tury. but the analysis of the acts above
atoted ahowed that It hoe proceeded
upon well defined end satisfactory
principled, which may be summed up
as follow,:
'T—National old Is conditioned on
response pr contribution by the states,
such as furnishing and repairing build
ing..
••2—Bute control In management Is
recognised, the distribution being
throegh local machinery.
"3—Vlaltorlal power is retained In
the federal government In the require
ment for reports and the reservation
of the right to egam'ne disbursements.
“4—Beparntlon of the races te ac
cepted, but equal provisions mode for
both.
5—The nature of the education pro
vided le democratic, the emptiest, being
placed on agricultural and Industrial
education. '
■♦—Equality of needs recognised as
the basis for distributions. From this
principle It la a Just corollary that In
those sections were industrial and ag
ricultural education are most needed
the distribution should be In like pro
portion."

Intelligent cltlxena. They have not the

question to them Is:
'"Do you know how to manage that
mysterious mechanism so as to make

"Answer this question by your school

Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, formerly
of Nashville, now of Chicago, who Is

Judge Dickinson. In the course of hla
address, ravtvtd the history of the
Hlgma Alpha Epsilon fraternity from
Its organisation at the State Univer
sity of Alabama In 1994 and dwelt es
pecially upon the efforts of the society
to efface sectional feeling between the
North and Houth. nnd the gratifying
results accomplished In this direction.
The speaker continued:
“Today on the aurface and polUlcllly
there la more sharp sectional feeling
than existed five years ago. Thla Is,
l believe, largely the result of misun
derstanding and exaggeration. The
preeldent lias got ton out with the
Houth. or the Houth has gotten out
with tho president, or they have got
ten out with each other. The presi
dent touched a sensitive nerve In tho
Houth. The response waa prompt
In the opinion of many the outcry wna
exaggerated. lasuas were thought by
many to be evoked x which were tre
mendous and destructive. The preel
dent. In a fearless. Impulsive, honest
way, acted on abstract propositions
and from his point of view no man
could successfully answer him. The
Houth bad to deal with the same ques
tion. not abstractly, but modified by
condition# of facta that the outside
world does not readily accept In the
full sense that the people of the South
understand them. WhUe the president
would not, \ believe, sacrifice a prin
ciple for mere expediency, yet he
would not hesitate to take a large
view of conditions which he under-
< stands and subordinate, tf necessary.

Interest In the great cotton mill strike,

nouncement from the textile council
that It had called mnss meetings of the
various unions for tomorrow after,
noon when they will be asked to vote
by ballot on Hie question of ending or
continuing the struggle.
The union lenders said they called
the meetings not because the opera

slon of opinion on the eltuatlon.
Joseph O. Jackson, secretary of tho
alnsher tenders, said great restlessness
among the operatives has resulted from
the American Federation of Labor as-
aeeament affairs. “The atrtkera," he

of the federation In the mntter of send
