 Negroes to Be Assessors.
 He advocates the assessment of the 3al estate in Arkansas by the jus tices Of the peace in each township, which he says will make everybody ! assess their property. It is well known 1 nat there are one hundred and fifty ] nesso justices of the peace in South and East Arkansas. 1 know that the l people in those sections are not for 1 that plan, and that the white voters l of the other parts of Arkansas will not force it upon their neiGhbors in that part of the Stats I am not in fa- vor of any new offices, but it might be we'll to employ some additional collec- tors in Washington County\to help collect the poll tax from Professor Brough. We should net be surprised that the professor advocates negro as>t l sessors, as it is in line with hts speech made in behalf of the negro ! race Tn Washington, D.

He tries to compare himself with Wood, row Wilson twhat a shameD. He is due the president an apology. If he did go to school to Wilson, Wilson couldn't help it: however, the facts are that he did not go to school to President Wilson, but was in another university where Wilson occasionally | lectured. Woodrow Wilson was presi- | dent of one of the greatest universities or America for many years, but Dr. | Brough has never been mentioned, nor even thought Of, by any of the univer- l sity boards as being qualified for the position or president of the University . l of Arkansas
