was the moment when DR.. Pearsons
reached the decision to make his
first offer of $4,000 to Berea provid-
ing the College would raise $15O.eOO
additional endowment"
DR.. Pearsons gave two such $780,
600 gifts conditioned on raising $780,
900 more for endowment. Later he
gave 100000 on the condition that
100000 more should be raised. These
three gifts Of 100000 helped to bring
100000 more. Then he gave the
water works and sewer system that
cost 5O,000-the gift that gave DR..
Pcarsons more pleasure than any
other gift of his life time Finally he
gave $4,000 toward the construction
of Pearsons Hall, the first modern
brick dormitory for men.
The memorial service closed with
singing Speed away" and the bene-
diction.

injuries are not considered serious.
That the entire train did not go
down a 75-foot embankment, result
ing in the loss of many lives, is
said to be due to the sllillful way
in which the engineer managed his
brakes.
An entire train on the @. and C.
was derailed near Crittenden, Mon
day morning. The wreck was due TO
the spreading OF the rails. No one
was killed but several Of the pass

ENGLAND ON THE SCENE

ENGLAND ON THE SCENE
The English Government has dis
patched a war vessel to the Western
coast of Mexico to afford a refuge
and protection to British subjects.
The United States Government has
sent ships to the same locality.
A VISIT FROM GERMANY
The German Government has noti-
fled the State Department that a
squadron of the German Navy will
make a friendly call upon the Unit
ed States, coming to Hampton Roads
and afterward going to New York,
the first week in June. Preparations
are being made to give them a
hearty welcome.
OLYMPIC FAILS TO SAIL
The Olympic of the White Star
Line. sister ship of the Titanic. now
the greatest steamship afloat, has
failed to make her voyage from
Southampton to New York owing
to the strike of her crew, or, what
her officers term, mutiny. She has
gone back to port and her passeng-
ers are seeking passage on other lin
ers. The plea of the crew was that
the vessel did not have sufficient
life boats to protect all on board in
case OF accident.

WELCOME TO BOOSTERS

ems. After music by the Boosters
Band, Mayor Gay introduced Prof.
Raine who gave the visitors q
cordial welcome.
Chairman Johnson of the Com
mercial Association then took charge
and in a very pleasing and witty
MANNER introduced Mr.. Charles 4.
Basler, Assistant Manager of the
Aims and Doepke Company, who
crowded many pleasant words into
the few minutes allotted him. Mr..
Basler was followed by Prof. Parker
Of the University of Cincinnati in
a short but interesting address.
Berea was delighted with her Wis
itors, and did everything in her pow
er in the short time at her disposal
to express her pleasure. On all sides
was heard the invitation to come
again, and to stay longer next time.
The secretary, Mr.. DeHoney, was
so well entertained that he came
very near being left, some one in the
observation car, as the train was
leaving the yards. however, saw his
white umbrella and gave the signal to
stop for him. Another gentle
man whose name could not be learn
ed failed to arrive at the station
in time and had to board a freight
train.
The regret was general that we
were not on their itinerary for
night stop, for addresses by more
speakers would have been appreciat-
ed and the splendid views of Gin
cinnati and the moving pictures would
have been greatly enjoyed.
Such an excursion is a great ad-
vertisement of the BUSINESS of the
city sending 1t out and has many
educational features. If any criti-
cism whatever could be offered, how
ever, 1t would be that its effective
ness is discounted tremendously by
the fact that SO many stops are
scheduled in so short a time. Never
theless, no town visited failed to feel
the splendid effect of getting in
touch with the live wires of the
Queen City. And no doubt, the COM
mercial interests of Cincinnati will
be greatly enhanced by the trip.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT FROST
Things Going on in the World.

Dear Readers OF The Citizen:
IL quite makes me feel awake TO
be moving from place to place and
seeing the great cities which | had
half forgotten, and meeting the great
people that | have read about but
seen seldom or never.
In Boston | had a visit with Prof.

of the students kindly went to show
me the way from the school 20 DR..
Doggetts house. This school trains
men for all departments OF Y. NJ.
G. A. work. and has some 200 stu
dents gathered from all parts of the
United States and Canada.
Springfield also contains the
French Protestant College. a school
for young people OF French blood
who are coming in great numbers
from Canada, as well as for other
foreigners who need training for
Christian work among their own peo-
pie.
From Springfield went to Dalton,
near the home OF my great-grand-
father. Here lives Senator Crane. lie

great paper mills here. making the
peculiar paper on which greenbacks
are printed. All this western end of
Massachusetts is mountainous. every

land is so poor the people devote
themselves largely to manufacture
paper. cloth. typewriters, machinery

OF course this does not apply to
everybody. There are beginning to
be people in the South who dare act
and speak in a Christian way about
colored people. and there are plenty
of people in the north who are as
selfish as they can possibly be. But
there are enough courageous and
generous people in the north to keep
things going and raise very large
sums for Christian and patriotic
purposes.

NEW STATUS OF SUFFRAGE

NEW STATUS Of SUfFhAGE
Miss Laura Clay, who has been for
twenty years President of the Ken
lucky Equal Rights Association states
that the organization has arranged
that her term of office will ex-
pire next year, she herself thinking
that new leaders are demanded ow-
ing to the status of the question.
Suffrage, she says, is no longer an
educational but political movement
The states of Washington and Cali
lornia recently added to those al
ready granting women the right to
vote in a contingency might hold
the balance of power in national
elections.
WHICH SHALL ADVISE
Quite a difference of opinion has
developed between Representative
Powers and Senator Bradley as to
which shall control the patronage in
the counties taken from and added
TO Mr.. Powers district by the new
to hold that he no longer has any
apportionment law. Mr.. Powers seems
authority in the counties taken from
his district, while the Senator has
a contrary view, stating that Powers
was elected to represent the old
district and should continue until his
successor is chosen.

more advanced civilization. In my
opinion this il not at all the real
question. The question at issue, is
will the white man, with his super
Tor training, greater advancement,
and large opportunities, be able to
stand the test of contact with a
less fortunate race? Every race, Gs
well as every individual, must be
finally judged by its attitude toward,
and its treatment OF, those who are
not able to protect themselves. The
father that despises one of his chill
dren because 1t is weaker physically
or mentally is branded as a savage.
The boy that picks on" another I'M
der his size is promptly denominat-
ed a bully and a coward. Not less
will the race that deals unfairly with
a weaker and more infantile race
be judged Of God to be unworthy Of
its heritage.
A National Question
The supreme race questions of this
nation are not whether the Chinese
and japanese on the Pacific Coast
will be able to meet the demands of
a more exacting civilization; not
whether the European immigrant cf
the East is the equal of the native
American; not whether the negro of
the South can ever measure up to the
standard of achievement Of his white
neighbor-but whether in all these
varying situations we Americans,
with our boosted culture, larger
wealth, and splendid opportunities,
will be able so to deal with these
weaker peoples as to prove to God
end TO the world that we are a race
Of superior advancement. Our culture
and our civilization are not given us
for selfish use. We are simply the
custodians of these rich blessings.
Just as the new social consciousness
demands that a man of accumulated
millions shall use 1t for the good
Of humanity-so the social sense of
the world at large will sooner or lat
er demand that we shall use our Gull
ture and our civilization to elevate
those less fortunate than ourselves.
