New Haven. Conn. --4'he one hun

icographer, was generally observed by
the educational institutions through
out the state the other day. Yale uni
versity, with which he was closely al
though not officially connected. hon.
ored him by appropriate classroom ex'
ercises and Hartford, his home when
a boy. held exercises OF simple ma
ture, largely In the public schools.
Webster gave the schoolboy Of
America his dictionary. his grammar
and his spelling book. and. while his
fame might rest imperishabiy on any
one OF the three achievements, the
triple accomplishment establishes his
title as the greatest American edu-
Gator. His dictionary. the first since
that Of DR.. Johnson, nearly a century
before, unified the English language
in America and made II impossible
FOR sections Of this country to fall into
dialect. His spelling book fixed firm
ly the pronunciation and spelling OF
common words. and his grammar has
remained standard work for cen
fury.
Born in 1858, in Hartford, Of fam
lily distinguished in colonial history,
Webster was sent. at the age OF IA
years. by his father. farmer, to the
parish clergyman TO prepare for Yale.

.dred dollars. Bills for cement work
amounted to over seven hundred dol
lars. and the labor employed by the
city in grading the street adjacent
to the concrete bridge near the H. F..

Did the Governor Say This?
Sta tesyille Landmark.

Statesyille Landmark,
Gov. Glenn wants it understood,
with reference to the reports that he
would not run for the Senate, that
he has never said that he would not
be a candidate. In speaking on the
subject recently, he said:
Senator Overman, himself, asked
ME this direct question, Are you go
ing to run against me? and | told
him I had not made up my mind
whether | would do so or not, but
that he could rest assured ii | did
decide to run he would be the very
first man to be told of it"
The Governor of course says he is
now devoting his whole thought and
effort to the prohibition cause. An
other statement sent out from Raj
eigh quotes him:
"He (the Governor) said he would,
however, gladly pledge himself not
to seek the United States Senator
ship in opposition to Mr.. Overman if
lie and his friends would come to him
and pledge to support the present
prohibition campaign and assure
10000 majority for State prohibi-
ton"
If the Governor said that-and we
hope he didn't-it is pure demagogy,
because it leaves the impression that
Senator Overman and his friends
are either opposed to prohibition or
are lukeWarm in the cause.

The Beef Trust Squeezes Some
More.

Norfolk Virginan-Pilot.
The Beef Trust has chosen a queer
time for raising prices. There is a
general tendency in the industrial
world to a reduction of price and the
scaling OF wages, and yet, simultane-
Ously, the Trust demands from the
retail dealers an advance OF 30 per
cent on beef in the carcas and 80 per
cent on hogs within the past ten days.
Nothing in known conditions iusti-
fies the exaction. The peopleare less
able to pay and the cost of the pro-
duct has not advanced materially, ii
at all. 1t is a clear case in With Il
combination exercises monopoly in
restraint OF trade and practices en-
tortion on the consumer without
limit. The only remedy is to break
the throttle of monopoly by Withhold
ing the inordinate rate OF protection
SO Unfortunately abused. But when
the question is the practical one of
relieving the community from ii
grinding oppression. the politicians,
from the President down, are deaf,
drunk and blind to all appeal. The
injustice of the tariff must be pre-
served, though the heavens fall.

A Blow to Prohibition.

Randleman Central North Caroiinian.
Perhaps the hardest blow which
State prohibition has received, WAS
dealt in the United States Senate
when the subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee on the judiciary, de-
clared unconstitutional all bills in
tended to remove Federal barriers
against states exercising control of
their police powers, for the regul;,-
ton OF the liquor traffic. When it is
recalled that the subcommittee is
composed OF some of the ablest con-
stitutional lawyers of the country,
the report of the committee carries
much significance, and points unmis
takably to the defeat of legislation
intended to promote State prohibi-
ton. Indeed the government would
place itself in an illogical position to
restrict the sale OF an article which it
licenses and from which it receives a
portion of it's support.

An Explanation But No Apology.
New Bern Journal.

New Bern Journal.
A big campaign is on in North
Carolina. 1t is unlike now, and will
probably become more unlike any
previous campaign in this State, for
in this, a candidates foes may be pos
sibly those of his own household.
But this is not the subject of this
editorial. With such a probable mix
up, there must be many candidates
OF various minds and many views.
These gentlemen and their friends will
want publicity, the real thing, which
comes only through the newspapers.
They must announce their candidacy,
and reinforce it by printed articles.
There are views of citizens which
simply cry for newspaper space, and
of course no newspaper could be deaf
and dumb to such appeals. These
various articles may have more or
less value, to those who want them
published. To the Journal, they all
have spot cash value, which the
candidate and seeker after newspaper
space can easily find out about, by
inquiry. This paper is kindly dis
posed to every candidate, or would
be candidate, but when space is asked
for, please remember thatit is simply
a business proposition. There is no
feeling one way or another. The
Journal asks for no cards of candi-
dates, nor runs after space articles
favoring this fad or against that
politicalism. If those who wish mat
ter published, and there's no need to
insert the qualifying clause, it must
be impersonal and decent, the ques-
ton can be quickly determined by
call at the office. But just as well
remember that it is to be paid for, if
political, or in any way trenches up
on the issues that are before the peo-
pie. The newspaper business, today,
is the costliest to maintain. in its
history. Every inch of space means
dollars where decade ago it meant
dimes. Even without this thought
OF expense, the space proposition is
purely business one. The newspaper
is vehicle, to ride means TRANSPORTER
tionto be paid, according to position
and room occupied. The day of free
bus is passed away. The age ofsome-
thing for nothing means fraud. The
sign is not one of subsidy, because
newspaper receives pay for it's space.
Rather that the newspaper is enjoying
its own freedom.
