Buncombe From
a Big Man

Nobody whose opinion Is worth anything
doubts the very remarkable ability of Elhu
Root, senator from the State of New York
Mr.. Root Is very nearly the foremost lawyer IN
the United States. Certainly, the legal opinion
of Mr. Root will carry as much weight as that
Of any other lawyer in America.
Very recently boom has been started for
Mr.. Root the candidate of the Republican,
party for the presidency In 1915. 1t Is certain
that there is not In the ranks of the party
man of greater intellectually than this same
Elihu Root. OF course there may be in the
party some rose blushing of the multi
tude, but 1t has not been discovered. Mr.. Root
has had a wonderfully successful career at the
bar since Boss Tweed gave him a house and 10.
for influential efforts TO keep him out of Sing
Sing, way back yonder, forty years ago. Root
would make a good president, from the view
point of many people and interests.
The very first intimation of the "cheapness'
of MIR. Root conveyed In his declaration that
the pending Glass-Owen currency bill would
make fiat money OF course, he must have
been talking for political effect. 1t is impossi
BILE to believe that man OF Mr.. Roots INTEL
lectual capacity honestly could believe that
currency system, based as Mr.. Owen and Mr..
Glass propose, could be flat" currency In
the remotest sense of the word. The pending
measure. which will pass the senate next Sat-
urday. simply provides for currency issued
upon the assets OF the country. Every dollar of
circulation issued under the proposed law would
be based upon commercial paper. This form
of security is recognized by the banks as the
very best possible. And in addition to the in
trinsic value of such paper. IL Is to have behind
1t the endorsement of the local bank. Mr.. A
takes to the local bank his note for $1,000.
The cashier tells him he would be only too glad
to lend him the amount, but the bank has not
the money in its vaults However, the dis
count hoard, knowing that Mr.. AS paper is good,
indorses the note for $1,000 and sends 1t up to
the regional bank, proposed by the Glass owen
bill. The directors Of the regional bank do not
know Mr. A. but they know that his local bank
has Endorsed him as call right" Whereupon
the directors OF the regional bank direct tn Il
81 900 Of currency be issued, and this amount
is sent down TO the local bank to be loaned to
Mr. A. Mr.. A takes mp his note when II becomes
due, and the regional bank cancels the 81, 900
Of circulation authorized when the loan
authorized.
The utter absurdity of Mr.. Roots charge that
the Democratic party drought the pending
bill is trying to put "fatsm' upon the country
is bound to raise in the minds of those people
who have the fullest appreciation OF his keen
mentality suspicion that he is talking with the
object OF making a political issue. The unro
generate might say Mr.. RootNwas talking through
his hat.--Petersburg Index Appeal.

SITTING OUT THE CnAFT.

Washington and Lee university has hit upon
a rlan for raising the personnel Of its student
hoav which has promise Of proving eminently
successful. and which many other colleges could
follow 10 their advantage and to the advantage
Of the students enrolled. though It is to be won
dered what some youths would do for college
education should the plan he universally adopted.
As described in the university Netcs Letter TO
Arueans the plan is this;
"As soon as the fall session Of 1912 was
sr7oo:h}y under way the various state univ@r-
stiles and state departments Of instruction IN
the South were asked to send lists OF those
high schools IN each State which were OF the
first rank in the seventeen Southern and
Western states these eilt-edged schools, public
ana private, numbered between eco and zoe,
about th,rty-hve or forty To each State. Each
principal was then communicated with and
asked 10 name the first three men In his
graduating class. In estimating their relative
ranR he was requested to grade. first, character;
second. scholarship; third, social leadership;
fourth athletic prowess, and TO count these four
characteristics as OF equal weight IN determin-
ing who was the first, the second and tho third
man among the prospective graduates
osneh an inquiry from State university 70
public high schools in other States would have
been resented as highly presumptuous yet so
widely and clearly is the "All-southern" char
after If Washington ana Lee recognized that 4s9
schools responded, sending the names and adj
dresses Of 1214 Of these star" graduates OF
..Star" high schools from New Mexico 10 Mary
lara Among this unprecedented and incom-
ar@ NJ
hood the campaign for recruiting the student
bodq was vigorously carried on during the spring
aud summer Ell by August 25th it deemed
rseeessarv to begin refusing applicants daily
and ten days before the opening Of the session
,hose writing for catalogues and Information
were uot.aed that no room left IN thu
academic department"
The interesting feature of this report is that
little difficulty was experienced in getting stu
dents In fact, there were more applications
than could bo accepted, II speaks well for the
university and gives the people Of Virginia an
sdea Of the great popularity Of the school
throughout the south. II has sometimes been
said that washington and Lee is better known
IN the other Southern States than in Virginia,
but IL seems hardly possible that a college en-
dowea BIZ George Washington and directed by
Robert F. Lee could be unknown in any sec
4ion Of the native State of these two great men.
However. that the university is well known in
the South and IN the North and West well
is thoroughly demonstrated by the number of
answers received by President Smith to his
letters OF inquiry and by tho number of Re-
guests for permission to enter from the star

DR.. Bore thinks he has made great progress
toward the discovery of a serum for the cure

Perhaps hundreds of alleged cancer cures
have been put upon the market, but none has
really proven effective. Dr. Bore must expect
to encounter great deal Of skepticism. AT the

scientists of all nations constantly on the trail

its ravages.
