For F ederaI Control.

I'VE have accomplished much in the
past few years in the line of reform.
We have established control over rail
roads and other corporations within
the state. I believe that there should
be established national control over
the corporations which the state laws
cannot reach. Let the federal gov
eminent exercise control over the
corporations doing interstate bust,
ness.

Takes Issue with
Attorney Gibbs
Young Graduate Says Assertions
Are Erroneous and Absurd.
Mr.. Editor:

uI lLulUOI
Be so kind as to permit me to
right a wrong and eradicate a
very false in. preston through
the columns of your esteemed
paper.
Sunday afternoon, in the midst
of a discussion in the Culture
Club, where Topping of arms and
loud voices constituted the pro
gram, Mr.. Gibbs, one of the
main orators took it upon himself
to speak of the treatment of the
'o7, graduates, aud Miss Josie
SrOwden in particular. His
ephemerat rem arEs have induced
a credulous public to believe that
Prof. E. H. Hartman of the
High School faculty was instru-
mental in diverting the highest
honors from its course.
Now, as a matter of fact, Mr..
Gibbs, though he may have
meant we'll, is wholly ignorant Of
what he stated aid Ills remarks
were ridiculous in the extreme to
those in a position to know.
Would remind him, that
where ignorance is bliss, us
folly to be wise.
Prof. e. H Harrim, a gentle.
man and d scholar too. has by
his natural kindness and sympa-
thy, aided every one of the Ne
groes committed to his care. He
pushed them forward in their
studies; he planned and sch4med
for their advancement. He did
the fair square thing by us all.
Then to think now, that one,
would so unjustly condemn a
man like this Que. We all advise
Mr.. Gibbs to stop, pause and con-
slider, the next time before he in
dul geS in one of his customary
harangues, to know whereof he
speaks. The graduates of the
'O7 class are very grateful to all,
VINO have espoe>ed their cause in
the wrongs uplifted on them, but
please do not run down those
mem mbers of the S H. S. faculty
who were our best friends, be-
cause a friend in need was a
friend indeed. H. A. Donaldson.
