KILLED FIRST BEAR.
Spent Sunday in Camp Telling Stories
and Discussing Bears.

Shut in his little cabin the Penny
ranch in Colorado, President Roosevelt
spent all of Sunday reading, telling
stories, recounting hunting experiences
and laughing and joking with the trap
pers and hunters. Outside rain and snow
came down in binding sheets.
Early Saturday morning the storm be-
gan, and late last night it was still rag
ing. For an hour 1t would rain in tor
rents, then cold wind would bring a
furry of snow that would settle into
veritable blizzard, only to change In an
hour or so into a cold driZzling rain.
There was no hunting. The weather
made 1t impossible even had the Presi-
dent departed from his rule not to par
ticipate in sports on the Sabbath. There
was great rejoicing over the hunt of Sat-
urday. Probably for the first time in the
history of this district a hunting party

said last night "Of course. we knew
there was bear in the neighborhood. but
the dogs struck the scent without even
darting around. The really wonderful
thing. though. is that we finally got the
bear after the chase he gave US. We fol-
lowed his trail four miles before we land
ed him. This fellow had a good start on
us and he went like the wind after we
struck his trail He could go faster than

him was by the delay of Spot and the
other dogs forced on him.

Origination of Congress.

The originator of the peace congress,
which resulted in The Hague convention,
was the Gar of Russia, who spoke noble
words for peace. When he seized Man
churia and was marching to Korea, should
Japan have made no resistance? At this
very moment we are listening for the sounds
Of the greatest and most terrible and the
boodiest naval battle the world has ever
known"
Mr.. Chandler introduced Mrs. Sewall, who
proposed a parliament to prevent as well
advise against She put her ideas
into the following words:
I'm the international council each ma
uonal council has one vote. The small ma
ton counts as much as the largest. Why
should nations not come together without
reference to strength, area, or population?
We. in the council, work for nothing if we
cannot become acquainted. because it is the
first condition of mutual respect. Why
cannot nations do SO? We wish no ag
gressive controversy but the creation of a
spirit of worldwide humanity that will put
away the need of swords. AS Jews Cen
tiles, Catholics, Protestants. Mohammedans
Buddhists or as nations. we forsake moth
ing of our loyalty or nationality but that
common ground upon which we may all
agree as essential to the welfare of hui

PEACE THE SUBJECT
CONFERENCE AT ALL SOULS UNI
TARTAN CHURCH.
Former Senator w. E. Chandler Pre-
sides-Several Addresses
Made

A peace conference held yesterday
afternoon at All Souls Unitarian Church
under the auspices of the Washington
branch of the Green Acre Fellowship Asso-
citation, of which Rev. U. G. B. Pierce. the
pastor of the church, is president. The
speakers were former Senator William E.
Chandler, Mrs. May Wright Sewall and Miss
Sarah J. Farmer Mr. Chandler presided.
Rev. Amanda Deyo offered prayer, and the
benediction was said by Albert S. Dulin.
The views of Mr.. Chandler in regard to
international peace as expressed at this
meeting are not as optimistic as might have
been expected. He is a member of the
Spanish claims commission, created as re-
suit of war. and looks upon these things
with different eye. He thought such an
organization the Green Acre Fellowship
Association did well to call a peace confer
ence and to endeavor to lessen the horrors
of war or abolish war altogether. But he
does not think the larger object will be OBJ
tanned. He refused to answer the question:,
propounded by himself Can war be made
to cease and peace reign everywhere, and at
all times be made to prevail against all the
causes which may press forward to embroil
the nations in bloody strife?
Can a method of universal arbitration be
devised" he continued, by which all wars
can be avoided? Should the American col

their independence, or, declaring II, could
they have secured it without war with Great
Britain? When the southern states seeded
should they have been allowed to go in
peace? When they fired on Fort Sumter
should there have been no reply? Could the
freedom of 100000 American slaves have
been obtained within hundreds of years
without war? Could the United States have
made the Cubans free from Spanish rule
without war? Ought they to have remained
in bondage till Spain voluntarily gave them
liberty?

Senator, Hale of Maine is renominated
by the Maine Republicans for fifth
term in the United States Senate, and
las a nomination is equivalent to an
election) New England's reputation for
keeping her able men in public Office,
once they get. in, is maintained. In re-
gard to length of service in the Senate
New England senators practically lead
the country. Senator Hale entered the
Senate in 1851, four days ahead of Sem
ator Frye, his colleague. Senators AL
drieh of Rhode Island and HawIey Of
Connecticut entered in the same year.
As Senator Hawley will not be returned
to the Senate, and likewise Senator
Cockrell of Missouri, whose first term
began in 1875. Senators Morgan of Al
ALBANIA and Allison of Iowa will be the
only members of the senate to have
served longer in the one body of Con-
gress than the New England members.

term of service from 1879. With the

THE ExALTATIoN OF MAssAcHU-

SETS.
Gov. Elect Douglas has not been
idle in respect of the ornamental
features Of his administration, what
ever base detractors may predict with
reference to other and less engaging
aspects. For our part, we fully be-
lieve that he will honor himself and
benefit the Commonwealth during his
term of office. He has the faculty of
organization; he is man of clear, pro-
gressive views; he keeps at heart the
welfare of his fellow-citizens. Success
full in private life, the head of a vast in
dustrial machine, trusted and respected
by all, William L. Douglas may be
counted on for an honest and enlight-
ened public service and for every good
achievement within his power and op-
portunity. This is for the future, how
ever, and just now we are dealing with
the present. We are dealing, in fact,
with matters of luxury and decoration,
of grace and pageantry--with a domain
in which the new governor viii have
entire liberty of action and where no
enyious legislature can restrict his
scheme.
We refer, of course, to the military
aspects Of the democratic interlude in
Massachusetts. II Governor Douglas.

and the splendor of august ceremonial
If he cannot exalt Massachusetts, in re-
spect of craftsmanship, he can at least
robe, it in spectacular magnificence and
impart to it a strut compared with
which the strut of Solomon in all his
glory would look like three illicit dimes.

more credit to those University men

There was opposition on the part of
the Primitive Baptist folk. 1t was
not their concern, but the great
"split" was just beginning. This re-
actionist party was just starting. Its
leader was Joshua Lawrence, a strong
yet very ignorant man. In former
times he had co-operated with the or
gained work, but he was convinced
that a Convention smacked too much
of Roman councils. On the day tina
the vote was to be taken he placed
on the desk of every member an ar
ticle signed "Clodhopper." which gave
reasons why the Wake Forest charter
should not be granted. This paper is
lost and the reasoning unknown.

secure a charter proceeded at once.

Hard Fight For Charter.
The bill to grant the charter was in
troduced December 4th by VIM. II.
Battle, of Franklin county, afterwards
better known as Judge Battle and
teacher of law at Chapel Hill. Though
not Baptist himself he came from "a
strong Baptist family. At the same
time another bill was introduced to
charter the Greensborough Academy
and Manual Labor School. The bill
passed on it's first reading. On Decem-
Der 18th it came up for it's second
reading. Edmonston, of Haywood,
who was opposed to the charter, called
for the yeas and nays. The result
was: IS yeas, "a nays. The Green's
boro school had about the same vote.
On December 18th the bill came up
for It's third reading. Benjamin Set
tie, of Rockingham, who was opposed
to the charter moved that the bill be
postponed indefinitely, but this was
negatived by 90 to 80, and so the
charter passed the House of Com
mons.
In the Senate when the bill came up
for it's final passage there were just
20 votes for it and 20 against it. The

if a man worked like a beast his
thoughts would be low; but Johh

The policy of the denomination in the
charter of Wake Forest was such as
to drive from it men whose outlook
was broad. The plain truth is that
up to 1880 the Baptists in north Car

men were going to other States or
joining other denominations.

In 1913, when the Baptist Trien-
NAL Convention of the United States
was organized, there was just one in
stitution in the United States under
Baptist control, and that was Brown
University. r. /. Judson and Rice
went to Burmah as missionaries and
there became Baptists. Rice returned
to America to secure support for JUL
son, from the Baptists. Rice gave
a great impulse to missionary labors
and to education also, and out of this
desire came the TrienEial Convention
the national organization of American
Baptists. Its first president was DR..
Richard Furman. of South Carolina
In his address he emphasized the need
of educational institutions. Rice did
likewise. Rice realized that the mis-
sionary needed education. Especially
did Rice see the need of an institution
centrally located. He fully endorsed
the views of Washington that the
most suitable place for such an insti-
tuition was Washington City. In 1922
Columbian College was begun. Ten
years from the formation of this Con-
vention ten institutions had been
founded, but not one of them South
Of Washington. Within the next ten
years other colleges came into exis-
fence-RichmonG. Mercer. Furman
and Wake Forest.
Rice, the Flaming Evangelist.
Undoubtedly it was through Luther
Rice that light broke out in these
places. He was the financial agent OF
this Convention and Columbian Col
lege, in Washington. He travelled
troughout the Southern States and
had many friends in North Carolina
For years he attended meetings, asso-
Citations and conferences in this State,
and in 1885 died I'm South Carolina.
He was delighted when he heard that
Wake Forest had begun and wrote to
a Northern paper: "They have kim
died a light in the Wake Forest Insti-
tute that will soon shed its rays over
the whole State.'' For 25 years Rice
was the flaming evangel of education
and missions. However, the imme-
date impulse that led TO the founding
of Baptist schools in the South came
through the State Conventions. These
State Conventions were engaged in
educating young ministers before the
colleges were founded The young
ministers they We're forced to send to
schools not under their control. Out
of this need for place to educate
young ministers came Richmond. The
men who led in these movements
were ministers and Furman and Mer-
Ger are both named after ministers.
Yet an intelligent editor once declared
that the ministry of the South had
herded | the people beside stag
nant pools of theology. He was un-
mindful of the fact that line of col
leges from Washington to the Rio
Grande stood as monument to their
educational labors.
But Wake Forest was never a theo-
logical school. Before the first ses-
sion opened it was determined to
make it a general school. During the
first term, when the enrolment reach

years there had been party among
the Baptist people that advocated the
improvement of the ministry. One of
the aims of the meeting of correspon-
dence founded in 1910 was the educa-
ton Of the ministry. For this very
reason it met with opposition. The
Benevolent Society of 1929 had this
purpose in view and made collections
for education. At it's annual meeting
in 1880 the fund amounted to $35. In
this same year the Benevolent Society
became the Baptist State Convention,
whose constitution declares that one
of its aims is the Education of young
men called of God and approved by
their churches" In the circular letter
sent throughout the State and written
by Thomas Meredith. an urgent
plea is made for a stronger ministry.
Mercer declared that our strong
young men were drawn to other States
and that Baptists in other States were
more prosperous. Meredith made a

not a Baptist, but his family was. He
cast the deciding vote that gave the
institution a chance to live. The char
ter was not for a college, not for the
right to confer degrees, not to author
lie religious body to. hold property,
but simply to give body of trustees
the right to hold property and to. run
school with no exemption from tax
alton.
Other schools were granted charters
at the same time without all this OPP
position. The Episcopal school in
Raleigh received its charter. high
schools were chartered in different
parts of the State, and yet it remain
ed for Wake Forest Institute-the only
one that has lived through the years
to secure a meagre charter grudgingly
given.
Source of Opposition.

sition. The charge has been made
