NEWSPAPERS OPINION
REAR ADMIRAL HoBsoN

In the month of June a6 years ago the name
Of Richmond Psats6h Hobson, young lieutenant IN
the United States navy, was on the front pages
of the newspapers of the world. With crew of
less than a dozen men he had taken the collier
Merrimack through the narrows of Santiago, Cuba,
regardless of the guns in the forts of Moro and
Coeapa, opened the seavalves and let the vessel
ssttle to the bottom IN an effort to botte-up the
feet of the Spanish Admiral Cervera which had
taken refuge in the harbor. g.

OF Cuba and the Philippines, where he vas en-:

NV BABY HAS COLO

That used to be quite the thing
to say-perhaps with a certain de-
gree of pride, as who should say,
"My baby can yell louder than
your babyw Nowadays the mother
who confesses that her baby has
collie admits one of two things,
when she says this. Either she has
not taken him to a doctor to find
out what's the matter with him;
or else her doctor has been inca
pable of finding out what the trou-
Bile is.
And what does the doctor usu-
ally find is the trouble? Overfeed-
ing? No; as a rule. quite the OPP
posite. In other words, what used
to be called "colic," and regard
ed as visitation of Providence
upon an inoffensive child, is now
usually found to be insufficient
feeding, with the consequent col
icky contractions of a stomach
and intestines without enough
food to act upon. Many a case of
so-called collie, has been cured
by the unintentional giving of an
other bottle of the food that was
supposedly disagreeing with the
baby!
But don't babies overeat? Not
if, they are given food that is any
where near what is suitable for
their age and size. They may be
fed too frequently, to be sure; but
a baby simply will not take too
much at a feeding. Leave it to
him to decide-and his "colic"
will be thing of the past.

CHURCH RELATED SCHOOLS

The religious forces in North Carolina have
taken and will continue to take great financial
burden off of the state in the matter of supporting
higher education. If the state had to assume the
operation Of the church-related schools and col
lekes, the tax load would be really something to
talk about.
Last week Wake Forest college celebrated its
one hundredth anniversary and in bringing greet
inss from the University of North Carolina Presi-
dent Frank Graham recalled the fight that was
made in the legislature to get charter for the
first reh-controlied institution for higher edu-
cation. The law makers felt that the State Uni
versitv. the first south of the Mason and Dixon
line, was ample to provide for all who needed the
higher education in that unenlightened day. Then
again many of the law makers were opposed to
higher education. They considered it the runation
of good men. Others felt that the church people
were paying taxes to support the state and that it
would be too burdensome to allow the churches to
make appeals for support.
| Higher education was in the balance. Had the
friends and founders of Wake Forest surrendered
the fight, it would have been years before the
denorninational colleges could have started.
! Glory to these pioneers in education who never
gave up. State University graduates in the gen.
eral assembly at That time lent their lnnuence 10

| the House casting the deciding vote to break the
tie on the floor. -~
Methodists, Presbyterians and other denomina-
tions followed with requests for charters and to-
day it is revealed in North Carolina that over 80
ehureh-related colleges and universities are open
in the state These institutions have place in
the life of the state. Many of the men and women
who have assumed leadership in the development
of our state and nation and have lived the fuller
life for Themselves and their communities, have
come front these chureh-related schools Sacrifices
have been made to be sure. but the sacrifices have
been well worth while and justified the investment

grand jury investigation Of War De-

The sudden revival of congressional
interest in allegations of irregularity

result of testimony by a long-sought
witness. Frank E. Speicher, tube
salesman, who could not be located
in time for questioning by the former
grand jury
Speicher's story of alleged lobby
ing activities by certain contract seek
ers was so startling, officials said, that
documentary proof of his assertions
was sought.
This proof. it is understood was
contained in what Chairman McSwain
described as the little black satchel''
produced by Speicher Monday night,
when two agents of the committee Wis
ited the apartment Of the tube sales
man at local hotel.
