Common eJ upon its b he of tention HOT SHOT AGAINST THE SHELDON PLAN. If Representative Sheldon, of Washington county, former Rep ublican Governor of Nebraska shares the view of most Nor thern republicans, no doubt ukl like to see social and poli lip WO tical equality between the races in this state and in the South. If ho shores this view why not carry his educational for the enlightenment of us poor a little progran benighted iviississippians further and include the negro school at Rodney for amalgama tion with cur other state institu tions?

Our whole! social fabric is being undeter minded and the demand now is for every restraining influence.; This is a view worthy of consid J eration, especially in these times Representative Sheldon and Senator Zeller want to make the I I. I. & C. and A. and M. second-i ary and preparatory schools. On ly a few years ago the legisla-; ture cut out the preparatory; branches of these schools, in-; their collegiate work creasing and they are doing magnificent work as colleges . Is the legisla ture to face about so soon in its educational policy? With the de velopment of the high school system all over the state what will become of these colleges do ing similar grade work. Their plan* contemplates sav ing additional appropriations for these colleges. The increased ap- ; propriations are largely in in-1 creased suport funds made abso lutely necessary by the times. What are the colleges to do with out adequate funds to run on? What will become of their faith ful teachers and attendants, who have stood by their posts of du ty through all these trying times? Is there no obligation of the state to them? In the new appropriation bill are they not to be provided for and taken care of? Surely the legislature is not going to refuse them a salary thafc will enable tfiem to live. It is the wrong time for any such radical change.—Columbus Dispatch.
