The production played 16 weeks

in its final week at Washington it
crossed $4,000 for the best house

date. At the age of 36 he became
chairman of the state committee
of his party and in 1912, follow
ing the failure of the Republicans
to nominate Teddy Roosevelt for
the presidency, became a Bull
Mooser and waged an active cam
paign for OF. r." Soon afterward
he went to Manchester, New Ham
pshire, where he started another
paper.
During the World War he served
overseas, returning with the title
of Lieutenant Colonel. Success as
a publisher followed him and Will
liam Randolph Hearst secured him
as head of the two Hearst papers
in Boston. Colonel Knox within a
year was made general manager
of the entire chain. In 1881 he
left Hearst to buy TIE great Chi
cago Daily News.
Liberal News Watched
In Chicago Colonel Knox found
a newspaper with long history of
favorable attitude toward Negroes.
1t was the only daily here which
employed a reporter especially to
chronicle news events concerning
the race. It had made and pub
lished many surveys regarding col
ored, obtained mainly on the South
Side, and they were generally fav-
orable. Naturally, Chicago Won
dered what the attitude of the new
owner would be.
There was no change in policy.
Colonel Knox has kept the Daily
News where it was before-one of
the most liberal papers in America
regarding Negroes. 1t continues to
devote considerable space to Negro
activities.
The only real difficulty with Col
onel Knox lies in the fact that
there are few standards to meas
ure him by where Negroes are con-
cerned. The Republican leaders of
Chicago are for him, including De-
Priest, King, Dawson, Anderson
and the smaller personalities. Their
interest, however, is focused on
Colonel Knox because the regular
organization has declared for him
rather than for any personal rea-
sons.

have personal reasons for his sup

FISK UNIVERSITY
ERATED HIGHEST


CHICAGO (ANp)-Of the four
leading Negro university centers.
Fisk is highest for its offering to
the average college student, de-
clared Edwin r. Embree, head of
the julius Rosenwald fund, at the
Fisk university dinner held at In
ternational house here Thursday
The speaker said four We're Of
such distinction as to set them off
as the important centers of higher
education in the raelnl group
Howard university in Washington,
the Atlanta university group in
Atlanta, Fisk IN Nashville, and Dill
lard university in New Orleans
and they possessed such scholarly
distinction as to place them among
the leading Institutions of the
South regardless of race.
"Of the four university centers,
Howard with increasingly large
federal support Is the richest and
largest" Embree declared. TITS
professional schools and graduate
departments are of specially high
standing. The group of colleges
at Atlanta is situated In an impor-
tant center Of the central South
and will doubtless increase in in
fluenee and in wealth. billiard is
too new to have demonstrated its
capacity. But its potential influ
ence is great IN the deep South and
Southwest. OF the four, am in
clined to rate Fisk highest for its
offerings to the average college
student. While 1t has not the inn
portant professional schools of
Howard nor possibly the potential
tiles of the Atlanta group, it IL at
the moment a remarkably fine
place for undergraduate students.
It combines the best traditions of
the American small college with.
the beginnings of scholarship of
high university standing.
I'm the study Of American uni
versities which recently made for
the Atlantic Monthly, it was clear
ly evident that second only to the
Institute for Social Science Re-
search under Professor Odum at
the University of North Carolina,
the most distinguished and schol-
arly single department in any
southern university was the De-
partment of Social Science at Fisk
university under the direction Of
DR.. Charles s. Johnson. Another
unique feature of Fisk university
is the Department of Creative Lit
erature under James Weldon John
son, who is both an inspiring tea
cher and a creative writer. Thomas
e. Jones ranks high among college
presidents North or South in his
administrative ability and his in
fluence upon both faculty and stu
dents. These are examples of the
excellent departments and the fine
personalities which make Fisk one
of the important institutions of
America regardless of section and
regardless of race"

selassie Directs Battle
Emperor Halle selassie IS re-
ported to have taken personal COM
mand OF the northern Ethiopian
forces, and dispatches are report
ing the Italians falling back.
More important, however. is the
decision of Ethiopia to waste no
more time waiting on the League
Of Nations but to do or die for her
self In defense Of her ancient home
land.
World opinion at first viewed the
League moves as a hopeful sign
thar a war Of conquest and aggre-
sion could and would be averted.
England led the way. finally ach-
ieving the adoption and enforce
ment Of comparatively mild sane
tons against Italy. Then Europe
sat back. apparently satisfied the
League had dome something. +"
Mussolini. hard pressed at home,
was forced to go forward, in spite
Of sanctions.
ethiopia waited patiently on the
League machinery, suffering the
worldwide success stories to be
written on Mussolini's advance in
to her territory.
Then came the Hitler scare.
France, wavering on direct ac-
ton through the League against
Italy from the very first, then be
gan to plead for sanctions against
Germany. The net result was that
the East African war was almost
forgotten.
Now new negotiations are pro-
ceeding on the basis Of the new
German threat. What win the fate
of Ethiopia be-? Emperor Halle
selassie has decided, what most
people knew at the start, that his
fate is in his own hands If he Is
to retain his country, he must fight
to the bitter end. He must drive
the Italians back at all costs. APP
parently he himself has come ar
ound to that view. and has begun
to act along that line.
