EXPLAINS ITSELF. My dear Mr. Carroll; I thank you most heartily on, be half of the University for your kind messag-e of October 11th. It is most encouraging to -us all to know that we liave the active support of the Alumni and that we are ^to have it steadily throughout the y«ar ahead. The aplendid loyalty of tiie Alumni, the enthusi»Eitic co-operation of our great body of stndents, and the undivided aympathy of the State at large give u* unbounded faith in the futare of the University and of the State itsei?. With this united support we mean to make here a truly great University, capable of tlie highest and completest service required by a truly great Democratic slate. • With renewed ,thanks, I am, Faithful yours, EDWARD K. GRAHAM. October 14, 1915. Hon. W, H, Carroll and Hon. S. S. W. Dameron. wrote a nice letter to tJic President of .the University of North Carolina a copy of which ap peared in the Dispatch last week and the above letter is in answer to the same. Messrs. Carroll and Oam- eron, as well as the other students, who belong to the A'.umni are held in lligh esteem, not only by their friends, but by all those who know that they belong to the Alumni because the Uni versity of North Carolina never sends a man out in the world to battle for himself unless he is well equipped for the bat,tte. Our citizens regard less of political belief, are proad of Messrs. Carroll and Dameron, as wb!! as the other members of the Alumni who reside within oar city. We wish we had more of them and trust more of them will come to reside with us ana amongst us in the near future.— Editor. th« in th« cdiwn^f^AftiiMi are most cordially invit^ to attend thia meeting and particiga^ :tfi ita deliber ations. An object of the meeting is to dis cuss the political sitiutfion in the State generally and to form a taqrfi perfect union of the various political elements‘ that are Anti-Democratic The Committee most earnestly seeks the aid and advice of every one who will labor for a return of the nation to ,the principles of protection that haVe so greatly blessed our people in the past and is their be^ hop$ for the fitture. With National victory practic;^y assured we wish to put this State in to the progressive column and i-eturn to efEeient and economical goverr.- nient. Without reference to how you voted in the last election, wc desire your presence ami jthe benefit of your counsel and ask you to join xis in a common cause against a common enemy. Come and bring your friends with you. Respectively, FRANK A, LINNEY, Ch’m. ^ ^ura Jean Libb7 romaace.

His bride did not care for lunt-h and remained bn the car. While the Happy John was feeding bimself on pork chops and antlcipajting a happy honeymoon trip the train pulled out «-ith his bride and began speeding away towards Korfolk, When he did emerge from the eating place theie wa.* no train in sight.

He hastily got into communication with railroad officials and the tra n with the deserted bride ^¥as stopped at Tarboro to show up on a later train. WILL CONGRESS VOTE \AVV PROGRA.M? Federal Treasury is Already Depicted and People Are Paying War Tax— Congress May go Slow. .This ia tiia 'language of William Hamtih Gbil^, tb« leader of the Bull IfooM party In Kings county, Kew York, the etnunty which contains tiie' city of Brooklyn. indicated tfcitt' the glamor Which Demoeratie ActttoM. are trjring to tKrc^'upoa Adnin- istrstion’s foreign policy, is not dazz ling enough to blind obiservant pac^e to the obvious failure of the Admin^ istration’ domestic ^licy, a iMlicy which breeds disaster and jyhich can- n*l cloak its evit effect behind “war orders.” The conditional: action of the Ad ministration and of the next Congress upon which Mr, Childs predicates the necessity for Bull Moose enlistment “under any banner” may be taken for granted. Neither the Administration nor Congress can “place our country upon the proper economic basis for general prosperity” without a confes sion of error and failure which would prevent them from making any af fective, appeal for' support at the polls, “The proper econom^ic basis for general prosperity' is the Repub lican basis of adequate tariffs for THE protection and for revenue. The country de.sires, no doubt, to be put upon this basis; and it desires to bs put there by Republican hands. It is 'the Republican banner under which (Sir. Childs and his associates will unite next year. Every time a steel mill starts up to make munitions of war, the little administration papers over the coun try come out with a doubl-leaded scream that “Business is Better.’ The fact that factories in other lines of trade are doing nothing and that there are millions of men out of work does not enter the columns of these defenders of Oscar Underwood’s tariff bill. Farts are facts. Prior to the elec tion of Woodrow Wilson, Oscar Un derwood made a speech in which he cried aloud against the tax the “poor working man” had to pay on every thing from his door mat to his kit chen utensils. At that time, however, had a door mat and kitchen uten sils and had money to biiy them. To day if he has a door mat it is probably worn out and if he lives in a city, he is probably in the soup line. (Oscar Underwood told how the high cost of living would be reduced. We would like to have some administr.i- tion sheet enumerate the articles of food stuffs and wearing apparel which are cheaper toda^ than they were two or three years ago. Also include those which are higher than ever. 1 Instead of paying a tariff on door mats and calico dre&.ses and having money to buy them with, we are pay ing a cent evei'y time we talk to a neighbor over the long distance cr send a telegram. We are putting war tax stamps on milk cans and mort gages and our cities are overrun with unemployed. This country does not want even a partial prosperity which hjBf of the country decries as barbarous, We want a peaceful, dignified prosperity and we cannot have it with the Oscar Underwood brand of free trade,— WVandot Union Republican. Washington, Oct. 19.—Secretarj of the Navy Daniels made public today the naval building program which will be submitted to Congress in Decem ber. It already has received .the ap proval of President Wilson. To get Congress to vote for this large expen diture of the people’s money is an- (>ther question. With the treasury al ready depleted and the people pay ing a war tax, there is little prob ability that ithe coming C«>ngress wiil impose ithis great burden upoii the American people without going into 'the facts in more detail than Mr. Daniels will be able to fur,^ish.

A barber in a downtown shop, hav ing been out late Friday night, found his hand rather shaky -yrhen he start ed to work yesterday. He started to operate on his first customer and be fore long was congrataiating himself V>n his success—he only ciit the un- .appy man four times. Each time he sponged away the blood and said,, Sorry, sir, Just a little scratch.” The victim made no comment, al- hough after the third wound was inflicted he might have ix«n observed to move uneasily in the chnir and mutter to himself when the barber moved away for new weapons or hot towels. Finally the ordeat was over. The customer made straight for the water cooler in the corner, took a mouthful of water, and with his lips closed, began to roll the water around in his mouth. “What’s the matter?” mquired the barber. “Did you get some soap :n your mouth?” “No, my friend,” he replied, swal lowing the water, "No, I was curious to see if it would still hold water.” POWEft OF THE PRESS. A North Wales minister recently paid a great tribute to the pres*. The little tom in which his chapel stands had been visited within a short space of time Wy several catastrophes, all of 'wfaich, 'i^th harrowing details, had been duly exploited in the papers. The minister was moved to make the misfortunes of his townsmen a subject of prayer. He knelt in the presence of his congrocration and be gan fervently: “O Lord, doubtless thou hast learn ed through the papers of our recent '■ and grave afflictions.”—Tit-Bits. r RECrOS APPEALS TO WOMEN TO WED “BROKEN HEROES," The Rev. Ernest Houghton, a Bri.s- tol rector has started an appeal io patriotic women of the nations to give their lives to Ameliorate the condi tion of maimed heroes of the war by marrying them. He has launched a “I.Jague for the marrying of Broken Hflroes.” The rector contends that the ex ample of France shows that unions thus ai-ranged promise a greater per centage of happiness than is custom ary from the methods in England, be- “The .American ambassador,” aiv noftced the imperial chamberlain, perturbably, “refuses to wear knse breeches at court.” “Ask him if he ha.? any objection to wearing ordinary pants with bi cycle clips r.t the ankles,” commanded 'he o'espot, who. while clinging to im memorial usage, was not indisposed to concede something to the virie democracy of west.—Puck, WHATS GOING ON?
