DURHAM EDUCATION DAY.
kethodlsts Hold General Educational
Rally Day at Trinity Church.
From'the Trinity Chronicle

1t has always been a recogniz-
ed fact among all churches that
the best interests of the people
are vitality connected with their
intellectual welfare; that the spiri-
tual development of a people has
always carried with it a great in
tellectual development. In ac-
cordance with this principle it
has been the policy Of the Meth
odist church everywhere to ios-
ter the education of her people,
and the Methodists of North
Carolina are not behind in this
great uplifting movement. Prof.
E. c Brooks, of the Department
Of Education, has set on foot a
plan to hold educational rallies
in all the counties of the state
during the next few months and
as the beginning Of this plan the
FIRST Of these rallies vas held in
Durham county, the home OF the
great Methodist educational in
stitution, Trinity College. The
exercises were held Sunday morn
ing at Trinity Church in Durham,
and services at all the other
Methodist churches in town were
dismissed.

the Durham County Alumni As
ISOLATION met on Saturday even-
ing in the Knights of Pythias
hall and held an informal recep-
ton. DIR. Woodward, President
of the Association, called the
meeting to order. and. after given
a brief sketch of the history Of
the formation of the alumni as
ISOLATION. spoke Of the special
work of the Durham county as
ISOLATION namely to find employ
ment IN the city OF Durham for
worthy young men wishing to
work their way through college.
He told of the work that the As.
ISOLATION was doing on this line
aud then introduced Mr.. M. b,
Newson. Jr., Chairman Of the EN-.
ployment committee, who. made
a report of the work done. Mr.
Newsom reported that ever thir'
ty men had been aided to secure
employment through the work o.
the committee and that in practi
cally every case these men hao
proved to be good students and
worthy OF the aid given. HI
said that with the work bettel
organized this summer the com
mittee hoped to secure employ
ment for at least one hundred.
After Mr.. Newsom's repor
light refreshments were servee
and then Prof. Brooks was intro
duced. He spoke in a reminis
cent vein of what Trinity mel
had done and were doing ant
then OF the spirit Of the institu
ton and its purpose. showing
that this purpose was for the vel
fare Of the state and that it wa
the duty Of the alumni to worl
with greater energy toward plac
ing the purpose Of the college be
fore the people. In the course o
his remarks he showed that Their
had been more than FIVE thousan,
students enrolled at Trinity AM
, that more than three THOUSAND
OF these had received degrees.

spoke Of the distinctive mark of
Trinity men and the fraternal
spirit that exists between them.
He said, 81 believe in family
pride and there is that sort Of
pride in the Trinity family that
makes a Trinity man dear to any
other Trinity man." Speaking d.
rectly of the college he showed
that there is not another institu-
ton in the south that has behind
it the resorces that Trinity Col
legc has. And besides the ma
terial resource he said that it has
behind it the machinery of a
great church and that means that
it il identified with a clean and
pure people.
After a few other short speech
es, the meeting was adjourned
with several yells given by the
members Of the Senior class. who
were invited guests at the occa-
sion.
On Sunday morning all the
Methodist churches dismissed
services and the congregations
gathered at Trinity, filling the
entire church. President Kilgo
made the address, showing the
conflict belweenthe industrial spirit
and the cultural split Of educa-
ton. He spoke of the remark

conditioned streets into one of

in the country. He pointed out
the growth Of the schools Of the
city along with the material
growth, saying that the public
school system of Durham is the
best in the state and that the
browning glory of the whole sys-
TEN is Trinity College. He then
showed what is the real value Of
educational institutions and what
is the purpose Of education. He

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Lori

of health by the subcommittee OF the

charges of bribery made in connection
with his election to succeed Senator

adjourned until Tuesday to give the
members opportunity to study the evil
dence and the subcommittee report.
Evidence that there was money
passed between certain members OF
the Illinois legislature was not ignored
by the subcommittee, but it was de-
clared that if the votes of members
charged either with receiving or pay
ing money had been eliminated Mr..
Lorimer still would have had ma
jority of three votes.

to determine the truth or falsity of this
testimony, but it is asserted that evil

MENACE OF ROCKEFELLER FOUN.

The announcement of Mr.. Rockefei-
lers purpose to leave his immense
fortune in the form of a perpetual trust
fund for he benefit of humanity mas
thus far excited slight protest, and it
NAV be said that at first thought crit
icism of a colossal philanthropy such
as he has conceived seems ungracious,
if not malevolent The imagination is
easily captivated by a grandiose
scheme of human benevolence whose
scope shall know neither time nor
space, and whose usufruct shall be en-
joyed by countless generations. Yes
when one considers the question In It's
lremoter social and moral aspects, it
becomes clear that these enormous
philanthropic foundations now being
established by the richest men of the
time call for the severest scrutiny.
| Let us be specific in our criticism of
these colossal foundations of today,
which seek no blessing from the holy

of an act of congress. AS mere philan-
jthropic enterprises they tend to mo-
lnopolize charity by centralizing it in
corporate, self perpetuating, bloodless
lconcerns, managed with the financial
lskill, but also with the aggressiveness
lof a "philanthropic" insurance COM
lpany. The immediate effect of the es-
Establishment of these immense agencies

The moral and social effect of such

WEATHER FORECAST
Weather Conditions.

The large area Of high barometer,
now central over the Mississippi, COW
ers most Of the country and is causing
fair weather to continue in nearly all
portions of the United States. A
barometric depression in the south
west is causing rain in California and
the disturbance departing eastward
from the New England coast has caus-
ed. light snow in portions of the north
Atlantic states. The approach of the
high area toward the Atlantic states
is causing a fall of temperature east

ly warmer in the northwest portion of
the country The indications are for

lessor in any accepted institution. shall

fessor in any accepted institution, shall
be entitled to a retiring pension"
The rule now in force, which was
agreed upon by the trustees at their
meeting last November, provides that
any person who has had rs years of
service as a professor, or 80 years Of
service as a professor and instructor,
and who is at the time either pro-
lessor or an instructor in an accept
ed institution, shall, in the case of
disability, uniting him for the work
of a teacher as proved by medicalex-
animation, be entitled to a retiring al
lowance."
The mere fact of service for a quar-
ter of a century was enough to entitle
a professor to a pension under the ORR
ginal rule. 1t is not enough now. Of
course the pension is a gratuity, and
the giver of a gratuity can condition
it as he pleases. Nevertheless, peo-
pie who have heard themselves bid
den to a feast and have prepared them
selves to enjoy it will not all feel
philosophical when they discover that
they are not to be permitted to per-
take after all.

STATUS OF THE SUGAR FRAUDS.

Lest we forget, the "higher-up's"
responsible for the 100000 New York
sugar underweighing frauds, have not
yet been summoned to appear at the
bar of justice. Nor has congress or
dered a congressional investigation in
order that the public may learn the
identity of the really big thieves.
Let us keep the record straight as
to the sugar trust frauds. Let US,
henceforth, follow the position Of the
government in the sugar scandal step
by step.
With the exception of the restitu-
ton to the government of the $4,000
900 of stolen import duties, all that
has been accomplished has been the
Imprisonment of few underlings, who
were only the tools of the real thieves.
Right now the public should fasten
it's gaze upon the resolution intro
duced in congress by Representative
Fitzgerald of New York, which asks
that the president Inform the house,
what facts, if any, exist which make
inexpedient a thorough examination"
of the sugar trust scandal at this
time.
It will be recalled that President
Taft, in a message to congress, advised
q ,o;pct n conversational investigation.
So, therefore, the situation is now
up to President Taft. If there is any
good reason why the ulti-mill1ona1res
who would have pocketed the $4,000
600 had not their crime been discovered
if there are any good reasons why
these pirates should not be punished,
the public has right to be supplied
those reasons.
