Of KNOX
PRESBYTERIAN
Be INSTALLED

At the Knox Presbyterian church
tomorrow, quite an imposing cere-
mony will be held at the night SER
vice when the new pastor, Rev. w.
E. McIlwain, will be duly installed as
pastor of the church. Rev. A. S.
Moffett, of the First Presbyterian
church, and other churchmen, will
take part in the ceremony.
At the morning service another eld-
er will be elected by the congrcga-
ton, and the pastor and officers hope
to see as large a representation OF
the membership as possible to take
part in this important event. The
new elder will be an additional Of
ficer, it having been decided that a
third such official is due the church
named.
On Monday at noon. Rev. and Mrs.
Mc1lwain contemplate leaving the
city for the Carolinas, to be absent
probably over two weeks. In the
meantime, 1T is stated, the pulpit at
the Knox church will be supplied
probably by local or Writing minis
ter. Rev. McIlwain has been so
busily employed in Florida for the
past several months that he has been
unable to visit relatives and frienos
in North Carolina, and now that this
work has been accomplished he has
resolved to take Mrs. McIlwain
through his old home state for a
couple of weeks.

ADVERTISING FLORIDA.

That advertising is the states greatest
need, is the opinion of Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher, expressed recently before the
Rotarians of Jacksonville.
Senator Fletcher declared that the time
was ripe for Florida to advertise her re-
sources to the world in paid advertising in
the newspapers and magazines if she would
reap the full benefit of her labors.
If Florida would advertise as California
is advertising her resources, the results
could not fail to be beneficial in every way.
But it is a fact that Florida takes entirely
too much for granted. Having been for
number of years exploited by conscience
less money sharks, whose sole idea was to
make money out of ignorant dupe for a
while Florida real estate transactions were
looked upon with more or less suspicion.
Then there came an era when, having
purged herself of these grafters and passed
laws for her own protection and that of
the investor who came to this state to cast
in with it's fortunes, Florida, basking in the
sunshine Of its own competency knowing
its opportunities great and its possibilities
unreasonable, said in effect: Here we
are! Take us or leave usP
Here and there some really progressive
individual or concern has gone steadily for
ward, advertising the resources of his state,
finding the truth good enough, without
establishment, and never falling, in every
possible way, to present Florida's case to
the world at large.
But most Of this advertising has been
done in an intermittent way, little really
constructive work having been accom-
plished.
And while Florida has blindly allowed
the public to overlook the many vast OPP
portunities in this part of the world, Cali
fornia has gone steadily onward, not be-
cause the possibilities of that section are
greater, not because the climate is kindlier,
not because it has anything more to offer
prospective capitalists in any way, but be-
cause it has learned that it pays to adver-
tise. And it pays to put this advertising
in newspapers and magazines.
1t is not difficult thing to make place
for anything worth while. But it is bat
tie to hold that place. Florida has put
| herself on the map of progress, but she
| ccnnot hold that situation if she does not
| fight for it, for while she is complacently
| telling herself how far she has gone, other
| states and other interests are rudely elbow
| ing her out of their way.
Florida is loved by those who know her.
| But the trouble is that so many people do
| not know her, and never will know her TN
| less she sends out her invitations, in the
| form of newspaper and magazine 1itera-
| tire, asS invite them to visit her and make
| themselves at homeland extend hearty
welcome after they get here

WILSON HELPLESS
TO Arm Ships
Ancient Statute Will Prevent
Action To Check I!-BOat
Ruthless War

Washington, March 4.-President
Wilson informed the country in a
statement, that he may be without
power to arm merchant ships and
take other steps to meet the Ger
man submarine menace, in the alb
sence of authority from Congress.
An exrta session of Congress, the
President says, is required to clothe
him with authority, but it is useless
to call one while the Senate works
under the present rules, which per-
mits a small minority to keep an
overwhelming majority from acting.
The President proposes therefore,
that the special session of the Sem
ate, which he has called to meet to-
morrow, revise the rules 'to supply
the means of action and save the
country from disaster"
"A little group of wilful men,"
says the President in his statement,
Representing no opinion but their
own, have rendered the great gov
ernment of the United States help
less and contemplate.
The Presidents statement in full
follows:
"The termination of the last ses-
sion of the Sixty-fourth Congress by
constitutional limitation discloses a
situation unparalleled in the history
of the country, perhaps unparallel-
ed in the history of any modern gov
eminent. In the immediate presence
of crisis fraught with more subtle
and far-reaching possibilities of ma
tional danger than any other the
government has known within the
whole history of its international
relations, the Congress has been un-
able to act either to safeguard the
country or to vindicate the. elemen-
tary rights Of its citizens. More than
five hundred of the five hundred
and thirty-one members Of the two
Houses of Representatives had act
ed, by an overwhelming majority;
but the Senate was unable to act be-
cause little group of eleven sena-
tors had determined that it should
not.
''The Senate has no rules by
which debate can be limited or
brought to an end no rules by which
diatory tactics of any kind can be
presented. A single member can
stand in the way Of action if he have
but the physical endurance. The re-.
suit in this case is a complete par
alysis alike Of the legislative and
executive branches of the govern
ment.

WOMEN WIN IN INDIANA

Indianapolis, Ind. March 4.-The
women of Indiana late today won
their fight for the ballot. The Mas
ten-McKinley Woman Suffrage bill
passed the House under suspension
of the rules by vote of 68 to Is.
The bill had already passed the
Senate by an overwhelming vote,
and it is now ready for the COVER
nor's signature.
The Maston Mckinley bill permits
women to vote for all except consti-
tutional officers. It will become eff
fective upon signature by the gov
ernor and his PRONUNCIATION Of the
acts Of the assembly in May.
Women Will first exercise the bal
lot in the selection of delegates to
the constitutional convention II
September.
The passage Of the bill marks the
triumph Of the Forward Lockers"
in the Indiana assembly, who had
set their goal fer the passage of a
constitutional convention bill, a
prohibition bill and woman suf-
frage bill. The suffrage bill is in the
last Of the three to pass both houses.

Two SENATORS
TALK IT TO Death
filibusier by Lafollette and
Stone Prevents Armed
Neutrality To Succeed

Washington, March 4.-Twelve
senator's, led by Senator La Toilette
and encouraged by Senator Stone,
democratic chairman of foreign re-
lations committee, in filibuster de-
nounced by President Wilson's
spokeman as the most reprehensible
in the history of any civilized ma
ton, defied the will Of an over
whelming majority in Congress up
to the last minute today and denied
to the President a law authorizing
him to arm American merchant
ships to meet the German submarine
menace.
Unyielding throughout twenty-six
hours of continuous session to ap-
peals that their defiance of the Pre-
sident would be humiliating to the
country; uncompromising in a crisis
described to them as the most seri-
Gus to the nations since the Civil
war, La Toilette and his small group
of supporters refused majority of
their colleagues an opportunity to
vote on the armed neutrality bill
and it died with the S;xty-Fourth
Congress.
To fix responsibility before the
country, seventy-six Senators, thirty
Republicans and forty-six Demo-
Gratis, signed a manifesto proclaim
ing to the world that they favored
passage of the measure.
"The text of the manifesto fol-
lows:
"The majority of the senate of
the United States favored the pas
sage of the Senate bill authorizing
the President of the United States
to arm Americana merchant vessels,
a similar bill having already bee
passed the House by vote of 4O3
to 13. Under the rules of the Senate
allowing unlimited debate, it ap-
pears to be impossible to obtain a
vote previous to noon, March 4.
1917, when this session of Congress
expires. We desire the statement
entered on the record to establish
the fact that the Senate favored the
legislation and would pass it if a
vote could be obtained"
Thirteen Senators declined to
sign the declaration, but one Of
them Senator Penrose, Republican
of Pennsylvania, announced that he
would have voted for the bill had
opportunity been afforded him. The
twelve who went on record with the
thirteen members of the House a.
gainst granting to President Wilson
the authority he asked from Con-
gress were:
Republicans-Clapp of Minneso-
ia, Cummins Of Iowa, Gronna Of
North Dakota, Kenyon of Iowa, La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Norris of Ne
braska and Works of California;.
Democrats-Kirby of Arkansas,
Lane of Oregon, O'Gorman Of New
York, Stone of Missouri and Var':a-
man of Mississippi-5.

HARRISON PLANTS
sold TO DUPONTS
Stockholders OF Paint and
Chemical Company
Sanction Sale
LAMMOT DUPONT TO
HEAD NEW CONCERN

AT a special meeting in Philadelphia
today stockholders of Harrison Brothers
and Company ratified the proposition to
sell their chemical and paint business
and plants as going concern to L. l..
DUPONT de Nemours and Company. It
is expected that the formal transfer
will be made as soon as possible.
The sale marks the union of two Of
the oldest and best known manufacture
ing firms in the country. The Harri-
sons date from 1903, and the duPonts
from 1902 The transfer to new own
ers will bring no radical change in the
conduct Of the paint business. This will
be continued by the new owners and tho
products hitherto turned out by the
Harrisons will continue to be made by
virtually the same organization.
Expansion is expected in the manu-
facture Of paints, colors, vanishes
and pigments as we'll as chemicals,
for the DUPONT interests will bring
TO the new organization resources
and experience that will increase the
efficiency Of the plants.
The paint and vanish business is
no new industry for the DUPONT or
ganizatlon. 1t alredy manufactures.
and has on the market a number of
enamels, lacquers and similar
| articles. II also manufactures large
quantities Of the basic materials used
in the manufacture of paints and
dyes. Benzol wood oil. fusel oil,
naphtha. ethyl and a great many other
| products have been produced by the
dupont plants apd have been on the
market for a long time.
The present Harrison plant on
Gray's Ferry Road, on the Schuyl-
kill River, covers forty acres. On
which there are eighty buildings.
Notable among these is a model lead
plant with an annual capacity of TO-
600 tons. The demand for chemicals
since the war has caused the company
to organize the Mantua Chemical Com
pany, whose works are at paulsborO,
New Jersey, on a tract of $50 acres,
through which flows Mantua Creek,
giving access to the Delaware River.
The company also owns a plant at
Sixth and Jackson streets, Camden,
New Jersey; and a pyrites mine in
Virginia
The price to be paid by the duPonts
Is S5,700,O00 in cash, the purchasers
assuming all the outstanding obliga-
tons of the company.
This provided sufficient funds 10

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor today declared
he is in favor of compulsory train
ing and service. either military or
industrial, provided voluntary service
is proved a failure.
Eve must have service" he told the
United Press. TT should be voluntary.
There must be no compulsory ser
vice enforced until every opportunity
is given to prove voluntary service
ineffective.
Though not forgetting the present
situation, we must still talk in terms
or peace, while the great conference
here pledged labor's service to the
country in any form whatever
But at the same time the resolu-
ton specifically declares the govern
ment must recognize the organized la
Dor movement as the agency through
which 1t must cooperate with wage
earners.
