For the exceptional man there must
always be the opportunity to rise just
as far as his genius will carry him; In
the second place, If a great mass Of
people is to be uplifted, they must
have leaders OF their own fitted to
command because Of their intellectual
powers and their specially advanced
training. They must have intelligent
and well-taught clergymen, teachers,
physicians and lawyers. to say moth
ing of the other professions and of
the need of skilled insurance company
managers, bankers, etc. These are not
often to be obtained from the common
schools, particularly If these schools
are mere ~pretenses, not schools, as are
so many in the southern states. This
need has recently been well expressed
in the first report Of the general edu-
cation board, where it is pointed out
that If primary and secondary Negro
schools are to have good teachers,
principals and supervisors, provision
must be made for the higher training
of these instructors and supervisors"
At the same time the report points out
that the mere attempt to deliver the
traditional college curriculum to the
Negro does not constitute a higher edu.
cation" and urges the establishment
of college curricula which shall be
adapted from time to time to the
needs, environment, and capacity of
the Negro student. With this we are
in the main heartily agreed, and in so
far as the opposition to the higher ed
ucation of the Negro is based on a be-
lief that subjects are taught him which
can have no practical value for him,
this program would properly meet the
objection.
For the exceptional man of Pro-
lessor Just's type no one ought, how
ever, to fence in any field OF learn
ing. He should be free to roam
wherever he will in our choicest ed
ucational pastures. Anything else
would spell folly and, what is worse,
a gross national injustice which would
merely have to be stated to carry it's
own condemnation. Whenever oppo-
sition to throwing open the doors of
u educational institutions is based
merely on color prejudice and a be-
lief in another persons alleged inferi-
ority, it most be attacked without a
moments delay. Professor Just and
his peers of his race are the most eff
fective answer to those who would go
back to the educational dark ages

TO TURN DOWN WILSON'S PLAN
House Democrats Opposed to Taxing
Internal Combustion Engines, In
General Use on Farms.

Washington, Dec. 24.-House Demo
Gratis have decided to fling by the board
one of President Wilson'S suggestions
for raising revenue. 1t is his Stenta-
tive plan for taxing internal combus-
ton engines, now an institution on
farms throughout the country.
Congress began to hear from ''the
country" just as soon as the Presi-
dents message was printed. Every
farmer who owned a gasoline engine
with which he operated his fodder
cutter, his separator, his churn, or
pump, was up in arms. The response
to the Presidents suggestion was so
instantaneous and vigorously mega
ive-particularly from the farmer, in
addition to the expected howl from
the automobilist, that the administra-
ton leaders in Congress decided it
was political expediency to drop the
proposed tax plan at once.
Congressional leaders, with an eye
on the farmers vote next year, as well
as the votes of automobiles, decided
it would be better to shelve the en-
CINE tax. Another factor in the de-
cision, it was understood, is the wide
spread use Of automobiles as farm We
hicles.

trail Powers Held.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Great Britain
has suspended the issuance of per-
mits for shipments of hospital sup
plies of any description from the Unit
ed States to Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey. When this

was learned that the state depart
ment at the instance of the American
Red Cross, had made representations
to the London foreign office seeking
withdrawal or modification of the new
order. ..-
Rubber Articles Exempted.
Until recently the English govern
ment and it's Allies exempted from
the blockade orders in council practic-
ally all hospital supplies, except rub
Der goods, such as gloves, worn by
surgeons and nurses, blankets, tub
ing, etc.
Efforts to secure admission of the
rubber articles were unsuccessful, the
British official explaining that to per-
nit them to go into enemy territory
would release corresponding amount
of rubber for the manufacture of au-
tomobile tires and other military
necessities. ..a.
All Supplies Prohibited.
Now the prohibition has been ex-
tended to all supplies and large con-
signments collected for Red Cross for
shipment to the Central Powers are
being held in storage.
This situation will be considered at
the meeting of tho executive COM
mittee of the Red Cross in New York
shortly.

Lansing Holds Details Of Sinking OF
Ancona and Number Of Americans
Killed Are Not Essential Mat
tiers of Discussion.

Washington. Dec. 22-"The Secre-
tary of State to Ambassador Pentield.
Department of State, Washington,
December 10, 1915.
You are instructed to address .
note to the Austro-Hungarian minister
of foreign affairs, textually as follows:
1.-The government OF the United
States has received the note OF your
excellency relative to the sinking OF
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on December Is. 1915. and
transmitted to Washington, and has
given the note immediate and careful
consideration.
Ion November Is, 1915, Baron
Zwiedenek, the charge daffaires Of
the imperial and royal government at
Washington, transmitted to the de-
partment Of state report OF the Aus
tro-Hungarian admiralty with regard
to the sinking Of the steamship An
coma, in which it was admitted that
the vessel was torpedoed after her
engines had been stopped and when
passengers were still on board.
This admission alone is, in the
view of the government Of the United
States, sufficient to fix upon the com
mander of the submarine which fired
the torpedo the responsibility for hav-
ing willfully violated the recognized
law of nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles which ev
cry belligerent should observe in the
conduct of war at sea. In view OF
these admitted circumstances, the
government of the United States feels
justified in holding that the details OF
the sinking of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional testi.
mony corroborating the admiralty's
report, and the number OF Americans
killed or injured are in no way essen
tial matters Of discussion. The culpa,
bility of the commander is in any case
established, and the undisputed fact
is that citizens of the United States
were killed, injured or put in jeopardy
by his laWless act.
Principles Of Humanity Violated.
Y 1.-The rules Of international law
and the principles Of humanity which
were thus wilfully violated by the
commander of the submarine, have
been so long and so universally recog.
nized, and are SO manifest from the
standpoint of right and justice that
the government of the United Sta es
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that
the imperial and royal government
questions or disputes them.
1.-The government of the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act of its naval commander, and
to renew the definite but respectful
demands made in it's communication
of the sixth of December, 1915. 1t sim
cerely hopes that the foregoing state
ment of it's position will enable the
imperial and royal government to per-
ceive the justice Of these demands
and to comply with them In the same
spirit of frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations now
existing between the United States
and Austria-Hungary which prompted
the government OF the United States
to make them.
