that the rural delivery ser-^ vice a.nd the star route service df the J^ostoffice department are tp be consolidated and the combined service is to be taken as the di vision of rural mails. The chaneie will t^e effect July L For some years past the two seryiceF have provided practical ly the same kind of mail facili ties, but the.management of eaejti has teen distinct. The star route service had beei^ conducted by the divisicm of contracts under the second assistant postmaster: general and the rural delivery sc^vice by a division in the bu reau of the fourth assistant post master general. i The new division will have ini- media^ supervision over annual appropriations I aggregating close to $J0,000,000. Tt is claimed th^t the coiisolidiation will prevent conflicting management, avoid duplication of postal facilities aiid result in material economies. ’ The change is the result of a recent investi^tion which show ed that the rural delivery system was costing about $28,000,000 more than the revenues derived from it. Plans were set on fo^t immediaterly to reoj^ganize thjs service and place it on a more business-like basis. It is believ ed thiat the change will have the effect of cutting down the ex penses, of operations by several millions of dollars without any loss of efficiecy. Tide Philadelphia; li^refig. As indicating the swing of the pendulum of prosperity, the rise and fall in the immigration fig ures is to a certain extent a measure of ^existing conditions that is not without value. tienij:e it is interesting to note that the tide of immigmnts coming to this countiry in tb^ fiscal,year end June; w bids fair to exceed oi^e million people. This limit has been reached but in three years during the existence of )!0jr gov* erninent, those years; hav1b«^S^ 1905,1906 arid 1907. The panic of the last named year reduced the figures in 1908 to 782,000and in 1909 to 751, 786. _ That the in coming tide promises so well shows a degree of confidence in forei^ lands in our institutions and industrial development that is most satisfactory and s© far igis can be told, is fully justified by the outlook, Of the 136,745im- migrante admitt^ in March of this y^r Italy furnished mbre than any other nation, as she al so did iii 1909^ although during that year Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire jfollowpd closely in her footsteps. The net irhmigration ieannot be known until the return emitotion to Eurojpe has been checked off and deducted. By the exercise of a strict, but kindly, oversight, no imbeciles, or those phsicaily or morally un fit, or who are likely to Income public charges, are adinitted, and only those vi^ho are likely to be come useful citizens are allowed to land. This wise restriction prevents our land from becoming the dumping ground of the off scourings of European communi ties and guards against th& dang ers that would arise in case un restricted and unguarded immi gration were allowed or encour aged.
