HANGING
OF Andrew Williams is Resented by
Negroes of Illinois.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-The hanging Of
Andrew Williams, a colored man, in
the Cook county Jail last week on the
charge of murder, when it has not
been definitely known whether he
committed the murder or not, and the
refusal Of Governor Deneen of this
state. and the Pardon Board to COM
mute his sentence to the penitentiary
or pardon him, has aroused a spirit
of. censure and denunciation against
the Governor and the Pardon Board
A series of meetings will be held in
the future, and resolutions of censure
will be passed denouncing the Pardon
Board and Governor Deneen in the
matter
A great deal of interest is mani
tested by large number of the col
ored people Of Chicago, and various
parts of the state as to the National
Half Century Exposition Of colored
people Of the United States, that will
be held here in the year of 1918.
1T is expected that this will be the
greatest and largest exposition and
the most complete display of what the
colored people has accomplished in
this country, that has ever been held.
The management of the exposition
las week organized a lady board of
managers, which will be selected in
the near future.
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Lee have

nent church people throughout the
city and state and in this western

Presenting, then, that DR.. Payne
will stick to the job he has which is
probably less arduous and certainly
more lucrative than the presidency
Of Institute, the question Of Dr..
Jones successor is still an open one.
The Board Of Regents has not yet an
nounced, even if it has settled upon,
the man who will be placed perma-
nently at the head of the largest in
stitution of learning for Negroes in
the State
1t is safe to assume, basing the as
sumption upon the stand taken by
the Board in a case which came be-
fore it recently from the University,
that they will not be Influenced in
their selection by any political pull
of candidate, but, rather. by his
general itness-his experience and
ability. The position is no sinecure
He who fills it acceptably and makes
the most of the splendid opportuni-
ties 1T offers must be firm without OBJ
truding his power, learned but not
boastful of his superior equipment,
and with a character and the reputa-
ton for having already accomplished
something that will command the re-
spect Of the student body, the fac
ulty and the public. These are the
qualities the Advocate thinks the
Board of Regents VIII look for in
the man upon whom they Sc: their
seal of approval. They have express
ed themselves as determined TO pro-
vide the best material obtainable for
the presidency Of the institution, and,
being men of experience, sound judg-
ment and disccrnment, they may be
depended upon to take an advanced
rather than backward step in chOOs-
ing the man to whom will be en-
trusted the guidance Of this most in
fluential school.

GETTING DOWN TO BED ROCK.

Among the subjects to be emDha-
sized especially by the State Teach
ers' Association, says President Pril-
lerman, are Better English in Our
Schools, and Improved Methods of
Teaching Spelling.
IN the scheme Of education which
now obtains, neither Of these sub
Jects receives the attention which
its importance demands. The null
tiplicity Of branches taught and the
shOrtness Of time allotted to each pre-
vent thoroughness in the acquire
ment Of any one. The result is that
the average pupil has much general,
but very little specific, knowledge.
and even less ability to express in
telligently and correctly what little
he knows. He goes out into the
world laboring under handicap
which but few later overcome. If
he has not learned to spell correctly
during his public school days, the
chances are all against his doing SC
in after life. If the use Of good Eng
fish is not impressed when the mind
is receptive, his speech will come
nearer being dialect than Ian
guage.
Better English and good spelling
are much needed, and, if the teach
ers succeed is discovering and apply
