LAWYER KING
Sees Great Things For
Worcester.

" ~ WV w
"If Worcester only comes to suif1-
cient realization of what is to her best
advantage, she can become one Of the
greatest manufacturing centres of the
world. I see no reason why Worcester
may not monopolize 20 herself the
! whole eastern manufacture of locomo-
tives, stationary and traction, not to
mention the making of auto-trucks
/ and compressed air appliances"
Those are the views expressed last
evening by Lawyer Henry W. King,
who returned early in The evening from
! New York and Providence, where he
concluded the purchase of the Corliss

engine works, Mr.. King while in New

order to compress air, steam engines

engines in large enough numbers, it
will be necessary to manufacture them

stationary engines viii soon begin to
accumulate in large numbers and the
traction engines which are to carry

time also be manufactured here, so Mr..

curities While the expenditures left a
cash balance of 1921, 900. Yet here is
President Eliot making his annual plea
of poverty. The university, it seems. is
still hampered for funds, which if il
had, it would like to use in the erection
of four new buildings and upon general
equipments. But undoubtedly there will
be milionaires in the future as in the
past who will do what they can to keen
the wolf from the door of the univer-
sity. The fact is, of course, every step
in advance only leads to another one.
and there is no limit to progress save
lack of funds. Furthermore, a legacy
sometimes adds nothing to the revenue
Of the university and may actually in
crease the burden of expense. This has
been true both of funds devoted to the
erection of buildings and the establish
ment of new departments of the col
lese. The testator is not always the best
judge of what the institution needs. and
so it comes about that the most well
come gifts are those which are not re-
stricted to any specified purpose other
than the general maintenance Of the
university.

The French are not only pushing the
Panama canal in Washington. but are
rushing work at the isthmus. They
boast that the great cut" the most
formidable portion of the work, will be
completed in nine months, and their
agents in Washington are exerting
themselves to get our government to
abandon the Nicaraguan route and
take up with theirs. The fact that wa
ter has been let into the canal for 10
miles on the Atlantic side and miles
on the Pacific coast, has some force as
argument, but it is not conclusive. The
Panama people say $125, 600, 900 will be
needed to complete the big ditch but

OFF some good advice and sound sense,
which nOn-residents can read with pro-
hit, viz:
"The duty of paper to advocate
correct principles is paramount to any
debt Of gratitude it may owe"
at is wrong for any individual, or
and especially for a newspaper, TO
create local or class prejudice, even
when grounds for it may exist"
''rhe people of the town and county
are one people, bound together by the
closest ties of mutual interest, and of
dependence one upon the other. The
yeOmanry of the cOunty.are anxious on
all occasions TO show their respect and
good feeling toward the farming class,
and acknowledge their dependence
upon these sturdy producers. At the
same time the people of the country
should aud do have a laudable pride in
their county seat, the handsomest, most
progressive little city in this PORTION OF
the State, their metropolis. their mar
ket, their seat of justice, in whose ad-
