It possible for such a conference to be
held at his school under such favor
able conditions is a matter of gen.
eral satisfaction.
Arrangements have been made to ac-
commodate the members of the confer
ence (who are such by their acceptance
of the invitation free of charge, thus
relieving them Of any thought what
ever as to cost Of board and room ae-
commodations for the week There
will be three sessions of the conference
daily after Tuesday, Nov. 81. The con
ference will open on the above date a
10 o'clock a. m. The second session
will begin at o'clock p. m.
After each speaker assigned to par
ticular subject has spoken there will
be a general discussion of any subject
open to any member Of the conference
for one hour. A commission will be
appointed by the conference to study
the various facts brought out, to offer
some concrete plan and to present the
same to the public. Durham itself pre-
sents field Of study and inspiration
which will be furnished by no other
city of its size in the country.
The splendid cooperation of the
board of trustees of the national train
ing school in all phases of the institu
TONS efforts to provide adequate equip
ment for the training of special groups
Of students for special lines of work
has been admirably shown. And again
the financial assistance of other white
the north through the influence of
members of the board and the sound
constructive work of DR.. Shepard
made 1t possible for the school to enter
upon the present years work clear of
debt. These are encouraging signs as
to the extent white people are inter-
ested in promoting educational institu-
lions for our people under the right
kind of leadership.
Just In proportion as these groups of
white people in different sections Of
the country become informed as TO the
struggles, needs. aspirations and
achievements of the colored people will
our handicap be removed and a more
friendly relation between the white
and eolored people be increased. The
above statement is borne out from the
fact that not only the leaders of our
own racial institutions are to meet in
the coming conference, but the gov
errors of several states, heads Of col
leges for white people and state and
county superintendent Of schools have
signified their intention to be present
and have already announced subjects
upon which they are to speak.
Members of both races will await
with interest the outcome of the con-
ference. Tie report of the commission
which will be. appointed to sum up the
views of the various speakers ON the
topics assigned to them viii be a doc
ument much desired by educators, So
eial service workers and especially
boards In charge of funds for various
objects of education. The citizens of
Durham Will cooperate in every way
possible to make the stay of the visit
ors to the conference both pleasant and
profitable.

have more trouble with Mexico

The Senate will again be con

fiIlman sees things, or once saw
things. May the sane democrats,
men like Lewis, of Illinois, John
). Williams, of Mississippi and
Thomas Toggart, of Indiana, rule
their less fair brothers.
The house will be controlled by
the sane party, the G. 0. P, and
that is some consolation as we see
it. Two years hence we may have
both houses. But, it is up to Mr..
Wilson we have not much faith
in his sagacity-we are from Mo.
In Illinois, the G. O. P. has the
Governor and both Houses. Sc
we are going to have a good State
government.
New York and the East are safe;
California and other western states
put Mr.. Wilson back, because he
kept them all from being slaught-

for we can not, unless we chang
our minds. But we don't hate
California. She is the golden state;

UNCONTRITE

We do not pretend to find much
satisfaction in an election which
means four more years of anti
nationalistic, Democratic rule. A
good loser IN this election would
be fool. If the opponents OF
President Wilson we're right be-
fore Nov. Z they are right now.
If they were right then and now
are content they discredit every
thing they said in opposing
the administration.
We said that the interests of the
country would be protected by es
tabishing n nationalistic, Republi-
can government. Such govern
ment has not been established.
Therefore we do not believe thu
interests of the country are pro
tected. This election waa not It
