Former President Makes Ad=
dress at Princeton.
NOTABLES ARE PRESENT
Educators From This Country and
Abroad Attend Ceremonies in Con-
nection With the Dedication of

Occupant of White House.

Princetan. n. j., Oct. 2S.-Tribute
TO the memory of the late President
Grover Cleveland. made by former
President Taft, marked the dedica.
ton of Princeton university's gradu-
ate college and the Grover Cleveland
memorial tower. The exercises we're
conducted in the presence of a dis
tinguished company of learned men
from Europe and America.
Gifts amounting to $2,s50,000 for
the erection and endowment of the
college enabled Princeton to realize
an idea conceived twenty years ago
the housing of graduate study in a
body.

ment association, which received gifts

Grover Cleveland; representatives oil
practically all OF the universities and
colleges In the United States and
Canada; hundreds of alumni and
delegates from English, German and
French universities.

of the Cleveland memorial tower was
made by Richard v. Lindabury, pres
ident of the Cleveland Memorial as
ISOLATION, who said the funds for the
| memorial were contributed by men
of all parties and in all walks and
conditions of life.
Former President Taft's estimate
of Grover Cleveland, as expressed IL
his oration, was as follows;
"Mr Cleveland was not great law
yer; he was not a great economist
but he was a great president and Q
great man, and he was these because
of the strong mind, clear intelligence
and wide knowledge of affairs. HI
Lad the character honesty, courage
and sense of public duty which en-
| abled him to meet great and critica
issues without regard to persona
consequences"

London, Oct 23.-The London news

says
There is evidently a grave misun

be removed. There are elements OF

TOWN BUSINESS MANAGER.

"In this day and generation" says
the News and Observer, sit is being
more and more recognized that a city
and a town is a business affair in
which people contribute by taxes to
the upkeep and improvement. And
this idea has brought to pass the COM
mission form Of government, and the
business managers for towns"
"In the past the people have seen
their moneys frittered away in this
way and that, on this scheme and the
other, till they have become tired Of
a condition In which no could be
found who vas responsible. 1t was
this that brought about the recogni-
ton Of the need for business manage
ment, and throughout the country this
is the demand which is being an
swered.
Speaking Of the matter of business
managers for towns the New Bern
Journal states the case most admir-
ably as 1t says: "Hendersonville and
several other towns in this and other
States are trying out the plan Of nan
aging municipal affairs through the
medium Of a business manager, A
real business manager Is what every
sort Of governmsnt needs. But Is In
the case OF everything else there are
business managers and business man
ayers. Some of them can deliver the
goods and some cannot. In any sys-
tenn that can be devised much depends
on the man. One Of the greatest
needs In connection with municipal
affairs is for the public to take a live
~ interets in them. If officials are
left to do As they please they r pref
ty apt to please to be careless and
sometimes corrupt"

Bryan Expects Senate to Ratify
Treaties Already Signed Despite
Opposition.
Washington, D. c., (Special.)-
Viscount Chinda, the japanese
ambassador, has advised Secretary
Bryan that Japan is willing to re-
new for another period of 5 years
her arbitration treaty with the
United States, which expires by
limitation August "a.
Secretary Bryan, making the an
nouncement today, said he expect
ed the Senate would ratify the new
arbitration treaties already signed
with Great Britain and other coun-
tries despite the opposition against
them. No date for signing the
Japanese renewal has been deter
mined.
The senatorial opposition origi-
nally was voted by Senator Cham
berlain, who insisted that in re-
|rewing a treaty with Great Britain
specific expressions should be
made to remove the Panama canal
tolls controversy from the field of
arbitration. The question of ar
bitrating with Japan the issue Of
the California alien land law also
has been a subject of discussion
among senators opposed to renew
ing that arbitration treaty. Presi-
dent Wilson has had frequent con-
ferences over the arbitration trea-
ties with senator's.

The old factional row between the
Democratic leaders of Madison coun-
ty is showing itself in the opposition
to J. R. Swami for postmaster at
Marshall. 1t is a pity that Democrats
permit themselves to become excited
over local differences that foment
strife in the party. So far as the pub
lie is advised. no charges have been
filed rejecting upon the ability, Or
integrity Of Mr.. Swami and unless
something more than the fact that he
has been at loggerheads with some OF
the party leaders in Madison county
IL brought against him he will doubt
less win outH These local factional
rows should not be recognized by
Democratic leaders, either State, or
National. No party can attract re-
'cruits-or hold it's own-by the en-
enlargement of factional differences.
1t was just that kind of thing that de-
stroyed the Republican party last
year. Democrats, beware.

that Hendersonville's business mana

an idea that the Observer has George

"Our George" as being well known
in Charlotte. The capable business
manager for this city is a Henderson

The Legislative Committee which is
considering the matter of the sale Of
the States interest in the Atlantic
and Norh Carolina Railroad met in
Morehead City on Tuesday Of this
week. AT this writing the committees
conclusion had not been announced.
This paper adheres to the opinion it
expressed when the matter came up
during the sitting of the Legislature.
By virtue of the long lease, the road
is practically sold, anyway, and the
State needs the money. Candidly, we
believe the offer of Mr.. Duncan should
be accepted and hope the committee
will recommend that course.
