THE MEANING OF WEALTH A Long Island hermit, 94 years of age, was found dead the other day in his cottage. He died in rags and filth, although he had 25 good suits of clothes hanging about the walls. The old man probably got great satisfaction out of contemplating all those suits and knowing that he would never want for good clothes. If he had read Poor Richard’s Al manac, by Ben Franklin, he would have seen this: “Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.” Misers usually forget that money is only a means to an end. They aever know how, to enjoy it. WELCOME P. C. BOYS All Clinton is happy to again join in welcoming the Presbyterian Col lege student body. Our community appreciates the value and the im portance of this splendid institution, and for its fine student body, w^ hold the highest esteem. $o, in all sincer ity we can say that we are glad to see the P. C. boys back and we are hoping that the next nine months they are to spend in our city will be of profit to them, and at the same time pleasant and enjoyable. Clinton is proud to have the college located here and counts it a pleasure and a privilege to know and associate with the young men who compose its student body. In this spirit, we extend a most cor dial welcome to the P. C. boys. We want you to know that you are among friends. W’e want you to realize that there is no other place where you tould feel quite sp welcome as you tan always feel right here in Clin ton. This is a funny world.

Leaders of Nations Acclaim Modest Woman in League Assembly. Geneva, Sept. 7.—!‘It is magnifi cent,” Mrs. Woodrow Wilson said to personal friends tonight after spend ing the entire dsy closely following the opening day deliberations of the league of nations assembly. She left the league auditorium deep ly affected by the day’s experience. She was particularly impressed by what Dr. Eduard Benes, foreign min ister of Czecho-Slovakia, told her of a practical attribute of the league of nations, which is not generally known. "Do you realize,” he said to Mrs. Wilson, “that by spending four weeks each year at Geneva I see every foreign minister in Europe? Like other ministers I am able to treat in this neutral atmosphere many ques tions existing between us .which are amplified later into important agreesconversations wit The league gf nations found ‘ Some men’s interest in literature is shown by the eagerness with which they read the market quotations.

HEARST DENIES HE BOSSES HYLAN In Reply To Governor Smith Publisher Pictures Mayor As Inspiration To OUR COLLEGE GROWS It is indeed gratifying to all friends •f the Presbyterian College to know that it opened a new session yester day with the largest enrollment in its bistory. The matriculation in the freshman class broke all records of previous years, 120 young men having signed up for the first year’s work. Every indication'points to an abspici- •us year and the outlook cannot be described other than rosy and promis ing. ' t A comparison of. the progress the institution has made under the presi dency of Dr. D. M. Douglas, is indeed interesting and reveals a growth that is phenominal and a source of satis- fhction and delight to all friends of the institution, especially Presbyter ians. In 1911 the college had assets »©f $150,000 against $1,000,000 today, •r an increase of 567 per cent. The apnual budget at that time stood at $10,600 against $70,000 today, an in crease of 600 per cent. There were 6 men then on the faculty against 20 today, an increase of 233 per' cent. The student body then totaled 87, while yesterday’s enrollment reached the record total of 300, an increase exceeding 200 per cent. These fig ures tell a story of growth and en couragement, and forecast still great er progress with the next few years. Xhe dormitories are now all filled, ma&trg it necessary in the immediate future to provide additional facilities to care for a continually increasing student body. The college is one of the commun ity’s biggest assets. Its growth has gone forth as the above figures indi cate, in leaps and bounds, and it now baa as attractive an appearance as any college in the state. The build- atuga are of modern and handsome tttpstxqction, and the student body is composed of f. fine bunch of young mem Clinton is largely influenced and benefitted by the activities of such an institution, and we should all feel a personal pride in it and the brij|ht future it now enjoys. All indications point to a still greater P* C. This assurance should be a cause of gratification to all - friends of the institution. American Boy. Nevr York, Sept. 7.—William Ran dolph Hearst, in a letter to The World published today, denied being Mayor Hylan’s boss, as charged by Governor Smith in primary campaign speeches. “In all the time I have known May or Hylan,” Mr. Hearst wrote, “I have never asked a favor of him nor has he asked one of me. I have never even discussed his political acts with him privately.” / He praised the mayor as a man of sterling character and genuine ability —“an inspiration to every poor Amer ican boy and rich one, too.” “Because of Hylan’s clean and capa ble administration,” Mr. Hearst con tinued, “some decency had reflected on the Democratic local organization and Tammany Hall had almost ceased to be a stench in the noatriU of the nation. But Tammany Hall does not mind b^ing a stench if there is profit in thq stench. It does not mind being regarded throughout the nation as a political mafia if the black hand means blackmail and blood money. “What do the lowbrows of Tam many Hall know onKe merits of a man who, like Lincoln, learned while lie labored, and through his study and high principles advanced to be an engineer, a lawyer, a judge and the chief executive of the greatest city in the nation and a conspicuous success in every sphere of his activity? “If the New York Democracy wants a man to run for prebident who would appeal to nearly every great element which constitutes American citizen ship they could nominate John F. Hy lan and elect him. “But, the New York city organiza tion does not want Hylan any more than they wanted Tilden nor any more than they wanted Cleveland.” Governor Smith in his first speech of the campaign accused Mayor Hy lan of “blind, obedient, subservience -to a super-boss.” The governor has referred directly to Mr. Hearst since then, and on Saturday night said the mayor was "groveling at the feet of tjie publisher. The beginning of the last full week of the campaign finds all candidates professing confidence. Mayor Hy lan’s supporters claim his renomina tion by more than 75,000, while Tam many leaders predict the nomination of State Senator Walker by at least 60,000. The three candidates foe the Republican nomination also make claims of success. ments. ed by your husband is a great time saver.” When Mrs. Wilson attended the op ening session of the assembly of the league today she was presented with a bouquet and an address on behalf of the citizens of Geneva b y“the Asso ciation for Geneva’s Interests,” which paid homage to “your never to be for gotten husband, the founder of the league of nations.” The address declared that GeneVa ever more will be grateful to Presi dent Wilson as it was Ijis choice as the seat of the league and assures his widow that Geneva will venerate his memory forever. The address concludes: “While respecting your modesty and reserve we nevertheless desire this day to join in this public testimony to the woman who was his faithful companion in the hours of anguish of the terrible World war and who associated herself wholeheartedly with his generous initiative.” The public, which occupied all avail able space in the two great galleries of the assembly hall, stood up trying to catch a glimpse of Mrs.Wilson when she» entered today. ( Wearing a black gown, she sat modestly in the rear of the auditorium beside her American friends. The public broke into loud applause when Premier Painleve in his opening address acknowledged her presece and paid a tribute to the greatness of her husband. When the assembly adjourned this afternoon the new president, Senator Raoul Dandruand, and several other statesmen paid her personel homage. Among these were Dr. Benes, Paul Hymans of r Belgium, former president of the assembly, and Lord Robert Ce cil. A delegation of the American Le gion, who attended today's session while on thorr way to Rome for a con gress of allied veterans, greeted her in the name of the former American combatants. Dr. Edwin Anderson Alderman, president ..of the University of Virgi nia, who delivered the Wilson mem orial address to congress, also paid his personal respects to Mrs. Wilson. Premier Painleve, Foreign Minister Briand and Louis Loucheur of the French delegation called on Mrs. Wil son this evening to present their re spects. M. Loucheur was particulaV- ly moved by the meeting as he knew President Wilson intimately during the peace conference negotiation in 1919, when he was a member of the French delegation. Mrs. Wilson received the French statesmen cordially. TO NAME NEW COMMITTEE School Enrollment ;—Shows An Increase The enrollment of the Clinton schools, white and colored, has shown an increase during the past week over the opening day. • Last week’s total has increased from 829 to .843. The enrollment of the two colored schools, Friendship and Bethel, has reached the mark of 421, making a total of 1264 pupils in all schools. (Continued from Page One) bringing pressure to bear upon Mr. McGowan,” said Mr. Baker. “When I saw my name connected with the case I felt that' I had Seen knifed by one of my beet friends.” Commissioner Baker stated that he discussed the proposed dismissal of Thomas with Mr. McGowan before the matter was put before the commis sion. He asserted that he knew noth ing against Thomas at the time and thought the chief commissioner’s ac tion was hasty. Mr. McGowan replied that Mr. Ba ker had "questioned his right to re move Thomas and wanted to refer the matter to the attorney general.” He added that "If a wrong impres sion had been created by any state ment I have made, I sincerely regret it." „ Commissioner He&rpn also told of itli the chief com missioner relative to the proposed dis missal of Thomas. Mr. Manning’s motion to abolish the investigating committee waa made immediately after the conclusion of Mr. Rhett’s talk. Little discussion , preceded the vote on the question. Mr. Hearon declared that-in his opinion an investigation o^ the commission and departments by members of the com mission would be open to criticism on all sides and the committee’s report would have little weight with the pub lic. The investigating committee has held a number o^meetings since its ci cation last month and its probe was underway.
