VIRGINIA WANTS
THE UNIVERSITY
Ashland Suggested as Ideal
Place for Methodist
Institution.
COMPETING
Conference Names Committee to Lo-
cate University at Some Point East
of Mississippi.

Richmond, June 23.-Virginia has a
splendid opportunity to secure WITHIN
its borders the location of a great
Methodist University to be establish
ed soon at an enormous expenditure
bv the General Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
at some point east of the Mississippi
river to take the place Of Vandero'lt
University, whose control by reason
Of q recent court decision has been
lost to the church. AS far as Can be
learned, Virginia Methodlsts nave
made no effort as yet to secure the
institution, but it is thought that
this State will certainly enter the race
within short time.
Bishop Collins Denny, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, said
yesterday that he had no idea as to
what action would be taken by the
commission appointed by the general
conference to select the location Oh
the university but personally nc
thought Virginia has a good chance
of landing it, provided Virglnlans are
awakened to the necessity of speedily
taking action in the matter. 1t IS
understood that plans have already
been laid by Georgia and the Caro-
,linas in an effort to secure the uni
versity, but the commission appoint
ed to decide the matter has given out
nothing as to ITS plans.
From. statements. given out 'bv or
fclals OF the Methodist Church the
university soon to be established
would distinguish any section wherein
it may be placed. Something of the
far-reaching effect which the univer-
sity will have upon the educational
and religious life of the South will be
realized with the statement that those
in charge of the project propose 10
expend at first the sum Of S5,OOO,OOO
with the probability of making the IN
stitution twice as great little later
on. One hundred acres or more would
probably be needed for the plant, and
it is believed that at least fifty acres
would be absolutely necessary as q
site. Nothing has been said as tc
whether city or county will have
preference in the matter Of selecting
Ia site.
Many believe that should Virginia
enter the race, Ashland will bt
urged byVirginia Methodists as being
the logical point for locating thE
greater institution.

While there has beer slight lul!
in activities toward raising funds for
new Alexandria Hospital on account
of the .reeting of the Virginia Press
IAssociation, those interested in the
proposed structure are not sleeping on
their oars land ways and means OF
raising about ten thousand dollars IN
order to bring the subscriptions up
to fifty thousand dollars are still in
evidence.
Six subscriptions were made today
toward the edifice ,and these occa-
casional donations, small though they
be, are keeping the tide slowly rising
all the time.
The work of the committee, which
began on the 18th of April, has
brought forth abundant fruit, much
more than it was supposed could be
produced in so short a time. The m

With the Editors
D TO THE REAR.

Poor Col. Roosevelt! RELOCATED by
the war to the back pages of the
newspapers, his long announced
experimenting" speech in New Or
leans will, we fear, stir the pulses
of but few. We must frankly say,
after a careful perusal of such ex-
tracts as have appeared, that there
is little in it calculated to rock the
nation. Once more the ardent ap-
peal for social justice is wanting, as
it has been lacking ever since the Col
onel returned from South America,
to discover, apparently, that the pub.
lie was in no further mood for what
the term had come to signify. In
stead, we have an attempt to rouse
L~ouisianians to mutiny and rage on
the sugar issue. But, 10, his COM
plant here is not so much that the
industry has been killed, but that it
was not allowed to die by degrees,
if die it must, or to live or feebly
with Government aid withdrawn. AS
for the Democratic party, at the very
moment when it is unwisely making
the extraordinary concessions to Ia
Dor contained in the Clayton bill, the
Colonel declares that ut has done
nothing whatever for labor" Coming
to the tariff and the Trusts, the party
has shown by its action in regard
thereto that ut is not fit to u the
Government" showing mot the faint
est symptom of a real understanding
Of the needs Of the people" All OF
which ranting will only confirm the
belief Of those who feel that the
ColoneTs usual political talent has
quite gone %glimmering these last few
months. The swing around the circle
he is taking ought to show even a
man of Col. Roosevelts power OF
s~elf-deception how apart he is from
the popular sentiments Of the day
New York Post.

THE RIGHT MOVE.

Special commentator is due the
board Of county commissioners for
the manner in which the system OF
bridges ig being revamped.
All new bridges are being built on
section lines where old structures off
the proper positions have given out.
This has in certain instances pro-
yoked opposition on the part of those
who desire to preserve the old roads.
It would be shortsighted policy on
the part OF the commissioners to build
new bridges on private land. The
time might come when such location
OF bridges might Il considerable
embarrassment and no small expense
to the county.
No fair-ninded person can criticize
the action Of the county officials. 1t
Is merely good business judgment.
In time the new lines will become
established and no one Is put to any
serious Inconvenience in the mean
time.

HANG OUT YOUR FLAGS.

Citizens Of Bismarck should join in
the general celebration Of the writing
Of Star Spangled Banner" by flying
their flags tomorrow.
The nation will pay tribute to the
composer and the sentiments express,
ed, on Monday. .
We are celebrating more than fifty
years OF peace; il the Spanish-Amer-
lean embroglio is excepted, and 1t is
ore than 100 years since a foreign
foe endangered our shores. It is
especially fitting at this time that the
nation should honor the creator of
that song, which has thrilled the
hearts OF millions.
Bismarck should unfurl it's flags to
the breezes tomorrow No formal ex.
ercises have been arranged, but the
least we can do is to run up Old
Glory to full mast.

through the various missions for the
alienation OF the sick and unfortu-
nate.
AS a nation we are neutral. We
feel no craftsmanship for any OF the
warning nations-only sympathy for
all OF them in this terrible Crisis
Whatever the individual opinion may
be, the nation must be impergonal in
this great strife and the sending OF
the good ship Red Cross is an ex-
preston OF this neutrality and re-
fleets infinite credit upon those be-
hind the worthy project.

SIGNS.

That the warning nations are ap-
pealing to the United States to see
that the regulations Of war as de-
termined at the various Hague con-
ferences are adhered to, only indi.
Gates the role this nation eventually
must play in restoring peace.
1t is not likely that President Will
son will go into the merits Of these
complaints. This country surely can
not afford to act as an umpire in this
bloody struggle. Foreign entangle-
ments are bound to result if any posi-
tive stand is taken upon the petitions
which are bound to be addressed to
this nation from time to time while
this war continues.
President Wilson doubtless will
handle the situation in a way that
will keep this nation in it's straight
course Of neutrality. The warning
nations should enter our courts Of d.
plomacy only as suitors for peace. We
have no interest in deciding whether
the regulations Of war are being fol-
lowed or not anymore than we could
be expected to pass upon the right Of
Germany to violate the neutrality Of
Belgium.
Atrocities and brutalities are twin
brothers Of war. Any nation that at
tempts to arbitrate these questions
will get its own fingers pinched in
the process.

Readers Column

There are no doubt many who know
of "The Gideons" and their work, but
for the benefit Of the uniformed it is
stated that they n a society OF
Christian travelling men, who have
banded together for Christian work
and to reach especially the other
travelling men in their territory.
Their emblem is the pitcher with
the lighted torch, and their motto,
"And every man stood in his place."
and wherever you find a man wearing
the pitcher you find n who is ready
for any Christian work.
Among other work that this society
has undertaken is the placing of a
Eible in guest rooms of every hotel
in the United States and Canada, and
nothing ever attempted has been
more %favorably commented on, or
brought more wide commentator
from all classes Of society.
"The Gideons' of North Dakota
we're among the first to take up this
work and have already placed 270O
bibles in the state, and it is their
purpose to complete this work in the
next 80 days.
In order to do this they are ap-
pealing to their friends throughout
the state, and the secretary-treasur-
er, w. D. Gillespie of Fargo, has al
ready sent out appeals asking for aid
in this laudable work, for while the
Gideons are willing to give their time,
they have not the funds, as none Of
them have very much Of this worlds
goods; so when you receive a call or
if you read this, send in a nice sub
scription for yourself and see some
Of your friends and thus aid n a very
fine work and make the boys happy.

SPYING ON BIG BUSINESS.

Federal espionage on big business
Is legalized through the trade COM
mission bill just approved by the SEN
ate in the adoption Of the conference
report.
Not content with a multiplicity of
commissions, both state and federal,
another is conceived and soon will
be delivered.
The body will consist Of five men,
bers appointed by the President.
Each member will draw a salary Of
$4,000 a year. 1t is empowered:
"To Investigate from time to time
THE Organization, Business Prac-
tees and Management Of any corpor-
alton engaged in commerce excepting
banks and common carriers"
The New York Herald hits the nail
on the head in the following com
ment:
"This new mentor Of business
will have power to exact periodic
and special reports and to copy
documents Of any corporation 1t
Is Investigating. Any member Of
this commission may issue sub
poenas and administer oaths, and
it may make public in its dis
erection any information it OBJ
tains except trade secrets and
names Of customers
"This extraordinary inquisitor-
ial commission is also empower
ed to prevent unfair methods of
competition in commerce. A spe-
cial dispatch from Washington
says this body is expected in
time to rank in dignity and i'm q.
portance with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. It will
be strange indeed if it does not
far exceed this prediction.
GAS the houses restriction of
its powers to corporations Of
more than $4,000, 900 capital has
been stricken out, the numberless
smaller firms doing business un-
der corporate form are placed
largely at the mercy Of the five
men who will compose this com.
mission"

pearing as "The Only Son." Down
in New York City a father is so busy

wife, who becomes interested in an
artist, while her son decided to go
with her when the husband drives
her from the house. Later the son
invents a valuable machine which he
sells to his father at a great increase
in price, proving his financial ability
and at the same times convinces the
father that his mother is innocent,

gathering. 1t is an excellent call to
arms:
O who is he the simple fool
Who says that wars are over.
What bloody portent flashes there
Across the Straits Of Dover?
Are you ready, Britons all,
To answer yes with thunder?
Arm! Arm! Arm!
Nine hundred thousand slaves in arms
They seek to bring us under
But England lives and still will live
For we'll crush the despot yonder~-

In addressing a London audience
Rudyard Kipling declared recently:
1T is not conceivable that we
should fail. If we do fail the lights
Of freedom go out over the whole
world"
TO an American this sounds like
mere twaddle.
Whatever nation wins in this strug-
gle the cause of freedom and democ-
racy as opposed to monarchy and
autocracy is bound to advance.
A German victory will not mean a
destruction of liberty or a turning
back in the path of progress.
All fair minded men resent the
sentiments as expressed by Kipling
but he is to be forgiven on the
grounds Of natural bias.
