ONLY LIVE QUESTIONS DIsCCssEr

TO the Editor: notice the following
paragraph in the current issue of the
Caucasian:
We not with much pleasure that
the subject for debate at the forth
coming anniversary exercises of Wake
Forest College is the Government
Ownership Of Railroads We think it
no violation of truth TO say that econo-
mic subjects of vital Importance have
not had the attention that should
have been given them in higher insti-
buttons of learning. and that college
faculties are more familiar with dead
matters than live issues. This dis
cussion will be college innovation of
Il most radical kind, and we look for
the disclosure of some facts that will
be both interesting and startling to
students and faculty"
| call attention to this simply be-
cause it is such good example of
what the editor of the Caucasian is
always doing, namely, jumping ON to
subjects, of which he is entirely ig-
norant, with both feet and attempt
ing to explain or 10 condemn them.
When he says this discussion will
be q college innovation Of a most radi-
cal kind" he simply shows that he is
speaking at random, without having
given the subject moments lnyest-
CATION. TO my personal knowledge,
as well as to that Of any one else who
knows anything about the matter II
has been customary for years at Wake
Forest College, to discuss on such
occasions, in public, questions OF the
most vital current interest, such as
Henry Georges single land tax theory;
the desirability of anneXing Canada;
the different phases of the question OF
the aggregation of wealth, and its inn
pending dangers; the question OF
trusts and monopolies; indeed, the
very question, the discussion OF which
the editor expects TO bring to light so
many startling facts for the editication
and instruction of the faculty and stu
dents, was debated on the same ros-
trum in February, 1899, before the
alIvise Caucasian had emerged from
its rural quarters in Sampson county
Further. il is almost a weekly oc-
currence in the two debating societies
of the college to discuss such live
questions as free coinage of silver; am
nexation Of Hawaii; the admission of
Utah; the election of United states
Senators by direct vote of the people;
the different European questions, and
many Others which are before the peo-
pie as important questions of the day.
I have no doubt that all / have said
also applies to all other institutions OF
higher education in the State, ] know
it does 10 some Of them.
The trouble is that when the Caucas-
ian goes off haif-cocked in this manner
there are hundreds Of people in North
Carolina who do not know but that it
is telling the truth. and though this
is comparatively an insignificant ques-
ton it becomes important when the
same method is praticed in dealing
with other questions.

Railway Wreck.

Shortly after u O'clock noon on Sun
day last the train Of the U. P. flyer from
the south and mixed train No. 10t from
Anaconda met in a head end collision on
the Montana Union near Rocker. Neither
train was running at full speed but the
engines were badly wrecked and the for
ward end of the smoking car on the q.
P. train was telescoped by the rear end
of the baggage car. The engineers and
firemen of both trains jumped and es-
capped injury entirely. Ten were hurt,
however, but none fatally, including the
mail clerk, the baggage man, news agent
and the passengers who were sitting in
the forward end of the smoker. A. B.
Jones, the mail clerk, suffered broken
arm. Several were pinioned beneath
portions of the wreck, but were fortu-
nate1y but slightly shaken up.
The accident was due to some mistake
in the dispatcher's office at Butte, and
its results may be considered miraculous
under the circumstances.

Signet of Sovereignty
the highest physical and abstract concep-
tlon Of money had been attained.
Before the discovery Of money wealth
had been cumbersome and to transfer his
possessions the we'll endowed patriarch
OF old was compelled to drive his fl, cks
anu herds between distant fields, and to
bear upon slow-footed beasts of burden
his store of rudely wrought fabrics Of
Jorge and loom, through long and weary
journeys to far away marts. But with
the convenient concentration of treasure,
which the adoption of the metallic form
OF money afforded, new conditions at
once arose; intercourse became vastly
facilitated and commerce immeasurablv
extended and sjmplitied.
Beneficent, however, as were the effects
upon the intellectual growth of man
which followed the introduction of metal
money, with it a fierce and relentless
genii was called into life within the tenn
pie OF the human soul. This was not
new spirit that was born, only slumber-
ing one that was awakened by the
Fatal CLEAN of Gold.
With the possibility of carrying away
vast sums of wealth upon the person the
monster greed was aroused and so the
main theme of the worlds long chapter
OF grief and crime was opened upon the
page of history. Ownership of wealth
in coin became question Of the ability
to defend it against others, and human
life, when counted in the balance against
silver and gold, became as a trihe. Upon
pelf despotism enthroned itself and grad
ually about the person of the tyrant, shar-
ing in greater Or less degree his power, a
privileged class arose and to these for
many ages Of the world the common peo-
pie, the producers of the wealth and en-
titled to its primal ownership, bowed the
subject knee under conditions of pitiless
and despairing serfdom.
The Greeks and Romans in turn car
ried their conquering banners to the re-
motest parts of the ancient world and in
the spoils Of victory, the stores of silver
and gold, whether talisman from tenn
pies shrine or coin of the realm from
monarch's Golfer, were Invariably counted
OF greatest worth. Little by little with
the mighty
Growth of Rome
the worlds wealth in the precious met
ais became stored in the vaults of the an
cestors of the Caesars and the first great
problems in political economy and social
ethics were thrust upon the world. To
study the events that shaped themselves
out OF the conditions arising from the vast
accumulations of transportable wealth
which became centralized in Rome sew
eral centuries before the Christian era
and to follow the tragic story of the re-
lentless warfare waged by the privileged
few upon the industrial many through a
long night of despair and darkness be-
fore the tremulous beams of the day
star of modern freedom irradiated the
horizon Of hope and later burst with ra-
diant effulgence upon ransomed world,
is valuable at all times, but in the light of
the present struggle which finds more
than one prototype in history, the lessons
OF the past have particular profit and
significance.
