PREJUDICE AT ANN ARBoR.
Lapslsy Finally Placed on Track Team
of Eamous lnstitution.


Ann Arbor. Mich.-Lapsley. color
ed sprinter, will be given a place on
the University of Michigan track team
this year. He is given place on the
track team not because of his ability
as an all round athlete and his fitness
for Just the work. for the working Of
color prejudice came very nearly beat
ing him out of it. He is given his
place by reason of the fact that two
colored law students. seniors. interest
ed themselves in his behalf and in be-
half OF justice and saw to it that
justice was done.
After repeated trials for place on the
track team and Lapsley had outdis-
tanced all his fellows he was com
PEELED to run against the captain Of the
team, record holder, who was like
wise outdistanced. Fear Of unpleas-
antness while the team is on the road,
the Inconvenience of having to provide
separate hotel accommodations in
some cities. was given as good reason
why Lapsley should not be given place
on the team.
Richard Hill. Jr.. senior law STU
dent from Nashville. Tenn. with an
other law student. approached Presi-
dent Hutchins. who with Dean Reed.
discussed the matter freely with the
aggressive champions of fair play.
The faculty. President Hutchins de-
clared, was powerless to act in the
matter. since the division of athletics
was under direct control Of the board
of regents. The young men were re-
ferred to Mr.. Bartleme. the head Of
the athletic department. who Presi-
dent Hutchins declared was fair and
square man.
When approached by the young men
with reference to Lapsley's case Mr..
Bartleme expressed his intention to
deal fairly in the matter and expressed
sympathy with the colored students of
Ann Arbor. who often suffered from
the narrow mindedness and prejudice
of the other students. He stated that
the reason Lapsley had not been placed
on the team before was more because
of the conditions they would meet else
where than at Ann Arbor.
Colored students at Ann Arbor are
very much pleased with the result Of
the unsolicited action on the part of
Mr.. Hill and join more heartily in
making him their racial hero. Mr..
Hill was also elected recently as treas
urer of the Jeffersonian society.

history Of educational work among the

as the summer school and Chautauqua

With a corps of instructors from the
leading institutions and a number Of
the best lecturers of both races, teach
ers and preachers from nearly every
state in the Union registered as STU
dents. the campus of the institution
presents an animating scene.
Every day since the school opened
1t has been visited by number of dis
tinguished visitors who were astound-
ed at the development of the work
and its farreaching scope. Promi-
nent teachers and letters from various
parts of the country have occasioned
a series of social events which have
made Durham for Afro-Americans q
Mecca of intellectual and progressive
activity. The school will be in ses-
sion six weeks
Among the inspiring events Of the
first week was a series of lectures by
Rev. DR.. Jesse l.. Hurlburt Of New
Jersey, who enjoys the unique distinc-
ton of being one of the most authen-
tic authorities on the Bible in America.
Every evening the beautiful audito-
rum is filed with an audience COM

Good Advice For Prehibition;.t,.

PrOhibittUnists have been preaching
the, doctrine of cold water in Texas
for long time. The Dallas Express
says it is against any more prohibition
for the colored man. He is prohibited
enough. What we want is to see
few prohibitions killed or. He is
great prohibition burden bearer Why
burden him further? His prohibitions
are already greater than any other
race would bear. Advice to prohibi-
ttonists: Don't trouble liquor and
liquor will not trouble you.

tional needs of his people. He is an
alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college. the
Massa chusetts Agricultural college and
Boston university. His experience as
teacher in the State Agricultural col
lege of Florida and his long business
connection with the home mission
schools in Atlanta commended him to
the society as the man peculiarly fitted
to take up this work for the race in
Mississippi
With faculty Of cultured men and
women from the best schools In the
country the graduates and students
have every reason to feel assured that
Its former high standard will be main
tanned.
In addressing a body of educators
Professor Hubert said: Incorporation
should be the slogan Of all the schools
in the state of Mississippi for the edu-
cation of colored youth. While each
should have its particular field of ac-
tivity, meeting such needs as its con-
stituents demanded. yet they should
fill common purpose in the formation
Of Christian character by the unifica-
ton of effort.
None of US can say that because we
are colored. that because We have
colored president and colored faculty
at Jackson college. we ought to be ap-
preciated by the people. 1t is only
merit that counts II we can show
the people. If we can show the state,
that we are worthy we will have their
confidence. II not we deserve to fail"

Jackson, Miss.-In keeping with Its
policy of turning its large colored
schools over to the management OF the
race as soon as practicable the Ameri-
can Baptist Home Mission society has
recently named Professor q. T. Hubert

the installation Of Professor John

college and the turning over Of the
new Roger Williams university to col

south, whom it has for so long helped

American music as a whole"
How serlousl
Perhaps that is why foreigners have
been unwilling to treat us seriously when
We have talked OF American music. Per
haps it is because so many learned
Americans insist that the rag-time pro-
auctions of the music-hall and the vaude-
Vile be examined with care and judg-
ment, and that they be taken solemnly
into account when speaking Of "Ameri-
can music as a whole" as the Doctor
Professor says.
The professor should know and doubt
less does know that the scientific fact
beneath ragtime is the fact of Syneopa-
ton. That in the best music we have
syncopatlon, which the dictionary defines
as "a term in music applied to the con-
Meeting Of an unaccented with the next
accented beat" or the tying-over a weak
beat to the next strong beat; In other
words, 1t is what the colored gem man
and the old nanny do when they clap
the hand and stamp the foot alternately,
which you have seen done as far back
as you can remember.
Now this is negro in its character. And
yet 1t is used by some OF the greatest
composers who never heard or ever saw
a negro. and syncopation (Which 10 what
tho negro does) has therefore an absolute
basis Of its own, and negro music uses
syncopation without scientific knowledge
Of the fact Place the beat Of the foot
and the clap Of the hand at the same
instant and your syncopation is done.
%
Now reduce the proposition 10 its fund
amentals: syncopation is a form Of music
which is very characteristic OF this
country; not at all. Negro music Is
characteristic strictly OF this country. Not
at all. II Is Characteristic OF the negro
race. It is more characteristic OF Ken
lucky Georgia, Tennessee than Il Is OF
Maine, or New Hampshire, or Illinois.

Garden has come to our support In
a recent interview given to the New York
World she pays her respects to Ameri-

thought they ought to think, They wanted

They've been kind enought 10 me, so It
may seem ungrateful to tell the truth

Root Juice saved my life"
Hundreds OF similar statements
have been Issued by persons who
have tested the discovery and many
of them are prominent and influential
people whose words cannot be doubt

ported cures are: Mr.. J.. Thomas
Hayes. Mrs. c. H. Davis, Mr.. Charles

It seems that the Root Juice
works very quickly in most cases and
particularly so in stomach trouble.
The first few doses are said to pro-
duce noticeable benefit 1t exerts q
soothing, healing influence upon the
stomach and wonderfully improves
digestion. Another remarkable effect
of the medicine is the manner in
which it seems to sharpen the appe-
tite. Persons who have not known
what it is to sit down and enjoy a
hearty meal say that after taking the
Juice for a few days they are always
hungry at meal time and their diges-
ton seems perfect.
In cases of rheumatism and kidney
trouble the medicine does not seem
to take effect quite so rapidly ans
sometimes several days elapse before
relief is felt. Most people however.
say that in a comparatively short
time the most remarkable results are
accomplished and that the pain and
soreness and swelling soon disappear
Inquiry at one of the leading drug
stores of Davenport brought forth
the statement that the demand for
the medicine has reached unheard OF
proportions and that those who were
first to obtain 1t are now coming
back with glowing reports of the
most astonishing cures.
