Norfolk, Va., Special- Govcrnot Hughes, of New York, and Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton Uni versity, were the orators of the day at the joint Independence Day eeles oration and first annual reunion of the lineal descendants of thc signers of the Declaration of Independence July 4th. -Thc reunion was held un der the auspices of thc Thomas Jef ferson Memorial Association, of which former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert, is thc acting pres ident. "One really responsible man in jail," he said, "one real originator of thc schemes and transactions which are contrary to thc public lu tcrst legally lodged in thc pen, would be worth more than a thousand cor porations mulcted in fines, if the. te** fora is to be genuine." What this country needs, Mr. Wil son set forth, is not government own ership of railroads, etc., but laws that will attack and punish presi dents and general managers of rail roads, for evasions and violations of the statutes. Stock manulipators he calls "sheer thefts" and says they should be punished as such. Failure to do so, in his mind, is "like .over looking highway robberies.' "Every corporation," thc educa tor stated, " is personally directed either by some one dominant person or by some group of persons. Some body in particular is responsible for ordering or sanctioning every illegal act committed by its agents or of ficers; but neither our law of per sonal damage nor our criminal law has sought to seek the responsible persons out and hold them individu ally accountable for the acts com plained of. We have never attempt ed such statutes. We indict corpora tions themselves, fiud them guilty "of illegal practices, fine them and leave the individuals who devise and exe cute the illegal acts free to discover new evasions." Such acts could be passed and should be if we are to better onr in>j dustrial ' condition?, Mr. Wilson be lieves; _ Unless ; something of this ture is done "and donV qtiicly, he "leurs Socialism will result. It is just as absurd, he said, to^xtv diet or dissolve colorations for of fenses against the public as it would be to arrest and confiscate autom> bilcs because their owners killed pe destrians.

"The good class of negroes is iu elligent, progressive and rcsorceful. ts religion is not a sham. Its educa ion has not spoiled it and its devo ion to duty is not inspired by the loaves and fishes.' Its ideals arc good, "It will be best for all parties ii! rholcsome and elevating. If all Lmcrican negroes were of this class, here would bc no 'negro problem.' "It will be best for all prties if he white man, strong and dominant, nil look seriously and sympatheii ally at thc weaker and thc depon ent race, and seeing him, just as e is, intelligently set about aiding im."

Aked, the high salaried pastor brought from England by John D. Rockefeller, preached his last sermon for the summer at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and advised the members of his congre gation to get out of town, rest, for get troubles, debts, newspapers, tele phones and business. City life of to day, especially In such cities as New York, ls almost enough to drive men crazy, said Dr. Aked, and thc only medicine that will rest the body and clear the brain is to be found in the quiet places of the country.

We live more than twenty-four hours in the day and more than seven days in the week.

PASTOR SAYS 0 A SUMMER VACATION Body and Clear the Brain is io Bc laces o? the lojnlry. * 3R RIGHT LIVING AND RIGHT THINKING words are bitter mockery, for whom no changing seasons bring cessation from toil and weariness. "What of them in these days of summer sun shine audjoy? "There should be none such, ex cept the vicious. And Christianity cannot rest while such mortals live, disfranchised of their right to rest and happiness. The unaccomplished mission ofour faith is the redress of every economic inequality. There ls no gospel which is not a gospel of so cial service. We live to bring all mankind iuto the family of God. But meanwhile, while such poverty re mains, while stich evil conditions sad- - den and appall us, what right have we td our holidays, to our happiness? Can we sit at our feast blindfold, or dare we open out* eyes? What right have we to any feast while our broth ers starve in the midst of plenty? None, if our lives are wrong.

A Remittance. A Southern lawyer tells of a judge in Arkansas who had several "tiffs" with a lawyer retained by a woman who had instituted a breach of prom ise suit in the court presided over by the judge in question. After each exchange of repartee be tween his Honor and the imprudent counsel, the judge would say: "Clerk, just enter another fine of $10 against Mr. Mitchell for contempt of court" - When this sort of thing had pro ceeded further than counsel wished, he addressed his Honor in this wise: "If your Honor please, I am a good citizen, and, as such, intend to obey the orders of the honorable Court in this, as fn all other ino tances. Now, your Honor, lt so happens that I have not about me the sum of $30 for which I have been mulcted for contempt Therefore, I shall be com pelled to borrow such sum from some friend; and I see no one present whose friendship I enjoy so much as your honor's, gk) I make no hesita tion in approaching your Honor for a loan to square the fines assessed against me." With just the faintest smile about his Hps, his Honor looked first at counsel and then at the clerk. "Clerk," said he at last, "remit Mr. Mitchell's fines.

Traces of a Great City on the 8Ite of Rome Before Roman Days. Information has been received from Rome of new archaeological discov eries on tie Palatine Hill which tend to confirm by new evidence the hypo thesis advanced some years ago by Giacomo Boni, director of the Forum excavations, that a people much more ancient than the earliest Romans so far recognized once occupied the site of Rome. .:? '->? Signor Boni, who has successively ancovered vestiges of the empire, .re public and kingdom, has found along the Via Sacra tombs in the form of wells, with pottery, jewelry/, amulets and skeletons, which he believes are of a people who lived mueh anterior to the: Romans properly so called. The^pfecpveries havo^caused many controversies. The utmost admitted was ^i^^afe people had occupied the termor^-prior to the time that Romulustffind Remus are reputed to have founded the Eternal City. Re ently ex,CTtzations of the Palatine Hill have br?tt^?t "ior light sepulchres of great antiquity, apparen?y sustaining Signer Boni'g^pntentlons.
