We shall be glad to publish pertiuent discussions of college topics. The Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes the whole college will aid it along this line. The University needs for some of its bards to strike their silent lyres. At the notable welcome-home the college recently gave its football team, college song's were con spicuous by their absence. There was plenty of yelling, but it was clearly demonstrated that we are sadly in the need of songs. They are most appropriate to such occa sions, and, breathing the leve of al ma mater, make patriotic pulses beat faster. A college without its songs is like a springtime without its flowers. They keep alive and even often create college spirit. The men who write them are, as the saying goes, greater than the lawgivers; they are rendering a service of the first magnitude It will give the Tar Heel utmost pleasure to publish any worthy ef forts in this direction. The neces sity is great; let it be met manfully We must, by no means, be without anthems to sing in celebration of Virginia's downfall and departed glory. Let every member of the student body who possibly can go over to Raleigh Saturday to whoop Caro lina on to a great victory over Georgia. Nothing will put heart and hardihood into our boys like the presence of those to whom their success is most dear. There must be such a gathering of the clans in the capital city that a census of the University can be taken then and there. Let there be such a gather ing of the uuterrified clans that our opponents, realizing that the "Car olinians are coming," will wish that they were "Marching through Georgia." We are on the high road to the Southern Champion ship; a big victory over Georgia will put us some stadia nearer it. ' .Manager Car r has arranged for a special train to Raleigh Satur day. It will leave here about 10:30 A. M. and leav; Raleigh about 7 P. M. The fare will be about $1.80. A special tar will be pro vided for ladies. Let everybody ffo. Messss. N. C. Curtis and K. P.

Mr. Ramon Reyes Lala delivered his famous lecture on "The Philip pines" in Gemini Hall Saturday night. There was a large crowd present, all the seats being occu pied. The lecture was well illus trated bv ovtr 100 colored views showing the scenery of She country and the customs and occupations of its inhabitants. It gave a good account of our newly acquired terri tory and was very interesting to ..wrvnup there. Dunny the even- - j " inff, Mr. Lala sang several h ilipi no songs which showed ckarly that the Filipinos are not without musi cal ability. In introducing the speaker, Dr. Venable said that Mr. Lala had fought in the insurrection against Spain and on this account. had been forced to leave his native land, that he had formerly been an edi tor of a Manila paper, was edu cated at St. Johns, London, has been in America 14 years and is the only Filipino who is a naturalized citizen of this country. He has nkn written the best book ever published on the Philippines. In part, Mr. Lala said; The present revolt against the United States is confined to the Tagalos and to only a very few of them. It was instigated by in triguing chiefs whose sole aim was celf-advancement. It was also partially caused by a misunder standing between the Filipinos and the Americans. Asruinaldo cannot be taken as a representative Filipi r hut i much admired 'bv his fol lowers foi his courage and shrewd ness. The refined class of Filipinos are in sympathy with the American p-overnment. As a whole, they are o-entle, ductile, and are Christians The savages of the interior are not Filipinos, but descendants of the African negroes. Most of the inhabitants of the islands have civilization to a consid erable extent. Lawyers, physi cians and members of every profes sion are found there in brief they have their own civilization. Thev desire to become a part of the world and to have a share in its progress and blessings. They want an opp rtunity to work out their own destiny, un molested by any foreign power. They are not yet, however, ready for independence. They have nev er had a chance to try to govern themselves, and hence might com mit many grievous faults. The best classes desire a protectorate under which they may improve and then decide for themselves whether they shall be annexed. Humanity demands , that the Uni ted States keep the Philippines and humanity is the paramount law. An nexation would no more destroy this p-overnmenL than did the acquisition nf Alaska and Hawaii. The Phil- lipines were discovered in 1621 by the Spaniards. They are as large Neas wYork, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey combined They are very mountainous, and abound in fine fruits and plants. The remainder ot the time was spent in showing pictures of the noted places of the islands, and the life and manners of its people. Many of the views were taken in and around Manila, which has a population of 460,000. It is divid ed into two parts, the old city and the new city, which are separated by a wall. In it are merchants from all nationalities. In speaking of Aguinaldo Mr. Lala said that he was a young man about 30 year s old. He served in the Spanish army for some time, but was sus pected by the Spanish and arrested. He escaped, however, and has since been their most bitter foe. PARKER FOUNTAIN PENS. GUARANTEED. Pleasant thoughts and good friends belong to those who use Parker Pens. No joint to leak. No Screw to break. No old-fashioned nozzle. , Perfection in all respects. SKINNER, Agent. A strong talk was made last week by Prof. Perrin of Yale, to the students, urging upon them more dignified and respectful observance of the Chapel Service. A. M. Carr, '02, spent Sunday in Raleigh. Mrs. F, M. Beard of Winston, N. C, has been in town during the past week canvassing for her book "My Own Life, or A Deserted Wife." She is the authoress of her autobiography aud merits praise for such a work. This book contaius 203 pages in eluding a cut of herself and hus band. It is indeed a valuable re production and is endorsed by all After being deserted, she was thrown upon her own resources with two children to support She has traveled over 8 States up to the present date, selling about 5000 copies of this book, price 5o cents. It is published by Edwards & Broughton of Baleigh. Mrs Beard is recommended by Mr. A H. Filer, one of the leading lawyers of Winston. And we see no reason for anything but success in her canvassing tour. On Saturday the 3rd, the Fresh class eleven met the Horner School team on the gridiron and defeated them hv a score of 11 to 0. Both teams played very good ball. Hor ner was much outweighed by the Freshmen, but the teams were about evenly matched. ESTABLISHED 1868. W. B.FARRARSSON, JEWELER.
