TRIBUTE TO THE UNIVERSITY.

Mr.. Hamilton ". Matirc pays high
tribute to the University OF Virginia in
a recent issue of the Outlook. Among
other things. he says:
The University of Virginia holds place
of its own in our educational history; it
was our first real university; its achieve
ments in the field of scholarship and its
service to public life have been manifold,
and have not yet had adequate recognition.
1t was the creation OF one Of the most
fertile and original statesmen we have yet
PRODUCED; three Presidents or eX-Presi-
dents sat on its first Board of Visitors; 1t
is associated with the most Democratic Of
American men of letters. and with a long
line of cultivated, scholarly, and distin-
guished men in public and professional
life; is the most Democratic OF American
colleges in its organization: it has a noble
setting of mountains and a campus of UNI
surpassed beauty: above all. 1t is gen
timely and typically representative OF a
generous and high-spiri,ed people, who
have never parted with their idealisn, and
among whom the traditions of courage,
courtesy. and hospitality are still sacred.
1t Is remarkable thing to us that there
should be prejudice among certain of
our own citizens against the University Of
Virginia. It has been said that the Uni
versity is the ricl mans college. But go
there and investigate fer yourself and
you will find that the ma ority of students
from Virginia are the sons of poor men,.
or Of least men N moderate clrcum-
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1900-08-21

stances. 1t would be a bad thing for this
State if the University were the rich men
institute. 1t would be a hard thing Tor
This State If the University catered only
TO the rich and made the terms 50 high
that The poor men could not patronize it.
But the State makes a yearly appropr'a-
ton to maintain the University, upon the
condition that VirgInia students be re-
ceived without the payment of tuition
fees. and in this way the poor boys have
equal advantages with the rich 1t viii
be a, sad day for Virginia when the poor
boys of the state are excluded fron its
benefits We poor are more interested
than the rich IN having the State make
an annual allowance to the University.

and there IS demand from NIL parts of

South, that the doors TO Chinese trade be

We 90 not believe that this country

the United States Government is bound

so far withdraw and leave Russia and
Japan and England and Germany and
Frnce to appropriate this vast territory
and parcel II out among themselves, ex-
cluan g the United States from trading
with the people Of the East.
The mission of the United States in the
East is to maintain the status quo. TO
prevent The dismenberment Of China, to
prevent the Philippines from being COB
bled up by some one of the European
Powers. to preserve the peace and TO keep
the channels of trade open. And we say
that this VIII be done, whether the Re

that Office he earned the same degree of
distinction rs q public prosecutor that he

THE RACE RIOT.
Rev. P. i. Cuyler, paster of the Zion
Methodist Episcopal Church. in his Sun
. day sermon to the race riots here last
week, said in part:
THE trouble that our people have Just
gone through presents disgusting and
brutal spectacle. In the troubles that we
have in the South, even, there is nothing
to equal it.
There at least. the men who are in
authority and whose duty it is to protect
the citizens OF the State do not paTtici-
pate in the riots. but rather seek to shield
from the fury of the mob the innocent
victims.
Instead of suppressing the riotins the
guardians of the peace appear to have par
ticipateI in the cruelty. The police dubbed
the colored men. and the greatest damage
done upon the persons OF our people was
>the work of their clubs.
''Of course we know that the element
that made so much trouble is not repre-
sentative Of New York. The mobs were
composed of hoodlums, roughs and toughS
OF every kind
In conclusion, he said that he did not
wish to stir his congregation up over the
matter. I'VE cannot fight" he went on,
tempt it there would only be q period Of
numbering that would accomplish nothing.
But W are citizens and there should be
some redress in court for al that we have
suffered Tho city should be responsible
for the brutality that has been practicea
upon innocent people.'
