Customs change, but principles are eternal, hence the value of study ing from the ancifnts, both in pro fane and sacred page. Cullowhee School, now known as Western Carolina Teachers College, has had another commencement, cele brating the close of another school year. This reminds us that the people of this mountain region owe a debt of eternal gratitude to Prof. Robert L. Madison, who founded- the school, and to his successors, mho have kept it growing. This college has blessed and is blessing the lives of hundreds of people. It affords opportunity for advanced education to a host of boys aiid orirls, who would otherwise be de nied this opportunity. Ix^ng may Cui owhee continue to prosjK'r and to bless! There was much criticism of the XliA ; but when the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional, the busi ness people had the jitters, wondering how the country could work back t<> propseprity without it, and this atti ? ude was reflccfcd in the stock and cotton markets. Immediately upon an uoucement that Roosevelt would pre ':ent a plan lo salvage as much as) possible of the wreckage of the NKA. slocks, cotton and commodities sHartcd hack up again. It was a boomeeransr I ? ' * I in iflooseveljt 's favor. It- is easy (o nitici.se people wKoj are doing 'things, '?lit hard to present a better plan than fihat in use. It has been suggested that the con stitution of the United Started in order lo allow Congress more latitude than j the Supreme Court's NBA decision ! *nys it has. Far be it from us to raise a seotiona! issue at thus hour; but it is nevertheless a fact that- most of I he1 powers that the court has arro gated unto itself, and which period ically provokes storms of criticism, were assumed under guise of author ity of the 14th amendment, one of that group which was put into the constitution, during the tivigic era, for (he purpose of coercing and harass ing the South, recently defeated in war. The legality of their adoption has always been questionable. They [ were forced into 'the constitution ai the point of the hayonef at the | throat of a prostrate people.

It is a combina tion of the kinetoseope and phono graph, and its purpose is to show sound as well as action. The new machine resembles the kinetoseope closely, with the addition of rubber tubes and ear pieces, by means of | which the voices of the j>ersons depict ed in the kinetoseope can be heard. In other words, if the kinetoseope represents the actions of a play on thf stage, the kinetophone supplies the voices of the adors, so that one may get tihe whole scene in mimic repre sentation. It is hard'y conceivable that such an invention can be any thing more than a toy. Xo useful pur pose can be subserved uy the kinei.v phonc, so far as can be judged at tho 1 present time. The reproduction of! figures, accompanied by the phono graphic imitation of voices can I hardly be of any practical utility. The kinetograph will be, we should say, a good deal like the magi'- lan-j tern, a feature at evening entertain ments of a popular kind, but limited ' to that narrow sphere. ALONZO M.
