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 ed. Judge-Clark got no relief, how ever, while Dr. Joyner did. Gover nor Kltchin took up the gauntlet and .as tbe-nominal. head of the a & . ; ' school system, while expressing ap- preciation of Mr Coon's criticism as vnanotte. me city, itseir, may find democratic party; He " helped to w f 'inn'a .j a way to help. ; It owns two or three make it Impossible for the demo-' that of a sincere and faithful pro- acres of ,dle ,and tQ tne outh of 9TtLtlc mkr t0 nave tne of fesslonal pan, took Issue with him ( Elmwood cemetery, ' which it might appointing the standing commit by vigorously defending the work aonBte as a site for the dpot.

Even that can only be by the . icisms had called forth a good deal of handclapping, the governor's words met with general approval, and it j seemed as if every one in the big audience was enthusiastically vole ing his agreement. 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 icle. 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 was a party of the revo- . 1 . ; lutlori iri his capacity as page of the exercise of diplomacy, which Mr. I Clark fortunately possesses, in good measure. He has no power to corn- mand, no power to select the men to shape legislation In the committees, j no power to shape the program of legislaton.

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.
