that great edifice to share in the Gel
ebration of the 18th anniversary of
the emancipation.
Every seat in the building was oc-
cupieo, chairs were piaceu along the
aisles for the accommodation of many
and still many were compelled to
stand.
On the platform there were noticed
DIR. ]. A. Kumler, president of the
University, DR.. g. w Hubbard, Dean
of Meharry, Drs. w. E. Gray and
T. H. Elliott, and other members of
the faculty.
The function was presided over by
Mr. S. w. Macklin, of the College De
partment, and the invocation was said
by President Kumler
The University Orchestra was in
attendance, and, under the direction
of Miss Nj. E. Braden, rendered some
very rare and splendid pieces.
The Glee Clubs of the University
and the Meharry Quartette sang to
the great delight of the audience, and
drew forth much applause. In this
eonection special mention must be
made of Mr.. L. Napier Bass, of Me
harry, who, in "Toreador's Love
Song" gave immense pleasure to tbs
audience, and won much praise.
But the special feature of the day
and that which kept the audience
a-thinking was the speech-making BY
students of the several departments
OF the University:
Mr.. S. l.. Brown represented the
Medical Department, and in very
neat and brilliant speech treated on
THE Negro Americas Greatest
Problem"
Mr. ]. d. Wright, of the Pharma
oeutica' Department took as his sub
jet THE Historic Negro" and made
a very excellent Grafton.
Mr.. J. w. Bluford of the Dental
School was heard to advantage on

impressive and his gesticulations &C
curate.
Mr.. J. D. Howell of the College
Preparatory Department on THE
Coming Race" claimed the attention
of the audience for several minutes
and received much applause.
The last Grafton was by Miss Mary
E. Hall of the College of Liberal Arts
who took as her subject "The Negroes
America her graceful manner
her tuneful and resonant voice, AND
her careful accent were special fea

ROOSEVELT AND THE NOMlNA.
TON.

Behind the scenes, two names are
constantly heard where Republicans
of experience are in private confer
nee One is Roosevelt, and the other
is Hughes. The Roosevelt move
ment seems to be gathering force all
over the country. While a Hughes
movement under the circumstances is
not to be expected, there is talk every
where of Justice Hughes as a highly
available dark horse" There has
been a great deal of talk in the news
papers about the intentions" of Mr..
Roosevelt, and whether he is going
to declare himself" or not. Most of
this talk has been instigated for the
purpose of confusing the ordinary
reader Mr. Roosevelt is we'll
known citizen know in private life,
enjoying pert 9ct health and the full
vigor OF a man in his prime. There
is no possible reason why he should
not accept the Republican nomination,
if the party desires to confer it upon
him. He has no machine behind him,
whether local or national. He is not
holding out his hat asking for any
thing; and ii he were seeking the
nomination his very solicitude for it
would be a good reason for refusing
to let him have it. The Presidency
is too responsible an affair to be
sought by any man. But there is at
this moment no prominent man in
either party who is called upon to
, announce that he would not take a
nomination from his own party if civ
en- to him.-From "The Progress OF
the World" in the American Review
of Reviews for January.

Don't Monkey with Pole Cat

1t seems to us that the Washington
Times editorial writer had pretty
good grasp of the situation and the
probabilities when he dictated the fol-
lowing:
Those who wish to see the Democra-
tic party go to pieces will wish Con-
gresham Hull of Tennessee success in
his fight to have $4,000 fourth class
post-masters, now under civil service,
put back on the list of political APP
pointees
Mr. Hull may be entirely correct in
his premise that President Taft played
politics when he filled all the fourth
class misunderstanding with Republic
cans and then gave them life tenure
by putting them under civil service.
But it would be the poorest kind of
politics for the Democrats to rescind
that order and throw $4,000 petit jobs
into the pit to be fought over by a
quarter million two-by -four politicians.
More men will get mad at their par
ty and knife their ticket over a 5000
postoffice fight than over a Cabinet
position. The Lord was good To the
Democratic party when Tai. put &c.,
900 little jobs out of their reach.
But it will be in keeping with the
history of Democracy to fly in the face
of Providence. dig up all these bare
bones and spend the next two years
growing and biting over their possess
sion instead of partaking of the sub
stantial things which have been placed
before them.

Editorial Comment
In Honor Pledged.
lBridgtOn NeMs.(

3bTidStOn NeNS,)
We are very closely following the
comments OF newspaperdom as to
the probable action of the legislature
upon its coming together. and we still
think, as heretofore expressed, as to
the L. S. Senatorship that all hinges
upon the query, lis there honor
among politicians" The primary
preference covers that office as moth
ing else in the catalogue. AS to State
officials, legislative organizations, and
all that, the primary sayeth nothing;
but as to L. 5. Senator, every member
elected upon the Democratic ticket is
in honor bound TO vote for Gardner
just as is every Republican--elected
as such-in honor pledged for Bur
leigh. on the Republican side, the
primaries were fun. free and open,
and at the close of the polls every
body agreed that the question was
settled. 1t is SO now, save as to a
few with real or fancied grievances.
Not many of these are clothed with
official responsibility. happily. and in
the lineup they are not very likely to
count. But we shall soon know the
value of the preferential primary, and
whether the gentleman's agreement"
as to commercial transactions can be
utilized as To the choice of public of
fcials. If either party fails to keep
its pledge we shall know which, and
the record viii surely go to the people.

"A Perfect Lady"
lBangor Now.

tbdnSOr= NeWS.1
A correspondent OF an eastern paper
is much troubled by the present
universal and indiscriminate manner
in which the term lady is applied to
every and any class of the human
feminine"
He complains of lady help and
"lady-typist,' and in the bitterness of
his heart suggests Dust gentlemen
wanted as an advertisement for
street sweepers.
This is an interesting subject that
is frequently discussed in the family
circle, but the correspondent goes at
it with seriousness that reeks with
unconscious humor. And he is so
exacting in his demands that as an
advocate of a great reform he would
repel voters and hurt his noble cause
For he says that lady should be of
certain age, stately, beautiful. VEN
cradle or of high social rank"
Now, no lady wants to be of a Ger
tain age, and all ladies cannot be
stately, beautiful. venerable, intellect
ual. AS standard the combination
would be unfair to some. and if the
combination be dissolved there is no
guaranty of perfect ladyship in its
constituent parts.
We should solve this tremendous
problem by letting 1t take care of it.
self. We are sure, anyway, that the
lady can take care OF herself. She
needs no help no matter how the term
lady may be used. But how about
the Yellowplush who is revealed in
the letter to the editor? He must be
funny little man.

i Ever since the influenza epidemic OF
| infectious catarrhal colds which have
lbeen spoken of as influenza. or grip.
or simply as colds. To these infections
| the infant seems to be especially sus-
lceptible. When one of these colds in
vades a household, several of its mem
bers usually contract it. While some
adults may escape, the baby or the
child Of runabout age is almost inva-
riably affected. These infections
spread rapidly and with great GER
tainty through the wards of institu
tons caring for young children. Dud-
ing recent winters in one institution
the sickness from this source has far
exceeded that from all other infectious
diseases OF childhood. One of the most
important results is its interference
with nutrition. This is of somewhat
less Importance among children of the
runabout age, but in any group of bot
tle-fed infants such infection not only
prevents gain but is, as a rule, accom-
panied by definite loss in weight. We
are too prone to look on these colds as
local affections when they are, in real
ity, infections.
When a group of children in fam
lily becomes infected. we often see es-
tablished a house infection with, at in
tervals, recurrent outbreaks, which
may extend over a number of months,
until the advent of warm weather or
the departure of the family to the
country. This experience is so general
in New York as to be matter of
common report aong parents. Some
susceptible children are kept free only
by continued residence in the country,
but unfortunately suburban colonies
and country towns have their own
share of infectious epidemies.
The amount of injury done young
children each year by such colds can
scarcely be estimated. During the
prevalence of such colds the POSSIBLE
tiles of infection are excellent if the
young child travels by train, rides in
public conveyances or is taken to ho-
tells or crowded shops.

In a total membership of sc this mar

block the progress of legislation through
the rule permitting unlimited debate and
may establish a formidable flibuster.
Thus while the Democratic party Will
nominally be charged with control OF
the Senate, In actual work the RESPONSE
biity will be upon each individual
Democrat. Suppose one or two decide
to defeat legislation that the country

We print in another column the COM
ments of the Lewiston Sun and the
Lisbon Falls Enterprise on the pro-
posed plan of the Progressives to pre-
vent the election of Hon Edwin c.
Burleigh to the United States Senate by
a coalition with the Democrats. To
accomplish this they are said to be
willing to hand over all the State
offices to the Democrats, reserving
only the Senatorship for one of their
leaders. Both papers quoted are ad-
mittedly hostile to Mr.. Burleigh. The
sun is Democratic, the Enterprise Re
publican. with reservations. Viewing
the matter from different standpoints,
The Sun and Enterprise agree as to the
duplicitY and dishonor revealed in the
Progressive's program. In this con-
nection the following plank from the
platform adopted April 10, 1912, by the
Republican State convention is peril
nent.
IL. We pledge allegiance to all Re-
publican nominees at the primaries,
and with united front count with
confidence upon the overthrow of De-
mocraey in Maine.
The object of the primary law, as
proclaimed by its advocates, is to leave
to the people the selection of candi-
dates for public office. In the matter
of United States Senatorship the pri-
mary is Statewide, There were three
Republican candidates. and Mr.. Bur-
leigh was the choice of the Republi-
can voters. and Senator Gardner of
the Democratic voters. 1t only re-
mains for the members of the legisla-

made-the Republicans TO vote for Mr..
Burleigh and the Democrats for Mr..
