| wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and
hills.
When all at once saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils:
Beside the lake beneath the trees,
Flnttering and dancing In the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way.
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin Of bay;
Ten thousand saw AZ a glance.
Tossing their heads in sprightly
dance.
The waves beside them danced; but
they
outdld the sparkling waves in
glee.
A poet could not but be gay.
In such jocund company:
| gazed-and gazed--but little
thought
What wealth the show to me had
brought
For oft. when on my couch lie
Ia vacant or in pensive mood.
They fash upon the inward eye
Which is the bliss Of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the dasfodiIs.

REFORM OF FRATERNITIES.

The report comes from Trinity col
lege that scholarship is to be made a
prerequisite of admittance to menu
bership in the coilege fraternities in
all of the colleges throughout the
land. If this is done one of the
greatest hindraices to creditable
scholarship will be eliminated.
Somehow a large majority of col
lege students have the idea that in
tcllectual ability is not measured by
scholarship or examination grades.
This idea has been persistently fos-
tered by the fraternities. BY a large
number OF the members of the fra
ternities a student who a,tains high
rank in his classes is considered a
plodding fogy and his intellectually
Is discredited. So persistently have
the social benefits to be derived from
college life been emphasized by the
fraternities that some OF the college
presidents have been at loss to de-
termine whether the institutions over
which they preside are colleges for
the dissemination of knowledge or
elaborate society organizations.
Scholarship is a test of the intel
of student. 1t is the only
test This has been proven time and
again by actual records of students
after they enter into active life The
student who reaches the highest sue
cess as scholar reaches the highest
success in actual life. and the sooner
the students learn this the better.

Atlanta Journal.
Crime is lue product OF disease,
said DR.. Woods Hutchinson last night
in an address at public health con-
ference in Baltimore. Like most cpl
grams this Is to be taken with q
pinch Of salt. In essence. however.
il is true. We may, indeed, go a step
further and say that disease is a
crime.
Not until comparatively recent
years was the individual held ac-
countable to Law for the community's
health or the community accountable
for the individuals health. But To-
day the city. the state and, to an
extent. the nation. hold their citizens
responsible in this important particu-
lar. The man who violates sani-
tary ordinance Is subject TO punish
ment along with him who steals or
disturbs the peace.
Such laws were impossible. and, in
fact, inconceivable. SO long as GER
tain diseases we're considered the
fated lot Of mankind. But so soon
as science demonstrated that these
evils were subject TO control. or even
to prevention. then their existence
took on a moral aspect. The new
knowledge eniEiled new duties and
the tolerance OF unhealthful condi-
lions became within itself crime,
The significant point is that the num-
Der that may be brought within the
province OF public responsibility are
continually increasing The city
must now answer for many feyefs
and infections which only a fey
decades ago were regarded inevitable
and the individual who does not join
with the community in preventing
such ills is rightly considered the
community's foe.
There will doubtless come a time
when We shall recognize the literal
truth Of DIR. Hutchinson's dictum
that crime Is a product OF disease. II
not in the form OF physical maladies.
certainly IN the form OF social Ills
that can be ended. The filth Of
slums. unsanitary environments for
labor. the neglect OF youthful mis-
creants. the failure Of society to leud
helping hand 70 the man who Is
down and out. the lack Of institu-
tons TO care for defective children,
the lack Of laws and courts that take
cognizance OF Individual needs7all
these are 50 many phases o. dis1ase
that are continually breeding crime.
And just as our advancing knowledge
and qulckcnIng social conscience
have taught Us that disease may Of
ten amount 70 crime so will they
convince Us by and By that crime is
7 the offspring OF disease.

JUDGE ROBERT BAXTER BOONE.

1t was gratifying to the many
friends Of the aboye-named gentleman
to hear Of his appointment to the su-
preme court bench Of the state OF Ok
laaona- Mr.. Boone lived and prac-
iced law here for many years. He
removed to Oklahoma only a few
Years ago. and his promotion to the
bench Of the state is ample proof that
be has sustained himself there as a
lawyer. No more successful lawyer
has ever lived in Durham than Mr..
boone. As a man he had many warm
friends; as a lawyer he Has an an
.agcnist worthy Of any man'g steel;
as an advocate be had no superior.
We trust and believe that Judge
Bones services Oh the bench viii
add to his reputation Al 4 lawyer. and
reflect credit and honor upon his
stafe.

THE BIC BLOW UP TODAY.
THIS AFTERNOON THE TIME FOR
DYNAMITE EXHIBIT.

| Today is the day for the dynamite
farming exhibit at the county farm
A special representative Of the Dr
Pont Powder company will be at the
farm to demonstrate the wonderful
things that can be done with eSplc.
siyes to relieve the monotony OF farm
labor.
All OF the farmers of the county
are invited to attend this demonstra-
ton. A number of post card invita-
tions have been sent out BY Chair
man l.. b. Markham, of the board OF
county commissioners. but IL was Of
course impossible to reach all OF the
farmers. and all who have not re-
ceived postcards are invited any way.
The use OF explosives for breaking
land promises 10 revolutionIze the
methods OF cultivation now In vogue
and no farmer can afford to miss the
Demonstration.
On the same day there will also be
a seed corn exhibit at the county
farm. An expert from the depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington

Young MEN AROUSED.

The best proof of the dawn of a
more progressive era for Durham is
the interest that the young men are
displaying in the future welfare OF the
city. Built upon the most conserva-
tive plan. the city has a foundation
upon which there are unlimited pos
sibilities for the extension of COM
mercial and industrial growth. and
with the awakening OF that progress
siye spirit that only young men can
Infuse into the iife-blood OF any town.
Durham promises 10 lead all North
Carolina cities at the end of the next
decade.
Organized effort can accomplish
more for any town than individual
energy. ard the EIks are to be com
mended for the plans that they have
launched. Their efforts should re
ceiye the hearty endorsement; and CO.
operation Of every citizen in Durham.
The time is ripe 70 take active steps
for the future development OF this
city; ard NOW that he FIRST steps have
been taken every man should put his
shoulder to the wheel and make this
movement one Of the strongest con-
structiye movements that has ever
been inaugurated here.

designed to bring our friends back
70 the south and to secure their CO.
operation in advertising the south: to
reduce the problem OF immigration
to terms OF individual action, and to
ally all southern interests inSa COM
mon cause--getting more people. is
good. The plan of it is good enough
ITO be initiated by the western rail-
roads. Read the following dispatch
which is now appearing in southern
newspapers;
San Jose, Cal, March 1.-San
Jose today celebrated invitation day
by mailing the first lot of 4,00D, 900
invitations which are to be sent by
Calfornians to friends and acqnain-
tances throughout the east, inviting
them to locate in this state. The
movement was started by the South
ern Pacific railway and is designed
to attract permanent settlers rather
than tourists. Each county in Cali
fornia is to send out its quota Of in
vitations, which are in the form OF
attractive cards bearing views of the
different localities
You can see the above in many
southern newspapers. What are you
going to do about it? There are more
than 100000 southern people in
the west. Can we not send out as
many invitations as California? As
they say in California, let US come
alive"
