.DRUMMERS MISS
 HOME AND TURKEY
Tells How It Feels to Spend Thanksgiving at the
 Hotels

While tho Birmingham batter familias was busily engaged with the carving knife yesterday, some 200 out of town people were forced to withgo the pleasures of the family flesh pot and partake of their Thanksgiving dinner at the larger hotels of the city. The holiday season never fails to bring a feeling of unrest to the commercial traveller. The question of whether he will be able to eat his Thanks giving or Christmas dinner at home is rather hard one to solve until the crit ical moment, and the man who is kept away on business usually makes the best of 1t by indulging in a spread" at some big hotel
 A group of Knights of the grip were discussing the home dinner question in the lobby of a downtown hotel last snight. o. of them, old and gray in the service, was the chief speaker
 "I never knew it to fail," he said. that I didn't get some cranky cus- toner whenever I am within reach Of home at Thanksgiving time. I got in here Tuesday afternoon and figured that with an ordinary break of good luck I would be able to reach home Thursday morning in time for the Thanksgiving dinner. Mind you, didn't bank omit at all, because I have been fooled too many times before, and sure enough yesterday morning I hooked up with a local buyer who was little new on the job and was afraid l was trying to string him. The firm was too important to try to hurry the man along and the result is that I missed my train for home.
 But you can rest assured that l will put my feet under my own table at Christmas time if I have tc quit my job. I've been in the business too long already and there are very few times that I have been able to partake of the family turkey. I'm going home fer Christmas, come what may"
 The rest of the. crowd were young CT men but each one voiced the older mans feelings in deploring the fate that kept them away from the home folks on Thanksgiving day.

INTRODUCE LETTERS
 IN STOKES TRIAL

New York, November 3O.-Letters which had not previously appeared were brought to the front sensationally today in the trial of Lillian Graham and Ethel Com, raG on the charge of shooting w. E. D. Stokes, the millionaire sportsman. The most important letter injected into the evidence unexpectedly by the show girls counsel contained the alleged statement by the Graham girl that Stokes need not fear that she would ever make him a trouble.
 On cross-examinati ton Stokes clair3ed that the letter was signed before NJ Graham left New York to visit his ia l at Lexington, Ky. It was undated.
 Stokes denied that he got Miss Gff ham 10 sign it at the conclusion of he visit to Lexington. He also denied ths two other notes which were introduced were written at his request in Kentucl ana declared that all the notes in queF ton were written in New York and sci to his office.
 5toh es examination closed for the da with the prosecution reading into thh evidence more than 60 letters alleged to have been written by Miss Graham to Stokes asking him to come to see her. or gl'e her money. Miss Graham collapsed wner the reading was finished.

Labor and Race Problems

Our policy relative to negro education has to do directly with several perplex- ing problems, among the most important of which are the labor problem and the problem Of the races. Every section is engaged in the solution of a labor prob lem. and every section is coming to Have an increasing interest in the solution Of the problem of the races.
 "On account Of the enormous influx of people from other nations, the problem of labor as it relates to the entire country appears 10 be growing in complexity. Labor and capital seems 10 be destined to the waging of an intending contest; and at times the nerceness of the eobGict shakes the foundations Of government, threatens a disruption of business and industry, and presents an appalling spec- tacie of mans inhumsnity To man.
 "The souths labor problem is peculiar to the section, and grows out of the oc- cupancy Of the same territory by two diS- similar races, one Of which vas for gen- erations under Involuntary servitude 10 the other.

ISSUE NO LICENSE
 BEFORE JAN. 10, 1912
Excise Board Is Now Carefully ln- specting Present Con
 ditiOns

The excise commission has taken up the proposition of retail and wholesale Ilauor licenses for 1912 to the extent of requesting that no applications be made until January 10. The commits sioners will investigate those who are now the holders of licenses and will reissue, it is believed, practically all the licenses that are now held by tho retail men.
 Commissioner Wilkinson said yester- day that the commission understood that the applications would be made later than January 10 and in that way the matter of issuing the grants will be facilitated.
 The commissioners. it is understood, have no Inclination at this time to re- yoke any retail licenses that are now held However, 1t Is said, a careful watch will be kept over the situation during the forthcoming holidays. Tho commissioners. it is understood, hope and believe that the retail liquor mem will look zealously after their business during the days of celebration to the end that no stringent action will be- como necessary on the part of the com mission.
 The commissioners made no an-| nouncement yesterday as to their in-| vestigation into the books of local raIl- road agents. Some of the agents are| yet to appear, 1t seems, and no an-| nouncement is to be made until tie| investigation has been completed

 'ln the domestic field l suppose reduc- tions in the Woolen and cotton schedules, and possibly in the metal schedule of the tariff, will go to the top of the calen- dar. These will be founded, as far as my recommendations arc concernd on the report of the tariff board. I have heard it insinuated that Congress will not need tho suggestions of an executive board As to that l have no means of judging in advance. What l shall do Is to put the whole thing up to Congress, and leave the members to settle With their constituents if they prefer not to act In the House the democratic ma- jority has always professed themselves ready to accept any reductions they can get and 1 am going to take them at their word in good faith. Where the insur- gents will stand I am not prophet enough even to surmise
 For another thing, we ought to obtain some legislation which will enable Alaska to develop without infringing on our broad policy of conservation.

 q assume that you know that it has been widely hlnted that your tour was the opening of your campaign for re-election?"
 His Tour
 Certainly, as is the case with all ad- fninistrations, much of what I have done since I have been in office has had some political color put upon 1t by those who were inclined to be crit. ical. The truth is. however, that po- litical considerations have not weighed heavily with me. I have tried to do in. each case what seemed to me the wisest thing regardless of it's effect upon my own future Indeed, in more than one instance l have been perfectly con scious whose bad blood would be stirred by some act of mine or some refusal to act. The circumstances that the same persons who hail me, after one application of equal justice, as far seeing, conservative patriot, denounce me after the next as an unreasonirg radical, does not greatly disturb my equanimity. l set that down as all in a days work

I do not affect to deny the satisfaction I should feel if, after casting up the totals pro and con. and striking q balance, they should decide that my first term had been fruitful enough of good 10 war rant their enlisting me for another. Any man would be proud of such verdict. But I have not been willing, nor shall l be, 10 purchase 1t at the sacrifice of my freedom to do my duty as 1 see it. My happiness is not de- pendent on holding any office, and 1 shall go back to private life with no heartburnings if the people. after an unprejudiced review of my administra- tion, conclude that some one else can serve them to their greater adyan- tage."

chine after winning the race. Not waiting for him to get out of the machine, she rushed to him and throwing both arms around his neck, kissed him several times.
 Eddie Herne. the young Chicago mil ionaire, was keenly disappointed at los ing victory so nearly within his grasp. This was his last race. Since MT. Herne entered for the grand prize there has been born to him son, and he promised his wife that he would retire from the racing game after this contest and never again assume the risk of leaving his son father- less.
 David Bruce-BrOwn
 David Bruce- Brown of New York won his first victory in auto racing when he captured the grand prize trophy in 19l0 covering the 415.2 miles in 353 O5:75. He now is "A years of age and reputed to be a millionaire. His first race was in 1907 After that time he won many amteur contests, establishing worlds amateur rec ords at Daytonia, Fla, for the rone, two five and ten mile events. On breaking the worlds amateur record for the mile formerly held by William H. Vanderbilt Jr, Bruce Brown made the fast time of O:3y seconds. flat. Other victories of Bruce Brown include the Shingle hill climb in 1908, and two miles straightaway trials at Jamaica, in 1909 and third place in the great 300 mile race at the Indianapolis Speedway May 30 1911.

1t as we will the problem remains, To teach two wholly dissimilar races to live In harmony and mutual helpful- ness upon the same soil, to develop without friction q race within race. to establish civilization within civ flizaton-that is the problem of the races. There has been nothns like it In history; there is no lamp of ex- perienee by which to guide our foot steps.
 The problem is not open to immedi- ate, definite and complete solution. If 1t is ever solved, the solution will come through cooperative efforts upon the part of intelligent, honest and pa triotie representatives of both races and all sections.
 Tn other words, for the race prob- lem, as with all other problems, there Is no solution outside of education. This education must be of the right kind, and 1t must be universally applied.
 In my opinion, we have made great mistake in undertaking to provide for the negro, a racesyet in the infancy of development, the same form of educa- ton as that administered to tho cauca- sian, race advanced thousands of years in civilization. The food which is good for a babe In arms is very di1- ferent from that required by an adult engaged in physical labor
 IL IS my opinion also that IL Was d great mistake in the beginning of free dom for us to leave the negro so com- pletely to himself and to outside in- fluences in the matter of education. As a result of that mistake, the barrier be- tween the races is gradually widening, and one by one the former points of cleavage are disappearing Soon the old time bond of interest, confidence and sympathy will have passed away.
 Tn the consideration of the race prob- lem we resent outside interference, out side suggestion, even outside cooperation, claiming that we and we alone know the negro. Are we correct in this claim? Do we really know the negro? Who knows of the negros home life? Who has knowi- edge of what is taught him in his schools? Who is familiar with the preachments from his pulpit? Who can conscientious ly claim to possess al the facts neces- sary for a sane consideration of this greatest of problems?
 ''It is too late for us to retrace our steps and take complete charge of the educa- tion of the negro. We may not go into his schools and instruct his children but. without doing great violence to GUS tom or tradition. we could train the teachers who are to conduct his schools. The adoption of such policy would in the course of years work a revolution in the economic and industrial conditions of the southland.
