wish Of the people.
Such conduct comes dangerously near
being treason TO the whole spirit Of
our institutions. 10 the whole spirit OF

believe that the people will tolerate such
conduct. nor do ! believe that sober
Republicans will consent to see the Re-
publican party sacrificed to please the
bosses whom the party has repudiated.
This is more than a mere party fight.
We are fighting for the cause OF every
decent citizen who Is a Republican, but
We are also fiehting for the cause Of

must have prevailed.
The news received by wireless all
day Monday was to the effect that
the huge ship was disabled by her
contact with the ice mountain but
was being towed to the Newfound-
land banks where she would be
beached. all Of her passengers and
crew being rescued by other ships
which had answered the distress call
But, Monday night, the waiting and
anxious world was disillusioned and
the awful fact was made known that
scarcely third of those on board
we're saved.
A few OF the notables on board
were John Jacob Aston, Isadore
Strauss, Geo. ID. Widener, j. Bruce
ismay. Benz. Guggenheim, Washing
ton Robeling and j. b. Thayer.
These persons are said to represent
wealth totaling 1896. 10000 Aside
from these there were a number
distinguished for other than their
wealth. notably w. T. Stead, the
English Journalist. Archibald Butt,
President Taft's aide. Millet. the
artist, and Henry b. Harris, Theatre
cal Manager.
The Titanic" was valued at sl0.-
900 900. and 1t is thought that she
carried down with her jewels and
Naluables worth another slO.00O,0OO.
The details of the disaster will not
be known until the survivors reach
port, and the real horrors OF II will
possibly never be fully pictured.

CABLE IN BEREA AGAIN

Mr.. George w. Cable has visited
Berea again and given us entertain
ment and instruction even greater
than on his previous visit just four
months ago
Wednesday night, the tenth, Mr..
Cable read from his own writings
part OF the story OF Mary Richling
and all of the fascinating story of
Poison Jone. Mr.. Cables descriptive
and dramatic power is best interpret
ed by himself. and the audience was
delighted with his rendering and up
lifted by the moral OF the story. He
was heartily encored and gave one
of his own songs, de Lady's Man."
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1912-04-18
set to an old and forgotten tune.


After the entertainment a short
reception was given to MIR. and Mrs.
Cable at the Presidents house. TO
which the students and faculty Of
the College department were invit-
ed. following which Pres. Frost pres
ented each student with a copy Of
some book.
The next morning at united chapel
Mr.. Cable gave an address to the
whole student body dwelling on our
debt to government. you would
have to have government" he said,
"or else there would have to be one
of you TO every fifteen hundred square
miles-that is all the land will sup
port II you are savages-instead of
what you or your children may hear
of some time, fifteen hundred to every
square mile" He further pointed out
that the Bible is not a book of rules
but book of principles. and that the
great historic misuse of the Bible
has been the habit of taking 1t as
a book of inspired rules and no more.
After the address Mr.. Cable planted
a tree southeast of the library.
MIR. Cable has long been friend OF
Berea and first visited here in the
days of President Fairchild. He does
not often give such treats and Be
Tea has been doubly fortunate this
year.

A DISCREPANCY IN THE FIG
URES

On the second page of The Citizen
a table will be found showing the
list of delegates already pledged to
the President, the total number be-
ing 2SS while 500 are necessary to o
choice. Since this list went to press,
the Taft column has risen to 341, &C
cording to Chairman Mckinley at
the Presidents headquarters. But, II
one should inquire at the Roosevelt
headquarters and believe what is
handed out to him, he would get
an entirely different view, Senator
Dixon's figures being as follows:
Roosevelt 2l6; Taft Sc; Cummins 4;
LaFollette SO; Uninstructed "a; Con-
tested 1879. These figures may be
taken with some salt.
TALK OF COMPROMISE CANDI-
DATE
The bitterness of the contest be-
tween the President and Ex-President,
and the probability now that the in
structed delegates will be nearly
equally divided between the two
is leading to considerable talk of
compromise candidate. and Ex-
Governor Hughes. now Associate JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, is prominently mentioned in
that connection. Color is given TO
this suggestion by the fact that
while New York's delegates are plain
ly for the President, they go with
out definite instructions.
