Washington, D. c., Aug.1. -Asbury
Francis Lever, for IS years a repre-
sentative from the Seventh congress
sional district of South Carolina, at
o'clock this afternoon ceased to be a
member of congress.
In the presence of Mrs. Lever" little
Mary Catherine Lever, Senators smith
and Dial, the entire delegation from
South Carolina at present in Washing
ton with number of the agriculture
committee of the house and other
members of congress, Assistant secre-
tary Shouse, Judge Lobdell of the farm
loan board, and friends from South
Carolina in Washington, including B.
Hart Moss of Orangeburg, First As
sistant. Secretary LeffingWell, as mas
ter of ceremonies. had the oath
of Office administered to Mr.. Lever,
who thereby became a member Of the
farm loan board to fill q vacancy Of
five and a half years created by the
resignation of Herbert Quick, a noted
magazine writer and studert of farm
economics.
Shortly before noon today Congress-
man Lever dispatched the following
telegram to Governor Cooper:
81 hereby tender my resignation as
a representative in congress from the
Seventh congressional district Of
South Carolina to take effect August
l, 1919"
Immediately upon the convening of
the house, through friends, he placed
in the hands of Speaker Gillet the
following letter:
II have this day rendered my resig-
nation as a representative in con-
gress from the Seventh congressional
district of the State of South Caro-
lima to the governor of said State,
the same to have effect August first,
nineteen hundred and nineteen"
These formalities terminated his
long service in the house and elevated
him to a position second only to a
place in the cabinet, a place which,
from thought and experience, he is
regarded by his associates in con-
gress and elsewhere, as eminently
qualified to I'LL.
When Mr.. Lever was asked if he
desired to make any statement, he
said: II only desire to express to my
friends in the Seventh congressional
district, and the State, my deepest and
sircerest appreciation of their long anu
continued confidence in me. have
tried to serve them with fidelity and
earnestness. I leave service to enter
into a field of larger usefulness for
them and the country at large. I
want to express my thanks-it is
more than thanks-I can not describe
it, to each and all whose confidence in
me through the years has remained
steadfast and unshaken, and to say
that until my successor is elected /
wish the people of the district to know
that as far as it is possible for me
to do it shall be more than happy to
attend to their wants, and they may
reach me by addressing me in care
of the farm loan board at Washing
tom
Scenes of athletic parting evinced
the sincere affection in which Mr..
Lever is held by his associates at the
capitol.

KEY TO DEMOCRACY
pr. Thilly Tells Haverford COL
ege Graduates They Should
Work for All Mankind
EARNS AGAINST NEGLECT

Application of moral values in human
Z political relationships, whether they are
national or international, is the essence
0f democracy, declared Dr. Frank
Thilly today in his address to the seven
< teen graduates of Haverford College
at the commencement exercises.
Doctor Thilly is professor of philos-
ophy at Cornell University and dean
of the department of arts and sciences.
..The Patriotism of Peace" was his
theme.
The speaker warned against neglect
of the finer, ideal aspects of human
existence, and the invisible realities.
Germany, he said, is a sad illustration
Of the fact that the highest practical
efficiency may be linked with complete
bankruptcy of the soul.
Lacked Wisdom
s.The Germans knew everything aud
could do everything. but they lacked
WISDOM he declared. They did not
know and they could not appreciate the
power of the human heart. They had
no vision, so they cast aside restraint. !"
Defining the duty of the college. Doc
tor Thilly said that its purpose is not
to turn out upon the community selfish
individuals made more skillful in their
eelfishness, but to turn out men who will
be trained and disinterested leaders of
industrial and professional life.
Doctor Thilly's address followed the
announcement of prizes and honors, and
the. comforting of degrees upon the
graduating class.
