Says the President.
Philadelphia Dispatch, 10th.
President Wilson pave to a gath
ering ot 4.uu naturalized Americans
tonight the first intimation of the
?r the United States probably
will pursue in the situation result
in? from the loss of more than a
hundred American lives on the Brit
ish -liner Lusitama. He spoke by
implication, but his hearers inter
nreted hu remarks s meaning that,
while the Unite,! States world re
main at peace, it would seek to con
vince Germany oi me inj
mankind of the tragedy. .
"America." said the president,
"must have the con-ciousnesa that on
all sides it ouches hearts with all
the Nations of mar.kin.l. The exam

"It is a very interesting circum
stance to me in thinking of those of
you who have just sworn allegiance
to this great Government that you
werg drawn across the ocean by some
beckoning finger of h:pe, by some
mlief, by some vision ot t new kin
i justice, by some expectation ot
better kind of lie. No doubt you
have been disappointed in some of
us. Some of us are very disappoint
ing. No doubt you have found that
justice in the United States goes on

pose as it does everywhere in the

y ADDRESS IN FULL
In introducing the President May
or Blankenburg said:
-"I. present to you God bless him
the President." -
The stenographic copy of
Wilson's address in full follows:
"It warms ray heart that v0.u
should give such a reception, but it
is not of mysejf that I wish to think
tonight, but of those who have just
become citizens 0f the United States
This is the only country in the world
which experiences this constant and
repeated re-ioirth. Otiher countries
depend upon the multiplication of
their own native people. This coun
try is constantly drinking strength
out of new sources by the voluntary
association with" it of great bodies
of strong men and forward looking
women. And so by the gift of the
free will of independent people it
is constantly being renewed from
generation to generation by the same
process by which it was originated
created. It is as if humanity had
determined to see to it that this
great Nation, founded for the bene
fit of humanity should n0t lack for
the allegiance of the people of the
vcrld. .. .
"You have just taken an oath of
allegiance to the United States. Of
allegiance to whom? Of allegiance
to no one, unless it be God. Cer
tainly: not of allegiance to those
who 1 temporarily represent this
great Government. You have tken
an oath of allegiance to a great
ideal, to a great b0dy of principles,
to a frreat hope of the human race.
AMERICA AN IDEAL
"You have said 'We are going to
America, not only to earn a living,
nW to seek the things which
it is more difficult to obtain where
you were born, but to help forward
the great enterprises of the human
spirit' to let men know that every
where in the world there are men
who will cross ' strange oceans and
go where a speech is spoken which
iR alien to tnem, knowing that what
ever the speech, there is but one
longing and utterance of the hun.un
heart and that is for liberty ai.i
justice. And while you bring a.i
countries with you, you come wiui a
purpose of leaving all other countries
behind you bringing what is bet
of their spirit, but not looking over
your shoulder, and seeking to per
petuate what you intended to leav.j
in them. I certainly would not be
one to suggest that a man cease to
love the home of his birth and he
Nation of its origin these thins3
high hope or undertake any high
enterprise. Just because you
brought dreams with you, America
iswnore likely to realize such as you
brought. You are enriching us if
you came expecting us to be better
than we are.
TOUCH ELBOWS WITH ALL
"See, my frieflds, - what that
means; it means that Americans must
have a consciousness different from
the consciousness of every other Na
tion in the world. I am not saying
this with even the slightest thought
of cirticism of other Nations. ' You
know how it is with a family. A
family gets centered on itself it is
not careful and is less interested in
the neighbor,, than it is in its own
members. So a Nation that is not
constantly renewed out of new
sources is apt to have the narrow
ness and prejudice of a family;
whereas, America must have this
cosciousness, that on all sides it
touches elbows and touches hearts
with all the Nations of mankind.
The example of America must be a
special example. The example of
America must be the example not
merely of peace because it will not
fight, but of peace because it is
the healing and elevating influence
of the world and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a man be
ing too proud to fight. There is
such a thing as a Nation being so
right that it doe, not need to con
vince others by force that it is right.
NOT EXEMPT FROM WORK
"So if you come into this great
Nation as you have come, voluntar
ily seeking something that we have
to give, all that we have to give is
this: We cannot exempt you from
work. No man is exempt from work
anywhere in the world. I some
time, think he is fortunate if he has
work only with his hands and not
with his head. It is very easy to do
what other people give you to do,
but it is difficult to give other peo
ple things to do. Ve can not exempt
you from work; we cannot exempt
you from strife and the heart-breaking
burdens of the struggle of the
day that is common to mankind;
we cannot exempt you from the loads
that you must carry; we can only
make them light by the spirit in
which they are carried. This is the
spirit of hope, it is the spirit of lib-,
erty, it is the spirit of justice.
"When I was asked, therefore, by
the mayor and the committe JJiat
'accompanied him to come up ffiom
Washington to meet this great com
pany of newly-admitted citizens, I
could not decline the invitation. I
ought not to be away from Washing
ton and yet I feel that it has re
newed my spirit as an American. In
Washington men tell you so many
things every day that are not so, and

SET A HEN AND
SANCTIFY A PIG
How a Methodist Church in
a Kansas Village Raised
Money For Missions.
Southern Methodist Church Ro
ceives $1,232,508 For Mis
sions Interesting News.
It happened "out in Kansas, and the
actors were all jrood Methodist men and
women, living in ana auout little vil
lage. -- ...
Money was needed fer a great- mission
ary cause, and there waj scarcely a per
son who knew of it whosdid not want to
give something. But it was in the spring
that the call was made, and that ig the
time farmers are using every cent they
can get hold of to make a crop. No one
had any money to give. Then there came
a bright suggestion. Some one said: "Let
us set a hen and sanctify a pig."
r.very woman who had chickens went
out and selected a most motherly old hen
nhd fifteen of the best eKgs she could
lind and then and there dedicated that
lien and her brood to the cause. The
farmers selected a nice youn'g pig of
slioat, which pis was sanctified to the
cause of missions.
(Jf course, th hen hatched a nne brood
of chickens. .Ml summer it was a matter
of great Interest to visitors to the homes
where there were Methodist hens and
sauetifled pigs. Farmers would point and
say: "Yoi.'der is the Fanctilied pig." Wom

point out the old hen and her brood and
tell people how that old hen wag rais

The Value of Advertising
IN THE
HOME NEWSPAPER
By WILLIAM C. FREEMAN
Any newspaper in any community
wields a greater power than any
combinations of individuals in the
community.
Why ?
Because the printed word is read
and leaves an indelible impression
on the mind. Only a small propor
tion of the spoken words we hear
.eaves any impression whatever.
If you do not believe that the
printed word is a won,derf'-l force,
let me ask you these questions:
Why are city officials, for in
stance, anxious to have newspapers
print their opinions?
Why are organizations of busi
ness men always glad to have the
newspapera give them publicity?
Why are social organizations very
particular to furnish the newspapers
with their programmes?
Why do individuals want news
printed about themselves?
I might go on and ask a hundred
other questions. The answer to
them all is
THE PRINTED WORD IN A
NEWSPAPER IS THE MOST VAL
UABLE MESSENGER OF TIDINGS
GOOD OR BAD, IN ANY COM
MUNITY. The business man who says, "I
jlon'tv $0 . much in advertising," is
usuafly the . first' man to trjf to get
in the limelight through personal
publicity in his home newspaper.
He recognizes the value of pub
licity to him personally if it be fa
vorable, and he also recognizes its
power to make him very unhappy
and uncomfortable if it be unfavor
able. There always a great scramble
among the . people in every commun
ity to get their names in the news
paper, or else to keep their names
out of it.
The desire one v-ay or the other is
always uppermost because there is
recognition of its power tos make
known everything that happens.
Nobody can dispute its power.
Every business in every community
should' make itself known to every
body in the community by using the
advertising columns of the home
newspaper.
The advertising columns are news
columns, too. The news of business
V as important to a community as
the news about its people, its city
government, and the affairs of the
ytate, the nation and the world.
"If the news of business is so im
portant then why not print it
free?" some merchant may ask.
The answer is that a newspaper
has to be a commercial institution
as well as an institution to serve
the public. It must depend for exis
tence mainly on the revenue from
its advertising columns just as any
business must depend on sales to
txist. .
Custom has decreed that a news
paper's mission in a community is to
furnish its readers with informa
tion and entertainment and to give
merchants an opportunity to address
themselves to the readers setting
forth their claims to their patron
age. Nobody has ever yet discovered
a more direct or more effective or
less expensive way of making a bus
iness known to a community than
by employing intelligent advertis
ing in the home newspaper.
"Who is Jphn Jones, Merchant ?"
some? stranger in town asks of some
resident of the town, and invariably
the answer is, "I don't know," un
less John Jones advertises regularly
in his home newspaper; then every
schoolboy and girl, every man and
woman, everyl "policeman knows him
and can direct the stranger how to
find him.
The habit of many merchants in
locating somewhere in a community,
opening doors to do business, and
then expecting trade to come to them
without advertising, in mainly rs
snonsible for many of them closing
their doors or else doing such an in
different business rhati they never
become important factors Xn their
home town.
Merchants who advertise in the
rewspapers are the live wires in any
community.

Experiences in the Famous Dun

It is learned that W. C. Walters,
the Robeson county man who had
so great a fight for his life in the
famous Wfalters-Dunbar kidnapping
case, is now coining money lectur
ing in the section where he was ar
rested and tried. Readers of The
Rcbesonian are well acquainted with
the nature of this famous case. No
doubt he has a great story to tell.
A man who ought to know remark
ed one day recently that if Walters
had kept all the money given him
while in prison he would now be in
dependent, as he was told by Wal
ters that on a day when he was in
the town in which he was imprison
ed that he had received more than
$10 on that day alone. Instead of
meaning death to him this experience
may mean a fortune if he goes at
the lecturing in the right manner.
But at that few peopje would be
willing to go through the same ex
perience. Walters had a close shave.
