Do Tuskegees Students after completing the
curriculum of the school and back to their former
homes seek new ones give good account of them
selves In other words do the students practice
what thep were taught? There is no denying the
fact that the institution leads the world in its industrial
showing and for that Dr. Washington and his assistant
are to be congratulated But the question is, does
that finish the students get while in school last or
does off and in after life the graduates of Tus-
kegee drop back in the old ruts their fathers
travelled in? Tuskegee and other institutions fash
ioned after it have turned enough industrial gradu
ates in the South for to begin to marked i'm

cosy cottages and highly cultivated plats of ground
should have taken their places The desire to own

of helping his fellow and if he successful he
desired greater monument to his memory than that
of good roads throughout the Northwest in particular

William jennings Bryans paramount issue for
his next presidential campaign will, judging from
marks made by him while in Seattle few days ago, be
the election of the presidents cabinet by popular
vote. Bryan always gets popular paramount issue,
which attracts considerable attention eight
months prior to the election, but goes gmmerng on
election day. With all his brilliancy, from political
standpoint he nevertheless is complete false alarm.
