HARD OX UNIVERSITIES.
However one may disagree with
Richard T. Crane, the Chicago mil
lionaire, on tiie subject of higher ed
ucation, his views are interesting.
He savs that the higher institutions
of learning are a fraud arid are doing
harm bv demoralizing youth instead
of making capable, self-reliant citi
zens out ot them. He is quoted as
saving: :
' I have given a grout deal of
thought and study to the subject of
higher education and have conducted
several systematic investigations
with regard to this and many other
institutions engaged in advanced
lines of education, and the conclus
ion I have reached is that practically
everv one of these Institutions is a
fraud and an imposition on the pub
lic. I maintain that instead of being
a benefit, such institutions as this are
a positive curse and are doing a vast
amount of harm by demoralizing the
youth of this country.
"Instead of teaching young men to j
seek labor they cause them to d-s-!
pise it, and the '.students leave, the;
schools with the feeling that : they are !
too good to work and , are smart
enough to make their living hy itielr
wits..
' Instead of appropriating funds for
such institutions it. would be a good
deal bettor for the state to put a
torch to them' and burn them down,
to go out of the ''higher cduciii ion'
business and permit the boys to go
back to their homes and assist in
supporting their families, instead of
causing them a heavy expense."
That is a pretty fierce indictment
of the University of Illinois, for that
is the particular institution that
called loith his remarks. lie hail
been approached by members of the
Illinois legislature, asking his advice
on the question of increasing the ap
propriations for the university and
the above spicy remarks were made
in answer to that request for advice.
The university has nearly five thous
and pupils and for fifteen years it
has received an average of $2,000,'
000 a year Irom the state, this year's
appropriation being $2,300,000. if
Mr. Crane had merely suggested that
it was time to call a halt in the .ap
propriations he would doubtless have
found many to agree with him, but
because! one university seems to be a
spendthrift, is no reason for calling
down maledictions 'upon those that
are doing their appointed work, many
of them on meagre means, and serv
ing their states, their country, and
the world.
(iOYKHXOR WINNING- PliAVIHTS,
Governor Kitchin Is winning much
praise by the way he is looking after
the duties of his office and the state.
In the three-cornered fight for the
nomination for the governorship,
which was raging in" this state this
time last year, there were many op
ponents of Mr. Kitchin on the ground
that he was an extremist and would
keep the state, if elected. In a tur
moil all the time. They were afraid
that he and the policies which they
thought he stood for would work In
jury to tho state. Now those people
have seen that their fears were
groundless and no governor
has ever been more heartily com
mended for his work than Governor
Kitchin has been for his way of con
ducting business since coming Into
office. The people had become sur
feited with excitement and bustle in
the affairs of the atate and they

Jwanted rest, a cessation of wrangling '
and constant disturbance. Governor
Kitchin Is giving them just the "rest
and peace" they wanted. He is look
ing after the duties of his office quiet
ly and unobtrusively. The people
know that affairs are being attended
to and they are gratified that the ma
chinery of state has stopped creaking
and that business is being conducted
without so much noise. The Salis-
bury Post about conveys the general
opinion and approval now of those
who formerly opposed the governor
In the following editorial: ,

A True North Carolinian.
One of our esteemed democratic con
temporaries recently referred to the
fact that Gov. Aycock was a most es
timable gentleman but a very pooi
politlcian. It limy be that Gov. Ay
cock Is a poor politician, yet he is the
iiiitt fii,inl-i In Vdl'lh ChI'mIIii!!
the :uth of last June at the Charlotte
convention when Gov. Aycock arose to
speak, the. "attention was not given to
him that was formerly was given, and
it was visible that his great inlluence
before a North C arolina audience had
been somewhat dimmed. But before
that long convention had closed Goy.
Aycock was the idol of the conven
tion, and in the closing hours of the
convention-' when he arose to speak,
the convention arose almost as one
man to hear his every word: and at
the close of the convention lie was
stronger -.than ever and every man
who went home from the convention
who remained throughout its session,
realized the greatness of this distin
guished North Carolinian.
Gov. Aycock nmy not be great fit
seeking -office because he does not dis
play the zeal that some men do,' and
may not spend his hours In seeking
and devising means by which to ac
complish "selfish .purposes', "but in the
hearts of the people of the state no
man Is closer, and it comes not from an
effort -on bis part, but from bis re
markable record and the goodness and
greatness that are in the man. Ash

The Mississippi At Natchez.
Off -'Natchez, . 250 miles In a bee-line
from the mouth of the great river

Mississippi has her choice of water

steam. She could go further north if
there vre jiny occasion. Here are
practical facts weM Worth such eou-
nierce carrier the river has a Splendid
future. No other nation has Us equal'.
Off Natchez the Mississippi was
greeted with the most emphatic ex
pressions of loyalty to a common coun
try.. Henceforth she will . carry an
American banner with only thirty-four
stars', ' captured f rom the federal gun
boat Petrel in 1S64 by a company of
cavalry and now given to her by the
brother of the captor. The Governor
of Mississippi spoke on his common
wealth as "a loyal member of the
sirtethood of States, a leader In moral
and material progress." Here are
facts of sentiment which alone: would
far more than have Justified the cruise
up -the river. Sentiment the greatest
power in human affairs.

reasons of patriotism the ' river Voyage

Judge Connor.
To the Editor of The Times.
When our chief magistrate threw
the mantel of federal judgeship upon
the shoulders of the broad minded,
honorable Judge H. G. Connor, it
was not because he could not find a
capable man in his own party, for he
threshed around among both parties,
and from them he selected tho man
of all men whom he thought would
most worthily fill the position, which
makes it a greater honor to Judge
Connor. Therefore, I think it un
just, ungrateful. In the democratic
press from this high and noble act of
our president, prompted by the high
est motive by trying to put office
above party to turn the dogs of war
upon him, and lining up and arraign
ing his own party against him. I
was informed by a party who heard
his speech In Petersburg last week,
say that he very gently rebuked both
parties for having so much to say
about his appointment of a federal
judge in North Carolina.
In the words of the poet we might
say of Mr. Taft:
'"TIs ho whose law is reason; who
depends
Upon that law as on the best of
friends."
Wo can truly say of Judge Henry
G. Connor:
"He fixes good on good alone and
- owes
To virtue every thought that he
:.: knows: -Who,
If he rises to Btatlon of com
mand, Rises by open means; and there will
'.".'.-i stand
On honorable turns, or else retire;"
