AT THE HOTELS.


Willard, last night but the voice Of the
people will be needed al the next ma
tionaI conventions. irrespective Of what
the party machine may have up It's
sleeve.
If Chairman Hitchcock. Of the Repub-
lican National Committee. has already
decided who will be the next occupant
OF the White House, and II the people
demand Roosevelt. the delegates at the
next Republican convention viii disre-
gard the machine. II they refuse 20 DO
this, it will mean that the Republican
candidate VIII lose.
quite a change has come over the
people so far as the nomination OF can
didates for public Offices IS concerned.
and a number Of State legislatures have
changed their election laws in such a
manner that the voters choice in the Sc
lection Of candidates viii now also be
heard. besides that Of the delegates.
] do not think for one moment that
Roosevelt is a candidate for another term
In the Executive Mansion. but I don't
see how he could refuse 70 serve If the
voters Of his party demanded that he
serve the country again"
Consul James Stutsman arrived at the
National Hotel from Bolivia last night.
Percy J. Kenny. Of Liverpool. who is
interested IN the educational problem and
touring this country making studies along
those lines. in discussing British fashion
able schools. said that few OF the makers
OF the British empire received their edu-
cation or training at any fashionable
public school
The majority Of these men did very
well without their aid" said DR.. Kenny.
Not one Of the eminent naval officers OF
the past entered their portals. These all
Joined the service when young direct from
private teachers. Not one Of The great
captains Of industry or founders OF our
modern wealth went 20 a rich public
school. Our most eminent lawyers. fnar-
ciers. journalists. engineers, and artists
were never az these schools OF al similar
institutions
Lord Roberts was eight months az
Elton, when he was fourteen years old,
and then went 20 Sandhurst. where he
got a prize ln German.
Lord Wolseley was never at an Eng
hsh public school He went 20 private
schools in Dublin. where he studied sur
veying. carpentry, and military history.
He entered the army at the age OF nine
teen.
Lord Miner was born and received his
first ~ch0oling IN the domain OF the
Kaiser, so it can hardly be denied that
he was 10 a certain extent made IN Ger
many Lord Kitchener when young left
Ireland 20 go abroad The boy. after
some further travel. came 70 London.
where he entered the Royal Military
Academy at Woolw.ch
Judging from the history for the past
century, IL seems very clear that the
worst possible chance a struggling parent
or a professional man can give his boy
IS 70 send him 10 an expensive public
school He Will ind 20 his cost IN due
time that devotion 10 cricket and fashion
able companions viii give his son neither
competence nor rerown."
James W. Scott. Thomas Scott. Ha--
vey /. Stockey. and J. II Strobe. from
the DanvI.e Soldiers Home, registered
al The ST James yesterday. They brought
20 Washington four insane patients from
that institution.
Justus Eek an electrical engineer OF
London. who bears the distinctions OF
NJ A, ". l. F. E. and is a representa-
tive OF the Union Electric Company. Ltd,
London. was seen at the Raleigh yesJer-
day. Mr. Eek IS visiting this country
''t0 see what he car learn IN the line ~
electrical power application"
We have nothing ike the electric sta
ton in Chicago. which has a generating
and distributing power of $4,000 k.I1-
watts II is the greatest establishment OF
the kind have seen so far. Il certainly
surpasses anything Of the sort in Eng
land. Electric science and the practical
use Of electrical power IN America occu-
pies high place.
1T seems 20 me that there is a ire
meud0us power lost by the water rap.ds
and rivers and running canals not being
utilized for the generation Of electrical
power America is blessed with so many
opportunities in that respect that Il IS
surprising with the practical mind Of the
American and the search for profitable
investment this field IS practically unex-
plotted. The return from the investment
would be enormous. just.fying the ex-
pertinent in every respect.
Business I'm England IS good" con
tinued Mr.. Eek. Il cannot say what s0rr
Of King The successor OF the late mon
arch IS soing to be. He is practically
unknown 20 the people. His name.
George. is not exactly what might bs
called an suspicious one
Mr.. Eek said that the Liberal rartv is
in the hands and under the leadership OF
such clever men that he thought they
would be able 10 overcome all difficulties.
and that no new election would he ncccs-
sary 10 stralghten out the parliamentary
tangle
Relations between the intelligent pso-
pie Of England and Germany are friendly:
II Is only the lower English classes that
entertain feelings Of luminosity. This is
engendered 10 very great extent by the
agitauons of the cheap newspapers and
by politicians who try 10 appear patriotic
10 their constituents"
