SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1930 HE WILL UNDERSTAND THEM The appointment of William Allen White to President Hoover's Haitian commission is a happy one. Mr. White's sense of justice and fair play, his understanding of the effect of political acts and national relations on the welfare of peoples, are perhaps the qualifications which led primarily to his appointment. But in another respect also the President has picked an expert. The Haitians are Latinos and negras. Their temperament is not that of Angle Saxon; their life is warmly emotional and vividly imaginative, and no judgment of their case which does not consider the inevitable reactions of such a people to even a just rule, imposed upon them by allens, can be a fair judgment. Mr. White will understand these things. He will understand the beauty and the vividness of their imaginings and the poignancy of their sufferings and their rebellions; and "also, their folly also," even voodooism. The report in which he has a part not be a cold imperialistic judgment; it will be a document of human justice. DOCTOR R. R. MOTON President Hoover's selection of Dr. R. B. Moton to make an educational survey of Haiti under the direction of W. Cameron Forbes, chairman of the Haitian commission, is, like his appointment of Mr. White to the Haitian commission, singularly apt. Doctor Moton is principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. His life has been devoted to the uplifting of the neuro race. The purpose of the commission is to work out a solution of internal problems in the island that will permit the withdrawal of American marines stationed there. Most of the population is illiterate. In conformity with the President's educational ideals it is not surprising that he should turn to men in the educational field to help with the problem, and where could he find a better man than Doctor Moton? He understands the negro; he knows the fears, the joys, the passions that pull at the heart strings of the colored people. He can see through the petty superstitions of ignorant Haitian natives; the causes of voodooism are known to him. The natives will welcome him, a man of their own race, and he will be able to get their confidence and find the real issues that are causes of the trouble. If he proposes an educational system, it is safe to say that it will be one that will be understanding and sympathetic to the wants of the simple natives. Fifteen years at Tuskegee is n training that will give Doctor Moton *n* working background. HOMELESS MONEY St. Louis has one million dollars that the city does not know how to spend. In 1849 Mullanbhp gave $200,000 to be used "to constitute a fund to furnish relief to all poor emigrants and travelers coming to St. Louis on their way, bona fide, to set in the West." Today the fund amounts to over a million dollars and the interest is still accumulating. The court has been asked by the city to define "West." The heirs ask that the fund be turned back to them. This is but an example of what may happen and has happened to many trust funds with ironclad provisions for expenditures. Times change. Things that are a crying need in one generation often cease to exist in another. The result is that the funds continue to draw interest and expenditures cease. Of late there has been a tendency on the part of donors to educational endowments to put a time limit of a few years on the expenditures and at the end of the time to allow the trustees to dispose of the money as they see fit. This is the best way to do the thing; it would be better if other endowments were given in the same way. THAT KANSAS SPIRIT There is something about it, that Kansas spirit, that always calls to the grads wherever they may be. In New York we have a Kansas club, in Honolulu the Rock Chalk and "I'm a Jayhawk" are well known. In the South and in the North familiar strains of "The Crismon and the Blond" will touch a responsive chord in any alumnus. Such things show that Kansas has a hallowed name. Sentiment is not dead in the old grades of the University. IN MEXICO At last the flying delegates of the Kansas City chamber of commerce have reached Miexion City. The Mexicans came out and cheered; what else could they do? The Kansas Citizens cheered too; it was the proper thing to do. And then the Mexicans got the surprise of their life. Kansas City oratory mixed with other spice "bolony" from the States and from foreign representatives made more casualties than bullets ever did. The Mexicans, world famed for their bull throwing, found themselves playing a second fiddle to the visitors from across the Rio Grande. THAT SENSE OF LEISURE There ought to be course in the art of using one's leisure. To the majority of us, leisure is merely a collection of spare moments with which we do not know what to do. This is mainly due to the lack of an innate sense of leisure which for Americans possess, and the possession of which is one of the greatest enjoyments to Europeans. The American student has fifteen minutes to spare between classes and wanders minimally about, throwing away one cigarette after another and searching for some one with whom to "kill time". The German and English student welcome fifteen minutes of leisure, relax and give themselves up to enjoyment of the brief space. They do not rush multy in search of excitement, but are content to spend the brief period in peaceful dreaming, with perhaps the soothing influence of a pipe or a cigarette. A sense of leisure, knowing how o relax in one's spare minutes and vally enjoy it, is a saving on the nerves which we should not overlook. Even the briefest period of relaxation of mind and muscles is a woonerful reviver of the spirits. No verdict is reached after 67 hour debate—headline. Wonder if the speakers said anything?

Hitcheck, a fullfledged Mohawk Indian has made his home. Like his forefathers, "Flower of the Swamps," his Indian name, lives in Albuany with only a dog for a communion. on Outskirts of Albany Five years ago Hitechcko decided he live his present life. Prior to that he married an Irish girl, who is also a lawyer. We are members of the alpine police. "This is my life," he declared, "It is the life I love; the life of the forest and the streams. I am happy city, I was brought up as an Indian runner, to follow the mark of the cherry tree, by an old Indian who knew the name 'Flower of the wood' which I have adopted as my own." The 55-year-old Indian's home is located on the ridge of a wooded monastery. An old oak tree, which once marked an Indian trail, is near by ("Blower of the Swamp") lost to a fire. An old iron brooms brought up as a runner. However, he drifted among the white and worked as a painter, building a stage driver for the government. He arrived in Albany in 1905 and married Seven years ago he and his wife were stillilling to discuss his family affairs. "This is my real life; I shall never go back to the old."
