HOWARD STUDENTS GIVE BLOOD II SAVE LIFE IF PROF LESSOR
Boys Cast Lots as to Who Should Make Sacrifice for Beloved Educator,
 Seriously III

With transfusions of blood already given from two student volunteers at Howard college, Prof. S. P. Pull liam, professor of Latin and Greek at Howard, lies critically i'll at the Baptist hospital.
 Six weeks ago Professor Pulliam was taken i'll and was confined at the hospital several days. The college physician announced that Professor Pulliam was suffering from an oh- struction of the stomach. Two weeks ago he suffered a relapse and had to return to the hospital for an opera tien. Saturday the doctors recom- mended a transfusion of blood to save his life.
 Four Volunteers
 It was late Saturday afternoon when Prof. P. P Burns got word to this effect. Howard campus was practically deserted. most all of the students having gone to the football game. Four men were found. These were Jesse |. Edwards. G. C. Jack son. B. c. Coker and Hobart Mayo. Every one of them volunteered their blood for the professor. Only Coker's and Mayos blood proved of the same count as Professor Pull liam's.
 At that time it was believed that only one transfusion would be neces- sary. These two young men insisted that his blood be used. Both were cast and Coker won. Saturday after noon the first transfusion was made. Sunday it became apparent that an other would be necessary if the pro fessor's life was to be saved. Mayo presented himself.
 second Transmission
 Professor Pulliam's condition is still desperate. He revived to some extent after the second transfusion. and major operation was per formed. Since then his condition has been grave but his family reported at o'clock Monday afternoon tha. he was doing as well as could be ex- pected and that he was resting easier.
 Prof P. P. Burns publicly ex- pressed the gratitude of both student body and faculty to the young men who volunteered Neither of the tw C men have suffered the slightest i'll effects from their sacrifice.
 Professor PulIiam has been the teacher of Latin and Greek at How ard college since 1917. Before com ing to Howard he was member of the faculty at the University of Ala bama, having come to the university after twenty-five years continual service at Centre college, George town. Ky.

There Is to be . radical force in American politics-and in tho Senate where you would least expect. That comes of letting the people elect senators instead of corn-fed political bosses appointing them. through their legislatures.
 The radicals will be divided as usual-LaFollete will head his branch. Capper will lead the farm bloc. Borah will roam at large. like a proud western bison. Hiram Johnson, who means to get results, if it can be done in his lifetime. will represent another kind of radicalis sm. And good old organised capital, never dividing, never dreaming dreams nor seeing visions, always identifying at sight the4statesman "open to sound argument" will rule as usual-for the present.
 LaFollette says This Congress will have to begin functioninE for the people," Easy to say, hard to do.
 This state of'things, leads. not only in America but in all large states. to something of the weariness and Encouragement that we associate with the Roman empire. That Is . fact for the new radical force in the Senate to think about. Modern states as opposed to the small city states or ancient Greece or medievaal Italy, leaves little room for initiative and fail to develop in most men any sense of ability to control their po- litical destinies."
