NEGRO LEADERS TELL RACE
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE

Raleigh, N. &C., Oct. 3-To allay dis
trust and to put an end to racial agi-
tation and strife, thirty eight leading
negro educators in North Carolina to-
day announced definite platform up
on Which the negroes in the state may
stand in peace with the white race
and in line with the aspirations of
their own race.
The program was given to the pub
lie through DR.. lI G. Brooks, state
superintendent Of public instruction,
with Mr.. n. L. Ncwbold, state agent
of negro rural schools, held an exc
cutivc conference with the negro lead
crs last Friday in Raleigh.
The platform as announced con
demns all advocacy of social equality
or intcr-marriage between the races
| and opposes an yappeal to force to
cure injustices complained Of.

Of the state, that advocates the inter-
mingling Of the races on terms Of So

races is doing great harm to the ne
gro, for wherever this doctrine finds
lodgment it stirs race prejudice in
the South and threatens the well-be-
ing Of both races" reads the state
ment Of program, adding further on:
Wherever injustice appears, there
is entirely too much said by self-ap-
pointed leaders, outside and inside the
state. about an appeal to force. Those
who intimate that such an appeal will
in any way be beneficial are the most
dangerous enemies to ALL"

the attempt to coerce" the senate
ratification Of the treaty without
amendment embodies the spirit Of the
mob and justified lawlessness.
The Presidents friends should tell
him plainly and bluntly and promptly
that the treaty has no chance Of rati-
fication in it's present form, said the
senator, who added "and they will
do SO when he is able to receive it,"
Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colo
rado, discussed the amendment Of
Senator Johnson, republican, Of Cali
fornia, designed to cqualizc the voting
power Of the United States and Great
Britain. He opposed this change in
the league Of nations covenant as
proposed by Senator Johnson, he said,
because the same point was covered
in the McCumber reservation, for
which he would vote.
Senators McCumber and Lenroot,
republicans, and King, democrat, of
Utah, spoke briefly, Senator McCum-
Der announcing that he would later
undertake to show how much gross
misinformation" has been spread con-
cerning the British-American npropo-
sition.
While not willing to vote for the
treaty without reservations, Senator
I Thomas said he could see no great
danger to this country through the
distribution Of votes in the leage as
sembly.
"The institutions Of the United
States harmonize so thoroughly with
those Of Canada, New Zealand and
other British lands" he declared,
that in all probability the represent

sition to each other in the assembly.
The only difference between the
American and the Canadian is that
one pays tribute to the British
crown"
In a permanent laobr council, how
ever, Senator Thomas pointed out
that Great Britain, inclusive of her
colonies, would have "a votes, against
four for the United States. With one
third Of the entire councils voting
strength, Senator Thomas argued that
Great Britain might be able to die
tate or control far-reaching policies
affecting the United States.
Efforts will be made tomorrow by
opponents Of the league covenant to
reach some compromise on reserva-
tions with the hope Of expediting con-
sideration Of the treaty. The report
persisted that discussion might close
within the next two weeks, and some
senators said they were beginning to
sec the end. Former President Taft

officers in the Boston district.
In some quarters, during the month, a good
deal of emphasis has been laid on the fact that
one immediate effect Of prohibition has been
seen in the closing Of certain hotels, including
here and there one of historic associations and
long continued public favor. Mature considera-
ton Of this aspect of the matter, however, ap-
pears to be establishing the fact that the prohi-
bition law is proving menace only to those
houses that were resorted to primarily for drink
rather than for food; also, that patrons who in
dulged in intoxicating drinks could be counted
on to support the various exactions of the fash
onable liquor selling hotel more readily than the
same sort of patron is willing to do now that
drink has been denied him. In other words, it
is becoming clear that vast amount of so-called
hotel patronage in the country was not, in the
plain sense, hotel business at all, but rather the
business of more or less palatial dispensary of
intoxicants. AS such, this sort of business is
due to disappear as definitely as ordinary saloon
drinking. On the other hand, restaurants and
hotels at of the popular beach resorts, which
have been in the past conducted on the dry plan,
are reported to have enjoyed marked increase
in business since the prohibition law went into
effect. This would argue that hotel business, in
the strict sense of the term, is likely to improve
following the elimination of liquor, rather than
to suffer decline.
One month of prohibition may not make dry
nation any more than one swallow makes a
summer, or a drunkard, but the first effects of
the dry law, in spite of all adverse conditions
definitely and Enthusiastically good They give
promise already of vast improvement throughout
the country when the new law has had time to
exert it's full effect.

There followed a life Of prodigious

George Sand was a most extraor-

the French peasant to literature with
