VOL.XXX NO 48 HOWARD UNIVERSITY THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY PRESIDENT TAFT, CARNEGIE AND OTHER DISTINGUISHED MEN SPEAK The Andrew Rankin Chapel was crowded last Monday afternoon with the most cultured audience that ever assembled in that edifice. Seated upon the platform were many distinguished citizens, among whom were: President Taft, Judge Job Barnard Commissioner Cuno Rudolph, Dr Wn, Tindally, Prof. Geo. M. Cook, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. L. C. Moore, Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, W. Calvin Chase, Dr. John R. Francis, Principal Jackson of the High School Superintendent R. C. Bruce, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Mr. B. H. Warner Dr. Thirkield, Rev. S. N. Brown and others, Dr. F. J. Grinkie, Mr. Archibald Grinkie an daughter, and others. The university vested choir followed the guests of honor and took places on the platform. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Hurst. The university choir sang the anthem, after which Dr. Thirkield introduced Mr. Carnegie. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Hurst, after which Dr. Thirkield introduced Mr. Carnegie in a very humorous speech. It was the wish of the President that Mr. Carnegie be introduced as the first speaker, who said many complimentary things about the colored Americans and concluded by saying that the present library was the best that he had ever seen yet. Mr. Carnegie's Address Alluding to President Taft, Mr. Carnegie said: "President Thirkield wrote me that the President was desirous of having me present. Now, there is a rule in the old country that the king must be obeyed. That-being true, surely the President of the United States must be obeyed. "President Thirkield has shown me your library, and although I have seen hundreds of them, I have not seen one that excels yours, as a library. It is only during the last few minutes that I have gained an adequate conception of this university. The impression it has made is unequaled. I see here the nucleus for the uplifting of a race. I have seen Hampton and Tuskegee. Here you not only give the practical training, but you have also set a standard equal to that of the other higher institutions of learning, and the Carnegie education trust believes you are entitled to a share in the Carnegie fund." Here Mr. Carnegie told about his early access to a library in the days of his youth, when he was a telegrapher. Knew He Would Make Fortune "Then," he continued, "I saw that I was bound to make a fortune. I had made up my mind to that, and I resolved that I would provide libraries for all. All my success I owe to books. Books are the best kind of philanthropy. They give nothing without work. I don't believe we can do much for the submerged tent. The State will have to take care of them. I like to help others to help themselves. "The best society to get into is the society of a library. A library is a triumphant democracy; it is no respecter of persons. When the colored race becomes truly educated the problem of the races will be settled in the equality of education. I believe what Dr. Abbott said, that the colored race has made more progress in 40 years than any race in the history of the world, and the day is not far distant when you will take your place with every other race and the race problem will be no more forever." Mr. Carnegie was enthusiastically applauded as he resumed his seat. The next speaker was Mr. Putnam, who said: "This occasion is great because of the salutations, which include greetings to the President of the United States, the president of the university, and (turning to Mr. Carnegie), the president of "Cheerful Givers." Mr. Herbert Putman, Librarian of Congress was the next speaker. His address was full of good thought. President Taft was next introduced. President Taft Speaks President Taft was enthusiastically greeted when introduced by Presiden Thirkield. He said: "I am glad to be here to celebrate the function of the dedication of the Library, which the university and the country owe to the generosity of Andrew Carnegie. We do not envy Mr Carnegie, his money and the fortune that has attended his efforts. The thing we envy him is the happiness that it must give him to be able to do so much good to his fellowmen as he is doing every month in the year. "Now, I am not going to make a speech on Negro education or on the advantage of this university. We have listened, and I wish to pay the highest compliment possible, to the beautiful, the discriminating, the elevating, and interesting address of the librarian of Congress, and certainly I can add nothing to this description of the importance to a library as an instrumentality in the university for the proper education of its students. "But to come again to this university: This university offers to the colored race what it needs, and without which it cannot make advancement, to wit, colored leaders of thought in every profession in order not that all colored men may be university men, but that there may be among colored men, university men who shall lead the whole colored race onward and upward." JUDGE JOB BARNARD, WHO ACCEPTED THE KEYS At the conclusion of the speech making the audience, led by the choir repaired to the new library building where the keys were turned over to the chairman of the trustee board, Judge Barnard, by Hon. Cuno Rudolph. At the exercises in the new library building President Taft, Mr. Carnegie President Thirkield, Commissioner Rudolph, Justice Barnard, and Dr. Grimke occupied the alceve back of the delivery desk in the center of the building. Mr. Carnegie's face lighted up with a smile when the university glee club from a balcony struck up "I Got a Shoe." President Thirkield made a brief opening statement, and Dr. Grimke, in behalf of the building committee of the board of trustees, expressed appreciation of all Mr. Carnegie has done for the practical education of the Negro. In response, Mr. Carnegie said: "This is a great surprise. I never before realized how much more blessed it is to give than to receive." Commissioner Rudolph then handed the keys of the building over to Justice Barnard, president of the trustees. The dedicatory exercises were brought to a close with the singing of "America." Rev. Grimke delivered the following address of thanks to Mr. Carnegie: Mr. Carnegie: It becomes my pleasant duty, in behalf of the trustees, to express to you our sincere thanks for your valuable gift to the University. You have placed us under a lasting debt of gratitude to you. We cannot fitingly convey to you, in words, our sense of appreciation of this generous act on your part. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SAC PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY APRIL 30 1910 W. H. plies a long felt need in the University. We have for years needed just such a building, and have suffered in consequence of not having it. Hundreds of our books and pamphlets had to be kept packed away in boxes for lack of space in which to place them, thereby putting them beyond the reach of both teachers and studenfs. Packed away in boxes they were of no use to anybody: but now all this is obviated: we have ample room, not only for the books, magazines and pamphlets that we now have, but that we are likely to have for years to come. And all this has been made come. And all this has been made You have not only given us a building ample for all our needs, but one that is ornamental as well as useful. It is a beautiful building—beautiful on the inside, beautiful on the outside. It adds greatly to the attractiveness of our grounds. People who come here in the future will be more favorably impressed with our surroundings because of this building. Keats tells us "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." And you have added to these grounds a thing of beauty, for which we are profoundly thankful. We thank you also, because with this library building, with the improved facilities which it gives for the handling of books, for the ready access to them, and the whole atmosphere that will naturally surround it, it is going to mean a great deal to the intellectual life of the institution; it is going to be of immense value to the student body. The very sight of this building, upon these grounds, in which is gathered the treasured wisdom of the ages, or as Milton has expressed it, "The precious lifeblood of the master spirits, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond," will have a stimulating effect upon the reading habit, upon the investigating habit of the students. Carlyle says "The true University of today is a Collection of Books." In that sense, the library is the University; it is about it, in a large measure that its life centres; and from it as a centre much can be done, and will be done to stimulate all its intellectual activities. The erection of this building begins, I believe, a new era in the intellectual life of the university. We thank you also, because of what this gift represents of sympathy with the great purpose of this institution—the training of leaders for the uplift of a struggling race. This institution stands for the higher education of the colored people; and, as your munificent gift of over a half million dollars to Tuskegee, shows that you are interested in the industrial education of the race: so this gift to Howard University shows that you are interested in the higher education of the race also. And we are the more thankful to you for this tangible evidence of your sympathy with the higher education of the race, because Continued to page 4. SATURDAY APRIL 30 1910 T WM. H.

C., announces that on after the 60th day of April, 1910, she will devote much of her time in giving piano lessons to all persons desirous of becoming accomplished in the musical art. Lessons will be given only in her private conservatory in the Pittman residence ("Little Whitetops") out at Fairmount Heights. Each and every pupil will be charged the small uniform fee of three ($3.00) dollars per month in advance, irrespective of their previous experience in the work. This fee will cover one engagement each week, to suit the pupil's convenience. Madam Pittman has spent over fifteen years at the piano, having laid her earliest foundation in many of the best New England conservatories. After graduating at the Bradford Academy in the summer of 1905, she went abroad, visiting many of the foreign conservatories and attending many of the performances of the world's greatest pianists. Afterwards she spent two years in special and post graduate work in Berlin, Germany, under one of the pupils of Listz, one of the world's greatest pianists. BETHEL LITERARY "An evening with the Social Purity Club," was announced as the subject of the last meeting of Bethel Literary and Historical Association, when the following excellent program was rendered: Vocal Solo—Mr. George H. Murray. Reading—Miss Mary L. Mason. "Woman's Rights." Address—Social Purity—Mrs. Lelia Amos Pendleton. Piano Solo—Caprice Espagnol—Miss Lucy J. Moten.

At the close a vote of thanks was offered the participants and some literature of the club distributed. Next Tuesday, Prof. John T. Layton will deliver an address on Public School Music and the following musicians will demonstrate: Misses Marie C. James, Joseph Wormley, Mary Europe and Beatriz L. Chase, Messrs. Felix F. Weir and Ernest Amos. OUR CHOICE FOR SPEAKER FOR THE 62nd CONGRESS We, the members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League, representing over 600,000 colored voters in the United States, take great pleasure in presenting to the colored voters of the country the Hon. Gerrit J. Diekema, of Holland, HON. GERRIT J. DIEKEMA Michigan, Member of Congress from the Fifth District, whose cut and biography appear in this week's issue of the Washington Bee. Mr. Diekema is serving his second term in Congress and is making a record that speaks for itself. He has made a great many friends since he came to Congress both among Republicans and Democrats on account of his kind and business disposition. Mr. Diekema was Speaker of the House in Michigan and made one of the best presiding officers the State ever had and is known as one of the best parliamentarians in the State. He is also a member of the Spanish War Claims Treaty, and is a personal friend of ex-Senator William E. Chandler, who is known as the champion of the Negroes' rights. Mr. Diekema is a true and loyal Republican and a friend to the colored race and we believe that the Republican party could not make a better selection than to elect Mr. Diekema as Speaker of the 62nd Congress. DEANWOOD NOTES A splendid program was rendered Sunday afternoon, at the Zion Baptist Sunday School. It was a musical treat for the large crowd that braved the rainy day. Mr. J. B. Dillon, the very able superintendent of the school was assisted by the teachers and pupils of his school. Mr. Chas, Payne, master of ceremonies introduced the speakers. Mr. J. A. Purcell delivered the opening address. Short addresses were made by Mr. James L. Turner, Stewart M. Lewis and J. N. Lawson, after which the friends were really entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Dillond at their beautiful home. Keep your eyes on the voting contest among the teachers. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS The Manassas Colored Industrial School has recently received gifts amounting to $50,000. The institution will expend the money toward the establishment of a hospital and the erection of a trades building. Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in his report showed that $198,540.25 had been raised in double money. The colored school children of Harrisburg, Pa., received a pang of discrimination, when they were refused school gardens by the associated charities, and the white children given gardens. Just think! Christian hypocrisy in the grand old State of Pennsylvania. An interesting question of law arose when Lawyer Everett Waring brought suit against two Greeks in Philadelphia who refused to sell soda water to a colored man. Watch for the result. Mrs. L. N. Sessions, the first colored woman to graduate from Oberlin College, died recently. Ever since she graduated in 1850, she has been trying to uplift the race by teaching and other ways. She was also connected with the underground railroad. During the last fiscal year more than 250,000 specimens have been added to the National Museum in this city. It is said that in the taking of the census between 1,200 and 1,500 colored enumerators have been engaged in this work in different parts of the country. Judge George H. Williams, the author of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, died April 4th, "The good deeds men do, live after them." The American Negro Monograph, of which John W. Cromwell is editor, sent forth their first publication this month. Labor saving office devices and machines of more than 75 varieties will be exhibited at the Treasury Department, May 2 to 7. Plans of the exhibits have already been made and space allotments practically exhausted. Millions of acres of cotten, besides young vegetables and fruit have been damaged and destroyed in every Southern State, except Florida by reason of the cold weather. This is the most disastrous financial set back to the South since the Civil War. President Taft's selection of Gov. Charles E. Hughes, of New York, to be an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court is meeting the hearty approval of every one. An expedition promoted jointly by newspapers of Portland, Ore., and New York, to scale Mount McKinley, Alaska, left last Wednesday. The purpose of the expedition is to determine whether Dr. F. A. Cook ever scaled the mountain as he claimed. Loss has been reported from the Metropolitan Mueseum of Art in N. Y., a bronze/statue of an ancient Egyptian origin valued at $1,500. Jack Johnson will not lack support July 4th. Arrangements have been completed by his friends to run a special train from Chicago to the fight. The name of the road which will run the train has not been given cut yet. Cardinal Gibbons says he has ten times more respect for the woman who earns her living, and becomes a good housekeeper, than for the idle gossiping society woman who passes away her precious moments in doing nothing. MR. PITTMAN RETURNS W. Sidney Pittman, the architect has just returned to Washington from an extended trip South. He spent several days in Frankfort, Ky., closing out the work on two buildings which he has been constructing there. From there he went to Durham, N. C., where he is just starting building operations on a large church and two buildings for Dr. James E. Shepard's great school in Durham. So far the ladies are gaining in the teachers contest.

Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Malne to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most persistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of "shook shops" and the manufacture and shipment of shook and staves to many distant points was his life work. Malne afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast timber acreage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa., also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary's naval career sheds an interesting light on the question of inherited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Euglishman, transplanted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the interior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father's death Robert B. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors.

Peary's Birthplace and to include Part of the Old Home. land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lumber and many other products, by suggestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adventures. Leut. Peary's distinct ambition to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and its relief. He was then a young officer in the navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It is strange how soon we are forgotten. People who knew Lieut. Peary's father are not now certain of his Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the lieutenant's father Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Barker of Ebensburg is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George Charles Peary. However that may be, Mr. and Mrs. Peary on coming into this county located in the woods near what is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally accepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the original Peary home, and is said to actually include a fragment of the old building. It was in that house that Robert E. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Peary's birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. "Kill the horse if you have to," Mr. Peary is alleged to have said to the driver, "but get the doctor here in a hurry." And it's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gallitzin, was buried amid a blizzard, "That was like the north pole itself," says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin, Charles H. Peary's father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his children have resided ever since. George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it possible for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy. BRECORD HAND BICYCLES.

A., For The $15,000 They are off in a bunch, the several teams of the Y. M. C. A. in the race for that $15,000 which must be raised by May 17th. in order to secure the $33,000 promised by the Central Association. Last Wednesday evening the men who composed the several teams assembled at Martin's Cafe for lunch, and there received their credentials. instructions and encouragement. Secretary Lewis Johnson gave the word "go," and as stated, they were off in a bunch—the whole crowd of canvassers. Ever since last Wednesday they have been diligently at it. Dr. A. M. Curtis, who is chairman of the campaign committee was much in evidence bubbling over with enthusiasm which he communicated to each one of the one hundred canvassers. The Doctor is thoroughly in earnest, and so is every Negro man and boy in Washington, for the completion of the Y. M. C. A. building. When completed it will be an asylum for our boys—your boys, and there, surrounded by the best moral and Christian influence they can study, enjoy games, and all gymnastic exercises. Every man of the race, who has one spark of race pride, and a modicum of morality in his makeup, is urged to contribute something, if but a dollar to some one of the canvassers who will approach him between now and May 17th. The Y. M. C. A. must raise that $15,000 guaranteed by the Central Association. And don't forget the big meeting at Balasco Theatre, Sunday afternoon, at which meeting Ex-Commissioner MacFarland will be the principal speaker. Mr. MacFarland is one of the most entertaining, interesting and persuasive speakers in Washington. Some excellent music will be furnished by the Glee Club and Lyric Orchestra. Every Negro who contributes to the Y. M. C. A. fund will feel, after he has made his contribution, he is a public benefactor. The colored American must be an eye-sore to some people. In others columns will be seen and read with interest, excerpt from a speech delivered by Representative Dickinson from Missouri on the disfranchisement of colored Americans in this city. He compliments the white citizens in this city, because they are sacrificing the franchise. There may be a few aristocrats who favor the denial of the right of suffrage to the citizens of Washington, and the more sensible people want suffrage so that they will have an opportunity of selcting their own officials. There are men controlling the affairs of our local government today who would not be where they are if it were left with the people. The gentleman from Missouri ought to know that the colored American of today is intelligent enough to exercise franchise. This excerpt further says that Mrs. Streater gave several Negro recitations. Mr. Dickinson in one breath dislikes the Negro and Mrs. Streater in another breath thinks enough of the Negro to entertain her hearers by reciting Negro dialect. How inconsistent some people are! The fact of the whole matter is the gentleman from Missouri is jealous of the progress that the colored American is making and so is it with all white people who pretend to dislike him. Well; all white people don't think alike. MR CARNEGIE The address of Mr. Andrew Carnegie at the dedication of the Carnegie library was the inspiration of an honest and good man. It is the aim of Mr. Carnegie to help fallen as well as rising humanity. He declared that there were great possibilities for colored Americans. His declaration that the colored race had made greater progress than any race upon this globe was, indeed encouraging from a humanitarian standpoint. This speech touched the heart of the people because it was the utterance of a great and good man. The address of Dr. Grimke thanking Harry Bailey, Misses Mamie Rogers, Mr. Carnegie in behalf of Howard University was the sentiments of a grateful race. Dr. Grimke was earnest and pointed. Mr. Carnegie could not help from rising and giving vent to his feelings. IS IT TRUE? The Bee understands that the District appropriation bills have a clause to the effect that only fifteen colored teachers are to be appointed next year. Suppose there should be thirty or forty vacancies are these vacant schools to be consolidated? If this is true, would there not be a congestion of the schools? For the information of the public and those who are interested in the schools, will Mr. Bruce explain? TEACHERS' CONTEST There is a great interest being manifested in the teachers contest. The Bee wants every person to interest himself in this popular teachers contest. The Bee is the leading journal in this city and it will take the lead in all enterprises that will benefit the patrons of The Bee. HowardUniversity (Continued from page 1.) the drift of sentiment has been the other way, and still is to a very large extent. The higher educational institutions for colored people have had, and still have a hard struggle to keep alive, and are likely to have for years to come. We are glad as trustees of this institution for the higher education of the colored people, to be able to point to you, sir,—to Andrew Carnegie, as our friend, and to be able to point to this beautiful library building as the evidence of that friendship. I want to say also in closing, not perhaps, as a trustee of this institution, but certainly as a representative of the race for which it was founded, that you, sir, have a very warm place in our hearts. You have not only given liberally of your means to assist us along educational and other lines, but best of all, for there are services that can be rendered to a struggling race that are of more value, at times, even than material aid—you have taken the opportunity from time to time, to say a good word for us, not only in this country, but also abroad. You never can know, sir, how much your words have helped us, how much they have cheered us. It means a great deal to us, as a race, to feel that a man like you, occupying the commanding position that you do, are our friend, that you believe in us. It helps us to believe in ourselves, and stimulates us to more strenuous endeavor in our efforts to rise. It is the people who are down who need the sympathy, the encouragement of those who are up. And are glad that, among the noble-hearted men in this country who are saying to this struggling race, "Come up, you are to be numbered. Again in behalf of the trustees of this University, I thank you for this beautiful library building, and for the sympathy with, and interest in the work in which we are engaged here, which it indicates. May the richest blessings of Almighty God ever rest upon you is our earnest prayer; and also, I assure, the earnest prayer of the ten millions of colored people in this country, in whose interest this institution is conducted. The program was as follows: Processional—Ancient of Days — Jeffery—University-Wested Choir. National Hymn—God of our Fathers—Warren — Choir, Orchestra and Audience. Prayer—The Rev. John F. Hurst, D. D. Address — The President of the United States. Song—University Glee Club. Address—Mr. Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress. Anthem—By the Waters of Babylon—S.

Republican.—Dear Sir: I cannot refrain from a word in reply to the nameless critic who makes me the occasion for a "bitter" attack on Atlanta University. Atlanta University is in no way responsible for my opinions. Long before I went to the institution, if had deserved well of the American nation. Its 600 graduates have made the public school system of the South possible, have helped to make Tuskegee possible and have done and are doing good and effective work. For the philanthropic world to seek to punish me by crippling a great institution for good like this would be indeed lamentable. To piece out a meager salary I write and lecture. In so doing I express ideas and convictions. I do not think them "bitter," but they are honest and earnest. How far now ought Atlanta University to be held responsible for my thoughts? Only, as if seems to me, so far as my opinions are flagrantly and dangerously erroneous or an offense to decent folk. My anonymous critic, among other things, objects to (1) "classical" as synonymous with "higher" education. (2) The demand for political and social equality of Negroes. (3) Personal criticism of Booker T. Washington. (1) Atlanta University does not give the "old classical education;" it is possible for a person to go through Atlanta University without Greek. Technical and professional courses are offered as electives, history and social study occupy a large place, our industrial high school course is one of the best in the South and in every way we attempt a broad Free Trips to Atlantic City THREE MOST POPULAR SCHOOL TEACHERS The Washington Bee has decided to provide three great prizes for the most popular teachers in the Washington Public Schools. The contest is open to either male or female. The teacher receiving the highest number of votes will be given a trip to Atlantic City for 30 days, with railroad fare and board paid. The teacher receiving the next highest number of votes will be given a trip to Atlantic City for two weeks, with railroad fare and board paid. The teacher receiving the third highest number of votes will be given a trip to Atlantic City for one week, with railroad fare and board paid. This is a grand opportunity for teachers to have an enjoyable outing at the most popular summer resort in America absolutely free. And you may secure one of these delightful trips offered by The Washington Bee, the leading race newspaper in Washington. Each week, until the close of the contest, the following coupon will appear in THE BEE. Cut it out, fill in the name of your favorite teacher, and mail it in time to reach The Bee by Tuesday of the following week. The contest is open for male or female, and that it will close July 2d, 1910. The three teachers receiving the highest number of votes will be allowed to take the trip any time in July or August. Let the votes come thick and fast for the free trip to Atlantic City for the most popular School Teachers. THE WASHINGTON BEE liberal course of higher training. (2) I do demand political equality for black folk and "social equality," if by that is meant the right of people to associate according to character and gifts and despite such adventitious differences as creed or nationality or color. How could I be a man and not demand these things? Take up the current number of the Survey and find a proposal to disfranchise the procurers of prostitutes. Am I willing to be classed with these? Am I justified in admitting that I am not decent enough to associate with decent folk? How difficult it is for an American to understand that a Negro who demands equality with white men is not ashamed of himself. "He must be ashamed, else he'd be content to be a Negro," they argue, and never seem to sense the paradox. It is precisely because I am proud of being a Negro and have unlimited faith in my race that I refuse to submit tamely and silently to the unbearable indignities heaped upon it today. (3) The criticism of Mr. Washington is, I freely admit, a more delicate matter. So far as possible I refrain from it. I try always to make up my criticism with due thought and courtesy. Yet what is the fact? It is impossible to discuss the Negro problem today and nbt discuss Mr. Washington. In education, in politics, in literature, in social reform, in every question affecting black folk, Mr. Washington's ideas are prominent and his activities ceaseless. To discuss those matters, one is compelled to discuss Mr. Washington. A public personage like that must not only endure but expect criticism. Only in this way can we reach truth. It would undoubtedly be a question of intercollegiate comity for a professor in Columbia to criticise President Lowell's conduct of Harvard College; but if President Lowell became chief political sponsor for New England, owned and conducted one great metropolitan weekly and controlled a dozen others and interfered highest number of votes will be given a trip to next highest number of votes will be given a board paid. third highest number of votes will be given board paid.

But I shall not cease to defend the right and attack the wrong. W. E. B. Du Bois, Atlanta, Ga.

What he said was based upon the 36th verse of the 9th chapter of Matthew, "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd." The following in substance is what he said: In the physical world we have conditions of rest, inertia and motion. A body may have potential energy but still be at rest; or it may lack the power to move unless acted upon by force, and hence is inert; or it may be in a state of motion. These conditions exist in the world of matter; they also exist in the psychic world. The incident referred to in the text is an example of one of these conditions in the world of mind. We are told that Christ was moved with compassion. Dynamic was his attitude of mind. He might have been satisfied to have been a spectator, the attitude of inertia, or he might have experienced the static moodiness of the sentimentalist and proceeded to enter into an academic discussion of what he saw. But what he did we all know. The record is clear. He was moved with compassion. Seeing the multitudes, Christ was moved. Behold the modern multitude! the waifs, the slaves to vice and immorality, the sick and diseased, the poor ignorant laborers, the outcast and despised. These classes claim our attention on every hand. They are indeed the modern multitudes. What shall be our attitude toward them? That of the priest? That of the Levite? or that of the Good Samaritan who poured in wine and oil? This is the dynamic attitude resulting in tangible help. The altruistic Samaritan is in sharp contrast with the little, selfish, withered priest and Levite. And of all mean types of human character, the selfish man is the most contemptible. Action and not talk is our daily need. The academic discussion as to how many angels can dance upon the point of a needle is mediaeval, not modern. As moral result is of greater importance than an academic dis- SCHWARTZ'S JEWELRY STORE A Goldheim Tailored Suit Is design dcut and finished by the most skilled designers and tailors.

The address was dotted with pointed illustrations, several of which were taken from the life around our campus. Professor Logan closed with the following verses of Scripture: "The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into His harvest." A. O. N. S. Mecca Temple, No. 10, was attended by a long caravan, who came across the desert, at their meeting on Monday night last.

Street City State... ```markdown ``` This is of importance to YOU and and every Negro in the land! WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR NATION'S GOVERNMENT. The eyes of the world are on Washington.. One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923 and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington. Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact— THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best A.

There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DCN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

The same record which reveals this break records also its instant repudiation and punishment. It was on the fourteenth day of January, 1655, 25 years after the settlement of Boston, according to the quiet records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated.

I replied that I wanted a billion dollars more for my own use and that I proposed with the two billion I already had to establish a great institution where all the artists and writers and sculptors might work free from pecuniary annoyances, and raise the standard of beauty in all the arts throughout the world.

SKELETON MILITARY MAST Picturesque Feature of the Battleship Is Being Supplanted By a Structure of Steel. Boston.—One of the most picturesque features of the battleship is rapidly on its way to the scrap heap. The military mast, that heavy steel column of which most ships of Uncle Sam's navy carried a pair, fore and aft, which had fighting tops from the platforms of which machine guns could be used to pop away at torpedo boats or like craft, is being regarded as obsolete. The military mast was considered not so very long ago, a formidable feature of the equipment of a battleship. Now, it is being supplanted by a skeleton mast, a stranded structure of steel sufficiently open in its inter- New and Old Masts of the Battleship Missouri. lacing of supports to permit of the least possible damage from the shots of the enemy. It has been shown by experiments that this form of structure will stand the greatest amount of puncture from shots before it collapses, and so the navy department is replacing the more or less solid structures with this grapevine arrangement. The new mast, while rising to the height of the topmast of the old style, is only about one-fifth of the weight, averaging about 7,000 pounds, as against 34,000 pounds of most masts of the old style. The height of the new masts from the water to the lookout is about 120 feet, or approximately the same as the old ones, but the "eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on the top of the new masts than it was on the top of the old wooden topmasts. The illustration very adequately shows the masts on the battleship Missouri recently fitting at the Charlestown navy yard, the foremast being the new model and the mainmast the old.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage. Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is stationed at Bermuda, is a brother of Lord Kitchener, and this fact has worked against him rather than for him. He is considered a clever soldier in England, and at the time of the war in South Africa it was thought that he would receive an important post that would become vacant. He was passed over and his brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked for the reason. "It should have gone to my brother," he said, "but if I had given it to him everybody would have yelled 'favoritism' at the top of their voices, so I picked someone else." Walter Kitchener was expected at Cape Town at a railway station once when an old lady rushed in excitedly and asked at what platform Lord Kitchener was expected to arrive. No one seemed to know anything about his visit until it finally dawned upon the staff officer that she had heard of the arrival of his brother. He informed her that this was only Kitchener that was expected. "I call it a shame that this man, whoever he may be, should be allowed to use Lord Kitchener's name; the government ought to do something about it," she said, stalking majestically out of the station. "PEGGOTTY" HUT A SAD RUIN Yarmouth Scenes Which Dickens Described In His Story of "David Copperfield." London.—A Yarmouth hundred of herring really counts 132, and in many ways the inhabitants of the old town are credited with an open-handed gaelosity. Peggotty told David Copperfield, you remember, that it was the finest place in the universe, to which the boy replied that "a mound or two might have improved it, and also that if the land had been a little more separated from the sea and the town and the tide had not been quite so much mixed up, like toast and water, it would have been much nicer." But All that Is Left of Peggotty's Hut. presently, when he got into the streets and "smelt the fish and pitch, and oakum, and tallow, and saw the sailors walking about and the carts jingling up and down over the stones." Young Copperfield admitted that he had done Yarmouth an injustice. The remains of Peggotty's hut may still be seen, sad and forlorn, alas! but suggestive nevertheless of the quaint home where David was so happy, of Peggotty's jokes, of little Emily's pretty ways and of the dolefulness of Mrs. Gummidge. There are many ancient buildings that have stood the test of time better than the queer boat-home of Peggotty. Formerly Yarmouth was one of the principal ports of England, and its merchant adventurers enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth. Its Tolhouse claims to be the oldest municipal building in the kingdom. WILSON WILL GO TO MEXICO Minister to Belgium to Succeed Ambassador Thompson in Neighboring Republic. Washington.—Henry Lane Wilson, American minister to Belgium, will soon be officially named to succeed David E. Thompson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Wilson has been notified of his appointment by the state department and is clearing up his business at the legation in Brussels pending his departure for his new post. Mr. Wilson, who is a native of Crawfordsville, Ind., has been in the diplomatic service since 1897, when he was appointed minister to Chile. He [Illustration of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Henry Lane Wilson. became minister to Belgium in 1905. Before entering the diplomatic service Mf. Wilson was successively editor, lawyer and banker. He is a graduate of Wabash college. Concert givers in Germany find it more and more difficult to get an audience. Free tickets by no means insures one. A Berlin journal tells how audiences at recitals (Berlin often has more than 50 of them in one week) are apt to be made up. Miss N., who plays or sings, sends out about 200 tickets, some of them to prominent persons. One of these is the wife of Prof. X. She kindly accepts the ticket, but has no intention of attending the concert, so she gives them to her dressmaker, who in turn bestows them upon her assistants, who probably may go to the concert. In one case it was found that of 200 free tickets only 47 were used.—Musical America. Pulsation and Respiration. Before birth the average number of pulsations per minute is 150; in the newly born, 140 to 130; during the first year, 130 to 115; second year, 115 to 100; seventh year, 90 to 85; fourteenth year, 85 to 80; adult life, 80 to 70; old age, 70 to 60. At birth there are 44 respirations in one minute; at five years of age, 26; from 15 to 20, 20; from 20 to 25, 18.7; from 25 to 30, 16; from 30 to 50, 18.1. The average ratio which the number of respirations bears to the number of pulsations in a given time is $1:4\frac{1}{2}$. The temperature of a healthy human adult averages from 98.4 to 96.6, but 97.5 and 99 F. are within normal. PERRI W. FRISBY, SOLICITOR. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA No. 29159.
