T HE T A R H E E L The Initial Alumni Day. (Continued from page 8.) "Here in the South, on the campus of this University through which they ofttimes strolled with their comrades and friends, beneath the great trees under whose shade they lingered long years ago, should be erected a monu ment to the memory of Major John T. Jones and Capt. T. C. Holliday. It should be built by the alumni and students of this institution which has been honored by the heroism of their death, by the gift of the maimed soldier who stood beside them amidst the tangled thickets of the Wilderness, and with them carried the Confederate flag to renown, by the mite of the widow whose son sleeps by the banks of the Rapidan, by the contributions of all who admire moral and personal heroism as exemplified by two of its bravest, best and most glorious expo nents. THE MANLINESS OF LEE. "Let us view the monuments which mark the landscape and fill the capi tals of our Southland the monuments of Washington, Jefferson, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. When you look upon a statue of Robert E. Lee are you satisfied to think that his countrymen have done their duty by perpetuating- his imajre in marble? Are you satisfied alone with the ex quisite charm and manly beauty of his face? Not at all. His whole charac ter comes in review before you and fastens itself indelibly upon your mind. The panorama of the civil war passes before you as you look at his statue, and then you ask what manner of man was this great captain in his private life, in the early days of his manhood and when he was in the walks of civil life? And you will recollect that in peace and in war a sense of duty was the cardinal feature of his character, that he loved truth and scorned the desire for money, that he was a man of the great mass of the people. Upon such a structure can be erected and maintained no permanent foundation for a republic. rome's wise policy. "Rome pursued a different policy. V oggle Bug Coming Mr. Horton, representing Again !

This is the supreme essence of its greatness, the most radiant jewel in its crown of glory. SURGEON DENTISTS, Durham, N. C. Office over Thomas Pharmacy Co. Phone C57. BOYS! W.

What a storv of self-denial, of duty, of valor, of gentleness, of all the virtues which adorn and beautify humanity, his life declares unto you! Your heart and mind both tell you that the world in no age has furnished a more splendid model of true greatness and genuine success. "The genuine success of a nation is to be found in the possession of those Qualities which constitute sue- cess in the individuals who inhabit and control it. No republic can survive for a ereat period of time when its wealth and exclusive privileges are granted to a few to the detriment of the great mass of its citizens. Such a system of government creates multi- plication of selfish desires, artificial wants, and indolent habits by those in possession of these privileges, and emoluments and who really control the State; all tending to luxury and vice and destruction of virtue, morality, and self-denial, without which no free republic can long exist. A. common wealth surrendered to such a sway is traveling fast upon the road trod by cities and states remembered only for their vices, their follies, and their crimes. All history illustrates the truth of this statement. In Athens and Sparta a certain portion of their Kenan, president of the State Alumni alike can fail to discern that the insti tutions which protect him are threat ened by the same dangers which de- stroyed the republics in ancient days, and that the very existence of a con siitutionai iorm oi gfovernment, as devised by our fathers, is in jeopardy. The vast accumulation or wealth by the tew, at trie expense oi the many, the brutal tyranny of money, the insatiate greed of corporate power, the inordinate desire or gain to be used for personal luxury, all tending- to debauchery and crime, are seen by all men, and foreshadow, unless checked, the commencement of the decline of the republic whilst yet in its infancy and before its work has been accom plished. No race of great men can be bred in the atmosphere of commercial fraud and corporate theft when once the body politic is fully tainted and polluted by the noxous miasma in which they flourish.' Against this spectre of evil I place the manifest destiny of our great republic and the fortitude and virtue or its people in the hour of peril and disaster. Long may it survive and may its greatness in ages to come be recognized in the blessings it has afforded all its people, who have the wish and desire to enjoy them, by its justice in dealing with weaker nationalities, in the good it has wrought and in the happiness it has brought to all humanity."'
