THE ISLAND OF SANTO DOMINGO

Another resolution has broken gu,
publics on this island are in 4 ron
slant state Of turmoil and rebellion.
That is their normal condition. 4
period of peace is only an intertude
between two revolutions. These ne
groes have fully demonstrated the fact
that they are not comp-.cnt 10 govern
themselves. They need ne ,pntrol Of
soma Caucasian race. The United
States does not want them. So long
as present conditions continue the is
land will not offer any inducements for
immigration of white people. How
then can their condition be improved?
Why not then make his island an
exception to the principles of the
Monroe doctrine and let some Eu-
rOpean power step n and take control.
Such an owner could be easily found.
Germany would be glad enough to Sc
cure possession of an island in the
West indies and she would not be
long in finding an excuse for annex-
ing this island if our government
would give her a hint that she would
not object to her doing SO. But,
really, what is to become of this is
Twentieth century civilization. and
there seems to be no prospect of it's
Improvement. Is il to remain for all
time a half civilized, almost harbarous
population which defies the white ma

lie schools of Guilford county. Among
these pledges was one by Hon. Z. V.

erations. Now hat the system has
been run long enough to be operated
without friction or arrangement of
schedule Mr.. Taylor has announced that
on Saturday of this week, one half of
all car fares will be given to redeem
the pledge. Everybody is going to
ride. The Normal. G. F. girls, graded
school children are expected to travel
until they get SeaSick, while busy mer-
chants, bankers n others are arrang-

Winona, Mimi, July 28.-Secretary r.

association is home from the annual
meeting recently held at Minneapolis and
a sojourn at Lake Minnetonka. The time
at the lake DR.. Shepard and family spent
very pleasantly with A. G. Lane and fami-
ly Of Chicago. just at the close, however,
he met with an accident, that has since
compelled him to use crutches.e
Dr. Shepard and several assistants have
already commenced work on the prepara-
tion Of the annual volume Of the proceed
ings of the convention. It has been GUS
tomary in the past to get out this book
about the first of December but 1t will be
issued about month earlier this year.
The work now receiving the immediate
attention of DR.. Shepard Is the checking
up of papers and discussions at the recent
convention preparatory to being edited
for the annual volume, and making rec
ord of the, enrollment and financial re-
ceipts. sa
= The actual enrolment at the conyen-
ton, DR. Shepard says. was between $500
and 5000. To this enrolment Is to be
added, before the books are closed, some
1900 active members not present at the
Minneapolis convention, but who will pay
their dues. This will bring the enrolment

up to larger figure than 1t was at the
Detroit convention, and larger than at
any previous convention except at Los
Angeles and Denver. Dr. Shepard says
that but for action of the railways In
making cheap rates sto minnesota prior TO
the National Educational association con-
vention the enrolment at the Minneapolis
convention would probably have been the
largest in the history of the association.
AS it was the actual attendance at con-
vention sessions was prbably the larg-
est.
The place for holding the next conven-
tion. DR.. Shepard says, is still open, not
withstanding the papers have said that in
all likelihood it would be Boston. The
executive committee will meet in October,
and at that time will open negotiations
with the railroads as to rates. If favor
able rates and ticket conditions are Sc
cured Boston will likely be selected, but,
in the event there is disagreement the
convention will likely go to Montreal.
DR.. Shepard has already entered into cor
respondence with President Eliot, who has
taken up the work of the presidency OF
the association with yigor and purposes
to leave nothing undone that will make
the next convention success, whether 1t
be held in Boston or elsewhere.
