MISS GILBERT DEAD

On the 10th of March at nearly
seyenty-seven years of age, Miss Ka-
Uterine Gilbert, with one exception
the longest in service as an instruc-
tor in Berea College, crossed the river
into the unseen Beyond On the 18th
her mortal remains were laid in the
cemetery at the home of her child
hood, North Brookfield, Mass. Exact
ly one and half years before that
time the writer of this notice was
making a visit at the pleasant home
of Miss Gilbert and her sister Miss
Gilbert's first teaching in the South
was for the colored youth in Louis
vile, under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Missionary Association. After a
few years there she was transferred
to Berea, where she taught for twenty
nine years, retiring in 1898 because
of failing health. At first there was
only graded school work for her 10
do. AS the College developed her
work changed until she became ex-
clusively a teacher of the Academy
and College classes. Her accurate
scholarship and her thoroughness as
an instructor made her teaching al
most unrivalled for its excellence.
She had keen eye for shams, and
a simple remark Of hers effectually
punctured the bubbles OF vanity or
pretense behind which any superb
cial student might try to hide. EN-
mently conscientious herself she fully
appreciated those who conscientious
ly devoted themselves to their work.
In the hearts of such grew up an
admiration and warm friendship for
Miss Gilbert which deepened as the
years went by. Her portrait hangs
among the cherished ones, in the Col
lege chapel, an inspiration to friends
as they turn their eyes upon it. Hers
was an earnest Christian life, and
the Christians faith was her guiding
star, lighting her footsteps as she
went down into the dark valley.

NO EXTRA SESSION:-Governor
Wilson has made public a long re-
ply to the demand of the Anti-Saloon
League for an extra session to pass
a county unit bill. In his reply he
says that he cannot call such ses-
sion because the Constitution provides
that one can be only called to consider
emergencies, and that the County
Unit Bill is not an emergency mea-
sure. He adds that the state can
not afford to have an extra session;
that he does not believe the bill
would be passed and that If it were
passed, he does not believe any good
would be done by it in the short
time between now and the regular
session. He adds a sharp rebuke TO
the men who wrote the letters, for
insinuating in their letter that he
has been influenced by the whiskey
men, or that he is insincere in his
promise to try to have a County Unit
bill passed, and declares that these
men are not helping their cause by
such letters as the one they sent

Taft, and will have the giving out

of course understood that he will be
consulted, but 1t does seem doubtful
whether Taft will punish the men
that supported him. Also, at the bot
tom OF the reports is a paragraph
which says that, after all, Hitchcock
will have the final say-so on appoint
ments all thru the South. The men
that fought Bradley do not seem to
be worrying very much yet.

A CHEERFUL LIAR

One of the most difficult things in
a college course is to find excuses
for things you want to do and ought
hadn't to do. A boy at Racine, Wis,
solved the problem in a clever way,
and now holds the record for that
kind of fakes. In four years he has
received seventy-four un-needed ex-
cuses. He has used almost every
kind of excuse for these, at the head
of the list was sickness-he has claim
ed to have been sick forty times,
when he wasn't. But his real genius
has been in connection with the
deaths OF his four grandmothers.
During the four years he has lost by
death seventeen of that relation
and he still has as many as when he
started. 1t is sad to relate that he
has finally been caught up with.

that the sins belong to this admins
tration." The sins are there, the
wrongs are there, the abuses are
there, and all should be wiped out.
The Times Herald is not seeking to
convict the state administration of
sins. 1t is seeking to bring about hui
name treatment of convicts, seeking
to blot out the shame of the state,
seeking to abolish the bull-whip and
the bat, seeking to soften the rigor
of prison chattel slavery until it can
be effaced for all time, seeking to
demonstrate that it is not the law but
the men behind the law who are re-
sponsible for existing conditions
Dallas Times Herald.
Accepting the Times Herald's state
ment that it is primarily interested
in Kidding the state of the prison
abuses, the Herald can join it heart
lily in that work. This paper stated
some weeks ago that Texas was far
behind in prison management, and
later developments have made this
conviction stronger than ever. How
ever, we still insist that much of the
fault is in the system, and that the
people and public opinion can bring
about change in the system. Let's
at the task.

KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

There is no fairer newspaper in
Texas than the Palestine Daily Her
aid, but when it insisted that the
people. and not the state officials are
to blame for prison scandals the
Times Herald took issue with its Pal
estine friend. Now it comes back:
The Times- .Herald-- the boosted
custodian of the record and its con-
fessed mission in life is to keep that
record straight. And the good Dallas
paper usually plays fair, but in the
above it states only half the truth of
the record. VIII the Times Herald,
with the knowledge before it, under
take to convince us that conditions
are worse under the present admins
tration than they have been under
previous administrations? Is it not
a fact, record keeper, that the condi-
lions in the prisons and in prison
management are the outgrowth of a
system long neglected by the eye of
public investigation? If the Times
Herald is prepared to prove that the
sins belong to this administration
solely, then the Herald will join with
it in crying aloud the shame of Texas.
Let US, in truth, keep the record
straight, and let us with the record
place the blame where it belongs. If
the people-the great masses of the
people-were more alive to public
matters, were more watchful of pub
lie men and public measures, no such
shame as that of the prison scandal
could ever blacken the name of the
state. And we say again that the
people may blame themselves in a
large measure for whatever of wrong
transpires as long as they have the
power to correct. Public opinion is
fearless weapon, and is a sword of
strength that overcomes all wrong.
And the people yield this sword.
The Times Herald plays the game
