As an inspiration to the youth Of this
country and those who are interested
In the part which the Negro Is taking
In the higher education 1t would be
pleasing, and useful task If we could
spare the space to chronicle and give
publicity to the careers Of the multi
tude Of self sacrificing and ambitious
colored young men and women who
are fitting themselves in our schools
and universities for the responsibilities
Of life. Sometimes, however. one par
ticular character stands out to prove a
fact, and In such case 1t Is BETTING
that some mention be made Of the in
dividual.
The subject of this sketch, Mr.. Ed
ward Marion Augustus Chandler, was
born in Ocala. Fla, some thirty years
ago. After receiving common and
high school education In his native city
he attended Howard university. where
in June, 1913, he received his A. B. de-
gree. From Howard he went to Clark
university, Worcester, Mass, which In
June, 1914, conferred on him his A. M.
degree. Not satisfied with these hon
ors, he entered the University Of ILL
nois In this year Q01D, where In
short time he gained two fellOwships,
valued at 500, and on the 18th Of June
of this year Q917) received his diploma
as Ph. D. from the hands Of Mr.. F. A.
Vanderlip, the president Of the City
bank of New York, who offlciated at
the commencement exercises.
He Is an honorary member Of several
scientific societies; also the American
Chemical society, the Sigma Xi and
the Phi lambda Upsilon. All Of this
notable record has been achieved
through his unaided personal efforts,
having worked and paid every foot Of
his. way through college to his present
enviabie position among the learned
men Of his race.
Mr.. Chandler Is the eldest Of eight
children. His father WIS lawyer and
at one time state senator Of Florida.
who has also held many federal offices.
His mother, who died in his youth.
was Miss Annie NJ. Onley, sister Of
Dr. d. w. Onley, the we'll known den
tist Of New York city.
Mr.. Chandler has received many fat
tering offers for his services, but is un-
decided where he will locate. 1t may,
however, be safely predicted that when
he does 1t will be the place where he
will be the most needed and that he
will soon be occupying position In
the fore ranks Of the thinkers and
workers for the uplift Of his race.

UP AGAINST REAL THING.

According to all reports, Seattle is not the moral town that prohibitionsts wanted to make of it when they drove the saloons out of business. Conditions are worse there now than they ever were. There may be less drunken sots on the streets and the iail may be empty of that class of men. but crimes committed by real criminals are numerous Much more so than ever before. These criminals are hard to catch while drunken sots make only nuisances of themselves: but can always be attended to.
 Take tho syndicate referred to by General Green which he claims has Q monopoly on crimes; those making up that aggregation, protected, rreseumablv by no less authority than the chief magistrate of the city are not easily apprehended and when rounded up. it is easy for them to free themselves with packed iuries Society is much safer with harmless moneres on the streets than with the vicious high pedegreed dogs.
 It will be remembered that t was the women who raanaged to introduce reforms in Seattle. They frst secured the right to vote then they followed that up with prohibition and with the he?n from the men they carried opt their point. From what we can make out the reign of terror in that city is benc carried on by mon who thrved on the drunken sots Now their means of making livine ct of 4le ter rorizine the women in an endeeEor 10 create feeling tending to repeal that proh l'on act.
