ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. EVERYBODY WAS IX CHARLOTTE AND THEN A FEW MORE. A Kara Enough Crowd Heard the President and Looked at the Other Notable Mr. Wilson'. K'rech At tracted National Attenti. .. Visit ed His Old Room at Davidson Col legeUnion County People Out In Force. Union county folks were about as thick in Charlotte last Saturday as they are In Monroe on the fourth of July. And the crowds were there apparently from everywhere else in this section of North and South Caro lina. The Charlotte papers estimated that there were 100,000 visitors in the city. They would probably put the figures high enough. President Wilson and his wife, of course, were the persons of greatest interest. Other notables were Secre tary of the Navy Daniel3, Governor Craig of North Carolina, and Gover nor Manning of South Carolina, Sen ator Overman, Congressman Webb, Dr. Grayson, the President's physi cian, and Mr. Tumulty, his private secretary. After the public appearance the of ficial party were entertained at the Manufacturers Club, and late in the afternoon Mr. Wilson went by auto to Davidson College and there led the way to the room which he had oc cupied when a student there. The President gave the crowds a . complete opportunity of beholding him, though few could hear his speech. In going up from the depot to the grand stand, in reviewing the parade, and in spending a long time on the reviewing stand, Mr. Wilson was seen by everybody who wished to take the trouble. Mr. Wilson spoke eighteen min utes. He was introduced by Gov. Craig. He spoke In a calm voice and off hand, but very carefully weighed his words. The speech in full fol lows: "Your Excellency, ladles and gentlemen: "It is with unaffected pleasure that I find myself in the presence of this Interesting company today, for I have come back for a visit all too brief to a region very familiar to my heart, and the greeting of whoso people Is peculiarly welcome to me. '-I do not know, my fellow-citizens, whether I can Interpret for you today the spirit of this occasion, but it is necessary when we get together in celebrations like this to take counsel together with regard to jiut what It is that .we wish to celebrate. -You .will say we wish to celebrate the . memories of that time to which we look back with such pride, when our fathers with singular wisdom of counsel and stoutness of heart under took to set up an Independent Nation on this side of the water; but it is very much more Important that we should remind ourselves of the ele ments with which our forefathers dealt. Thero were only three million citizens In that original republic of the United Slates of America. Now there are one hundred millions. It is a long cry back to those modest be ginnings; a great period of time, not only, but a great period of profound change, separates us from that time, and yet I would remind you that the same elements were present then that are present now. "What Interests my thoughts more than anything else about the United States Is that It has always been In process of being made ever Since that little beginning and Hint there have always been the name elements In the process. At tho outset mere was at the heart of the men who led the movement for Independence a very high and handsome passion for hu man liberty and free institutions. And yet there lay before them a great continent which It was neces sary to subdue to the uses of civili sation If they Were going to build on It a great stale among the family of Nations. 1 heard a preacher once point out the very Interesting circum stance that our Lord's Prayer begins with the petition for 'our daily bread,' from whii'h he drew the in ference that It Is very difficult to worship God on an empty stomach, and that the material foundations of our life are the first foundations. What I want to call your attention to .- Is that this country ever since that time has devoted practically all of Its atttnUog perhaps too much of its at tention, to the material foundations of Its life; to subduing this continent to the uses of the Nation and to the building up of a great body of wealth and material power. I find some men who when they think of America do not think of anything else but that. But, my friends, there have been other Nations just as rich and Just as powerful in comparison with the oth- ' er Nations of the world as the Uni ted States is, and it Is a great deal more important that we should de termine what we are going to do with our power than that we should pOSSOM it." Origin of America. "You must remember, therefore, the elements with which we are deal ing. Sometimes those of us who were born In hla part of the country per suade ounc!tes that this Is the char acteristic part of America. H-.re more than" any whe t'.w has ben pre served v. grrat prut of th-) mlglnal stock wnlc'i "-tiled this country. par ticularly that pntion of the whlcs cam f-om the BrtCih Isles. (I am not meaning to exclude Ire land.) And then I find a great many of my friends who live In New Eng laud Imagining that th history of this count' is merely the history of the expansion or New Knglnad. and ' that r'mo th Roc t Ilea at the foun dation 1 1 , ut Instltut.tu. As a mat ter of fact, my fellow-citiiens, how ever mortifying it may be to them or to us, America did not coma out of the South, and It did not come out of Ne Enr.Iand. Toe characteristic part of Arierica orig:uale4 In the Middle Slates of Nut York and Pennsylvania and Nw Jersy. be cause th-re from ths first was that mixture of opulation. that mixture of racial stocks, that mixture of an tecedents which is the most singular and distinguishing mark of the Uni ted States. The most important sin gle fact about this great ' Nation which we represent Is that it Is made up out of all the Nations of the world. I dare say that the men who came to America then and the msn who have come to America since came with a single purpose; sharing some part of the passion for human liberty which characterized the men who founded the Republic, but they came with all sorts of blood in their veins, all sorts of antecedents behind them, all sorts of traditions In their family and National life, and America has had to serve as a melting pot for all these diversified and contracted elements. What kind of fire of pure passion are you going to keep burn ing under the pot in order that the mixture that comes out may be purged of Its dross and may be the fine gold of untainted Americanism T That la the problem. Elements In the War. "I want to call your attention to another picture. America has always been making and to be made, and while we were in the midst of this process, apparently at the acme and crisis of this process, while this trav ail of souls and fermentation of ele ments was at Its height, came this great cataclysm of European war, and almost every other Nation in the world became involved In a tremen dous struggle which was what, my fellow-citizens? What are the ele ments in the struggle? Don't you see that In this European war is Involved the very thing that has been going on In America? It is a competition of National standards, of National tra ditions, and of National politics po litical cystoma. Europe has grappled in war as we have grappled in peace to see what Is going to be done with these things when they come into hot contact with one another. For do you not remember that while these processes were going on in America some very interesting things were happening? It was a very big world Into which this Nation came when It was bom, but it Js a. very little world now. It used "to take as many days to go from Washington to Charlotte in those days as it now takes hours. I beard an Irishman say If the power of steam continued to increase in the next GO years as it had in the last, we would get to Charlotte two hours before we left Washington. And as those processes of Inter-communication have been developed and quickened, men of the same Nation, not only have grown closer neighbors; but men of different Nations have grown closer neighbors with each other; and now that we have those Invisible tongues that speak by the wireless through the trackless air to the ends of the world, every man can make every other man in the world his neighbor and speak to him upon the moment. While those processes of fermentation and travail were going on, men were learning about each other, Nalons were becoming more and more ac learning about each other. Nations were more Rnd more becoming in-ter-rclated and intercommunication j was being quickened In every possible) I way, so that now the melting pot is bigger than America. It is as big as the world. And what you see taking Uplace on the other side of the water Is the tremendous I had about said final process by which. a contest of elements may In God's process be turned into a co-ordination and co operalon of elements. "For it is an interesting circum stance that the processes of the war stand still. These hot things that are In contact with each other do not make very much progress against each other. When you cannot over come, you must take counsel. See then, ladies and gentlemen, what a new age we have come into. I should think that It would quicken the im agination of every man and quicken the patriotism of every man who cared for America. Here in America we have tried to set the example of bringing all the world together upon terms of liberty and co-operation and peace, and In that great experience that we havejjeen going through In America has been a sort of prophetic sample of mankind. Now the world outside of America has felt the forces of America; felt the forces of free dom, the forces of common aspira tion, the forces that bring every man ond every . .at Ion face to face with this question, 'What are you going to do with your power? Are you going to translate It Into force, or are you going to translate It Into peace and the salvation of society'? Does it not interest you that America has run be fore the rest of the world In making trial of this great human experiment, and is It not the sign and dawn of a new age that the one thing the world Is about to fall back Is the moral Judgment of mankind. There is no fi ner sentence In the history of great Nations than that sentence which oc curs In the Declaration of Independ ence (I am now referring to the mi nor declaration at Philadelphia, not to the Mecklenburg Declaration) In which Mr. Jefferson said, 'A decent respect for the opinion of mankind makes It necessary I am not now quoting the words exactly 'that we should slate tbe grounds upon which we have taken the Important step of asserting our Independence.' 'A de cent respect for the opinion of man-' kind it Is as If Jefferson knew that this was he way In which mankind itself was to struggle to realise Its aspirations and that, standing In the presence of mankind, this little group of three million people should say 'Friends and fellow-citiiens of the great moral world, our reason for doing this thing we now Intend to state to you In candid and complete terms, so that you will never think that we were merely throwing off a yoke out of Impatience, but know that we were throwing off this thing In order that a great world of liberty should be open to man through our instrumentality.' - . Voice of Humanity. "I would like, therefore, to think that the spirit of this occasion could be expressed If we imagined our selves lifting some sacred emblem of counsel and of peace, of accommoda tion and righteous Judgment, before the Nations of the world and remind ing them of that passage in Scripture, 'After the wind, after the earthquake, after the Are, the still small voice of humanity." , Short Locals Picked t'p In and About Wlngate.

LARGER OUTLOOK FOR WOMEN J Miss Pankhnrst Says That the War Will Put the Freedom of Women Fifty Years Ahead Haa Proven Their Worth to Men Women Helping to Down Germany. Rome (IUly) Dispatch. May 22. "It won't be necessary for women to smash windows and to go to Jail to get their rights when this war is over." said Miss Cristobel Pankhurst to a correspondent of the Associated Press during her visit here for the purpose of forming a closer organi sation of the women of Italy with those of France and England. 'This war Is helping the cause of women wonderfully," she continued. "We are helping the men with all our might, with all our strength, and I am sure they will appreciate this fact wnen the war Is over. Besides, Eu rope then will be mentally and spirit ually 60 years ahead of where it was before the war started. There has been an exaggeration, for instance, of the amount of physical destruction caused by It, but one can not exag gerate the mental awakening It has brought, and this means a broader outlook on the position of woman. "This mental male revolution was sorely needed both in England and In Germany. I feel that In helpisg to down Germany, as the women of England, France, Italy and Russia are doing, by their physical work, we are putting down the great enemy of womankind. The Kaiser, you know, has always frustrated the efforts of German women to rise from their subordinate position, and he typifies the attitude of the German men. At that, however, the German women will have to fight out their own sal vation after the war, along with the men. They won't get any help from us. There haa been too much inter nationalism heretofore. Now, It will be a matter for each Nation to solve many of Its own problems and in par ticular the German Nation. "England has been driven out of conservatism, at last. We women have shown English men that we are worth something, that we are not Inferior creatures, I am sure that if women had had a say in the conduct of the war England would have been ready quicker. One of our misfor tunes has been that the young men, the open-minded men, have gone to the front to fight, leaving the old. slow minded men In charge. Take tne case of the effort to get steel hel mets for the men so that they might dally from bits of exploding shells. After these helmets had proven use- rui in France, tbe old men in Eng land were still discussing the advisa bility of using them. "If women had been in charge of the supplying of their soldiers with protecting helmets, do you suppose they would have hesitated to manu facture them in a hurry? Y'omen are too efficient for that. Besides their very love would have urged them on." To The Voters of Union County. Believing that the people of Union county are entitled to know where candidates for the Legislature stand on public questions, at the advice of my Mends, I wish to outline briefly my position on certain matters. 1. I have always been an advocate of good roads and I favor any reason able legislation to secure that bene fit which It affords by the majority of the peoplt I do not sanction the en actment f i -. ly road law carrying an increased .ax without submission to a vote of the people and no legisla tion along that line not in accordance with the will of the majority. 2. If nominated, I will exert my best efforts to procure a statute au thorizing the election of members of the County Board of Education and Superintendent of Education In this county by popular vote. 3. As an active member of the Farmers' Union, I heartily accord favorable endorsement to all of the propositions on which the Union re quests Information of legislative and other candidates. 4. I favor the enactment of legisla tion which will prevent frequent changes In text-books used In the public schools and will reduce the price of such text-books. 6. I favor the retention of the quart law now because It has been a great success. It gives the people an opportunity to buy in small quanti ties for medical purposes yet shuts off the evils from buying in larger quantities. 6. I favor any measure that tends to lessen the number of court Judges and to make the courts more efficient and less expensive. 7. Two years ago I withdrew from the legislative race In favor of a confederate veteran. I did this out of respect to him and the confederate veterans of the county, believing that whenever possible the people should honor survivors of the noble band who fought for States rights. This time 1 am In the race to a finish re gardless of the candidacy of any man In the race. I am making a fair op en fight on principles not personali ties and with the continued help of my friends 1 expect to be nominated. W. A. EUBANKS. Hint Was a Good Fight.

POTENTATE GKF.E.E Shriners Get Out a Fine Card Con Ulng photo and Poem WiU Ad vertise Monroe all Over the State Monroe Man Head of Member, ship of Two Thousand. The spring meeting of Oasis Tem ple which takes place in Raleigh to morrow is tbe biggest thing among the fraternal events of the year. Oasis Temple is the only one in the State, and Capt, S. H. Greene of Monroe is Potentate head tt the whole thing of two thou.and mem bers. There is but one officer in the United States higher than Potentate Creese, and that is the Imperial Potentate of the United States. A special train composed cf solid Pull man cars will leave Charlotte at three thirty this afternoon. At Monroe, if the weather permits, tho patrol band will come to the public square and give a concert In honor of Potentate Green and escort him to the train. It is estimated that about twenty-fivo Shriners will take the train here. Sixteen hundred plates have been or dered for the banquet in Raleigh. The Monroe Shriners have gotten out a beautiful card with the por trait of Capt Greene on one side. and under It these words: S. H. Greene, Potentate, Monroe, Oasts Temple, North Carolina. On the re verse side is the following poem written by Mr. T. B. Laney at the special request of the Shriners: Henry Greene, Potentate. Here's to Henry Greene, our present Potentate, The squarest of the square in the Old North State; A man beloved by each Noble Grand. And honored by all In our loved Southland. All praise to his name, let's shout It to the world, Paint it on banners and to breezes unfurl, In letters all golden, burning with love, With song, sweetest song, to be waft ed above. We've launched our little craft to meet life's gale, Tossed by Time's winds as we on ward sail, But with Henry as our leader, our teacher and guide, ye'll brave the high seas and stent the mighty tide. - Though the sands be slippery and the way be dark, We're strong, for Henry's the captain of our bark; We'll follow his precepts to the land oft told, And shape for his brow laurels of pure gold. From Solomon's Temple to the Mystlo Shrine, Ills life's been a picture, a painting fine, His acts whlspcilng love from the depths of his soul, Whilo living the life of the Masons of old. Then, Hurrah for Henry Greene, our present Potentate! We greet him with smiles, with love, not hate; . We'll cheer his pathway with mem ory's sweet song, And follow where he leads through life's crowed throng. T. B. LANEY. Several thousand of these cards have been printed and will be dis tributed in Raleigh. Tho Public Library. We all believe in public libraries. We frequently discuss tho library we are going to havo some day. We do not Hod that it la hclnlnz tha hnva and girls who are growing up in our town now. Will tho next generation need it more than this? Will tbe children of the next generation be dearer to us than the boys and girls that now cheer our firesides? Why We Need a library. 1. A public library in the commu nity would be an influence for good every day in the week. 2. It would make the town more attractive to the class of people we want as residents and neighbors. 3. A lihrarv wnnlri ha tha rrntar of our social and intellectual life, and would Mlmulate the growth for club for Btudy and debating. 4. We need a library to carry for ward the education of the children who leave tchm l at an early age; to give them a better chance for self education. 5. To enable adults to get an edu cation, who hae lacked or failed to mane use or early opportunities. 6. To provide fresh, strong, whole come books for vounr anil nM rlrH and poor; for the teacher and the pupu, ior me student and the work ingman.
