the home grounds last Wednesday
by defeating the team from Bing

them up in the second.
Council leads off with a hit over
first but a moment later is forced at
second bv Cocke. On Wilcox's
hit Cocke ffoes to third and both
men score on Sweeney's two-bag
e'er. However the rest are easv

both move up a bag but Mat
thews ends the inning by flying out
to Cocke.

walks to the initial but is out at
tempting to steal second. Holt
puts the ball over second for a sin
yle and bmathers does the same
over short. Council scores Holt on
a pretty two-basfgfer, Smathers
going to third. Cocke raps out an
other two-bagger, scoring Smathers
and Council. Wilcox ends the in
ning by flying out to Moore J.
Smathers makes a pretty stop of
Caldwell's grounder and throws
him out at first. Nixon hits safely
over short but is forced a moment
later by Moore J. Carr tries to
complete a double and throws over
Holt's head, but Earle gets the
ball and throws Moore out at sec
ond. ..In the fonrth a single by Graham
and a double by Donnelly add one
run to Carolina's score.

Geology Tramp No. 1769.
In May it is; a motley mass
Known better though as Collier's class
Assemble at the gate.
Past two, the time; the sun is hot
But here we are all on the spot
Save one co-ed we wait.
Ah now we're off to have our fun
To hear Cobb's jokes and then his pun
And see his sunny smile.
He carries us cross brook and dale
O'er sunny hill, through shady vale
To regions rough and wild.
Behold a granite rock he spies
We gather, open wide our eyes
As Lamb we are as meek.
He stands erect, hammer in hand,
One foot on rock, other on land,
With lifted voice does speak.
"You know too well the story told
How Brur Rabbit in days of old
Beat dust from out a rock.
I wish to show you now in truth
The way 'twas done. I know forsooth
I have the strength in stock."
He rolls his sleeves looks mighty strong
(To pigmy race he does belong)
And tries the rock to break.
He feels so youug, light as feather
Leaps in air, cracks heels together
And hits for goodness sake.
Hit once, hit twice, hit thrice, he fails
Then tears his hair and bites his nails
And ugly faces make.
Restless and I decide to leave
The man is daft I do believe
I flinch, I scare, I wake.
Pax.

No nation can be truly great and
happy that d es not recognize the

Church and State. Although the

VANDERBILT
DEBATE
Dr. K. P. Battle spent Thursday
in Raleigh.
SPEECH OF MR. ADAMS
The American people are fast be
coming a great industrial people
This industrial greatness demands
great facilities in transportation
and the question then arises, who
should give us these facilities, the
govornment or private enterprises
This depends upon our idea of gov
ernment, and its relation to individ
ual activity. Ttjis government is
essentially a political compact, to
protect private rights, to maintain
reputable conditions among its citi
zens in all pursuits, and promote
the public good.
Our government being essentially
a political compact, any phase o
life that has by nature a politica
basis, and can be controlled and de
vel loped btst by political forces, be
longs by nature to the function o
government; while any phase of life
that has not any political basis, and
cannot be controlled and developed
best by political forces, belong by
nature not to the fuction of govern
ment, but to the realm of industrial
enterprise. Whenever the govern
ment oversteps this natural bound
ary, wnicn marus out its proper
function, it restricts individual
activity, works a political and social
evil, and disturbs those equitable
conditions among its citizens, which
it should maintain.
Transportation has by nature an
industrial basis, and is as much i
vital and organic part of our indust
rial life, as merchandising, manu
facturing, or production. Railroads
are primarily great industrial forces
and the railroad problem is essenti
ally an industrial problem, and
must be settled by the industrial
world, upon business principles and
by political platforms.
Since transportation has by nature
an industrial oasis, and the rail
road problem is an industrial prob
lem, the true relation of our gov
ernment to corporations engaged in
transportation, is essentially the
same, as the relation of the govern
ment to similar corporations en
gaged in any other industrial enter
prise. Hence, to own and operate
the coal mines, the oil mills, or the
cotton factories, is as much a funct
ion of the Federal government, as to
own and operate the railroads.
Such a policy would mean the
adoption of paternalism in its broad
est form. Continental Europe
proves that such a railroad policy,
goes hand in hand with kingship
and the paternal theory of govern
ment. A strong centralized admin
istration, or bureaucratic system of
government such as t ranee, or
Germany, may own and operate the
railroads successfully. Aut a legis
natural inclinations of the American
people, are by no means bureaucrat
ic. Therefore, such a railway
policy is not only out of harmony
with our form of government, but it
is hostile to the political instincts and
natural inclinations of the American
people. But such a policy, if a
dopted by a popular government
like ours would not be passed upon
sound economy. Political self pre
servation would become self interest
on the part of the managers, which
would demand that they call men
into their employ, according to party
creed aud political platforms, based
upon both the principles and the
precident, to the victor belong the
spoils. Such a policy has within
its inherent nature the evils of partv
fashions and political fluctuations
and destroys the seed and germ of
pure and permanent economy.
Beyond this such a policy could
not meet the demands of the Ameri
can people. Natural conditions and
the growing industrial demands of
thd different sections of our nation,
are not identical, and no one rail
way policy that the Federal gov
ernment could devise would be
suited to the demands of the differ
ent sections. In the construction
and extension of railroads, sectional
conflicts would arise and local in
dustrial development would be crip
pled and impeded.
The industrial interest of the
nation demands a system ot rail
roads, that are vitally connected
with, and dependent upon, the busi-
1 1 J 1 . L i f i.1
ness ana inauiriai interest ui mc
people, for their own existence, so
that the railroads for self interest
will find it neccessary to adjust
themselves to the natural conditions
of the different sections, and in this
way, meet the demands of the peo
ple, aud render to them the most ef
ficient service. These demands are
satisfied by our present rail way
policy Railways are called into
existence by the laws of supply and
demand, and they are dependent up
on the public for their own existence.
Hence, the interest of the railroad
and the interest ot the people are
dentical. And this harmony of in
terest is further guaranteed by the
act that the railroads are subject
to the state and local laws.
