other of the large number Of educa-
tiomal institutions for colOred people In
Tennessee.
Professor Hale came up from the
ranks. having been a teacher for many
years. He has been district school
teacher and high school principal. He
has been institute instructor for cOun-
executive ability, has a knack Of get
ting things done, and this is what has
made for him success.
AS an evidence Of what Is here stat
ed the following words Of the late DR..
Booker T. Washington, the greatest Of
all industrial educators, Is given. He
said, "There is no parallel case to the
great progress Of such school as has
been accomplished by President Hale
in so short time"
The extensive acquaintance Of Presi-
dent Hale with the colored teachers
and leaders throughout the state has
served him exceptionally well In the
organization of what is now conceded
the largest and most successful sum-
mer school for teachers conducted any
where in the entire country, and dur
ing the summer Of 1914 nearly 1000
colored teachers from over the state
were brought to the A. and I. normal to
engage in this work.
1t was by far the largest body Of
teachers ever assembled together in
school session to study modern meth
DDS Of teaching. The summer term Is
Of six weeks duration, and the work
was conducted by President Hale. who
was assisted by the regular normal
faculty, all experts, together with q
number OF special instructors.

knew school work and knew well how
to direct such an institution along all
lines. The school has good, strong
faculty, which works in harmony with
Professor Hale. The teachers are en-
ergetic and make each minute count
Professor Hale has the confidence of
the best people Of both races in the
work of the school, There has been
much stress put on domestic science
the past year, giving this department
high rank in efficiency. At the head
of this department is an expert who
has had the benefit Of practical train
ing as well as of theory in the best
institutions Of the country.
Special attention is paid to agricul-
ture, and the school farm is said to
be one Of the best in the country. The
young men are taking to farming, and
may 1t be said that there are some of
the young women who are making
speciality of agriculture so as to be of
special assistance to their community.
As to Professor Hale, It has been
said many times by numerous compe-
tent judges that the state board Of ed
ucatiOn was extremely fortunate In Sc
curing the services Of man such as
he has proved to be. He is known by
probably more people Of his race en-
gagged in the teaching profession than
any other in Tennessee and personally
liked and admired by them all. He
has been able to interest almost every
schoOlteacher, minister and leader of
the Negro race in the state school.
This interest has never waned, and to-
day 1t is positively fact that more
Negroes throughout the state are d.
rectly in touch with the A. and ]. nor

THE INcoNslDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old fashioned. not
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period of its industrial existence the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party In
1913 came to the relief of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration mot
on account Of the tariff, 1t is true)
was overthrown. Before taking over
the reins Of government, and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity,
veritable contrivance Of devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and 1t was an ele-
vator Of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
ised relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost Of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result Of a tariff for revenue
protective only in spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pealed that iniquity and abomination.
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother Of trusts and high prices
and enacted in its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, of course.
as every head Of family in America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost Of
living is higher than ever-that the
price of everything has reached an un-
heard Of height-but what Of It?
What Of 1t, indeed7 While 1t is true
that a protective tariff never failed
under any circumstances to protect
American industry and American la
Dor, It Is to be considered that the war
in Europe has upset the plans Of the
present low tariff administration.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do Is to give the Demo-
Gratis a chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come, Of course, until the war
Is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words, the tariff
for revenue doctrine doesn't At the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to At the tariff. SO why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss a little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen Of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are "pettifogging?'-Charles-
ton wv, Va.) Mail.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities Of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed In
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak OF the war.
Production had decreased. bust
ness was languishing. new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead Of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the un-
healthy stimulus Of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition Of an energized
Europe?
1t Is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.-
