HOUNDING VERNON

friends of Dr.. Washington ATTEMPTED
to work up sentiment against the
Register on the grounds that he was
persona non grata to the eminent
Iuskegeean. Then some of the Wash

employees were in open rebellion and
had made a demand for a white chief
Now comes a report from st. Louis
after Mr.. Vernon has been given every
assurance OF his reappointment and
has resigned the presidency of Western
University, that a number or repre-
sentative Negroes of Missouri, under
standing that Mr. Vernon will resume
teaching, have endorsed another for
his place.
Viewed from this standpoint there
seems to be neither rhyme nor reason
IN any Of these attempts to depose the
Register. His record is clean. He
has made an efficient officer. He has
served but few months over the
regular four-year term. Then why
hound the man? About every other
Negro office-holder is allowed to remain

THE NEGRO EXPOSITION

1t is rather difficult to name the
party or parties responsible for the
deteat or the Negro Exposition bill.
Even if it were possible, it is extremely
doubtful if any good could be accom-
pllshcd by pursuing such a course.
1t sufhces that the necessary number
OF votes was not to be had to take the
Dill up out of its regular order. What
the race needs to do now is to begin
TO map out it's course for another at
tempt. Necessarily some organization
must take the lead and it strikes us
that none is SO qualified as the Ma
tlonal Negro Business League with
which the movement originated.

DIR. n. G.. BRACKET

DR.. Bracket is dead. In his passing
there went out into the Great Beyond
one of the little band of Yankee
martyrs who offered all the best they
had in them to heal the wounds in
flicted by their brethren in four years
OF deadly, destructive strife.
Now that AL is quiet along the
Potomac and the days when the
south sullenly took up the work Of
REIMBURSEMENT to new conditions, con-
ditions apparently irreconciable with
her proud traditions, are but a faint
memory, we can not place their true
value upon the privations suffered
the indignities patiently borne by the
God-fearing little band Of men and
women who came among a hostile pco-
pie from their northern homes, to en-
Tighten the freedmen. We cannot
sense the obstacles they were called
upon to overcome, the ostracism with
which they were hedgcd about by
those who held them on a lower social
level than that occupied by their one
time slaves
Dr. Bracket was among those who
entered upon the work of the rcdemp-
tlon Of race under these trying con-
ditions. Insulted and assaulted, his
days full Of worry with his ignorant
charges, his nights repose ofttimes
broken by the jeers and missiles hurl-
ed by inimical neighbors. he and his
faithful wife valiantly struggled to
turn darkness into light, to set aglow
the fame Of knowledge where dense
Ignorance held full sway
The work was hard, the pay was
poor ana the encouraGementS were few
yet he labored on unseIfshly, painstak-
ingly; little by little overcoming the
prcjudiccs Of his ncighbors and I'M
pressing upon his students the funda-
mental truths. But the forty-six years
OF toll were not in vain. Ere Death S
sickle moved him down he stood uDon
tlie eHllnenco or HE well spent and
looked down upon hundreds of Negro
men and Negro women whose lives
were made better by his having lived
hundreds who had received the lamp
OF knowledge from his hand and had
thrown its Frightening rays into the
dark places Of the world Dcspised of
men when he entered upon his lifc's
work, he lived to see the day when
these same men felt honored to re-
pose in him their trust
Full of honors and full of years,
Dr. Brackets soul has returned to
him who gave it. If there be anything
in living a clean, upright, Christian
life, in helping the needy, in lifting
the fallen, in encouraging the weak
brother, then his work was well done
and he has entered the home prepared
for the saints.
