WOULDLEND MONEY
FOR THEIR TUITION
FIGHT ON FREE TUITION AND
SCHOLARSHIPS TAKES NEW
ANGLE IN SENATE.

Columbia, January 28.-Special
The fight on free tuition and scholar
ships in State colleges was given an
other angle to-day when Senator
Werner introduced in the Senate a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the
purpose of loaning to needy students
and abolishing the present scholar
ships and tuition. Under the bill
the money will be divided between
boys and girls, and one applying for
it must get a certificate signed by
two neighbors and the cashier of
their home bank that they are unable
to pay tuition. The students who
qualities can go to any college, either
denominational or State, as they
wish. The ones getting the money
are to give their notes endorsed by
their parents or guardians and the
notes are to be repaid to the State
when the student quits college either
at graduation or otherwise. 1t is
further provided if the student is
not doing good work he or she is liza
BILE to be dismissed and must then
repay their tuition.
The amount to be loaned to any
one student is limited to $12 per
month, and not over 500 in one
year. The requirements for eligi-
bility to compete for this loan is very
stringent.
The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on education, of which Sena-
tor Sinkler, of Charleston, is chair
man.

Excerpts From Speech
by Wilson at Cleveland

suppose this country has never
found itself before in so singular a
position. = Two-thirds of the
world are at war. All the world
outside of America is on fire.
This is a struggle which will de.
termine the history of the world, I
dare say, for more than a century
to come.
The world will never be the same
again after this war is over. The
change may be for veal or it
may be for woe, but it will be fun
damental and tremendous.
1t is very difficult for US to hold
off and look with cool judgment
upon such tremendous matters. =
1t has not been easy for the Gov
eminent at Washington to avoid
these cntanglements which seem to
beset it on every side. 1t has
needed a great deal of watchfulness
and unremitting patience to do so.
You have laid upon me this dor-
BILE obligation. "We are relying
upon you, Mr.. President, to keep US
out of this war, but we are relying
upon you to keep the honor of the
nation unstained."
You may count upon my heart
and resolution to keep you out of
the war, but you must be ready if
it is necessary that l should main
tain your honor.
We are, interested in knowing
that there are men all over the
United States prepared, equipped
and ready to 60 out at the call of
the National Government upon the
shortest possible notice. You will
ask me, "Why do you say the short
est possible notice?" Because, gen.
tlemen, let me tell you very SOL
emnly, you cannot afford to post
pone this thing. I do not know
what a single day may bring forth.

WILSON URGES
QUICK ACTION
WARNS THAT DANGERS ARE
INFINITE AND CON-
STANT."

Cleveland, Jan. 29.-The necessi-
ty for quick action was made the
keynote of President Wilson's pre-
paredness addresses in Pittsburgh
and Cleveland on the first day of his
weeks tour of the middle west. De-
claring that 1--WE are in the midst Of
a world we did not make and cannot
alter" he said it was his duty to
inform the people that dangers are
Infinite and constant" .,
New circumstances, he said, had
arisen which made it necessary that
this country prepare itself not for
war nor aggression but for adequate
national defense. Americas neglect
to build merchant ships Had left the
country dependent on other neutrals
to carry United States commerce and
where ordinary rules of commerce at
sea were apt to be thrust aside "there
is danger of more critical kind Of
controversy" .-
Saying that people who come to
the White House assert that the ma
ton is counting on him to keep the
United States at peace and in the
same breath insist that be maintain
the honor of the United States. The,
President asked, "Have you reflected
that the time might come when I
could not do both? Are you ready to
stand behind the government for the
maintenance of the honor of your
country"
He criticised the advocates Of
"peace at any price" and also advo-
Gated a large standing army. Ma
tional defense, he explained, was not
a party matter, saying he was sorry
the issue arose in presidential
campaign year because of the danger
that politics might cloud it:
Congress, he said, would do its
part but the issue really lay with
the young men who should volunteer
and their employers who should
not hinder them from responding.
The president spoke at two meet
ings today at Pittsburgh and one
tonight at Gray's Armory here. He
will spend Sunday in Cleveland,
leaving at midnight for Milwaukee
to speak there Monday.
In his speech tonight the presi-
dent spoke with greater gravity than
marked the Others. America is not
afraid of anybody" he said, "the on
ly thing I'm afraid of is the danger
of inadequacy. Let me tell you
solemnly you cannot postpone this
thing. I do not know what a single
day may bring forth" :
For the first time he spoke of the
navy and coast defenses. He said ex-
perts agree the United States navy
ranks fourth and defenses good in
quality but "not" quantity.

APPROPRIATION BILL
LESS THIS TIME
MEASURE SENT IN BY CHAIR
MANLILES Earlier THAN
EVER BEFORE.

Columbia, January 29.-Special :
The general appropriation bill went
into the House to-day and Chairman
Lilies has the distinction of having in
troduced this most important meas
ure earlier than it has ever before
been presented. The committee men,
bers, Chief Clerk Malcolm Miller and
Mr.. J. C. Townsend, chief clerk of
the engrossing department, all work
with persistency to get the bill into
the House to-day so that it could be
ready for consideration on Monday.
ing with persistency to get the bill in
that it provides for tax levy of 19
mills, which is to cover all of the eX-
penses of the State Government. Not
withstanding the very heavy demands
the appropriation bill shows a net
reduction in the total of $79,260.80.
It will be interesting to note how
continuously the appropriation bill
has hung around the two million dol
lar mark. These figures will be in
teresting:
1914 - --$2,213,675.
1915 - - 2,463,759.82
1916 ,384,499.O2
It is very much easier to under
take to make reductions in an ap-
preparation bill than it is to ac-
complish this.
Chairman Lilies in talk with the
newspaper men after the introduc-
ton of the bill had this comment to
make:
Liles's Comment.
"The committee has faithfully en-
deavored to serve the best interest of
the State. We did not appropriate in
accordance without desires, but we
believe we appropriated as the condi-
ton of the States finances justified.
The most careful consideration has
been given every item and we feel
sure that the actual needs of every
department and every institution
have been supplied, and we think we
have provided funds for extension
and improvements where the needs
for such were great. The work of
the committee has been absolutely
harmonious. All differences were
settled in the committee room and
we are ready to stand by our work.
! cannot speak too highly of the
faitkfuIness of the members of the
committee. 1t has been dav and
night job since January IL. We are
hopeful that the results of our efforts
will prove satisfactory to the people
of the State. 1t will be noted that
for ordinary State purposes we have
appropriated less than $2,000,000.
The amount for pensions and for the
improvement of the State Hospital
for the Insane, increases the total as
shown. We have carried out the
resolution of the committee to keep
the amount raised by levy within
$2,000,000 and have reduced the
levy one-half mill"
The appropriation bill is a very
long document, consisting of forty
two itcmized sections. but the follow
ing recapitulation will show where
the committee expects the State to
use its funds.
