IHADLEY IN BERLIN
YALE PRESIDENT ACKNOWL-
EDGES DEBT TO GERMANY.

BERLIN, October 3O-This was an
American day at the Berlin University,
the occasion being the lectures of Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale and Prof. Schofield
of Harvard. who began their exchange
professorship work by dividing an hour
between them. Crown Prince Frederick
William and a distinguished gathering of
persons in public life and university pro-
fessors occupied chairs near the lecturers,
while the great hall of the university was
filled with students. The crown prince
represented Emperor William, who was
confined to his room in the palace with
cold, against which he is taking unusual
precautions because he is desrous of be-
ing in good condition for his approa ching
visit to England. Ambassador Tower,
with the rector of the university, Dr.
Stumpf, met the crown prince at the
gate leading into the university grounds
and walked with him to the Aula.
DR.. Stumpf, after pleasant references to
President Roosevelt, the American schol-
arShips and the age and character of Har-
ward and Yale universities, introduced
Drs. Hadley and Schofield, the students
shuff1ing their feet prolongedly, which is
the German academic method of applause.
Debt to German Culture.
iNoidSit SpCdhlIS III 1tli HAL,
alluded to the greatness of the debt of
Americans to German culture and mis-
own personal obliga tions to the great pro-
fessors of Berlin University, under whom
he sat thirty years ago. He then sketched
briefly the subject of his lecture. which
was the differences in the economic sys-
TENS of Germany and the United States.
Prof Schofield, who is required by the
conditions of the PROFESSIONAL exchange
between the universities of Harvard and
Berlin to lecture in English, said that he
would first speak in German, and out
lined his purpose, which was to show the
relationship between English literature of
the middle ages and contemporaneous
continental literature. The second half
of Prof. Schofield's discourse was deliv-
cred In English.
The crown prince afterward talked with
both the American educators and asked
that Mrs. Hadley and Mrs. Schofeld be
presented to him. after which the prince
converSed with them amiably.
Carl Schurz, son of the late Carl SchurZ
of New York. also was presented to the
crown prince.
Ambassador Tower later introduced
President Hadley to Prince Won Buelow
at the imperial chancellors palace.

Gastonia Gazette.
What is the chief mission of a
North Carolina newspaper" was the
question which the Raleigh News and
Observer put to q large number of
the newspaper editors of the State
last week. Many replies were received
and a number OF these were publish
ed. Several of them were good but
to our way of thinking Editor Frank
lin of the Apex journal hit the nail
on the head when he made the an.
swer: ''To preach gospel optimism" "
To this he might have added the
words "and of work" by way ofmak-
ing his definition a little bit more
comprehensive. Work breeds optim-
ism; idleness breeds pessimism. The
man who works steadily and earnest
ly usually looks on the brighter side
OF life while the soreheads who sit
around on goodsboxes and expend
their time and energy in manufaetur-
ing shavings aud emitting gas from
their mouths constitute largely the
band OF pessimists who criticise the
workers and would have one believe
that the country is going to the dem
milton bow-wows at lightning
speed. Every editor in North Caro-
lima should be an optimist and should
preach optimism to his readers.

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE In TIME
OF PEACE.

Peace hath her victories no less
than war, and it also hath its trag-
e1ies more fearful than war some
times. The casualties that have oc-
CURED on our battleships in time OF
peace have outnumbered the fatali-
ties aboard the floating fighters of
some nations in time of actual con-
fict with other powers. The explo-
sion. on the battleship Georgia, by
which ten men were killed, and fif.
teen men terribly injured, recalls the
record of other catastrophes in our
Navy. On January 1s, 1908, a
charge of powder exploded in an
eight-inch gun on the Massachusetts,
killing nine enlisted men. April 8,
1908, twelve-inch gun on the Iowa
exploded during target practice, kill
ing three enlisted men and wounding
four others. April 13, 1904, terri
BILE accident occurred on the Missouri,
when by ''fiareback" an explosion
was caused which resulted in the
death of five officers and twenty-six
enlisted men. April 13. 1905, an ex'
plosion in one of the six-inch turrets
of the Kearsarge severely wounded
three men.

court has not at this time rendered
it's decision.
To sum all up: The State has in
every instance obeyed all orders le-
gally made against it by the Federal
court, but the railroads have refused
wilfully to recognize a single order
of Judgment OF the State court, treats
it as nullity, refuses to appeal from
its judgments, though this is the or
derly law, and tries to carry every
case from it to the Federal tribunal.
In the legal way the Corporation
Commission and private persons will
obey Judge Pritchard's decree that
affects them, and try their cases be-
fore him, carrying the same, if ag-
grieved, before the highest court.
The railroads will not, if they can
helpit, allow the State courts, though
having jurisdiction, to try them;
they will not appeal if aggrieved,
through the usual channels, first to
the State and then to the United
States Supreme court, but insist on
only being tried by one tribunal,
to-wit, the Federal courts
ask all fair-minded people, wheth-
er it is the railroads or the State that
are 'trying to hamper or interfere
with the orderly course OF judicial
procedure. ! cannot agree with you
or the railroad attorneys who said
States rights ended in 1865. The
State has rights and dare to main
tain them against the encroach-
ments of Federal court at the re-
quest of a railroad.
The State will do nothing rash or
revolutionary, but will maintain it's
dignity by using every lawful means
to enforce its laws
In every way possible that is hon
orable and in accord with States
rights, | am willing to meet the rail-
roads in trying to settle this unfor-
tunate complication. l told certain
of their officials before they COM
menced this suit, that If they would
wait and test this law and should
find it too burdensome. / would con-
vene the legislature and ask that the
wrongs be remedied. l have offered,
if they would sell tickets under the
law, to advise the stopping of all in.
dictments and hasten the trial oI
the suit affecting the subject matter
but they will do nothing, attempt nc
settlement, only insist on the State
allowing them to ignore our laws
and our courts, and be tried in 9
court of their own choosing, and
then when We refuse say the State il
hampering justice and denying theil
rights.
Passenger travle for the last ter
years has greatly increased, and YET
the rates have never been offered BY
the railroads. The entire cost o
operation cannot overcome inereas
ing in travel, at least it was only JUS
to give the act of a sovereign State {
fair trial before the courts. 1repeat
the State will commit no unlawful ol
unseemly act, but to the utmost o
my ability l will sustain our courts
acting legally in executing their pro
cess against all offenders.

From the Great Lakes to North
Carolina.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
In the Richmond Times Dispatch
we find a highly interesting story
about the ultimate plans of Thomas
F. Ryan and associates with regard
to their great South & Western Rail
way (Seaboard Air Line system) en-
terprise. 1t appears that the Ryan
syndicate, after connecting this
splendidly built road with the Sea-
board Air Line in North Carolina,
contemplates an extension from the
present northern terminus in Russell
county, Va, to the Ohio river. con-
Meeting there with the Detroit, Tole-
do & IrontOn Railway, which the
Ryan interests control, for a through
route to the Great Lakes A million
acre coal field in Russell and Dickin-
son counties, Virginia, has very re-
Gently been purchased by the same
powerful interests. 1t is intended to
make the Seaboard Air Line the
greatest coal road in America and
at the same time supply a short line
between the Great Lakes and tide
water. These extensive developments
are expected to ward Off any danger
OF receivership for the Seaboard,
whose earnings have fallen OFF so much
in the past six months that receiver
ship rumors have been persistent.
All of this is good news. Mr.. Ryan
and his associates have the means of
putting through big plans without
very much hindraAce on account OF
tight money, and we trust that they
will do so in this instance This
whole section, Charlotte especially,
may expect marked benefit. If Viii
mington's 30-foot channel were only
assured our satisfaction would be
complete.

Where Injustice is Done.
Wilmington Messenger.

wilmington Messenger.
The report has come to us of one
or more instances in which persons
have boarded trains in this State
since the time for the new passenger
rate to 90 into effect and refused to
pay for their passage more than the
new rate. We do not wish to believe
that the men who do this are fully
aware of the consequences of their
acts. We prefer to think that they
had not realized that in refusing to
pay the regular price for the tickets
which the conductors are required to
charge they were taking just SO much
money out of the pockets of the con-
ductors. Any conductor who through
kindness refuses to put man OF his
train because the latter will not pay
the three and a quarter cents mile
but accepts the two and q quarter
rate has to make up the difference OF
q cent mile for the distance travel
ed by the person refusing to pay the
old rate The man who refuses to
pay does not make anything out OF
the railroad, but he simply cuts down
the salary OF the conductor to that
amount-and we have got mighty
poor opinion of any man who will
do such a thing. We agree entirely
with the Raleigh Times in the follow
ing it has to say on this subject:
"We do not believe that self-re-
specting citizens of North Carolina
who have any regard for their fellow
men will try to intimidate or other
wise persuade railroad conductors
into accepting cash fares on the
trains at the rate of two and a quar-
ter cents per mile, when they know
that the conductors themselves will
have to make up the difference OF
one cent a mile out OF their own
pockets. To take a mean advantage
of one of it's employees is very poor
way to hit a corporation, we think,
and we are confident that the major
ity of the Anglo-Saxon- people OF
North Carolina will agree with US. ]"

The Mecklenburg Hotel.

Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of the famous Mecklenburg
Hotel and mineral waters in this
humanity as is found in Mecklenburg
Lithia and Mecklenburg Chloride
Calcium waters was remote from US
perhaps their merit would be more
fully recognized and appreciated.
But they are near at hand, easy OF
access and do not cost a great deal
to acquire and we are too prone to
overlook their virtues. That is a
peculiar phase of human nature but
it is true nevertheless Nothing is
SO good as that which comes from a
distance But more and more is the
fact impressing itself upon our people
that while distance may lend en-
chantnent to the view it has nothing
to do with adding to or taking from
the virtues of an article that pos
sesses real merit, and Mecklenburg
mineral waters are growing more in
popular favor and public demand as
they are better known. And to make
them still better known extra in
ducements are being offered to health
and pleasure seekers at the Mecklen-
burg Hotel and Sanitarium. Very
low rates have been made as follows:
First and second floors, without
bath, $14OO to $3.50 a week, ac-
cording to size of room and number
of occupants. First and second
floors, with baths, $3.50 to SOL 90,
according to size of rooms and num-
Der OF occupants. Third floor, with
baths, $500 to $3.50, according
to size of room and number of occu-
pants. Third floor. without baths,
$3.50 to $500, according to size
of room and number of occupants.
Club House Annex, with baths, $3.50
to $500 week. Barnett Hotel
Annex, without baths, $1,000 to
$1,000 week.
The Mecklenburg Hotel is one OF
the finest health and pleasure resorts
in the South. Cuisine and service
unsurpassed.
