Scholarliness is recognized every
where as a leading factor in the prog
ress of the world. Like the morning
star which heralds the dawn and the
new day, a scholar essentially think
er, is one who masters in his field:
opening UP new vistas, where eventual
" the race and the nation put into prat
tice that which the scholar has dream
ed. He is vitality important in human al
yancement. Hence it is, that the Amerl
can Federation of Negro Students anu
their prominent associates have 1ncluu
ed the scholar as one of toe greatest as
sets to a race.
Indeed, who are now foremost
scholars? We have a galaxy of them in
various fields. Among them are Kelly
Miller, w. S. Scarborough, A Leroy
Locke, Gilbert Haven Jones, Ernest T..
Just, w. E. B. Du Bots and Carter G.
woodson. These men represent the
heights to which our race has climbed
in the intellectual world.
DR.. Gilbert Haven Jones, vice presi-
dent and dean Of WHEREFORE Uniyers-
ity is one of the leading philosophers
and psychologists Of the country. His
scholastic acuteness is attested to by
the fact that Harvard University is
using a reference text,-his treatise on
philosophy written in German, while
obtaining his doctorate degree at Jena
University, Germany.
According to Monroe N Work, in the
Negro Year Book, only forty-seven OF
the race have been elected to the PHI
Beta Kappa Fraternity and twenty-five
have attained Phi. DIS.
DIR. A. Leroy Locke, professor at
Howard University, has achieved both
of these, and is one of the few who has
been Rhodes Scholar at Oxford Uni
yersity, England.
DR.. Kelly Miller, race statesman.
celebrated writer and mathematician of
rare distinction, is one of the few men
who stands out as a peak in both the
literary and scientific field.
DR.. w. S. Scarborough, former prest
dent of Wilberforce University, is one
of the most thorough scholars in Greek
in this country, regardless of race or
color. He is author OF text in Greek
used by Harvard University.
DR. Ernest E. Just is one of the lead
ing biologists of the land. His research
work in the composition Of blood and
kindred subjects has been recognized
by leading scientists of the world He
has made original scientific contribu-
tions and bears the distinction Of be-
ing the only race member of the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
of Science.
DR.. Carter G. Woodson is our rank
ing historian; matchless and thorough
in the field of research.
DR.. W. E. B. Du Bots, editor of The
Crisis, has for two decades been recog-
nized as leader of his particular school
of thought. ,Darkwater," "Soul Of
Black Folk" Atlanta University Stu
dies" are masterpieces. His sociological
treatise, "The Philadelphia Negro"
marks him as a master in this field.
His forceful logic, incisive diction
fearless of expression and his daring
boldness in venturing from the beaten
path, characterizes him as a liou in
the literary arena.
These scholastic qualities and attain
ments make him our Greatest scholar
IL which position he has been placed
as member of tie mythical ten.

FIELD OF LETTERS.

1t will be observed that our best
known and highest developed big men
are those who have labored in the field
of letters. 1t is the literary man who is
longest and easiest remembered It will
also be recalled that those who work
in other fields, no matter how great
and singular their achievement, will
not be equally well known. This does
not effect the fact however, that we as
a race have not produced equally re-
markable characters in other fields,
such as sciences, business and the sew
eral arts. Indeed, in art we have hard
~, except in a few isolated instances,
scratched the exterior.
In the arts and related subjects such
as music. sculpture, painting and dra,
MATES, we have produced certainly
outstanding characters.
Carl DytOn. Harry T. Burleigh, Meta

way, Bert A. Williams, Charles Gilpin
and Ira Aldridge are credits to the race

up their quest of the coyote, the bob

Last Saturday Milton Hunter was

bunch of eight nicely cured coyote
pelts, one big bob cat and two weasels.
He was making application for the
bounty at the sheriff,s office and then
he bundled the pile snugly and ship

these animals during the period be-
tween Nov. Is and Christmas day. IF
he does as well during the rest of the
winter, he will have some spending

Just AS Good Right Here.

Many Of us go to the city now and
then to spen da few days on business
or otherwise and see the sights. Gen
orally, we do not consider our visit
complete until we have attended d
picture show. That s natural. But,
back home, we too often seem to for
get that there is picture show pro-
viding just as good entertainment as
that found in the city. This is an ad-
vantage the movie theatre has brought
to the small town. The same actors,
with the national reputation, in the
same noted plays can be and are seen
here as well as in the great center of
population. The Temple Theatre at
Nezperce carries superior line OF
shows, and you can see them all here
without making an expensive trip to
the city, and certainly there is no
better moral atmosphere about the
show in the city than In your own
home town.

Lazy Husband Gets six Months.

On complaint charging non-sup-
port made by his wife, who was in
bed with a four-daysold baby, Archie
White was arrested at Craigmomnt
last Tuesday by Sheriff Mitchell and
brought to Nezperce and lodged in
Jail. On Wednesday he was taken be-
fore Probate Judge Niles and plead
guilty to the charge of non-support of
his family-a wife and two children,
one four years old and one born last
Friday. His punishment was assessed
at six months in Jail, during the ser
vice of which he will be released to
work at any employment he can find,
and the proceeds of his labor are to
be passed through the sheriff to
Whites family. Failing to find pri-
yate employment he is to be put to
work on the roads.
The conditions found in this case
leading up to the complaint were such
as to cause considerable feeling among
the neighbors, and it was considered
high time to put the Idaho lazy
husband" law into effect in Lewis
county.
