HOWARD IS ILL.

With high temperature and rapid pulse,
of pair and sickness. Specialists have been
called in and Howard alumni have proffered
their curatives, but the big school which has
so long been a heaven of knowledge for Ne
gro youth, is the victim of an epidemic OF
dissension and unrest, the final effects of which
may leave wounds for time and tolerance 10
heal!e The student strike which seems to
have been won by the protestants has appar-
emily innoculated other Howard elements with
a feeling of restiveness, and internal and ex-
ternal groups, perhaps sincere and perhaps
otherwise, have filled the university organiza-
ton with educational antidotes-mostly pail
full ones.
We have no arguments to advance which
involve the Howard organization in detail.
We do not know who ought to be at Howard,
or what man, woman or child should be hired
or fired in order to return Howard to the
educational vigor which the University at one
time enjoyed. However, there are those
essential facts concerning Howard, which we
do know. CD Howard was created primarily
for the higher education of Negro youth. and
as such its past history is enviable in the an
nails of Negro education; (2) Howard is a
~quasi-public institution in that funds from the
public treasury are appropriated yearly by the
Peoples representatives in Congress for the
maintenance of the school; and )3) Howard
is an eyesore to many members of Congress,
who believe that higher education for the Ne
gro should by no means be fostered and pre-
served.
1t follows that the dissension and strife now
present on Howard hilltop are spectacles hap
PLY observed by 81 told YOU so" enemies Of
Howard, who may. during the coming year
have a say in the dispensation of public funds.
The days of President Wilbur Thirkield
should be hastily recalled as exemplary days
at Howard, when peace, harmony and unity
made Howard what it was yesterday. The
education of Negro Youth should be the par
amount item for consideration bv Towards
we'll wishers, and the cooperation of the pub
lie should be courted rather than jeopardized
by all who would see Howard rise to the

THE NEGRO PRESS.

The increasing power Of influence OF the
Negro press is nothing short of marvellous.
and the ~alcrtness of Negro editors, who fill
their editorial pages with a plain talk concern
ing current events marks a new day in the
moulding of public opinion among the Ne
sroes of America. No longer are newspaper
galleys filled with mere words. Quite to the
contrary, they are laden with modern opinion
builded by an honest straightforward analysis
of everyday affairs-affairs of vital Importance
to the hundreds of thousands of Negro read
ers who 'vesarn. for the truth and are skeptical
of the propaganda so widely dispensed in past
years by a large percentage of the white pa
pers and periodicals. The results of the
wide-awake attitude of the Negro press are
becoming more and more noticeable, as read
els and their associates calmly absorb the
opinion of Negro editors.
The day of fooling all the Negroes all the
time has become Medieval, as thoughtful Sub
scribers of the Negro press become informed
of wages, employment, legislation history
statistics, education, health and dozens of kin
bred topics of everyday effect upon Negro life
in America. 1t is almost safe to assume that
the philosophy of reason which accompanies
the effectiveness of Negro journalism IS
stronger than that of racial group contempor-
aries of the colored people, who are wonder
ing just how much of the real truths of life
the latter are absorbing through the means Of
printers ink.
1t follows then that the Negro press is
.,,lping the Negro to outgrow the skein OF
bought which a great part of the white world
mas so long thrown about the former, and that
parallellism of opinion must ultimately emerge
from the journalistic evolution which is now

REFRESHING HOPES

And now m Senator Royal S. Cope
land, of New York and for a plea doth say
that sectional, occupationalr and reiigious,dif-
~ferences of the Democratic, Party" must be
thrown upon the scrap pile of disuse. Eureka!
And the rose would have been as sweet by
any other name, We think. Nevertheless, the
Senator's hopes are encouraging, and if they
are materialized, there'll be- peace on Garth
and good will toward men.
Geography cresds and skin tints have
welded so much power through all the ages
that we wonder, at times if the new c%iviiza-
ton has so very much on the old. Racial
differences trickle through all the elements
named by the good Senator, and if sections,
occupations and religions can mend their va
frances and smoke the pipe of peace in ali
sincerity, then racial differences will 60 along
to the scrap heap with all the baneful differ
ences named by Senator Copeland. The task
of course, depicted by the Senator is a super
human one and it will be necessary, first Of
all, for him to secure the hearty cooperation
of his confreres below the Mason and Dixon
line, where the church south is alienated from
the church north where history begins with
the Battle of Gettysburg; and where occupa-
tons frequently suffer from the intervention
of practices which challenge law, order and
Christianity.
There's virtue, though even in a hope; and
there can be contamination of that hope if the
good old preamble of the U. S. Constitution
can be stamped into the minds of all wh>
claim the right to its inspiration and the bene
fit of its protection.

going on through the heroic endeavors of the
Negro press. The facts must be faced AMI
all people must realize that American Negroes
are thinking in terms Of modernism-not
heated modernism, but safe, sane modernism
dealing with the naked truth and seeing it just
as the rest of the modern world, white, yellow
brown and red see it. The transition is to be
commended by all honest people, who should

ETERNAL JUSTICE,
(By Charles Mackay)

AA>A ~ ~ Nv
(Byy Charles Mackay)
The man is thought a knave or fool,
Or bigo1 plotting crime,
Who. for the advancement of his race,
Is wiser than his time.
For him the hemlock shall distiI,
For him the axe be barred; -
For him, the gibbet shall be built;
For him the stake prepared.
Him shall the scorn and wrath of men
Pursue with deadly aim; H..
And malice. envy, spite and lies,
Shall desecrate his name. tx
But truth shall conquer at the last,
For round and round we run,
And ever the right comes uppermost
And evel is justice done.
Pace through thy cell, old Socrates
Cheerily to and fro; IL
Trus. to the Impulse of thy soul a.
And let the poison flow. Il
Thev may shatter to earth the lamp of clay
That holds a light divine. J.
But they cannot quench the power Of thought
By any such deadly wine. i
They cannot blot thy spoken words
From the memory of man. i.
By all the poison ever was brewed .
Since time its course began.
Today, abhorred; tomorrow adored.
So round and round we run.
And ever the truth comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.
u
Plod in thy cave, gray Anchorite;
Be wiser than thy peers;
Augment the range OF human power,
And trust to coming years.
They NAV call thee wizard and monk accused.
And load thee with dispraise;
Thou vert born FIVE hundred years too soon
For the comfort of thy days.
But not too soon for human kind;
Time hath reward in store; r.
And the demons of our sires>become
The saints that we adore.
The blind can see, the slave is lord;
So round and round we run.
And ever the wrong is proved to be wrong, .
And ever is justice done.
Keep, Calico. to thy thought.
And nerve thy soul to bear;
They may gloat over the %senseless words
they wiring
From the pangs of thy despair.
They may veil their eyes, but they cannot hide
The suns meridian glow;
The heel of a priest may tread thee down,
And a tyrant work thee woe;
But never a truth has been Destroyed
They may curse it and call it a crime; a
Pervert and betray, or SANDER and STAY
Its teachers for a time;
But the sunshine, aye, shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And Justice shall be done. .-%.laa~.i'
And live there now such men as these i
With thoughts like the great Of old?
Mapv have died in their misery,
Aud left their thought untold.
And many live, and are ranked as mad.
And placed in the cold worlds ban,
For sending their bright f~ar-seeing souls !,
Three centuries in the van; -
They toll In penury and gret.
Unknown, if not maligned;
Forlorn, ~forlorn, bearing the scorn
Of the meanest of mankind;
But yet the world goes round and round
And the genial seasons run.
And ever the truth comes uppermost.
And ever is justice done.

Vice President George w. Swain
presided over the regular monthly
meeting of the Harrington Fire Co.,
held Monday evening. Despite the eX-
cessive hot weather a good number
of the firemen were present. The
regular routine of business was
transacted, including the reading of
the minutes and the paying of cur
rent bills. Chief Potter on special
committee work, made a report rel
ative to increasing the voltage of
the siren. He was instructed to have
the work completed at an early date.
Harold Brown was elected to men,
bership in the company and the ap-
plication of Herbert Denney was
placed in committee to be voted
upon at the next meeting. Under

man as alternates. The company ex-
poets to participate in the parade
with twenty uniformed men.

ed from their slumbers early Monday
morning to extinguish fire that had

narrow escape as It was with diff
Guilty that motorists passing the res
idence succeeded in arOusing them
