Commencement at Howard University
and Other News Items of interest
From the Capital Of the Nation.

Washington, June President Taft
is growing in favor all over the coun-
try. There is no question about his
denomination and he will be reelected.
It is true that the party isSsplit to a
certain extent, but the breaches will
all be healed within the next twelve
months and a united Republican party
will march to victory next year This
fall the president will take a long
swing through the West and it is very
likely that he will tell of some Of the
great achievements of the present ad-
ministration. President Taft has in
many ways shown himself to be true
friend Of the Afro American and he is
becoming more and more popular
among the thinking men of the race.
This. is commencement week at
Howard University. The report of
President Thirkield, presented at the
annual meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees showed that great progress had
been made during the past year. The
student body has advanced from 500
to 1882. Hon. James C. Napier, Reg
lister of the Treasury was elected a
member of the Board of Trustees
The following faculty appointments
were made:S James S. Thomas, in
structor in German; f. w. Frederick,
director and Instructor in electrical
engineering; R. NJ. Denning, instruc-
tor in mechanical drawing and civil
engineering; Prof. e. E. Just, associ-
ate professor in biology; B. G. Draw
ley, professor Of English language and
literature; Charles S. Syphax, associ-
ate professor in the academy; Judge
Robert H. Terrell, lecturer in the
School of Law
Hon. A. H. Grimke ex-consul of the
United States to Senator Domingo, de-
livered the address to the graduates.
Among other things he said: "The
problem of race restricts the scope of
your employment and you must be
more active and diligent if you wish
to come from the battle of life vic
torious. Life is strife and its law is
that of competition It is a question
of the survival Of the strongest and
the fittest. .s Ss.S
For the first time in the history of
the service, the deficit in the Post
Office Department has been entirely
wiped out. This great achievement is
due to Postmaster General Frank. H.
Hitchcock, who has just signed a war
rant returning to the Secretary Of the
Treasury, $3,000,0OO,e the last of the
amount set apart from the public
funds to assist in paying the expenses.

Confirmation Of the report, that in
addition to admitting to Russia Ameri-
can Jews who go on business the
Russian government is contemplating
the abolition Of the whole system Of
passports, has reached Washington.
The adyices to the State Department
are unofficial but are regarded as &C
curate. This has come as the result
of the continued protests of American
Jews, and points the way for the Afro
Americans who suffer from injustice
and wrongs in the South.
Emphasizing the necessity of 'sget-
ting together former Senator Elmer
J. Burkett made an address before the
National Republican Club. There
isn't any place for Republican except
under the banner Of Republicanisn,
and under that banner we'll conquer

Through a letter to frieds here we
learn that J. W. MeCrory, former
citizen of this county is now visit
ing his Youngest son, Melvin at
Great Falls, Montana. He found
his son and wife well and happy
and likes the climate very much
but notes the rugged surface as COM
pared with the broad plains Of
North Dakota where he visited his
son William prior to going to the
Fasls at Williston. Here he also
visited Leonard Logan and family.
Mrs. Logan had the misfortune to
get into a runaway and was thrown
from the buggy and had an arm
broken. but is recovering slowly. Mr..
Logan is in very poor health, how
ever. being unable to work and at
times unable to care for himself.
The crop there has been poor
owing to drouth but the climate IS
fine and all are comparatively salts
fed and have no thought of return
ing. Mr.. McCrory will return through
Nebraska where he has brother
and sister the latter he has not
seen for number of years.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
We are still in the same town, at
the same occupation and living about
the same pace that we took up
when leaving Plymouth a little more
than a year and half ago. We
have never ceased to miss our Dear
Friends of Plymouth nor do We
ever expect to.
We have found many good people
in Auburn and hope we have made
some friends among them.
We enjoy the good churches,
good schools, the privilege of see
ing constructed. and later OF uSine
beautiful 100000 library which is
just across the street freom us and
the building of it was one continual
pleasure to see, from the removal of
the old sheds which stood on the
ground to the dedicating of the
completed building.
Some very vital happenings have
come into our lives since coming
here. not the least of which was the
marriage of our daughter Mayme. IN
September and by far the largest
and most important of all is the
title of Grandpa and Grandma
which we received so very recently
by little daughter coming to live
with Mayme.
We still love Dear Old Plymouth
and its many shady streets and love
ly homes and truly hope Home Com
ing Week may be one of its hap
piest memories in years to come. and
a week of wholesome pleasure with
out shadow We very much re-
eret that we cannot show it with
the rest of the cold Residents. .
Hurah for Plymouth, may she re-
main ever under tl1e~horse shoe.
