A meeting1 of the Western North Caro lina Weekly1 Press Association and ; alec the Ititermpnt Education Council '? .at Cullowhee on the same date brought together an unusually large number of educational and public leaders of the state for the occasion. President John B- Calfee of the Ashevllie Normal, one of. the principal speakers, paid tribute to, the' rapid -growth and' Work ot Cullowhee and lta , promising .' significance as an educa tional institution in Western North Carolina. He fchose^ for the subject ' | of hJnaddresa'SpIrltualForees in Edu and thinking. His message was timely and greatly appreciated by those pres ent. BxrPresldent Madison ,ln a short address then reviewed- the history ot t -? the SchooUBhowlng the, early forces ? which contributed to- Its development and the splendid services and untiring ! , ! efforts of Mr. Walter B. Moore in be-, h?" ot the , institution. He recalled the wotoc of Mr. Modre In getting a bill > through the legislature aa early as ? 1893, - carrying an appropriation of|l,- 1 600 for the Cullowhee School. This . fact was significant In that It marked the first recognition of the School by the state. "J . /Mr. Moore himself, who. Is chairman Of the Board of Trustees, was present, and spoke In a modest way about the] services he' had been able to render, "? and eipreased'-the Ulealre" 'that the building nanled in his honor might add to the comfort of maby young ladles yet to come to CnUoWh^e seeking bet ter educational advantages. State Su- 1 Pflrintendent A. T. Allen, the conclud ing speaker, ouflined In a convincing manner a larger program of public education and equality . of educational 1 ' opportunity for the .boys and girls ot North Carolina; He showed some Of the outstanding Inequalities now ex isting bet Weoa town and country and between adjacent districts in eduica opportunities. He saggested the policy of a jntylmum schaol t#rm| eight moUths for the state, a county wide system of taxation, better t min ed teachers, and Improved serylce,' in I transportation. - He concluded "hlal speech by saying that North Carolina should take the same attitude toward ' schools as toward roads; and that is, the best only. shOuld suffice.

" ? ' > . Congress Adjourns and the ' Country' t Eye* Turn to G. 0. P. Convention. By EDWARD W.' PICKARD r** ONGRESS adjourned on Saturday, and the country heaved on* great sigh of relied Business, tvlildi had been depressed,' begait to perk up ; and stocks, rthlcU had been In something of * slump, regained some of their lost yaluea .The people pf the United States turned with interest, unmixed with excitement, toward Cleveland, where the Republican party was gathr *tlng fpr. the piirpdse of nominating CaJvin Coolldge for President In the closing days of tiie session, several pieces of projected legislation went by the boards. The McNary Haugen .bill designed for thfe relief of ; the farmers was defeated la tlie house by * Vote of 224 to 184, and modifica tions of It were also rejected. The twfia bloc did ttot wish ai?y of the other fartp relief bills passed, and then President Cboildge -told the con gressional leaders that he would pot approve of any measure thit included price filing. That settled It for the present, j As for' Muscle Shoals,- that also went . over until next session. The senate htricnlture committee, reporting fa vdrSbly the Norrls bill , providing gov ernment control of power from the site* denounced unsparingly the bill ':whlcfa would give the project to Henry Ford and exposed the financial fal lacies of the Detrolter's . offer. The , report was written by Senator Norrls, %bo took full advantage of the chance to say. what he thought of the admin istration. Pointing to Ford's denun ciations Qf Secretary of War Weeks and Indirectly of the administration at -Hie time tlie Gorgas plant was sold, the report said; ; "To appease* his anger a .vacillating administration publicly annonnced that the amount received for the plant ,Wjjuld Ire, credited .on the $5,000,000 Ford offered for Muscle Shoals If his t>ld was accepted by congress. This kindly favor, perhaps superinduced by other considerations, so pleased Mr. .'Ford that his anger at the admlnls tratlon\waa not only turned Into love and admiration, bnt he became so vio lently friendly that he himself with drew as a candidate for President and announced his support of the execu tive who made such liberal conces sions." Senators Seflln, Ladd. Smith, Har -rison and Caraway submitted a mi nority" report favoring tlie Ford bid, bnt the best they could do was to ob tain unanimous .consent to make Muscle Shoals the flist order of busi ness after the next session on Decem ber 3. Senator McCormlck's resolution pro posing, the twentieth amendment to ?he Cotis'tltntlon by which congress Is empowered to control the labor of persons dntJef elghfeeh years of age was passed by the senate, the vote be ing 01 to 23. Tb? bouse approved of the proposed amendment- laSt April,, so it now goes to the states for.ratlfl I cation. Sixty bills for the modification .of the Volstead act were left reppslng In the room of the house Judiciary com mittee, despite the efforts of their sixty authors and of others who de dsre that 2.75 per cent beer should not be calletf Intoxicating. ? ' * ? p RESIDENT COOUDGE took the tax reduction bill and the Treasury department's analysis thereof on a week-end trip down the Potomac, and when he returned to the White Honse Monday he signed tlie' measure. At the lame time he Issued a Statement severely Crltldalng fhany fnatnres of the bill and VrtsdglnR himself to do ail he- ean- In ?he -n^frr session of -con-, greas toward the passage of a tax b|ll | "less political and more truly "eco- i nomlc." The President said that In Its ad- | mlnlstratlve features the bill repre- | ?eats generally an Improvement over existing law; that It will provide snffl | dent revenue for the fiscal year 1925, and probably thereafter If unforeseen expenses do not arise; that the retro active tax cut of 25 per cent Is ex pected by the people, and should be promptly given, and that It Is desirable to have a definite determination of the taxes as applying to 1024 Incomes while the Income Is still being re-' cetved. For these reasons he gave It his approval. > ; ? .. " ? * SO' FAR as the Republican national committee could do So, everything was- fixed up- f^r the Cleveland' con vention. Frank W. Mondell, ' former congressman from Wyoming, was se lected as permanent chairman and Charted B. Warren, ambassador to Mexico, was chofceh to bib chairman of the resolutions committee which builds the platform. Mr. Coolidge picked on Marion ??roy Burton, president of the University of Michigan, to present bis name to the convention, and Dqctor Burton accepted the grateful task. He; 'told the press that he would speak not1 as a partisan but as a citizen and a friend and admirer of Mr. Coolidge,' . Fred Upham of Chicago announced1 thatthe would resign from the post- of treasurer of the party, and' his elec tion as - national committeeman &>m Illinois was assured. Chairman Adkifis and Secretary Lockwood of the na tional committee also will retire Boy' O. West of Chlcagowlll succeed tiie latter. He has betin long prominent In politics and is even more silent than the President. V ,? , Naturally most of the pre- conven tion ' discussion was concerning the vice presidential nomination. There developed a strong demand that Frank O. Lowden be given the -honor, fend; Mr. "Coolidge let It be known that the Illlnolsan would be "very acceptable" as his running mate. >/ Np arrangements were announced for placing Senator Hiram Johnson In nomination for the Presidency, and the LaFollette headquarters in Washing ton said the Wisconsin senator's name wduldjiot be presented to the conven tion. His 'little' blotfc of delegates probably will vote for him t<J the ;end. ; , ' ? ... TURNING ..now to the .Democrats, one rea4q. with Interest the state ment by .FfankHnD. Roosevelt, man ager for Gov. A1 s5inlth, that tlie New York delegation as a whole will make no effort to have a dry plank lnsefted In the platform, nor will the New York Democratic' organization sanc tion such an attempt. Senator Ralston seefnlngiy put him self out of the running by requesting the Indiana state convention to send an unlnstru^Ad delegation, to (New York. It is probable that Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana, will be permanent chairman of the Democratic conven tion. George Brennan of Illinois Is for him, asserting' that "aside from geographical reasons, the distinguished record made by Senator Walsh In dis closing to the country scandals with out parallel In the history of the na tion, should make his 'selection In evitable." Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi has been selected as tem porary chairman and the keynote sounder. IN SOME respects the report .if the senate oil committee, prepared by Senator Walsh and submitted Thurs day, was surprisingly mikl. It charged flagrant disregard of the law In the Sinclair and Doheny leases, which were declared to be "indefensibly wasteful" and based on a policy which congress-alone had authority to deter mine. Former Secretary Fall's secret negotiation of the leases was described as In disregard of the statutes, and his acceptance of *100,000 from Doheny Was called "In the last degree- repre- ) htnslble." The executive order by which President Harding transferred the oil reserves from the Navy to the ! Interior department was held In the report to have been illegal. _ On the other hand, the report exon- 1 prated former Secretary of the N#vy | Denby and Assistant Secretary Roose velt of any part whatever in the nego- j tiatlons leading to the leases, and de- I clared that the committee t. und no' fscts of Importance In support of the , rumor that public officials had specn j ? * lated In Doheny and , Sinclair oil stocks. Furthermore, it said "the evi dence failed to establish the existence" of any conspiracy between oil oper ates and others at the Republican national convention In 1820 for ex ploitation of public resources. The send'11)? of marines to drtve claimants from Teapot Dome after the Sinclair leas<! had teen signed was de nounced "as a perfectly outrageous use of the armed forces of the United States," resorted to "to avoid a Ju dicial Inquiry Into the validity of 'the Sinclair lease." . ; . ? ? ' 1 . ? HARRY DAUQHERTY refused last week to testify before the senate committee that lias been Investigating him, so Chairman Brookhart?-wbo has ' ?Just been renominated by tlie Repub licans of Iowa ? drew up a partial re ' port, and the future course of the In-' ,qulry will 'depend on the Supreme court - decision as .to the committee's, powers, r In a letter read' by his attorney, Mr. ,'Daugherty expressed his resentment against what he considered tlie unfair ' actions- of ? the committee, and added: "At this point I take occasion to con 1 tradlct and deny any , inference, , sur iqlsQ br sufcplcloh that I profited In any Illegal, cotrrupt or unethical way, di rectly, or fpoirectly, by reason of any activities of political associates or friends at any time'; or that my. con duct; either official, or personal, was ?directly or indirectly Influenced at any time, In any way, by venal and ??cor rupt1' motives." \ ~ PREMIER POINCARE of , France has resigned, and President Mil lerapd has invited Edouard Harriot, leader of thq radicals, to form a new ministry. But Mlllerand himself 'has, up to the time of writing, retused stubbornly to comply with; tb6, de mands of his opponents and get 6ut of office, and the members of the leit are riot willing to form a government under Mlllerand's presidency. Paul Palnleve is the man the left bloc wants for pres ident and as a step toward that hfe was elected president of the chamber of d^utles. Opposition parties In Germany hav ing been unable to get together for the formation of a government. President Bbert reappointed Chancellor Marx and his cabinet, despite the howls of the Communists and Nationalists. Mart told the relchstag that the Dawes re port was "Germany's last chance of sal vation" and that the government was prepared to receive the report as an unalterable and indivisible whole. WHAT was at first reported tc* be a serious attempt at a revolution In Rumania turned out to be a peaceful demonstration by 10,000 peasants, led by General Averescu, who marched' into Bucharest and presented a protest against the government of Premier Bratlano, and then quietly dispersed. The opposition to Bratlano Is growing so strong that his resignation is pre dicted. Albanln, however, realU has a revt> lutlon, led by Rezed Sehalja. The rebels are reported to have captured Scutari and Skodra, ^nd there was a rumor that they had tajcen Tirana, the capital. The fighting Is fierce. In re sponse to the request of the American minister, Vl.cg.Jjlmlral Andrews,, com manding American naval forces In Eu ropean waters, was Instructed to hold a warship In readiness to proceed to Durazzo. Chancellor seipki. of Austria was seriously wounded by a young Communist, and thereupon the Hun garian police announced that this at tack was part of a vast plot for the assassination of King George of Eng land. President Mlllerand of France, Chancellor Mar* of Germany and other national leaders. The plot was dis covered when the Hungarian police arrested a man named Zetaron. -mem ber of a secret anaiyhlst death society with headquarters in Lobben, Austria, fo/ an attempt to kill.Regent Horthy. r\l'R world encircling army avls V-' tors, after a pleasant stop in Japan, flew last wee? 500 miles over the China sea to Shanghai, where they were given a great Welcome.

State Fifth In Developed Power. North Carolina stands titth among the leading states In amount of water power now utllzed according to the U. S. Geological Survey which has Just recently brought up to date its records of developed water power in the United States. Information to this effect has Just been received by the local office of the survey. The five states leading the nation In developed, water power ?are New York, California, Washington Maine and North Carolina In the order named. New York leads with 1,642,983 horsepower developed. North Catolina has a total of 453,100 horse power; Calfornla has 1,451,830 horse power; Washington, 480,366 and Maine 473,188. The water powers In the country are now utilised by a total of 3,200 wat er plants of 100 horse power or more with a total capacity of installed water wheels of 9.086,958 horsepower which l8^*n increase of 1,160 horsepower pr 16 percent over the total of the previ ous estimate In 1921, when the Instal led waterpower was 7,926,968. the installed water power Is used by Of the present total 81 per cent of public utility companies .and 19 per cent In manufacturing, plants. Cor responding percentages In 1921 were 78 and 22, respectively, indicating a trend toward an increased production of hydro-electric power In the public utility plant' for distribution to indus try. Since the compilation of records in 1921, North ' Carolina has displaced Montana, which then ranked fifth In developed water power. North Carolina An Exporting State.
