A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

TODAY is the sixth anniversary of
Americas declaration of a state
of war with Germany. On this day,
in 1917, President Woodrow Will
son issued his proclamation plunging
America into the great war on the
side of humanity and right a war
which this nation had striven to
avoid.
Today a national memorial to
Woodrow Wilson, in the form of the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation, is be-
ing built to his memory. The Foun-
dation seeks through a system of pc
riodic awards for great public serv-
ice to perpetuate the ideals which
are recognized as the very essence of
Mr.. Wilson's craftsmanship and the
embodiment of the principles of true
democracy.
Of the fund of 81, 100000 or more
which, is sought as the endowment of
tliC w ooulOW w IlSOl Awards, ABOUT
100000 has been raised up to the
present time. At least 100000
more is sought. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 persons, Democrats
and Republicans alike, have already
made their contributions to the fund.
But there must be thousands, per
haps even millions, of others who
reed only to be reminded that the
opportunity is still open for them
to become founders of what have
been called "America's Own Nobel
Prizes"
The Times Recorder undertook
some weeks ago to handle donations
to this fund. A number of gifts
were received locally and forwarded.
None have come for some time. If
there be any who still wish to have a
part in this worthy enterprise, this
great ideal, the Times-Recorder will
be glad still to accept and forward
gifts.

people in my church have always stood
loyalty by me. This has not affected the
church at all The members have al
ways been with me. The ladies who
went out at the meeting said they
would not stay to hear such accusa-
tions being made against me. They
came back and voted later. The spirit
of the congregation has been fine.
This meeting came about when I
preferred charges against Mrs. Day. I
had to do something to stop the slar-
der. This is the eighth time on com
mittees and otherwise that my accus-
ers have been beaten. The church con-
siders that the thing has been settled
so far as Mrs. Day is concerned, and
! feel vindcated."
Mrs. Day emphatically denied ycstcr-
day that she had had any opportunity
to appear before the committees to
back her charges. She described her
trial and expulsion as utterly unfair
81 he joint board Of trustees and
dcacons were appointed and instructed
to hear and report on charges against
the pastor as we'll as any charges that
he mirht make against MEMBERS" said
Mrs. Day. "They heard the charges made
by him against members, but refused to
hear the charges made against the pas
tor although the were written and
signed charges, with the names of wit
nesses given on fifteen points.
They refused to accept the minority
report presented by three of the mem
bers of the joint board and also laid
on the table the minority report pre-
scented by another member of the Joint
board. Without having heard any
charges against the pastor they passed
vote of confidence There was abso.
lutely no fair play in the meeting. as
they did not do the things for which
they were created.
"As for the charge that did not ap-
pear to substantiate my charges at any
of the meetings, my last letter to the
joint board stated that l was willing to
appear if | had proper notice and at a
convenient time, not before January 6.
never heard anything after that. No
request was ever made to me 20 appear
after acceptance of my letter"
According to Mrs. Humiston, another
Baptist minister is involved in the
charges. Several other prominent mem
bcrs of the congregation will be cx-
pelled within the next few days, she
declared.
