 Stop at Durham.
 At Durham. where a stop of about ten minutes was made the President devoted his remarks to the students Of Trinity College, who were gathered in force to greet him. A fiat car had been converted into a gaily decorated stand and from this the President spoke He was accompanied to the stand by Lieutenant Governor Winston, who officiated at Raleigh owing to the absence of Governor Glenn, caused by the death of his brother, and by Uni- ted States Senators Simmons and Overmann.

 There must be no coercion of opin- 1s,i. tr f~ hRfVS Sp forth full fruit. You men of this col lege, you men throughout the South who have had collegiate training, you men throughout the Union who have had collegiate training, bear q peculiar burden of responsibility. I want you to have a good time, and I believe you do. l believe in play with all my heart. Play when you play. but work when you work, and remember. that your having gone through college does not so much confer a special privilege as it imposes special obligation on you. We have a right to expect a special quality of leadership from the men to whom much has been given in the way of collegiate education.
 Peculiar Accountability.

 Each one of you, if he is worth his salt. wishes when he graduates, to pay some portion of the debt due to his alma mater You have received from her, during your years of attendance in her halls, certain privileges in the way of scholarship, in the way of compan- ionship, which makes 1t incumbent up- on you to repay what you have been given
 You cannot repay that to the col lege save in one way, by the quality of your citizenship as displayed in the ac- tual affairs in life. you can make 1t an honor to the collegs to have sent you forth into the great world. That is the only way in which you can repay to the college what the college has done for you.
 'I earnestly hope and believe that you and those like you in all the col leges of this land will make it evident to tfe generation that is rising that YOU are fit to take le7de rship, that the training has not been wasted that you are ready to render to the State the kind of service which is invaluable be- cause it cannot be bought. because there Is no price that can be put upon it. We have the right to expect from college men not merely dismterested service but intelligent service. 43 ..-:
 The knavish and the Foolish.
 The few people who exercise self government aIWayS have to war not merely against the knavish man who deliberately does what he knows to he wrong, but against the foolish man who may mean very well, but who in actual fact turns out the ally of the other man who does not mean well and we must depend upon you men who have been given special facilities in education to guide our people alright so that they shall neither fall into the pit of folly, nor into the pit of knavery."
 A bit of sentiment was responsible for q brief stop at Lexington. where the President was greeted by several hundred people co whom he spoke brief lv. Lexington is the county seat of Davidson County which was the only county in North Carolina to give Pres ident Roosevelt q majority at the last national election owing to this fact the President WIS requested to stop for few moments. Tn order that he might be greeted by the three hundred orphan children who lra being cared for in an asylum there. The little ones made a pretty sight, waving tiny American flags as the train came to stop
