mistake to preach that theological sub jeots which engross the student should not be imparted to lay minds. It is every mans right to know what are the prob lems that confront us. As James Russell Lowell said The universe of God is fire proof and it is safe to strike match The remedy for a little knowledge Is more knowledge What we need is not good men who have stopped growing but good men who constantly reaching out for a higher spiritual and intellectual deVel- opment.
 Schools and colleges perform two great services-they give us a broader com mand over natural forces and resources and they promote national unity. Of the worlds great inventions, thirteen were made in the nineteenth century while only seven were made in all the cen- turies preceding. The nineteenth century was a century of marvels and 1t was the spread of learning which made it so. From Beethoven to the modern organ was a period of greater advancement than from Davids harp to Beethoven's spinnet. Yet, are we improving men and women as fast? Is the man who operates the telegraph today better than the scribe who yielded a laborious stylus? In the language of Genesis, Let us make men,
 Unlfcation of National Life.
 "The unificatdon of national life is seen in the great summer schools at the Uni- versity of Chicago and elsewhere, where teachers from all parts of t&s country assemble to learn. It is als, dent in uniform text books, sinilarItyNn ideas regarding college management, the in- terchange of views and the intermingling of college professors from all parts of the country.
 '"The debt the nation owes its univer- sities is incalculable. Michigan owes much of her advancement to her great university, while California has had the same experience with her colleges It Is the duty of loyal Alabamians to cher ish the University of Alabama and do all in their power for It's upbuilding. It is also the duty of the state to provide literally for its maintenance.
 "Yet faith is to be desired above all things, for no true intellectual advance ment can be made without it. Progress does not raise men to the sldes-it is the sublime clements of human life. It is the uplift we get from noble aspirations from sympathetic insight to the heart and from a broad humanltarianism Robert Louis Stevenson with his books accom- plished more good than Thomas Steven son, his father, did with all the light houses which he built.
 Pleads for Higher Ideals.
 Dr, Faunce closed his address with an appeal to the students upon the threshold of a new life pleading for higher ideals and pointing out that there is a greater service than building earthly works To- day men are finding each other out and are getting closer together on the great basic truths, therefore it is the duty of young men and women to labor for that spiritual and intellectual unifcation which is the keynote of modern life.
 Dr. F'aunce impressed his hearers most favorably and was roundly congratulated on his address. He left last night for Lake MohonlS, N. Y.

These notables were selected from among the most conspicuous and effective
 in all walks of life. No eloquence of language can speak so forcefully of the value of higher education as those simple figures. The state, and l speak for it. allows it's people to be taxed for schools not primarily in the interest of its young men, but in the interest of itself. It holds rightly that an educated citizen, or one with a trained mind is of greater value than one untrained. That he more greatly values good government and can best contribute to It.
 Effective In Commercial Life.
 "The state does not forget, of course, that a trained mind Is most effective in commercial and industrial life. That in fact considering material matters, such a mind can best be depended on to build up fiourishng enterprises and add to the states tax digests He is the man to direct the work which shall coin the baser into finer metals ana prepare the blooming fields for the richer harVests. he is the man of enthusiasm who will wake up sleeping communities, he will love the state, respect her institutions, and her laws and direct her higher ideals.

 Respect for State Constitution.
 Ut. comes to me too that here should be nurtured respect for the constitution of the state and its statutes. Here, above all other places in Alabama, should be taught the sacredness of them and their right to be held as supreme authority. In your law department, l know the graduates have been taught an affection for the states laws. Let us determine today that this great seat of learning shall be the mother of an undying senti- ment whose graduates will teach in their respective communities d respect for all laws. human and divine That they stand wherever they go, for justice with out denial or delay; for the full penalty of the criminal statutes for those who assail their fellow man, however high or however low their social station for full punishment for the mobbst with his red hands red with human blood! May 1t be the ambition of the officers of this school to so saturate the stud ent with the love of order that he will not be merely ambitious to see that our courts are model for this country but for any country: that our laws are as good as any written in the books of any commonwealth. and that their execution shall be in the hands of brave and God fearing men--men who do not buy or sell

 Has Honored State In Past.
 Ut comes to me too that the school has honored the state in the past It has given us men who have, Tn all the walks of life. greatly exalted her Her grad uates for more than half a century have led the way; no department of history among us but has been illumined by them. In a fratrcidal war they offered themselves freely for cause which they believed to be entirely right. Alabama, it is said, sent more men to the front from 61 to Co than any other state of like population in the south. and great number. without regard to population, who did not come back. This campus and these halls were nursery for that great conflict. Many boys marched away from these halls straight for the front, who were not permitted to look upon loved ones again. We recall the soldier dead today and those of her who had wrought honor in other fields, and resolve that the memory of their endeayors shall not be lost on us; that the future will be worth while. because. in part, the past has furnished examples for pride and emulation

While we are cele- brating on this happy day the past and dreaming of the results which have been achieved we more than that are here to invoke blessings on the future. The past is by us. we cannot alter it, the future is before us, future, we fondy hope, of a larger life and a broader field of usefulness for the great institution.

prolonged debate Wednesday, adopted
the following resolution:
The interparliamentary union, now
assembled in London, expresses the
view that the second Hague confer
ence should:
81. By treaty define contraband of
war as being restricted to arms, mu-
nitions of war and explosives.
20. Reassert and confirm the prin-
ciple that neither a ship carrying con-
traband of war nor other goods
aboard such ship not being contra
band of war may be destroyed.
80. Affirm that even between bellig-
erents private property should be as
immune at sea as it is on land"

The Hague conference of means to
cut down the "intolerable expenditure

PLAN FIGHT FOR SAGE WEALTH
Troy Relatives to Contest Will, AIIeg-
ing Undue Influence

New York, July 26-Every dollar of
Russell Sage's great fortune is left to
Mrs. Sage by a will made in 1901 eX-
cept an insignificant bequest made to
Mrs, Fannie Chaplin, of Oneida n. Y,
an only sister, who died two years
ago.
The will undoubtedly will be con-
tested by the Troy relatives of Mrs.
Sage, who will charge that the 1901
will was made after mental break
down on the part of Mr.. Sage, and
that Mrs. Sage eXerted undue influ-
ence over him in the distribution of
his wealth.
Not one dollar of the fortune is left
to charity. The only contribution Mr..
Sage ever made during his lifetime
for this purpose was when, after a
years solicitation by Mrs. Sage, he
contributed $4,000 to build a wing
of the Presbyterian hospital, of which
Mrs. Sage was vice president.
The fortune of Mr.. Sage, which was
popularity believed to be 100000, 900.
and even thought to be greater by the
best Informed financial men of Wall
street, amounts to only about 500.

United States circuit court of appeals
by Armour Packing company, Swift
4 Co., Morris & Co., and the Cudahy
Packing company, which were con
victed in the United States district
court at Kansas City on charges of
accepting rebates.
One of the claims set forth in the
bills of exceptions is that the court
at Kansas City had no jurisdiction, as
the indictments failed to show that
the alleged offense was committed
within its district.
Failure to charge the jury that if
the consignment is through export
shipment to foreign port, then the
verdict should be for the defendant"

LABOR ENTERS POLITICS.
Appeal Made to ToiIers by American
Federation.

Washington.-The executive coun.
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor Sunday made good it's declara-
ton of several months ago to enter
the field of politics in the interest of
trade union movement and to exhort
all members and friends of organized
labor to work for the election to po-
litical office of men known to be ia
vorable to labor's cause.
The proposed campaign is based
upon the allegation that little atten.
ton has been paid to the enactment
of laws prepared by organized labor
and presented to congress, for the
relief of those wrongs and the attain.
ment of those rights to which labor
and the common people are justly en-,
titled and which are essentially neces.
sary for their welfare"
The council issues a word of eau.
ton that the movement must not de.
generate into a scramble for office,
but st should be q determined effort,
free, absolutely. from partisanship of
every name and character to secure
the legislation we deem necessary and
essential to the welfare and happiness
of all our people,"
1t is expressly stated that where
congressman or state legislator has
proven himself a true friend to the
rights of labor, he should be support
ed and no candidate nominated
against him."

Camden, Wash, when the locomotive,
mail, baggage and smoking cars left

ment into the waters of Diamond lake.
At ten o'clock Tuesday only two
bodies, those of George H. Curtis and

Spokane, had been recovered. The

the engine may have got beyond the
engineers control.
Immediately after the smoker
struck the water there was binding
flash, which spread over the part of
the car not submerged, and a fire
followed. The impact was so terrible
that several cars on the rear of the
train were wrenched and twisted, and
only the fact that the couplings did
not break on the dining, tourist and
sleeping cars averted greater loss of
life.
