TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR SOMEBODY.
Taft’s Friends Roosevelt's En
emies—Storm Brewing.
The Richmond (Va.) Planet is au
thority for the following statement.
It says:
“That a great storm Is brewing in
the Republican party and that there
are breakers ahead for President Taft
must be evident to even a novice. The
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy has as
sumed a proportion of importance that
hopelessly involves not only Secretary
Wilson, but the president himself. The
storm center of the whole business is
the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, ex-presi
dent of the United States, who is even
now slowly but surely making his way
westward to engage in one of the
stormiest political campaigns ever
known in the history of the govern
ment. There are hosts of Mr. Taft’s
friends who are Mr. Roosevelt’s ene
mies, and if the present occupant of
the White House should show any dis
position to again be a candidate there j
will be plenty of trouble in this coun- |
try for somebody.”

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD
Former Students of Haines Normal
School Raise Snug Sum.
The Haines Normal and Industrial
Institute, located at Augusta, Ga., is
one of the best schools of its kind in
the state for the education and train
ing of colored youth. The school is
under the control of the Presbyterian
board of missions for frecdmen.
Miss Lucy C. Laney, principal of the
institution, enjoys the distinction of
being the only woman of our race who
is at the head of such a large depart
ment of the Presbyterian board’s work
in the south.
She is a graduate of Atlanta uni
versity, from which she went fully
equipped for the duties of life in her
chosen held nearly a quarter of a

century ago. Fired with dauntless
courage and zeal for the elevation of
her race, of which she always speaks
as “my people,” Miss Laney went to
Augusta single handed more than a
score of years ago and began teach
ing the few children whom she found
without any advantages for receiving
an education. No one stood with her i
while the work was in Its infancy. 1
The freed men’s board commissioned
her, but at that time only allowed her
what money she could collect on the
field for her services and also with
which to carry on the work.
That a commendable work has been
done may be seen from the fact that
at the present time the school has
twenty-two teachers and an enroll
ment of ov«y TOO Htudcnts. Miss
Laney has made many personal sacri
fices in order that the school might be
of the best possible service to those
who go to it without money to pay
for either board or tuition. In many
needy yet worthy cases she has taken
a part of her salary with which to buy
books and clothing for students who
were without means. In appreciation
of what has been done for them grad
uates and former students of the in
stitution residing in Greater New
York and vicinity formed the Lucy
Laney league for the purpose of as
sisting the school financially each year.
On Friday evening, March 11, the
league gave its fifth annual musicale
and reception at the Manhattan casino,
New York, from which a snug sum
was realized. The league has decided
to broaden its work for the school by
becoming responsible for the financial
support of the kindergarten depart
ment. The oincers of the league are:
Charles C. Davis, president; Mrs. J.
T. Brown, vice president; Itobert W.
William, secretary; John It. Ilillery,
treasurer.
