TmE RACE rROnLEM CONFERENCE

The conference on race problems which
is to take place at Montgomery Ala, on
May 8, 9 and 10. promises to be of unusual
interest The conference Is TO be held I'M
der the auspices of "A Southern Society
for the promotion of the study of race con-
ditions and problems in the South" The
members OF the society are Influenced by
the most CONNIE ndable spirit They real
ize that the negro is In this country to
stay, and they desire TO find out the way
for dealing with the racial difficulties
which are continually cropping out that
Will be best for both the whites and the
blacks.
Some very eminent speakers viii ad-
dress the conference on appropriate sub
jects Among them are Gov. Johnston and
ex-Secretary Of the Navy Herbert. Bourke
Cochran, Clifton r. Breckenridge, Gov.
McCorkle and Dr. Curry. In inviting
speakers care has been taken to select
those who are known to have given the
race question a good deal of careful
thought
No immediate results Of a beneficial
character are likely to flow from this con-

there win set the whole country thinking
on the race problem, and much thinking
by many minds will eventually find the
solution of the problem. The addresses
that will be made at the conference Will
be the text for many newspaper and mag
azine articles, so that what is said at the
conference will eventually reach the peo-
pie of the entire country.
While the conference will be controlled
by Southern men, the freest expression of
opinion will be invited. The desire is TO
have the race question discussed from
every possible point of view. 1t is ques-
ton which has hindered, and continues to
hinder, the progress of the South. The
Southern people would like to have a per-
manent settlement of it.
The Importance of having it settled is
made evident by racial difficulties which
are cropping out all the time. These diff
culties will increase as the negro popula-
ton increases unless a way is found to
prevent them.
Arrangements have been made for the
discussion of the question, rs Lynching

This is only one however, of the many
phases of the race question which will
be presented. The conference will be an
interesting one, and is certain to set the
people thinking about one of the most
troublesome questions that disturb the
peace and harmony of the American peo-
nile

How He Got Even.

Some people are philosophical enough to
accept defeat gracefully; others nurse
their wrath and waste much time in a
mistaken effort to get even" says the
Youths Companion. OF one of these lat
ter a Chicago paper tells an amusing
Story.
A man came to a Chicago hotel one
day, and took his dinner outside with a
friend When he came to pay his bill he
found himself charged with a days
beard, dinner and all He protested The
clerk tried to explain that the American
plan was based strictly upon time, and
that If he chose to eat elsewhere it was
his own lookout, but the man would not
be pacified.
He paid his bill under protest. Then he
asked if dinner was still on and was in
formed that 1t lasted until in the even
ing.
Then I'll go and tackel it!' he ex-
claimed. I've eaten one dinner. but I'm
going to get my moneys worth out of this
house, or perish in the attempt"
He rushed into one of the dining-rooms,
seized a bill OF fare, and ordered every
thing he could think Of When he finally
got to the end of his tether the waiter
handed him a check for $40.
What's that for?" he asked in sur
prise
Your dinner SIR
But have already paid for my dinner
in my BILL" he protested. I'm staying
here on the American PLAN
Then you should have gone to the 9TH
err dining-room," said the waiter. This
is the European plan cafe"
The man paid the bill and walked out.
His feelings must have been heavy, both
in body and mind.
