Fifty-six Years in One School,

Prof. zephaniah Hopper, the Oldest
school teacher, in Philadelphia, who
is eighty-two years old, began his
fifty-sixth year of teaching at the
Central High school.
He was greeted by the faculty and
by another generation of students, as
he marched into the assembly hall
the other day. He is as active as
ever, still walking every day to and
from his home.
The veteran professor was gradu-
ated in the first class that left the
high school. After spending a few
years at college and in special work,
he went back to the school as a pro-
fessor. He has remained there ever

TAFT AND THE AFRO-AMERlCAN.

The appointment of William II. Lew
is, of Massachusetts, as Assistant At
torney General of the United States,
marks new era in race progress 1t
is positive advance over anything in
the line of political appointments ever
made by Republican President.
In his inaugural address President
Taft said:
"The Negroes are now Americans.
Their ancestors came here years ago
against their will, and this is their
only country and their only flag"
Any recognition of distinguished
Negroes, any appointment to office
from among their number, is properly
taken as an encouragement and an ap-

AFRo-AMERlcAN CHOSEN ASSIST.
ANT ATTORNEY GENERAL.
New Official, Will Rank Above Briga-
dier Generals, Navy Captains, Dis
trict Court Justices, and Commits
sioners, Senator Lodge to Work for
Confirmation.

William H. Lewis, an Afro-Ameri-
can of Boston, was appointed by Presi-
dent Taft yesterday to the important
post of Assistant Attorney General of
the United States.
One Of the assistants in the Depart
ment of Justice has been engaged for
long time on special work, and this
man has given notice. that, on the
completion of his present work, he
will resign. Speaker Cannon and
other leaders recommended to the At
torney General that, when the 1ncum-
bent resigns, the place be abolished.
It is now likely, however, that Lewis
will be given the place, taking over
some of the duties Of the other assist
ants. ..
From members of official and social
sets, objections we're raised at the
first mention of Lewis name. The
bitterest protests come, however, from
the Democrats in the Senate and the
House. It was bad enough that the
Republican party should stand spon-
sor for the Sutherland amendment to
the direct elections resolution, which
was meant to protect the Afro-Ameri-
can, but now the Republican party is
preparing to elevate an Afro-Ameri-
can to the highest office ever confer
red on that race. This is the argu-
ment of the Democrats
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, it
is understood, will fight hard for the
confirmation of the appointment of
Lewis. -

which he started to Washington was
wrecked, and Mr.. Porter very badly
bruised. but not seriously injured
Speaking of the time that he was ad-

4 Gayel for Clark.

The constituents of Champ Clark are
cock sure that he is going to be elected
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, and they are going to see that he
has the right kind of gavel to splin-
ter the Speakers desk. The material
of which this gavel is to be made has
history. In 1884 an old-fashionad
mill was built on Peno Creek, Missouri.
a half mile from Its mouth, over the
line OF Pike County, by one Enoch Mat
son. A piece of the apron log of the
dam was cut out By Mr.. Matson and
Warren Hatcher about year ago. The
timber is sound. dry and solid. and it is
out OF this timber that that gavel IS to
be made. This mill was the first built
north of the Missouri River. and it is
said that the dam is haunted and that
no fish will live in the water. The
reason of the "hant" is that an InGian
girl who lived at the old site of the
dam fell in love and ran away with a
white man. This elopement angered
the chief. her father, who caught them,
and dumped them in the water at the
dam, where they persisted. The trag-
edy. according to the story, drove the
fish away.
