MISS PHYLLIS WHEATLEY
OFFERED GLASS IN
HOWARD
(Special' to Blade)

Washington. Feb. IS. - Miss
Phyllis Wheatley. formerly Mil
waukee, Wis, has been appointed
as an instructor Of French in
Howard University She was re
commended for the position by
Prof. Il. B. Moore, Dean, Teach
ers' College; Senator Sutherland,
West Virginia; Judge w. Atkin-
son, and others. AS a product Of
the University Ann Arbor, Mich.
(class 1910 she is the only mem
ber OF the race to graduate with
high class and scholastic honors
and to win letters in athletics,
and served several terms as cap
tain Of the Basket Ball team.
Miss Waters has declined the ap-
pointment at Howard University,
as she was chosen principal of the
High School in Gary, w. Va,
when it was opened. She is the
daughter of Col. and Mrs. Phil.
Waters, Charleston, W. Va. Her
father, a leading politician, is
clerk in the Supreme Court Of
Appeals at the State Capitol, W.
Va.
Miss Waters is only one Of the
intelligent young women Of her
race who are reaching these high
literary attitudes, however she
deserves special commendation
for putting her education to use
for the public. We have some
girls and boys who are qualified,
but have no aspiration for serv-
ice; therefore their accomplish
ments are not as commendable as
these Of persons who aspire to
beneficial service.

Comp. II, 365. Inf, Camp Grant,
spoke to large audience at the
Ebenezer Baptist Church, 35th

recently. There wasn't standing
room in that large church. In
his Introductory remarks he
said, eve are with the admin
istration in prosecuting the war
policies to bring victory and hon
or to Old Glory, and making the
world safe for democracy. Our
loyalty need not be called into
question nor doubted, notwith-
standing the fact that for fully
generation American statesman
ship has striven to evade, ignore,
or forget the perpleXing race
problems, which break forth ever
and anon with veSuvian violence.
We know when those fearless
sons Of the imperial government
of Germany marched through the
streets and passed out of the
Brandenburg Gates at Berlin on
their way to conquer the world
that all nations and races had to
help to pay the price in blood and
lives to capture that fureous lion
which had been turned loose.
We are going to pay ours like
man." lie preached an excellent

Many Troubles Come
To Attorney General

The Attorney generals office might
well be elassed as the trouble depart
ment Of the state. The county officials
pass their troubles up to the district
attorneys, and these when a knot gets
tied hard and the ends Of the string
hidden, pass it up to Attorney Gener-
al Brown. 1t is the same with the state
Officers who look to him TO untangle
all the snarls of their official business
He is a standing invitation to "pass
the buck and might well have adopt
ed that as his slogan in the coming
election. Secretary Of State Oleott
passed him one today which is a fair
sample of the daily tangle. The law
requires that the county clerks shall
compare the signatures of names sign
ed to initiative petitions with the reg
istration books, cards, and blanks on
file in his office, and shall attach to
the sheets of said petition containing
such signatures his certificate to the
secretary Of state, giving the form in
which this shall be done. This sounds
simple enough, but it has its dips,
spurs and angles as an old miner would
say. For instance: what will a poor
clerk do when the petition contains
the name of j. Smith when on the reg
istration books the only name like
that is John Smith. Shall the county
clerk jump at the conclusion that J
and John are the same persona Again
a married woman may be registered
under her own name but may sign =
petition with the initials Of her hus-
band as Mrs, John or J., Smith for in
stance. These and hundreds of other
questions are the daily menu in the
attorney generals office and just
when it seems that the whole list OF
possible questions had been ettled
something sentirely new hobs up.
