President Says Foundation
Has Been Laid for League

London, Dec. 2S.-President Will
son, speaking at historic Guild Hall
today, after he had been formally
welcomed to the city by the Lord
Mayor of London, said:
Mr.. Lord Mayor-We have come
upon times when ceren.o nies like this
have a new significance which most
impresses me as 1 stand here. The
address. which I have just heard is
most generously and graciously con-
ceived, and the delightful accent of
sincerity in it seems like a part Of
that voice of counsel which is now
everywhere to be heard. | feel that
distinguished honor has been con-
ferred.:upon me by this reception,
and beg to assure you, sir, and your
associates of my very profound ap-
probation But I know that 1 am
only part of what l may call great
body of circumstances. l do not be-
li.ve that it was fancy on my part
that heard in the voice of welcome
uttered in the streets of this great
city and in the streets of Paris some
thing more than personal welcome.
1t seemed to me that l heard the
voice of one people speaking to an
other people, and it. was a voice in
which one could distinguish a singu-
lar combination of emotions. There
was surely there the deep grateful
ness that the fighting was over.
There was the pride that the fighting
hadshad such a elimination. There
was a sort of gratitude that the ma
lions engaged had produced such
men as the soldiers of Great Britain
and of the United States and Of
France and of Italy-men whose
prowess and achievements they had
witnessed with rising admiration as
they moved from elimination to cul-
mination.
But there was something more in
it, the consciousness that the bust
ness is not yet done, the conscious
ness that it now rests upon others to
see that those lives were not lost in
; vain.
49, have not yet been to the actual
battle fields, but 1 have been with
many of the men who have fought
the battles. and the other day 1 had
the pleasure of being present at a
session of the French Academy when
they admitted Marshal Joffre to their
membership. That sturdy, serene
soldier stood and uttered, not the
words of triumph, but the simple
words of affection for his soldiers,
and the conviction which he summed
up in sentence which I will not try
accurately to quote, but reproduce in
its spirit, was that France must al
ways remember that the small and
the weak could never live free in the
xpFld rclees the strong and the great
iksir power and their

When this war began the thought

ness and write the sentences down?
And that l am particularly happy
that the ground is cleared and the
foundations laid--for we have alrea-

and definitely enough stated to make
their application matter when

Guilty. And back of it is that impeIa-
tive yearning OF the world 70 have
all disturbing questions quoted, to
have all threats against peace silenc-
ed; to have just men everywhere
come together for common object.
The peoples of the world want peace
and they want it now, not merely by
conquest of arms, but by agreement
of mind.
1t was this incomparably great OBJ

has never before been deemed ex-

States to leave the territory of the
United States, but l know that l have
the support of the judgment of my

United States in saying that it was
nv paramount duty to turn away
even from the imperative tasks at
home to lend such counsel and aid as
l could to this great-may l not say
enterprise of humanity.

Johnston in August, 1906 and lived
happily with him until the day Of her
death. OF this union two children
were born.
Mrs. Johnson was faithful to her
home life and to the race to which she
did great honor. She leaves her hus-
band, two children, a mother and a
father, two sisters three brothers and
host Of relatives and friends.
One very striking feature of this
sad occasion was noticeable and CON-
mendable and that was the loving de.
votion and tenderness exhibited by
DR.. Johnson. A private talk to him
by the writer is convincing that his
sorrow was most profound and
genuine. 1t reveals the fact that DR..
Johnston's ambition was to honor and
magnify the virtues of Mrs. Johnston
He lived in her affections and was pro-
trated with grief in her demise. He
had for some years devoted himself to
the practice of his profession and had
accumulated both money and property,
not for himself, but for the sake of
his wife and children. A fine example
Of love and devotion anywhere.
Dedicated to the memory of Mrs.
Azelia Perry Johnston by her sister,
Mrs. Bette Johnston Gardner, read
by Miss Pearlie Morton.

signed by the parents, and she. with
a committee Of the Parent Teachers
Association carried this petition to
the members Of the Board Of Educa-
ton.
The Superintendent, Prof Keys, lis
tened attentively to this committee
and some very good promises were
made to them. The President thinks
that the Parent Teachers Association
should be encouraged and work more
together.
The Board of Education will listen
to requests coming from such organi-
cations as Parent Teachers Associa-
lions as they fully believe that these
organizations will make no requests
except what is really needed for their
respective schools. Therefore the
Parent Teachers Association Of Pearl
High and Grammar school should get
together and with earnest work and
cooperation can do much good.
We invite every one to hear Rev. j.

OF our people are without patriotism.
They have no love for the best coun-
try under the sun, although that
country welcomed them from one
that had neither affection nor mercy
for them. When the land that has
made them all that they are and far
more than they had dreamed Of at
tanning, asks their comfort and help
in its hour of peril and need. do they
lay their all on the altar of Its serv-
ice as might be reasonably expected,
No. no indeed, but on the contrary it
finds 1t necessary to defend itself
against them. This is bitter pill
the bitterest pill Columbia has had to
swallow and the taste Of 1t will not
be soon forgotten. The future Ger
man newcomer, with a sad smile on
his face and two bits in his pocket
will have a hard time becoming one
of Uncle Sans family.

TOO HANDY WITH THEIR GUNS

Some deputy sheriffs seem to be q
little too handy with their guns
when they get in the neighborhood
Of Negroes. 1t seems as il they had
rather plug a Negro full of lead, than
do any other kind of thing. 1t seems
they have mania for shooting Ne
groes. They rather like it, Nothing
will happen to them If they should
happen to wipe out an entire Negro
settlement.
Out at the Federal Chemical plant
the other day, deputy shot Negro
in the back. Nothing done about it.
1t is said the Negro in question was
ATTENDING strictly to his own bust
ness too but a little thing like that
does not matter.
Hungry for filthy lucre, these
deputies Turk around where Negroes
are employed in ORDER that they
may fatten their purses on i'll gotten
fees. They care nothing for enforc-
ing the law, it is the fee, that's all.
When they are baffled in coercing
the Negro, why they shoot him.
We believe that the powers higher
up ought to put stop to these
deVilish deputies terrorizing the Ne
gro. These petty officers cause more
unrest, more dissatisfaction among
the laboring element than any other
evil agency. They are the cause of
the wholesale migration of the Ne
gro to the North and East. The Ne
gro wants to stay here and work, but
these deputies won't let them. They
harrass and worry the very soul Of
the Negro who remains.
Now we are glad to see the Daily
Commercial take up the cudgel in be-
half of the much abused Negro. We
hope good fruit may result from its
efforts.
Let the Negro Civic Organization
put this matter squarely before the
proper parties and see if there is any
balm in Gilead.
The Negro soldier is somewhere in
France, battling that the world may
be made safe for democracy
Let us try and make Nashville
safe for the humble Negro laborer
who tolls for his daily bread. Make
the Negro safe from prowling fee
grabbing deputy sheriffs.

Oh beautiful woman thou are,
Thou reigneth alone in my heart;
o, loveliest of women, seen or unseen,
Come, let me crown thee, my beautiful
queen.
Of hearts that are pure the purest was
thine.
Of eyes that were bright yours the
brightest would shine;
All straight pearly teeth, pretty and
white,
Kissable lips that spoke naught but
the right.
Hands, always ready good deeds to do,
Tripping feet to accompany them too;
Beautiful form was thine,
Graceful at all times, so sweet and
sublime.
0, peerless, Mother o, patient wife,
Bearing the burden the toll and the
strife;
Dearest of sisters, truest of friends,
Pearly gates await thee, angels attend.
While sad is the parting, o, lovelitse
of all,
Withe reverent hearts we bow to the
call;
The rich and the poor through the
valley of DEATH
Must pass ere they reach the haven of
rest.
The poet might say your life was
"a dream"
Yet none will compare with it, my
beautiful queen;
Sweet mansions of bliss wait thee
on high,
Well meet ne'er to part at our home
in the sky.
Sleep on dear one in that last blessed
sleep,
None, none shall disturb thee in thy
peaceful retreat;
write blessed are they who die in the
Lord,
Is the Masters oracle, His most Holy
Word.
Come, come all we weary or laden with
grief,
Seek solace and comfort in the balm
of relief
Hank, bark stranger appears, trust
Him,
Then open the door and welcome Hin
