Mr.. White takes peculiar interest
in politics. He has always been i'm
bued with the undying principles Of
true democracy. His active espousal
Of the cause In the last two presiden-
tial campaigns was the result Of lOgi-
cal development rather than radical
change from any other political party.
During the last campaign he was one
Of the active instruments In the organ
iZation Of the colored contingent OF the
Woodrow Wilson Democratic league.
This was one Of the most efficient or
ganizations in the state, and 1t was Mr.
Whites good fortune to be its presi-
dent. The party leaders who are press
ing his claims for appointment know
that 1t took monumental courage and
fearlessness for colored man in Phil
adelphia to openly advocate Democrat
ic principles and the election of Dem.
ocratic president.
Besides the Democratic organization
leaders in Pennsylvania and other
states. Mr.. White has received special
Endorsement for the post Of minister to
Haiti from University Of Pennsylva-
MIA forces. among whom are to be
found Provost Edgar F. Smith and
Dean William Draper Lewis of the law
department.
Mr.. White has peculiar accomplish
ments for the position. He is well edu-
Gated. speaks the languages that are
prevalent in Haiti. is lawyer In train
ing. an extensive traveller, an author Of
copyrighted books. an inventor Of pat
ented devices and man Of varied
practical experience.
Suffice II to say that II his friends
succeed in securing his appointment to
this important post the government

tant positions. He is connected with
many enterprises for the advancement
Of his race. He Is one Of the directors
Of the Farmers Improvement bank, To-
Gated at Waco.
He Is the cashier Of the College Bank
and Trust company, Prairie View, han
ding large sums Of money for the COM
munity, students and teachers. In this
connection he Is also agent for the
Wells Fargo Express company and Is
one of the few members Of the race
holding such position of trust.
He is devoted to his CHURCH and is a
lay reader in st. Augustine Episcopal
church, Galveston, Tex. He Is also
connected with the Odd Fellows and
Masons Of the state Of Texas. and is q
life member of the Texas Negro Busi-
ness league, also a life member of the
National Negro Business league.
Among the young people of the state
Professor Rollins is favorite. He be-
lieves In the possibility Of his race, and
Is constantly doing something to en-
courage the young men and women.
No man has ever appealed to him for
help while trying to get an education
and was turned away unaided.
Surrounded by his wife and FIVE chil-
dren, when he is not on duty he spends
his time at home. He shows what q
man with ambition. industry. honesty
and reliability can do in this section of
the country. and that man who has
push and ambition is likely to win sue

which he will publish as feature for
the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom
Of the race
The Rev. Mr.. Holt is a believer in
race ideals and says the aspirations and
achievements Of a people should be
kept constantly in mind.
"The colored people have rich heri-
tage in their own music" says the Rev.
Mr.. Holt. I'm fact, along this and other
lines many members of the race have
too little conception Of what the race
has done and Is doing. All of our ideals
seem to be centered in other races and
their works. The best way, to my
mind, to arouse race pride is to show
results.
"Most all the music used in our
churches was written by another race,
and the ideals are all Of that race
There is no more reason why the mu-
sical compositions of our race should
not be the chief music Of our churches
than that our pastors should be white
men, as many have been. Race pride
may best be cultivated by cherishing
that which is distinctly race produc-
tions, whether in song. story or his
tory"
The Rev. Mr.. Holt Is a native Of Cal
vert county. Md. He was educated at
Zion academy. Anne Arundel county,
Nd. and Morgan college, Baltimore
He Is now pursuing a course Of study
at Howard university in Washington.
He has been a member of the Wash
ington Methodist Episcopal conference
for the past ten years and at one limo
pastored in Baltimore.

and one by one. step by step, they are
going to the front and are making good
use of them. From the institutions Of
Texas some able men and women have
graduated, and the state is recognizing
the ability Of its boys and girls by
pushing them to the front.
Foremost in this is the Prairie View
State Normal and Industrial college in
this town. Among the prominent men
turned out and filling prominent
place right in the institution is Pro-

ample of the possibilities of the young
men Of today.
Professor Rollins was born in Rich
mond, Va, but has spent most of his
life in Texas. He attended the public
schools of Galveston, where he got the
foundation on which he has erected
his manhood.
With good foundation and well pre-
pared he entered the schoOlroom as a
teacher. He taught for five years in
the public schools of Texas and then
was elected to a position in Prairie
View, where he remained for five
years. In this position his ability was

board, 80 that when it was decided to
appoint member Of the race to the

DR.. Samuel G. Mitchell. president of
the University Of South Carolina. in
THE Phases of Progress Toward
Peace" published by the Maryland
Peace society. makes some interesting
statements concerning racial adjust
ment. DR.. Mitchell makes use Of the
following Biblical incident to illustrate
his meaning:
"When the disciples came upon the
man born blind they. in speculative
mood. asked. who did sin. this man
or his parents, that he should be born
blind|-a question typical Of the view
we once took of the presence Of the
African In America.
"Who did sin-the slave catcher, the
slave trader, the planter. the abolition
list or the fire eater-who did sin? How
contrary to the disciples was Jesus
attitude of practical helpfuness toward
the blind man! Neither did this man
sin nor his parents, but that the works
Of God should be made manifest in
him.
"The south Is coming to embrace the
view that the African is not the Achil-
les heel Of American destiny and that
his presence here is not an accident,
but an integral part Of the purpose of
God In bringing that race to share In
the common Inheritance Of mankind.
II so. the south today in its heroic
struggle Is tugging ut task of world
significance.
"This view strings with energy the
arm Of every man who is striving for
a nobler social order here. founded
upon justice and the spirit Of mutual
helpfulness.
"There is no doubt rs to the crucial
nature of this struggle. On st. Hell
ena's island. in South Carolina. there
are 5000 COlorcd and fifty white people.
81 can point you to a single county
In Mississippi which | have known

more. those 5000 white people are con-
gregated chiefly ut the county seat. In
some Of the outlying country districts
there are only five white men to nine
ty-five cOlored. Does any one hold
harder post of duty In Christendom
than these few white people, blood Of

have to officer the labor. to man schools
and churches, to carry on government.
to project social ideals. to furnish initi-
ative in civilization. and to conserve
the gains which 1t has cost millenniums
Of human effort to achieve. and which
we Anglo -SaxOns have inherited?
"If the attempt to enable two peoples
so unlike In color and character as the
Anglo Saxon and the African to live
together on the same soil in the spirit
Of mutual helpfulness. proves to be
the means of developing in both races
such moral qualities as forbearance,
faith in ones fellows. however lowly,
the sense Of human brotherhood and
steadfast loyalty to justice, even In the
case Of the weakest, and an uncOnquer-
able faith in the capacity Of men to
grow under the influence Of light, So
cial order, and right ideals, the effort
Is worth all 1t costs"
