Prof. Scarborough Says There Is

Prof. Scarborough Says There Is
No serious Detection from Taft
in Ohio.
Prof. w. S. Scarborough, presi-
dent of the Wilberforce University,
Wilberforce, Ohio, while in Wash
ington, recently, en- route to New
York, declared that there would not
be any serious detection of the Ne
gro vote from Taft in Ohio, and he
did not believe there would be any
large movement against the Repub-
hcan ticket on the part of the Ne
groes elsewhere. The Brownsville
affair was not political issue with
the masses of colored folk, but Prof.
Scarborough that there was con-
viction among the Negroes that SEN
ator Foraker should be returned to
the Senate from Ohio and they were
inclined to ask some assurances on
this point.
Prof. Scarborough was the guest
here of the Rev. DR.. John Hurst,
financial secretary of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church.
"Mr. Taft's Republicanism is un-
questioned, and his attitude on the
race question has, I think, been mis-
understood" said the Negro educa-
tor. Il am sure that between TAFT
and Bryan Mr.. Taft is to be PREFER
ed a thousand times. If Mr.. Bryan
should make promises to the Negro
he could not fulfil them, for his par
ty would not permit him to DO So

VERNON MAKES GOOD IN
THE WEST.
Secures the Promotion of Two Ohio
ans - Continues the Good Work
Amid the Plaudits of His Friends.
Communicated
Register w. T. Vernon, of the
Treasury Department, has just re-
turned from a ten days visit to the
West. When seen last night he was
all smiles, while congratulations
were being showered upon him from
all sides. Many who were loath to
recognize in him the coming leader
have now practically conceded his
force and influence. Ostensibly he
went West to look over the political
situation and to place himself in
touch with the conditions that con-
front the Republican party in the
West and Middle West States. His
efforts at Cancellation have been re-
warded with success, and if he were
able his entire time would be taken
up by speech-making in all parts of
the country from now until the end
Of the campaign; but his services
have been placed in the hands of the
National Committee.
For the first time in many years
we have at the Naton's Capital a
man who is going to the front secur-
ing places and promotions for the
Western boys and seeing that they
come into their own. He is not say
ing much and there is no blare of
,rumpets announcing his approach,
but the results tell for themselves.
In the office of the Auditor for the
War Department he found two prom
inent clerks from Ohio, whose ser
vices were highly commendable, but
who, for the lack of concerted ac-
ton upon the part of their friends,
were unable to secure advancement.
He took their cases up with the au-
thOrities, with the result that Will
lam H. Clifford, of Cleveland, Ohio,
was promoted to ST 400, and Charles
w. Fillmore of Springfield, Ohio,
to ST 600, and transferred to the Ma
rine Hospital Service. Now, isn't
this going some? He realizes the
necessity of individuality and manly
qualities in demanding and obtaining
justice for the worthy of the race.
If he has just begun his efforts, what
will be the result when he has fn-
ished? In a conversation with a
friend few days ago he said: my
work will not end with the tenure
of my Office, but l mean to continue
to secure recognition for the race
whenever and wherever the oppor-
tunity presents itself" Both men
promoted are we'll known n Ohio, the
former having served in the I.egis-
lature of Ohio, and the latter was
for many years corporation clerk in
the Secretary of States Office, and
major of the Ninth Battalion.

OF FUTURE PLANS

Jackson, Miss. Nov. 21.-
William J. Bryan has written
a letter to Gov. Noel concerning
his future ambitions, from which
the following is an extract:
I have no doubt that there is
work | can do, and l expect to
labor in whatever field / find my
self. The Lord does not require
great things Of US. He simply
requires that we improve the op-
portunities that are presented.
/ note what you say in re-
gard to the senate. We do not
elect for two years yet, and am
not sure that shall be a acandi-
date. prefer to do my work
as private citizen. Even the
presidency was not attractive to
me, except as it offered an op-
portunlty to participate in the Sc.
curing of reforms, and I was a
candidate only because it seemed
to me, from what others said,
that | might be able te strength

J. o. Haas.

At his home miles northeast of Tu-
pelo j. o. Haas quietly passed away
Saturday Nov. 21st surrounded by his
loving wife, children, grandchildren
and quite number Of kind friends.
Mr.. Haas had been in i'll health for
three years gradually declining until
the end came to relieve him Of his suf :
fering. For several months he has
been confined to his bed, and was given
that attention which love prompts by
those nearest us.
Mr. Haas was born in 1854 and join
ed the Methodist church ~ is years of
age having spent as & ars of his life in
the service of his Gsa. He went down
into the valley and shadow of Death
fearing nc evil. Indeed his life cou'd be
held up as one worthv Of Z .ulation.
Devoted to his wife, aft, o.vnate in the
family circle he was lei3ved by all and
his passing away ltaves desolate the
hearts of those nearest him. Indeed
another good, true man has gone to nj !
reward. We could say to the bcr,a ayed
Let us cast all our cares on God Let
us pillow our weary hc4ds on our Saw
ior's bre asst and fnd peaceful rest.
Tie funeral services being conducted
by Irr. Felts of Tupelo, the body was
