SPEECH EPOCHAL
SAYS DANIELS
Declares Speech Will Live as
the “Mobile Declaration.”
Underwood Struck
Keynote
Atlanta, October 28.—“President Wil
son's speech yesterday at Mobile was
epochal; it will live in history as the
‘Mobile Decleratlon,’ ” declared Secre
tary^of the Navy Josephus Daniels here
today. “Ir. was a logical and neccesary
addition to the Monroe doctrine. That
doctrino still is our pillar of cloud, but
since the United States acquired Porto
Kico, the Philippines and the Panama
canal zone, there has been a growing
suspicion that we were falling into the
ways of some other nations; that wo
were using the Monroe doctrine to keep
other nations out of the Latin-Ainerican
republics but would go In ourselves
whenever wo felt like it.
"The 'Mobile Declaration* effectually
has put an end to any such thought, it
has shown Europe where we stand, and
it should allay suspicion for all time
and bring us into closer spiritual re
lationship with the countries to the
south.’’
Makes Uriel Stop
Secretary Daniels made a brief stop
in Atlanta en route, from Mobile to ills
borne In Raleigh, N. C., where lie will
spend all day tomorrow attending to
private affairs. This programme was
taken to mean that Ihe Secretary, and
the administration at Washington, dkt
not regard Mexican matters as acute
at this time. Mr. Daniels today ex
pressed the belief that the situation In
Mexico soon would adjust Itself and
that It would not be necessary for this
country to act In any way except In
friendly capacity. He Impressed this
opinion upon all with whom ho talked.
Mr. Daniels said:
'At Mobile last night Majority Dead
er Underwood of the House of Repre
sentatives characterized the tariff and
currency legislation undertaken in the
present Congress as the greatest, legis
lative progress of a decade. I believe
the country appreciates that fact.
"To the legislative programme of the
present administration, however, should
be added fou ,11-importnnt features of
an executive programme.
“The first of these was the ‘Mobile
Declaration,’ this country would not
voluntarily acquire another Inch of ter
ritory. The second feature of the pro
gramme was the recognition by tills
country of the republic of China. Amer
ica always has been a beacon for re
publics and will assist any republic
founded upon constitutional liberty.
inira reaiure
"A third feature of ttie administra
tions executive programme was the
sending of Burton Harrison to the Phil
ippines with instructions which showed
it to be the policy of this country to
go forward with Philippine independ
ence as quickly as can wisely be done.
"The fourth feature was the imposi
tion of Secretary of State Bryan, now
accepted In principle by a score of na
tions, for the holding of conference
prior to a declaration of war, .with no
Increase In armaments during the dis
cussion of differences."
As to a battleship programme the
Secretary of the Navy said the present
administration indorsed the plan of
Wenston Churchill for a cessation tn
the competition resulting in overgrown
Iia-vii S and excessive expenditures for
military establishment.
“No one nation, however, can control
its own programme," he added. "The
United States cannot do so; neither can
England, it will be necessary for the
large nations to act in unison. I am
sure the United States is ready to co
operate in any such plan.”

LARGE ATTENDANCE
I)r. Bateman Speaks During
the Afternoon
GIFT FROM W. C. T. U.
Mr. Pearce and Dr. Williamson De
liver Inspiring Addresses at the
Night Session of Bible
Training School
TlLe second day’s sessions of the Bible* I
Training school began at 3:30 o’clock yes
terday afternoon. The attendance was
even larger than on the first day and
great Interest was manifested.
Dr. Batesman’s address on the “Open
Book’’ was the feature of the afternoon
session, and immediately following that
came the “methods'’ in charge of a corps
of experts. Mrs. H. M. Hamill was in
charge of the primary work, Miss Batch
elder of the junior and Miss Kennedy of
the girls’ work. Mrs. Goyer was in
charge of the women’s department and
W. C. Pearce of the pastors. Mrs. Finch
presided.
Dr. W. J. Williamson delivered the sec
ond address of his series on the book of
Phillppians, and then the lessons were
taken up. Following these came supper,
and quite enough sandwiches to go round
were on hand, the committee being mind
ful of the first night’s lunch, when a large
number of the students went hungry.
The sessions were resumed at 7 o’clock
and soon after that hour a bunch of
flowers came to the rostrum as a gift
from the Women’s Christian Temperance
union to the Birmingham Sunday School
association. The reports of the various
departments were then flashed upon a
screen with stereopticon machine and
each slide was generously applauded.
Mr. Pearce Speaks
W. C\ Pearce took the stand immedi
ately. following the showing of these re
ports, and delivered an address on “Re
ligious education and Business.” He sub
mitted four propositions to his hearers,
showing that religious education was vital
to the business Interests of the country.
He said that religious education was the
chief supnort of business and that with
out it business could not be conducted.
Kveiy enterprise in this city.” said Mr.
Pearce, “is maintained by the high tastes,
the good Judgment, the economy and the
industry of the better element of the city.
If the merchants do not believe that, l
would like to take away from them all
of tbe{»* customers who are clean, honest
and religious. A man may not be a pro
| less mg c nnstian, but he still has mem
ories of the teaching given him by his
| mother. He had the spirit of honesty in
stilled into his being from childhood up.
| Mid let me take that class of trade away
from your merchants and they will go
oankrupt.”
Mr. Pearce said that the second of liis
propositions was that religious education
is* a gr**at relief to business. The third
was that it challenges business men for
their support and the fourth that it is
the best investment business men will
ever have. Mr. Pearce said that he could
not help but admire the great buildings
of Birmingham and complimented the.
contractors who undertook to erect such
; towers of steel.
l)r. Williamson’s Address
Dr. J. W. Williamson, pastor of the
Third Baptist church of St. Louis, made
the closing address of the evening and
as he mounted the steps leading to the
rostrum, said: "I am not going to speak
on the subject given In the printed pro
gramme; my subject is to be 'The Inter
national Sunday School Association and
Christian Unity.' ”
The speaker said that the trend of the
times was towards Christian unity, but,
he also stated, "we are not now' ready
for it and I doubt if we over will be.”
Ho described the differences between
union and unity by quoting a friend of
his who said: "You can take two cats
and tie their tails together and throw
them across a clothes wire. You will
then have a brilliant example of union
without unity.” Dr. Williamson said that
If unity of the churches ever did come It
would be at the expense of w'eak doc
trines. The fittest would survive, for.
he said, all could not live. Some must
die und the weakest would be the first
to go. He advocated Christian unity, ;
but said that Christian unity did not
necessarily mean union of the churches.
The Christians of any community can get
together an<0wfork for the common good,
without the sacrifice of a single principle,
he said.
ui . \\ iniHiiiauii imiMieu inn uuuicas vuui
these words:
“Birmingham can never he taken for
Christ by the denominations working
separately. We must stand shoulder to
shoulder in the task. We may-wot yet be
ready for Christian union, in fact T think
we are not, but this organization Is not
concerned with doctrines: it deals soleiv
with methods, and there is here a largo
field in common. T shall never give my
allegiance to any interdenominational or
ganization which does not result in the
upbuilding and vitalizing of the local
church, for the local church is God’s
ordained institution for bringing in the
Kingdom of God: and for this reason I
am always exceedingly careful about go
ing Into any interdenominational organi
zation.
“But this is precisely the reason why
I believe in and love the International
Sunday School association and its work,
because it Is free from every objection
that Is made against othpf interd*»no "’na
tional organizations. This International
Sunday School organizat'on stands in a
class to itself; it has always appealed
to me and I love it devotedly. 1 do not
believe it possible to be too loyal in our
support or it. It does not attempt any
permanent organization Independent of
the churches. The whole field of its
operation is in the local church. It meas
ures all the results of its activity by
what it can do for the local church. It
bears all its fruit in the local church,
the individual Sunday school and even the
smallest class in the Sunday school. Anri
bocause whatever fruit the international
Sunday school organization bears is in
variably In the local church of the liv
ing nod. T love it and have always loved
it. The field and scone of its operation
is methods, net doctrines, and there is a
vast field of methods which do not touch
denominational matters. It throws its
life and ’nfluence back of the church. *
The school will open at 3:30 o’clock
this afternoon for the third day’s work.
W. C. Pearce will be the first speaker
■ ami will address the matriculates on
“Sunday School Evangelization.”

CUMMINS ATTACKS
NEW TARIFF LAW
Act Either Ignorantly or
Maliciously Discrima
tory Says Republican
Taunton, Mass., October 2S.—National
politics wan Injected Into the state cam
paign tonight by Senator Albert B. Cum- j
mins of Iowa. Speaking here with Con
gressman A. P. Gardner, republican can
didate for governor. Senator Cummins
attacked the democratic tariff bill and
declared the rank and file of the republi
can party would come into its own at the
iiext national convention on the basis of
republican strength in the several states
and not upon the absurd indefensible
plan now in force."
"As 1 look at It," said the senator,
"the supremacy of the democratic party
is a disaster and we must retrieve it
very soon if we would escape the fatal
consequences of a policy that has never
failed to bring ruin upon the industrial
and commercial structure which houses
the mutlitudes of hard working, efficient
men and women who have given the
United Htates the distinction it now en
joys."
Speaking of the tariff act he said: "It
is either ignorantly or maliciously dis
criminatory and open the doors for that
increase of imports which must before
a year passes leave tens of thousands of
laboring men and women without employ
ment they now have.
"If you want our country to maintain
the high place we have heretofore oc
cupied you will install a reasonable pro
tective system—not the excessive duties
of the Payne-Aldrich law, but duties that
will measure the difference between our
cost and the cost of other lands. I be
lieve the republican party is the organiza
tion to make the fight."
E.
Montgomery, October 28.—(Special.)
W. B. Feagln, secretary and treasurer

Weather Conditions
Birmingham. October 28.— (7 p. m.)
The pressure continues high over the
gulf states and relatively cool weath
er has prevailed throughout the cot
ton belt during the past 24 hours, al
though a slight barometric depression
extending along the western side of
the Mississippi valley has caused tern*,
peraturea to rise slightly in central
sections.
An extensive area of high pressure
overlies the entire country west of the
Mississippi river, except the extreme
southwest, and its central area has
moved from tho Pacific northwest to
the upper Missouri valley during tho
past 24 hours. Its passage has been
attended by rain or snow In northern
portions of tho Rockies and the plains
sections, and by a decided fall in tem
perature over the entire Rocky moun
tain division and tho western half of
tho Mississippi basin. This change
ranges about 18 degrees in New Mex
ico, western Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas,
and the upper Mississippi valley, and
about 28 degrees in Nebraska and Iowa.
It has caused 7 p. m. readings below
20 degrees in the Dakotas and freez
ing weather over the Rockies and the
valley states west of.the Mississippi
as far south as southern Oklahoma.
Temperatures have risen over east
ern Texas. Louisiana and the central
cotton states and have fallen over
Georgia and the eastern districts.
Conditions seem to indicate generally
fair and pleasant weather in this sec
tion Wednesday, followed by unsettled
conditions and cooler weather by night
or Thursday.
