Rhodes scholarship at Oxford Univer-
sity, one of, if not the leading educa-
Iional institution Of the world. Con-
corning the appointment of Locke the
Wash 'ngton Post says in a Philadel-
,hia special:
The Rhodes scholarship of the State
If Pennsylvania this year has been
awarded to a colored man. He Is
Alain LIE Roy Locke, 712 South 18th
street, this city, a senior at Harvard
University.
In the provisions of the will Of the
late Cecil Rhodes, it is stated that
'olor or religion shall make no differ
ence in the selection of the candidate,
md Locke was chosen on his merits.
There were five who passd the ex-
limitations which were herd at La
fayette College on the 18th and 18th
Of January, and of these Locke was
deemed the best fitted to receive the
award.
TIL scholarship provides for a three
years cours at Oxford University,
$1,000 a year being its value.
Locke will be the first colored man
to receive one of the American Rhodes
scholarships
The new Rhodes scholar is q
years old. He was born in this city
md was educated here. He entered
Harvard University in the fall Of 1904,
from Harvard he will be graduated
next June, having completed the
egular four years course in three
years.
The qualifying examinations were
taken by some fifty candidates. TIC
We eligible for the examinations the
candidates are, required to have
cached, before going into residence
1t last the end of their sophomore
year at a recognized degree-grantine
University or college.
The examinations are a severe test
the candidates knowledge of arith
metic, algebra, geometry, Greek, ant
ATTN being learned. Five of thu
a~ndidates passed the last examination
From these five it was for the sc
SETON committee to decide wht
should receive the scholarship. The
~andidates appeared before the com
nittee and their personal qualifica
tons were inquired into. Characte,
and manliness are as important quail
i tations as scholarship, and a prefer
ence is give .nto those who are popu
lar with their fellow-students ant
have taken an active part in athleti,
sports.

CANDIDACY.

1t seems next to the impossible to
harmonic Gov. Vardaman with the
federal ownership of all the railroads,
but such is the fight he is making in
his effort to beat John Sharp Will
iems for the senatorial nomination in
Mississippi. His highly advertised an
tipathy for the Negro which has stood
him so well in all his political battles
thus far would naturally lead n to
expect that no other man in public life
from the South-not even excepting
the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman of
South Carolina-would so violently
oppose the railroad idea ad-
vanced by Mr.. Bryan upon his re-
turn from his trip around the world.
But Vardaman favors il.
Evidently, with the governor of
Mississippi the Office is the main thing
and he is willing to go almost any
length in his campaign pledges to Sc
cure votes. This has been clearly
demonstrated by his plea that the
taxes of the state be prorated for ed
ucational purposes between the races
in accordance to the amount paid by
each into the state Treasury and his
advocacy of the repeal of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the United States Constitution. But
why should he favor the governor
mental ownership of railroads? We
Cannot conceive that such a program
would meet the approval of the white
voters of his state. For under thu
general government the "jim crow
car would be compelled to go an(
color would be no bar to holding pc
sitions such as engineers and conduct
ors.
1t would appear that the long-haire,
individual who occupies the position
of Chief Executive of the State Il
Mississippi is playing for the supper
of that element in the Democrat
party which is enamored with WilliaI
Jennings Bryan, on this question jus
as he uses the repeal of the wa
amendments-an impossible thing
e to capture the class Familiarity know
e as hill billies." 1t seems stranl
e though that he should use a plank
s. his platform which is liable to a
as a boomerang that would put a qu
a. etus on his race problem enunci
g tions-a plank that could be used

THE BROWNSVILLE INVESTI-
CATION.

Interest was revived In the Senate
Committees investigation Of the
shooting up of Brownsville, by a re-
port sent out from Galveston, Tex,
that one of the discharged men had
confessed that he participated in the
raid and implicated several other
members of Company B, to which he.
claimed to have belonged. An inves-
tigation of the report showed that 1t
was simply a newspaper fake worked
up by a reporter on Il of the Calves
ton papers. The man charged with
making the confession was not m of
the discharged soldiers, nor had he
ever been in the military service of
the United States.
The investigation at Washington
and the court-martial Of Maj. Penrose
which is being held at San Antonio,
Texas, have not brought any reliable
evidence so far that would justify the
extraordinary punishment inflicted
upon soldiers by President Roosevelt.
But, on the contrary, most of the tes-
timony has been very favorable to the
discharged men, while the citizens Of
Brownsville have been put in the light
of hating the Negro soldiers to such
an extent that they were ready to
adopt any method to be rid of their
presence.
The soldiers, it has been shown,
were considered as a natural prey for
the police. The white i%nfantrymen
who preceded the discharged black
battalion, had frequent clashes with
the civil officers over gambling games.
If a soldier won from one of these
"~greaser" policemen, he seldom en-
joyed the fruits of his luck, for more
often than otherwise he was beaten
wei the head with the butt of a re
volver and then arrested. One sol
der was murdered, and it is said thai
though the slayer never left the town
he was not even arrested.
What the outcome of the Senat,
Committee of Investigation will b,
cannot be safely predicted at thi
time, for the greater part of the evi
dence taken so far is similar to tina
upon which Roosevelt based his ia
nous order of discharge without hor
or-eG pGrte. But one thing is Gel
tain, Brownsville's reputation as
city composed of high-class citizens
considerably smirched.

The Penrose court-martk LAS its
humorous side. Col. Mcdonald who
lis so brave that he would not hesitate
to charge hell with one bucket OF
water" was so wrought up over being
called a contemplate coward" by
Penrose that he went p~ost-haste from
Austin, Tex, to San Antonio and then,
having reached San Antonio, turned
right around and went back to Austin,
Mcdonald is a regular old Bob Acres.

The attorneys for DR.. Feist have
asked for a new trial. One Of their
allegations in the writ they filed last
Saturday is that the jurors were sup
piled with four quarts of whisky daily
during the trial, The jurymen, If the
allegations be true, certainly love
booze. They must be ardent prohibit
tionists who are trying to destroy all
