At the meeting of Concord Pres.
bytery at Lenoir last week Rev.
Edgar Tufts. president of the
Lees.McRa Institute at Banner
Elk, reported that the school
buildings, owned by the Presby-
terry, are valued at $35 900, but
that funds ate badly needed to
further equip the school for larger
and better service, as the demands
made upon it are increasing every
year. A friend of the school has
offered to give $4,000 to establish
the nigh school department, pro-
vided q similar amount can be
raised from other sources.
A report of the executive com.
mittee of the board of trustees of
Statesville Female College showed
that $1,000 of the $1,000 promised
by the Presbytery for the lifting
of the $4,000 debt had been rails.

that this will be substituted for

ecutive trained to his task We have
our school superintendent who makes
an exalted profession Of his business
but We elect everybody about town
who Is a good fellow to become our
mayor We give him more public bus
mess to transact than passes thru the
books of a first class manufacturing
corporation. We keep him for two
years and then fire him without cause
or perhaps hire him for one more
term with a moral certainty that he
will be fred the next time An election
comes around unless he has sense
enough to resign. His pride and his
sense Of public service is all that we
have to induce him to strive to do his
best but before the average man has
been bufetted around in present day
politics very long the tngratitude OF
people in their politics soon jars GU Of
him large part OF his enthusiasm for
public service.
A few cities are now coming to the
German system OF employing a general
manager for municipal business. 1t
was endorsed at the recent convention
of municipalities in Canada and may
yet sweep the country az the commits
sion reform has done. One thing at a
time and step by step Is the sure course
to progress.

DlocLETAN'S WAY.

A Major Hemphill over in the east
and who has a turn for ancient history
has discovered that the trusts and the
combinations to raise prices and hold
them steady and complaints Of the high
cost Of living are no new thing. A lit
tie over 1s centuries ago the Emper-
or Dieocletan got busy along the
lines Of lower cost OF living.
His proclamation reads somewhat
like one of our Theodores
pronunciaamen,os against predatory
wealth and the like. He found that
Z" the sale Of wares which are exchanged
in the market, or dealt with IN the
daily business Of the cities. an exorof'
tant tendency in prices has spread to
such an extent that the unbridled de-
sire Of plundering Is held in check
neither by abundance nor by seasons OF
plenty"
Diocletan seems to have been some
trustbuster himself. He also seems TO
have had the Roman congress or what
may have stood for it, buffaloed worse
than Wilson has the present democra-
cy. Diocletan got busy at the begin
ming. Instead of a minimum wage he
made a schedule OF maximum prices.
Wheat went at 33h cents a bushel.
rye at IS cents, fresh pork at 7h was
the highest the butcher might go I'M
less he took a chance with Dicletan
and he hadn't much chance there.
Beef and mutton were firm at a little
less than five cents, ham held strong
at IL and eggs stopped right when they
reached the point Of 81 cents. Butter
Supposedly fine creamery was mark
cd up to az cents.
Those prices stood in Diocletan's
time. Nobody hired a lawyer to hunt
loop holes In the law. There was but
one penalty-death. While the motion
for a new trial was being made the ex-
ecutioners were busy at their business
and by the time the Judge came to con-
slider the demand It wasn't any use
| to the defendant who have gone entire
iy out Of his jurisdiction and was max
Ing pleadings before another tribunal.
Diocletan fixed wages also. A brick
layer or a carpenter might charge Els
day. II he boosted the price beyond
that limit the chances were that he
wouldn't live long enough to get in his
bill the second time Unskilled labor
went at a little less than II cents
and tailors were the princes Of labor
at 26 cents a day.
There's one thing worth noticing
about Diocletan's schedules. Beef may
be little higher now than it was in
his time but make a note Of the wage
scale.

catch men who have been annoyed and
