One Cent Sale as
Usual Big Success

The Mountain City Drug store was
crowded to the doors this mornings
while dozens of baskets were filled
with articles purchased for one cent
Most of tina various purchases consist
ed of well known commodities such
as toothpaste writing paper, olive,
chocolate, drugs and even coffee and
Jam. During the morning hours there
was scarcely room to move in the
store and clerks were kept busy wrap
ping purchases or piling them in tall
bags or baskets. The olives promi'
nently placed in the window last ev'
ening at two BOTTLES for Al cents did
not last more than two hours. Othel
good things went very quickly. There
were still many bargains, however, a
noon today

Baron Kurt Won Lersner, head of the German peace
delegation has notified the Peace commission that Ger
many will not sign the protocol presented to her by the
Allies and the Associated Press representative in Berlin
says there has been marked reaction in Germany re-
garing the peace since the failure Of the United States
senate to rafy the treaty became known over there
This is bit of opportunism the part of the Germans
for which they are quite likely to pay in the form of
new humilations In spite Of what Senator Knox had
to say about the arshness toward Germany of the peace
terms there disposition this country to feel that
the Germans are entitled to better than they have
been given and way doubtless will be found to make
that clear to them.

Two more congressional investiga-

Wonder how it would do for both
houses Of congress to appoint COM

thing with free hand?
Might get something done in that
way.

one OF the troubles in Mexico was

SIS, 1884, 743 Is New Total
In Harvard Fund Drive
New York, With $2,278,O0O,
Still Leads Boston, While Rest
of Country Is Lagging

Returns made last night in the. Har-
ward endowment fund drive for $15,-
25o.ooo show a total of s5,794,743.
New York still leads Boston with
$2,278,000 Boston's total is s2,236,683.
Figures for other parts of the country
represent s1,2S0,O6O.
Because there are fully $4,000 Har-
ward alumni outside Of New York and
Boston, it is pointed out at the head
quarters Of the fund here, the present
figure for the rest of the country is
disproportionate to the number of liv-
ing graduates, which is $4,000. Such
a condition, it is said, is notable in the
cases Of Connecticut, Maryland, Illi-
nois,, Ohio and Pennsylvania, where a
large number Of alumni have yet to
subscribe.
Western New York, led by Evan Hol-
lister, has obtained total of $4,000
from third of its graduates; Hawaii
with only sixty-two Harvard men, has
cabled that half of the men have sub
scribed for total of 800 China

Continental Europe have yet to report

Industrial Battle
New Assault Upon
Liberty, Says Root
AS Serious as That of Ger
man Militarism, He As
serts in Address at Colgate
Centennial Celebration
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
HAMILTON, N. Y, Oct. 11.-In the
struggle between capital and labor CIV
lllzation Is facing another assault as
serious as that made upon it by Ger
man militar:sm, ex-senator Elihu Root
said to-day, speaking at the celebra-
tlon of the centennial of Colgate Uni
versity.
The honorary degree of Doctor Of
Laws was conferred upon Mr.. Root and
the degree of Doctor of Science upon
Professor James W. Taylor, for fifty
years teacher at Colgate. DR.. John
Huston Finley, New York State Com
missioner Of Education, made the prin-
cipal address.
"The world is facing new problems
owing to scientific advancement started
in universities because each new ad-
vance brings new problem" said Mr..
Root. German autocracy. armed with
the fruits of university research, was
able to assault civilization with power
never before known.
Now the struggle between capital
and labor threatens to undermine the
freedom of the individual and the con-
dition of universal democracy which
We had already established
If this country is governed either
oy the power OF plutocracy or of labor
our liberty is gone. The government
of the whole people by all the people
must be maintained so that oppor-
tunity will remain for American youth
to utilize the advantages of university
training and the advancement of this
country and civilization may proceed -
The present problem Of the high
cost of living, which Governor Smith
asked him to investigate, is paralleled I'd
by the Biblical story of Jobs privation
declared Mr.. Finley. The developme ent
of education is the only high road
toward salvation, he declared, praisina
the steps taken in the last year by the
State of New York toward providing
better educational facilities and better
salaries for teachers.
To-day's programme closed with a
football game between Colgate and
Brown, an exhibition flight by aviators
over the college campus and an alumni
dance. The centennial will close to-
morrow with an address by the Rev
Daniel Hunt Glare.
