Diplomas Presented to Stu
dents; Address Given by
Dr. W. K. Greene
Louisburg, May 25 —The 135th com
mencement of Louisburg College was
brought to a close today with the pre
sentation of diplomas and certificates
to nearly a hundred liberal arts, bus
iness and high school students at ten
thirty at the Methodist church here.
The address to the graduating class
was delivered by Dr. W. K. Greene,
Dean of Undergraduate Instruction
at Duke University and member of
the Board of Trustees of the College.
Dr. D. E. Earnhardt, president of the
college, introduced the speaker and
aided in the presentation of the dip
lomas and certificates to members of
the graduating class.
Using as his subject, “The Three
Great Powers,” Dr. Greene counselled
the graduates for their future and
said that the use of these three pow
ers would aid them greatly in living
successful lives. These three powers
he named are the power to purpose in
heart, the power to see the invisible,
and the power to overcome difficulties.
• The power to purpose in the heart”
the speaker said “is the spinal column
of personality and the measure of true
manhood and womanhood. It is the [
rock foundation in the pyramid of per
sonal greatness.”
“Every great deed,” he added, is the
result of some great motive behind it.
This motion is the invisible point of
a needle, the kneen, slender edge of a
razor that opens the way for the bulk
that follows.”
With reference to the second point,
the power to see the invisible, the
speaker pointed out that the greatest
things of this world are not the
things we see with the physical eye
but are invisible, intangible
such as love, patriotism and religion.
"After all,” he said, “it is not what
we see, but what we see in things
that give them meaning. The differ
ence in men and women is very large
ly at the difference in what they see.
The great work of all the great artists
is only the visible expression of an in
visible idea.”
With regard to the third point—the
power to overcome difficulty—the
speaker pointed out that it may seem
strange to most of us but men seldom
grow rich by accident; lawyers sel
dom win cases by accident, doctors
seldom operate successfully by acci
dent and it is no accident that thou
sands of people go in and out of the
City of Rochester, Minn., every year.
“If we want knowledge,” he said,
"we must work for it; if food, we must
work for it; if pleasure, we must work
for it. Work is a law.”
"The history of our human world
is replete with illustrations of men
and women who have achieved dis
tinctive success by overwhelming tre
mendous difficulties,” the speaker
continued.
Dr. Greene discusses the function of
difficulty and adversity in life, de
claring that “adversity is the prosper
ity of the great. No kites could fly so
high without a string to hold it down.”
“Many students,” he declared, “are
pampered and weakened by luxurious
living who would grow strong and
triumphing over their hardships and
difficult living.”
Dr. Greyie called attention to an
inspiring illustration, under his own
observation, of a young man who has
achieved a marked degree of success
by the sheer will to overcome what
seemed to be insuperable in his path.

82 Are Registered
For Library Game
Boys and girls from the schools of
the city and county thronged the H.
Leslie Perry Memorial Library this
morning to begin playing the Library
game. Eighty-two players registered
to play from the fourth, fifth, sixth
and seventh grades, and between
thirty and forty players registered to
play from the first, second, and third
grades. Eighteen new members took
out library cards, and several other
children took cards home to sign.
The Library game is being played
on two boards. To enter the board, a
player must read on e book from the
library shelves. After he has read
and reported on this book at the lib
rary, his marker bearing his name is
placed on the board at the home base.
The markers are colored according to
schools, as follows: West End blue;
Central, green; Clark Street, yellow;
Junior High, red; North Henderson,
purple; South Henderson, tan.
Players registered this morning by
giving their names, schools attended
last year, and grades they will be in
next year. A player’s marker is not
placed on the board until he has read
his first book. To move from base to
base, player must read a book from
the section covered by the base to
which he intends to move. In this
way he will move around the library
board. Players from the first three
grades read one book to enter and
ten to win the game. Players from
the fourth through the seventh grades
read one book to enter, and twelve to
win. Player wins the Library game
when he has reached the home base
from which he started.
In the fall the Library will write a
letter to the teacher of each winner
telling her that the player has played
and won the game. Each winner will
receive on his library .card a seal sig
nifying that he is a full-fledged mem
ber of the library. No prize will be
awarded, for everybody may win the
game. Three meetings will be held

Contract for State’s Public

in Few Weeks
Dally Dispatch Rarest*,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, May 25.—Representative
of the 40 or 50 advertising agencies
which are still seeking the contract
tc handle the State’s new advertising
campaign on which it plans to expend
some $125,000 a year, are leaving no
stone unturned in their efforts to gain
an advantage in landing the contract
and are keeping officials of the con
servation department on the jump day
and night. Hardly a day passes dur
ing which Director R. Bruce Ether
idge or Assistant Director Paul Kelly
do not get. four or five long distance
calls from New York, Philadelphia or
other points where agencies are lo
cated, in addition to getting scores of
letters, having dozens of callers.
The special committee of the board
of conservation and development, of
which J. L. Horne, J-r., -of Rocky
Mount, is chairman, completed the
hearing of oral arguments by adver
tising agency representatives week be
fore last, but has not yet reached a
decision as to what agency or agen
cies the contract will be awarded. As
a result, many of these agencies are
still keeping up their promotion ef
forts and doing everything’ possible
to turn the decision their way.
“I never before knew so many ad
vertising men in other states were
from North Carolina, or had fathers,
mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, un
cles, cousins or other relatives in
North Carolina,” an official connect
ed with the Conservation Department
said today. “Many of these agencies
seem to think it will help them if
they have lots of relatives in the State
Some of them also seem to have en
listed the help of some politicians in
their efforts to get this advertising
contract.”

desire of other ambitious senators.
They want a chance at that leader
ship of his.
NO SECRET
Still, it is no secret that the Ar
kansan for a long time has aspired to
a Supreme Court judgeship.
It also is the general impression
that Fresident Rooseve.t, early in his
first term, promised to appoint him
to the desired post at the first oppor
tunity. That such a promise actually
was made cannot be proved, tut most
senators believe that it was made and
a few of them may know that it was.
If made, will it be kept?
It will be an exceedingly difficult
promise for the President to repdiate
if he did make it. Yet, Joe Robinson
will he a mightily peculiar Supreme
Court selection for the President to
AN ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE
This, as we know, is a New Dealer
ish era.
Practically everything that the
New ,Deal stands for Senator Robin
son was opposed to during a long pub
lic career. He was a corporation law
yer, an ultra-conservative, a defender
of just the governmental and econo
mic philosophy that has been com
plained of by liberals and radicals as
characteristic of Supreme Court reac
tion—as the New Dealers have termed
it.
But, when the New Deal came into
power, Robinson fell into line with it
immediately.
He already was Democratic Senate
leader. He had vast influence. He was
and is senatorially highly popular. His
service to the administration was tre
mendous. .It contradicted his whole
past record, but perhaps, as a convert,
that made his help all the more val
uable.
A PUZZLE
Now, if he isn’t appointed to the
supreme bench, the President’s chance
to appoint him having arisen, won’t
he he the victim of a piece of rank
in gratitude—of an outright breach
of faith maybe?
If he is appointed, won’t he rvert
tc form, and turn out to be as con
serva''ve a justice as retiring Justice
,Van Dcvanter, or some others?
Or will he be a rubber stamp—a
humiliating position?
Besides, President Roosevelt has
said he wants comparatively young
men on -the fed%al supreme bench
—under 60. Robinson is half a decade
above tha,t.
But the Senate (however the Fresi
dent may feel about it) favors him.
