PAC2 TWO GREENSBORO, N. C FOUNDER'S DAY The State NormalOb serves Anniversary, I OUNDER'S DAT was the very significant occasion at the i i state Normal college Monday JJ which enabled Greensboro people to enjoy two of the . most Interesting addresses delivered lu the city the past year these be ing the address in the forenoon by Dr. Edward K. Graham, president of the North Carolina State University In the nature of a memorial to the founder and first president of the in stitutlon Dr. Charles Duncan Mc- Iver; and the one in the evening, to dedicate the new woman's building, by Judge Walter Clark, Chief Justice of North Carolina. Both of these distinguished speakers were greeted by large and appreciative audiences who returned to their homes with a stronger grasp on educational pro blems and a renewed confidence in the future manhood and woman hood of the grand old state, which has reached her present intellectual Btatus by the unswerving faith of men and women who, like the in domitable Mclver, had a vision not like Jacob's ith angels on the dream ladder stretching heavenward, but a vision of real men and women alive and conscious of their power thinking, working, accomplishing the higher and better things of lit things for which they bad been fitted by nature but hampered by environ ment. To help these, who only lack ed opportunity to help themselves, was the mission of those who saw in the higher education of her men ana women the only road to greatness of an otherwise great state. And as the observant, thinking world has long since agreed, the only way to educate a nation is to educate the mothers. A pointed out by Judge Clark, an educated man does not always appre ciate the necessity nor is he always willing to make sacrifices to educate ' his son. But the educated mother will deny herself anything will go any length, to give her children this equality in the business and social world, where nothing counts for so much, and where the lack of it puts one at such a disadvantage in com petition with knowledge and effici ency. Dr. Graham's address was a plea for practical ideals, for personal re sponsibility and for service to our fellowman. A man or a woman could, he declared, "live a little life In a little time or a big life in a big time" the present period of the present century being the biggest time in the world's history. He quoted a Tale professor as having said that the happy man was the one who "thought the most interest ing thoughts." The speaker s den nition of a happy man was "one who lived the most interested thoughts." Life was worth living, he said, "with men and women worth living with and working for." That the youthful view is general ly the correct view the true and safest guide in our estimate of peo ple and things was clearly brought out, faith in ourselves and in our Xind lieing the foundation of all in dividual and national achievement. Re recalled that J. Pierpont Morgan king of financiers, had given as the basis of all credit "faith in men." If we could always retain the visions and Ideals of youth there would be no such thing as old ape was the , opinion of this social philosopher, who recognized in the perpetual springs of good will to men the only real and unfailing Fountain of Touth. Dr. Graham surprised some of the gentlemen of the Old School by de claring that the people of North Carolina were not democratic. He said there could be no genuine dem ocracy until the women of the state shared equally all rights and priv ileges political as well as educa tionalnow enjoyed by the men. He is an ardent advocate for equal suf frage and presented the question in a way that appeared unanswerable. In using the word "progressive," he said that he did so With some hesi tation, remembering the many con structions put upon the term by the several political factions carrying that banner. He summed up the true meaning of "progressive," how ever, in a verse from the Scriptures: "Now we are the sons of God and lit doth not yet appear what we shall toe!" The speaker gave the name 'of Charles Duncan Mclver as that of the most valuable man who had lived in North Carolina during the past fifty years, putting him in a class with Jane Addams, Ciara Barton and other great souls who have rendered distinguished service to their coun try in the conservation of moral and Intellectual forces forces that move the world and which live on after those who put them in motion have passed from the stage of action. He Impressed upon the young women students of the great institution founded by this great North Carolin ianto remember that the road to the end of the world was the road passing their own doors Opportun ity invited, Duty called: Judge Walter Clark. The address of Judge Walter Clark at the evening session, while having a somewhat different setting, bore the same message woman's rightful place in the world, personal responsibility and the woman of the future. In dedicating the new building on the college campus to the women of the Confederacy, the distinguished jurist paid a beautiful and merited mothers who meant as much to North' Carolina during those dark days of trial and adversity as the young wo men who are being sent forth from our splendid educational Institutions of today to become leaders In that peaceful army no longer followers of a forlorn hope. The speaker, in reviewing the past especially as re gards the legal status of women now as compared with forty and even three years ago in North Carolina, pointed out many encouraging signs of Twentieth century progress and predicted the perfect political equal ity of men and women in the not far distant future. Referring to the fact that forty years ago in this state a husband had a legal right to beat his wife with a stick no larger than his thumb, he expressed sympathy for the Chief Justice in this year of grace who would have the temerity to hand down such a decision. Until three years ago a drunken, trifling, disolute husband had a right to de mand and have turned over to him any money earned by his wife In any way whatsoever; to have damages for injuries sustained by her paid to him, and in short had absolute con trol of the family exchequer. The statute correcting this shameless abuse of women was drafted by Judge Clark and passed by the leg' islature, thus removing one blot from the pages of our statute books still greatly in need of revision. In his estimate of men and wo men, their relative ability and ser- vice to the world. Judge Clark in slsted that woman was the agency that had transformed man from savage and a barbarian Into a Chris tian and a gentleman. He wanted to see them given broader fields an better opportunities for proving their ability in every line of useful endeav or. The program closed with the pre sentation of a fine portrait of ex Governor Charles B. Aycock by Miss Mary Tennant on behalf of the class of 1913. The gift was accepted by President Foust, representing the faculty and board of directors, in the absence of State Superintendent Joyner, who could not be present. Greetings were sent by alumnae from all parts of the ttate, which were read by President Foust. General Carr A Friend. In introducing General Julian S Carr, who in turn introduced Judge Clark, President Foust explained that It was to General Carr and his good work while a member of tba North Carolina legislature several years ago that the building which they were there to dedicate was made possible, since it was through him that the appropriation was secured and his Suggestion that it be dedlcat ed to the women of the Confederacy He could truthfully refer to him an their "good friend" a friend who had rendered a great service the out come of which could not be estimat- ed. General Carr, in a brief but happy response, expressed his pride in the State Normal College for the great things it had accomplished and the greater yet to come. Reverence for the women of the past; with faith in the women of the future, he was glad to have a part in these exer cises and to be present on such a happy occasion. In Memory Of Miss Kirkland. A beautiful service was held Sun day afternoon in ,the college audi torium in memory of Miss Sue May Kirkland for so many years lady principal of the State Normal and so universally loved and admired by students and faculty. A simple mus ical program was followed by loving tributes led by President Foust, who introduced her pastor. Rev. Melton Clark the speaker of the occasion. A member of the alumnae who came to attend these services -voiced the sentiments of thousands .. of young women who had enjoyed her friend ship and protection, when she said: '1 just loved Miss Kirkland." LABOR LAWS I.V VIRGINIA. About Forty Warrents Drawn In Danville Last Week. Virginia has a labor law that In sists that fire escapes be .on all three story buildings; that merchants em ploying people to work muBt have ample accommodations for them, and not having an arrest follows. Last week some thirty-six warrants were drawn in Danville against merchants, manufacturers and property owners for violating the state law. The merchants were charged with not having proper sanitary arrangements and with keeping people on third floors without proper fire escapes. Thirty-six violators are quite a number, and the hope is that other towns will take notice and get busy P- d. q. NOT A KICKER. We Simply Do Not Bee Things As Some Others Do. We are against the state wide primary. We want it brought out in a different shape than proposed. We want the legislature to submit us the bill of particulars and let us all vote for its adoption. We are against the Amendments and the Primary belong to the so- called progressives the men who called a meeting and who have de nounced the so-called machine. We insist that if the Ameciments go through the state wide primary will go through one at the polls and the other because the legislators will feel that the progressive spirit is dominant. The state convention refused to put a state wide primary plank In its platform. It said it was in favor of it for some offices but the coun ty offices were left out of the deal. Why? Because that leaves the lever age in the hands of the politicians. We have insisted that we already have a good tax law and all we need is enforcement. It is to be regretted that the democrats insist they can not enforce the law that has obtain ed in this state for many years. If the Amendments are defeated the primary will ba defeated. ' If the Amendments are carried and the leg islature Is to make us tax laws and all other kinds of laws, it will be easy to rush through the primary against the wisdom of the state committee. Of course we need six months of school, and a constitutional amend ment on that would carry if sub mitted by itself as it should be. We are not knocking. We are sitting here regardless of politics and telling you things the politician will not dare tell you. We are not in politics. We are not seeking office and we are not depending on party spoils for our support. That is why we talk put in meeting and that is why we tell you the truth. And as we see it it is to the Interests of every man to vote against the Amend ments and in this way .defeat the state wide primary law that gags you and binds you. Buy a mule!

The Trains. When one gets on a train now to run out to San Francisco and look at the electric sign reading "New Orleans and New Tork Cit." he thinks about the old ways of travel even by rail, and wonders how all came about so quickly came about so you can get through cars A man can start from Greensboro and go to California most any old way, and escape an actual change of trains. i;e can go by Kansas City and catch out of Birmingham, with' out changing trains, a special sleep' er going to Colorado Springs, and by changing at Lincoln, or Denver, can go on through to Frisco Just by stepping from one car into another. I recall how I first came down to North Carolina some twenty six or seven years ago leaving Lincoln Nebraska. We had to go to Wash ington and then down to Richmond and change cars at Weldon, and fool around in a dozen different ways. They would side track you and it seemed like three or four days were taken where now two days will do the trick. The maddest I ever got without trying to whip Bomebody. was one time I wsb coming to North Carolina coming down to live and run a newspaper at Durham. I had been several times to the state, and was coming down from Washington. I had said good bye to the West had shipped a car load of household goods and later took the train. was obliged to stop at Weldon for a meal no dining cars then on. The boys out West had made me a pres ent of a beautiful beaver bat a fine one with their names autographed on the silk Inside and insisted that li wear it. But that hat showed that pride went to Weldon before a fall. I hung that beaver up on the rack and finished my dinner and when I went to get my hat some gentle man had exchanged with me. My beaer was a seven and five eighth I always had a swelled head and the one left me was too small, and It was old and dingy and that was all the hat I had. And I had to go on. Imagine a man with a beaver hat two sizes too small for him I was about to say imagine a man with any kind of a beaver but that was what I had when I struck Durham a beaver too small. I wore it fish ing a few times. I afterwards trad ed it for a Grover Cleveland high white hat and then I took that Cleveland hat and with Dick White burst, now in California, made a big snow man in my front yard at the Yam Farm put the Cleveland hat on the snow man, and that ended for me, for all time, the idea of ever ap pearing in a beaver hat again. Some men look well enough in a beaver hat. Circus men wear them now for the most part, and now and then a nigger "conjure" doctor is seen with one but you'll never catch me with a beaver hat not if retain my ordinary mental bal ance. Testing The Hose. I was Interested in seeing them test the hose the other day seeing if it was rotten as bad been suppos ed. It was all right. I never was a fireman but once. I recall how one time in a little western town I was a printer, and was setting up a tax list a fat piece of county work that paid the publisher about sixteen hundred dollars that year. There had been a big scrap with the coun ty commissioners to see which one of the loathsome papers of the vil lage would get it it paid 20 cents a line solid six' point, and was worth while. I had undertaken to put It into type and because of running out of sorts, and no type foundry near, had to make six point sorts out of eight point and the list was to be locked up on a flat bed press sev en pages of it four on and three waiting and I worked until late into the night, night after night. And was pretty well worn out but the list had to appear at a certain time to be legal. And the night before we were to print, a fire broke out in a hardware store and burned three or four buildings and worked down to the print shop and everybody thought the printing office would go. was asleep in the bloomin build ing, and they finally got me out and looked around. The building was a one story yellow building and the paint had commenced to blister. It was getting warm. It meant to loose the tax list it spelled ruin for the proprietor. I rushed back to the office and found that we had a barrel of water and a big four gallon Jar of concentrated lye. This was used to wash the forms. I picked up the jar of lye and rushed out with it and threw It on the building. An old man named Beattle saw me do this it was hotter than history right around but he bawled ; out loudly that if we could get water we could save that building which meant to save many others. I ran back and carried out all the water that was in the barrel and threw it on and .in the meantime some one had started a bucket brigade from Llbby's liv ery stable, and bucket after bucket of water was hurled against the side and on the roof and the building was saved. It was Just that jar of lye that sav ed the day. It saved the printing office; the tax list and a dozen other small buildings on beyond. I threw on the lye and old man Beattie saw it and directed attention to a lot of people fighting without system. I felt pretty good. But I was worn to a frazzle. I slept late Into the day. We got the paper out. All the stores were closed. The bar rooms were open, four or five of them, and in each were a few drunken loafers waiting until the last horn had blown. We carried each one a pa per, called their attention to the time almost midnight, but . we wanted them to understand it was circulated before a certain day and the affidavit of publication was made all Hunt. I was a nreman that night but other than that I have had no experience. We had no hose lust a lye jar . and a bucket bri gade. CERTAINLY A HARDSHIP. Ranker Are Made Stand Too Much Of Revenue. The bankers fought hard to escape the tax of S2 a thousand on bank capital and surplus in tbe-new reve nue bill, but the senate saia it naa to stand. This means an unneces sary hardship, because there were many other things that should have been taxed. But the men making the laws have authority to go ahead. We have insisted and still insist that there should always be. a con tingent fund or means of raising one. mere snoum De a law stating what could be taxed in case of em ergency, and time should be given in its preparation.' It might be that occasion would never arise to apply it, but if it did arise then the coun try would know in advance what might happen. The banks have al ready been hard hit. They have failed to get money as they expected and they have had to borrow money and pay as much as six per cent for its use. And when a bank loans money at six per cent and pays six per cent for It it is losing money. This addiitonal tax Is a hardship that should be born In part by other things.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA," GAk ?V SALISBURY BEATS VS. She Allows A Discount Of Three Per Cent To Our One. Greensboro proposes to discount the city taxes one per cent if paid in October. Salisbury gives a three per cent discount. In other words it a man owes a hundred dollars for city taxes he can make three dollars by paying them in October. It he lives In Greensboro he gets but one dollar. From this we learn why It Is that "Salisbury Is The Place." Church Celebrates 90th Anniversary.
