DR. CHASE ELECTED HEAD STATE UNIVERSITY
The Idea of Electing Only North Carolinian
Frowned Upon.
Raleigh, June 16 Dr H W
Chase, chairman of the faculty
of the university, tonight re
ceived 41 votes for the presiden
cy on the second ballot, on. the
third the posse -coraifcitus gave
him unanimous election, and the
trustee meeting was over.
The sudden termination of the
most interesting university con
test in more than a century came
when Governor Bickett called
for Judge Jarries S Manning's
construction of tho statutp. The
attorney general had been -asked
for his' opinion of the act restrict
ing eligibility of trustees of state
institutions to hold office whiie
holding trusteeships. Judge
Manning unhesitatingly gave his
office to the view that no trustee
could go up, Down went Secre
tary Josephus Daniels and R D
W Connor.
Until that time the Connor
men believe they could have
polled 45 of the 7o-odd votes in
town. Ttieir show of strength
was not so impressive? The con
struction of Judge Manning was
put to test and a liberal Connor
contingency stood against it
The House overwhelmingly stood
by Manning and the ballots be
gan.
On the initial ballot Chase ro
ceived 26, Dr H E Rondthaler. of
Winston-Salem, 22; Prank Le
rond. of Kentucky, 9; Henderson
4; Ivey Lewis, 2; Herman Har
rell Home, 2. On the second
; t ui. tit jt . . j
game was over. The third bal
lot was unanimous choice and
the trustees, who had been in
session since 3 o'clock, adjourn
ed for tomorrow night when they
hold their regular meeting on
the Hill"
The election of Dr Chase fol
lows four months of active ad
ministration which has been a
surprise to his friends. The
faculty sentiment for him
was strong. It may be said
that the North Carolina idea was
not potent. The trustees seem
etl to resent the suggestion that
onlv a North Carolinian should
be chosen. They did not 'fall
for' the southern man argument
and they chose a Massachusetts
citizen.
The meeting had its. humors.
No newspaper man got nearer
than George Washington's
statue, but occasional outbursts
were audible over town. Gus
Price nomination Archibald Hen
derson and casting one of the six
votes in vain sought to interest
tho assembly of 76 in the most
distinquished man of letters
grown in North Carolina in 100
years. "Elect him Yale and
Harvard Cambridge, Oxford,
Paris, the educational world will
acclaim your wisdom " Price
thundered, but the trustees were
adamant.

counter , proposals to the peace
treaty tonight are in the hands
of count von Brockdorff Rant
zau, who is on his'way to Weimer
there to present to the German
national assembly the final words
of the victors in war.
Few changes have been made
in the revised peace treaty. The
original contentions ofpt he allied
and associated powers have vir
tually been maintained intact
Five days was the allotted peiiod
originally fixed for the Germans
to answer yes or no to the de
mands of the allies . But two
days additional have been grant
ed because of the insistence of
the German delegation that not
sufficient time had been allowed
for proper consideration of the
revised terms. Thfe will extend
the tine limitation to Monday,
June 23 If Germany's reply is
yea the tresty will be signed, if
the demands of the armistice will
be automatically terminated and
the allied armed forces will take
whatever steps they deem re
quisite to the occassion.

The covering notes severely
castigate Germany for protesting
against the treaty on the ground
that the treaty conflicts with the
terns of the armistice. M Clem

occupies today in the estimation
of the world for being responsi

greatest crime against humanity

Good Advice for Cities and Countries as Well

Marshall Field, some years

careful spending invariably pro
mote success. Economy is one
of tbe most essential elements of
success, yet most wretchedly
disregarded. The 5 and 10 cents
squandered a day, if saved, will
in a lew years amount to thous

competent to manage a small in

not competent to manage a large

WHY PROTESTANTISE! SHOULD BE PREACH
Protest Against Popy, Opportunity as Well

This fashionable talk about
tolerating popery because Prot
estants and papists should dwell
together in harmony is lb e sick
Hes j kiht;Of illogical - sentiment
Sincere aparty Republicans can
dwelt' together in harmony with
their equally sincere neighbors
who are party Democrats, but
that-personal relation .does not
forbid Democrat from opposing
Republicanism or Republican
f?or4 . opposing party Democra
tism.
It is a pertinent matter of
principle that is involved; and
Americans, whoundjerstand the
situation, oppose popery just as
they would any other f of m of
autocratic and oppressive imper
ialism. It is only the fanatic
who makes it a personal matter
for whom liberal patriots are in
ho wise responsible of to blame.
Such sentiment b prompted
and propagated by agents of the
intolerant papacy with purpose
tqjdisarm, emasculate, and an
aesthetize an already over-tolera
ant people. W might for a time
live in harmony with the child
ren, of an aggressive enemy,..- but
not perpetually. To; ignore the
inevitable is to put off till tomor
row' what can be done today.

The so called Roman Catholic
church consists of two distinct
elements its "children" and its
'fathers," its vast body of. sup
porting laymen on the one hands
and its select body of aristocratic
rulers and directors on the other.
Differentiation between these
two elements is as necessary to a
correct understanding as distinc
tion between honest and simple
German peasants who would pre
fer peace but go to war when
ordered, and 'their imperial and
aristocratic war lords wno use
peasants as pawns in military
aggression for conquest.
Rome consists of some millions
of members whose business it is
to obey orders, and of some thous
ands of priests and prelates
whose business it is to adminis
ter that huge body, under impe
rial direction of their pope. -There
are the clergy, with the pope at
their head, who rule Rome, who
dictate its permanent policies
and temporary expedients, and
there are the laity who have no
part in its rulership but function
soley as believers and doers of
what they are told.
it may oe aimcuit to grasp
that stupendous fact which relig
ious pretense is utilized to cover
and conceal. The real nature of
papal system is a monster of
such hideous mien that to be
hated needs only to be seen, but
how can the people see unless
they 4ook and how can the indiff
erent be induced to look unless
their attention is directed?.

J. WILL NEATE SUICIDES.
Salisbury Shocked, Kloarns tte Dsath of
Splendid Citizen.
Heartfelt regrets of all 8aU
iebarians were evident on all
aides this morning when it
was learned that J Wii Neave,
son of E B Neave, rnd Super
intendent of The Salisbury
water Works for many years,
had committed suicide.
iMr Neave left home yess
terday afternoon in an auto
mobile for the water station
at the river, it was thought
on business, but as he did
not return and his wife bei
came uneasy as to his where
abouis, a party went in
eareh of him. His automo
bile was found and search
was made for him, when.
about 1:10 this morniusr, his
oody was found in the woods
jae-half mile or more this
add of the water station. His
,oat had been taken off and
vas Iviog as though it had
teen - ased to rest his head on,
)ut a foot or so distant, a
fiole in hU right forehead,
the pistol still in- hand and
under his breast as he lay
partly on his right side. The
situation was self explaria
tory, he had deliberately
taken his own life.
No cause other than troub
ie is attributed to such a rash
act. Mr Neave has been
superintendent of the Salis-
felfc-WaterWprkB ; -tot a
number, of years and. has
been a most competent of&S
cial, He was interested in
the building of the new plant
at the river and owing to its
failure tJ supply the amount
of water expected, was natur
ally much worried and" has
suffered melancholia more or
les3 for a year.
Mr Neave was fortyodd
years old and leaves a wife,
several children, a brother,
two sisters and his parents.
He was a native of Salisbury
and was making good as all
Salisbury boys do when giv
en an opportunity to do so.
Everybody liked Will Neave
and were glad to have his
friendship and all deeply re
gret his passing away.
The funeral will likely Be
held tomorrow, the hour for
which has not yet been fixed.

dertaker's Friday morning,
h;s body having been taken

rence's throat was cut from
ear to ear, and it was said by
rtthose on the train that he
committed suicide after the
train had left Greensboro.
No'weapon was found in the
stateroom of the sleeper
where Lawrence died, ;but it
must have been a heavy
sharp instrument, for a
deep gash was made, arteries
and veins being severed. Law

overseas, and the troop train
was carrying him and his
comrades to Camp Pike. Ark,
to be mustered out. A sister
living at Cushingr Oklaho
