ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY.
The announcement in last weeks is.
sue of The Globe that Roger Williams
University, through its board of trus.
tees, had come into possession of one
OF the most beautiful sites in the vi.
entity OF Nashville, and that in all
probability the school will be re-
opened this year, is welcome news to
the colored people Of this city, ire
spectiVe of religious belief. The peo-
pie OF this city are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work of this institu-
ton under the old regime and are full
ly cognizant of the many benefits
which our people derived from the
school before that remarkable series
OF mysterious fires destroyed the prin.
cipal buildings. They have longed to
see the school re-established, and be it
said to the credit of the Negro Bap.
lists of the state, the University is
about to be re-opened mainly through
their own individual efforts.
We are especially pleased to note
that the new Roger Williams is to
have an exclusively Negro faculty,
with such a sterling man as Prof.
Johnson as president. This is new
venture for Nashville, but we believe
that 1t will be one for the best inter-
est of the school and the race. 1t will
increase the loyalty of the Negroes to
the school and will be source of in
spiration to every ambitious student
that attends. Meharry, with it's fac
ulty composed in the main of colored
men,-successful practitioners in the
city; the Theological Departments of
Walden and Fisk with the Rev. DR..
Hammonds and Henderson as Deans,
are the pride not only of the students
who attend but of the whole race. And
so it will be with the New Roger Will
llams under the new dispensation.
The Globe wishes Prof. Johnson and
the determined men who made the re-
opening of the school possible all the
success that their noble fight de-
mands.

THE SOUTH AND IMMIGRATION.

Attorney General Boneparte who has
been the object Of jibes from the
Northern press for many moons on ac-
count of the Governments prosecution
of the trusts will doubtless receive
equal attention from the Southern
press for some time to come on &C
count of his opinion rendered in the
case of a Cuban immigrant whose
transportation was paid to this coun-
try by the State of Louisiana. Mr..
Bonaparte holds that it is as much
a violation of the immigration laws
for state to pay the fare of an i'm
migrant as it is for an individual His
opinion, we think, is imminently cor
rect and we believe the courts will so
hold when the case is brought before
them for adjudication.
The South is sadly in need Of i'm
migrants, but is not willing to adopt
the right means to encourage the class
of foreigners it desires as settlers. In
the first place it permits hoodlum
gangs to trample under foot the laws
Of its own making, thus not insuring
to the weaker elements of the body
polite that even-handed justice which
those from a foreign cline are led to
believe exists in this land of the free.
That all of this unpublished lawless-
ness is not visited upon the Negro
was made plainly evident by the treat
ment of band of Italians near Hat
tiesburg, Miss, few weeks ago.
Again, the South permits the very
worst demagogues in it's whole con-
fines to travel broadcast and adver-
tise that it has what they call one of
the greatest problems the world has
ever seen. We say the South permits
it, for there is scarcely man from
this section who is successful in poll
tics that does not feel called upon
when away from home to talk longer
upon the race problem, no matter
what the occasion, than upon anything
else. Usually, too, the one who can
bleat the loudest is the one who has
the best chance of being elected when
he returns to his baliwick.
Immigrants do not want to locate
in a section which advertises a prob
lem" 1t is the very thing they are
trying to escape when they come to
this country. Nor do they want to
locate in section in which lawless-
ness and low wages prevail, for the
latter they have endured at home, and
few men care to locate where they will
not be protected. The desirable
class" those from Northern Europe, it
might be added, resent the adoption
or enforcement of prohibition laws as
a curtailment of personal liberty,
These various hindrances are made
known to the prospective citizen
before he leaves his home or very
soon after he arrives in this country
and, as a consequence, he decides to
try his fortune in the East or West.
There is no denying that the South

Let swindlers and offenders in the

business be made to feel the sufficient

approve this. But in attempting to

not be included, and the just powers

To The Nashville Globe:
Mr.. Alan Leroy Locke, of Phila-
delphia, Penn, the brilliant and schol-
arly young student who was one of the
highest per cent winners of a Cecil
Rhodes scholarship in the competitive
examination for the selection of Amer
ica's quota, is now about to enter upon
his four-year course at Oxford Univer-
sity, one of England's famous seats of
learning Mr.. Locke is a Harvard
man. He has the record of having
completed four-year course at Har-
ward in three years This is an un-
usual thing to do, and the student who
does it must not only be uncommonly
studious, but must possess a mind of
high order of mentality; working
mind of depth, breadth and retentive-
ness; an investigative, analytical and
comprehensive mind; a mind highly
imaginative and conceptive. Young
Mr.. Locke's mind possesses in a large
measure these essential qualities as
demonstrated by the record of his en-.
tire school career After distancing
every applicant in the competitive ex-
animation, he was awarded one of the
twenty coveted scholarships to which
the United States is entitled according
to the expressed intention and plan
of Cecil Rhodes.
Protests from different portions of
this country, especially from the
South, have been made in England to
the authorities having supervision
over the duly accredited Rhodes schol-
ars not to admit young Locke into the
great English university on the same
footing or equality with white Ameri-
can students But Secretary Charles
w. Boyd, of the Rhodes Fund, who has
been the recipient Of the protests, an.
swering them with the authority of
Lord Gray and all of the trustees,
says:

ed by the selection of the committee
of the Pennsylvania Rhodes trustees,
and their agents in England have the
greatest respect for American opinion,
and never interfere on principle with
the decision of the American selection
boards. They regard this as an
American, question in which it would
be a presumption for them to say a
wcrd."
The reply of Mr.. Boyd, voicing the
sentiment of those managing the car
rying out of Rhodes wishes with ref
erence to students accredited to Ok
ford under his will, was concise, point,
ed and final 1t shows the opinion
held by the authorities with regard to
the maudlin protests envenomed with
prejudice. But 1t is more likely that ly-
ing at the bottom Of the protests of
the white American students and their
friends is a secret fear of the former
being outstripped at Oxford by young
Locke. BY your permission, it would
be we'll to say that Locke has made
good, and signally so, in one of the
oldest and best of American univer.
stiles, and, therefore, it stands to rea-
son that he will not now either falter
or fail with the goal of his ambition in
sight. Inferentially speaking, that is,

The Civil Service Commission, it
seems, has at last put some energy
into the effort to correct some of the
abuses charged against the local po-
lice forces, One of the "hullabaloos'
was raided a few nights ago on 10
Johnston avenue and large number
of the habitues arrested. The place
was under the management of a man
who was candidate for alderman
from the ward in which his saloon and
dance hall" are located, an it may
have been a political move to accom-
plish his defeat. We hope, however, that
it is the beginning of a movement to
rid the city of these holes which do so
much to lower the morals of the city.

"Disposing of Jesus" was the
theme at the Christian church last
night, and whatever may have beea
the opinion of those present, sure it
is they could not fail to understand
the evangelist. His defense of the

pose and power in the world. were so
forcibly put that the simplest mind
could not fail to know the meaning.
The speaker made no defense of the
wrong OF PLATE, whom he said had
been over-abused for his action,
."but," said he, "what about those
who have had the advantages and ex-
periences OF the centuries since the
resurrection OF Christ, and since his

openly rejected him, but who have

A Million Years From Now.

They are digging down into old
New Jersey, but they did know 1t.
They had never even heard the name,
and neither a fossil mosquito nor the
skeleton Of a prehistoric trust had so
far been unearthed.
They were digging. digging, dig
.glng. what for? Chiefly, no doubt,
for the sake OF digging, but in sort
of secondary way they were looking
for relics. They hoped to find some
thing that would prove the somewhat
doubtful existence of animals In that
region before the Great Catastrophe.
If they could only prove the exist
ence OF man at that remote period,
the professors claim 10 Immortality

enthusiasm was far ahead of his
scientific attainments, but he hal
managed to lmpart something of his
own spirit to every man OF the expe-
dition, so that, In spite of any and
all dlscouragements. they cheerfully
kept on digging.
Then the learned professor In

and jotted down the framework OF
a somewhat labored report:

An English View Of Our Philippine

"Flasco."
TO put II bluntly, the opinion Of
English observers Is that American
rule In the Philippines has resulted
so far in something little short OF
chaos. The only real boon for which
the Fillplnos have to thank the
Americans Is the suppression OF the
monastlo orders aud the sale and
subdivision OF their lands; and even
this boon IS thought to have beea
heavily counterbalanced already by
the inordinate growth of taxation.
Without exception. English critics
agree with Judge Blount that tho
moral conquest OF the archipelago
has yet to begin. and the that Fill
pinos hate the Americans far more
intensely than they ever hated the
Spanlards. They condemn the edu-
cational policy as hasty, extravaganza

The city council adopted a resolution
by a vote of 6 to extending their

that this was no extension, as the law

fails or refuses to bring suit on the
