STOP IT.

There is a Negro preacher styling
himself as the "Black Billy Sunday"
We wonder if it is necessary to style
himself in that way in order to make
a success of his calling. We are sor-

to prove what the white folks say
of us, the Negro at his best is an
"imitator" Now couldn't this fellow
preach as effectively and lift just as
good a collection without this Black
Billy Sunday business? Hasn't he
merit and originality enough to de-
liver the gospel goods without all the
Blak Billy Sunday Tommy rot?

on his own hind legs without trying

DO WE AFFECT?

In his letter to Senator Oyerman
expressing his hostility to the Cham.
berlin spy bill, President Wilson re-.
ferred to the Germans as people we
are hghting and affecting to despise "
Since the President is perhaps the
most careful writer that ever the
WHITE House has seen for a goodlv
time, there is room to wonder what
Is meant by that. To affect is to pre-
tend Does the President mean that
Americans are pretending to despise
certain qualities of the Germans? We
do not despise these qualities and
ne cynically tells us that our affect.
ed despising of the qualities is all a
gigantic bluff" Does the Presidents
Judicial attitude carry him so far that
ne cannot see the essential difference
between the American people and the
German people-nothing among the
things that Americans possess that
entities us to be full of pride, nothing
among the things that are peculiarly
German which justifies us in looking
down upon them?
Surely that was not the Presidents
meaning. Surely he does despise
along with the rest of us the German
spirit that led Louvain Dinant, the
cavell murder, the Belgian and French
deportations, the use of poison gas,
the bombing of women and children
the devastating of conquered regions.
the hypocrisy of Brest.Litovsk. the
confinement of Armenian massacres.

mends the establishment of new

put on a basis of six months train
Ing, not three, and would pick older

Forgetting altogether the petty and

appear wise and prudent? Maj. Gen.
Wood has great respect for German

GEN WOOD RECOMMENDS

Maj Gen. Leonard Wood was not
called into conference by the Presi
dent, Notwithstanding or perhaps be.
cause of the insistence of the senate
military affairs committee that he be
called. Nevertheless the public need
not feel itself in doubt as to what
the general would have recommended
il he had seen the president. The
statements later published that he
made before the senate committee
were Illuminating. AS a subsequent
to which the general submitted in
Kansas City, on his way back to
Kansas, amplified those statements in
several respects. We should have an
army of 100000 men in training,
SAID the general. That figure includ.
es those now under arms. Half of
the 100000 should be got to Europe
as speedily as ships could be found
to carry them, he contends.
I'VE have no right to think this
will be a short war;" he asserted.
I'VE are facing people who are all
efficient and all powerful in the art
of war. Until we can face them on
equal terms we cannot turn the tide.
We have only begun to draft our man
power. The drafts in the future will
be larger and larger, and we might
as well prepare for it.

Dear Sir:
| find on reading the report of the
Davidson Co. Teachers meeting which
was held in the Court house, Nash
vile, Tenn, that there were several
typographical errors.
AS | am the reporter, ask that
the following corrections be made in

Paper on Language, by Miss Cecile
Mahaffey and not Cecile Mai Haffey
Teachers duty to the Institute,
Mrs. Mamie P. Porter, not Minnie P
Porter.
On reporting Prof. j. Ira Watson's
address an injustice was done him
in an error which says that he is a
grouchy pessimist, any one having
heard Prof. Watson at any time
know that he is an optimist, and the
statement should have been, His
humorous addresses will make even
a grouchy pessimist see the silver
