a diy of felicitations n) fclicita' in,;
in these parti. The nee vision .ksi the
formal opening of the tiifKc milf
stretch of concrete highway that now
links the Hull city n it h Chapel Kill.
In i-oninion parlance the highwav
would he called a toad but in -keen
ing with its classic environment it
lias been named "I'nnerjity Boole-,

felicitation that can lie heaped upon
it.

at "some papers who think they
ought to run the State.''
He was talking on his favori.'
theme of law enforcement. lie had
made a tremendous hit with his audi
enee by calling on Iurham iteople to
inuke the Hull city the cleanest city
in North Carolina. He l.ad pledged
his sincere eo operation to enforce
the law impartially and rigorously to
the end that law and order might
prevail.- He had reminded Durham
people of the greater obligation, reel
ing upou thtni because of the near
ness of the University and the pres
ence of. Trinity college in their own
midst.
"The pardon power will never to
used as long an I am governor," he
hud declnrd amidst vociferous ap
plause, ''to justify criminality and
bring the courts into contempt.
,'Hl is absurd for the pc.ple of
North Carolina aided hy the press to
attempt to adjudicate every ease
tried in the courts.'' he continued. He
had said it. But ther was more to
come more generalities.
"When some papers make up their
minds to destroy you they will do it
if you don't look out," he added.
Across the table sat representative
of some half dozen leading dailies
in North Carolina, who had boon in J
vited to attend the celebration.
When K. O. Everett after an elo
quent speech had proposed a toast
to "Our Governor," the scribes had
joined in the felicitations. They had

President Chase was to have returned

THE (.HEAT ADY ENTl'RE
As i f confi-rred together for the
tast time before the President left
Washington for the other side, I
hsd never seen him look more weary
or carewo-n. It was plain to me
who had watched him from day to
day since the armistice, that he felt
most keenly the heavy responsibility
that now- npon hue, o-f l-r-ying to
hniig permanent pence to the world.
He wns not unmindful of the cnti
rism that had been heaped upon him
by his enemies upon the hill and
throughout the countrv. The only
thing that distressed him. however,
was the feeling that a portion of the
American people were of lie opinion
that, perhaps, in making the trip to
Pans there lay buck of it a desire
for self eiploitatioii, or perhaps, the
loea of garnering certain political
advantages to himself and his party.
If one who held this ungenerous
opinion could only have come in
contact with this greatly overworked
man on the night of our final talk
and could understand the handsome,
unselfish purjMise that really lay be
hind his mission to Krance'and could
know personally how he dreaded the
whole husincn. he would quickly
free himself of tins opinion. Pis
disking the object of the trip with
me in his usually intimate way,-he
said: "Well, Tumulty, this trip will
either be the greatest success or the
snpremest tragedy in all history ;
but I believe in n Divine Providence.
If I did not have faith, I should
go eraiy. If I thought that the dlr
ectiou of the affairs of this disor
dered, world depended npon our
finite: intelligence. I should not know
how to reason my way to sanity;
but it is my faith" that no body of
men however they concert their
power or their influence can defeat
this great world enterprise, which
after all is the enterprise of Divine
mercy, peace and good will."
He Foresaw Dlfflcaltie
As he spoke these fateful words,
he clearly foresaw the difficulties
and dangers and possible tragedy of
reaction and intrigue that would soon
be exerted in Paris, perhaps to out
wit him and if possible to prevent
the consummation of the idea that
lay so close to his heart; that of
setting up a concert of powers tha'
would make forever impossible a
war such as we had just passed
through. Indeed, he was ready to
risk everything his own health, his
own political fortunes, his place in
history, and hi very life itself -for
the great enterprise of peace. ''Thia
intolerable thing must never hap
pen again," he said.
No one more than Wood row Wil
son appreciated the tragedy of dis
appointment that might eventually
follow out of his efforts for jieace,
but he was willing to make any
sacrifice to attain the end he had
so close to his heart.
He realized better than any one
the great expectations of file Ameri
can people. Discussing these expee
tations with Mr. Creel, who was to
accompany hiru., h.e. aaid, "Jt is . to
America that the whole world turns
today, not only with its wrongs hut
with its hopes and grievances. The
hungry expect us to feed them, the
homeless look to us for shelter, the
sick of heart and body depend upon
us for cure. All of these expecta
tions have in thetn the quality of
terrible urgency. There must be no
delay. It has been so always. Peo
pie will endure theis tyrants for
yours, but they tear their deliverers
to pieces if a millennium is not
created immediately. Yet, you know
and I know that these ancient
wrongs, these present unhappineeses
are not to be remedied in a day or
nith a wave of the hand. What I
seem to see with all my heart I
hope that I am wrong - is a tragedy
of disappointment."
Considers Taking Root.
The President and 1 had often dis
cussed the personnel of the Peace
Commission before its announce
ment, and I had taken the liberty
of suggesting to the President the
name of CT-Hecretiiry of State Elihu
Root. The President appeared to be
delighted with this suggestion and
asked me to confer with Secretary
Lansing in regard to the matter. I
conferred with Mr. Lansing, to
whom the suggestion, much to my
surprise, met with hearty response.
At this conference Mr. Lansing said
that he and the President were at
tempting to indue some members
of the supreme Court I think it
was either Mr. Justice Day or Chief
Justice White to make the trip to
Paris ai oa of the Comniiseion but
they were informed that Chief Jus
tice Whit wa opposed to the selec
tion of Supreme Court Judge to par
ticipate in any conference not con
nected with Lthe nsual judicial work
of the supreme Court.

Preliminary to the formal opening

With President Ijntham in the

sented Governor Morrison, apologiz

undertaking to present a man that
the State knows, he said., a lot better
than it does the mayor of Raleigh.
He commended the Governor for his
program of progressive legislation.
The t.ovcrnor was in finrrsprakmgl
trini, and for three quarters of an
hour, recounted to the assembled
teachers the things that have been
done, and the thing that- are con
templated for making North Cnro
lina greatest among the Status. "We
have learned how to make money in
North Carolina, and we have learned
how to )end it for the glory of
God and the uplift of humanity," he
declared.
Bailey Speech Unaoand.
Without calling the name of any
body, he gave an accurate picture
of the address delivered a week ago
by J. W. lTalley lcfore the State
Farmers' Union, wherein Mr. Bailey
drew a dismal picture of-the break
ing down of agriculture in the State.
The Governor called the maker of
the speceh a brilliant man. "It is a
distressing thing to read, although
ke know it isn't so when we read
it," he concluded. "Kven if it were
so, think what a lot better off w
are than the other of the States.'1
Then followed the Governor's well
known review of the State's great
ness in agriculture, in its mnnufae
tures, its per capita wealth, its great
cotton crops, its great tobacco crops,
ita manufactures of both these
staples. "Rut it is not these materiel
things alone that make us great; it
is the use that w snake of these
riches that we have learned how to

Republican Senator Moans
Because of Taxes On
Big Business
The News and Observer Bureau,
6fl:: District National Bank Bldg
By EDWARD E. BRITTON
(By Special leased Wire.)
Washington, Nox. This tax
bill is a disappointment to the pen
pie of this country'1 was one of the
swan songs wiiirh wafted the extra
session of Congress into the. sine
die -per wid. - It was - sung in- 4he
Senate and it was not done by (
Democrat. This was the declama
tiou of Senator Calder, regular Re
publican of New York. And lie was
monning because of the taxes put
on the easy street gentlemen who
make up big business, for he con
tinued his Jeremiad with sadness in
hi voice about "disappointment" at
the bill laying:
"Particularly the men who have
looked forward to its enactment in
the hope that is would inspire the
business men of America to renewed
activity." And Ihen he lamented
some more about taxes placed upon
wealth, but not one time did he
raise his voice in commiseration with
the average citiren nnneeunt of
his tai burdens. And of this ame
hill Senator Boies Penrose, chief
among Republican apostles, give as
hi opinion that it is "a makeshift."
There is agreement among the
Democrat that both Senator Calder
and Senator Penrose nre right hut
they nre disgusted with the bill for
entirelx different reason, for they
have been fighting the Fordney mnn
strosity and the Penrose iniquity
because of its favors to the rich and
its burdens for the poor. It is so
inequitable, so unjust, so iniquitous
a bill that it Republican daddies
ought to he ashamed of it. They will
later hear from the country as to
their failure to do things of value
to the whole people.

The Washington Conference, af
ter its . t rcinc mloiis opening, seems
now -to be running jnlo slack, water
ll has hal its three great davs, in
which Secretary Hughes and Mr.
Balfour and M. Bristol hse res
pecjjyelv plsved the lend ing parts.
The broad lines of a possible naval
rrdurtinn and of a possible Chinese
and Pacific settlement are shaping
themselves in men's minds.
M. Briand ha spoken and now
departs. France will not disarm
until she has a binding treaty which
her former allies are not yet pre
pared to gie her She ignores the
n'siirsnces of her proven allies nnd
th experiences of the Citcsx War
She goes in fear of desolate Russia
nnd bankrupt Germany and she is
"assailable on three roasts.'' Sn she
retains her great armies, and es
pecially her "colonial" armv. .Mr.
Itriand' departure hits something of
the effect of France shaking the dust
from her fet and departing front
the Conference. But France cannot
step out of her share in the leader
ship of peace in this fashion. France
las not finished with the Confer
ence yet She will speak now a'
Washington with a voice perhaps
less romantically impressive but
more praetieull helpful. SW has
explained the terrors of her position
and the assembled delegates have
snid: ''There, There." to. her as po
litely ami soothingly as possible.
But nobody really believes in the
terrors of her position. Mr. Hughes
is a man of great tenacity of pur
pose and hi chief reply to M.
LB.riaid'l sjteAduJv1 Jnilltarjr
disarmament upon tne agenna. it
third committee of five powers hn
been added to the two already in
existenre to deal with bind disarma
ment. It is doubtful iff-it can ge
very far unless it can bring in Gerd
man and Russian representatives to
reply to the alarmist charges of M.
Briand.
Follows Hughes' I.esd
With the information of this third
committee, the Washington Confer
ence would seem to hnve got as much
before it as it is likely to handle.
The Hughes impetus has done its
work and done its work well. The
Conference has followed his rigorous
lend almost ton rigorously. It has
cut off a manageable part of the vast
problem of world peace and seems
well on the way to manage it. That
is exemplary if limited. To man
age a sample is to go some way to
wards demonstrating that the whole
is manageable. A war on the Pa
cific ha been averted, I think, at
least for some years. But the more
general problem of world peace as
one whole, the problem of ending
war for good, still remains uiitoio li
ed nnd it is well to bear in mind
that that is so.
It is impossible not to contrast
this phase in the life of the Wash
ington Conference with the great
proposition of the opening days,
when President Hnrding was Sveak
ing at Arlington and in the Conti
nental building of making an end
to offensive -tint! with that of de
fensivewar forever in the world.
It is impossible to ignore this
shrinkage of aim and to refrain
from measuring the vast omissions.
That prelude, 0110 perceives, wns the
prelude to something greater than
tins present Conference, and more
than this conference must ensue
from it. The haggling and adjust
ment that is now going on in the
committee of five powers on naval
limitation and in the committee of
nine powers on the Pacific settle
ment I will not attempt to follow.
It is a matter for the experts and
diplomatists; the, public is concern
etl not with the methods of the
wrangle but with the general pur
port and practical outcome. W of
the general public are incapable of
judging upon the merits of battle
cruisers and the possible limits to
the sixe of submarines. Our ton
cern is to see such thing grow rarer
and rarer until they disappear. I
will not apologize, therefore, for go
ing outside the Conference chamber
for the matter of my next few
papers. I will gri back from Mr.
Secretary Hughe and his proposals
and thoir consequences to President
Harding and to the great expecta
tions with which the Conference as
sembled. Earooe Needa Ventilation
These expectation looked not
merely to an arrest of international
competition on the Pacific and to
Riving threatened China a breathing
time to bring itself up to, modern
conditions, .they -looked frankly to
ward the establishment of a world
peace. But so far as Europe goes,
where, as M. Briand' speech remind
ed us, tha nations are locked to
gether in a state of extreme danger,
the Conference has as yet done no
thing. It i qdit possible to belief
that it will do vary little. It it doubt
ful if th peace of Europe eon ever b
dealt with ffetoally in Washington.

Of these questions, the firkt was

that whatever is to be done on behalf
of the open door in China nnd the
principle of the integrity, of China
will U- bast d on what has happened
in the past and been sanctioned by

have some relief from interference
in her fiscal affairs, but tslu re is not
