ROOSEVELT'S MEMORY

n n his very latest magazine
TRADE against President
Wilson for not having led
this country into the European
conflict, Colonel Roosevelt says
among other things;
"Over a year ago l pointed
out that it was the duty of the
United States to champion
the integrity of the neutral
rights of Belgium (Which had
received the sanction of The
Hague convention to which the
United States was a signatory)
against the 1awless conduct
of belligerent Germany"
But, as pointed out by the
Boston Post, the colonel ne
elects to make mention of the
provisional statement offered
by the United States commits
sioners to the 1907 Hague con-
vention, which said:
Nothing contained in this
convention shall be so con-
strued as to require the United
States of America to depart
from its traditional policy OF
not intruding upon, interfering
with or entangling itself in the
political questions of policy OF
internal administration Of any
foreign state" "

part of the record Of The

A CALL FOR OUR TRADE

NAAHILE the United States
IL is busily extending hef
trade relations in many
directions it is interesting to
note that other countries seem
very eager to do business with
this country. Evidence of
which is had in the campaign
underway in India right now to
secure more goods from this
country.
The Caluctta Statesman, the
Leading paper of India, is TAX
ing the lead in this campaign
and sums up its arguments in
the following brief summary
l. In 1909-10 the United
States bought goods from In
dia to the value of S48,335,-
900. In 1874 the value of
these purchases had risen to
S72,590,000-an increase of
66 per cent.
2. In 1909-10 the United
States sold goods to India to
the value of S12,260,000; and
in 1884 this item rose tc
S15,965,0 ,00O-an increase OF
only 25 per cent.
8. Why should the Ameri.
can trader buy five times as
much from India as he sells tc
her?
4. India imports from other
countries goods to the annua
value of S610,835,0 900. Why
should not America secure
larger share than one-fortietf
Of this trade?

ELECTED TO PROFESSORSHIP
Rev. E. D. Kerr, To Fill Chair Of
Christian Ethics at Columbia

The State.

The State.
The Rev. Edgar D. Kerr, A NJ, B.
D., of Newberry will assume at the
opening of the next session the newly
erected chair of Christian ethics and
apologetics in Columbia theological
seminary. The president of the SEM
mary, the Rev. Thornton Whaling,
D. D., said yesterday:
"The board of directors at its re
cent meeting founded the chair Of
Christian ethics and apologetics, as
an addition to the curriculum. 1t is
believed that the founding of tits
chair, marks a decided step in the
progress of the work of the seminary
and of this section of the church.
The whole field of Christian ed1ics
needs more thorough study and in
vestigation than it has yet received
and the full time of a professor ought
to be given to this work.
"This field includes not only the
whole subject of theoretical and spec
ulative ethics, but also practical
ethics and in particular it is from
this viewpoint, that the entire field of
sociology, as taught from the Chris
tian and Biblical point of view, is to
be considered. 1t is particularly i'm
portant that this field should be
taught from tie we'll balanced and
conservative and at the same time
progressive point of view of Chris
tian leader, who shall canvass the
whole subject with the Biblical ethic
as the guiding principle that organ
;zes his subject. Certainly this par
ticular realm is commanding the in
terest of the church and of the pub
lie at large and this field should be
carefully taught under the instrue-
ton Of competent and well qual1hed
teacher.
'"Ihe seminary is to be congratul-
lated upon securing for t-is work
one OF its most gifted young alumni,
the Rev. Edgar D. Kerr, A. NJ, B. D.,
now pastor at Newberry. He has
a distinguished record at David
son college and at the Columbia SEM
mary and also as special student for
some time at Princeton Theological
seminary. He has the warm indorse-
ment of all the faculty, has proven
great success in the ministry, and
comes to this chair with every pros
pect of distinguisj: ed success in con-
ducting this field"

rushing back and forth on two floors
of the great building. After the first
rumors of a bomb, some Of the in

A strong odor permeated the build

thing else which might have caused
the explosion.
Superintendent Wood said he had
examined the structural features Of
