JUNE 13-18. 1917. if. v.- s'satsk) TBAT AWFUL EX CAMP HEX T. XEW EVIDEXCE Of XV- COiirEXTEXCY AXD OBSOLETENESS. For a number of weeks and months tbe Vanguard has been full of dis play advertlstment, loug letters, ur gent appeals and everything that the old leaders could think of, calling attention and urging upoi the people the idea of a great encampment to be held on the campus of the Arkan sas Baptist College during the clos ing -week of that school, or to be more specific, during commenment week. Every one of the old-liners that had any Influence or thought he had any influence did his little best to arouse the people to bring them forth. A long standing letter of the most urgent and exacting nature from the old Boss Chief Encamper, President of the Incorporated Na tional Baptist Convention and old- line State Convention, was kept in the eyes of the people of the state. This backed up by the editorials of the local domestic encamper of thirty years' standing, backed up by tie royal messages of Encamper Sando- fur, the head of the State Sunday school forces of Arkansas, backed up by Camper Adams and all of the other encampers, but in spite of ah of these urgent appeals from tho old-line campers, the matter fell through and demonstrated what hath been demonstrated time and time again, that those old encampers had gone to the length of their cable's tow, and were simply dangling at the end of their cable a lot of dead ducks. They did not have the power nor the influence, nor the magnetism, nor the reputation, nor the ability to arouse the people. The people de monstrated by act rather than words that they are simply tired of them. It was the most pitiable sight that the editor of the People's Defender has ever witnessed, a most distress ing, deplorable sight, to see Camper Booker, Camper Adams, Camper Me- Crary and a few o the old campers strolling around and about the beau tiful campus at ICth and High streets, seemingly looking up to God whom they had long since forsaken, pleading for help and for other ei- campers to come to their assistance. Not only did the people of the state and city fail to respond to their ur gent appeals, but the students them selves were standing around in little squads as if tc say, we are simply discouraged with the great bragginsr commencement that was made by the president that hundreds and thousands of persons would be here, when in fact and in reality thevo were scarcely any out-of-town people on the campus. The editor of the People's Defen der has said time and again and still repeats that the management is en tirely incompetent. We are " told, and if reports be true, a large tent was rented and placed on the cam pus at the cost of $100. A collection was called to reimburse the college fund, the collection amounted to $5. We are not prepared to say just what the collection in full was, but it was only $12 according to reliable reports. Now as to the incompeten cy, can't anybody see who has sense enough to get out of a shower ot rain that in those hard times that it is foolhnrdiness to lake money that ought to be given to teachers and to tho boarding department and to the paying of honorable and legiti mate bills, to take money, we say, and expend it for a tent and place it on the campus where people will linost freeze, catch the pneumonia iind incur doctor's bill, when splendid hall erccled for the purpose of college entertainments, and col lege days and college commence ments was on hand. It demonstrates the Big-Eyed-Ness of the Manage ment. No doubt the management had been led to believe that hundreds of encampers would be present, andat the downfall and entanglement of raise' several hundred or perhaps thousands of dollars. It Is simply the business foolishness that enters into the brain of those ln control. That is why the Institution is where it is today, is because of the foolish methods pursued and programs car ried out. This enoampment was a new ruse on the part of the old-line loaders; it Is simply a new name for eld hash. The people 'knew that it!lrom the courso- Jurors are a,s, meant the same old thing, but they wrapped It up in a new garment and called It encampment They thought they would do the people like the spider did the fly, but the people know the winding stairs of that sang, and the people are not going to followj them into their little parlor or death. It is said by them, that the Progressive movement ln the Ibtate 11 not have any (following. This encampment demonstrates most clearly that the old-liners have no following. The people ore simply (sitting quietly by, listening at tbe big talk,' hearing the loud squealing ttppeals, looking at the frantic ef forts put forth, but they are simply sitting by, watching, quietly watch ing the baby die. There Is no appeal, there is no method, there is no game that the Booker-Morrls-Adiams-Sande-fur- MIcCrary- Lovelace- Patterson-Chism-Knowles-Caver-Jlmerson com bine can play or maie that will de liver them from the throes of defeat. The people cannot be aroused by thera. The Progressive movement may not be able to get Into the churches aad give the people the proper information, the proper stimu lation that will cause them to be come active, but there Is one thing that is certalm, the . old-liners will cever be able to arouse them. It may be Impo-lbl to ever break their deadly grip upon the people's throat. but it Is certain that the people will ! never again respond to thera and their appeals. The work will simply die unless new hands, new hearts and new minds lay hold of It. This encampment demonstrates that. Hur rah for the Campers. You will have tc get another name, boys, because tbe people have sat down on that name good and hard. Hurrah, for tbe campers. '. v The People's Defeuder. The United States seems to have been plunged into the war up to tbe very neck. Everybody Is sufficiently acquainted wltQ the incidents lead ing ud to tbe war. Many neoDle doubtless are opposed to the war, but since the government has accepted war as Its policy, then let everybody, every citizen push the government's side of the case. This war, however, Is going to cost the people enormous ly. If the bill that is now before Congress passes, every citizen in the United States will be taxed $33 per l ead annually. This does not only apply to citizens ot age, but to In dividuals, as we understand It, It is to average that per capita of every individual in the United States. The United States government finding it self up against the proposition Is wing no stone unturned to equip itself for the Inevitable fray. Colonel- Roosevelt, ex-presldeut of the United States, is exerting all of the influence and power at his com mand to be permitted by the govern ment to carry a dlvisoln of soldiers to the very seat of war. He desires very much to enter into the activa battlement. There is, however, con siderable objections to his plan, but he has had su dent influence thus far to hold up the entire war measure unless that position Is retained. In some respects, it would be a delight ful occasion of history to see an ex president leading a force of Ameri cans in a foreign country. We do not know of a man better prepared and fitted in courage and in par tiality to lead an American force to the very front of the war than is Teddy Roosevelt. The moral influ ence of such an act upon the part of the government cannot be estimated for the world would expect some great things of the American soldier were he to enter into the active fight ing of the war. Its influence doubt less would be gTeat also upon the German. Teddy Is always ready for the spectacular and that which makes history, both for him self and for his country. If he should be permitted to lead a division of American soldiers to the seat of war in a foreign country, he would doubtless make" a name for himself, greater, if possible, than that which he already has, returning back to bis native country after the war is over, be would simply be an invin cible factor in the management and conduct of tho American government. After all, no doubt but what Teddy is not looking ahead to such condi tions. Since writing we understand his plan has been defeated by Con gress. The Peoples Defender. The moral growth and develop ment of our state scorns to lio clearly indicated in the arrest and convic tion of Senator S. C. Sims, who was u member of the lrmt State Legisla ture of Arkansas, lie was accused, arrested and indicted for receiving a bribe of $1,000 to work and use bis oiricial strength in oppositn to legis lative enactments that came up be fore that honorable body. His con viction expresses the healthy senti ment that exists in tbe moral at mosphere of our state. While the People's Defender decs not rejoice nny man aml yet tlln,'e is nothing tnat appeals to us as more gracious nn(1 ln keeping with deceimy than that men shall be prohibited from being elected to public official place, and then use that public official place for personal gain ut the expense of the public's good. Prosecutor Duna v;ay is to be congratulated for not permiitting anything to throw him to he congratulated because every man who violates the law, especially If that law Is a good one, should be brought to task, whether that man be high or low, rich or poor, black or white. The laws are made for viola tors, regardless to creed or color, and when our state rises up In Its moral sense of duty, and in an indiscrimi nate way deal out justice to every body, then the state becomes a healthy place in which to live, and laws become active deterents to crim inals.
