It is not a time to speak, it is time to think. to think earnestly and deliberately. It is a time for coolness and self-restraint, rather than for surrender to the natural impulses which are aroused by great events affecting the national honor, the national duty and the national welfare of our country.

I can only say this, that with the same patience, the urns deliberation and care, with which be has met the previous difficulties in our foreign affairs, the president will meet the present crisis. The nation can trust him to act justly and honorably and fearlessly, whatever way lie before us. In his hands the destiny of the United States is sure; the national honor is safe."

Ilematuy Lansing, speaking at a bouquet of Amherst Alumni la Washington Saturday night, said that although the United States oadeolalge was near the verge of war, "there is always the hope that our couutry may be spared the --terrible calamity of being forced into the conflict." "It is a time," he said, "of anziety for us all, a time of heavy respfmsibility for some of us. We -atre 'coking forward loto the uncertainties of the future and we are striving to read what it holds In store for us and our country.

We can hardly close our eyes to the fact that we are standing near to toe verge of the war which has for two and a half years wasted the greatest empires of Europe and brought untold woes to mankind.

The negro is learning some things that he did not know I when the migration spirit DI struck him.

That he has been decoyed to Northern states by crooked eutployment agencies, and that be arrives in northern he is usually broke and hungry and cold, is the substance of a letter from the pspartment of Commerce and Labo of the Side of Ohio to the Department of Labor and Commerce of the state of Georgia, requesting the latter autholities to put forth every effort in, their power to check the movement of negroes northward. "The superintendents of our free employment offices thronghout the State are in leceipt of complaints from negro workmen who state that they were induced to come north under the promise of high wages and cheap lodging by unscrupulous private agences," says the letter (roil; the Ohio authorities. A similar lettar was received a few days ago from Ohio by Coinmissinor J. A. Wade, of the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries.

Subtantitally the same facts were given. Inquiry at the railroad offices today developed that very few negroes left here yesterday or last Sunday There vvas not a half a coach load either day. with a large number of them being brought back home in coffins, and with news coining yesterday of a negro from Greenville actually freezing to death, the idea of "going north' is losing much of its popularity among the negroes. ne exouus now om uus ALABAMA SELMA, 4 On ty of a voltage um foe his.Altna Mater, be is a sentiment making foe patriot because it is one of the elements of national life not based. on Initerial interest Or selfish motive.

"We should rejoice," he continued, "that in some things at least we can be sentimental in an age when the general disposition of men is to reduce everything to terms of utility and when the standard of excellence is sought In answering the question: 'To what material use can it be put' that question embodies to my mind the general tendency to modern thought toward the vaHone phases of relationship of man to man and of man to society. "Toe American peopleaid I think they are no different from other peopleshave been growing more and more utilitarian in these later years; their thoughts and acts more and more influent by what is called the practical and less and less by that is called the ideal. Immediate and tangible benefit is the apparent goal of Amercian effort. 'It le indeed a pqmmentary on the American people that not a few thinking men have been asking with serious concern: Have American eyes grown dim to the achieve-- mews of the Has the blood of. patriotism ceased to throb in American veins? Have we forgotten that our heritage of liberty was sealed with the lives of devoted men and that is 4 sacred trust which we must bold and transmit to the generations to come? "I believe most firmly that everyone of these questions can be answered in the negative, I believe 1hat at heart the American I people are loyal and patriotic, l'ut to the test I do not fear the outcome.

Aud yet I feel the spread of materialism has been a menace to our national character, to which we should not be indifferent, a me-mince which ought not and must not continue. "To preserve in their high place in the life of the pipublic Ouse great Impulses which have wade us a virile and proud nation we must cultivate sentiment and- emphasize the ideal more than- we have done in' recent years, We must cease measuring accomplishment by dollars and cults.
