WINTER TERM CLOSES, SPRING
TERM OPENS, AT STATE
NORMAL.

The A. and |. State Normal School
for Negroes at Nashville, Prof. w. J..
Hale, president, enters upon it's spring
term. The new term bids fair to be
a most successful one, judging from
the past term and the present outlook.
Registration has already begun and,
apparently, in a few days the enroll.
ment will have exceeded 400. All
parts of the state are represented
among the student body. President
Hale has great hopes and aspirations
for the success of the school and
thinks that the prospect for the fu-
ture is very bright.
The examinations of last week
brought the work up to date in the
various departments. The Academic,
Normal and Industrial departments
enter upon the new term with in
creased momentum. The work in the
Industrial Department has been great
ly reinforced by the installment of
machinery in the Trades Building.
The facilities for work on the farm
have bee increased by the addition
of implements, mules and wagons.
Those students in the Agriculture De-
partment are taking especial interest
in their work on the farm.
On last week the Educational Com
mittee of the State Legislature, Of
which Senator Robt. Fulton is chair
man, visited the school while on it's
inspection tour. The committee COM
plimented to the highest the student
body IN its general appearance, de-
pormnt and excellent condition of the
buildings; placing its stamp of approx
al on the work that President Hale is
doing. All the members of the Com
mittee. which is composed of Sena-
tors Fulton and Elkins, Representa-
tives Miller, Moore, Stone and Win
chester, made excellent speeches to
the student body.
DR.. w. w. Lucas, Educational Sec
rotary Of the M. E. Church, addressed
the students Monday at dinner, tell
ing them to take advantage of the OPP
portunity which the school affords.

WHAT FREE SUGAR WOULD
MEAN.

There is good reason to believe that
the present tariff on sugar can be
considerably reduced without disaster
to any producer who has a right to
be in the business, that is, to any
whose business does not depend abb
solutely upon an exorbitant tariff
rate. For such, being injured, the
community will have little concern.
That some would be injured by a rea-
sonable reduction is quite certain. A
reduction in price must mean some
curtailment of profit, but that involves
"a loss that probably all could recover
by better business methods, by more
efficient system in production. Even
the proponents of free sugar admit
the general disaster to American in
terests that would follow the sue
cess of their efforts. Figures of cost
of production show that under such
conditions most of the cane planters
of Louisiana, and nearly all of the
beet industry, would be wiped out.
Much of the industry in Porto Rico
and in Hawaii would be destroyed and
sales to those islands would be heav-
lily reduced. The Cuban reciprocity
treaty would be annulled and sales
to Cuba greatly cut down. In compe-
tition on equal terms, Cuban sugars
would lose a large but uncertain part
of their market in this country, and
the economic state of the island un-
der such conditions would almost GER
tainly lead to political disorders. The
present revenue to the Government,
from the duty on sugar, is about $780,
100000 a year. If the whole. or any
part of this is taken away, a like sum
must be obtained by some other form
of taxation.
1t Is true that a sum representing at
least a part of the duty is added to
the price of the domestic product, and
that sum goes to the producers OF
cane and beet sugar in the United
States and to the planners in Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, but it
goes to maintain a vast industry and
serves to put the United States on an
Almost absolutely independent footing
in respect to its supply of one of it's
most important foodstuffs. The price
now paid for the benefit received is
exceedingly small.-From Sugar and
the Tariff" by A. G. Robinson, in the

March.

ROLeARIA's REPRESENTATIVE
Ar LONDON.

The members of the London-Balkan
peace conference presented a body OF
men fit to give Europe and the world
fresh confidence in the future Of the
Balkan states. If the war demon
strated their fighting strength, with
all the national uplift and
that implies, the men they sent to
London show that in statecraft they
nave ample resources for the con
structive work of peace. Two men at
least in the Balkan delegations meas
ured up to the highest European
standards. l refer to the Greek
Premier, M. Venezelos, and DR.. Danev.
the head of the Bulgarian mission.
DR.. Danev has the prestige of rem
resenting the foremost Balkan state,
the one that stood the brunt of the
war and won its chief Iaurels. But he
requires no adventitious circumstance
to give him standing among European
statesmen. Entering high public life
less than ten years ago, he has been
successfully Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs, Prime Minister, Professor of In
ternational Law at Sofia, Member of
the Hague Court of Arbitration, and
is now President of the Grand So
branje and largely responsible for the
revision of the constitution carried
out by that assembly. He presided
at the negotiations for an armistice at
Tchatalja and, later, put himself in
close touch with the cabinets Of
Bucharest, Vienna and Paris. He has
thus, perhaps, a more immediate grip
on the whole situation than any other
man in the conference, unless it were
the head of the Turkish mission, the
astute and amiable Reshad Pasha who
has represented the Porte at Sofa,
Bucharest, Vienna and Rome, and
took a leading part in negotiating the
Turoo-Italian Peace at Ouchy-a peace
followed Immediately by the Porte's
declaration of war against the allies.
These two champions measured
swords more than once in the con-
ference. In downright astuteness they
are a well-matched pair. The Bull
garian had the advantage of position
and won every trick. He is an en-
gaging personality, very democratic
and likeable, a practical idealist, n
Balkan statesman and patriot, but a
far-sighted European as well. If u
great federal power is to rise in the
Balkans and give a new balance to
Europe, he is sure to play a yet great
er part in history.-From "The New
Balkan Diplomacy Venezelos and
Danev," by ]. Irving Manatt, in the

DAVID LIVINGsToNE's GEN.
TENAkT.

On the 18th day of the present
month, the entire English-speaking
world will celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of
David Livingstone. It has been truly
said that this Scotch pioneer, traveller,
missionary and Matchmaker, was one
of the few men of English speech
whose m are literally imperisha-
be. 1t was he who inspired the
greatest chapter in the history of the
dark continent. Undoubtedly the civ
ilization of Africa in the western
sense of the word owe more to Da-
yid Livingstone than to any other
man.
Americans claim a larger share in
him than any Europeans-except Eng
lishmen. After Britain has sought in
vain to find him buried deep in the
wilds of Central Africa, it was
Yankee persistence and energy that
penetrated the dense jungle, and made
possible that dramatic scene at Ujiji,
on October Is, 1871, when Stanley,
backed up by the Stars and Stripes,
greeted the weary, heroic old mission
airy, in the brief but impressive, "D".
Livingstone, | presumed"
David Livingstone cyme of a sturdy,
vigorous Scotch stock, Two of his
uncles fought under Wellington in the
Peninsular war against the French in
Spain. The family was characterized
by the hearty, combative vigor of the
Scotch Highlander and c%ovenanter.
Born on March 10, 1918, the second
son in that humble home, David was
nurtured in the strict and narrow bur
lofty ethical influence of the Bible
and Pilgrims Progress" The days
of his boyhood were great ones for
missions. All the land was full OF
the impulse of Christianity's response
to the call of its head, go ye into all
the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature" Young David had O
good scientific education. At Glas
Cow, in 1897, he offered himself to the
London Missionary Society for for
eign service. In November, 1910, he
was ordained in London and the next
month sailed for Africa. He died II

C~offeyville, Kans.-It was recently
brought to light that the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad Company
employ more Negroes than any other
railroads in the United States. It
was stated that more than two hun
dred Negroes were employed as Sec
ton Foremen; whose duty it is to
keep In repair all of the tracks. This
is an important department of the
road, because of the responsibility of
lives. Some of the men have been
in the service Of the Katy Railroad
for more than a quarter Of a century.
These men know the road from A to

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS.

1t should be borne in mind that the
direct electio nof United States Sen
ators by the people has had behind
it an overwhelming public sentiment
for many years. There is no argu-
ment for the direct election of a Gov
ernor which does not apply to the
choice of a United States Senator.
The plan of nominating either Gov
errors or Senators in Statewide pri-
macies may, indeed, have many OBJ
jections urged against it. If the ma
chinery of and conventions
hal not been so shamelessly abused
by professional political manipulators
in alliance with corrupt interests, it
is not likely that there could have
been any prevailing movement for
Statewide primaries as a means Of
selecting party candidates. But al
though a Governor may be nominated
in one way or in another, he must
come before the people for his cleo
