The Students Ideal of n Man for the
President OF Virginia Theological
Seminary and College.
The following article appeared in
the Christian Organizer but II did
not appear in full.
Looking over the past record OF
our school we see that it has risen
under an able leadership from
an Insignificant school to a col
lege of recognition and owing to the
racial conditions in the Southland.
the Virginia Theological Seminary
and College must pilot the way. and
keep the door of higher education
open to the Negro youth.
Whereas, IL has pleased Almighty
God TO take from us our beloved
President, a man of great intellect
ual attainment; an honored son of
Oberlin. whose profound scholarship
and invincible oratory were n stim-
ulus TO the race. AS n President
and teacher ne proved himself able
to meet all emergency. AS a Pres
ldent he was able TO settle all diff
terences satisfactory 20 all. AS
teacher he stood second to none.
Having lost such a man. We con
ciude that to replace him by a man
less qualified would be a reflection
upon our dead chieftain, and a mark
OF degeneracy OF the work in gener-
al. We, the students. desiring IN
perpetuate the principles OF the
school do hereby make known to-
the public our conception OF the
man for the position. We believe
that the man must be thoroughly
qualified.
1. We deem it absolutely neces-
sary that the president should be OF
unQuestionable moral standing. as
pure atmosphere is Indispensable to
moral growth and as the immortal
Caesar declared that he did not only
want wife who was not guilty OF
wrong, but one who was beyond
suspicion. Just so we, the students
OF the Virginia theological Seminary
and College want man who Is be-
yond suspicion.
.. We believe that the head OF
the school should be a profound
scholar comparing favorably with the
leading educators OF to-day. Since
the school demanded such a man in
It's incipiency. we feel that at this
stage. for the future development OF
the work man no less qualified is
demanded
Since the curriculum OF this school
has made substantial advancement
IN the last few years. and there are
favorable conditions for future ad-
vancement, it is absolutely necessary
that the president should be beyond
the curriculum. We believe that
the choice OF a president should be
made by unbiased minds and that
the affiliations OF friendship and per
sonal interest should be entirely
eliminated because where these are
present the eyes are blinded TO the
best. interest OF the Institution.
The time is fast approaching when
the vacant chair must be filed and
as II Is IN the power OF the Trustee
Board TO elect president, we none
that II will be in their Judgment to
elect n man not wanting in any of
these qualities. We stand ready to
support a man having the above
named qualifications.
Yours for the perpetuation OF the
work,
THE STUDENT BODY.
Done by the unanimous vote OF
the student body.

Ralph w. Tyler Made Auditor For
Navy Department

Ralph w. Tyler, the Columbus.
Ohio Negro, whom the President
for a time had In mind to appoint to
some Fderal Office In Ohio. yester-
day was appointed auditor for the
Navy Department at a salary of 81,
600 year.
Tyler was recommended for an
Ohio office by Booker T. Washington
the well-known Negro educator, and
the President originally intended to
make him surveyor OF the port of
Cincinnati. Serious objection was
raised to this by the people of Gin
einnau and the politicians, and the
President reconsidered his contem-
plated action.
1t Is matter OF history that when
1t was announced that the President
had Tyler In mind for the Cincin-
natl office, to succeed Surveyor
Smith, prominent Republicans IN
that city notified Congressman Long
worth, the Presidents son-in-law.
that the appointment would be a
mistake and would be received gem
orally with disfavor. IL was report
ed at the time that such an ap-
pointment might prove embarrass-
ing to the political interests of the.
party.

feeling that the men were guilty was
strengthened by not finding any
marks OF bullets in the barracks
walls on the sides next to the town.
The witness detailed his meeting
with a citizens committee on the
morning of August ii, when a de-
mand was made for the surrender OF
the perpetrators of the attack to civ
il authorities. He told the commit
tee that as soon as the guilty men
could be discovered ne would surren-
der them, and that in the meantime

This applied to officers as well as
enlisted men, as Mayor Combe said
that the sig..I of n uniform might in

Mai. Penrose said ne replied that
he would allow none OF his men 10

martial found that the men of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry were guilty.
Notwithstanding this finding Mai.
Penrose asserted his confidence now
in the innocence of the men. although
at first he thought them guilty. In
reply to a question by Senator For
aker he said the Negro soldiers had
not been represented by counsel at
the court. Neither Mai. Penrose nor
Lieut.. Leckie have been cross-exam-
ined.
MAI. PENROSE WAS AWAKE.
Maj. Penrose testified that he was

night OF August IS, and Immediate

shots from the road, ne thought. In

story as to the shooting, the call to

folly first threatened to commit suicide
and then became vulgarly insistent In
his demands for the return Of the pres
ents he had given her.
what good will they be to you II
you're goin' to drown yourself in Z

"Never you mind; I want them
back" he replied evasively.
well, I'll see that you have them,"
the girl reluctantly agreed.
But five days passed and the young
man still bemoaned the loss Of the for
feited trinkets. Once more he request
ed their return.

me-" sighed the girl, anxious by now

GOLDF|ELD LETTER,

Goldfeld, New, March 16, '07.
DEAR Mr.. RIVERS
This camp is very busy place,
there seems to be plenty of money
in circulation. There are compar-
atively few colored people here and
what few are here seem to be do
ing well, and especially the women
because the unions do not bother
them the way they do the white
people. 1t looks as if we are 60
ing to have some trouble here at
present with the unions.
The [. w. w. union wants every
thing their own way. We are all in
hopes that everything will be set-
tied, as this unsettled feeling is
doing the camp an injury, and a
great many people are leaving here
on account of the labor trouble. On
ly for this everything would look
very promising.
There are few colored men who
are working their own mines and
seem to be doing very well. The
climate here is good deal like
the climate of Colorado, only a
very little colder. We are right in
the mountains, SO that would make
some difference in the latitude.
think there are enough colored
people here to organize a small
church, if there was somebody
here who would take the lead and
manage things properly. Quite a
few have homes of their own they
are all frame houses. Lumber is
very high, it is now $50 per thous.
and, and planed lumber is $50, SO
you can readily see why wages
need to be high here. Rent is ex-
tremely high, and wood and coal is
a terrible price, although coal has
decreased some in price since the
weather has been less severe.
Yours very truly,
ALICE CARPER.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-03-23

would care to associate. He said
prejudice was generally evidenced
against all soldiers but was especial
ly intense against cclored troops.
He told of threats he had over
heard from citizens when it was
known the War Department would
send colored troops to Fort Brown.
Expressions such as We'll run
the niggers out" 'They wont be
here long" and others, show the
animus and in view of the result
attained and the means of its ac-
complishment, the desperate char
acter of the people; the belief is
reasonable that the colored soldi-.
ers of the 25th, Notwithstanding
their long service, heroism and de-
votion to the Flag, have been
cruelty imolated on the gibbet of
American prejudice.
Meanwhile there is one grand
and fearless American who has
said to the world, these men shall
not be sacrificed without a protest
and if they are innocent they shall
have chance to prove it.
