Lincoln, Nebr.—The great intercollegiate debate held in this city last Friday night between Nebraska and Wisconsin Universities presented a great opportunity for the Afro-American that was improved to the fullest. When the Wisconsin party allighted from their Pullman all eyes were on Marshall, who was driven to the best hotel in the city where he put up. Friday night the hall was packed with 1500 people. There were a brass band, orchestra, a quartet Real, True Culture. Culture, real, true culture, is got by life and living. The professor may teach you as best he can he may lead your mind through strange ways and to wonderful things, but when he has put forth the last, kindly, thoughtful effort your destiny is in the grasp of your own hand and brain. And whether fortune gives you peace and plenty or the fates deal you and Bryan, Marshall's oratory completely captured the great crowd and it was full three minutes before the applause subsided after he had finished. Mr. Bryan, as did hundreds of others, declared that Marshall's speech was the finest ever heard in Nebraska. Led by Mr. Bryan, the gentlemen with their wives and daughters pressed forward to grasp the hand of the most brilliant Afro-American orator in the northwest.—Eugene J. Marshall. grief and unrest, whether the world dashes your hope to dust or raises your soul to its dream, when the end is reached and your fondest and dearest and most cherished longing has realized or dissipated, the value of your life to others and grandeur of it to yourself, will be measured by the degree in which you have moulded something, be it your own character, or be it marble, paint, or iron or the thoughts' the feelings, and the circumstances of men.

HEADQUARTERS SOLDIERS' DEFENSE FUND COMMITTEE. NEGRO CAPTAIN. Captain Young of the Ninth Cavalry is recalled From Detail as Attache at Hayti. Question of Rank. Washington, April 23.—Capt. Chas. Young of the Ninth cavalry one of the few Negro officers in the army, has been ordered home from his assignment as military attache at Hayti and ordered to his regiment, which is booked for the Philippines. The post of military attache on the island was created for Young and will not be filled by the appointment of another officer. Young stands high in the list of captains, and in a few years will attain his majority. With increase rank the problem of what to do with him becomes more difficult. As a captain of a troop of cavalry two white officers have to serve under him and when he reaches the next grade the situation will be farther complicated by a largely increased number of officer linate to him. years ago a lieutenant in southern state declined to serve under a Negro officer but finally managed to secure congressional pull enough to obtain a transfer to another regiment. It is realized at the department THE CONSTITUTION LEAGUE'S TALION ENDORSED BY MAS A CLARION CALL TO ARMS HEADQUARTERS SOLDIER COMMIT Boston, Mass., April, 1907. Recognizing the unlawful discharge of the "Black Battalion" of the Twentyfifth U. S. Infantry by the Chief Executive of the U. S. as another blow at the Constitutional rights of American citizens, "The Constitution League of the United States" has of its own volition taken up the fight of the discharged soldiers and supported the Hon. Joseph Henson Foraker, Senator from Ohio, in his splendid effort to maintain Constitutional rights for American citizens. We, the members of the committee for the "Soldiers' Defense Fund" of Massachusetts, heartily endorse the appeal issued by "The Constitutional League" for funds to carry on this great work of constitutionally establishing the rights of American citizens, regardless of race, creed or color. We do hereby urge the members of our race to form committees by public mass meetings or otherwise and to raise funds to help "The Constitution League." We especially appeal to the editors of colored newspapers to publish gratis, and as possible, this, our appeal, and the appeal by "The Constitution League." We also appeal to all churches, secret societies, other racial organizations and individuals of our race to aid "The Constitution League" in its laudable effort to secure the sights of the citizens in this country, whether soldiers or civilians. This committee, purposely crawn from diverse elements and groups of Massachusetts colored citizens, has for several months been in close personal touch with the management of "The Constitution League;" has been in confidential conference with its secretary; has given several hundred dollars into its hands to be expended at its discretion for the that this way out cannot be affect ed. With Young marooned at Port Au Prince the department had things to suit it, but he is needed in the Philippines, and in addition had been kept in Hayti longer than a detail ordinarily lasts.—Ex.

One building is to be located just south of the Iowa building and is planned to be three stories in height.

We deem it expedient to speak ot School, Academy, College and University Commence ments becatse this 18 the season that the A- merican mihd is directed towards the graduation of her youths, ‘That the school life is an impcr.. n‘ element in the composition of our social, moral, educational, religious and practical life isan a- vowed fact, well substantiated by the stupendous amount of energy ‘we put into our educational systems, money, effort, character and all of our best attainments are devoted to the school life of our children, Therefore, since school lite is such an important factor, it cer- tainly follows, that Commencement time, Graduation Day, is a very signiticant occasion. _It is in the life of the state; the hope of the parent and in the aspirations of the graduate, It appears tous that our Seniors, from High School, Academy, College and University too often catch the wrong spirit and pursue with inexhaustible persis tence the delusive beckoning of an ignis fatuus, Thatis to say they too frequently get idea that the receptiou of a diploma on com- mencement Day ts a badge that will usher them into a life of ease, or into vocations that they are todo only what they delight to do— (“sport’’ and look wise, for the young men. —_—Flirtand “Jook good"? for the young ladies.) Experience has taught us that such ideas are delusive, nonsensical and exceedingly impracticable for ux, who have no capital excey 3 our brains and muscles.

Hubbard, principal Lincoln School has done a sensible thing by securing the New Sedalia Theatre to hold his commencement exercises.

Let the friends of popular education turn out enmase. An Institute, for the Counties named in our columns, will convane here on the 3rd of June. It is very necessary for teachers who hope to be counted, among the progressive, to attend either the Institute or some approved Summer School. The latter is preferable. One or the other is a mandatory requirement. Prot. Hubbard, who has charge of this Institute, is arranging for work that will be both pleasant and help ful for the teachers. Teachers, planning to attend here, should write him at once. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR He was the world's greatest Negro poet.

When the last census was taken, nearly seven years ago, the Negro owned 160,000 farms, the value of which was $200,000,000. In addition that he held personal property valued at $150,000,000. The state of Virginia has recently practically disfranchised the Colored man yet that state Negroes own 87, 182 acres of land, valued at $6,250 450. Of course, according to Senator Tillman, the Negro must ever remain densely stupid and ignorant. Nevertheless, there are to day 7,000 Negro teachers in this country, mostly in the south, 23, 000 of whom are regular graduates of normal schools, 33 are college presidents, 169 are principals of high schools. Furthermore, there are today 567 young Negroes from this country, taking special courses in the universities of Europe. One thing Mr. Tillman discovered, and of which he is very sure, is that when a Negro does manage to acquire an education it only makes him a worse rogue and more worthless to society than he was before. The educated Negro, we are assured, is pretty sure to be a criminal. Well, the census showed that there were present. of all races, in the penitentiaries of the United States, 45,233, and out of that number 9,867 were colored, including Indians. Chinese and Japanese. In county jails there were 29,538, of which number 5,575 were colored. In the juvenile re formatories there were 14,846, of which 1,943 were colored. In the almhouses there were 73,945 paupers, of which number only 6,467 were colored. Now, of the total 45,533 convict7 in penitentiaries,253 had enjoyed a higher education, and there was not an educated Negro in the lot If educated Negroes are necessarily such rascals they must be smarter than the educated whitess as their success in keeping out of the penitentiary proves.
