length of rope leading off from each

Well, what has been moving in this
country is that the principles about
which we used to deliver orations
have been taken out of the public as
sembly and put into the overalls of
everyday business. If thing sounds
true in the United States Senate
when Daniel Webster says it, it
ought to work true thousand miles

the splendid thing is that it shows

the country back to Washington it is
somehow not held in as high respect
as once it was when it came from
Washington to the country.
But that which is coming back from
the. country to the Government is the
salvation of the latter, if it will only
heed. The curse of the whole bust

various guesses which others of their
class have made about things. And
doubtless they have good influence
upon the minds of young men and
women, reminding them by the very
presence and the activities and at
mosphere of the university that there
is that side of life But to trust any,
thing entirely to the universities
would be to invite failure.
The things that are most vital to
the world now are not yet in the
books. They are being lived by men
who are in the front line of advance.
In the course of a decade or so they
may find their way into books and
be taught to young men who are
coming on. Young men ought to
know what is in the books, because
it enables them to start abreast of
their own recent times; but to accept
the books as the highwater mark of
discovery and practice is to show one
self rather innocent of the facts of
life. Even in industry, the shop con-
stitutes a better book for the book
trained man than does the classroom,
because the classroom deals with
what was done few years ago-ex-
cept, of course (there are always ex-
ceptions), where teachers who are
themselves ahead of the books are
living in the living things not yet
standardized into textbook copy.
So that it is not, as some say, AIDE
scent to lower plane of thought
when it is proposed that public bust
ness listen to private business for
some suggestions. There is class of
men and women who deplore the fact
that the "smoke chimney of the fac
tory" is beginning to smudge our
public life. Of course they don't
know what they are saying. They

NOTED LEADER OF
DEMOCRATS DIES
Nv United Press Leased Wire

WILSON, n. G., May 31.-Rep-
resentative Claude Kitchin, noted
democratic leader, died in the hos
pital here early today.
Kitchin, democratic floor leader
in the house in the last congress,
had been i'll for a long time OF
stomach trouble.
Kitchin' s death removes one of
the most picturesque and influential
figures in the south. He was born
near Scotland Neck, Halifax county,
North Carolina, March "a, 1869.
Kitchin never held public office
before his election to the fifty-sev-
enth congress as a democrat from
the Second North Carolina district,
in November 1900, but once having
donned the harness, he never left it.
He was successfully reelected to
every congress after the 9th and
at the time of his death was mem
bcr-eIcet of the 68th congress, the
l2th consecutive congress his con
stituents returned him to and the
18th house member in length of
service with % years.
Kitchin worked himself up
through the democratic ranks in the
house to the Craftsmanship of the
powerful ways and means commit
tee. When Champ Clark was speak
er, during the Gath and Goth con
gress, Kitchin became majority floor
leader.
