Has Net Ineited Race Violence.

The Clansnan, now on it's second successful tour of the south. has con- founded the prediction of those who prophesied that it would incite race violence or ill-feeling between the whites and blacks. The people have recognized it as strictly historical picture of the conditions that pre-
 vailed in South Carolina two years af- ter the Civil War. There is no rea
 son at the present time for hOtheaded- ness or bad blood over events that took place nearly forty years ago. AS Governor Robert B. Glenn Of North specting negro can take offense at this play, which is full of thrilling memories for the white born south
 erner. Some criticism has been level- ed at the author of The Clansman' for saying that. in the interests of white civilization, the negro ought to be peacefully deported to Africa. It is manifestly unfair to condemn The ClanSman for the personal opinions of it's author. opinions moreover, that have been shared by d numer of dis tingushed southerners and are held, though for different reason, by the negro Bishop M. Turner, of Georgia. Speaking of his larger patriotic pur

students find N ready sale. One girl in
Barnard, beginning by making things for
the students exchange in her junior year,
paid her entire expenses in the enior year.
