Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 26.-The
western University Of Kansas is
showing signs of new life and yigor
since the advent Of the new presi-
dent, DR.. IT.. Healing, formerly
editor of the A. NJ. E. Review.
DR.. Healing appeared before the
legislature and outlined the status
and prospects Of the school. He
made pleasing impression and it.
is the understanding here that the
next appropriation will very likely
pc more than double the last one.
President Healing pointed out the
need of new dormitory for the
boys but this recommendation will
hardly be accepted. The general
policy of the State authorities now is
not to erect: any new dormftories I'M!
any Of the State institutions. fl,
The student body Of the Universi-
ty Is increasing rapidly and the signs
are that the enrolment the next
school year. will far exceed that of
any past year. 1t IS an enthusiastic
pody or students and has caught the
spirit Of the new president already.
Or. Healing is one of the most ex-
perienced and enthusiastic school
men IN the country. He was former
ly-president-ef-Paul- Quinn College
and the position he now holds IS not
at all new experience for him.
He Is looking forward with a clear
vision and will not spare himself in
his effort to put Western University
to the very front and keep it there.
All Kansas takes pride in the fact
that the school has been so fortu-
nate as to have man so we'll quail
he'd placed at Its head and great
Things are expected OF the institu-
ton under the direction of DR.. Kea1-
ing.
The president of Western is con-
sldering the Inauguration Of a Sum-
mer school for the teachers of the
state. There is no greater or more
urgent need at present and it would
be a strong asset in the promotion
or education as. we'll as increasing
the efficiency of the teachers Of the
state. II he Institutes the Summer
School, the teachers of Kansas NAV
be favored by having among them
for the summer session some spe-
cialists and experts from the large
public school systems of other states.
DR.. Healing is an athletic enthusi-
asst and looks forward to new DEPART
ures and improvements in this par
ticular. The students will all be
glad Of that. The president is at
present on trip to Nashville, Tus-
kegee and other points Of interest

1t Is this way. Under the Consti-.

the United States has the control of
the election Of Senators and Repre-

ana are IN constant fear lest the re-

When the proposition came before
congress to allow Senators to be
elected by popular vote, those who
had desired the repeal of the Four

TOOK advantage of the chance to in

should be under the control of the
several States, with no right of
supervision by the General Govern

right to exclude Negroes from the
polls. Thus it was that the everlast-
ing Negro bobbed up where he was
not wanted, to make difficulty in
carrying the measure for the popu-
lar election Of Senators.
Fer there are those-and Senators
Root and Lodge are of them-who
think that it is necessary to pre-
serve the central authority, and not
to disintegrate into independent
