they might know thee, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast
sent"

men, particularly of the Academy, but
appealed to the old as well by its
power and its convincing logic. Mr.
Hay emphasized the Importance OF

made the primary and controlling in
fuence in the life of a man, and all
else subordinated.
The speaker brought out the neces-

in life, and the Effectiveness of any
life without Christ.
The whole discourse was a plea for
a more enlightened, uplifted, unselfish
humanity which made a deep impress
sion upon the minds of the young men,
and at this crisis in their lives, turn
ing point and a milestone in their
career, the words of the great speaker
were most timely, and will in after

as they go out into the great field of
endeavor.

PRESIDENT TO give.
ATTENTION To WORK

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 2S.-Two prece-
dents looking toward closer co-opera-
ton between the executive and leg
islative branches of the national gov
eminent may be established under the
administration of President Woodrow
Wilson. One would permit the Vice
President of the United States to sit
for the first time in Cabinet council
with the President. The other would
find the President frequently at the
capitol building physically and in
closer touch with the members of
Congress.
Heretofore the President has Wis
tied the capitol only during the closing
hours of Congress to sign bills. The
discussion of the latter innovation was
called to Mr.. Wilson's attention today
when it appeared in a magazine.
The visit of Vice President-elect
Thomas R. Marshall to the state house
yesterday revived the talk of the form
er innovation. Legislative policies, in
Guiding program of the extra session

shall, and said he expected to consul
him frequently.

WOMEN IN PRIMARY
FOR lGREENVILLE
POSYOFFICE
POLITICIANS UP A STUMP BUT
DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET
RID OF LADIES.

Meridian, Miss, Feb. 2S-Seeming-
ly Meridian has set precedent in
holding primary for the election of a
postmaster that has caused rather
unique situation in Greenville, Miss. In
the Meridian primary, the whole mat
ter was laid before Congressman With
erspoon, who agreed to stand by the
result if it was certified to him that
the candidate elected was the choice
of a majority of the patrons of the
postoffice. In the two primaries that
followed S. J. Ferguson won out over
a field of ten.
The Greenville section, however, is
wrought up over the fact that they are
not only having a primary for the Sc
lection of the postmaster, but the con-
test has been drawn between three
made candidates and two females.
These are Fred o. Bannon, William
Crump and R. P. Barnett. The would
be postmistresses are Mary Worthing-
/ TON Archer anu MrS. Llzzle u NUM-.
How the politicians are figuring out
this situation is unknown in this part
of the state Viewing the Meridian
election, however, which was not con-
fined to qualified electors, it seems rea-
sonable that the ladies cannot be kept
out of the race. Placing strict con-
struction on the law, however, to exer-
else the right of suffrage person
must have first met with all the quail
fications demanded by law. Still, again,
it cannot be clearly seen how wom-
an can offer for public office through
the electorate, as the days of women's
suffrage have not yet struck this state.

strong wind early Wednesday morn

Immediately after the traction COM

communication followed.
The promptness with which the
Knoxville manufacturers acted in this
