OF THE PRESENT
Dr.. Murray Says Question of
Fitness Counts More Than
Ever

The Rev. DR.. W. L. S. Murray, of
Pocomoke City, Md, addressed the
students of Goldey College yesterday
afternoon on The Present Day OPP
portunities." He was generously
applauded at the close. DR.. Murray
emphasized the fact of America being
the greatest country on the globe for
opportunity. "In what other coun-
try, for instance, could an immigrant
gain one of the largest fortunes the
world has even seen in one lifetime,
as has been done by Andrew Car
negie?" he asked. He is showing that
he appreciates the power of oppor-
tunity, through the vast sums he is
giving for Libraries. educational in
stitutions, etc. His example is fol-
lowed by other wealthy men, so that
young people of today cannot but be
far better prepared for their Oppor-
tunities in life than ever before.
Through being better prepared, far
greater fields of opportunity are be-
ing opened to them.
DR.. Murray showed that mans in
ventive genius had resulted in taking
away from women many of their ma
tural pursuits. Less than one hun
dred years ago the women of a house
hold devoted their time largely to
manufacturing things that in today
are accomplished by machinery. To
meet these changed conditions, Dr..
Murray said that it became necessary
for the sister to take her place be-
side her brother in all professions and
callings AS a natural result, DR..
Murray stated that woman is now ask
ing for equal privileges, equal sal
aries. equal ballots, to those enjoyed
by man It was pointed out that this
put the question of superiority largely
upon an individual basis. Those who
hope to eXcel-men or women-mus,
pay close attention to their equip
ment. In closing Dr. Murray said :
But while present day OppOrtuni-
ties are great. your temptations to
waste time are also great Take care
of your moments; econOmize your
strength; take care of your eyes; take
care of your powers; do not waste
them on any known or unknown dis
sipation; but save your nerves; save
your intellect; save your brain; save
your heart; keep your feet in the righf
path, for there are dangers today
such as never perhaps stepped into
the way of business men. And, i
you will be careful about all thes'
things, | believe you will succeed
Some day you may feel revengeful
but / would not advise you to give
way to your feelings. Disappoint
ments and Affections will come, some
times punishment, do not TAXI
revenge Be courageous and go ahead
especially through Christmas"

Mccall, of Massachusetts,, a member Of

today and presented the administration
bill to- carry into effect the, terms Of
the Cana dian reciprocal trade agree
ment- The bill IIv-vasssreferyed to the
committee on ways and means and
while the members OF tho committee,
which has the consideration OF the
a agreement. decline to discuss their
prospective attitude upon the measure.
1t has become fairly well established
that the bill will come out upon the
floor Of the house in a short time.
There will be no extended hearings
and no opening in the bars to allow
tariff arguments that might be intro
duced for and against the terms Of the
agreement The impression has been
that the presidents de-
termination to secure an action upon
the reciprocity measure at this session
is such that he will resort to an extra
session If it becomes necessary to
bring the matter to a final considera-
tion by both houses.
The Democrats Of the. house are ap-
parently disposed to accept the treaty
and support it in debate and with
votes.
