ANOTHER PROMISE FULFILLED

The College community and the
citizens Of Berea are placed under
still greater obligations to the Ly-
ceum Committee that has 30 ably pro-
vided for the entertainment of its
patrons this year. Indeed the COM
mittee is making for itself q good
reputation. and It Is widely remarked
that its word can be trusted. for
every promise has been fulfilled.
When announcement has been made
that an entertainment or lecture is
of the highest order II has been
found to be 20 and to this conf
dence in the Committee must be at
tributod the very large audiences
that have attended all the numbers
this year.
The attention and intelligent appre-
citation Of the Chapel audiences are
becoming matters OF comment. every
lecturer or entertainer 20 far hav-
ing expressed delight at the recep-
ton given.
The universal expression concern
ing the lecture by Mr.. OFT. Saturday
night. is that It was the best ever
given here. and II was generally add
cd by those who spoke Of II. that
II was the bost ever heard.
Mr.. Otis subject was "sour Grapes,
and the introduction was the Old
Testament reference to the fathers
having eaten sour grapes and the
children's teeth being set on edge.
As might be surmised from this
quotation. he dealt mainly with hered-
ity and hereditary influences.

Vol. XIII.

DR.. Holt introduced the subject Of
international peace by assigning It's
place In the great human problems.
There are two great problems which
every individual must face and set
tic for himself: a. his personal reli-
gion. OF his philosophy Of life; (D
his support. tho problem Of keeping
alive and comfortable.
Bcsides these two most important
problems with which each person IL
confronted there are four others
which are very important and in
teresting which wo all ought TO be
able to help solve: ~ there Ia the
economic problem. or the question
Of the distribution OF wealth and prop
erty; (2) the problem Of the prop
or place of women. their relation
u industry. politics. business. ana
education; go the race problem; 90
and the problem Of worldwide peace
All Of those problems must be solv-
cd by ths rules Of justice.
After showing where tho subject
Of international peace stands a. re-
lated to the other great subjects MI
Holt went on to show how great an
advantage worldwide peace Will be
and what great strides have been
made In that direction In the last
decade or two. War cannot ceaoe
untn thcro are efficient substitutes
for war. The peace problem IL but
the problem Of finding ways ana
means of doing between nations what
has long been dono within nations.
At present nations settle disputes In
q manner for which they would put
To death their subjects for initiating.
The desire for peace Is old. and when
tactical, satisfactory and honor
able substitutes for war can DO found
and established war will become q
custom of tho past only.

The Federation Of The World
Washingtons Birthday Address by Dr. Hamilton Holt
of The Independent, in Berea College Chapel.

The speaker quoted Emanuel Kant:
war will not cease until the world
is organized; and the world cannot
safely be organized until the major
ity of tho nations have representa-
tive governments" Since Rants day
democratic government has 30 spread
that today there IL not great
government on earth that IL not
representative to some degree, 80 that
the first condition for worldwide
peace il ali eady satisfied.
Napoleon said: The moro l study
history the more I am convinced of
the inability Of fierce TO create any
thing durable" The first wish of
George Washington was Ito see the
whole world at peace" Lowell said:
"As for war. call 1t murder,
There you have 1t plain and flat
don't want to go no further
Than my Testament for that"
in any popular appeal to tho emo
tions." said DR.. Holt, those who sing
| Peace, perfect peace and those who
shout the army and navy forever
are pretty evenly matched. A man
must be either fool or a moliycod-
die that can watch soldiers go by
without feelings OF patriotism.
Tho practical solution is nothing
less than q substitution of law for
war through the organization or
federation Of the world and the de-
velopment Of international law. There
is no such thing at the present as
code Of International law bind
ing upon the nations. What exists
is a system Of practice and opin-
ions. The nations are at perfect lib
erty to accept or reject 1t as they
please, and they do so. We must have
some conscious political organi-
zation to give 1t sanction and validity
"A government Is great big peace
society"
Look over any Of The nations In
all history and In all of the nations
Ia the world today and In those ma
tons where there is the most poll
teal organization there is most law.
and where there Is most law there Is
most justice. and where there Is
most justice there Is most peace.
At present there are no satisfactory
ways Of settling oil disputes between
nations as between individuals. with
out war. Right and might, law and
war. reason and force--if wo don't
have ono we must have the other.
In the past we have had the reign
OF war. in the future We should have
only civil war. We are living at the
end of the war era and at the be-
ginning Of the Law era"
The speaker compared the relation
that the nations bear to each other
today to the relation Of the thirteen
colonies to each other in l776. "When
! attended the second Peace Con-
ference at The Hague tried to make
Mr.. Choate see the parallel between
the federation Of tho world today and
the federation Of the colonies in IL.

THE SECTION IDEA

IT HAS been suggested that
the county might be able to effect
saving in keeping up the roads
of the county by working what
is known as the Section Idea
and the suggestion appears to
us as being feasible one. The
idea would be to employ men
throughout the county whose
duty it would be to look after a
given territory and to see that
the roads In his section were
kept up. One or two men and
team could keep up a good
many miles of road, going over
the route weekly and making
what minor repairs were needed.
In the older sections where the
toll roads are still in use this
manner of keeping up roads is
adopted and seems to work out
very satisfactorily. Foreign
countries, too. have this system
so we are told. Under the pres
ent system where a crew goes
over road it may not be touched
again for a year and holes and
bad places are bound to appear
and if these were taken care OF
when they first show up the re-
suit would be good roads all of
the time. This is merely offered
as suggestion that others
might too give it some thought.

Or. Johnson and Fruit.

The return Of the awberry season
was always heartily welcomed by Dr.
Johnson, for, as he once declared, OF
strawberries and cream he never could
have too much. Fortunately he some
times had opportunity to indulge bis
taste to the full, for his friend. Dr.
Taylor Of Lichneld. whom be con-
trived when possible to visit at straw
berry time, was rather a noted fruit
grower, and when ut his house 1t was.
as Johnson said. with gusto. STRAW
berries and cream. toujours strawber
ries and creamw A voracious eater at
any time, Johnson's appetite for fruit
was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale
tells us that he used often to eat half
a dozen peaches before breakfast. and
then frequently she had heard him
complain that never In all his life had
he quite as much wall fruit as he de-
sired, save once. The exceptional oc-
casion was during visit to Lord San
dys' seat at Ombersley. The exact
quantity he then devoured has not
been recorded. but he was accused OF
clearing a whole wall side.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

OF innumerable occasions when Judge
Hoar INDUCED In the retort mordant
perhaps none gave him greater salts
faction than the following: B. F. But
Ter, his chief adversary at the bar in
the fifties as counsel for the defense,
closed with this emphatic appeal to the
jury: 1--WE have the highest authority
for saying, Everything which man
hath will he give for his life" When
Hoar's turn came he said: 1T has for
long time been suspected by those
who have watched Mr.. Buffers career
that he has recognized as the highest
authority the individual upon whom he

Love Notes Barred

According to advices received
from Washington an order has
been issued by the postal
department which will require
the local postmasters to insist
on a written notice from prose
cutive users of the general
delivery window. The requests
must have the name of the user
and the address and specific
reasons why it's necessary to
receive mail in this manner.
The object of the order is to do
away with the practice Of young
girls and young fellows getting
their mail in this manner and
there will likely be fewer young
persons around the general de-
livery window in the future when
the order is enforced. The
general delivery window was
originally intended for persons
having no permanent address
and transients but it has been
made use of by young people
getting mail and not wishing
their parents to know of it. The
object Of the order is to prevent
the practice.

THE TWO CANDIDATES

Two candidates are in the field
for the Republican nomination
for assemblyman from the dis
trict comprising Bayfield, coun-
ty, being H. Fl. Peavey of this
city and Martin Rogan of Cable.
This is the first time that Bay
field county has been in a dis
trict by itself and naturally the
voters of the county will feel
that one of the larger places is
entitled to the representation in
the state legislature for the first
term at least. Messrs Peavey
and Rogan are both Progressive
Republicans so from this stand
point the voters will have little
choice and the announcements
of each do not differ materially,
Doth faVOrlng laws tnaJ Will tenu
to upbuild this part of the state
and Bayfield, county in general.
From the standpoint of 'good
fellowship" both stand in about
the same class, both being popu-
lar with the voters where they
are known and in this connection
we might say that they have a
wide acquaintance.
From what we know of the
two there will be no "mud sling
ing'' in the campaign but it will
be conducted on it's merits.

South Shore Train Wrecked

The Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic passenger train No. z
was wrecked at Switzerland, a
small station between Iron River
and Bibon, Monday morning.
A freight train was standing on
the siding waiting for the
passenger train to pass. The
switch from the main line had
been left open through mistake
and the engineer was unable to
stop his train and avoid a COLI
sion. The engines went together
head-on, and both were badly
damaged. The engine crews
jumped and saved themselves
from injury. No passengers
were injured.

this week is one that will appeal to

questions that has been delivered
by any American of late. Every
question Of present interest to the

Roosevelt has mack of saying
things in such manner that they
appeal to the people. His talk is
