Detailed plans have been laid down for the movement of this vast Army force along the public roads to and from camp. Commanders have been instructed to make arrangements | with State police to accompany the convoys. The roads for the movement of the various units have been laid down, and special instructions have been given for those troops which will not be able to arrive in camp the same day they leave their home sta- tions. These will bivouac at night, plans having been made for a large | concentration of Virginia troops at Winchester for one night. Maj. Gen. George E. Leach, chief of the National Guard Bureau, has recently commended certain Field Artillery units of the National Guard whose service practice for the training year 1934 was particularly outstand- | ing as shown by their reports on the practice ‘The National Guard Field Artillery, consisting of 53 regiments and four separate battalions, have shown re- markable progress in their annual service practice.

Linked with the destinies of new parties, as well as the old, was the career of the “Great Commoner.” Mr. Bryan had all the natural and ac- quired graces of a Demosthenes. As a college student he had taken part in many oratcrical contests. When he moved from Illinois to Lincoln, Nebr., in 1887, Mr. Bryan was much inter- ested in Pcpulism, then becoming a Western political credo. Mrs. Lease never forgave him for not casting his lot entirely with the People’s party, and used to denounce | him for his treachery when no other subject for phillipics was at hand. As an advocate of free silver, Mr. Bryan was of the same school as the followers of Simpson and Peffer. To that whimsical wizard of finance, Willlam Hope Harvey, Mr. Bryan owed many an economic doctrine, just as he owned so much of his forensic force | to the geniuses of antiquity. Harvey | attributed his independence of thought to his ancestor, Dr. Willlam Harvey, who in the times of the| Charleses of England lost his fortune and his large practice as a physician by asserting that the blood circulated in the human body.

Sentenced for 10 years to a Federal prison, he was par- doned in 1921 and permitted to return to his native city. He received a pro- longed ovation. Thousands marched in procession through the streets. The inmates of Atlanta Penitentiary had adopted him as a guide and prophet. Few persons of his cult have had so large a following. Coxey’s March to Washington. Grievances of the farmer and la- borer were capitalized for demon- | stration by Gen. Jacob 8.

He had promised to ar- rive with no less than 100,000 follow- ers, but only & few hundred were in that tatterdemalion legion which trailed, weary and foot-sore, into the | Capital. “Gen.” Coxey was able to hold the attention of malcontents of all classes and often spoke of another pilgrim- age. He retired in his 80s to Massillon, Ohio, of which he was elected mayor. He maintains that suggestions he made were virtually the same as those included in the alpha- betical New Deal. The Rev. James R. Cox, rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Pittsburgh and long a champion of the laboring classes, led a much larger army of the Father Cox. by the way, was the candidate of the Jobless party in the last presi- dential election Appealing to the public by his ad- In his little volume the millionaires of the day—the Carnegies and the Rockefellers and Armours—were rep- resented as attending the school of a | handsome young Chicago professor. | The instruction was in the form of | questions and answers, after the style which Socrates adopted.

However, | | the economist is known to this day as “Coin” Harvey. He is not without | honor, for in 1933 he received 800 popular votes for President as nomi- nee of the very young Liberty party. In his 84th year Harvey occupies himself at his home in Mone Ne, Ark., storing data in a pyramid of concrete for the benefit of archeolo- gists of 10,000 years hence. The rec- |ords explain the various mistakes which “Coin” Harvey declares will destroy this civilization. Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina was a warm supporter of Bryan in the free-silver campaigns of 1896 and 1900. His attacks on Presi- dent Cleveland in 1895 were so violent that he got the title of “Pitchfork | Ben.” Tillman, although he kept his | regular standing as a Democrat, was | really of strong Populist sympslhxes.‘ He had been active in the Farmers'| Alliance and similar movements in his | State, which he represented in the United States Senate three terms. Among leaders in the radical realm there proobably has been no more re- markable figure in this country than the late Eugene V. Debs. Debs was born in Terre Haute, Ind. a son of a well-to-do grocer. His father gave him a sound academic education and | | expected him to enter one of the learned professions. Debs instead be- came interested in labor. For a year or so he was a painter in the car shops of a railroad, and then became a loco- motive fireman, eventually reaching an office in the Brotherhood of Loco- mirable personal traits was the late Henry George, journalist and econ- omist. who believed that the land should bear all the burdens of taxa- tion. His book, “Progress and Pov- erty.” gained an enormous sale and helped him build up a large follow- ing throughout the country. Had he lived in the broadcasting age, he would have had millions, for he was a fluent and eloquent speaker and made many economic converts, One of his chief supporters in this city was Rev. Edward McGlynn, a prominent priest, who openly advo- cated the single-tax doctrine, even when ordered by his superiors to desist. He was removed as rector of St. Stephen’s by the archbishop and was ordered to go to Rome to explain | to the Pope. An Early Father Coughlin. His refusal to do so resulted in his excommunication. He was absolved several years later by Msgr. Satolli, apostolic delegate to the United States, and restored to the priest- hood. Father McGlynn then became pastor of a church in Newburgh, N. Y., where he died in 1900. He was a convincing speaker, popular with all faiths. He might well be called the Father Coughlin of his generation. In more recent times the United States has not lacked radically in- clined leaders of new theories of economics, finance and the social sciences. Technocracy was thrilling the coun- try in 1932, with Howard Scott as its chief impresario. Apparently the term was coined in 1919 by a Cali- fornia engineer to denote a system whereby all the resources of a coun- try could be utilized for the common good. By this means private man- agement would be unnecessary. The rather vague projects faded away, but there are those who see its image in the New Deal and the “brain trust.” There have been Utopia, Ltd.: the Townsend plan for old-age pensions on a gigantic and liberal scale, and Upton Sinclair, novelist, who tried to be a Governor with his E. P. I. C. plan—gaited and geared to “End Pov- erty in California.” (Continued From Third Page.) careers in music, the fine arts, busi- ness and the professions. At least 365 of the most promising represent- atives of colored youth have availed themselves of the opportunities for advanced study which this fund has afforded. About 273 have studied at 68 of the leading universities, hospitals and special institutions in the North and 38 have taken courses in 5 of the leading colleges for colored youth in the South. Nineteen have Sludl?di abroad in England, Denmark. Ger- many, Austria, Italy and France. Among the outstanding representatives | of the young women and men a large number owe the success they have achieved to the opportunities which | the Rosenwald Fund has enabled them to enjoy at home and abroad. In spite of the pressing demands upon it for dther purposes. and although the available funds had greatly decreased, the board spent $168,000 for fellow- ships for colored students during the last three years. ‘The officers of the fund have mani- fested their interest in the health of the race by spending nearly $1,000,000 for hospitals in various parts of the country. These hospitals not only cared for colored patients, but they served as training schools for nurses and young physicians before they be- gan to practice. Among the out- standing hospitals which have been assisted by this fund may be men- tioned the Provident Hospital, affili- ated with the University of Chicago; Meharry Medical School of Nashville, Tenn., and Flint-Goodridge Hospital of Dillard University in New Orleans. Special Clinics Established. Due to the efforts made by the di- rectors of the fund, in the counties of 11 Southern States there are 50 col- ored nurses who are rated as regular county officers. In addition to this there are special clinics which teach how to care for cases of tuberculosis and venereal diseases. Owing to the influence exerted by the members of the board, the Pub- lic Health Service has for some years directed one of the senior officers to use the facilities afforded by the Gov- ernment to curb disease and improve the health of colored people in that section of the South in which this work is being done, Those who are managing the fund have done what they could to secure for coiored people a just share of the relief which the Government is offer- ing those who need help. At a con- ference called in Washington in the Spring of 1933 the economic status of colored people was thoroughly dis- cussed by Government officials, econ- omists and business men of both races. Plans were made to make it possible for colored people to receive | the same consideration as was shown other racial groups. One of its own officers was lent by the board to serve as special adviser to Secretary of In- terior Harold Ickes. He was commis- sioned to keep the welfare of colored people before the attention of the heads of all Government departments. $50,000 Set Aside. The board set aside $50,000 this year to meet the emergency brought on by the economie status of colored 4 Rosenwald Fund Works Miracles In Educating Needy of South ‘peopleA According to a report re- cently issued this fund is being used | for three purposes. “First, to keep all the Federal departments ac- quainted with exactly what is hap- pening to colored people in the ap- plication of the various recovery and | relief measures throughout ihe coun- | to make an cffort to| try. Second, | take advantage of the reorganization | of industry and labor to help the race get a better status in organized labor. | Third, to make a study of the chang- ing position of colored people in ag- riculture with a view to finding ways by which those who are being thrown out of employment by the sweeping | reorganization in farming, may find | & new place in rural economy.” For the past (wo years the fund has been making a careful study of race relations all over the world, because it believes that the attitudes mani- fested by these races toward each other in distant lands have a direct bearing on the race problem in the United States. ‘The activities which have been mentioned by no means comprise all in which the Rosenwald Fund has engaged to promote the welfare of the colored people of this country. With- out its beneficent ministrations thou- sands who are now acquiring an edu- cation would have remained in ig- norance. Thousands who are enjoy- ing good health would have probably been rendered miserable and unfit by disease.
