READ ABOUT WHAT HE DROVE HlS BOY TO - THEN HE'LL BE SORRY* MEHARRY CLOSING EXERCISES About One Hundred Graduates From the Four Departments Get Degrees. EXCELLENT AUDIENCE PRESENT Nashville, tenn.—with a re ligious setting practically incas ing the first stanza of “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name,” sung by a magnificent audience, preceded by the processional to which nearly one hun dred graduates marched, the Meharry college closed its 43d session. Long before the hour set apart for the open ing, thousands found their way to Nashville’s popular auditorium Hun dreds of families of the city were represented by various members in the audience. Visitors from the four corners of the United States and many from foreign countries were in attend ance, while the citizens in general swelled the audience to larger propor tions. Dr. George Whipple Hubbard, the president, in his opening remarks, paid a splendid tribute to the student body and members of the faculty for the past four years work. He de scribed the activities in and about Me harry during the great war, referring to the fact that within the jaws of the very gory conflict, somewhere in France, as well as about practically every training camp in the United States, Meharry graduates and under graduates played a conspicuous part. Not only were the blue stars hung in the service flag, but many of the gold ones, he referred to represented the spirit of Meharry which had proven one hundred per cent American. President Hubbard gave a resume of the forty-three years work of Me harry, telling something of the desire of its founders and giving the per cent of professional men and women * of the race who were products of the institution. It developed in the course of his address that they were scat tered into practically every state in the union; they were located in South America; they were serving as mis sionaries in Africa; they were located in the various isles of the sea; and they followed the stars and stripes in the recent drive the allies made even on the neutral zone of Germany, with the A. E. F.’s. The principal address to the grad uates was delivered by Bishop John M. Moore, D. D., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He reviewed the accomplishments of the members of the race who had gone out and were helping to bring forward the profession in the educational as well as the business world. He addressed his remarks throughout his eloquent and logical discourse to those men and women who were going out to begin life anew, admonishing them in con clusion to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.” The Old Flag Off with your hat as the Hag goes by, And let the heart have Its say! You're man enough for a tear in your eye That you will not wipe away. You’re man enough for a thrill that goes To your very Anger tips, Aye, the lump Just then In your throat that rose Spoke more than your parted lips. Lift up the boy on your shoulder, high, And show him the faded shred. Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky If death could have dyed them red. The man that bore It with death has lain These twenty yearH and more. He died that the work should not be In vain Of the man who bore It before. The man that bears It Is bent and old. Ana ragged his beard and gray, But look at his eye Ara young and bold At the tune that he hears them play. The old tune thunders through all the air And strikes right into the heart. If It ever calls for you, boy, tie there— Be there and ready to start. Off with your hat as the flag goes by! Uncover the youngster’s head! Teach him to hold it holy and high. For the sake of the sacred dead. —H. C Banner. See Only the Glorious Future. Like nil observances of enduring worth. Memorial day must take on new significance with the passing years. It no longer stands for the ‘bloody chasm.” That, happily, Is a thing of the past. The ugly wounds of the Civil wur have long since healed over, and their scars even have all hut disappeared. Though some of the survivors of that day may still feed upon ancient rancors, their children at least have turned away from hitter memories and, forgetting the Issues of a day long past, have set their faces toward the future with high hope. Hotels That Pay Their Guests.

Tuskegee.—The thirty-eighth an nual commencement exercises of Tus kegee institute were held from May 18 to 29. They brought together a no table group of men and women from all sections of the country. For the first time in the history of the school a Tuskegee graduate, Isaac Fisher, class of 1898, now university editor of Fisk university, delivered the com mencement address. Dr. George H. Denny, president of the University of Alabama, delivered the baccalaureate address. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, intro duced a new feature in granting cer tificates of merit to farmers who had through sheer ability and persever ence won succes* and built up for tunes in the South. The two farmers who received certificates this year were: J. B. McDuffy of Ocala, Fla. McDuffy owns 900 acres of land and is known all over Florida as the “Watermelon King.” The other farm er was Timothy Catchings of Camilla, Ga., who owns a beautiful home and 1G0 acres of land. Last year Catch ings raised more than seventy-five hogs. He is typical of the successful Negro farmer who, without education, has been able to achieve success and to accumulate substantial holdings. Dr. Emmett J. Scott presented the graduates to Principal Moton, who handed them their diplomas. Political Corruption. Corruption In political life Is really skepticism. It Is a distrust, a disuse which has lusted so long that it hus grown into disbelief of political prin ciples, of the first fundamental truths of the sacredness of government and the necessity of righteousness.—Phil lips Brooks. EMPHASIZES THE VALUE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY Former Chief Justice Peelle Praises Work of the Institution for Colored Rare. Washington, D. C., June 18.--Im portance of the work of Howard uni versity to the Colored race was em phasized by Stanton J. Peelle, former chief justice of the court of claims and president of the university’s board of trustees, in an address last night at the Interior department’s exposi tion. Howard university is under the jurisdiction of the Interior depart ment, being one of the important branches of the department’s work. Former Justice Peelle in his talk said he could conceive of nothing that has ever been done for the advance ment of students in any university that has not been attempted, in as large a way as resources would per mit, at Howard. “By means of the various practical courses taught,” he said, “we are hot only imparting knowledge, but turn ing out good citizens.” Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the university, said the education did not involve social equality, as com monly conceived. “We and our families,” he said, "have had the opportunity in school and college to find the best that is in us, so that we may go out into the world and enjoy the big things of the brain and soul; and that is all the Col ored people ask, that they be given the opportunity to find the best that is in them.” Charles H. H. Wesley, professor of history in the university, also spoke of the work of the school. One of the centers of attraction at last night’s exhibit was the wireless apparatus used at the school in in structing students. During the wai 200 Colored operators every two months were furnished to the army.
