THE PUBLIC DEFENDER.

The month of May opens with The
Public Defender" a play written by
Judge Mayer Goldman, originator of
the office of Public Defender. When
a poor man is brought before the bars
of Justice accused of a crime, he is
assigned a counsel who is usually an
undeveloped, inexperienced lawyer
just admitted to the bar With no
funds, the accused is unable to prop
erly prepare his defense by securing
the necessary evidence in his behalf.
No evidence, poor counsel-spells con-
viction whether innocent or guilty. Op-
posed to him in the court room is the
entire wealth of the state, represented
by strong capable prosecuting attor-
ney-usually a man who has made a
big success, experienced in prosecu-
ton, unlimited funds for securing
necessary evidence to convict. The Of
flee of Public Defender proposed by
Judge Goldman, of the New York Bar,
is to be kept up by the state and fur
nished with the same resources as the
Prosecuting officer This play illus.
trates the ideas of the Public Defen-
der and is the great force that is on
foot to secure legislation in the var.
ious states to that effect. A strong
play well acted.

The biography of this Missouri boy
who rose from poverty and obscurity
to be a man of nationwide fame, is
one of the most inspiring stories in
our racial life.
He was born of former slave par
ents in Lebanon in the Ozark noun
tains of Southwest Missouri. His par
ents, Adam and Margaret Vernon be-
ing sturdy, Christian characters from
whom he inherited the qualities that
have pushed him forward. His father
an African Methodist preacher died
several years ago and was buried in
Kansas City, Kas., where his mother
now resides He worked his way
through Lincoln and became a teacher
in this state.
He wars then called to the presidency
of Western University, our school at
Quindaro. Through hardships and pri.
vations he wrought there so well that
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
secured from the state of Kansas
splendid buildings were erected, a fine
faculty secured and hundreds of stu.
dents were enrolled from many states
His ability and influence together
with his eloquence made him ma
tional figure and in 1906 President
Roosevelt appointed him Registrar OF
the United States Treasury, where he
served with great credit to himself and
the Race.
From there he went South and be
came President of Campbell College
our church school at Jackson, Miss
His ideals, lectures and constructive
efforts accomplished a permanent good
for the church and race in the South
land. While there he pastored in con
nection with his duties as president.
He then became pastor of Avery
Chapel at Memphis, Tenn, the mos
historic and powerful church organiza
tion of the ninth episcopal district
Here he has broken all records made
in that pastorate for fifty years. His
church is today the one towering con
structive force in that section. He il

Hampton, Va, April 22.-Prof. w. 7,
B. Williams of Tuskegee Institute, in
a recent speech delivered here had
this to say of the public school sys-
tenn of the south and the part it was
playing in the case of the race.
school authorities in the South are
interested in Colored public schools
as they never have been before, and
especially is that true where the
school authorities are young, we'll
trained men themselves. Within the
last five years the Colored people
have put into the building of improv-
ed rural schools, something over half
million dollars, while the public au-
thorities and others have put in more
than that amount. The masses Of our
folks are to be educated and trained
by young men and young women like
yourselves. The two and a quarter
millions of Negroes in the South who
cannot read and write must be educat
ed by Negroes"

WILSON'S MISSILES.
By ona B. Wilson.

Lincoln, Douglass, Columbus and
many others who have contributed to
the advancement of the nations were
not fully appreciated until their bones
lay crumbling back to mother earth.
Did they give advice? Yes, and was
it accepted? Not until there seemed
no other outlet or escape. What some
call success and contributing to the
advancement of the world is not al
ways the real thing. There are people
quiet and unassuming, who go through
this world and do more real work for
the advancement of mankind than a
dozen loud and noisy advertised world
contributionsts. Those who clam sue
cess because of houses and land, pop
ularity have contributed no lasting
elements for advancement. Homes
and riches are all right. For no man
gets near God who has failed to be
energetic enough to supply himself
with-earthly needs, but as these be-
ing the chief asset to human great
ness or the contributing elements to
the worlds advancement or placing
one in the position to give advice is
rot and there's nothing to it. When
you know what you know regardless
of whether your name shows forth on
the pages Of history or your statue
stands forth in some hall of fame or
your voice has Numbered over some
thousands of hearers who knew some
things you spoke wasn't true or that
you split a verb or made Webster
tremble speak out, and in so doing
some one in your talk or advice may
cause some one to act, giving material
advancement to the world.

Funeral Held From Second Baptist
Church.

The funeral of Cicero Samuel Smith
husband of Mrs. Lula Clinkscale
Smith, was held Sunday at 2 p. m,
from the Second Baptist church the
Rev. DR.. Bacote officiating.
Mr.. Smith, a veteran Pullman en-
p1oyee had been ill for many months

of which were represented at the tu-
neral services.
The music was furnished by the
Masonic choir and solos were given
by Mrs. Nora Bennett and Mrs. Sara
Hammett Bartell Among those pres
ent were two officials of the Pullman
Company, one of them being Mr..
Vann, assistant superintendent, who
eulogized the deceased, speaking of
his qualities which had caused the
Company to so highly value his serv-
ices extending over thirty years. Mr.
Clendening, a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce was also present
and spoke feelingly of his friendship
and the fact that on the last trip of
the Commercial Club it developed
that he and Mr.. Smith were the only
survivors of the original Commercial
Club party which twenty-seven years
ago went on an advertising tour with
Mr.. Smith in charge Of the car and
that every subsequent year the de-
ceased had been asked for and had
accompanied the Club.
