G. Gambrell Thursday afternoon at 5

STATE BEFORE
COURT.

In his argument before the State
Supreme Court, to establish the con-
stitutionality of ~the.cotton warehouse
act passed by the last legislature, ex-
Senator John l.. McLauren fathom-
ed the cotton question with the skill
and ability of a master pilot. The
argument printed in full in the Sun
day issue of The State is long but in
teresting and should be read by every
thoughtful man i'm the State.
One of the main points that he
makes is that the marketing of the
crop by the farmer, and settlement
with , northern banks by southern
banks come, unfortunately at the
same period, thus depicting southern
banks coin, unfortunately at the
same period, thus depicting southern
financial institutions at q time, when
for moving or holding the cotton
crop they should have their greatest
reserve. y
He shows that alleged overpro-
duction IS not the sole or even the
main depressing cause, for when the
crop was estimated at 14,500,OOO
bales, and money was being called in
by northern banks, cotton vas sell
ling at 8 cts. the pound, whereas now
when the old crop is being set down
at 16, 500, OCOlbales ,!!andimoney SLOW

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

There are many Negro colleges,
throughout the land. that are
known as institutions of higher ed
uCation, and all Of them are doing
good work, and assisting to solve
this race problem. But the one col
lege that stands out distinctly as
the biggest, greatest and best of
the educational institutions of
higher education for Negroes, is
Howard University. Although
there are scores OF industrial in
Stitutions in the country, we only
hear Of Tuskegee and Hampton.
and that IS because these two in
stitutions have so far forged
ahead of all their sister institutions
as to admit Of no comparison.
Just so with Howard University.
There is no other ColOred institu-
ton for higher education that even
nearly compares with it. Wilber-
force. which at one time was the
great Negro university in this
country, has been forced to fall be
hind Howard. There IS no other
institution Of learning in the coun-
try so admirably situated as How
ard, Right here at the Nation 5
Capital where Is centered all its
great public buildings, its incOm-
parable library, and its greatest
statesmen. scientists and pubIicists,
Howard University not only fur
nished unequaled educational OPP
portunities, but unusual inspiration
for the Young Negro who Is striv-
ing to prepare himself to climb the
ladder of fame
From President Thirbield, who
is energy, earnesmess and faith
fuIness itself, down to the humblest
and ilI-paid attaChe OF this great in
stitution there is nothing but earn
est efforts, deep interest, and splen-
did equipment for the work upon
which they are engaged. except i'm
one or two exceptions. 1t Is hoped
IIoWard'S usefulness will never di-
mjnish or her fame become impair
ed. 1t is the pride of the race. and
every indication gives promise that
Howard University will become
one OF the greatest institutions OF
learning in this or any other coun-
try. Our duty is to boost and
boom Howard because Howard Is
boosting the race.
