When Lafayette came to Morristown

In recent years several attempts have
been made to cut the tree down because

The Daughters Of the American RevO-

the protection of the tree under munich

menace to public safety. and for that
reason il has been removed.

sic Ten Eyck prize speaking contest in
his junior year at Yale, and in every
way was a good student and gentleman

graduates have had weight in causing
the election to be made after he was
graduated.
Lecture on Race Question.
Pickens worked his way through Yale
by waiting on table for his board and
by giving readings at entertainments
He was often invited to address public
meetings both of whites and of negroes
on the race question. He was nearly
mobbed once in Boston by negroes be
cause his views were not in accord with
their sentiments.
He is a follower of Booker T. Wash
ingtOn and believes that the negro must
be elevated by the gospel OF work,
and 10 that end urges industrial edu-
cation rather than the higher and more
classical branches. He is now in Boston
and Will teach 1T year. probably In
the South.

 If The Nashville American correctly voices the sentiment of the people of Tennessee. then they are enthusiasts In avor of the prompt ratification of the Panama treaty. If the peop'e of State having no sports to be benefited by the construction of the canal can so intensely favor the project, by what system of reasoning-or lack of reasoning-can the inha bitants of a Gulf State oppose a measure which means much to them in the matter of building up their ma teriaI interests?

If any Democratic Senator thinks there is effec- tive campaign material for Democrats in the Panama question 1t Is anything but creditable to his judgment.
