Soldier Present Seated In the center of the theatre were the members of the Ashevllle military comnanles. while on the right of the entrance were Red Cross nurses and Red Croe workers of Ashevllle. Both the guardsmen and nurses were In full uniform. It was stated that hundreds were turned y from the meeting because of lack of room. During his remarks, the governor was frequently Inter, rupted by hearty and prolonged ap plause. Patriotism was the keynote and pa triotism reigned 'high. It began to get stirred when the orchestra played "America," "Star Spangled Banner," "Columbia, the Oem of the Ocean," and other number which tend to make the American blood run high. It grew and grew as Governor Blckett went deeper and deeper into his ad dress. Following the address, Dr. Powell, assisted by members of the Baraca class of the First Baptist Sunday school, presented eatfh trooper with a Testament the gift of the Baraca class and Ashevllle citizens, cooperat ing with the class. Following the singing of several patriotic- songs, led by Seth Perklnaon, Dr. Powell introduced J. J. Brltt, who presented Governor Blckett lntroauoea oj t. j. jtsnu. In his introduction, Mr. Brltt said that should he attempt to present the most interesting characteristic of Gov ernor Blckett ne would say that It was hi love for hi state, and that it gav way to subdued remarks of dissent On youngster, seated in the first gallery, said In a loud stage whin pert "it'll never do it." "The question Is, under which flag does a man fight and that is one of the great question that is presenting itself to every American citizen. "William Jennings Bryan is a lover of peace. He does not want war. But the day after war was declared. Bryan volunteered hi ' services, Claude Kltchln spoke against war and voted against war. but the dny after war was declared he took oft his, coat and went to work on the bill to wage the war and his son enlisted In the army. That Is' the way North Carolinians al ways do. "In the present emergency no mat ter what a man's private opinions might have been, before the war was deolared, if he Is an American he will give power to the arm that is raised to strike. Worse Than Savagery. "The time ha come when war be tween enlightened and civilized na uon la worse than savagery. It means the using of brute force by men who claim to have risen above the Drute level. It acorns the subject of logic and savagely asserts that the gun should be the supreme arbiter of a na tion's life. For thirty years with tire less energy and matchless skill, the Imperial German government has con verted every citizen Into a soldier and every industry into an arsenal. This completed, it suddenly demanded of a startled world a new place in the world. "We are fighting to send Prus slanlsm to the scrap heap of civiliza tion, for the simple logic of Justice and peace against the logic of Are and word. There will be no peace for this world- until the strongholds of autoo- racy shall have been laid low and on its ruins a Christianized democracy built "On of the puzzling fact of his tory is that nation lay far behind In dividuals In mental and moral percep. tlon. Maybe this 1 the reason that congress and the legislatures pass what individuals believe to be so many fool measures. This 1 more striking in a moral than in a mental sense. For a thousand years diplomacy was simply an art or duplicity. This was so unrai John Haig lifted the whole world's diplomacy to a level of vmin ana nonor it Had never known before. ... . no matter bow adverse to a duel 0 August Clearance ' ' ' of was eminently fitting at a time when c a man may have been a thousand the Institutions of the .state need a I years ago, the code of honor corn steady guiding hand, and the in-1 pelled him to settle his differences dustrles need to be built up, that such with an exchange of shots. Today men a man as Mr. Blckett who loved his readily perceive, they have no rlrht state a h does should be the gov ernor. As the governor arose, the crowd rose with him. "I want to enter a confession to one of the statement made by Mr. Brltt said Governor Blckett "I do love North Carolina. I love her peo ple from the blue of the mountains to the blue of the sea, and my heart's desire and my prayer to Ood is that in this momentous hour of our his tory I may be given the grace and. strength to be God's own governor to Hi people and lead them in a way that He would have them led. "Soldiers, I. come before you with reverence in my heart. ' I am fully aware of a sense of Inadequacy. That amount to little when I contrast the most I can do or say to the least you invest in me. Pitiful, Indeed, is the poverty of language. After all, elo quence doe not consist in nn phrases, in lofty figure of speech, but rather In noble deeds shot through with a noble purpose. I have heard one hundred speeches pf the part North Carolina soldiers played in the war between the state. The most eloquent thing said, or that could be aid about North Carolina's part in that conflict that 'while only 115,000 men were reported within our border, we mustered. 127,000 under the flag." Governor Blckett said that he had read one thousand love Stories and expected to read one thousand more. He carries one around with him in his grip, and added that it is about the most intoxicating thing a man can carry under the present status. The most eloquent declaration of love he ha read was not found among the fine phrases of the poet but in the simple statement of a Pari girl of the streets who had fallen in love with to appeal to arms, but thev must sI.a appeal to the law of the land to set tle differences. They also perceive that a man has no right to sit as Judge In his own case. There is no earthly reason why nation as well as lndl. viduals should not be compelled to submit their differences to the laws of the world. This is no Eutoplan dream. It is the same principle em ployed between the states of this na tion. There ia absolutely no reason why their should not be established a tribunal similar to the United States Supreme court, to settle any differ ences arising between two or more na tions. ... , ':' "Th Uns In th path of progress' of such a principle 1 the imperial German government which holds tw. people of Germany In its savage, re lentless grip.
