Suggests Captain Oyster As the Head
OF Howard University.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
There are many asprants for the
presidency of Howard University. In
former years. before DR.. Thirkfeld was
elected president of that grand old in
stitution, almost any one OF the pres
ent would-be presidents of Howard Uni
versity could fill the bill pretty we'll.
But the trustees of that school are 60
ing to find It TO be a very hard job to
find a man who is big enough 20 wear
the mantle of President Thirkfeld. who
was reCentlv elected a bishop in the
NJ f. Church. Truly Bishop Thirkfeld
had the interests of the colored people
at heart when he took hold Of the work.
Howard University is not what it was
in former years-no. but today 1t might
be called the New Howard University.
II has been made new by the hard and
earnest lsbors of DR.. Thirkfeld.
But who will be elected to the Pres
idenCy of Howard University. is a ques-
tion We dare not venture to answer.
Many are the seekers for the honors.
hut only one will be chosen. Most of
the aspirants-because they are Colored-
claim that DR.. Thirkfeld successor
should be a Colored man. We think diff
erentlY. Because he, the aspirant is a
COlored man is very Door reason why
DIR. Thirkf1elds place should be filled by
him. Any intelligent colored man knows
that a colored president of Howard
University would come far short of get
| ting the required means to run that
| institution. TO elect a colored man Ia
would help that Colored brother indi-
| V;dually. but il certainly would do the
college no good. Such a step would be
| something like appointing certain col
| ored men TO big Federal offices: It helps
the individual negro, but II does the
| race no good whatever.
! For the continued success of Howard

THE CENSUS OF THE VOTERS.

There is timely interest to the statistics which
have just been made public by the Census Bureau
to the number of men of voting age in the United
States 1t is shown that on April Is, 1910, there
were in the continental United States practically
27,000,000 males who had reached their majority,
constituting 294 per cent Of the total population
OF this number 9,O04,422 were living in cities OF
$4,000 population or more. Of the total number OF
males of voting age in the United States proper the
native whites of native parentage amounted to
l3,2ll,73i, while the native whites Of foreign or
mixed parenage amounted to 4,498, ,966. The for.
eisn born whites nauralized amounted to 3035 ,333
foreign born whites, not naturazed, amounted to
36l273; negroes, 2,459, 9,327-all Of twenty-one
years of age.
These figures of special interest in cleo
ton year, and the seventh sons Of seventh sons who
now preparing the dope sheets, will profit by the
above data in making their calculations for the ap-
preaching conflict next fall.

SPEED LAWS AND THE STORK.

Brooklyn police magistrate has held that
physicians, in keeping an urgent appointment with
the stork, not TO be held too strictly to an OBJ
servance of the speed limit and the policeman who
made the arrest was admonished to use discretion in
future. Perhaps the fact that the case arose in
Brooklyn may have had something to do with the
judicial attitude while the presiding magistrate
frankly confessed that he took personal interest in
the matter. He had new boy at his house
The courts of the country will not take judicial
cognizance of the ruling of the Brooklyn magistrate
so physicians privilege to speed through the
Streets even to meet the stork will remain an open
question until it is settled in each individual com
munty. The casuists would have fertile field for
subtle discussion in trying to decide how far the
lives of the adult population could be jeopardzed
in order to welcome little strangers at the other end
Of the scale of longevity And yet the sork in ever,
community has rights which the law itself is bound
to respect.

Nurse Tells How She Gave Service
and Necessaries to the Widow of a
Veteran.

To the Editor OF The TINES:
have read several articles in your
helpful paper for the benefit of widows.
l have been a nurse for over twenty
Ave years. during which time l have
attended all classes of patients, among
them many old veterans and their wild
ows, one just few weeks ago, whom
/ not only nursed for nothing, but also
provided her with the necessaries of
life. 1t occurred to me then as on many
previous occasions. how many of our
Senators or Congressman know how
some of these poor creatures exist. How
many more months-we cannot say
years-will they be allowed to live so
wretchedly?
Many of them before the year is
gone will be with those who would have
provided for them. While they are
here don't let them live on charity.
Many of them die from want, being too
proud to let it be known. Is II not pitt
ful FOR such cases to exist.
How many will read this and agree
with me? Think more about it,

GOING DOWN WITH LORIMER.

The issue of Lorimerism was pressed in the re-
cent Iowa and South Dakota primaries, where two
United States Senators we're asking for Endorsement
of the Republican voters. Kenyon, of Iowa, who was
anti-Lorimer, swept everything before him by the
greatest primary majority ever given candidate in
that State. Gamble, of South Dakota, went down in
defeat because he supported Lorimer, although he
had represented his constituency fairly we'll upon
other issues.

The continuous flood of false and

In the Denver and Pueblo papers

utter falsehoods as have recently

This was the indignant expression
of j. Henry Allen, superintendent of
the Grand Junction schools this
morning when his attention was
called to two stories published in a
recent issue of the Pueblo Chieftain.
The articles originated from the Of
flee of the local morning paper. and
have been going out in this manner
for the past several months.
The clippings, which are repro

citizen today by Pueblo friend. The

The Hartman lines placed an Or
der for 63 locomotives two weeks ago.
Announcement has just been made
in New York that they have ordered
115 additional locomotives, making
the total order 17S. The order calls
for delivery at the earliest possible
date. Hartman officials say that the
outlook for business throughout the
territory which the system serves is
unusually bright. Hartman lines al
so have orders for about 5000 new
freight cars.
The Santa Fe has an order in for
loo cars, and the Frisco lines are
in the market for 800 cars. All the
western roads are sharing in the feel
ing of confidence and are preparing
to take care of the largest crops in
many years.
Further evidence of the feeling of
the railroads regarding the outlook
for business this year is given in the
immense orders being placed with all
steel companies for rails. The Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Company now has
orders ahead sufficient to keep its
mills in constant operation for year.
These orders include rails for the
Denver & Rio Grande. Colorado &
Southern, Southern Pacific and other
western roads. The United States
Steel Corporation now has untitled
orders for all kinds of steel amount
ing to 5,664,SS5 tons, the largest
since December, 1909.
Another evidence of returning
prosperity all over the country is
given in the reports of gross earn
ings of the railroads for the month
of April, as filed with the interstate
commerce commission. Thirty-six of
the large roads which have filed re-
ports show increases aggregating
1747 per cent over April of 1911.
The earnings of some of the western
roads have been cut down consider
ably by the unfavorable weather con-
ditions, but throughout the country
railroad earnings are showing healthy
increases News.
