ten's address the following resolution
wss adopted: ;-i ' , ''-? r
Whereas, The Senate of the'United
States passed on April lDthf an ex
; eellvnt immigration bill, ,'8.. ,3175,
. which it still in the House Commit
tee on Immigration; and '. "' :
Whereas, The Senate Immigration
Bill contains the legislative reeom
s mendations of the immigration Com
mission, created fit years ago, and
composed of six members ' of Con
: greet and three distinguished civil
liana, that thoroughly investigated
.- .immigration . conditions at home And
' abroad, reporting some forty-two vol
. omcsof over five hundred pages each
.- sad eostinir over a million dollars to
: obtain, and that found "many ua-
. deniably nndesirablt persons enter
- the country vey1ur.V.Tler;U
t growing criminal class here due to
' foreign immigration." Substantial
restriction it 6manded by economic,
social and moral . 'considerations,''
" and that recommended the illiteracy
i test "as the most feasible single
method of restricting undesirable im
; miKration;'.? .and . ; . '
Whereas. The Commission.' futd-
c ingt and : legislative ' recommenda
tions are a complete vindication of
: the patriotic organization has taken,
believing that we should expect as
muehbt tb forcimer as we do il
our own in the way of a rudimentary
education in order to better" fit tbem
for making a living and participat
ing in our affairs, whether political,
social r industrial; and,
Whereas; The SenaW bill, fifty-two
pages long, contains the very legisla
tion .'recommended by. the Congres
sional Immigration Commission and
for which we have been working and
maintaining a National Legislative
Committee at Washington, and the

A Masterly Dtscouru by Dr. Potoat
Mr. J bo. U Tort Wine Orator's
Medal Meeting of Mont Aaneaa
Seminary Trustees. Kotos.
Mount Pleasant, May 2L Favored
as th Collegiate Institute hat. been
in tbe past yean in the invited speak
ers for th annual addret Won tb
literary societies, th institution: hat
ever been more fortunate than to
day, when Dr. Win. Louis Potest,
president of Wake Forest College,
delivered th annual address, a mat
ter pie of thought ..- -' ! ,
Dr. Potest wound . hie . -discourse
around- th . thoughts convwyed in
Th Wealth of the Sooth and .the
Conservation of her Resource."
Chief among them is agrieultur.
Th good Lord mad this nn agri
cultural region when he created th
world .in tb geological age of th
past." But whil our material wealth
ia our great personal wealth it great
er and or more importane and it not
geographical area but rather a bi
ological conception. -Material wealth
nothing unless w have Personal
-wealth in bur people. Human wealth
gives value to any form of raw ma
terial. - Five dollar worth or pig
iron becomes two million ,, dollars
worth of hair springs fory watches
under th workmanship and skill of
human labor. "Sam iron but more
man." Man it th soure and center
of ll economic problems and econo
mic values. Civilization itself it good
or bad according as it yield good or
bad manhood or womanhood, '.which
are th testa of civilization, th tests
of the chorea, tbe tests' of govern
ment. W need to call a halt on the
growing tendency toward practical
materialism. . Estimating peopt by
what they are .worth rather than by
what they are is a peril that eon
fronts us. . ; ,.
Human-life is not conserved; it is
wasted. Many people die who should
not die, and there are tome things
we should not b too hasty in eharg-
. ,f T. " 1
ing up- to an over ruling rroviuenco.
th man who drinks bacteria in
the water from a stagnant .well, takes
typhoid fever and dies, called to his
long rest by the Lord? One-third of
th death in North Carolina are
caused by preventable diseases, and
a disease that ean be prevented ought
to be prevented. W are bringing
about Jt Waste of life, a waste of per
sonal resources, a waste of wealth.
Life is not at long at it ought to be,
Ameriea, the proud nation, being far
behind other nations in this respect.
'The balloon of American brag needs
to b pricked every now and then to
let out the gas." Some lives are long
enough but they are lived on a low
plane of health. Jf we preserve oor
personal wealth we must attack the
diseases ,tht lower' the ton and vi
tality of the body. . The dope field it
a waste of life dope is anything that
calls for more. We allow degenerate
types to-perpetuate themselves from
sire to son. The speaker would-not
attempt to correct ihe -social evils
that are destructive of onr personal
wealth, in th sense nsed in the ad
dress, by-law but by an awakened
and enlightened; public , conscience
along these lines. Our obligations
are not so much to ourselves at to
future generations. It it not the mass
of life we desire but the quality of
life. . . vv.v,-.' -:...:;- - :,
A strong plea . was mad for reli
gion inline - scnoois. " taueauon
without religion it an impossible con
ception." the defect of moral train
ing in the schools is that it lacks dy
namite, dynamic force. 1 Keligion is
the dynamite of all moral life.
The speaker t discussion oi the di
vorce jriV marital conceptions, the
press and crime and their destruc
tive effect upon life, is impossible of
a brief . outline. & jf,.
- - . Contest in Oratory.
The orator came upon: the platform-
this afternoon under a severe
handicap. .The deelaimert and de
baters yesterday having set an : nn
nmiAllv hich standard bf olatform
speaking placed the graduating ttss
of the Institute in a (wsition where
it became necessary that they, meat
ure up to th records of th lower
classmen or suffer by failure. But
failure it "an unknown word among
tb students of the Institute; they
keep up the" pace; they make good.
At the. risk of abusing the use of
superlatives, we quote the words of
a visitor this afternoon: "It was the
best oratorical Voidest -I hat heard
in ML PleasantXfor twenty, years."
All th elements that enter into the

velt and Harmon were winners: in
yesterday's Ohio primaries Th in
terest today is only in tbe flna re
terns to shew tb extent of th vie-.

eight and possibly twelve; ; This
gives Roosevelt n minimum of thirty '
two control of State convention, with
six mor delegates in doubt, but prob
ably for Roosevelt Th Tsft foreet

Convention. . Harmon 'a plurality over
Wilson is roughly estimated at 15,-
000, but Wilson captured eighteen or -,
twenty of tbe forty-eight delegate.

self to all callers to rest up for tb "
New Jersey campaign, beginning to-,
