DECLARES FEDERAL
UNIVERSITY A NEED
DR.. James, of Illinois University,
Tells of Effort for 1t Made a
Century Ago.

A university under Federal control and
situated in WASHINGTON. is one of the
greatest needs Of the United States at
the present time, according to DIR. Ed
mund James James, president of the
University of Illinois, and high official
of the National Association of State
Universities.
In an address before the University
Club las: night. DR.. James declared the
nation WIS suffering from this lack
every hour and that he DOUBTED whether
endowments to universities had been a
boon or q curse.
"Endowments," he declared, should
be given without the hint that 4 dead
hand will rule the disbursements OF
funds. 1t is impossible to foretell the
needs Of the next generation as regards
learning. Financial aid given univer-
stiles should be given with the under
standing that endowment earnings
would be used for the most good
Such an institution, he said, was sug-
gested to George Washington, who
called the man who suggested 1t n
prophet" George Washington planned
Federal university on the ground now
occupied by the Botanic Garden.
The claim that Federal college
would be unconstitutional was met with
the assertion by DR.. James that the idea
had been recommended to Congress for
the first thirty years of the Government
of the United States. and IL the idea
was unconstitutional, it would never
have been recommended at that time.

SUFFRAG|STS IN
PERIL, SAYS PASTOR
Some Have Faith Too Great,
0tsers Trust in God Too Lit
tle-0pposes MiIitancy.

A parallel between the temptation o.
Christ and the influences that threaten
to betray the eaders of the woman suf-
frage movement was drawn by the Rev.
John Van Schaick, jr., this morning in
his sermon at the Church of Our Faith
er, Thirteenth, and L streets northwest
Referring to the Biblical temptation,
Mr.. Van Schaicll said that the .sugges-
ton of the devil to turn stones into
bread was a temptation to have too lit
tie faith in God, while the suggestion
10 the Messiah to cast Himself down
from the pinnacle of the temple was a
temptation TO put too much faith in
Divine power and trust it to do too
Inuch.
Both of these temptations have come
and are coming to the suffrage leaders
in this country" said the minister.
One wing of the suffrage party does
not have faith in God, and another
wing has too much faith. The one wing
does not recognize that God has infinite
resources; that He has infinite power;
that there are several thousand others
who have not bowed the knee to Baal,
and they are tempted tc do unwiss
things because of this very lask OF trust
in God.
Another wing of the party has so
much so-called faith in God that they
are almost willing 10 stand on the pin
nscle of the temple and hurl themselves
down and trust in God to hold them
up. / believe that both wings will rec
ognize the voice of the tempter.
mo movement in this country is so
full Of splendid promise for humanity
as the movement for equal suffrage.
believe in it absolutely. ] believe in

strength of my conviction l must resist
and oppose resort to violence in any

China Interests Presbyterians.
In practically all the larger Presby-
terrain churches today the chief topic

made to raise $4,000 for Presbyterian

ADJOURNMENT TALK
LOUD IN CONGRESS
Currency Bill Passage Hope
Gone, But Mexican Situation
May Require Sitting.

Adjournment talk in the Senate and
the House is expected to come to 4
head this week. The clamor for ad-
journment is loud, and later in the
week is expected to take definite form.
If Congress is going to sit through the
latter part of November 1t will have to
decide speedily. The Senate Banking
Committee is expected to report a cur
rency bill to the Senate late this week
and then the leaders will determine
whether to adjourn until the first Mon
day I'm December or remain here.
President Wilson has quit expressing
the belief that the currency bill will
pass this session. But the threatening
nature of the Mexican situation has
been advanced in Administration
quarters as a sufficient reason why Con-
greess should stay here.
Mann Relaxes Vigil.
In the House, Republican Leader Mann
has told the Democrats that he will not
insist on a quorum this week
The currency situation in the Senate
continues to be badly complicated.
About all that is hoped for now, So far
as the Committee on Banking is con-
cerned, is that it will find a way to
make a report and throw the fight into
the Senate. 1t is perceived that the
battle will have to be fought out in that
body anyhow, and that, with the com-
mittee split into two equal sections,
and each section more or less split,
no real progress toward legis sation can
be made until the Senate as a whole
takes the currency subject up itself.
The issue of Government guarantees
of bank deposits has been raised, and
will not down until the Senate disposes
of it. 1t was raised in what has come
to be known as the Hitchcock section
of the committee. including the five Re-
publican Senators and Senator Hitch
cock. Senator Bristow prepared and
submitted a plan whereby % per cent
of the excess of net earnings Of the re-
gional banks, allowing for the segrega-
ton of certain amounts for dividend
and the like, shall be used as an insur-
ance fund from which depositors are
to be paid in case of the failure of
bank. Senators Mclean, Hitchcock.
Bristow, and Crawford voted for II,
against objections from Senators Mel
son and Weeks. The latter two ex-
pect to make a minority report on this.
Embarrassing to Democrats.
The issue Of guaranteed deposits, thus
thrown into the situation. is one which
the Democrats have been trying to
evade until next session. 1t will be en-
barrassing to a number of Democratic
Senators, who have been preaching for
it, to vote against 1t.
day, IL the Hitchcock section of the
committee has completed its bill by
that time. The attempt will be made
then to shape up some sort of a report
stating the points in disagreement.
