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.

Fill their lives with sweetness Speak approving, cheering words while their cars can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intended to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without flowers, a funeral without an eulogy, than a life without sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post-mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way. One Significant Factor Connected with Annual Commencements. We deem it expedient to speak of School, Academy, College and University Commencements because this is the season that the American milhd is directed towards the graduation of her youths. That the school life is an important element in the composition of our social, moral, educational, religious and practical life is an avowed 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 certainly follows, that Commencement time, Graduation Day, is a very significant occasion. It is in the life of the state; the hope of the parent and in the aspirations of the graduate. It appears to us 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. That is to say they too frequently get idea that the reception of a diploma on commencement Day is a badge that will usher them into a life of ease, or into vocations that they are to do only what they delight to do—("sport" and look wise, for the young men. Flirt and "look good" for the young ladies.) Experience has taught us that such ideas are delusive, nonsensical and exceedingly impracticable for us, who have no capital excess our brains and muscles. Now, if ever, is the time to practice common sense. One significant factor that is connected with every annual commencement is for the graduate to know that the diplomas given them are to be used as announcements JOB-WROK GIVFN PROMPT ATTENION.

And, to complete a course of study meant that one has acquired the ability, to begin another, higher and more far-reaching.

After having used judgement in discrimination, the occasions urge them to have moral courage sufficient to condemn the bad and a broad heartedness that will commend and follow the good. [Image of a black silhouette of a person] Prof. J. H. Kenner, the subject of this sketch, is counted as one of the leading educators of the state. For more than 20 years he has had charge of the Marshall and has done effective work. One striking element of his character is the love he has for his home town, Marshall, as proven by the interest he takes in the religion fraternal and social life of his people. Since his residence at Marshall he has acquired property and is counted among the substantial citizens of the highly cultured city His home oe the North side is a place of hospitality, well presided over qy his wife a lady of rare and worthy attainments. On the occasion of his last commencement the local papers spoke very complimentary of him and his work. We are delighted to clip the following from the Marshall Daily Democrat:— "Prof. J. H.

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.
