Wheeler Attacks Corruption

BERKELEY, April 19.-From tn
Greek theater stage before the vet
erans of the civil war gathered 70
Berkeley day, Doctor Wheeler. presi
dent of the university, sounded tn
alarm against the peril of corruption
which was greater, he said, than
battle with hostile nations and must b
met by spirit of sacrifice, a rejuve
nation Of the spirit of 81.
With hand upraised, the head of tn
university solemnly declared that tn
internal strife which threatened to dis
sever the states 49 years ago was no
comparable with the evil which wa
eating at the vitals of the nation Doc
tor Wheeler said in part:
We have nothing to fear from
nations, for our position is assured,
are endangered by peril from
within, by our own sloth, by our
indifference and by our satisfac-
tion.
We are not willing that this peril
from within should be conquered
We sit quietly in our homes and
let others do our politics Have we
no citizenship? Then why do we
porations to do politics? Are we
out OF politics? Have we any
right to stay away from the polls?
No. Our duty calls us to say
what man should be selected for
office; 10 vote for the right man
for the place regardless of friend
ship or favor Self-promotion
should have no part in citizenship
with the highest ideals.
We like to vote by faction and
by party and reward the men of
those factions and parties. But we
should not forget that right duty
calls; that the eminent domain of
our country over us bids us choose
the man for the office. We have no
right TO vote a s we want to vote,
but to vote as the state wants US
to vote.
We need the spirit of 61. that
spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion
TO aid in The solution of this prob
lem which affects our being. Our
motto should be- II want to do
what l can for my ration, not what
can get out of it,
When q man rewards another
man because of a favor, he has not
robbed the public till. but he has
robbed public opportunity and has
corrupted the spirit of 81.
When the time comes that only
those who do politics enter public
life for gain, then is the republic
in danger and then shall arise the
spirit OF '61 anew snd save the ma
tion from the peril of corruption

CAUSES OF AWAKENING

The causes which have produced this
social awakening were declared to be
due to the awakening of the entire ma
tion. The lecturer said:
But the striking thing is that the
churches have kept pace with the
growth of the national feeling. The
Christian spirit is the most progress
sive of all moral forces. but the church
is the most conservative of all institu-
tfons. In European countries the ma
tional churches have resisted the older
democratic movements which began
with the French revolution and are
now resisting the social democracy
Professor Rauschenbusch referred to
the fact that the American churches
are churches of the laity. He said
that d ministry with strong clerical
tone and spirit would be absorbed in
church questions; but that the laity
was interested in the practical moral
ity of business life and thus the
churches were predisposed to take an
interest in social questions.
WOMAN's PLACE IN CHURCH
In discussing the place of woman in
church life he said that in the older
churches of Europe women had been
assigned a passive and silent position,
while in America their influence in
church life was very great. He added:
Inc cnurch arose before the
woman's club. being the great or
gan of womans activities. That
fact has thrust the social questions
in which woman is vitality con-
cerned to the front The fight
against the saloon is womans
fight. 1t is her class interest. She
has fought that battle mainly
through the churches.
The advanced attitude of the
= American churches on sexual vice
and war is also largely due
to the great influence of women in
the American churches. Now,
woman is becoming industrial
worker and is beginning to take
a KEEN interest in the industrial
questions which used to be some
what remote from her mind.
The new historical Interpretation of
the bible was also referred to. The
speaker said that the bible had become
"more human and social book" and
that, with this, the interest in dog
matte and sacramental questions had
weakened, and thus the mind of the
church had been set free to focus upon
other questions and concentrate it's,
interest more strongly on social ethics

REV. DR.. MURRAH
MAY Be bishop

1t is definitely learned that the Mis-
sissippi delegates to the quadrennial
session of the general conference of
the Southern Methodist church will
place before the body the name of DR..
W. B. Murrah, president of Millsaps
College, for election to the College OF
Bishops.
Five vacancies in the College OF
Bishops caused by death since the
last general conference are to be
filled, and it is expected that at least
three additional Bishops will be
chosen.
The general conference assemblies
at Asheville in May, and will be in
session for a period of perhaps six
weeks. 1t may require even long
er period to dispose of the pending
business, owing to the large number
of vacancies to be filled in the College
of Bishops.
The Mississippi delegates will act as
a unit in presenting the name of Dr.
Murrah. 1t is also understood that
they will endorse for elevation to the
same honor DR.. H. M. DuBose, OF

with the Greek letter societies at the
University.
One of the most persistent lobbying
organizations ever seen in the Mis-
issippi legislature worked for nearly
two months in the senate to secure
the passage of the Russell bill, and
some of the lobbyists were of the femi-
nine gender. This fact caused consid-
cradle uneasiness among the Greek
letter fraternities, for feminine persua-
sion has often been potent factor IN
shaping the course of legislation.
The debate was spirited, and at
times rather acrimonious. Statements

INCREASED APPROPRIATION
FOR CHARITY HOSPITAL

Jackson, Miss, March 1S.-The SEN
ate finance committee this morning
submitted a report on the State Char
ity Hospital bill, allowing the Vicks-
burg institution $660,000 per year, or
$4,000 more than the amount carried
in the measure sent over from the
house.
DR.. Sydney Johnson, superintendent
of the hospital, appeared before the
committee last evening, and succeed
ed in convincing the members that an
allowance more liberal than that pro-
vided by the lower house is needed
for the ensuing biennial period.
1t is expected That this bill will be
among the several appropriation
measures sent to conference, as the
lower house will hardly recede from
