of Houtiiitieg.
Wa&hington, June S.—If war must
come bet^vecn the United States and
Germany, the kaiser and not the
President will be compelled to accept
full responsibility.
The President will use every hon
orable means within Ws power to
Avoid hostiliUes. If the kaiser is de
termined to draa' the United States
i^o the present conflict, he may do
30 by killing more Americans.
This, in fact, is the statement made
by a mojority of President Wilson’s
rtbsnet. There was but one question
in the minds of (rovemmenta! minis
ters:
“Wi!! Germany give up its warfare
on innocent non-combatants?”
The cabinet stands squarely behind
the President in his determination to
make Gerniany abawion submarine
warfare on non-cpmbatants as the
price of America’s continued friend
ship.
Even Secretaries Bryan and Dan
iels, who were opposed to drastic ac
tion at the outset, are now satisfied
that the United States must take a
firm sand against Germany if the
progress of civilization is to be main-
taine!.

Elon College, on May 26th, rounded
out its 25th year. The entire com
mencement was marked by dignity and
simplicity. Every exercise was of a
high order. The barealani'eate ser
mon by Dr. F. G; CoflBii Wa»' a noble
utterance. This theme was: “Digni
fying the - Common Task.” His dis-
couree produced a fine impression.
Pi-esident Fairfax Harrison of the
Southern Railway, upon whom the
College conferred the LL.D, degre;,
was a most happy speaker in his de
livery of the literary address. Presi
dent Harrison is one of the South'u
biggejt men. Hu is a ca-ptain of in
dustry, bat he regards the South’s
noblest asset as her sons and daugh
ters. He exalted manhood in his dis
course and pleaded for reel education
as against the wild clamor for voca
tional training. The unexpectedness
of his position on this nmtter gave his
utterances all the greater weigh and
vivacity.
The year just cloead was marked by
the largest enrollment yat ^itt^ined,
mo!-e than 400 having been in attend
ance. The Board of Trustees decided
that for the futuru the enroUment
should be limited to 400. They be
lieve the college of that ftizc is able
to render a definite conti-ibution to
character development not possible
under other conditions. Their atten
tion for the next few years, if itoj
permanently, will be directed to the
making of Eion an ideal small College
for Just 400 studesRts. The President
and faculty are in thorough sym
pathy with this policy.
(By William T. Ellis.)
In some matters we bow to oar
tyranmis modernity, but in all fun
damentals of life we know that there
is no change. Eswntials of life' re
main as they were millenuVms ago.
What was most important in the days
of King David is still most important
today. Three thousand years have
passed since King IJavid on his throne
is splendor, and in that day his su
preme concern was his relation with
Jehovah, Spiritual values were pla>;-
ed higher than all material interests.
The profoundest utterances of David
had to do '.vith the state of the human
oul. Spiritual peace concerneri him
mnio than military glory.

two stories to illusti-ate my points.
The first was told me by a good

Nicholas DtBoy on Trial for AUegciI
Stuffing Ballot Box—Will Be
Acquitted,
Raleigh, June 2,—The trial of
Nicholas DeBoy, judg« of election in
the recent city election, on the charge
of putting a ballot in the box when
no one was voting it, began this after
noon, N. A, Dnnn, C. H. Anderson
and others testifying that they saw
DeBoy do this.
Testimony for the defense, sub
stantiated by DeBoy’s assoMate ju(^s
was that an old soidier, Mr. Wiiiis,
from the home, came in to vote, there
was difficulty in iinding his name on
the poll book and DeBoy, haaving pre
pared the ballot at request, held it
while the name was being looked up.
When found the old man had gone
unobserved and they put in his ballot
anyway. They heard the alk charg
ing fraud, but attached no importance
to it at the time. ,
A verdict of acquital is generally
conceded. Ballots in the box tally
with the poll book of voters,
A true bill has also come from tha
grand jury against Deputy United
States Marshal Sturdivant charging
him with fraudulent voting, in that
he voted without being qualified as a
resident of Raleigh. He had been
here officially several months, but
his family had not been moved here.
His case comes up tomorrow. His
plea is that he was told and believed
I he had a right to vote.
