THE BIG STICK AS A TEXT,

For his baccaIauratc sermon to the
graduating class of Cornell Univer-
sty the good Bishop Lawrence of
Massachusetts who shrlnks from

found in Exodus: Take the rod that
thou hast IN Thy hand and thou shalt
do signs with IT,"
i would seem from the sermon
which was given to the graduates of
the university at Ithaca that the
bishop had departed from his usual
conservative course.
The fact is that from the rod and
the great crisis in the life OF Moses

bishop the parallel presented In the

GOOD NEWS FOR NEWPORT
NEWS.


The announcement in the news
columns of the Daily Press this
morning that the Newport Ncws
Shipbuldng ana Dry Dock Company
has received the contract for one of
the two big bnttleships that the I'm
tied States Is to construct is the best
piece of information that the resi-
dent of the city have reviewed in
many day. 1t il welcome because
1t stands for the hest df all in
tefests which are most vital TO the
y,.ssThe merchant. the professional
man, the real estate dealer and every
citizen will be directly affected for
the better by the awarding of the
contract 10 the local company and il
means prosperiiy--n condition that
every live ana progressive town
desires to enjoy. That The great
throng will continue to pour out from
the gates of the shipyard at the noon
and evening hours is 4 cause of con
graduation. Perhaps they would
have been continued in the employ
ment of the big concern II the con
tract had not been secured but It
1t is pleasing Just the same to know
that for several years to come that
the great mass of steel and iron that
VIII ultimately be involved lnto one
of the greatest fighting machines the
world has ever seen VIII contlue to
give employment to thousands nj the
local ship yard
1t Is pleasing news because it
means that there will be no retrencl-
ments; no reductions in the payrolls,
part of factory life upon which
city or town is so dependent Then
again IT. il pleasing that il IL for our
city to give 10 the world the best in
the line of sea fighting machines 1t
will make Tic name of Newport News
familiar the world over and there can
be no question but that the more Of
ten the name of n city is in the
newspapers of the world in conncc-
ton with something that stands for
progress the better Off the city will
be In the end.
Perhaps at this gladstone time it
may he Just as well TO remind the
people of Newport News that they
have great deal to be thankful for
AMI with the prosperous days that
are bound TO come it might be Just
as well If the grumbling that has
beon so pronounced for several
months past be supplanted by we'll
orsanized and directed effort to boost
the city at every possible chance. Fig.
uratively speaking the sum is going to
shine on Newport News ana there is
no reason why cheerful hopes for
bright days should not prevail. 1t
Is true that thus far the Exposition
has not proved ali thai Newport News
hoped for, but after all that would
have been only fleeting blessing
at its best, while the prosperity of
the ship yaid Is something snbsian
tiai upon which can be built n foun
dation that will last for many years
TO come.
With everybody else the Daily
Press is glad that the good Judgment
