tennessee Politics.

The elections are over, but there
is no sign of a cessation of HOSTILE
ties in the political army of Tennes-
see. We had hoped that by this time
the people could know for a c~entaln-
ty what policy would be pursued by
the incoming state administration,
but as yet we can only hope for the
best. 1t would have been better for
Tennessee to have had an out and
out democratic administration, but
the fusion forces again succeeded in
electing their governor, and now have
the audacity to claim control Of the
legislature. 1t is clear, however, that
both branches of the Assembly will
be democratic, and after the election
of a United States Senator and 6
State Treasurer there seems to be nj
cause for further ~dissention.
Nothing will be definitely known
however, until the General Assembl!
convenes in January. It would be
great thing for Tennessee If the Hon
M. r. Patterson should be elected t
the United States Senate, but oppC
%sition, it seems, develops from da.
to day against him, We are still hoT
ing, however, that good judgment wi
rule and that this brilliant son Of tn
Volunteer State will be elected a SUI
cessor to the late Senator Taylor. N
man more able can be found in tn
state. But if the whines of the Il
surrectionists and the tricks of tn
republicans are allowed to get til
better Of judgement, it may happe
that SOM one will be elected to I'll
Senate who has more greed for Off
than interest of the state. But II
election of a United States Senate
and a State Treasurer is not all thi

do. There are other matters Of Iu
as great Importance. And it is

is the greatest teacher. But if the
Negroes themselves conclude that they
will never be competent to ill such
positions, then We must admit that
we are inferior to all races OF the
earth and must forever be drawers
of water and hewers of wood.
But the %stereotyped assertion that
the time is not yet ripe will not hold.
1t is a frivolous reason, and in fact,
Is no reason at all. 1t is a weak
ness that we must overcome.
We are asked to name one school
owned and controlled by white PEG,
pie and has Negro president. Wiley
University at Marshall, Texas, is
owned and controued by white peo-
pie, and DR., M. w. Dogan is presi-
dent and he has every semblance of
being a Negro. This institution is
prospecting, and is recognized by the
Board of Education Of that state,
and it is so recognized because Of
the rigid requirements of the Negro
president. We are not in a position
to compare Wiley and Fisk in detail,
but the two institutions are run un-
der conditions very similar. There
are others but DR.. Jones will be salts.
fed with one.
We submit that there Is race pref.
udice in this country. We know, fur.
Their, that this prejudice turks in the
breasts of people of all races. But
we believe there are now and always
have been men in this country able
to rise above their prejudices and do
what they believe to be for the best
interest of the people. We believe
that the trustees of Fisk University
are that type of men, 1t would be alb
surd to suppose they would elect a
Negro president Of Fisk because some
one should say so, but if they are
convinced that it is the best thing tC
do, we believe they would do so with
out a moments hesitancy. This mat
ter cannot be settled by mere expires
sion of opinions as DR.. Jones say,
he only meant TO do. Facts in tn,
case are what must be presented. 1
the Negroes of this country believ,
Fisk University will be benefited b!
the election of a Negro presiden
they should say so, and give the rea
SON why they have such a belief.

Nearo PresIdents Of coIIeqe.

In our last issue there appeared a
communication from that forceful
writer, DR.. j. A, Jones, on the sub
ject: Presidents Of Negro Colleges"
By careful reading of this communi-
cation it will be seen that after boil
ing DR.. Jones' sayings down to the
final analysis he bases his contention
on the ground that so many have ad-
vanced, viz, that the time is not ripe
for a Negro to be elected president
OF Fisk University. We felt salts
fled in the outset that when DR.. Jones
was forced to show his hand this
would be his main objection to a Ne
gro president-"It is not time" He
admits, however, that the contention
of the Globe is right and says he IA
lvors a Negro for president and would
give his sanction if the time were op-
perfume.
We wonder what there is about
Fisk University that makes Negroes
believe that this institution will &c
TO pieces if entrusted to the car OF
Negroes? 1t cannot be that all Ne
groes have failed as presidents of col
leges; for some of our largest and
most successful institutions of learn
ing are guided by minds Of black
men.
We submit that there are few Of oul
schools that rank as first-class uni
versities. We remember very dis
tinctly the contention of DR.. Dogan
president of Wiley University, whel
discussing our colleges and universe
ties, takes the race to task for clam
oring for so much name and so littl
ability. We look to Fisk for tn
best that is to be had in the Soutl
in higher education for Negroes
Granting this to be true, we do nc
see that this should be a barrier to
, Negro occupying the position G
: president. And we do not believ
: that the white people of the Nortl
8 who have given to Fisk Universit
3 all these years, and who are givin
now, are as p~rejudiced as DR.. Jont

Universal Peace.

Since the establishment of the
Hague there have been some who felt
that the dawn of peace had arrived.
There were many others who have
always been skeptical along this line,
and they are now crying aloud that
there will be no universal peace as
lon gas there is rivalry between ma.
lions.
But upon second thought it should
be clear that universal peace cannot
be attained in a day. Wars may con,
tinue for centuries; on the other hand
the conflict that is raging in the
East now may be determined in such
a way as to satisfy all from the stand
point of conquest and victory. 1t may
be that the war in the East is that
darkest hour before day." and after
which a reign Of peace may set in
and continue for all time to come.

choice of a consort, the young queen IT, formed Lord Melbourne that she had made up her mind to marry dearest Al bert" The suspicious occasion for the proposal arrived when the Prince came to make visit. How 1t was done the Queen tells in the entry in her diary under date of October 15, 1899.
 At about half-past P I sent for Albert He came to the closet where was alone and after a few minutes I said to Tim that I thought he must be aware why wished him to come here, and that 1t world makqe me too happy if he would consent to what wished--to marry me- We embraced each other and he was so kind end affectionate"
 How completely the queen assumed the masculine role of wooer is shown by her statement that "I told him was quite unworthy of him" and that it was a great saorifice' which the gallant prince would not allow"
 Was ever royal husband in this humor wooed? The exercise of the monarch's s rrerogative was tactfully effected without sacrifice of the maiden's modesty, and the incident. by the light it throws on the feminine nature of Queen Victoria, helps to account for the deep affection in which her subjects held her

EVERY INCH A KING

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 The conduct of King Alfonso, who mo- tored to the scene of the tragedy with out an escort when he learned that Pre- mier canalejas had been assassinated was characteristic of a young monarch who has never finched under fire, and who has. upon sundry occasions, proven himself every inch a King
 Very probably Alfonso will die in his boots at the hands of crack brained anarchist. but he will not be frightened victim. When the young King was re- turning to the royal palace in Madrid with, his English bride a bomb thrown at his carriage killed several persons near the equipage and wounded two of the horses, but the King showed no signs of fear. In Paris upon one occasion he was a target for bomb thrower when he was on his way to the races. Although but narrowly missed he showed no signs of alarm and when the hubbub subsided he continued his conversation, and his jour ney to the race track, unmoved by the in cident.
 Kings are not of much use in the world, but those who show the grit that Alfonso has shown may sometimes be decidedly ornamental. If the King of Spain goes to join his murdered neigh bor, the late Dom Carlos of Portugal. in the long list of crowned heads whose fate has proven that no divinity hedges about the lives of kings, his murder will be regretted by everyone who has a truly democratic love of square deal and a sportsman's appreciation of man of sporting blood

there will be but Constantinople and Scutari left to the Turks, and the Montenegrins are besieging Scutari, and General savoff is assailing the Tahaltalja line, the last line of de- fense of Turkey in Europe. The booming of General Savoff's guns is heard in Constantinople, and if that line is broken, the Turk will no longer have home in Europe.
 The powers seem to be willing to let the allies settle their own affairs in their own way. May they continue to mind their own business and to let the Balkan states go on until a Turkey in Europe becomes piece of history only.

REMARKABLE WAR

From the Boston Evening Transcript
 The Balkan war. as we now call it. is remarkable for the rapidity with which it has been conducted from start to vic tory True. the end Is not yet, but 1t Is plainly foreshadowed. Turkey is now fighting only for delay, for the determi- nation of the contest can not be affected by shots fired ''for the honor of the flag" It is not yet month since Mon tenegro declared war against Turkey, and officially. peace between the Sultan. Bull garia. servia and Greece was maintained until October IT. The war. therefore. in it's large. decisive aspect has been in prog ress less than three weeks. Turkey has been overcome more quickly than any other nation which has undergone defeat in our time France fought Germany for nearly seven months; while year and a half elapsed between Japan's attack on Russia and the peace of Portsmouth. The hostilities which drove Austria out of Germany in 1866 are known as the tsix weeks war," and the celerity of the Prussian victory was wonder for years The record" however, is to be found more than 100 years back in the cam paign of 1sOs, when Napoleon in eight days after the firing if the first shot smashed the Prussian army at Jena and Auerstadt, and was in possession of Berlin in less than two. weeks after these victories. i.

 In Poland, the greatest holiday of the year is Christmas Eve, and it is a joy ous day to all the children.
 About a week before, we gather in the sitting room. and, seated before a merry fire. make different pretty things.
 That night father comes home with packages full of colored paper, nuts, ap- ples and oranges.
 In a second we surround him, and each takes some of these materials to make baskets. chains or to gild the nuts.
 All this time the parlor is closed, and, as the days are nearing, great excitement reigns among us, while parents decorate the tree and lay the present around.
 At last the great day arrives; then everybody is in hustle. Mother directs the setting of the table, children fly around to get ready and the family gathers at twilight.
 We wait for the apeparance of the first star, and then walk into the dining room.
 The table is richly laid with candles and silver. looking unusually pretty
 Under the table cloth we lay some hay, in memory of Jesus being born In a manager.
 After having partaken of a wafer blessed in churchq we begin supper, which consists of soup various fish courses and dessert
 Finally. father goes to light the candles on the tree, the music starts a carol and we march in. A
 We circle around the tree, singing the carol, after which we unfold our presents
 Suddenly the door opens and some peas- ants enter, bringing little theatre. like Punch and July. and make the dolls. dressed in national costumes, act pretty scenes, and sng national songs.
 Before we know it it is 10 o'clock, and our parents send us off to bed.
 We say good night, and, rather tired out by this exciting day, we go to dream land, to dream of the day and to live over it's pleasant scenes.

Alabama's Official Vote

The vote of the state canot be stated in totals because Lamar county has not sent returns to the secretary of state. Without that county the total vote stands at 116,S32, as against 1O3 .869 in 1908. The Taft vote in 1908 was 25,30S, while the Taft Roosevelt vote of this year stands at 32.176. The Bryan vote in 1908 was 74,374, and the Wilson vote this year was S1 ,622 with Lamar county to be heard from. The Roosevelt strength was drawn in part from an increased vote, and not from the democratic party.
 The vote on the anti-fee amendment was 61, 1,417 yeas and 15,886 nays. The vote of Lamar county is to be added. The counties of DeKalb, Jackson and Fayette voted against the proposition. It would be difficult indeed to ac- count for the action of the three coun- ties. The vote in DeKalb was about two to one against the amendment, being 627 for it and 1859 against it. Fort Payne is the county seat of De- Ixalb, and daily trains keep it in touch ! with this city. The vote in the three counties on the anti-fee amendment stands unexplained.

cowNs Ar rHE opERA

From the New Nork world.
 Monday night it was the gowns and the opera. Saturday night it will be the gowns and the horses. From the horse shoe of the Metropolitan to the horse show in Madison Square Garden it is the same story. Song or sport, art or athletics, feminine finery holds first place.
 That new soprano should open the season with Caruso is of minor interest. That in "the scintillating display of ele- gant costumes and jewels the first night rivalled all previous social spectacles of the kind is of supreme moment What the house applauds is of far less impor- tance than what the parterre circle wears. The same singers may be seen many times, but never again the same robes and same diamonds.
 Upon the ladies rests a grave respon- sibility. If they were to slight the oc- casion and appear in less splendid attire. what would "Manon Lescaut.' with the 1irest cast in the world, amount to? If they were not to grace the boxes at Mad ison Square Garden in the glory of fine raiment, how long before the horse show would be abandoned?
 Man is powerless in such matters. He may plan and arrange, and spend money by millions and gather in multitudes. and exhibit and ride and drive, and do all that his humble part demands in such clothes as custom permits, but the future hes in tie flair palms of tho ladies So long as with the unfiagging courage of tEeir sex they discharge their duties to society and their dressmakers. music shall not perish from the earth and the thor oughbred shall not be doomed to extinc- fian
