The Daily Free Press. THE FREE PRESS CO., Publishers Publiilied Evary Afternoon (except Sunday) at Klnjtor. North Carolina. DANIEL T. EDWARDS. .. Editor Entered at the Postoffice as tecond class matter GREENSBORO "DOES HERSELF PROUD." The first reunion of Tar Heels is now a matter of history. The wanderers came from thirty states, and perhaps more. They taw in Greensboro and throughout the State of North Caro lina a life and growth that excelled ihelr expectations. There were at least twenty thousand of them when they came, but they went away one compo site body of Tar Heels bearing in their minds and hearts the refrain, "Carol'na, Carolina, heaven's bless ings attend her!" Greensboro was indeed earnest about this reunion, and the result was a magnificent success, rellectlng credit not only upon the city itself, but upon the whole State. Open-handed hospi tality was the watchword from start to finish. The fatted calf was brought forth and slain, and a bountiful feast, consisting of many and varied courses was spread for the benefit of all. The management throughout has "been enthusiastic, and enthusiasm the very life blood of any live under taking. One of the most impressive facts about the reunion was the fact that its deliberations and ceremonies were pre sided over by that honored statesman, lion. Matthew W. Ransom. Senator Ransom it an old man now, having to some extent lost the attractive flash of the eye and elasticity of step so char acteristicof former days. While he does not possess that fine physique in its entirety, nor that absolute control of well trained muscles that gave him mob a commanding appearance in former days, he still preserves his wonted keenness of intellect, and an unawervlnglove for his native State, Iter people and institutions. The assembled Tar Heels, with one accord, united in paying tribute to their presiding officer, the venerable ex-senator. Men and women too, eminent in every walk of life were present and partici 'pated in the reunion. Even though they were not on the official program. they still made up an integral part of the affair as planned. The value both to themselves and to their mother Siate of their visit was by no means ssened, because the management provided opportunity for a great deal of personal intermingling between the residents and guests, in that the public exercises were shortened as much as possible. And in these private talks, and in this personal contact will come per haps the greatest value of the reunion. The personal Interchange of ideas that takes place in this way cannot but bless all the participants therein. It was well for the wandering sons and daughters to look in again upon the old mother. And it was both profitable and pleasant for the mother to have the distant children at home 3 again. The children found the mother In the renewal of her youth. They were constrained to believe that the old lady had been successful in her search for the famous foundation, for she appeared to be decidedly more coquetlsh and enticing than comports nicely with her advanced years so far as proprieties usually go. Then the old lady found out that she had snore distinguished living, breathing children, residents of other states than veo she had been accustomed to claim 2br herself. Greensboro has done a great thing for herself and for the State in bring lag this reunion to a happy consumma tion. The event was a unique one in the history of our American Union. It will probably inaugurate a custom that may be far reaching in its conse quences. ' Nothing but good can come from a gathering around the old vine and fig : tree, such as has just taken place in the Gate City, r ' The lessons that were learned from the gathering will find expression during many years to come. At one time there was a large exodus from the State. This emigration con sisted of some of our very best citi zens. But conditions have changed now. Our enterprising young men and women will find at home unexcelled op portunities for achieving success along a great number of lines, and the young l person who covets success will think f long before going elsewhere to find it There Is no doubt of the fact that we were all made better citizens by the : reunion. ' ''.' ' 1 . ' M uzzle the Agitators, and AH Questions Can Be Solved By Bishop WARREN A. CANDLER of the Methodist Episcopal Church HE "Chautauqua season" is a very dangerous period of the year, eispecially during those years when the coiigrt'Hs of the United States is not in session and the thrifty statesman who is deficient in a sense of responsibility for his words is "out for the stuff" and when platform managers who have an eye for the gate receipts only are out hunting for "drawing" sensationalists without regard for the kind of things that the sensation mongers may pour out of their easy acting mouths. What a pity that these men undertake to handle ntntu-rs so serious and so complex! Yea, what a peril! Adventurous sportsmen discharging firearms in a powder house would not he a greater menace to good order and security. (iood men, helped of (Jod, can solve all our questions if they can only lind a way to MLZZI.L THE AU1TATOK5 or if they cun find a way to switch the agitators oil on subjects that they can talk about without endangering the peace of society. I think, for exaru- that the race question could be settled if we can find out how to silence tne men who make merchandise out ol its discussion. Jor one. 1 am not nearly so at ram ol the race miesiion as x am oi tne race of "Chautauqua PLATFOKMERS and PERFORMEKS." The apprehension of the mischief they may do to all the races in our country haunts me all through the dog days. I know how to get on with the negr -es, for I was brought up with them. But one of these problem solving talkers scares me. I am not afraid of him for what he really is, but for what some well meaning people may take him to be. A bleating calf jumping suddenly from under a chinquapin bush may make a really gentle horse run away, or a moon eyed horse hitched alongside a reliable nag may shy at what he thinks is a bogy and frighten his mate in the most dangerous misbehavior.

PHONE 176 lictionary Makers Are Charitably Disposed Toward Slang Words By BENJAMIN C. SMITH, Editor of the Century Dictionary HERE is a popular misconception as to the purposes to which a dictionary may properly be put. Strictly speaking, it is NOT A STANDARD OF GOOD USAGE, but its mission is rather to interpret usage as it finds it. Because a word appears in a dictionary it is not necessarily a word which writers of cultivated taste would use. In short, a dictionary is properly merely a key to the language. Each case must be determined by itself. When a word has for some reason caught the public's fancy so that it becomes established in the language of slang it generally finds its way into the dictionaries. If a writer of such admittedly good taste as Lowell, for instance, then uses the word in a serious sense it thereupon ceases to be slang, and the explanation "slang" or "colloquialism" is dropped out. t n t Good taste hi writing must be obtained by reading what men have written whose hterarv taste is unquestioned. It cannot be acquired bv consulting dictionaries, the makers of which are far more charitable in accenting newly coined words than are the best writers. How goon may "stung," the latest slang word that has obtained any general usage, be expected to find a place in a dictionary!

I prefer the company of the man who does the robbing and the abusing any day to that of the fejlow who tamely submits to it The doctrine of nonresiatance does not apply to civic politics.

Good citizenship, now and forever, is Chris tian citizenship. CHRISTIANITY AND CITI ZENSIILP TO ME ARE CONVERTIBLE TERMS. The Christian who ia after a place in heaven for himself merely and is willing to step on his neighbor to climb in, who saves his soul with the hope of a beautiful mansion in the skies while he lets his helpless brother wallow in a pigsty here below -I wouldn't give a cent for his Christianity or for his chances in the other life either. , By rights he ought to take his turn in the pigsty, and I think likely he will " ,'" - THE AMERICAN WHO THINKS MERELY OF GETTING RICH, WHO PLANS HOW HE CAN LAY UP RICHES WHILE HIS BROTHER IN HIS POOR TENEMENT FREEZES AND STARVES AND HIS DAUGHTERS ARE SOLD INTO SLAVERY OF PROTECTED VICE, IS NOT WORTHY OF THE CITIZENSHIP THAT IS THE PRICELESS BOON OP THE REPUBLIC ' ' 7 ' The man who can help and will not, who will leave his poorer neighbor to the slums and slum politics that man BETRAYS BUS COUNTRY as much and as truly as if he deserted its flag in a fight and went over to the enemy.
