Booker T. The Times, Hattiesb The Broad Ax, I Into the Fight in Defend the Do Advocated by t Tuskegee. For the thousand and one times it may not be out of place to state that nothing in the past nor in the future has been or will be said in these columns against the educational work of Booker T. Washington in the South, but when it comes to the point for him to set himself up as the only God or mouthpiece of the Negro—pertaining to his civil and political status, in the South as well as in the North, and indirectly advocates and indores his disfranchisement, that is an entirely different question or proposition, and we propose in our weak way to oppose Prof. Washington along these lines, regardless of the vaporings of the editor of the Times.—Chicago Broad Ax. We can not see it in the same light as the editor of The Broad Ax, that Dr. Washington has "set himself up as the only God or mouthpiece of the Negro." Of course his article, which we reproduce, is no answer to our questions asked in a former issue of the Times. We hold that the Negro in this country needs the friendship of the white man, that he must make friends and keep them. Mr. Taylor ought to know that the conditions 'in the South are not as the conditions in the North with respect to the Negro, and that a man's environments have all to do with the shaping of his policies. Mr. Washington has lived in the South all of his life, and has given thought and study to what is best suited for the masses of our people which are in the South. Their conditions were before Mr. Washington was known as a leader for our people, and he had nothing to do with their existence. Put he has done more than possibly the editor of The Broad Ax could have done under the same conditions. Mr. Washington spoke at Conventional Hall, Washington, D. C., before the National Baptist Association, and one hundred thousand people paid admission to hear him speak, and that in Washington, too, establishes beyond a doubt the fact that Mr. Washington has a hold on the people. We of the South are tired of theorizing from the Northern Negro who knows nothing about the conditions in the South. We want men who are living examples of what they preach. The fair thing for Mr. Taylor to do is to put the best construction on Mr. Washington's words until he shall by construction or further explanation place a different construction on them, and take nothing for granted. The foreign political element in the late election on the Chicago charter should give a hint to Mr. Taylor he has all the work he can do right in Chicago to hold our people as voters without dabbling in the political status of the Negro and Mr. Washington in the South.—The Times, Hattiesburg, Miss. It has never been stated in these columns that "the Negro does not need the friendship of all white men residing in the North or the South or in other sections of the country, and there is no Afro-American that has as many friends among the best class of men composing the opposite race than the writer, but these men do not ask us to surrender our civil and political rights in order to gain and hold their friendship, nor "Jim Crow" us on all occasions like the majority of the white men in the South—"Jim Crow Booker T. Washington, and then turn around and claim that they are the very best friends of the Negro after they have by brute force at the point of shotguns compelled him to surrender his civil and political rights" and at all times treat him as an alien and a criminal in a strange land. The friendship of this class of white men is not worth having, for their only object in life is to enact laws to crush every worthy Negro down, and to degrade and dehumanize him in every manner shape and form, and to debauch his women and reduce them to the level of common female beasts. There is not the slightest disposition on our part to disagree with Editor Thigpen, wherein he states that "the conditions in the South are not as the conditions in the North with respect to the Negro." This being absolutely true, we do not propose to assist Booker T. Washington or anyone else, black or white, to bring about the same conditions in the North respecting the civil and political status of the Negro that prevails in the South, and in all honesty and sincerity, it can be said that Booker T. Washington, by indirectly advocating and indorsing the disfranchisement of the Negro, claiming in all his preaching throughout the North that " the Negro does not want to vote in the South, that he cares nothing about his civil rights or manhood or his so-called natural rights; that he is willing to let his white friends look after these things for him; that he is contented to ride in "Jim-Crow" cars; to be taxed without representation; that he is an easy-going, ragged creature and knows nothing about the golden and precious word liberty." As stated before, Booker T. Washington has preached this most damnable doctrine into the ears of the American people so long, that he has accomplished more than James K. Vaidaman, Jeff Davis, Ben Tillman, John Temple Graves, Hoke Smith, Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., and all of the rankest enemies of the Negro combined, to re-sow the seed of his inferiority in every respect, into the minds of the people throughout this land, in order to enable him to acquire untold wealth at the expense of the entire Negro race, by persistently advocating his doctrine of commercialism, or looking at everything through a commercial eye as far as the Negro is concerned. Booker T. Washington has gradually educated the minds of the Northern people up to the point that the Negro is a happy-go-lucky individual, devoid of all ambition, incapable of progressing, satisfied to feast on corn bread, sow-belly and hominy and that is the main cause or reason why the people of the North have become indifferent to the disfrenchishment of the Negro in the Southern States. The other points brought forward by the editor of the Times as to Booker T. Washington addressing the Baptist convention recently at Washington, D. C., and other gatherings where people say to hear him talk, and his reference to the foregoing vote in Chicago are not worth considering, and if the editor of the Times is sat- Originator and Promoter of the Lament Association Who Continues to Denise in His Fight for Renminia Isfied with the present civil and political status of the Negro in the South, that is his funeral and not ours. The Past Unvelled. "Bruce Grit," an old friend of Dr. Blyden, quotes in his New York letter to the Boston Guardian very liberally from a recent pamphlet of the doctor, which gives a speech delivered by Alex H. Everett, a Caucasian Lostonian, in 1833, to the Colonization Society, who said: "Go back to the earlier period in the history of the human race. See what the blacks were and what they did 3,000 years ago in the period of their greatness and glory when they occupied the forefront in the march of civilization, when they constituted in fact the whole civilized world of their time. "Trace this very civilization of which we are so proud to its origin and see where you will find it. We received it from European ancestors; they had it from the Greeks and Romans and the Jews. They derived it from Ethiopia and Egypt; in one word from Africa. Moses, we are told, was instructed in all the learning of the Egyptians. The founders of the principal Grecian cities, such as Athens, Thebes and Delphi, came from Egypt and for centuries afterward their descendants returned to that country as the source and center of civilization. There it was that the generous and stirring spirits of that time—Herdotus, Homer, Plato, Pythagoras and the rest made their noble voyages of intellectual and moral discovery as curs now make them in England, France and Italy. "Sir, the Egyptians were the masters of the Greeks, the Jews, and consequently of the modern nations in civilization and they had carried it very nearly as far—in some respects a good deal farther—than any subsequent people. "The ruins of the Egyptian temples laugh to scorn the architectural monuments of any part of the world. They will be what they are now, the delight and admiration of travelers from all quarters, when the grass is growing on the sites of St. Peters and St. Paul's, the present pride of Rome and London. eland Giants Base Ball and Amuse- Do Good Work for Gov.

But what says the father of history who traveled among them and know their appearance as well as we know that of our neighbors in Canada? Sir, Heredotus tells you that the Egyptians were blacks with curly hair. Some writers have undertaken to dispute his authority, but I can not bring myself to believe that the father of history did not know black from white. "It seems, therefore, that for this very civilization of which we are so proud, and which is the only ground of our present claim to superlority, we are indebted to the ancestors of these very blacks whom we are pleased to consider as naturally incan- able of civilization. BOOKER WASHINGTON, JR., QUITS COLLEGE IN HUFF. Charges Discrimination, but Principal Calls Him Insubordinate. Exeter, N. H., October 5.—Booker T. Washington Jr., son of the noted Negro educator, suddenly withdrew from Phillips Exeter Academy, which he had entered on September 11, and has left the village. It was said that he was aggrieved because he felt he was being discriminated against on account of his color. J. E. Gomez, a Cuban, who had been Washington's roommate, left at the same time and it is said for the same reason. Principal Harlan P. Amen declares that there was no discrimination and that both young men were treated in the same manner as the 400 white boys, and that half dozen other young Negroes who are still at the academy and many students corroborate the principal. Mr. Amen says that Washington had not proved amenable to the rules of the institution, and for various infractions he had been placed under discipline or put on probation. Professor Amen gave Gomez an honorable letter of dismissal, which Washington did not get. It will be recalled that about two years ago this same Booker T. Washington, Jr., was arrested for racing a fine three or four thousand dollar auto through the streets of Boston, and being taught to spend the money like a lord which his daddy begs under the pretense of using it to help educate the poor ignorant Negro, he paid his fine in the police court like a high rolling prince. Captain John T. Campbell DISCOURCES ON RACE PREJUDICE. In a Forcible Manner He Sets Forth His Ideas of God and How He Worships Him. An Interesting Article from a Brave Old Soldier. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax: I still receive The Broad Ax, in which I am greatly interested. I still read everything I see in regard to the Negro race. Lately the papers contain some movement of the several religious denominations in favor of complete separation of the white and Colored membership of such denominations. Were I a representative of the Negro race I would welcome this move. In fact I would lead off in it. I would fight for my half of the road only where civil and political rights were in jeopardy. My right in a religious sense is not the right to worship with somebody else in his house, but my right to worship by myself in my own house. Worship is a voluntary matter not a legal duty. For myself I never worship at all. I think a great deal about God but I do not worship him in the sense that a heathen worships his idol. My thoughts are studies about who and what God is. I have not yet been able to settle that question in my mind so as to harden it down into a typical thought. The thought is all the time changing. So far as I now see there is no probability that it will settle on any fixed point. But I want the unhindered right to shift as I may or settle as I may. There is no color line on this right. I have observed and thought much and acted some in regard to the relation of these distinct races living in close contact with each other; and since there is a natural prejudice of distinct and opposite types of mankind against each other, I would avoid provoking that prejudice by irritation and agitation as far as possible consistent with the rights of both. Lincion, in his great debates with Douglas in 1858, said a wise thing: "A universal prejudice, whether well or ill founded, cannot be safely disregarded." Where prejudice is strongly marked and general in its existence, we are compelled to humor it. But we should not humor it to the advantage of one party to the prejudice and the entire disadvantage of the other party. For a long time the Germans settling in the United States were clanish. They settled in convenient lo-calities and associated among them selves. The Irish and the Negroes are not so much so, except as neces-sity compels them. They are much more inclined to diffuse themselves among our general population. The Norwegians and Swedes congregate in our Northwest, and form a distinct element of our population. The French are inclined to localize in their settlements among us. Then people will separate on religious differences. The Roman Catholics will not affiliate with the Protestants. They will not worship under the same roof with Protestants. Only a few years ago the Quakers were quite as exclusive as the Catholics. Then people divide on pontics. Let Notwithstanding these escapades on the part of Booker T. Washington, Jr. his illustrious father is still traveling around over the country preaching industrial education for the children of common Colored people, a prominent Democrat enter a Republican meeting or convention and offer to take part in the proceedings, and a self-appointed committee will lead him to the door in a jiffy. In the cities people divide socially on their relative wealth. A wealthy Catholic and a wealthy Prostant will meet in a social party on Saturday and refuse to meet to worship on Sunday. In the army men separate on their relative rank, but the great dividing line of cleavage is between commissioned and non-commissioned officers. A Negro would stand as much chance for a seat among commissioned officers as would a private soldier. There seems to be no way to dispel these artificial and accidental distinctions among them. Many a white man is deterred from associating with Negroes because of his fear of the adverse public opinion of his white brothers. I knew a case where a Kentucky family settled in a strong Quaker settlement. The Quakers then treated black and white on a dead level. The Kentucky family had many occasions to decline to attend parties and log rollings and quiltings, wool pickings and apple cuttings, common at that time. The Quakers went right on, paying no attention to the disgust of the Kentucky family, but always treating them kindly when they met. After a year or so, the Kentucky man, the head of the family, got so he could eat at the same table with the Negro man, the head of the family, after several occasions waiting to the second or third table to eat with the children and cooks, rather than at the first table, where the Negro was sure to be placed. Still later his wife got so she could attend a neighboring quilting where the Negro woman was treated as an equal guest or participant. The school was the hardest place to pass. How could the Kentucky children afford to attend the school these Negro children did? But they had to send far to other schools it became very inconvenient and expensive. At last they gave in, and went to the Quaker school, where they found the Negro children far ahead of them in school learning. After pouting in the corner of the school house rather than romp and play with the Negro children, they got over their squeeishness, and joined with the rest, and had a good time. By the end of the school they thought as much of the Negro children as of any. It was only when in company with their Kentucky parents when they consented to become acquainted with the Negro man and wife found them to be very estimable and fairly intelligent people, and the woman a superb-housekeeper. The Kentucky family in time got completely over their prejudice and laughed at their former foolishness. This is evolution, and if not crowded too fast will work out the problem. JOHN T.

Howard University entered upon its forty-first session on the 25th of September with the opening of the academic departments. The professional schools began their work in October 1st. The attendance is unusually large, especially in the college grades thus strengthening the position of Howard as a center for the higher education, and emphasizing the traditions of Howard for which President Thirkfield strongly stands. The dormitories are overcrowded, and a large number find homes in approved boarding houses in the neighborhood. Miner Hall, the home for young ladies, is overtaxed, although a large addition has been made by opening the end of the building herefore always occupied by a professor. Some months ago Dean Moore, of his own motion, proposed to the Board of Trustees to turn over these commodious quarters in order that there might be a suitable assembly hall, music rooms and additional dormitories for the young women. The large student body is enthusiastic and eager for the work, and they have got a full measure of the "Howard spirit", which stands for the highest ideals of scholarship and character. There have been several changes in the faculty. After thirty-three years of service in educational work, Dean F. W. Fairfield retires on the comfortable allowance of the Carnegie Foundation. This recognition of Howard is appreciated, although the able Dean is greatly missed. He goes to live with his aged and infirm mother in Los Angles. He carries with him the affectionate best wishes of the Trustees, faculty, alumni and student body of the institution which he has served so faithfully and well. Prof. William P. Hay goes to the chair of Natural Sciences and the Directorship of Sciences in the school of the city at a large increase in salary. Miss Anita Anderson retires from the Commercial Department to become the wife of Prof. W. L. Smith of the M Street High School, carrying with her the good wishes of all. Announcement has already been made of the acquisition of Dr. E. L. Parks a teacher of experience and a loyal friend of the race; Dr. R. E. Schuh a Harvard University Master in Science; Mr. E. P. Davis an honor man of the class of 1906; and Mr. E. Just a Phi Beta Kappa man of Dartmouth, who in a class of 182, alone took the degree of Magna cum laude. With a large increase in resources for the year, the departments are being strengthened and the outlook is encouraging. The formal inauguration of President Thirkield and the fortieth anniversary of the University will be celebrated on the 15th of November. Invitations and programs will soon be issued.—"M. K." ROBERT E. BURKE HURT BY CAR. Secretary of County Democracy and His Coachman Huried From Buggy. Robert E.

Gerald—I'm gind that your mother didn't commit bigamy; that's all.— Honest Post An Incident in One of Peary's Aristia Exploration Trials. One of the most striking passages in Robert E. Peary's "Nearest the Pole" is his description of the action of an ice floe which threatened his ship. He writes: "Its slow, resistless motion was frightful, yet fascinating. Thousands of tons of smaller ice which the big floe drove before it the Roosevelt had easily and gracefully turned under her sloping bilges, but the edge of the big floe rose to the plank sheer, and a few yards back from its edge was an old pressure ridge, which rose higher than the bridge deck. This was the crucial moment. For a minute or so, which seemed an age, the pressure was terrific. The Roosevelt's ribs and interior bracing cracked like the discharge of musketry, the deck amidships bulged several inches, while the main rigging hung slack and the masts and rigging shook as in a violent gale. Then, with a mighty tremor and a sound which reminded me of an athlete intaking his breath for a supreme effort, the ship shook herself free and jumped upward till her propeller showed above water. The big floe snapped against the edge of the ice foot forward and aft and under us, crumpling up its edge and driving it inshore some yards, then came to rest, and the commotion was transferred to the outer edge of the floe, which crumbled away with a dull roar as other floes smashed against it and tore off great pieces in their onward rush, leaving the Roosevelt stranded, but safe." On another occasion it required thirty-five and a half hours of incessant strain and struggle to clear a way through the obstructing ice floes to the open water beyond. Mr. Peary says: "The Roosevelt fought like a gladiator, turning, twisting, straining with all her force, smashing her full weight against the heavy floes whenever we could get room for a rush and rearing upon them like a steepechaser taking a fence. Ah, the thrill and tension of it, the lust of battle, which crowded days of ordinary life into one! The forward rush, the gathering speed and momentum, the crash, the upward heave, the grating snarl of the ice as the steel shod stem split it as a mason's hammer splits granite or trot it under or sent it right and left in whirling fragments, followed by the violent roll, the backward rebound and then the gathering for another rush were glorious." At such times the physical tension was intense: "Every one on deck hung with breathless interest on our movement, and as Bartlett and I clung in the rigging I heard him whisper through teeth clinched from the purely physical tension of the throbbing ship under us: 'Give it to 'em, Teddy; give it to 'em.' More than once did a fireman come panting on deck for a breath of air, look over the side, mutter to himself, 'By thunder, she's got to go through' then drop into the stokehold, with the result a moment later of an extra belch of black smoke from the stack and an added turn or two to the propeller." A Whirlwind Ship. "Typhonoid," a word derived from a Greek term meaning whirlwind, has been applied to a new type of boat invented by a French engineer, who seeks to do away with the present day screw propeller. The new screw is placed at the bow of the boat instead of at the stern, and it is believed that by it the centrifugal displacement and the central void of the present type are converted into benefits, and the limit to the advantageous increase in velocity of rotation of the propeller is removed. The apparatus is designed to work by suction in the manner of a waterspout. The inventor figures that his boat, with a thirty-two and a half inch screw, will go through the water at a rate of more than sixty-two miles an hour. The Picture Postal Card. The picture or souvenir postal card is probably doing more to make the world known to the untraveled than all the geographies and gazetteers. There is scarcely a village anywhere in the domain of the postal union that has not had its picture taken for a postal card impression in black or white or in colors, and thus its humble fame has been carried over seas and introduced to the four corners of the Union. All the aliens and prodigal sons cannot return for the old home week celebrations, but, thanks to the man who invented the picture postal card, they may be reminded of the old home scenes at an expenditure of a few cents. New York Sun. Tough Remedies Tibet's army is to be modernised, and with it probably will be the grand lama's military medical staff corps. The sick Tibetan soldier, it was reported a year ago, was put through a sort of faith healing process. An army physician of the old school chalked a prescription on a board. The martial patient washed off the lettering and drank the rinsings. The plan of the younger doctor was simpler. He scrawled his prescription on a piece of paper and gave it to the invalid to chew and swallow. Windmills and Electricity Windows and electricity. The use of windmills for generating electric current has given favorable results in the tests for the Danish government made by Professor La Cour. The four wing-wheel proves to be the best form. With such a wheel having fifteen square yards of surface he obtained two horsepower from a wind of twenty feet per second and ten horsepower from a wind of thirty-five feet per second. The plant will feed 450 incandescent lamps, with some are lamps and motors. Maxwell's Tallaman Selections Its Edges So Sharply Defined That They Are Visible. That the edges of the gulf streams are so sharply defined that they are visible has been reported on more than one occasion. The phenomenon was recently witnessed by Captain James Horne of the British ship Loch Garry on a recent trip from Australia to Boston. A writer in Shipping Illustrated says: "The Loch Garry a few days before arrival at Boston lay became, when a ripple on the sea surface aroused anticipation not of wind, as was supposed, but of the close proximity of the mighty river in the ocean known as the gulf stream. Spurs, lumber, a life buoy and other floats were borne past the ship to the eastward at the rate of about a couple of miles an hour, yet the vessel herself remained in the unaffected portion of the ocean, which served, as it were, as a bank for the comparatively warm waters of the river in midocean. "One hazy night during the civil war a blockade runner left Wilmington, N. C., intent on gaining the open sea. Next morning a federal paddle wheel warship hove in sight not far distant and at once bore down. The blockade runner wore within an ace of capture when suddenly her captain noticed and fully recognized the gulf stream ripple. He edged her away to cross the providential ripple without awakening suspicion in the minds of the pursurers, got into the favorable current while the paddle wheeler was striving against the adverse current on the other side of the ripple and got clear away. "A Nantucket whaler, Captain Folger, first pointed out to Franklin that the gulf stream was a decided factor in the passage making problem of those sailing ship days. Rhode Island merchants had complained that the packets were longer making the transatlantic passage than the ordinary cargo carriers despite the fact that the latter followed a more circuitous route. Captain Folger showed that, while the gulf stream retarded the packets along the northern track, it helped the less well found cargo carriers keeping well south." Jewish New Year Greetings In London many Jews send their new year greetings to their friends through Jewish papers, and the issues on the Friday preceding the new year usually contain many columns of festifications. This year a New York Jewish paper has followed the custom and has published one page of "greetings," among which are these: "In order to assist in preventing the congestion of the mails Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lucas and the Misses Nieto express their new year greetings to their many friends in this manner. No. 50 West One Hundred and Fifth street, New York city." "Senator and Mrs. Simon Gugruehelm wish you a happy new year." "Mrs. N. Wilzin and son wish everybody everywhere a happy new year. No cards." "Happy new year. With Zion's greetings. Annie Zeltlin." "Happy new year to everybody everywhere. Samuel W. Goldberg, 310 West Ninety-fifth street."—New York Tribune. In Southern Style. In the course of an address extolling the virtues of the medical profession Dr. L. B. McBrayer of Asheville, N. C. used the following characteristic southern language: "Could I borrow from the sun his cheery smile, from the moon her golden beams of light, from the southern zephyr their softness, from the rose its fragrance, from the rainbow its celestial beauty, from the babbling brook its laughter and song, from the sea its awe and wonder, from the valley its serenity and from the mountains their majesty and put these down upon a piece of azure blue sky, with comets for commas and planets for periods. I might then paint for you what the practice of medicine is like."—New York Press. Ancient Customs That ancient customs are still practiced by primitive tribes is shown by the two following incidents: In the Iliad it is written that when Asklepias "saw the wound where the bitter arrow had lighted he sucked out the blood," and so forth. In his recent work on the Australian aborigines John Matthew informs the reader that the doctor or sacred man made a practice of sucking the part affected. "There seems to be some efficacy in the sucking, for a friend of mine who was suffering severely from an inveterately inflamed eye allowed a black 'doctor' to mouth the eyeball, and the result of the treatment was immediate relief and speedy cure." Makes Straw Hard as Metal A new process of manufacturing strawboard has been invented. It is asserted that in preparing the straw pulp the addition of the process will give the strawboard sufficient hardness to take the place of metal for machine journals. This, it is said, has been proven by a practical test. By dampening the strawboard it is said that it is made pliable enough to be molded into any shape. The difference in material reduces the friction, and the test demonstrated that journals of strawboard require scarcely half the oil of the journals in general use. AT THE MINSTREL SHOW.

Not a Hit as an Improvise Not a Hit as an improviser. "Did you ever hear anybody improvise?" he asked. "No," said she, and he sat down to the piano and improvised for about an hour and a half.

A New Yorker whose business frequently takes him through the south tells of an amusing experience in a country hotel in one of the Carolinas. The New Yorker soon learned that the landlord of this establishment laid it down as one of his principles of action to give his patrons a little more than they asked for—to be "extra accommodating," as he termed it. The New Yorker had left a call for 6 in the morning, so that he might take an early train north, and he went to sleep in the calm assurance that he would be aroused at the proper hour. "I seemed hardly to have fallen into a sound slumber," says he, "when I heard a terrific pounding at my door. I sprang up, wide awake. "What's the matter? I called out. "Four o'clock! Four o'clock! came the landlord's voice from the other side of the door. Two more hours to sleep!"--Harper's Weekly. A Strenuous Hint: It was growing very late, but the young man in the parlor scene showed no signs of making a home run.
