will probably be called to Atlanta to
succeed Dr. Len G, Broughton as
pastor OF the Baptist Tabernacle.
With every effort having failed to
retain DR.. Broughton, thoughts Of
his congregation turned Wednesday
TO successor, and the name Of DR..
Macarthur was first considered.
1t is believed that Ne, above all
other men, can best carry on the
work that Dr.. Broughton has found
ed. AS president Of the Worlds BaD-
tiSt Alliance he Is a leader Of the ma
tion-wide organization of Baptists,
and, as preacher and worker, Is fore
most among Baptist ministers.
He is just such vigorous, deter
mined leader as the Tabernacle
needs to supply DR.. Broughton's alb
sence and to complete the work that
he has so we'll begun.
These facts are generally ocog-
nized by officers Of the congregation,
and the impression was common
Wednesday morning that first of all
the church will turn to him for it's
new pastor and will lend its best Of
forts to securing him as DR.. Brough-
tons successor.
DR.. Macarthur Is now in Russia as
OF the Baptists Of the
world to confer with the CZaron mat
tcrs pertaining to the Baptist church
in Russia. He was selected for this
mission because Of his office as pres
ident OF the Worlds Baptist Alliance
and because Of his recognized fitness
for leadership in tho church.

HE TEACHES THE TEACHERS.
Eighteen-Year.O1d boy Is Instructor
fs of Professors.

Emory College, oxford, Ga, Jan.
24.--Emory has the youngest pro-
fessor Of any college in the State.
True, he Is not officially recognized,
and his department Is not printed IN
the catalogue, but nevertheless, Geo.
r. Loehr, of Florence, Italy. an 49,
year-old freshman, Is full-hedged
professor, with class consisting or
real college professors. George holds
down the chair Of Italian.
Aside from his ability as lin
guist, Loehr, who Is a son of a Chi
nese missionary and a grandson Of
Young j. Allen, has an interesting
history. He reads, writes and speaks
Ave languages, namely, English, Ger
man, French, Chinese and Italian.
His early education was received In
Shanghai at the German deacon
esses.' Then he was sent to Atlanta
and attended the public schools there
for part of year. The next year
found him student in the Collegio
Florentino, In Florence, and then he
studied in Paris for time. 1t Is his
intention to complete his education
in Dresden at the university, and his
ambition is to be civil engineer.
For some time the youthful in
structor and his pupils managed to
keep their class a secret by calling 1t
the "Dago Club" and stoutly main
tanning that it was social club Of
kindred spirits purely, but the truth
leaked out when one Of the venerable
professors was seen to- approach
Loehr in the village post Office and
whisper too loud: What did you say
the lesson was for tonight, George?"
Then the cat was out Of the bag and
the professors and Loehr owned up,
Loehr's room in the college dormi-
tory resembles a museum of foreign
souvenirs. In his Journeys, which
have taken him around the world
twice." he has collected materials
for this museum from practically
every nation in three continents. He
calls his room tho cosmopolitan
room, because of it's decorations.
Whether the officials will recog-
nize George as professor and place
him on the pay roll will not be set
tied till later, but the fact remains
that he has full-hedged class, not OF
college boys, but Of college profess
sors. If it were possible to publish
this professors opinions concerning
the stupidity and ability Of his
charges, 1t would prove interesting
reading to the Emory boys who are
forced TO si, al their rcct daily.

BRYAN BACKS GOV. WILSON.
Nebraskan Says Wilson Was Fully
Justified in What He Did.

In a letter that has just been made
public. William J. Bryan commends
Woodrow Wilson for the position he
took In the Harvey -IVatterson affair.
Mr.. Bryan says:
"The recent break between Cover
nor Wilson and Col. Harvey illus
trates the impossibility of co-opera-
ton between men who look at public
questions from different points Of
view. Col. Harvey became a sup
porter OF Mr.. Wilson when he was
selected as the Democratic candidate
for Governor Of New Jersey, and he
continued his support when Cover
nor Wilson began to be discussed as
course, it Is absurd for Col. Harvey's
friends to talk about his bringing
Governor Wilson out No man or
paper could have made Governor
Wilson available as candidate il
he himself had not attracted atten-
ton. 1t would have been impossible
for Col. Harvey to have prevented a
discussion of Governor Wilson's
availability.
But let us assume that Col Har-
vey was doing all that he could for
his choice. What was the situation?
His conspicuous support was not only
of no advantage, but it became actu-
ally a disadvantages; it did not bring
to Governor Wilson the class for
which Col. Harvey speaks, but alien
ated men just as honest as Col. Har-
vey's friends, who could not under
stand why Col. Harvey praised Gov
ernor Wilson personally without en-
dorsing the things for which Cover
nor Wilson stands. 1t naturally
aroused suspicion as to the sincerity
Of one or the other, and when Cover
nor Wilson was asked the question,
he admitted that he regarded the
support of Col Harvey as a liability
rather than an asset. Should he
have pretended that he thought that
Col. Harvey was helping him when
he was not? And why should Col.
Harvey complain? If he really IA
vors Governor Wilson, he must de-
sire to aid him; why should he be
offended then at Governor Wilson's
frankness? Is he more interested in
being known as the man who made
Governor Wilson famous than In ad-
vancing Governor Wilson'S cause?
Harvey has shown no signs Of con-
version. If he communes with Anna
niases, 1T Is not with any conscious
ness Of blindness. He has seen no
new light, and when he does he will

Possibilities Of Electricity.

This Is a Great Fur Season.

Grace Margaret Gould, the well known
fashion authority who writes for the
Woman's Home Companion, contributes
an article to the January number of
that periodical on new uses for old
furs. In the course of this article she
saws:
This is to be a fur season with a
vengeance, we are told; in fact, fa-
yored few of us knew this as long ago
a. last July. and now that the snappy
cold DAYS are here we see everywhere
pretty women arrayed in furs.
"And such furs as they arel Many
of them look as if the furrier had but
little to do with them, beautiful and
fascinating as they are. They suggest
the work of a clever milliner or a skilled
tailor instead; and, in fact, what they
suggest is indeed the truth. An up-to-
date tailor this season takes an order
for broadcloth or corduroy coat
and-sxirt suit with muff and neck scarf
to match. And the way the millinery
business is expanding is surely some
thing worth noting.
"There are satin muffs, great, big,
pillow shaped affairs. which are trimmed
with chiffon frills and fur bands. And
the same idea is carried on. in the
scarf to match, while the hat and the
bag which complete such set are also
made OF satin and fur"
