Continuing, : he said : -y "We have lived in the age of material ac complishments. The streaming forces of the universe have been harnessed and commanded to obedient service. "But it sems to me-that throughout the civilized nations there is ,an al truistic awakening, ft seems to me that there has come forth the faith that the powers of civilization shafl not be prostituted to selfishness and material things, but shall, be utilized tor the people and for the enlighten ment of all the-children of men. This faith may foe vaguer but it is assum ing nuissuant form. .It may be sown in weakness, but it shall be raised in power. x "It is this that can move the hearts of all men. It was the appeal to this that gave Roosevelt his following; that destroyed the greatest political organization of our, time; it was this, that in SDite of all opposition and or ganization. nominated and elected Woodrow Wilson. - "North Carolina feels the impulse.

Mr. Nelson, Who is 76 Years Old, Was Charged fWlth i Publishing Arti- i cle'.Reflecting Upon Judge - ' in Divorce Suit. h Kansas-City, Mo., Feb. 1. Only per: sistent efforts of counsel saved' Wil liam R. Nelson edito and owner . of the Kansas City; Star, from, jail for one day's imprisonment for contempt, pronounced by Judge Joseph Guthrie, of th Jackson County Circuit Court. The. charge was that Mr. Nelson, tfirough his paper, had defamed -the court in the publication of an article stating that vthe judge upon the ad vice' of .a divorcev lawyer, had allowed attorneys' fees to. take precedence over alimony in a divorce suit that was dis missed withdut being brought to trial: When Sheriff Stanley took Mr. Nel sons who is: 76 years old,. by the arm and started to lead him to the jail, Mr.: Nelson said quietly, "I'll not run away" and started to go with him.. Frank? N.- WJalsh; counsel for Mr. Nelson,, protested against his client being denied-the right of a fewmin- Uites conversation with him. ' . Fulfill the order Mr. Sheriff", said Judge Guthrie; 'this court is through with the case:' Mr. , Walsh -, pleaded: with- first the sheriff .. then with the judge that , the action contemplated was .without pre cedent and the court finally relented and 'granted 10; minutes in wbich to present a writ of habeas corpus and presently one- of Mr. 'Walsh's -associ ates, bearing the writ, pushed through the crowd which filled the court room. Execution of the ? sentence being stayed, thef-defendant was taken ln- mediately: -to.- the Court of -Appeals; where Judge" J-M Johnson released Mri, Nelson - jn , his personal - bond of flOO- to beproaent- fpr a herinf Wed nesday, February 5th. . 5 r. v Judge Guthrie's decision finding Mr. Nelson guilty of contempt came after the ' court s refusal to Jet the question Of evidence to show a statement in the article complained of that a judge had allowed ' a -divorce ? lawyer to decide whether : alimony or a lawyer's fee should be allowed', to be referred to the judge of another court. Judge Guthrie read his. decision from the typewritten' sheet. When Mr. Walsh charged that it was prepared in advance; the court admitted it, and said: : It was as easily prepared . then as at any time since, the facts were in the breast of the court." . "Any man, whether the publisher of a newspaper or not, has the right to criticise a court," declared Mr. Walsh, opening the argument for the defend- ent. - It Is the . duty or a newspaper to priht news of this. sort. "I have a right to go out into the court house yard and say what I think of decisions; or even to criticise the ability of the court or his fitness for office." . . Mt. 'Nelson has not done as much as this, but has printed a report of what 'occurred in these courts." Recommending a jail sentence for the defendant, Attorney Yates declar ed a fine would be folly. " For: this defendant," he said, "a fine would be a farce. It would be like saying to him: 'Contribute a post- aee stamp to the public treasury and go? on yotu way,, printing au tne men dacious articles you please mere is but one way to reach a case of this kind. " I recommend that 1 this defend ant be ' sentenced to the common jail. whelre-be may have ah opportunity to reflect upon .the course ne nas.mappea out - rr. ' ' '''. Mr Walsh declared that while it was Important that the dignity of the court be maintained;, it was or tne same If not greater importance, that the" people, be theyv newspaper writers or private citizens; have the right to comment upon actions of judges and their 'fitness abr their positions. Everv Question asked the witnesses examined tending ifir, show the posi tion of the Star in' printing news oi the character in cluestion, was object ed to- by Mr. Yates -and the objection was sustained by the court. In pronouncing Mr. Nelson guilty, Judge Guthrie said that the editor,, in publishing a statement that tne court, noon the advice of a "paid attorney" had granted divorce attorneys their fees' and left a woman wno sougnt an mony to, starve, had printed a sneer at.the judge and a sneer at tne Dencn in general, thereby tending to bring JUalCiai ' proceuufe 11111 uioicyuic. ; "And for this." said the judge, have , a grim determination that the defendant be punished. This court is in sympathy with proper attempts to hHnsrabout court reform, put tne ei feet of. the defendant's action is ridicule and criticise this court," to v" Marion Hood, New Singer.

'Vf-r-A ' constitu tional amendment 'which would restrict President i of United States o) single term of six years, and f. would bar Woodrow AMilson, Theodore Roosevelt afcd William H.

V v x . The language which it is proposed to insert in the constitution in place of the first, paragraph of Article II, is as follows: !' " ' The executive power shall be vest ed .in a President of the United States of America. - The : term at? President shall be six, years, and' no person who has held , the office by election, o-'dis-chargedjts. powers or duties or acted" as President under the constitution rand law made in purstiahce thereof, shall' be-eligible to hold again the of fice by-election.!

An amendment by Senator Hitchcock that would have exempted past Presidents and make the new provision take, ef fect March, 1917, was voted down 42 to 27," and an amendment by Senator Sutherland to exempt the President in office when the constitutional amend ment -may be ratified, was defeated 38 to 29.

Progressives ; Clapp, ; Dixon anc Poindexter. Democrat Shively. The fate of the resolution was in doubt almost to the last vote cast. On the roll call Senator Works himself cast the deciding vote. . The debate throughout the day was characterized again by the contention of the Progressives that the proposed constitutional amendment was a dan gerous "limitation upon the rights ql the people; and toy the efforts of manjfci Democrats to amend the resolution so that it would not be retroactive in effect. .-:. . - ' j " . . , . "We can trust the people to decide whether - they ! desire the ; election of Roosevelt. Taft or Wilson," said Sen ator Hitchcock, dn arguing his amend ment to exempt past Presidents. "All we should strive to do is to mafke it apply1 equally in the future to all men." This amendment was de feated I Senator Williams made another' ef fort to provide by a' limitation of two 4-year terms for the President- with the provision that it should not apply to past'Presidents. He could not mus ter enough support to secure a" roll call. . ' v I , ' - r Glasses that suited . your eyes two years ago may not suit them today.

The Balkan plenipotentiaries, sneak ing for publication today, repeated their desire- for another conference, which would make them dictators of peace on their own terms with the Turks and would satisfy the ambition to absorb Turkey, which would include Constantinople. ... ; , ; New York, Feb. 1.
