The Carbon County chronicle. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1924, 1924-10-08
BY RALEIGH F. WILKINSON

TN April, 1864, the writer, with his
two brothers and little sister, to-
Il gether with their parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Z. N. Wilkinson, started
from Brunswick, Missouri, for Cali
fornia. They had team composed
of oxen and COWS which were worked
or driven as the occasion demanded.
The party traversed the Missouri
bottom road from Brunswick to st.
Joseph, where the Missouri river was
crossed in ferry boat.
Once In Kansas the party felt safe
from molestation, while on the Mis-
souri, side in those days, 1t was hard
to foretell what would happen. as
the time was during the latter part
of the Civil war, and the rights of
civilians were not held in high re-
spect. That was the year when
great immigration went west, espec-
tally from Missouri. Thousands went
to Oregon, California and Washing
ton, across the plains, and the late

Bishop Marvin has stated that he

both men and women who had heard
him In Missouri in former years. The
bishop was one Of the most sincere

implicitly in what he preached.

The writer once heard him in Vir-

SOVIET TROOPS TOLD

Third International Points to Ring

MOSCOW. February 23.-"The task
of the red army is not yet accom-
plished; it's struggles are not yet fin
ished." says a statement by the ex-
ecutive committee of the third In

Eanization's anniversary.
1t points out that Russia Is still
surrounded BY "a tight ring of CAPT
talistic states and that at any time
the workers and peasants OF some
other country may seize power in
that country and precipitate a world
wide struggle between capital and
labor.
There was no parade, as on pre-
vious anniversaries of the interna-
tional. The newspapers re rep,ete
with pictures of Leon Trotsky and
cartoons appropriate to the event
from the communist viewpoint.

A MILLION FOR FISK.

The completion of the million-dollar
fund for Fisk University, higher edu-
cational institution for Negroes, at
Nashville, Tenn, is first of all a recog
milton Of more than a half century of
service to the Negro which this institu
ton, established shortly after the Civil
Wra and started by Clinic B. Fish in
army barracks, has given in preparing
colored youth for leadership among
their own people. This new material
support supplementing the recogni
ton of the standards of the university
accorded it by the highest educational
authorities in the country, puts this
university in position to give schol
arly training comparable with the best
in American colleges. But the raising
of this fund has much wider signifi
canoe than the recognition of Fisk Uni
versity. 1t means that there is an awak
ening realization of the ned of thor
oughly equipped professional men and
women to serve and to guide the mass
ed groups who have left their old rural
environment in the cabins Of the Sout !

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.

For good many years seeming
" select student group have enrolled
at this Georgia institution. The crit
icism has been made that only stu
dents of pale face extraction enroll
there, but those who know better,
give a contradictory testimony. AS to
self-appraisement, however, Fisk, or
Howard or Harvard has nothing on
Atlanta. The students are conserva-
tive and aristocratic, to say the least.
Although Atlanta University colors
are crimson Like Harvard's this is
not the cause of the students pride.
1t is the achievements TO her grad

Such alumni as James Weldon

in the Sociological Field. These ac-

MOREHOUSE COLLEGE.

Like lilies in stagnant pond is
Morehouse College in degraded GeOr-

and Atlanta University, like flowers
of nature grow in unwonted places,
are the compensatiOns of an all
thoughtful Providence, who thus
somewhat softens the name of Geor-
gia, the stigmatized laughing stock
of the nation.
Happily Morehouse pride does not
rest upon Georgia prestige. More
house and colleges like it ought to
be appreciated for several reasons.
They work under greater handicaps.
Howard pride was created at the
shrine of the nation within sight of
the capitol dome. WilberfOrce was
builded in the liberal State of Ohio,
Lincoln stands upon the background
of the Quakers, and friendly William
Penn, while MOrehouse students have

of the unfortunate prison birds whom
James Oglethorpe brought, from Eng

know it requires tested tools to
