Of Humble and Unpretentious Beginning,
Howard University Has Won Title to
High Rank In the Educational World.
Students Sustain Her Honor

By OLIVER RANDOLPH.

Forty-two years have rolled by since
the chartering of Howard university
at Washington. Its beginning was
humble and unpretentious. Today it
ranks high In the educational world.
Because of the fact that it is largely
supported and maintained by the gov
ernment of the United States it has a
national significance to Afro-Ameri
cans. The last session of congress
added $4,000 to its annual appropri-
alton for the university and appropri-
ated 100000 for new building for
the department of science There Is
also in course of construction a $4,000
library, the gift of Andrew Carnegie.
Thirty-fve states were represented
by students during the session of
190S-9, which is an evidence of the
national scope of the school. There
were also 112 students from nine for

Advance In Howard University.
This year marks great advance in
Howard university. The foundation
of the new $4,000 library is in, and
the construction of the building will
be continued as rapidly as practicable,
so that, if possible it may be ready
for occupancy early this fall. 1t is the
gift of Mr. Carnegie and is 40 by SO
feet constructed Of red brick, trimmed
with stone and terra Gotta. 1t will be
IL beautiful building. well equipped
with modern appliances.
The new Science hall, which is to
cost 100000. will also be completed
soon. 1t is 60 by l25 feet, with three
stories and a high basement, mostly
above ground 1t will have modern
conveniences and first class equipment
In all its laboratories and-lecture
rooms.
There have been added a new pro-
fessor of physics and instructor in bi-
ology. an expert cataloguer and an
other worker in the library. This
gives in the force of instruction two
men in chemistry. two in physics and
two in biology.
In 10OS two specialists were added
to the faculty of the Teachers college.
This department has great future.
Though 1t has a growing attendance.
it cannot prepare advanced teachers
rapidly enough to meet the demand for
them in the high schools, normal
schools. industrial departments and
colleges of the country.
The College of Arts and Sciences.
The College of Arts and Sciences is
devoted to higher academic and lib
eral studies. The standard In extent
and variety of courses is fully abreast
of the standard OF American colleges.
There are courses In English, mathe-
matics. astronomy, Greek. Latin, his
tory, physics, chemistry, biology. geo.
ogy, French, German, psychology.
philosophy, pedagogy. commercial law,

that students may hope to anticipate

DEMOCRATS
And a Little Of Everything Else.

The First Congressional District
cast about its usual democratic
vote at the last election, in fact our
majority was little larger than
usual. We had all classes of dem
Ocrats here Old Guard and Young
Guard, Folk and Stone, Cowherd and
Ball with a strong sprinkling of
Wallace. But at the election all
were just plain common demo-
Gratis. And yet Missouri went re-
publican. We are told that St,
Louis did it. And yet we carried
Kansas City and St. Joe which is
not always the case by any means.
In former years it made little diff
ference how St. Louis and Kansas
City voted. If they gave heavy re-
publican majorities it only cut
down the democratic majorities.
But the heavily democratic counties
of South and Southwest Missouri
are gone. We get republican ma
joritieS from that section now. 1t
makes little difference as to why
this is so, but it proves that Mis-
souri, is fighting ground from now
on. 1t is no longer necessary sim
ply to get out the democratic vote
to carry the state. The democratic
vote is not large enough to carry
the state. We need recruits from
the outside. Where will we get
them? Not from the temperance
element, certainly. The rank and
file of the democratic party is anti
saloon. There can be no question
of that. And yet the democratic
senate refused to submit a prohibit
i've amendment which the republic
can house has previously passed.
And this is just what is killing the
democratic party in Missouri. Give
2x4 politician a little Office and
he Immediately starts out to do the
brain work for the party. In the
last campaign the party lost votes
because it. did not 90 quite far
enough to please the liquor ele-
ment and yet went too far to hold
the temperance men. The whisky
men voted for Hadley and the tenn
perance people voted against Cow
herd. And so on the tariff ques-
ton. Even Senator Vest voted for
tariff on zinc to please the Joplin
crowd. What did he make by it?
Today Jasper county is one of the
strongest republican counties in the
state. And Stone votes with the
Aldrich crew, for what reason nc
one but himself knows. How can
a party expect to win victories I'm,
der such leadership? If we are to
win next year we must put forward
a sound man on sound platform
and quit playing good Lord, good
