The university ! opened with more than a thousand students. A. and M. has a larger reg- j istration than last year, the State j Normal expects 750, Wake Forest, j Davidson, Trinity and other institu tions have a large enrollment in a word, this really will be the best year j in the history of these institutions.. In our own section, Lenoir College,1 Claremont, Catawba and Rutherford have started off well and the indica- tior.s are that their usefulness will be : increased. The Hickory public schools j also are doing well and our Newton ! correspondent, Mr. Cochrane, learns that the county schools will have a ; good year. From top to bottom pros- : pects are good, and the end of the ; year will find that thousands have been benefited.

SEPTEMBER 11. 191 Those state papers which are re- j ceivir.g the Daily Record are earnestly i requested to heed our S. O. S. and ; place us on their exchange list. The : only papers we can borrow from now j are" the Charlotte Observer, Greens- ; boro News and Raleigh Times and as . the two former papers have quite a bunch of subscribers here we do not like to impose on them. To make our difficulties a little harder we have not yet received any of the advance A. P. ' stuff. It's digging to get out the pa per, fellows, so come on with the ex-1 change business. THE TARIFF PROBLEM. We do not know much about the tar iff, and it has been our belief that not many congressmen are familiar with the "subject, but we are interested in the report that Representatives Pou and Page think that certain schedules should be amended. The tariff has been the football of politics, to use an old expression, and it will continue to be tossed about so long as it re mains a political question and not a business matter. The tariff should be handlei like any other vital public question, like the railroads, for exam ple, by a commission that knows ap proximately what it is doing. No other government, so far as we can learn, treats the tariff in such a manner, and even France, notorious for its politics, never interferes with the subject. That is left to experts. The tariff has been the ruin of more administrations than any other cause, and it will continue doing this until the country is brought around to see the necessity for putting it on a sound basis. Coming back to Messrs. Pou and Page, the Record trusts that they will "tinker" with it if they believe it is wrong. Those 70 Catawba county farmers, with Mr. Craig Shuford at their head, know how to get results, and they are not dependant on local markets. They ship their sweet potatoes to northern markets and make quite a neat profit. The association will be incorporated under the cooperative laws of the state, and this means that it has long passed the experimental stage. PRESS COMMENT Unprofitable Talk. i State Journal. Much of the unwise and unprofit able talk which has been going on in the newspapers and elsewhere about the lamentable Leo Frank case is due to a failure to consider the funda mental structure of our government. The administration of justice in cases " of this kind is committed to the sev eral states as the very best means of securing the peace and safety of so ciety. Those at a distance cannot pos sibly know the merits of any individ ual case as well as those who reside in the state where it arose. In fact the officials charged with the admin istration of the laws are in a better position to know what should be done than any others. In this unfortunate case we fear that those outside the state of Georgia have been entirely too active in the matter during the trial and since. If the people of Georgia cannot administer justice and keep order in their state, it can not and will not be done. The lynch ing of Frank was a great crime, of course, and should be condemned, but it is useless to be railing at the state of Georgia and her people. They are as anxious to do the right thing in the matter as the people of any other part of the country. If they fail to do the proper thing, it probably means that no other people under the same circumstances could do better. Those who arranged our government gave a great deal of study to the sub ject, and they made a very wise dis tribution of the powers. The states should be allowed to discharge those duties committed to them without out side interference. If each state will do its full duty in providing for the safety and welfare of its own people, it would have little time left to reg ulate the international affairs of other states.

CAROLINA TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Of particular interest to Hickory and this section will be the celebra- : tion here Thursday, September 23, of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the -opening of Lenoir College. Though this institution does not make pre tensions of being one of the larger colleges, it is noted for sound schol arship and individual attention to stu dents and these are the things that count. Lenoir graduates take their places in daily life with the graduates of any institution. The college is do- 1 ing a fine work for this section of the state, for Hickory in particular, which annually sends a large number of young men and women to its cam pus, and the celebration this month will appeal to hundreds in a direct way. The Record hopes that Presi dent Fritz and his associates will feel, after the day's exercises, that they have been more than repaid for their yrr.H of work in the cause of learning. The Newton Enterprise is putting in some good work for Mr. W. A. Self, the Catawba candidate for attorney general. His candidacy has been well received in all parts of the state, judging from the press. Charlotte 3; Raleigh 1. Greensboro 3; Winston-Salem 2. Durham 7; Asheville 6. (12 innings.)

In deciding to stick to his post dur ing the serious international tension President Wilson is doing no more than is expected of him, but he de serves commendation never the less. The president has been sitting close in Washington practically all his term, and we do not recall any pres ident, not even Lincoln, who has had to face trraver responsibilities. The American people, regardless of po litical affiliations, appreciate the ser vices of this man, and what is more, they feel that with him in the white house the country will be guided safe ly, if possible, through this trying pe riod. There is not a sensible man any where who does not want to avoid war, but there are few men who would have their government fail to live up to its responsibilities in this great crisis. That Mr. Wilson is doing. SHOULD BE PREPARED. Secretary Daniels is right in say ing that the country which is best fortified in inventive genius is the country which will win wars. That is another way of saying what Na poleon and Frederick the Great prac ticed in their great wars when they endeavored to place the most men and artillery on the weakest part of the enemy's line. Conditions have chang ed since those days, but the general idea of being there first, whether with men and cannon as in the olden days, or with modern devices and trenches in these days holds good. In securing a body of capable inventors, with Mr. Edison at the head, the secretary of the navy has shown that he is in earnest about preparing this country against a terrible calamity for noth ing could be worse for a peace-loving nation than to be taken unawares and be compelled to suffer in men and money until such time as it could meet the shock.

Philadelphia Record. In several nearby cities of our union a tragi-comical controversy has arisen over the various titles sug gested as appropriate to the driver of a jitney bus. The name "jitneur" is denounced as an etymological mon strosity as, indeed, it is. The con troversy is not of immediate burn ing interest in Philadelphia, where the jitney bus has, temporarily at least, merged into the background, on which are projected to our (mental) view the things that were in the good old times. As a species, however, the Philadelphia jitney bus is not extinct, but has merely become dormant. It may presently be revived, and then the problem in etymology and nomen clature, which is troubling our neigh bors further east, may return to plague us, too. The name "jitneur" has already made its debut in our midst. It has gained currency in the newspapers those industrious makers of vernacu lar English; and before the name be comes habilitated let us stop, look and listen. The word "jit" has become ac climated and will not be banished nor should it be. It is a good word, combining the desirable characteris tics of brevity and accuracy of defini tion. Nobody could mistake a "jit" for anything else. Moreover, the word is euphonious, according to the stan dards of English euphony. A "whis tling, gurgling gutteral, which you're obliged to hiss and spit and sputter all" thus did Lord Byron describe his native speech. And in "jit" there are sufficient suggestions of hiss, spit and sputter to establish Englishry. But if "jit" easily falls into the open arms of the English dictionary, why should "jitneur" be forced into the reluctant embrace of that much abused repository of words ? The dic tionary has sometimes been called "Our Little Ignorance." It knows enough, however, to choke for a year or two before it swallows a dose of monstrous etymology. There is no reason in the world why "jit" should be encumbered with a French tail when a word has to be coined to designate its driver. To be sure, we have the "chauffeur" with us; but we have had the sense to Anglicize the pronunciation of this importation from France, and doubtless the name will ultimately be naturalized as shofer." But we won't take over a mongrel that has nothing French about it except the suffix. say "letter-carrieur" or "car driveur-" then, why "jitneur" and not plain "jit- I Club Wron Lost Pet i Philadelphia 75 56 .573 Brooklyn 73 62 .540 Boston 71 62 .533 St. Louis 66 72 .47b Cincinnati 64 70 .477 Chicago 02 68 .477 Pittsburgh 64 73 .407 New York 61 71 .462 AMERICAN Remington, Monarch, Smith ' Premier and Remington.

Tampa Tribune. In peaceful and law-abiding New England, where the newspapers have been having many unkind things to say about the south recently a judge was waylaid and assassinated by per sons who were dissatisfied with one of his decisions. This was in the suburbs of the city of Providence, which is in Rhode Is land, which is in New England. Yet the southern press will not.' give vent to an outburst of indigna tion and declare that this pecular crime represents the sentiment of al! New England, or even all of Rhode : Island, or even all of the citizens of , virtuous Providence. . .1 The southern press is fairer than : the northern press, especially the ' New England press, which has attack- j ed the whole south because of the re- j cent happenings at Marietta, a small i town in Georgia.
