The Raleigh
the day.
High School saved
A great audience greeted Champ
Clark last night and heard a, great
speech. His theme was inspiring and
cheering. He told of the great
things the country has accomplished
and pictured the great work it is to
do in the future. . He is an opti
mist, firm in the faith that we have
no problems, present or prospective,
that we cannot master. The country
is constantly growing and advancing
along all lines.
Raleigh is proud of her high
school boys. They have shown that
they know how to win success. They
have the proper metal, and as they
have triumphed in the football field
we expect .to see them win success
In their work when they have left
school and gone out to engage in
more serious contests. They are the
undisputed champions of the state in
high school football. They have not
lost even one game. They have
right to be proud of the record they
have made and all Raleigh is proud
of them.
Prof. C. L. Coon, president of the
North Carolina Teachers' Assembly,
is not enamored of the present pub
lic school system in North Carolina,
In his address last night he called it
patchwork and scored severely the
present tendency of adding more
patches to it. One does not have to
agree with him to recognize the
force of his argument; We all re
cognize the shortcomings of our pub
lic school system and we all are
striving as best we may to improve
It. But Mr. Coon's address deserves
thoughtful consideration. Criticisms
do good. Ifwe are pursuing a
wrong policy they point out the fact;
'! If we are eoine alone in th rirht di
rection they will only serve to
strengthen or confidence in that fact
and increase our zeal.
Judge Clark sat on the platform
the other night and heard the Initia
tive, referendum and recall riddled.
Last night it was Dr. Joyner who
came In for a grilling, not directly,
but in the same way as Judge Clark,
he having his school system attack

ever, while Dr. Joyner did. Gover

seemed as if every one in the big
audience was enthusiastically vole

A united protest from women'
clubs all over the country is very apt
to be launched this winter against
what is popularly spoken of as the
"Reno Divorce Factory." Recent
news despatches from the Nevada
city, telling of an entertainment
given by the women divorce seekers
for the young men of Reno, hus
stirred a storm of indignation all
over the country, and already a num
bw of clubs in various cities have
adopted resolutions against what
they referred to as a "blot."
The Chicago Women's Club
which is one of the largest organiza
Hons of its k'rd in the country, al
ready has framed a letter of protest
and sent it to the Nevada governor
and legislature.
These protests, however, are not
likely to accomplish much.Na tleast
until there is a change of administra
tion in Nevada. The present law Is
proving a gold mine for many of the
cities of the state, and all sugges
tions for a change are met with a
volley of protests from merchants,
lawyers, railroads, and others. Pro
tests from these sources carry more
weight with the Nevada politicians
than those coming from far off wo
men's clubs.
THE .NORFOLK SOITHKHX.
We believe it is practically assur
ed that Norfolk Southern trains will
be running into Charlotte within two
years. Ex-Governor Aycock. for the
road, has promised that if Charlotte
will do her part. That Charlotte
will measure up to this opportunity
no one doubts. She will do the right
thing by the road. A committee has
already been appointed to
right of way and depot site.
Of course the usual difficulties
will be encountered. There will be
some landholders who will think
more of the Immediate dollar they
may make than of possible develop
ment or the future growth of the
city. Discussing the matter The
Charlotte Chronicle says:
"Reviewing the situation in regard
to the coming of the Norfolk South
ern to Charlotte, the statement of ex
Governor Aycock is worth repeating.
The Norfolk Southern," he said,
wants to come to Charlotte. It Is
absolutely settled that the new line
will extend to Concord, and we wish
to make Charlotte the terminus.
This railway has ample capital to
carry out every detail of the propos
ed work. We do not attempt to sell
stock to anyone. All that we ask is
means of entering your city, and
adequate depot facilities when we
ave arrived. We will not ask for a
right of way out of the city, for we
think that we will be able to get out
without any assistance, in case that
you find us undesirable citizens. We
have encountered practically no dif
ficulty securing In other cities the
same things which we are asking of
you here. Concord, Mount Pleasant
and Albemarle welcomed our com
ing with eagerness, ad the rights-of-way
and depot sites were given
without hesitation. Give us the two
things which are necessary, and the
Norfolk Southern will be puffing into
Charlotte within two years, or we
will return that which you have
given us.'
"There could be no plainer words
than these. If, Charlotte will open
the gate, give this new railroad a
right-of-way into the city and a site
upon which to build a depot, the
Norfolk Southern will be doing busi
ness here within two years. Does
Charlotte want this new railroad? !
The question is idle. It has been
talking railroad for twenty-five or
thirty years past and now comes one
asking only to be let into the town. !
The work of securing a depot site
and the rights of way is In the hands
of a committee which should receive
the aid and encouragement of every
enterprising man In Charlotte. It
should bo no very difficult matter to
give tho company a guarantee for
what it wants, but it will be a work
of some difficulty in getting the de
tails together in a completed whole.
Some land-owners will givo the
right of way free. .Others will want
some1 compensation. This latter class
should remember In setting their fig-
ures, that the money is not to come
:tNrttfk SotttWB?oi
but will be raised! and paid over by
Press Comment.
Jealous of Raleigh.
Norfolk needs, among a
good
many other things, a municipal audi
torium, and The Virginian-Pilot are denied to the speaker resposes
looks with jealous eyes upon Raleigh, ' in the able and urbane chairman of
in our own beloved state, and its the committee on ways and means,
great auditorium. The Norfolk pa-j Mr. Underwood, who not only has
per would have something of the direction of tariff legislation, but also
same kind in its town. Sixteen con-J of committee organization. Mr. Un
ventiona have already been booked der wood Is not so acceptable to Mr.
for Raleigh next year, and Raleigh Bryan as is Speaker Clark, but Mr!
will take care of them In true North Bryan has a considerable part in
Carolina style. "Certainly what the giving him the power that has been
comparitively small city of Raleigh
has done in this respect." says The
Virginan-Pilot, "Norfolk is able to
do and should do. The simple fact
of the matter Is that it cannot af
ford not so to do."' It has been
affording not so to do all these years
without even having been ashamed of
Itself before. Our contemporary
would not select a better place to
follow than Raleigh in this matter;
but we would have It understand
once and for all that Raleigh is pot
a "comparatively small city," cer
tainly not. as compared with Norfolk;
indeed, there is nothing in North
Carolina that is comparatively small;
everything in this state Is superlative
great.-Charlotte Observer.
The Indian in Politics.
It seems that the Red Man has
now become a factor in politics. The
Indians are to meet in Washington
next month and organize themselves
into a society which it will be easy
for. the politicians to get at. The
Washington Herald says this organi
zation will be "for the protection of
their rights" and the ballot will be I
used, as in a number of states the
Indians hold the balance of power.
The Herald cites, for instance, that
in the new state of Arizona, at the
last election, there was a republican
majority of 708. The Indian vote
in that state Is 8,000. In Idaho,
where there Is a small republican
majority, the Indian vote is 3,860.
In Minnesota the Indian vote is
9,165. In Montana, there is a re
publican majority of about 4,400, the
Indian vote is 6,000. In the state
of New Mexico, where there Is a re
publican majority of 388, the Indian
vote is 7,000. In North Dakota, the
Indian vote is 3,200. In Oklahoma,
where the last democratic majority
was about 18,000. the Indian vote is
about 32,000. It is rather surpris
Ing to be told that every-political
platform adopted in any of those
states where there is an Indian vote
must contain a promise of Indian
requirements, and the protection of
the rights of Indian- citizens, or else
the party refusing to make such
promise will likely go down to defeat.
Politically, the Indian Beems to have
stronger positon in this country
than the negro. Charlotte Chron

Bryan's Criticism of Hark.
Mr. Bryan expresses his disap
pointment in Speaker Clark and his
regret that the people have no leader
in the democratic house, where there
Is a progressive majority. The edi
tor' of the Commoner ' holds that
Speaker Clark has made himself a
negative quantity for fear of being
accused of imitating Speaker Cannon,
and also with the mistaken idea that
it is his special mission to preserve
harmony among the democrats of the
house.
Mr. Bryan in this criticism of the
speaker is unfair, unjust, and illogi
cal. The democratic party is not an
opportunist now, as it was in the
three campaigns led by Mr. Bryan.
It is clothed with responsibility In
the house, and it cannot successfully
imitate the weather vane. Of course,
twenty-one years ago the democratic
minority complained against Czar
Reed, the outrage of special rules,
and the illegal counting of a
quorum; and two years later ' the
democratic majority, clothed with
power, adopted all the implements Of
authority; just as had the republi
cans. The differences in policy was
the difference between irresponsibil
ity and responsiblity, and the demo
cratic house was justified in Its
change of position because it was im
perative. : '' " ; ,. .-
The situation Is not exactly sim
ilar now. The democrats in the
house two years ago united with' .the
insurgents to work a revolution.
They stripped the speaker of that es
sential element of leadership found
in the control of the committee on
rules. Mr. Bryan was one of the
most enthusiastic promoters of that
lovnluHn on4 Mi ' f"lat1r- mr u a m
leader in the house. This was not
simply the opportunist declaration of
a' minority; It was the accomplish
ment of a' new majority.
There is only one law governing
a revolution; that is, when it suc
ceeds, it Is a fact, especially for the
leaders who brought it to success
and benefitted by it. ;
Speaker Clark In that success de
liberately cut himself off from ever
imitating the leadership of not only
Speaker Cannon, but of Bpeakera
Randall. Carlisle and Crisp, and all
his predecessors " in the speaker's i
chair. j

started when it was -announced that
the manufacturers of clay products

In addition to starting a campaign
to reduce the annual fire loss from
15400,000,000 a year to a minim to
the clay workers declared that they
hoped to teach lessons in sanitation
and furthermore show to their neigh
bors that their trade is not so prosaic
as at first glance it might ap
pear. Thousands of things of beauty and
commodity, not commonly associated
with clay but are nevertheless pro
ducts of it, are to be exhibited at tho
exposition The exhibts are to bo
made as attractive to women as to
men. Fine works in cedamic art
will 'be displayed and an opporuoity
will' be given to see how pottery is
made.
Unique methods of house-building
homes proof against the Incen
diaryare to be demonstrated. One
of the most unusual features of the
expftsitpn is to be a display of furni
ture made entirely from clay.
Clay manufacturers, architects and
builders from every part of the Unit
ed States and from some foreign
countries are expected to attend the
exposition. No special Interest or
faction is back of the project; its
scope is to extend to every brannh of ;
the clay-Industry, which is the
world's third largest mineral in
dustry, being exceeded only bv coal
