APPOINTMENT
UNSATISFACTORY
From the Press Bureau)

this Bureau TO Howard university, but
feeling so keenly the grievous wrong
done the race and the nation by the
appointment OF Booker T. Washing.
ton, ct al, We did not discuss the mat
ter at length. But since We have had
time TO reflect and weigh the situa-
tion, comprehend its sinister design,
its dangers, understand its full import,
we are compelled to speak at great
length upon this vital matter
We have come face to face with
the question: Shall Howard univer-
sty be made a second-rate industrial
school, or shall it stand as a great
National university for the "Educa.
tion of Youth in the Liberal Arts and
Sciences?"
As an aid to the solution of this
question, the appointment of Booker
7. Washington, significant as it is, is
not the most significant fact in con
nection with the appointments upon
the Board Of Trustees of the univer
sity. With DR.. Booker T. Washington
were appointed DR.. Waring, DR..
Mooreland and Mr.. Converse. In or
der that we may understand the full
purpose of DR.. Thirkield and his
Board of Trustees, it is necessary to|
consider the men recently appointed
We will dispose of DR.. Waring by say
ing that he cannot act freely with re-
spect to the education of colOred
youth out of harmony with the senti-
ment which permits him to remain in
Baltimore. He favors Hampton meth
DDS and is annually seen at the Hamp-
ton Conferences. DR.. Mooreland a
good man, well meaning and pious,
cannot do anything except the mil
llonaires who pay him permit him to
act. In other words he must do what
they tell him to do or his pay will
cease. He is an industrialist. Mr..
Converse, manager of the Baldwin Lo-
comotive Steam Works, represents
the Southern Education Aid Associa-
tion, which controls Hampton and
Tuskegee. The Southern Education
Aid Association, as is very generally
known, controls Booker r. Washing
ton, dictates not only his educational
policy, but his speeches and apologies.
From this you may draw your conclu.
sions, get your own answer.
On the other hand, there are those
who believe that Howard university
ought to be maintained as conceived
and created by her founders. There
yet remain those who believe that
Education Is the leading out Of the
mental, moral and spiritual elements
Of man. These are not ready to sur
render tor to the will of men whose
aim has been TO debase and degrade
the race which profits most at How
ard university. They, therefore, enter
objection to the industrialization OF
the Board of Trustees OF Howard uni.
versity and serve notice on DR.. VIII.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1907-06-14


his policy, stated that Howard univer
sity would be run from the admins
tration building, that the battle is on
We believe that Howard university
should endure, as presented by Its
founders, and this. too, regardless Of
the fact that DR.. 'rhirkield insists tha,
he will run the university from thai
end" He no longer believes in Sum
ner and the life of Bishop Haven; he
thinks this is another day; that theiI
spirits would not do for this era. He

trial planD and give the youths what
they need most. H. ]. Pinkett was
the alumnus, who has kindly given us
the use of his name in this connec-
tion for definite reference.
These facts show the tendency OF
the present administration of Howard
university. Those who yet believe in
fair play must act and act now. The
last stronghold for the advancement
Of the race, the place dedicated to
freedom and opportunity in the manly
walks of life, has been attacked by
the huge dragon Of peonage, a new
slavery, industrialism. and we must
save her. Let every paper of the race
which believes that our place should
be left where the youth of our race
can get the higher education speak
out against this insult to the race and
save our Gibraltar.
But there Is another motive in ap.
pointing Booker T. Washington a
member Of the Board of Trustees OF
Howard university. 1t was thought
that thereby certain members of the
university faculty who teach the
rights and duties of men would be in.
timidated and silenced, and that they
would have to accept, because DR.
Thirkield says. if the statement Is
true, that Booker T. Washington is
one OF the six greatest constructive
spirits the world has known. This
means, at least, so far as Thirkield is
concerned, that all men who are mem
bers OF the Niagara movement and
other similar organizations, must be
silent or he will have them removed
This is the slavery which the ad
vent of Booker Washington entails
upon men who have stood for so much
and done so much for the race. Men
Of Capital Savings Bank fame and no
toriety are being pruned for the
places to be made vacant, unless all
men accept Becker Washington as the
greatest man Of his age. In the fu
ture there are to be no views that are
individual among the members OF the

Deputy Sheriff Scotty McDougall Il brought down from Williams last Saturday young man ny the ma me of Forest Ebert, who was proven to be insane. He was examined be-
 fore Probate Judge R. J. Kidd and committed to the insane asylum at Phoenix. His mania seems to be that he imagines some one is con- staptly after him to do him an injury. He is a young man and was working for his cousin. Frank Ebert, at the time his mind was wrecked. Deputy Sheriff T. E. Pulliam left Sunday for Phoenix. having the unfortunate man in charge.-Flagstaff Gem, March 14.

"Nettie, the News Girl"

It is claimed that in the point of lavishness and superb scenic dis play, Gould & Freed's production of "Nettie. the News Girl" which appears at the opera house April 4th, is entitled to much praise. There are four acts in the play, the plot of which is laid in New York City, which affords an excellent opportunity for the scenic display mentioned.

TOOK LONG TO CONVINCE,
stubborn Youngster Finally Satisfied
Mother Was in Earnest.

A Brooklyn mother has solved the
problem of the incorrigible youngster.
says the New York Globe. She had
long found it impossible to take her
four-year-old girl with her into public
places without discomfort and embar.
rassment.
Being on an elevated train recently,
she threatened to take the child out
at the next station and spank her
soundly In the waiting room. Defiance
compelled this course.
NOW, unless you behave, I'll whip
you again at the next station and at
every station until you do behave"
was the mothers warning.
The youngster, incredulous, contin-
ued In wrongdoing. the result being a
spanking operation at each of dozen
stations before the bridge was
reached. The child was convinced.
i've had no trouble with her in
public since" said the mother. 1T
