The field is large, There is work enough to do, but it s work that will be done. President: Edwin A. Alderman of the University of Virginia, who had been in- vited to deliver the annual charter day address, spoke eloquently and with effect in an analysis of the conditions in the past in the old South, laying stress upon the national service rendered by the old Southern life. ‘Then the new spirit that has come into the South, during the last twenty years, was referred to as “‘a fortunate character of its citizenship whether it Issugs out of the old stocks sobered and’ dignified by endurance and suffering or out of the ranks of the Southern people who inherit the English - consclousness.” Continuing, President Alderman said: “The South has changed the emphasis of its thought from personality to social and industrial progress. It has found that clvilization is an economic as weil as an ethical fact. It has séen the dignity and value of child- | gunge hood and of the common man to the gen- eral life. It has shifted ifs social, center of gravit from the courthouse to the schoolhouse and the umiversity. It is still conservative and idealistic in spite of the fact that the most amazing devel- opment in commercial and industrial lines modern times is going on in- that region.” SOUTH FACES NEW ERA. President Alderman emphasized the | probity and honesty of Southern public life drew a picture of the Southern boy “facing a new and fierce industrial- ism and a new democracy with its grandeur and its temptations and yet holding fast through the conservatism in his people fo the noble conceptions of public integrity and scorn of dishonor.” President Alderman in the course of his address said: I am glad to be here today, and T appre- clate heartily the privilege, the distinction, and the courtesy of this hour. California has al- ways Leen a maglc word to me, redeeming from dullness by its very name the geography hof my childhood, and by the lure of fts his- tory and the majesty of its achievement guite captivating the imagination of my manhood. Indeed, it is difficult for one to speak the lan- of moderation and restraint, who has traveled from the hills of Virginia to this other ocean, and who stands in the presence of this company of scholars and masters, his fel- low citizens in the republic .of letters, and under such a sky and in such an air as one could hope to find only here or-in old Hellas itselr. I bring an affectionate good will of the Uni- versity of Virginia to the University of Cali- fornia. They are blood” kin, the one to the other. The University of Virginla was the first deilberate gift of democratic idealism and human enthusiasm embodied In the mind and heart of a seer and a prophet to this nation and to this country. The University of Cali- fornia is the triumohant result of that same idealism and working principle into the units of democracy, able to Win its own way and to set its own temples wherever it wili, The dream of Thomas Jefterson, which was the dream of & frontiersman, standing upon the western line of American life, was hindered of its realization in the Old Dominion by civil and domestic tragedy, and has come to real- jzation here in this free and favored land, ig- norant of defeat and unhindered by economic misconception. ng you greetings from homogeneows Virginia to cosmopolitan Cali- fornia. GREAT STATES ALLIED. Although far apart and utterly different, they are yet curlously alike. Virginia is the moiher of statesmen and California the mother of States, Virginia, the Old. Dominion, which brought to the new world the note of Buropean feeling, and California the new. empire, which must be relied upon ‘to assimilate and edu- cate the Eastern world. Virginia is the State ihat did most to estabileh the Union and out of California came the influence that did most to preserve its integrity. Virginia helped mightlily to put California in the Unfon, and o give it the American consciousness,” and California helped mightily to keep Virginia in the Union and to give to it the modern Ameri- can spirit. To the thousands of Virginians seated on this oast, I have the Impulse to bring the affectionate membrance of the unforgetting old commonwealth that follows her sons wherever they go, with tender and thoughtful eye. It {s my purpose to speak to you to- day of the Southern section of our country, made distinctive by inheritance, by isolation, by physical influence in. economic history, in order that this region, being better understood, may be better served by the force that would and in the glow processes of renationalization. Secticnalism, as a.philosophy, as 4 creed, or as an opinion, has passed out of our life, ' In these senses it can never exist, for steel rails and Pullman cars have beaten us into a unity that not even war and debate could ever have achieved. But there are sucht things as sec- tions, in the republic. The South is a sec- tion, ‘the West isa section, and though uniike, they are so curiously inferwoven and inter- related as to bedt:ln !bro;hz One 1s reminded of the nor of peasant, who after hearing Bishop Howe preach, sald to him, “Bishop, 1 centainly en- Joyed your sermon,’'and 1 learned somethi which T do not always do in am glad (0 hear it, my good Bishop. ‘‘What did’you learn?”’ *‘Well,” the old fellow, hat Sodom and Gomorrah were- places, and durn me if I haven't been thinking for twenty vears that they was husband and wite.” The milliant Southeraer a5d w discovered the.

In the great heroic drama of the industrial and educational de- velopment of the Wesf, of the North, of the East, the European peoples have played a giani's part, but the South mothered it in its unconsclous and helpless® infancy and stamped it with its temper and its feeling as mothers do, and when the soldiers of the two sec- tions met in the Western armies it was the impact of brothers. . SPIRITUAL SENSE OF WEST. But after all the West {s an idea as well as a geographical term. It is a spirit as well as a section, it is a condition as well as & reglon. Wherever old social conditions are being transformed by the influence of new lands and new Ideals and new peoples into new social conditions that land {s also the West in a spiritual sense as truly as. it the conditions were reversed. The South is the real West today in this large spiritual sense, plus three hundred years of background and tradition. Like a belated army it s just entering upon - the -conquest of the. m world, and in return for its motherly devotion to the West when motherhood was a flerce oc- cupation she South expects its chid grown info a glantess to mother it a little, to hlv it to & conception of twentieth century A fcanism, to aid it in renationalizing its r and to prove to it by noble example th &a mighty industrial and material energles of a .people whose paths have always been free run an unimpeded course may be bent to lhfl uses of culture and development of an efficlent, serene and refined democracy. The big “C” on Charter Hill was for- mally transferred to the custody.of the freshmen by the sophomores this morn- ing. The numerals of the '09 class were substituted for those of '08. Professor Edwards spoke of the significance of the event, referring to the .old Charter day rushes, for which the present custom of keeping the big *“C’". intact on the hill was substituted. - President -Duggan of the sophomore class gave a deed for the big “C” to President Cunningham of the freshman class, and the ceremony was over. Luncheon was served to the soph- omores by the women of the class in Hearst Hall at nioon. The freshmen were entertained by the freshman' girls at Stiles Hall at luncheon. President Alderman was the guest this evening of President and Mrs. Wheeler. ——— YOUNG WIFE FINDS ROMANCE BLASTED Mrs. Rosa Ragusa - Obtains Warrant for Mrs. Giovan- na Locapo’s Arrest. Mrs. Rosa Ragusa, wife of . Charles Ragusa, proprietor of the Diamond Soda Water Works at 413 Broadway,. obtained a warrant from Police Judge Conlan yes- terday for the arrest of Mrs. Giovanna Locapo, a widow, llving at 1403 Mason | street. The bhonds.were fixed in $2000 or $1000 cash. : Mrs. Ragusa is a beautiful Ttalian wo- man, 23 years of age. She came from Italy about seven months ago to Black Diamond, Alameda County, to a young rancher there, but she met, 58 and he induced her to marty him. He owned considerable, property there and that influenced her to change her Intnd, it is sald. Mrs, Ragusa alleges she has dlloDv. ered that her husband had been for.years prior to their marriage living with Mrs. Giovanna, and since their marriage he his continued his open and notorious re- lations with the woman against her pro- tests. ‘While Mrs. Ragusa was leaving the office of her attorney, J.

S. Senatorship Advent of Western Pacific and Situation South Con- fuse the Railroad Forces Twenty State Senators to be chosen by the voters of California at the genmeral election next November will hold office for four years or throughout the sessions of the Legislature of 107 and 19098, and will therefore have the privilege of voting for a United States Senator to succeed Hon. George C. Perkins, whose present term will expire in March, 1909. It is common gossip in political circles that the Senator is already in line as a candldate for another term. It is within the range of ‘probability that Hon. Victor H. Met- calf, Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, may enter the field as’ an aspirant for Senatorial honors. Gossip goes that W. B. Bourn of San Francisco may figure in the list of can- didates. As the junior United States Sehator, Frank P. Flint, 1s a resident of Los Angeles, the politiclans contend that the “other Senator” should be given to Central or Northern Califor: There are indications that the Republi- cans will galn a State Senator in the Fourth Senatorial District, now repre- sented by J. B. Banford, Democrat. The counties of Mendoeino, Glenn, Colusa and Lake comprise this district. Report comes that Charles M. Hammond of Lake Coun- ty, the uncl¢ of Alice. Roosevelt Long- worth, will be nominated by the Repub- ficans of the distriet for the State Sen- ate. Mr. Hammond is an enterprising man of affairs and would surely develop strength as a candidate for legislative honors. It is not possible for the Repub- licans to make many gains, as the Demo- crats had only four of the forty Senators, and ong of these four, B. J. Emmons, has been expelled. There is an impression that Henry T. Oxnard will not be a candidate for the United States Senate In 1909, and that therefore George Hatton may be free to accept the management of Senator Per- king’ interests in the campaign for the election of the twenty State Senators. Around .the hotel corridors one often hears the remark that Senator Perkins does not stand high in the favor of the Bouthern Pacific Company. It is said that his recent declaration in favor of Dr. Par- dee’s renomination for Governor was not commended by W. F. Herrin. Influences of the Western FPacific In $an Francisco and the break between Huntington and Harriman in Los An- geles have had a demoralizing tendency in what is known as the railroad camp of politiclans. It is noted that aspirants for political homnors are not pledging ev- erything in sight to gain the favor of rail- road eorporations. In the south several of the old time lieutenants of the Southern Pacific are now with H. E. Huntington, and in the north quite g_few of the ‘“‘old guard” of the Southern Pacific are train- ing with the Western Pacific people. _— Congregation Hears Cantor. The Rev. Heinrich N.

Davis having chosen the East for hls future career, Rev. Mr. Heller is a candidate for the va- cant position. Other candidates will be heard. Rev.
