Head Of Yale Divinity School Asks for Square Deal for Workineman
ADAM AND VANDERBILT
Expresses opinion That Muiti-,iil- lionaire Did Not Render Service To Humanity Entitiing Him To $780, 0O0.00o-snole Flag Of Piracy or Cloud of Promise.

A plea for better understanding fe- tween employers and employees was made at the Russwin Lyceum yester- day afternoon by Rev. Dr. Charles k. Brown. dean of Yale Divinity school. He spoke under the auspices of the Industrial Council Of the r. N. C. A. In part. he said;
 The final forces in human society are also the spiritual forces. Here is a knife made of the finest tempered steel. It has no power of itself. Ii Is only a tool This knife depends upon the moral purpose which wills whether 1t shall be used as a help to serve the surgeon, housewife or crim- inal. It may be used to save life. The same knife in the hands of q criminal or madman might just as readily be used to destroy life.
 ''The civilization of Central Europe did not go to smash in the summer of 1914 because they did not know any better and 1t was not lack of brains, money or skill because the world was never so rich as it has been during the past goth century. Civilization went to smash for lack of character. People were not good enough to do things that ought to be done. They were not good enough and so for lack of character the civ ilization of Europe went to smash and no man Is quite brave enough to state whether or not the powers of retri- button were not sufficient to put them back where they were before the war. The spiritual forces were wrong and recovery at this hour Is being held back not because of lack of money or skill, but by the spirit of fear. of dis trust, of vindictiveness between man and man, between class and class, be- tween land and land. They are not good enough to replace the spirit o. antagonism with the spirit of coop eration and good will.
 We have suffered very much less from the war than any other coun- try. We have but one debt, Engla It two and France three. We have not suffered as they did in the war but the problem Is practically the same. We lave resources enough. men enough. and economic powers enough to cover this country from sea to sea with prosperity but the country is not

 two years ago, in an address here last night declared:

Suggests Removal To Board Of Education Rooms On
 New Property

T. E. Huey recommended at Fri days meeting of the board of rev enue that the county lease a small building 6n the proposed court house site for use by the board of educa- tion, the highway engineer and one or two other officials now housed in the basement of the court house. No definite action was taken on his recommendation, but he was in structed to investigate the matter further and report.
 Mir. Huey proposed that the board of revenue office be moved to the rooms now used by the board of , education and that the present board of revenue rooms be used for other purposes. The highway engineer now has an office outside the court house, for which the county pays SITS a month. The difference In rem tal between the two places would amount to a considerable saving for the county, he said.
