a Great Opportunity.

c. Alphonso Smith in Atlantic Educational
Journal.
The ability to ally ones self
with a great cause is test Of
great character. Such an al
lance demands a certain large
ness of view and unselfishness
of purpose that are not found in
little souls, but that are their
own abiding reward.
Every period of history has
it's own incentives, it's own prob
lens, and it's own opportunities
for service. But not for the
last twenty-five years has there
come to the men and women of
the South so fruitful an OppOr-
tunity for civic service on a large
scale as is offered by the new
movement in behalf of our com
mon schools. This movement
possesses every element of a
great cause, and, wide as is the
territory to be covered, this
movement has a depth greater
than it's width.
In the State of Louisiana no
campaign since the overthrow of
the lottery has SO enlisted and
united the men of light and lead
ing as the campaign that is now
being waged against ignorance
and inefticiency. = Not only from
teachers, preachers, business
men, lawyers, and legislators,
but from "the forgotten man"
himself. I have heard express

The venerable Senator PettuS
of Alabama, says the New York
Times, is one of the most genial
and popular. as we'll as one of
the most influential members of
the body to which he belongs
To an acq uaintance who was con-
graduating him upon the COM
pleteness with which he had
suppressed in debate bump
tiOus new Senator, the NestOr of
the Senate explained: We'll,
sub, it's like this. When a new
Senatah assuahs the Senate of
the United States that he knows
mo- about the pending question
than al the rest of them put
togethah, they believe him.
When he repeats that assn 'ance
next day about an entiahly diff
ferent question, theih acquies-
cence is tinged with incredulity.
When. on the thuhd day, he re-
news it with a thuhd question,
theih suspicious ali aroused.
And when, on the fo'th day he
says the same thing about a fo'th
question, unrelated to any of
othahs, they know he is a liah. -

to reconcile these two opinions.
Does not such a vast difference

possibility that these eminent

little bit off on the diagnosis!

capacities for which civil life
opens larger opportunities and
more attractive rewards. The
naval officer in question there
fore, has taken the only proper
course under the circumstances
that have been made public.
What we do not understand is
that an arrangement so OBJ
viously proper has not long ago
acquired the force and substance
of rule. The spectacle of
naval officers holding their
places in the list and pre-
sumably drawing their pay from
the public Treasury while engag-
ing in outside adventures
lecturing, exploiting all sorts OF
private enterprises, invading the
various fields of civil industry
this spectacle has long fed our
special wonder and appealed to
our disgust. In times past we
have had officers, now high in
emOlument and rank, managing
railroads, commanding vessels
in the merchant marine, recelV-
ing large salaries from manu-
featuring and commercial con-
Germs, and so on. To-day we
see Capt r. N. Pearry, U. ;. N,
Immersed in polar exploration,
the recipient of handsome re-
wards from sO-called scientific
societies, and by way of reaping
enormous profit and honor
should he succeed, even partially,
in his quest. The arrangement
has not the excuse of emergency.
There is nothing temporary
about it. Peary has been in
this business nearly if not quite
ten years-perhaps longer
throughout that period he has
held his place, drawn his pay,
received his promotion in due
course, and generally prOspered
as an officer of the navy without
having rendered to the govern
ment a day of real service.
1t is possible that some change
has been made in the immediate
past. but we have not heard of
it, and in any event our PROPOSE
ton applies to more years than
can be satisfactorily explained
to the country.
If Peary had ever dicovered
anything, or contributed even
the smallest item to the sum OF
useful human knowledge, the
fragrant improperly might be
cOndOned But he has done
nothing of the kind. The world
is no wiser because of him, and
so far as his absurd explorations
are concerned, he might as well
never have been born. Indeed.
the world would be the gamer, for
much money has been wasted
and many lives sacrificed in
Peary'S SOcalled explorations.
AS a matter of fact. the whole
incident is scandalOus from an
official point of view. 1t is bad
enough to have HObsOn careering
about the country, lecturing tC
sweet girl graduates, and posing
as the only competent authority
on 1.-THE navy He should be
made to do one thing or the other
and in either event put under
some restraint of modesty. But
this case of Peary's is so pre-
posterous at all points that il
cannot be compared with
HObsOn'S. We are unable tC
believe, indeed that with such {
man as Moody at the head OF
things it can last much
longer.

sions of awakened interest in the
common schools that are half
victories in themselves.
But the crusade is confined to
no one Southern State. 1t is
crusade that touches the great
Anglo Saxon ideals that are con-
served nowhere else in such
purity and Wilderness as in the
South. The thought has often
come to me of late that Maurice
Thompson did not live to see the
full import of his own words
when he spoke of
"a south whose gaze is cast

And whose fresh thoughts like cheerful

that there are more than
$4,000 white illiterates of voting

dwarf in interest all other sta
tistics. Let us at least keep
tab on the figures that express
the percentage of illiteracy

our own State. Let us watch
the decrease Of this percentage:

session a rumor of another cold wave

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The stock market
maintained it's undertone of strength to-
Gay, but the trading was extremely apa-
thetic outside spotty assortment of
stocks whose show of strength helped
10 sustain the general list. The money
IL arket was quiet but money rates were
stiff. Loans were left undisturbed how
ever, and no pressure of liquidation was
forced. The level of prices therefore was
not disturbed, except as the sympathetic
influence of the strong stocks helped to
harden the market. The Gould group was
the most comprehensive. Reports of 8
plan were current with color of official
sanction for an exchange of St. Louis
Southwestern preferred for a Missouri
Pacific bond. This was interpreted by q
speculative contingent as a forerunnei
of the long expected Gould consolidation
plan Missouri Pacific came into the
movement late in the day and took the
leadership of the whole market. The re-
turn to New York of President Gould
from tour of inspection served to
stimulate the movement. Rock Island
made much larger gain on small vol
ume OF dealings. The advance was based
upon the decision of the Iowa authorities
that the Rock Island reorganization plan
is not in contravention of the State law.
There was activity and strength in the
curb market for the Rock Island securi-
ties. The stocks of important independ-
cnt steel companies were strong as q
rule because of the reports of the eX
traordinary pressure of orders for ali
grades of iron and steel products and a
degree of activity in production which is
limited effectively by the available sup
ply of material. The freezing weather
in the Northwest was ignored and the
break in the corn and wheat market
helped to stiffen stocks. The COM
parative heaviness of some Of the South
orn Railways may have been due to the
persistent unfavorable reports from the
Gotten crop.
The money outlook continued the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in the financial
district There was no radical change in
the situation today An additional en-
gagement of half a million dollars, Aus
tralian gold, was announced to arrive
several weeks hence. The banks con-
tinued to lose to the Sub Treasury, not
withstanding the disbursement by that
institution on account of October govern
ment interest, the customs collections and
the deposits for transfer to the interior
serving to more than Offset the interest
payments. However, the loss 10 the Sub
Treasury since Friday has reached only
81 ,5S 900, compared with Si,725 600 for the
same time last week. While the drain is
thus reduced It will be seen that moth
ing of the needed regeneration of the

THEODORE H. PRICE
SAYS COTTON
GOING HIGHER.
Special to News and Observer

New York, Sept. 1S.-I strongly advise
holders and producers of cotton to disre-
gard reports which are being circulated
by those interested in depressing the
price of cotton, to the effect that | or
my friends are selling or contemplate
selling, Such reports are false, but even
were they true, the essential facts of the
situation would remain unaltered and
cotton will go higher. AS l have repeated
ly stated the market is bigger than any
one man or set of men. and the law Of
supply and demand will assert itself ir-
respective of individual efforts to check
or thwart it. Cotton is going very much
higher, because the crop is poor and APP
parently growing worse every day, while
the unexampled prosperity in America
and the universally of peace throughout
the world make for the largest consump
ton on record
