f TO COMMUNITY PRIDE
I Newberry College Is In Large Meas^
are Our School?The Call Is
V Made to Each One.
y . To the Citizens of the town and
county of Newberry:
m t 1
It i3 the purpose or xsewoerry college
to ask the citizens-of the town
and county of Newberry, who are
not members of the Lutheran church,
to make during the month of December
contributions in cash and subscriptions
for equipment and ehdowp
ment of the college. The citizens of
the county who are members of the
Lutheran church have already been
canvassed* in behalf of the^Summerland-Newberry
$300,000 drive. The
success of this drive among the
Lutherans of the state has been very
gratifying and there is no doubt that
the top will easily be reached.
The college is asking the citizens
to consider this request having in
rmind, not only the educational and
moral value of the college, but also
its purely business value. Within
the next three years the college
management expects to use its share
of the $300,000 fund, and this share
^ will be $200,00 to pay every penny
W of indebtedness, tk> construct a
I v modern dormitory, to repair other
buildings, to add to the equipment 01
the laboratories, and to increase by
$75,000 the permanent endowment.
This additional endowment together
with other certain sources of income
will enable the college to add at
least four new members to the faculty
and to employ several instructors to
aid in the scientific and the language
work.
Witji the equipment in buildingss
and the increase in the teaching
force, fee college can ask for 300
pupils each year, and tbere seems
little doubt that this enrollment can
Now, & few figures: 50 of these
students will be from town and the
surrounding community. On each
there will be a saving of at least
$300 a year compared with the cost
of sending the students away to college.
250 students will board here.
i .Each will spend in Newberry at least
$300 a year. This means that the
citizens will save by sending their
boys and girls to their*'home college
. $15,000 and that outside students
* will spend in the town $75,000. The
business men of this town and county
Are respectfully asked to studyJthese
figures.
The sum of money mentioned does
not provide for all the needs of the
college. Money is needed for repairing
and, reequipping the gymnasium,
for the equipment of the
-athletics department and the improve

the enlargement of the athletics
fields, and for a large increase in the
number of books in our college
library. In the pleasures and benefits
of each one of these the citizens of
this county can share.
In each drive put on by the differ
ent colleges in this state the citizens
of the town and cotfhty, irrespective
of denominational lines, are asked to
contribute liberally to their local college,
and in each case so far, thsy
have done this. It is not to be expected
that the citizens of Newberry,
county will be less loyal to our col,
lege, nor have less pride in its success.
Already three public-spirited
? ? i t> 4-;?
men 01 |\ WDerry, one a. uauust, wire
an Ass j :e Reformed Presbyterian,
and the other a Presbyterian, have
each voluntarily offered to contribute
$1,000 when the time comes for the
local work.
Think carefully, citizens of the
town and county and when about
December 15 you are asked to come
to the support of your college, be
ready and willing and liberal. You i
can divide your subscription into

SENATE EFFORTS FAIL
1 TO RATIFY PEACE PACT
i
i
| Body Finally Lays Document Aside.
Three Attemps End in
Failure.
I .
Washington, Nov. 19.?Failing
(after three attempts to ratify the
j peace treaty the senate late tonight.
i laid it aside, ended the special ses
sion and went home.
j All compromise efforts to bring
j ratification failed, the three resoluj
tions of ratification all going down
j by overwhelming majorities. The
} Republican leaders apparently desi
pairing of bringing two-thirds of the
j senate together for any sort of rati- j
| fication then put in a resolution to!
-
j declare the war at an end.
Two of the three ratification votes j
were taken on the resolution drafted !
by the Republican majority contain-!
ing reservations which President
Wilson had told Democratc senators
in a letter earlier in the day would i
mean nullification of the treaty. On
each of the votes most of the Democratic
supporters of the treaty voted
against ratification.
j The first vote dri this resolution
j stood 39 for to 55 against. On the
| second vote taken after several hours
of parliamentary wrangling in which
the Democrats made vain efforts to
win over some of the Republican
group of mild reservationists, 41 senators
voted in the affirmative and 51
in flip negative.
The third vote was on a straight
out ratification without reservations
which got only 38 votes to 53 opposing
it. Only one Republican, McCumber,
of North Dakota voted with
the Democrats in its support.
Difference of Opinion.
Republican Leader Lodge declared
X* "
today's voting constituted a final decision
on the peace treaty unless
President Wilson circumvented the
senate rules by withdrawing it and
then submitting it again to the senate.
-In other quarters, there was some
difference of opinion, but the general
sentiment seemed to be that thei^e
was only a slender chance that tne i
treaty would come up at the begin-!
nirig of the next session of congress,
beginning next month. .
One effect of the senate's failure
to ratify the? treaty will be the continuation
of various war tin* laws
and regulations at least until the new
session opens. Among these is .the
var tir.ie prohibition act.
* * - * J-?i _i- j. J. i
The resolution presented luingm iu i
declare a state of peace will come up
at the beginning of the next session
and is expected to start another stubborn
fight. The administration is understood
to be opposed to such a
method of legally ending the war, 1
and in the back ground is a ccnsti-!
I tutional question as to whether con- j1
i- -- u_. _ ?1
gress can ao so uy a rcsuiu^wn aw .
requiring the president's signature.
It was suggested tonight among .
Democratic senators that President j
Wilson might be asked during the re- .
ppss to feel out the other powers as 4
to their attitude on reservations with
the idea of bringing the treaty to ;
some sort of a ratification after con- j
?ress reassembles. ]
Finally Put Aside.
It was on a viva voce vote that the j
treaty after being before the sen- <
ate for many weks then was laid i
On Senator Lodere's motion to ]
take up legislative business no roll *
call was requested and the vice presi- 1
dent declared it adopted by acclamation.
]
Senator Lodge, after adjournment ]
tonight declared "the treaty is dead j i
so far as this senate is concerned." (
Republican leaders said the senate i
need not advise the president of its i
action nor return the treaty to him
with formal notice. j
"The president may withdraw it <
when the senate reconvenes," Sena- j
tor Lodge said, "and, of course, he I
can then resubmit it in the next session.
<
"But the treaty is dead in this sen- t
ate and they killed it as I told them i
they would if they voted against it."
Senator Hitchcock said that the t
treaty was not dead and that he pre- 1
sumed the president would resubmit i
it on December 1, although he had no c
definite word from the president to
that effect. He said he thought the s
Republicans had worked themselves
"into a very awkward position" and 1
split themselves in the senate fcnd the ?
country. t
