Preachers Need n Raise

winston Salem, N. c., May 14-Holding
that the increased cost of living is a
problem confronting the material well
fare OF the. Episcopal church in North
Carolina and that its solution brooks of
no delay, the diocesan convention. in ses-
sion here, last night passed, without a
dissenting voice, resolution directing
the yestries of the various churches with
in it's jurisdiction to Immediately consider
the question of increasing the salaries
OF their respective clergymen. The reso-
luton created a profound impression,
bordering on the sensational but the close
relation of spiritual and material was Sc
potent that no debate followed its intro

BYRD In DEBATE
WITH WITHERSpOON

Meridian, Miss, May 14.-(Special.) lice
was broken in the Fifth district congress
sional campaign today at the annual
Suquelena picnic. Congressman A. M
Byrd, who is a candidate for reelection,
came down from Washington to speak
against his opponent, Hon. s. A. Wither-
spoon. An immense crowd attended the
picnic, although the temperature made
light overcoats comfortable. The political
speeches between the two candidates
furnished the feature of the day. Both
gentlemen were accorded respectful at
tention and both were literally applauded
but 1t appeared that Mr.. Witherspoon
made the greatest impression upon those
present. Both speakers discussed state
and national issues of Importance. From
now until the date of the primary In Au-
gust warm campaigning may be expected
between the two congressional candidates.

FEW MEDICAL
APPLICANTS
PASS MUSTER

Jackson Miss, May 14.-(Special. THE
state board of health completed today
tho grading of papers in the examina-
ton of applicants for license to practice
medicine in Mississippi. and this even
ing Secretary Mclean announced the list
OF successful applicants. Out of a class
of 1872 applicants only 50 were granted
license, which is the lowest percentage
on record
The board attributes the small per-
oentage chiefly to the lack of literary
education of applicants. and upon this
subject adopted the following resolu-
items: Realizing that the cause of the
failure in the large majority of appli-
cants appearing before the Mississippi
state board of health for license to prac-
tice medicine is due primarily to a de-
flcicney in literary education as shown
by the character of papers submitted to
this board, and to the further fact that
ii is impossible TO attain proficiency
in medicine without good literary foun-
dation, believing this to be the result of
the low standard of entrance require
ments of the majority of medical colleges
Therefore, we urge upon the various
schools a more rigid enforcement of en-
trance requirements
The list of successful applicants fol-
lows:
Robert Carl Eley, Merrill; Edwin Jones
Lipscomb, Itta Bena; William Roy John
son, Natchez; James Turner Googe, Ma
rletta; Andrew Jackson Kisner, Water
Valley; Stanley Livingston Pharr, Ma

reception by Harvard to former Presi-

Yale has been a little envfous of
Harvard's possession of President and
Presidents sons ever since young
Roosevelt graduated. and now her
chance has come, she proposes to MAX e
the most of it.
Everything the undergraduates can
conceive to make the Presidents visit

the faculty, will be done.
Be it said that the Presidents first
born Robert Alphonse Taft, is a young
man of whom Yale is proud outside
of his distinguished ancestry. He is a
fine, healthy young American, a first
rate scholar, standing at the head OF
his class, and taking a keen interest
In all the activities of college life He
is said to be one of the most bril-
liant men who have been In Yale for
years.
When seen by a representative oil
the Publishers Press today, Robert
Taft was diffdent and not inclined to
talk for publication. When asked
he intended to take an active interest
In politics he said II think it is
the duty of every American to take
an netive interest in politics. 1 do MOI
mean this in the sense of becoming an
officeseeker, but it should be consid-
cred an essential of good citizenship
