STATESMEN GREAT AND
AND NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly

WASHINGTON. March 27.-Rep.
Dudley NJ. Hughes Of Georgia, chair
man OF the house committee on edu-
cation, is declared TO be the most
skilled man in all the southland
in the handling Of negro labor. He
has the best understanding of negro
psychology At one time he was at
the head of & Georgia railroad which
was built largely by colored labor
ers. People from miles around came
10 ask Hughes how he got so much
work out OF the men with so little
trouble. They come TO his big plan
tatiOn. where the work is done al
most entirely by colored labor. and
ask the same question.
There is more contentment. less
discord and greater efficiency on the
Hughes place than on any other
farm around 1t is a good deal like
an Old ante-bellum plantation.
Hughes is never called Mistah
Hughes. but Marse bud. His wife
is always addressed as Mis- Mary.
Occasionally Hughes finds it neces-
sary TO tap one of his men sharply
over the head with a club. If he
needs any help in such an enter
prise he can get it from any laborer
on the place. Everybody is for
Marse bud rather than for one Of
their own number.
The reason for all this seems to
be that Hughes tgats all his negroes
as children and encourages them TO
live in a Land of Make Believe. For
instance if he learns that a certain
negro has been stealing. Hughes
never let's the man think he has been
caught in the act, but talks TO him
about a certain dream he has had
in which he saw the guilty fellow
doing the thieving-or how a friend
ly spirit came down the chimney
and told him all about it. A while
ago Hughes forbade any of his men
TO smoke about the barns and ap-
pointed one big negro to be sheriff
of the plantation and see that the
rule was enforced.
And remember" Hughes enjoin-
ed him. this rule goes for every
body, white or black. # You ever
see the president of the United
States smoking about one of the
barns on this place go and nab
him"

HAVE WE BEEN TOO HARD
ON HIM?

est Joseph. Mo-, Gazette.)
Beware of him-he had an ak
to grind"
Thus have we been wont to be
warned against the individual who,
seemingly impressed with our per-
sonal Importance and seeking only
to make himself agreeable, was
quite likely to develop a desire for
getting from us some service bene-
fetal to himself.
We recall the story which gave
the lax to grind" expression to the
world A boy had been pleasantly
greeted by a man. The latter offer
ed to permit the youth to turn a
grindstone, complimenting the
youngster constantly upon the man
ly way in which he tackled the
task. And in the end. the boy
found that the man merely had de-
sired the ak ground.
Beware the man who fiatters
YOU" cried the boy, for he has an
AK TO grind"
Well doubtless it is true. The
hattery may be offered in such form
as to be scarcely discernible for
what il is The man with the AK
to grind may be clever az the task
of getting the work done He ought
10 be; it is an important undertake
ing
And that brings US TO the thought
really in mind. Hasn't the man
with the ak TO grind" been rather
overabused in all the years since the
grindstone-weary boy uttered his
v warming complaint? May not the
man with the AK TO grind" be a
fellow whose cause is worth a less
acute individuals time at the grind
stone?
What a multitude of axes must
be ground in this world. Why,
when you come to think of it. there
are really few undertakings. large or
small. which can be put through
on a straight appeal for support
because of what they are. Think
of the arguments necessary in OBJ

poses. municipal improvements.

mittedly much needed merely for

PROPOSING COLLEGE STUDENTS
FOR ARMY OFFICERS.

The general tendency toward looking upon college
students the best material for army officers, has
been accpted without much question by colleges
themselves It has been asserted that the stu
dent could he qualified for commission with only a
little special training instead the long and arduous
required to MT the ordinary recruit for COM
mand. That ckes the college and the college student
very naturally.
This view found typical expression the other day at
Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland Said
Prest Howe to his students. Of whom con-
templating joining the marine corps of the Ohio
naval militia
"Of course you can you like. but it is
my idea that a college student should be
rolled a commissioned officer In of
war. students who enlist now could only
privates better trained and educated
than the average private. and worthy OF
being officers"
with this the cleveland Leader takes sharp
issue, saying
The undergraduates of DR. Howe's excellent
technical school are no more fit be
missioned officers Of any military organiza-
ton than the students of a theological
seminary be put in charge of coal mines
power plants Army and navy officers
quire special training imperatively lead
In other highly technical pursuits Had
DR. Howe been giving his students military
training all these years-as is done. for
ample. at Ohio State unversity-there might
be some seusbiance of sense i'm his idea that
they are fitted for command.
They could hardly be told anything
false and mischievous than that COLLEGE stu
dents necessarily worthy being officers
Ii Is absolutely untrue that Case students
better trained and educated in military
sense than "the average private"
Perhaps the Leader itself is emphatic. Surely
a scientific training gives a young of the
special knowledge ne will need for proficiency an
army navy offcer-mathematics. for example And
doubt good education of any sort promotes conf
dence in man. giving him groundwork to build on
and habits of mental application that make new
acquisitions easier.
But there in fatteFng the college student,

youth is really slight When it TO com

college is likely e find a worthy competitor in

LOCK STEP, SCHOOLING.

Waterbury. Conn, Republican,
Parents ought to take time to read
over the article which appears in

There is no doubt that thousands
Of children have lost interest in

the first opportunity TO break away

few leaders among the teachers and
educators who have had the fore

Improvement that gave promise of
better results. II seems possible that
some state will adopt the individual

give the rest of the nation the bene-
nit of its experiment, but it also

The next day Hughes purposely
went into the barn smoking a cigar.
The sheriff placed him under ar
rest.
Hughes entered into the spirit Of
the thing and agreed TO stand trial
They had a court made up entire
ly Of negroes and the one who acted
as judge got that honor as a re-
ward for a long period of previous
good behavior. In the end Hughes
was found guilty and fined 3 pounds
Of chewing tobacco.
Thus did he enforce self-govern-
ment among his men. II has long
been one Of Hughes rules that no
matter how ornery or low down one
of his employees may be, or how
much trouble he may get into with
the authorities, he must not go to
chain-gang if paying his fine or any
thing else within the power of
Hughes can prevent. That fact does
much toward reconciling the men to
put up with punishment or penalties
as Hughes himself sees mt to in
flict.
