WILL NOT DOWN.

The Brownsville affair continues to
be thorn in the flesh of the admins
tration and it's candidate. The New
York Sun in discussing the subject
makes the following comments:
We do not know what to make of
the story that both Senators have rep
resented to Mr.. Foraker that to give
out the majority and minority conclu-
sions would hurt the Republican par
ty. Mr.. Foraker can hardly be eX-
pected to lend sympathetic ear; not
that he desires to see his party dam
aged by the inconsistencies which even
the majority report would inevitably
disclose, but because no consideration
was shown him when he began his
uphill fight in behalf of the rights of
the Negro soldier. But the reports will
have to come out, because if they were
suppressed bad matter would be
made worse by the unpleasant suspi-
cion that the Administration had used
its influence to prevent publicity for
its own purposes.
Neither the President nor Mr.. Taft
wants to hear Brownsville mentioned
again. Both these gentlemen, and all
their supporters and hackers, know
that the discharge of whole battalion
of men for the alleged crime of few
was morally, and is eternally, indie
feasible. 1t is not the malefactors of
great wealth, but the malefactors
whom he struck from the rolls of the
army in moment of evil inspiration
that are making the President walk
the floor these nights.

UNIVERSITY FOR NEGROES IN
WEST TENNESSEE.
Division of First and Second Morrill,
Funds-The Globe Turns More
Light on the Subject.
Special to The NdShVilIe Globe:

Special TO The NGShUiHe Globe:
Knoxville, Tenn, Feb 27.-There
was special meeting of the Trustees
of the University of Tennessee in ses-
sion here yesterday. The business
transacted was of vast importance, in
that it covered the educational work
of the State schools. Their delibera-
tions no doubt marked a new epoch
in the educational fields. The trustees
took new stand and virtually decided
to turn over a new leaf. The cause
of this is attributed to the agitation
begun in The Nashville Globe over a
year ago for the just and equitable di-
vision of the First and Second Morrill,
Fund provided for in and under the
provisions Of the Act of Congress, ap-
proved July 2, 1862, and the Act of
Congress, approved August &c. 1890.
Said funds for the benefit of agricul-
ture and mechanic arts in the several
states and territories in the Union.
The articles appearing in The Globe
unquestionably disclosed many facts
heretofore not known to the State at
large, and will no doubt be the means
of the Negroes of Tennessee receiving
at least one-fourth of the funds COM
ing from the United States Treasury,
the direct returns from the money in
vested as an endowment fund for
these state schools. The trustees Of
the University of Tennessee after dis
cussing educational matters at length
and, no doubt, with view of making
provisions to get Tennessee's portion
of the funds to be given each state un-

on account of his wide experience as
reporter, and his ability as a sue

qualified to discuss this subject so as
to be of practical benefit to beginners
than any other man of the race in the

HITCHCOCK.

1t is being generally charged that
an effort is being made to round up con,
ventions and delegates by the federal
ofice-holders of the South in the inter
est of Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Hitchcock, of Massa-
chusetts, has been appointed the man
ager Of the campaign because, it is
said of his wide acquaintance with
office-holders. The National Review of
New York has the following to say of
Mr.. Hitchcock and his plans:
Frank Hitchcock has resigned his
position as an Assistant Postmaster
General to take charge of Secretary
Taft's candidacy in the South, under
direct supervision of President Roose.
welt. That is to say that he will be
sent through the South to bulldoze and
buy delegates; to defeat the wishes of
nine-tenths of the South, and to throw
out of district and State conventions
the colored political leaders, and boil
ster up the Federal bunch and the
precious lilies. All in the name of the
Fountain of Purity.
We have no fears The Negro lead
ers are united most surprisingly and
they are prepared not only to fight
to the death for their principles, but
to resent the interference of those who
come advertised to prevent them hav-
ing voice in their affairs. Mr.. Hitch
cock we expect no more of; but of Mr..
Roosevelt we are ashamed. We believe
the Chicago convention will sanction
no such Political hum-buggery.

The above communication from
Knoxville should recall to the read
ers of this paper the vigorous cam
paign waged during the last legisla-
ture by The Nashville Globe for an
equal division of the First and Second
Morrill, Funds. 1t appears from the
special correspondence from Knox
vile that the University Of Tennessee
is making an effort to have its trus-
tees receive the funds provided for in
Mr.. Nelson's Bill, which is an amend
ment to the Morrill, Fund, First and
Second.
There is no State school for Negroes
in the State of Tennessee, and they
have never received their portion of
this educational fund provided for by
the government, nor have they re-
ceived any portion of the fund for the
agricultural experiment station. 1t
might be information and of interest
to the readers of The Globe to know
just how much money is provided for
in these various Acts of Congress for
the agricultural and mechanic arts.
The First Morrill, Fund, approved July
2, 1862, provides each state for its col
leges an income of $15,031 annually
The Second Morrill, Fund, approved
August 80, 1890, provides each state
with an annual income Of $4,000. The
total amount of the two Funds annual
ly amounts to $40,031. The amount
provided for by Act of Congress in
1887 for an agricultural experiment
station provided for an annual income
for $4,000, making a total of $55,091
year. If a Negro school had re-
ceived even one-fourth of this fund
annually since 1900, it would have
amounted to $13, 75775 a year, and this
sum for seven years would make
grand total of 96,30425 that the Ne
gro youth of Tennessee would have re-
ceived for educational purposes. Judg-
ing from the above communication, it
looks as though the State authorities
will gobble up the additional $4,000
provided annually beginning 1909, UNI
der the guise that they are having a
Western College or University for Ne
groes. Every State in the Union, ex,
cept Tennessee, that has separate
schools provides equally for the Ne
gro youth out of the Morrill, Fund,

To the Memory of Ellis c. McNairy
of Damon LODGE, No. 2.


Whereas. At a meeting of the Grand
Lodge representatives held February
16, 1908, Sir Knights j. A. o. Brought
on, John Cunningham and j. w.
Blaine were appointed as a commit
tee to formulate a series of resolu-
lions to show the respect and high
regard that the Grand Representa-
tives of Middle Tennessee hold and
bear toward our dear brother and
co-Knight who has passed over the
threshold of Death. Let us pause!
"There is no death. What seems so
is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysians
Whose portal we call death"

Sir Knight Ellis G. McNairy was an
active co-worker with the army OF val
liant Knights and Sir Knights Of Da-
mon Lodge, No. 2. He was Chan
cellor, Past Chancellor, and in
Louisville, KY, at the session of the
Supreme Lodge September 2-7, 1907
the most coveted degree of the Pyth-
ian knighthood was conferred upon
him. that of Past Grand Chancellor.
Sir Ellis C. McNairy has lived in
this community in such a way and
manner that he has endeared himself
to all with whom he came in contact
He walked always in the morning OF
his life, and longed to be of untold
service to his, race. He was a man OF
high ambition, and had high aspira
tions for the Ethiopian race and was
always found at the head of the col
umns, championing it's cause. He
lived during the SO years of his life
in the morning of his life-he was
called from our midst to appear be-
fore his creator, God. Sunday morn
ing, February 16, 1908, at 7:15 o'clock
to enjoy the rest of the weary pill
grimage in that land of bliss and hap
piness.
Therefore, We, the Grand Represen
tatives and Past Chancellors of the X
of p, deem it fitting that we should
express our feelings on this occasion:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God in his infinite wisdom, to remove
from our rank and file, our most wor
thy and esteemed brother and cola
borer, Knight Ellis G. McNairy; and
be it further
Resolved, That we, as Grand Repre-
sentatives, do respectfully bow our
heads in sorrow with the family and
relatives of our beloved deceased
brother and extend to them our heart
felt sympathy in this the hour of their
sore bereavement; and, be it further
Resolved That copy of these res
olutiCns be sent to the family and rel
atives of the deceased Knight Ellis G.
McNairy, and published in the Pyth
ian News, the Globe and the Clarion
newspapers of the city of Nashville,

not smile as pleasantly as he did on
his last visit to this city. On that
occasion the New Haven poloists
rubbed it in good and hard, but the
tables will be turned tonight if con-
fidence can do it. Sore over the
humiliating beating administered to
them, the Waterbury players will do
to New Haven what they did to New
Britain. There is no denying the
fact that they can do it, if they only
half try. Bone will have Lincoln
on the rush line with him and of
course Paul Gardner will be at half
back. That will mean that Jack
Fahey and Gardner will renew their
acquaintanceship, which was so
strenuous on the last meeting 1t
will be fast game without doubt
and will be fought out to the finish,
with both teams anxious for vic

fessor Mike Dwyer and others Schon-

Sit there to-day and open up and

Stand up and wave my hat and yell

Turn to some guy and bet a hard

Because he's rootin' for the other
team.
I'd like to see the boys all in their

Once more to see them athletes

To see a double play fairly itch.

Heaved at the Jump for calm some

If there was just a game to-day, my

Would be wide open in a lustS
shout.
And just to think it's weeks till
they're returnin'
From some place where they'll
spend the winter days.
They'd come home sooner IL they
knew I'm ysarnin'
To see them in thousand different
ways.
That's why the world for me is full

FIRES HOT SHOT
Issy Winters Dipped His Pen in
Acid and Scorched Off a

All sporting writers in the state,
and out of it, who have on many oc-
casions written about Winters the
wrestler in New Haven, have been
spelling his first name lizzie, bnt ac-
cording to the gentleman himself, they
have all been wrong. The writer is
in receipt of two communications
from the lad himself and he signs his
name Issie Winters, so we will have
to agree with him that the last Is
correct But those communications
have burned several holes in The pa
inflammatory were they. They both
sail into Jack Roach Of this city, with
all banners flying and Jack will have
to bestir himself if he wants 20 up
hold his reputation. In part Mr. Issy
speaks as follows:
Il have jsut come back from my
southern trip, where won about
fifty matches. That makes me win
ner now of 116 matches AS | am
more advanced in the wrestling game
than the rest of the wrestlers are,
land he writes this without Il blush,
too, and as | have read in the papers
that Jack Roach is in the wrestling
game again, l will agree to throw
him twice in one hour for any amount
of money that he wishes to put up.
We had an agreement to wresiIe once
before, but owing to Jack suddenly
getting cold feet" we did not get
together. Il am willing to make
sacrifice to meet him, In agreeing to
throw him twice in one hour. Now,
if Roach has got the Irish lighting
blood in him, that he claims he has,
and not the yellow streak l know he
has he must of necessity take up this
offer. | hope to hear from him
soon. AS | wreste at 125 pounds, 1t
would not be fair for him to weigh
over 1870. AS to my last match with
Lawson, of Naugatuck, 1 had him
showing the yellow streak in fifteen
minutes, but no wrestler on earth
can beat the referee, and the man he
is competing against. In conclusion
l will say that If Roach is not fnan-
cially fixed so that he can put up
side bet, will meet him in the han
dicap match, winner to take all the
gate receipts"

FOUR STARS STILL
ON THE OUTSIDE
Lachance, Farley, Swander and
Bastiau Have Not Returned
Their Contracts.

All the contracts of the old players
on the Waterbury team have been
signed and returned with the excep-
ton of Lachance, Farley, Swander
and Bastian. Manager Durant denies
that he wanted to trade Lachance for
Larkin of the New Bedford team, al.
though Jimmy Caravan says he did
but be that as 1T may Lachance car
wear local uniform again il he
wants to. Farley and Durant have
been brought into closer friendship
through the efforts of Herman Schip-
eel and it is possible Farley may AIS
be seen in a Waterbury uniform
Swander is in doubt but may be here
Bastian also is doubtful as his con-
tract has not been Forthcoming. The
whole thing seems to hitch on Sum
day baseball. 1t is reported that the
contracts specify, if Sunday baseball,
is allowed the coming season, the old
players will not be cut in the salaries
they received last season and some
of them may receive an increase
That, it is said, is the reason La
chance, Farley, Swander and Bastian
have not signed. AS the blue" laws
have been put in force during the
winter on several sports, some of the
players fear that the powers that be
may put the quietus on professional
Sunday baseball, and they will there
fore have to put up with the alleged
cut in their salaries. However all
may be in line when the blue bird
first chirps. Many exhibition games
have been arranged for the pro-sea-
son contests and several good Sun
day games have been booked all
through the season with some of the
star teams of the country.
