ABSURD ARGUMENTS.

The relation of the larger universi-
ties Of the United States to the prac-
tical problems of existence is being
emphasized in an astonishing degree
nowadays. If the notion of cloistered
halls where pale-faced students pore;l
over musty tones once held sway,
that idea has entirely disappeared.
The dominant thought appears to be,
how can the training of the schools
be made most useful in bettering the
conditions Of human life.-Chicago
Tribune.
THE APPEAL quotes the foregoing
as an excellent sample of absurd ar
guments respecting education. 1t is
based upon the assumption that edu-
cational courses that ''once held
sway had no relation to the "condi-
tions Of human life"
But, when a pale-faced student dis
covered vaccination, had the discov-
cry no relations to those conditions?
When pale-faced students banished
the plague from London and lighted
her streets with gas, did that have no
relation to the conditions Of life?

FORTY PER CENT GRAFT.

The New York Chief Justice de-
clares that "at least 40 per cent of all
the money appropriated for public use
is lost in graft
1t is probable that this is a very
conservative estimate, and if we add
to the above the vast amounts plun-
dered from the government by the
Arbuckles and Havemeyers, the esti-
mate may safely be doubled.
A small beginning has been made
towards the punishment of these des,
perate thieves by the sending of
Morse to the Atlanta prison, but the
contest to accomplish that slight re-
suit cost the government an eighteen
months struggle. and thousands of
other men just as guilty as Morse are
travelling around in their automobiles
and yachts with not wave of trouble
rolling across their peaceful breasts
But perhaps the day of reckoning
is nearer than some of us think

IN GOOD (?) OLD GEORGIA.

There is great excitement in
Georgia.. In many places white men
and boys are in mobs on the streets
and whenever they see an Afro -Ameri-
can man or woman wearing the badge
Of any secret order, they walk up and
pull it off. r.. ~
Even members of the Grand Army
of the Republic are not allowed to
wear a brass button of their order.
If they do they are sent to the caain
gang for sixty days.
This is said to be done by way of
reprisa1, because of the objections
made by certain Northern Grand
Army men to admitting the statue of
Robert p. Lee to the Hall of Fame.
Now just why the Afro-American
should be held responsible for the
action Of some people in the North
is little hard to see. It is the opin-
ion Of THE APPEAL that General
Lee would regard such petty mean
ness with adherence.

The one hundred thousand Afro
Americans Of Washington City are
either excluded from the theatres of
that city or segregated in the peanut
gallery, and in the case of one theatre
are not permitted to enter at all. This
is a great outrage, but the Afro-Amer-
lean Washingtonians, with all their
wealth. and intelligence lack the nerve
to fight for their rights. Some white
capitalists of Baltimore have decided
to take advantage of existing con6i.
tions and build a theatre for Afro.
