his biography into one paragraph. In Its ed
torial of Friday it says:
For generation after generation of stu
dents Horace Williams was more than a
teacher to a small group of students who
came fully within the range of his In
fluence. To those students he was a source
Of inspiration and was gratefully remem-
bered by them long after they left the
University. Through his students. his In
fluence spread far from the University
campus. where for decades he was an
institution within himself.
There is something infinitely touching and
grandly stimulating in the fact that in these
years Of sudden change and hurried revisions
life programs, one man can be faithful tc
trust, valiant in a service, for half a century
Here is a type of stability that ought to be
an inspiration for a tickle generation.

Alien Registration

According to preliminary estimates some
1850, 900 aliens were registered when the peri
I'd set aside for this purpose expired. Some
estimates put the figure as high as 5000, 900.
Taken by themselves, these statistics do not
mean much. The number of aliens is small
compared with the total population of this
country, and the percentage certainly is moth
ing to worry about. Even though the word
minority" has been given a new meaning
" the Nazis, this particular minority is not
70 be greatly feared in this country. We can
be confident that most aliens are law-abiding,
decent folk who will make good Americans.
1t happens, however, that before the regis
tration law went into effect the number of
aliens IN this country was estimated at $780,
600. There are, apparently, at least Is per
cent more than that. If the count shows $780,
600 Of them, the error will be close to As
per cent.
There must be something wrong
and it looks as though the discrepancy is the
result OF illegal entries. Our efforts to restrict
immigration seem to have fallen far short of
their purpose. Assuming that that is the case,
it is reasonable to conclude that our attempts
to select immigrants have also failed.
Officials at Washington nave assured aliens
who entered this country illegally that they
may expect lenient treatment if they have
behaved Themselves. This is a sensible at
titude to take, considering the realities Of the
situation. At the same time it is fair to insist
that a more effective effort be made to en-
force the immigration laws. They were not
made to be ignored.

The Music War

The justice department is to file suit afte1
the first of the year against the principals II
the controversy which has already closed thu
air waves to the 'best of our copyrighted
music" and promises, if unchecked, to worl
a hardship upon composers. 1t might ever
drive us back to the classics for radio en-
tertainment, and who, in heavens name
wants anything like that to happen?
Named in the proposed action are the Ameri.
can Society Of Composers, Authors and Pub
the National and the Columbia broad
casting companies, and Music. Inc, which
seems to include just about everybody whc
has anything to do with radio except tn
manufacturers Of instruments and entertain
ers. The action will be based on eight charges,
which are:
"1-Illegal pooling of most Of the de-
sirable copyright music available for radio
broadcasting in order to eliminate COM
petition and to m%onopolize the supply.
"2-1llegal discrimination against users
of copyright music.
"3-Illegal discrimination against COM
posers who are not members of ASCAP
or Broadcast Music, Inc.
e4-Withholding music from publication
in order to exact fees not permitted by
the copyright laws.
"5-Illegal price fixing.
'6-Restraining composers in their right
to bargin for the sale of their own music.
"7-Requiring users of music to pay for
tunes on programs in which no music is
played.
"8-Mutual boycotts by ASCAP and by
the broadcasting chains, through B. M.
l., in an attempt by each of these con-
flicting groups. to obtain for themselves
control over the supply of music by de-
priving the others of control, which boy
colts threaten to restrain and obstruct the
rendition over the radio of about 80 per
cent of the desirable modern copyright
music"
Thurman Arnold, the trust buster, is to be ir
charge of the prosecution and there is ne
reason to assume that the issue will be gentl,
dealt with. If the suit succeeds in pointins
the way to peace under the terms of which
all parties may have a square deal and al
prosper in proportion to their deserts. 1914
will register a good deed emitting it to eagle
rating in achievement.

Holiday Sales High

With Christmas now a happy memory ana
New Years just ahead, the time has arrived
for taking stock, not only Of what remains
unsold in stores but in goods moved during
the holiday buying season. 1t is quite as I'M
portant to know about sales made as antlcl-
pated. Merchants Of Wilmington, therefore,, are
busy with two-way inventories.
The inventory of stock on hand will be COM
pleted quickly. The other one, OF pushes done
and revenue in hand from Christmas sales,
is subject to lengthier survey. But long in ad-
vance of an accurate accounting, the city's
agree that this years trade was
the best in a decade and some even forecast
that when the figures are finally added up
they will show a greater total than for the
same period Of 1929.
It may prove, of course, that this forecast
is too optimistic. But even If this should be
so, the fact that sales were high enough to
lead any merchant to make the comparison is
a good omen. Wilmington did have a prosper
GUS holiday trade, whatever the total proves to
be. And that is something to shout about.
It is more than that. It is a token OF what
is to come. Next year is to be an exceptional
one for this city and all southeastern North
Carolina. The payrollsr that national defense
projects in the area will create will 60 far to
keep the level of merchandise sales close to
the holiday peak. This can mean but one thing,
to alert merchants. It means that expansion
must be undertaken on a large scale.
Fortunately there are several months avail
able for preparation. By utilizing this time
for remodeling and new construction, Whining
ton may be ready to meet every demand
created by the manning Of the Holly Ridge
base.

Man About Manhattan
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Dave FL
man is a man who made a lot of
money by digging up people with
interesting hobbies and persuading
them to tell their stories into a
microphone. When that idea had
been MIXED pretty dry he S a t
around until he dreamed up an
other idea. He calls it contact"
but instead of telling me about
it he gave me this rather graphic
illustration.
He told me the story of a young
man who tried to commit suicide
a couple of years ago. This chap
had decided to end his troubles
by jumping off the George Wash
ington bridge when he found him
self staring at a woman's purse
and a pair of gloves.
The next thing he knew he was
struggling with a girl who was
frantically trying to leap into the
Hudson River. He shouted for the
cops, and they got there fast.
There is always a squad of cops
at all Manhattan bridges and tun-
nels. They took the girl to a hospi-
tai, and he promptly forgot her.
He also discovered that he no long
