A Quaker travelling in a

"Sir, thee seems we'll dressed,

The Quaker continued: Sup

of it myself, would thee?'
"Abominable! No. Such an offer
would be most insulting" 'Still
less would thee think of offer
ing me thy knife and fork to eat
with, after putting them into
thy mouth, would thee?" ''To do
that would be an outrage on all

READ WILSON'S MESSAGE.
Presidents Message to Congress
Should be Absorbed by Every
American Citizen

Every American citizen should
read President Wilson's message
to congress read in person to
that body last Tuesday. 1t
breathes patriotism in every
paragraph. Whether one agrees
with his every conclusion or not
such state papers as Woodrow
Wilson writes help raise the
standard of citizenship in this
country. They are lucid, terse,
inspiring and convincing. He is
the first president of the United
States able to write readable,
even absorbing messages.
His message of last Tuesday
was longer than he has been &C
customed to write, but was short,
as messages go. Briefly he de-
clared vigorously in favor Of
Development of our merchant
marine and opening the gate
ways of trade by the establish
ment of government merchant
ships, these to be taken over by
private owners as soon as trade
is established.
Strengthening of the national
guard as a means of national de-
Tense.
CURLING of extravaganza in
the expenditures of public
money. ~ -
A greater use of navigable
waterways.
Larger self government for
the Philippines.
Completion of the development
of our natural resources for the
benefit Of the people.
The maintenance of our time
honored policy of friendly rela-
tions with all nations.
The president declared with
equal vigor:
Against Compulsory military
service in times of peace.
Against turning America into
an armed camp.
Against a large standing ar
my.
Against making our young
men spend the best years of
their lives making soldiers of
themselves.
Against further legislation
curbing business.

Washington, Nov. 14.-While plans
for the American evacuation of Vera
Cruz on November 23 were being ear

avoided by the truce the Carranza and
Villa factions are reported to have en-

Professor Wendell P. Raine, of the
Wharton and Extension School facul-
ties. paid the local school a visit and
made the announcement before the class
that State Librarian Montgomery had
already secured twenty volumes each of
every text and reference book needed

next year as well. Mr.. Raine strongly
urged the class to take advantage of
this most unusual condition, thereby
showing DR.. Montgomery their ap2re-

the association will follow the scheme
so successfully carried out in Wilkes

consisted in the appointing of commit
tees on athletics, pins and button pub-
hcity, songs, employment, social func,
tions and debating.
Already the University Chronicle. the
