STATE SCHOOL.

The state of Tennessee should not
neglect any longer the establishment
Of a state school or institution of
learning for its colored youth. 1t is
an obligation it owes them. Tonnes
see is as much able and as morally
bound to furnish such an institution
as any other Southern state. There
is hardly state in the South but what
has made some kind of provision for
the educational training of its colored
youthu3&t tflihlhg 3 3,8red
We believe that If the proper steps
are taken in this direction something
can be done to interest the ii.esisls-
tlre which will soon be In session to
consider isuch aoproject. Thousands
upon thousands Of dollars go into the
state treasury every year which ac-
crue from the taxable property Of the
colored people. The state would not
only be discharging long deferred OBJ
legation to its colored citizenry by
giving them a state school, but
would be doing justice to those whO
bear an equal share Of the burden OF
taxation for the support OF all the
functions Of government in direct
ratio Of their holdings with any other
class Of its population, and their hold
ings, real or personal, are by no means
small or insignificant
Let the matter of state institution
of learning for our boys and girls be
taken up and pressed with vigOr and
earnestness. Let us begin now the
formulation of plans to accomplish
this end. Let the incoming Gen.
eral Assembly be memorialized. Let
our claims be set forth in ne
half-hearted manner, but in an In
telligent way that will bespeak ear
nestness. We should not let this mat
ter of securing a state school for our
youth lag. Let us address ourselves
to this task seriously as becomes men
who know what they want, and work
faithfully for its attainment.

Praise Due Head Nurse at Mercy
Hospital.
To the Nashville Globe:
We cannot praise the head nurse
at Mercy Hospital too much. The
interest she has taken in the teaching
and training Of the nurses, she has
made wonderful progress, although
her stay there has only been short.
She is graduate of Lincoln Hospital,
New York City, having taken a post
course abroad for Ave years. She is.
very clever and common-sensed. AL
admire her for her high idea Of
nursing Her plea is fer women of a
higher education to become trained
nurses We sincerely hope that the
management will be able to have
Miss White remain. with them. All
are very much in love with and ad-
mire her. A FRIEND.

HAYTT.

Hayti Is again to the front with q
piece Of her revolutionary folly which
occurs almost invariably after few
years of administration of the gov
eminent by the successful political
party. This method of procedure, this
periodical uprising Of the "outs"
against the 'ins," has been the sinis-
ter curse Of. the little republic, the
stumbling-bIock in the pathway of her
development. These eVer-reeurring
civil brawls have paralyzed her bust
ness, demoralized her people and
checked the development of her natur-
al resources.
Despite the warnings that her
evil course is leading to the loss Of
her independence and identity and
final absorption by the United States.
she stumbles blindly on In her mad
career to that sure and final efface-
ment. Already is this government
being wheedled into a contemplation
OF such program by suggestions o.
the press at home and abroad, espe-
cially France and England. And
ence her foot on Haytian soil, under
any pretext, and Hayti Is Hayti no
more. The story of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines will be
that OF the little Black Republic
swallowed up by the giant of the West
ern Hemisphere. The Monroe Doc
trine precludes any European country
absorbing her, and that is why they
are clamoring for this country to in
terfere with the affairs Of the island
republic. The Negro people of this
country are solicitous about the fu-
ture Of Hayti, owing to impending pos
sibilities.
1t would be unfortunate that all
that was done by Toussaint LOWER
ture, the great liberator the man who
finally fell the unsuspecting victim of
Napoleon's treachery and died of
starvation in a French prison, the
man whom Wendell Phillips, one of
Americas noblest sons and greatest
orators, delighted to honor by paying
his memory one of the most eloquent
and eulogistic tributes ever uttered in
any language, and that all that was
done by the intrepid Jean jacques
Dessalines, the greatest of Haytian
leaders, who drove the French from
his country, should have been done
in vain.
President Nord Alexis, the present
head OF the government, is said to

JOSEPH B. FORAKER.

Senator Joseph B. Foraker, who
championed tae rights of q people
who were unable to defend themselves,
Is still being pursued by the hate Of
those whose nefarious plans he frus-
trated. His enemies seek now to de-
stroy him politically. And why? Be-
cause he had the courage to uphold
the vital and basic principle upon
which this government stands, that
no man, black, white or otherwise,
should be condemned and punished
without trial The head and front of
his offending were that he asked that
certain charges brought against GER
tain men of a certain color be thor
oughly investigated, and that the ar.
bitrary order discharging them dis
honorably from service in the army be
held in allegiance until the charges
against them were established by suf-
fcient and competent proof. Sena-
tor Foraker was defending the rights
Of men who had done him no particu-
lar favor, but who had doubtless saved
the life of the COL Roosevelt and
made 1t possible for him to heap upon
them humiliation, hardship and in
justice. When this man and his com.
mand were being cut to pieces by an
unseen foe, the men whom he after.
ward ordered discharged without
honor" on a hearsay complaint, threw
themselves in the breach and saved
him and his regiment from utter an
inhalation. They were Negro soldiers
who did this, yet, they have no rights,
according to his way Of thinking, as
subsequent actions proved, which
ne was bound to respect. He, with
mis- political minions, is trying to
destroy the defender of his defenders.
Charles p Taft, brother to Presi.
dent-elect Taft, is selected to defeat
Senator Foraker for the senatorial
seat the latter now holds. We can
not tell what the outcome is going to
be, but first, last and all the time our
sympathies are with the man big
enough of soul to do the right because
1t Is right; the man who dared to
call to question the unjust procedure
OF the powers that be; the man who
invited the possibility OF his political
elimination, not because he was insen.
sible Of such possibility, but because
ne would have rather been right
than to have retained his political
prestige and remained coward in
is own conscience by side-stepping a
conscientious duty to men who were
handicapped by their color and who
'ad no advocate to represent their
gguse.

Recent lawlessness in this state has
given rise to the expression of Opln-
ion in some quarters that the Consti-
tuition in its present form has out
lived its best usefulness, and that a
Constitutional Convention should be
called for revision, that the Grim
inal laws may be made effectively
operative through right methods Of
procedure and administration. The
authorities of the state have had a
hard time in the last few weeks to
hold prisoners whom they suspected OF
being implicated in crimes against
the peace and dignity of the common
wealth. Owing to the Effectiveness
OF the fundamental law, upon which
all other laws are predicated, able and
technical lawyers came very near tear
ing their prisoner-clients from the
grasp of the state authorities.
