tended debate, related to the organiza- tion of negro labor. It was submitted by Delegate Murphy of San Francisco. and embodied in it's preamble a res- olution adopted by the International Negro league, and presented to the San Francisco labor council for in- dorsement. The Negro leagues reso- "southern states" as the secenes of wrongs inflicted upon the race.
 The resolutions committee reporting to the convention, assumed no respon- sibility for the statements in the pre- alnble of the Murphy resolution, and recommended reference to the execu- tive council of only that part of 1t re. ferring to the organization of the ne- groes.
 Q. D. German of Georgia protested against the reference to the southern states remaining in the record, and moved as an amendment to strike out the entire section
 EAST ST. LOUIS RIOTS
 "The slaughter at East St. Louis came as a result of thefts by starving negroes enticed away from their southern homes," German said. q defy any delegate to point to a sin gle instance of negro being killed for robbery in the south. resent this reference to the southern states The reatment of the negro in the south is better than it has been in the north.''
 Vice President Duncan explained that the committees recommendation explicitly disclaimed responsibility for the statements made in this part of the resolution, but German and other southern delegates insisted that this was not going far enough, and de manded that the question before the house was on the approval or disap- proval of the report from the commit tee on resolutions. A motion to lay the matter on the table was lost, and the debate was resumed.
 REPORT WAS AMENDED
 Finally the report was amended by the resolutions committee to read: Your committee cannot be respon- sible for and rejects the statements contained in the preamble of the reso- lution," and as so amended, the report was adopted.
 In his address on Russia, Vice Pres ident Duncan expressed confidence in lasting republican government. Give them an opportunity to develop their new democracy and there will be born in it national spirit that will be worth fighting for" he said.

Letter From University

November IA. 1917

A-ofShDCi ~, Aoi'
| Editor of The Starkvilie News:
| | know that you and the peo.
pie OF nay county ara vltally ln-
| terested III the University OF
Mississippi tins year and would
like to know what we are doing,
FOR this reason | am writing thls
! that At may be published III your
paper.
This is the best year that the
University has had IN some time.
1t is true that we nave q smaller
attendance than usual, but the
work that has resaIted up to this
time is the best that has been
done in years
Such thing as drinking has
not been noticed thus year. and 1t
can be said with truth that naz
ing Is to be a thing of the past at
the University. Not a single
man has had to be dcciplined by
the authorities this session.
We have been informed by the
Chancellor that fewer warning
cards about poor work have been
sent out tins year than eyer be-
fore. 1t seems that all the stu.
dents realize that this Is no time
zatIon has been perfected III Or
der that the studen,-body may
work as ii unit. AS q result Of
this organization a picture show
has been established on the
campus. Tins Is of great hene-
lit TO every student for it enables
one to walk across the campus
and see a really hrst-class show
tor about half what 1t would cost
70 see one elsewhere, for every
one at show up town wi.l
naturally stop at some store and
spend money that he has not the
opportunity of spending when he
remains on the campus. The
students save the time that it
takes to walk from Inc Univers'.
ty TO town and back which Is a
great saving. In addition TO this
the shows are of an educational
value. and are of better morals
than Is sometimes shown at pub.
lie theatres. Therefore. t n e
show is a saving OF both time and
money. and permits a student to
see u gooG show three times d
week, and be ont and ready to
start on his next days work by
eight o'clock that evening.
In addition to this both the An
nuai and the Misslsslpplan are
published co Operatlveiy. at a
great saving 10 the student. body.
But this is not all that we have
done. The Y.M.C. 4. has heed.
cd the call Of the Nation and the
University students and Faculty
have contributed about $500. 00i
10 the war work Of this organlza-
tIOn. All are alive TO the sItua.
ton at "OIa MISS and are al
are working IN unity. For this
reason we believe that his year
at the University IS to be the
greatest in it's history.
No suggestion has come from
any of the University authorities
for writing this letter. We stu.
dents want the people to know
that we are taking advantage OF
the great opportunities afforded
by this State institution.
