.Question for Every Man and Every

President Tells Carolinans,
CHARLOTTE, N. C, May 20. Presi
dent Wilson today addressed a crowd
estimated at more than 10.000. gathered
here for the 141st anniversary of the
signing of the Mecklenburg Declara
tion of Independence.
"I have come back for a brief visit
to the region dear to my heart," said
the President. "I do not know whether
I can interpret for you the spirit of
this occasion. It is necessary to realize
Just what we celebrate. There were
only 3.000.000 people in this nation
when it became Independent. . Now
there are 100,000.000 people. There have
been changes, but we have the same
elements. What I want to impress on
you is that we have always been in
the making. Among the men who
founded this Nation there was a great
passion for human liberty.
Too Much Emphasis on Riches.
"This Nation has devoted itself al
most too nruch to material things. There
have been other nations Just as rich
as the United. States. We must think
of what we are going to do with our
wealth and our prosperity.
"America did not come out of the
South and it did not come out of New
England. It came out of the Middle
States, where there was a mixture of
different races."
The President spoke of the European
war.
"What are the elements of this war?"
he asked. "Europe is fighting out in
war the questions we are fighting out
In peace. As the processes of communi
cation have grown better nations and
peoples have grown closer together.
Men can now learn more about each
other, so that now the melting pot is
bigger than America. It is as big as
the world. See, then, what a new world
we have come into.
New Age Seems Dawning.
"Here in America we have tried to
pet the example of peace by keeping
together. Isn't it the sign and dawn
of a new age that the one thing new
on which the world is about to fall back
is the moral judgment of mankind."
The President said he hoped the
United States, after the European war.
would be able to lift up a symbol of
the "still, small voice of humanity."
"Here in America." the President con
tinued, "we have tried to set the ex
ample of bringing all the world to
gether upon terms of liberty and co
operation and peace. Now the world
outside of America has felt the forces
of America; felt the forces of free
dom, the forces of common aspiration,
the forces that bring every man and
every nation 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 satis
faction of society?' "
After the President's address Gov
ernor Manning, of South Carolina, pre

BIG VOLCANO BUSY
Mauna Loa's Lava Fountains
Suddenly More Active.
STEAM RISES 20,000 FEET
Observer Sets Out in Auto to View
Eruption, Which Recalls Seeming
Miracle When Streams Di
vided at Call of Princess.
HONOLULU. T. II.. May 20. Streams
of lava are flowing from the volcano
of Mauna Loa. on the Island of Hawaii.
according to reports received here to
day. Immense clouds of steam and
volcanic smoke are rising 20,000 feet in
the air.
The eruption is apparently on the
West Side of the mountain. No fires
are visible from below, however.
Professor Thomas A. Jaggar. Jr., of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, who is director in charge of
the Kilauea volcano observatory, has
started in an automobile, for Mauna
Loa to investigate the reports of flow
ing lava. If Mauna Loa is actually
in eruption, the phenomenon is re
garded as important.
Lava Fountains Store Frequent.
Lava activity In the lire pit ot
Kilauea is unusually great and the
lava fountains that continually burst
from the lake of fire are of greater
frequency than usual, but there have
been no spectacular eruptions.
Kilauea. known locally as Hawaii's
tame volcano," is situated on the
eastern slope of Mauna Loa at an alti
tude of 4400 feet. It is one of the
largest active volcanoes in the world,
the crater being nearly nine miles in
circumference. The actual fire, how
ever, is confined to the pit of Halemau-
mau (the house of lire). about a
quarter of a -mile in diameter and sev
eral hundred feet below the rim of the
big crater which in former days was
itself a seething cauldron.
Violent Eruption Remembered.
Within the memory of many persons
living here Kilauea erupted with great
violence, sending a great river of
molten lava down the mountain in the
direction of Hilo, the chief city of the
island and the second city of the group.
It seemed inevitable that Hilo would
be destroyed. Princess Ruth, reputed
among the natives to have great in
fluence with Pelee, ' goddess of fire,
hurried to Hilo, knelt in front of the
moving stream of fire and prayed to
the goddess to spare the city.
Miraculously, it seemed to the
natives, the" river of fire split and the
resulting twin streams passed to right
and left. The lava came to within
half a -mile of Hilo.
Since that time, the crater has never
overflowed, though frequently the fire
pit is brimful.
The territorial government a few
years ago constructed an automobile
road to the volcano.
HOQUIAM MAY OIL STREETS
Council Trying to Get Away Prom
Sprinkling Expense.
HOQUIAM, Wash., May 20. (Spe
cial.) Tests of an oil emulsion for the
graveled streets of Hoquiam as a Sum
mer dressing to keep down the dust are
to be made soon and if successful It is
probable all of this class of streets of
the city will be treated with oil. Thus
far oil never has been used on Hoquiam
streets, though in several of the North
west cities it has been used.
Hoquiam has about 75 blocks of
gravel surfaced streets. Recently com
plaint of the dust nuisance along these
streets began to be made to the city
authorities. The cost of sprinkling
would be considerable, and the City
Commission is casting about for a
method by which this expense can be
avoided.
Pasco Adjusts Lighting Trouble,
PASCO. Wash., May 20. (Special.)
The controversy that has existed be
tween the city of Pasco and the Paciflo
Power & Light Company since Feb
ruary. 1915, has been settled by the
power company agreeing to substitute
at its own expense incandescent lights
of 100-candlepower in place of the arc
lights now used and to place the same
at points designated by the City Coun
ciL As a result of the agreement which
has been reached the cost to the city
of maintaining its lighting system will
be reduced $900 a year. During the
past two years the City Council hae
made a reduction of $2200 a year In
lighting expenses.
Carr Tries Insanity Plea.
WENATCHEB, Wash.. May 20.
(Special.) Insanity is the defense used
by Harry M. Carr, formerly of Leaven
worth, now of Spokane, iu his answer
Hi
filed in the Superior Court at Spokane
to the suit of Mrs. Emily Franklin and
her minor children to collect J40.000
damages for the death of their husband
and father. Carr also asserts in his
answer that Franklin was a moral per
vert and therefore of no value to his
family. Carr shot and killed Franklin
in the courtroom at Cashmere Decem
ber 7, 1914, while Franklin was being
tried on a serious charge. Carr was
acquitted as temporarily insane when
he did the shooting.

will participate, as well as the Boy

the lodges.
Alkali in Soap
Bad for. the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaseless). and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
Bllky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months. Adv.
FAVORITE SONS ARE
FILLED WITH HOPE
Astute Politicians, However,
Fear Colonel's Chances if
Deadlock Continues.
HUGHES STILL IS SILENT
Leaders Understand Justice Would
Accept Nomination if Tendered.
South Not to Cut Figure as
Great as Formerly.
BY JOHN CALLAN O LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON. May 20. In spite of
the belief of Republican political lead
ers that the Presidential nomination
will go either to Associate Justice
Hughes or Colonel Roosevelt, the fa
vorite sonji have by no means aban
doned hope.
The past week in Washington has
been noteworthy for the negotiations
which have been in progress among the
representatives of the men chosen in
various states. These negotiations have
paved the way to a combination de
signed to eliminate the jurist, now that,
in their opinion, Mr. Roosevelt seema
to be out of the running.
Favorite Sons Hope for Deadlock.
It is believed by the "favorite sons"
that if a deadlock can be brought
about in the Republican convention a
dark horse will be selected. It is their
hope in case such a situation is pro
duced to agree among themselves as to
the one that shall receive the support
of all.
It is a beautiful programme, but the
astute Republican politicians do not
believe it can possibly succeed. As a
matter of fact, a deadlock is the thing
these men most desire to avoid. Such
a condition, they insist, would result
in the certain nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. Unlike tHje "favorite sons,"
they do not for a moment look on the
Colonel as down and out. They know
that at least one-third of the delegates
will cast -theirballot for the ex-President
if the opportunity arises, and it is
possible that a couple of hundred of
others would follow their example and
thus Roosevelt would be nominated.
Hnghea Maintain Silence.
The associate justice preserves his
Sphinx-like silence, and those close to
him declare he will make no statement
as to his intentions except in case the
nomination should be tendered to him.
It was reported several -days ago that
ex-President Taft had said, following
a talk with Mr. Hughes, that the latter
undoubtedly would accept. This is the
understanding Of all the leaders in
Washington, but they deny that they
authorized Mr. Taft to sound the asso
ciate justice. They do not expect to
use Mr. Taft in the nomination cam
paign. although if Mr. Hughes should
be nominated he undoubtedly will take
the stump in behalf of the nominee.
The delegates from the South are not
looking with any degree of. favor on
the nomination of Mr. Hughes. They
want a man to be nominated and elected
President who would consider their
claims for patronage. The records of
Mr. Hughes as Governor of New Tork
is not such as to promise that they will
receive much consideration in the way
of jobs. It is this. fact, which, it is
declared, will be helpful to the nomina
tion of Colonel Roosevelt or one of the
favorite sons.
South to Be Leu Prominent.
A prominent Republican leader, how
ever, said today that the Southern dele
gates would not cut the figure in the
convention they have in the past. - He
insisted the North and West would do
the nominating and the South would
have to trail along.
In spite of this view it is significant
that determined efforts are being made
to line up the Southern delegates for
this or that candidate. Various agents
have been traveling through the South
holding conferences with National
Committeemen in that region, making
promises of what will be done for them
in return for their support. This ac-

Root 10, Scattering 171
Among the scattering are included
the delegates who are predisposed to
Hughes and Roosevelt. It is evident
the first ballot will not give a choice,
nor probably the second ballot. It will
be the third ballot which is expected
to result in the nomination. The friends
of all the "favorite sons" express con
fidence that their delegates will stick
to them to the last, and this is par
ticularly true of the managers for
Senator Weeks.
Fairbanks Not Negligible.
There has been a great deal of talk
about the Vice-Presidential situation.
It is suggested that if Mr. Hughes
should get the nomination the conven
tion would be wise to tender the Vice
Presidency to Charles W. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, who performed the duties of
this office with ability during the Ad
ministration of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr.
Fairbanks, however, will not be by any
means a negligible quantity in connec
tion with the Presidential nomination.
He will have the backing of Indiana
other stAtfiA And Spnntnr Penrose, under I
certain circumstances, might cast the
vote of the majority of Pennsylvania's
delegates for the Hoosler statesman.
There will be no contest over the
Presidency in the Democratic party,
and from the way things seem to be
going there promises to be no contest
to speak of over the Vice-Presidency.
The understanding in Washington is
that Vice-President Marshall is thor
oughly acceptable to Mr.. Wilson as, his
running mate.

ALEXANDER IN RAGE
Idaho Governor Will Seek
Re-election.
REPUBLICANS HAVE FLOCK
Thomas R. 1 lamer, Who Served One
Term in Congress, and ex-Govcr-nor.
Haines Are Most Recent
BOISE, Idaho, May 20. (Special.)
The successful gubernatorial candidate
at the Republican primaries will have
Governor Alexander as his opponent.
It can be said now with assurance that
the state's chief executive will be a
candidate to succeed himself, and will
have no opposition at the primaries.
Having remained out of the factional
fight within his party over the re-election
of National Committeeman Rob
ert H. Elder. Governor Alexander has
the support of the rank anu tile.
The name of Thomas R. Ilamer, of
St. Anthony, the Republican party
orator in Idaho, is being linked here
this week, with the Republican guber
natorial race. Mr. Hamer was in the
state's capital. He said his mission
was one of "private business." Asked
when he expected to announce his can
didacy for Governor he merely smiled
and jokingly remarked be did not
know. But there is more to the pos
sibility of Colonel Hamer entering
than a laugh. It is known that he has
been urged by leaders in the south
east to get into the primary race.
Cover lias Seen Kept.
Since his one term In the House of
Representatives, after which he was
defeated, by Burton L. French. Colonel
Hamer has remained, "under cover."

much-talked-of figure at the Twin
Falls state convention last Fall, when
he succeeded the temporary chairman,
Frederick C. Randall, of Lewiston. who

most stirring addresses he ever made
in Idaho. That feat may have brought
out the reports and rumors he may en

John M. Haines, of Boise, ex-Governor,
who was defeated at the last gen

also decide soon that he must get into
the race for the Republican nomina

The Republican party last election
lost no other candidate than the head
of the ticket on account of the de
falcations in the Treasurer's office, al
though several of them, including the
present Lieutenant-Governor and Attorney-General,
had close calls. The
greatest mistake Mr. Haines was held
to have made was in allowing the fa
mous Ramstedt report on the treasury
to be suppressed, and to this was
blamed his defeat two years ago.
Captain Davis Active.
Captain E. G. Davis, candidate tor
the Republican gubernatorial nomina
tion, made answer this week to the
persistent reports that have been re
peatedly published to the effect that
he might have to drop out of the race
because the War Department would
call in for active service all officers
on the reserve list on account of dis
ability. "I want to say that if the time ever
comes when the country needs my
services they will be tendered and Con
gress will not be under the necessity
of passing a law to make them avail

kinvi of patriot if I did not hold i
duty to my country as higher than any
personal ambition I might entertain."
