A NOTE FROM PRESIDENT
WINSTON.

The Chronicle has received note
from President Winston, OF the
State University from which it takes
this extract:
"The moral sense Of the people
has frequently been violated by the
University traditions. 1 shall hope
to correst all this. A genuine Uni-
versity would lead in all that eleva:es
and strengthens our citizenship. I
have already indnced the trustees:
l TO provide an evenings enter
tainment for people who don't
dance.
2. To have compulsory prayer in
the college chapel each morning..
3. To have Bible study in The col
lege course.
The students have voluntarily
abandoned hazing."
President Winston fully recognizes
the oppositions against the Universi.
| ty and the certain measures Of indit;
ference existing among some of the
people of the State as to its claims
He is determined to burn away eve
ry barrier, as it were, and transmit
, the University almost new creature
to his successor. He is both devoa
scholar and a leader of men. This
is the brightest moment in the his
, tory of the University Chariot

In last Fridays issue the Star
writes a long editorial on the Pension
Frauds, showing how millions ofthe
peoples money is squandered. Read
carefully the following extract from
the editorial, which is the Stars ex-
planation of why it is not stopped:
LAS political power tEe soldier
vote has been and still is mighty
factor, which the Republican party
works to retain by the bribery of
large and increased pensions and
which the Democratic party does not
care TO run the risk Of altagonizing,
and for this reason there is hardly a
politician to day, Of any party, who
would proclaim pension reform one
of the great issues Of the day.
The Republicans advocate large
pensions from motives of political
expediency and from motive, of
political expediency the Democrats
are afraid to tackle the monster.
This accounts for this forty million
fraud.
The people are now paying $780,
900, 900, or more, year in pensions
and will in all probability be paying
before another year ends 5000, ,0OU,'
600. But it is not an issue because
the politicians who keep their eyeE
on that soldier vote dodge it,"
We wish to endorse the above
and at the same time call attention
to the fact that the above is not the
only issue that concerns the peOpl,
that the politicians dodge. Finan
cial reform has not been an issu
because the politicians, who keel
their eyes on Wall Street and tn
Gold bugs, dodge it. But when tn
people open their eyes, who Cal
dodge them?

TT MUST BE A MISTAKE.
If Not, Will the Atlantic Coast
Line Explain &?

We clip the following from the
last issue of the Fayetteville Obser-
Yer:
"The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
company publishes the following
special rates for the occasions named:
State Farmers Alliance Meeting
at Morehead City: Round trip tick
ct from Fayetteville TO GOldsboro,
S3.25-tickets on sale from August
Sth to 18th; good until August 29th.
Colored Fair at New Berne: ROun d
trip ticket from Fayetteville to
Goldsboro, $2.0O--tickets on sale
from 22rd TO 9th instant; good un-
til 3lst instant"
If the above IS not a mistake, it
is pretty bold discrimination. Why
charge 1926 for one round trip ticket
from Fayetteville to Goldsboro, and
only $500 for another ticket for the
same distance? Let the Railroad
Commissioners give this their atten-
ton.

The Wilmington Messenger in al,
editorial a few days since says:
"In no editorial has the Messen-
ger declared for the free coinage of
silver, or against the Sub-Treasury
scheme"
The people in these parts will not
seriously question the first statemen,
of the above, but the latter state.
ment will probably rather shOck
their memory. They may not be
able to remember just how, wher
or where, but they have a pretty
clear impression that the editor O.
the Messenger has afforded himself
much amusement and pleasure by
trying to make the Sub-Treasury
scheme butt Of ridicule. If thi:
impression does the Messenger any
injustice, then THE CAUCASIAN viii
gladly assist to dispel it.

We don't think the Democratic part,
is in any great danger, but we cam
speak for the "good fellows" wh'
have dared to trifie with the people
just for policy's sake. The Demo
cratic party may redress the people
wrongs, but when it makes square

PROF. AND MRS. McIVER AT
MORGANTON.

We make the following extracts
from letter from Prof. III. III. Will
liams of the University TO the State
Chronicle:
MoRGANToN, n. g., Aug. IL

the'work of Prof. and Mrs. McIver
at MorgantOu this week that VEN
ture to give an account of IL to the
readers Of fHE CHRONICLE. fhe
motto of Prof. McIver seems to be :
All mental training should result in
giving the power to think, and the
power tn express thought. This is
the standard by which he grades use
fulness of a study. Hebrings in rO-
tation to this standard all the sub
jects taugh, in Public Schools and
shows theil value.
i do not know two more earnest
workers than these. Heal ing them
this week has given me a lai ger hope
for better things in North Carolina
The people listened; the lecturers
spoke straight from the shoulder
they spoke with that soul-power that
belongs to the person who is absorb
cd in mission.
When l hear speakers abandoning
the dreary, death worn, word, rhe.
ioric, and coming down to facts, fig
| ures, principles, and intellectual hon
esty, and when | see bankers, busi'
ness men, and coatless farmers fill
ing the courthouse to hear this hon
est talk, can but rejoice and indulge
deeper courage. If Burke county
is not better for the work OF Prof
and Mrs. McIver this week, then
have missed the spirit OF this peo
pie ; and il the teachers in this cOun
try do not better work the coming
year, then Burke ought to ge. a new
set Of teachers. If such work has
been done in each county this year
| do not see how we can escape 81
