BOOKERT.WASHINGTON Tours Delaware-Is Warmly Received HEARTY RECEPTION. Head of Tuskegee Institute Was Warmly Welcomed in This City and State—Made an Excellent Address at the Opera House—Reception at Dr. Elbert's Home. Wilmington, Del. July 4. Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute and America's foremost negro educator, began his educational tour of Delaware yesterday when he spoke to three immense crowds during the day. The first meeting was held on the green at New Castle at 0 o'clock in the morning, and the address of welcome was made by the Rev. W. T. Righer, who introduced the noted lecturer. Dr. Washington spoke of the great progress being made by the members of his race and his remarks at both New Castle and Newark, which followed, was directed to the negro, who was advised to accomplish something worth while. Harry T. Burleigh, baritone soloist of St. George's Episcopal church, New York, sang several selections at all the meetings. Returning to this city the lecturer dined at the residence of Dr. S. C. Elbert, after which the party went to the Opera House, where the monster meeting of the day was held. The day's program came to an ending with a reception at Dr. Elbert's fine residence last evening, when a steady string of invited guests met the distinguished educator from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock. The itinerary for to-day allows for five meetings in as many different towns with a dinner in this city this evening. The party will leave this morning in a special train at 6,30 o'clock and they will go direct to Georgetown, where an address will be made at 10 o'clock in the court house square. Boarding the train the lecturer will go to Milford, where an address is to be delivered at 11,30 o'clock. The return towards this city will then be made with the party stopping off in Dover from 1 o'clock to 5:30 o'clock. Dr. Washington and his party will take lunch at the State College for Colored Students, after which he will make an address. United States Senator H. A. Richardson will introduce the lecturer. Following the Dover meeting the party will stop at Clayton, where an address will be made after which the special train with the lecturer and his party will go to Middletown, where a stop of an hour will be made. The meeting will be held on the academy grounds and at the close the start for Wilmington will begin. Arriving here the party will be entertained at a banquet at the Colored Odd Fellows' Temple at Tenth and Orange streets, at which prominent men of both races will be present. With but few exceptions has the auditorium of the Opera House held such a large audience of men and women, of both races, as that which completely filled the theatre yesterday afternoon when Dr. Washington, accompanied by a delegation of representative men of the colored race, men identified with the national life of the country, walked on the stage which was also filled with men prominent in the every day life of this city and state. Although the weather was extremely warm on the streets and excessive indoors, the large crowd awaited with good humor the appearance of the educator, who had been delayed Shortly before Dr. Washington made his appearance the vast number of chairs on the stage were filled, among those present being Governor Simeon S. Pennewill, who made the introductory remarks; President of Council James L. Banning, who made the address of welcome; the Rev. Hubert W. Wells, the Rev Alexander Alison Jr., United States District Attorney John P. Nields, Judge Daniel O. Hastings, former Attorney-General Robert H. Richards, City Solicitor John W. Brady, Alfred D. Warner, Thomas J. Sullivan of the Board of Education, Thomas H. Melvin, Colonel Alfred L. Ainscow, former Mayor Horace Wilson, County Treasurer Robert M. Burns, Henry W. Stafford, Howell S. England, William Lawton, former Lieutenant-Governor I. T. Parker, J. Frank Ball, W. H. Williams, Harry W. Chairs, William P. Bancrook, Chief of Police George Black, J. Hadley Lewis, John P. Long, John Reed, W. J. Young, superintendent of letter carriers, Peter J. Ford, Maurice Molloy, Charles H. Colburn, William E. Grinnage, A. B. MacPherson Johnson, John H. Benson and others of this city. The distinguished educator and his party likewise were on the stage, and those in the party with the exception of Dr. Washington were his two secretaries, Dr. R. E. Parker and Emmett Scott, Ralph W. Tyler, fourth auditor of the United States Treasury Department at Washington; Judge Robert H. Terrell, a prominent colored resident of Washington and judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia; Harry Cummins, a member of the Councils of Baltimore, Md.; Major R. R. Molton and Dr. Jesse Jones of Hampton, Va.; Hon. W. H. Lewis, a prominent attorney of Massachusetts and assistant United States District Attorney of Boston; Dr. John R. Francis of Washington, D. C.; Dr. Samuel E. Courtney, of Boston; Dr. E. C. Howard, of Philadelphia; Henry T. Pratt, of Baltimore, third vice-president of the National Business Men's League, and Thomas Fortune, formerly editor of the New York Age; Editor Oliver Randolph W. Calvin Chase, Jr., of The Bee; W. Sidney Pittman. The opening number on the program was a selection by Wright's orchestra after which invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Hubert W. Wells of St. Andrew's church. The recessional was then sung by Harry T. Burleigh, with Leon S. Adger as accompanist. Mr. Burleigh fairly made the theatre ring with his deep baritone voice. Mayor J. Harvey Spruance was to have made the opening address, but owing to an indisposition he could not attend and James L. Banning, president of City Council, made the welcoming address. Mr. Banning said in part: "His honor, Mayor Spruance, accepted the invitation to welcome Dr. Washington, but owing to a temporary indisposition, which is of immaterial character, but nevertheless very painful, he is unable to be present. "In the absence of the mayor, it is customary for the president of the City Council to assume the mayor's place in any official duty that may transpire. "Consequently Mayor Sprunce requested me to come before you and express the regret that he feels by reason of his enforced absence, and extend the city welcome to Dr. Washington, whose life-long devotion to the uplifting of his people entitles him to universal respect. He is one who, rising to the necessities that so strongly appealed to him, having first raised himself by force of his own executive ability from a condition of seeming helplessness and friendlessness, such as words can scarcely describe, he then planned it as his life work to educate and uplift his people that they might be better men and better women, and well indeed will it be for them, if in appreciation of his life-long devotion, they shall accept Dr. Washington as their highest standard of excellence, giving heed and response to his precepts and earnest endeavor so far at least as lies in the power of each, to emulate his worthy example. "Recognizing Dr. Washington as the benefactor of his people, the city administration welcomes his presence to-day, and commensus him to his Wilmington audience." Mr. Banning's remarks were greeted with great applause and Mr. Burleigh then sang a solo. "The Corn Solo." Following that Governor Pennewill made the introductory address. In the course of his remarks, the governor paid a high tribute to Dr. Washington, pointing to him as the beacon of light for the race and described him as an example for all those present to follow. Dr. Washington was then introduced and it was several minutes before the audience ceased applauding. He stepped lightly to the front of the stage and immediately paid a tribute to Dr. Elbert and his co-workers for their masterful arrangements. The speaker held his audience by his ready wut, illustrating his remarks by numerous stories, and while they at times kept the crowd in an uproar, the speaker did not loose his theme, but changed quickly to the subject of his address, the regeneration of his race. In the course of his remarks, which lasted for over two hours, he paid a fine compliment to T. Thomas Fortune, whom the speaker said has, for a quarter of a century, carried on a mighty fight for his people. Mr. Washington's address was as follows: "I wish to thank my friend and your fellow-citizen, Dr. S. G. Elbert, and the members of the Business League and other citizens who have worked with Dr. Elbert and the league, for their hard and untiring work in preparing for the series of meetings, which we are now holding in the State of Delaware. I also wish to thank the large company of distinguished and successful men from other states who have left their business and have come into the State of Delaware at this time, for the purpose of giving our people the benefit of their presence and to speak words of encouragement at these meetings. "I have but one object in coming to the State of Delaware, and that is to see for myself, something of the condition and needs of the masses of my people in this state. In the State of Delaware at the present time there are between 35,000 and 40,000 colored people. As compared with other states this is not a large number, but it is a sufficient number to hurt or hinder the progress of the negroes in other states. Because of the small territory covered by this State, it is possible for the 35,000 or 40,000 negroes to get together and by wise and conservative action in pulling together, to set an example in the way of progress that can be followed by other states. Thirty-five thousand people united, harmonious, working together with a single end in view, can accomplish almost miracles in the way of racial improvement. Thirty-five thousand colored people, on the other hand, who are not taking advantage of the opportunities that are right about them, can accomplish much in keeping themselves back and setting a bad example for other portions of our country. "There are some fundamental things in the life of every race that must be settled as speedily as possible. One is the matter of permanent abode. As speedily as possible we should reach a decision where we are going to live, where we are going to plant ourselves, and having reached that decision we should settle down and live in one community as a permanent, helpful part of that community. "While I do not know in detail what the conditions are in this state, Continued on Page 4. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY JULY 9 1910 SPEECH DELAWARE JULY 104 SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH F.M. Gossie DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Bill Of Particulars Bill Of Particulars OUR BILL OF PARTICULARS. From the Atlanta Independent. Possibly the public is advised of the Independent's indictment against the average editor of the church official organ and of The Star of Zion, pleading to our indictment. The Star of Zion, which felt called upon by reason of its record to make answer called upon us last week to cite a single case where it failed to denounce the un-Christian conduct of one of its high church functionaries, and we are in court this week with the following citations in answer to this challenge: "This paper has long ago won its place and established its good name. It has never failed to speak out openly and fearlessly, and now since the Independent has the courage, or better, the bluff to charge us with dereliction of duty will please come forward and cite the case, or cases, when high functionaries of our church were guilty of things un-Christian. Come up with the facts, Bro. Davis, we wait your proof." Citations. First: You stood silently by and possibly were financially benefited during the campaign of 1908, when a chief functionary of your church hartered and sold his Episcopal influence and those of his connection, so far as lie in his power, to the Democratic party for self and plunder. Second: We charge that The Star of Zion stood silently by and did not protest when a chief functionary of your church demanded of "Fingy Connors," chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee, $60,000, as pay for the Episcopal influence and finally settled with "Fingy" Connors for ten per cent. of the original demand. New York Age—Fred Moore. Odd Fellows Journal—J. C. bury. Criticism. Third: We allege that you did not protest or call it un-Christian conduct in a chief functionary of your church on a certain occasion, when he visited the Hoffman House during the campaign to see Chairman Mack. Mr Mack, being absent, was met by a long, lanky Texan, who ordered one of your Bishops to take his hat off, referred, to him as "darky," and said "Mr. Mack is not here and you fellows called at the wrong hour. Boys, it will be alright, but it is not the hour we trade with darkies." Fourth: We allege you neither protested or felt humiliated when a chief functionary of your church associated himself with and became the political chum of Sy Bell, the chief of the Negro Tammyah Hall Democracy. Fifth: We allege that The Star of Zion did not protest when an agent of a chief functionary of your church, after having entered into a deal with the Democratic party to deliver to the A. M. E. Zion negroes throughout the country for a miserable mess of pottage, went over to the Republican headquarters and offered to repudiate the deal with the Democratic party and deliver the church to the Republican party if the Republican party would double the boodle offered by Norman Mack, and the only reason that the deal was not consummated, Rev. J. Milton Walton said he was satisfied with his trade with the Democrats and if the chief functionary and his agents in your church undertook to repudiate the deal, he would expose their atrocities. Sixth: We allege in proof that you had knowledge of and agreed to, and was a party to the above un-Christian conduct on the part of a high-functionary of your church, that The Star of Zion supported, and you voted for the party of Tillman, Vardeman and Jeff Davis of Arkansas. You actually swallowed and supported the party of Hoke Smith and disfranchisement, 322 DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Wright. Afro-American Ledger—I. H. Murp As- phy. Philadelphia Courant-A. Colwell. and it did not make you sick of the stomach. Brother Clement says he has never heard of one un-Christian act of any high functionary of his church. Well, this is information for you, and if you can find anybody who will believe your story or believe that you were not influenced to support Bryan for money, we stand ready to apologize. It is problematical in America that a negro is a Democrat by the job and for a price, and every time the white man wants him to vote a Democrat ticket, he has to hire him over and make a new contract. Will Editor Clement tell how much money he received from the National Democratic Committee for editorial service? Possibly it is not un-Christian for high church functionaries in Bro. Clement's church to sell their influence for money. It all depends upon Bro. Clement's moral sensibilities. Negro Exposition The defeat of the negro exposition resolution in the House of Representatives, because of its failure to receive two-thirds vote for calling it up under a suspension of rules, has not discouraged Congressman Rodenberg in the least. Mr. Rodenberg, who is chairman of the House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, said that the votes in opposition to the resolution came entirely from the Democratic side of the House, and that the race has no particular reason to feel discouraged. He also stated that it is his purpose to bring out a bill at the December session of Congress providing for holding the exposition, and securing consideration on Calendar Wednesday, when only a majority vote will be necessary to pass it. He believed it would be an easy matter to get this majority in a Republican Congress. Read The Bee. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B.

The case of Chiles versus the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, decided by the Federal Supreme Court in an opinion handed down Tuesday, establishes the principle enunciated in 1885 in the Circuit Court of Tennessee that for members of different races separate accommodations may be provided in public conveyances, if the accommodations be equally good. The colored passenger Chiles traveled from the City of Washington on a through ticket between states to Lexington, Ky. The law of Kentucky required that he be placed in a "Jim Crow" car after passing within the State's confines, and this, also, was in accordance with the railroad company's rules. On April 16, 1907, the decision of the Circuit Court in this case, now confirmed, declared that a railroad company may, independently of a State law, adopt and enforce rules requiring colored persons, although they are inter-State passengers, to occupy separate coaches. This opinion practically reverses the decision of the Supreme Court in 1875 in the case of Hall versus Decuir wherein a "Jim Crow" act of Louisiana was declared unconstitutional on the ground that it presumed to refute the conduct of carriers engaged in inter-State commerce. The present decision reveals the influence of the change in public opinion since the reconstruction era; it justifies both the law and compliance with it by the carrier, and permits the rest of the Southern States to amend their "Jim Crow" laws after the example of Kentucky. The Southern legislatures, thwarted during the first years following the civil war in their efforts to separate negroes from whites in public conveyances, have gradually passed laws to this effect in every State save Missouri, and the courts have sustained them. Oklahoma was restrained from incorporating the principle in its Constitution by the threat of President Roosevelt. But Oklahoma now has its "Jim Crow" statute. On the other hand, the courts of the South are careful to require that the accommodations afforded to negro citizens shall be equal, though not identical, and the harsher penalties have been taken from the original enactments. It is admitted, even, that "Jim Crow" is not an opprobrious epithet since its origin has been traced to the dramatic song and negro dance of that name which Thomas D. Rice, the first negro minister, made famous in 1835. If you treat your friends right you can always depend on them in the time of need. General U S.

Trade's Talons Not to Grip Famous Champs Elysees. Not Even a Philharmonic Palace Will Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thoroughfare and Children's Paradise Along Its Course. Paris.—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved as an artistic promenade and a children's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal council of Paris. The council not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct summer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, looking to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flourishing there. This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman looses his pursestrings without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 12 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threatened by an aroused populace. The single track across the driveway has always been regarded as a scar. It is not improbable that in a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tunnel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the city already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehicles or marring the beauty of the thoroughfare through the construction of viaducts. The first of these suburbs Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy ttreets, notably the grand boulevards. The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Cours at first and was given its present name in the time of Louis XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile long and is lined from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, lime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite afternoon drive of the fashionable world of Paris, and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side is a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-go-rounds and chocolate vendors. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while is bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the bables. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the "lungs" of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of importance in the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where there are great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point. An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre III. and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees is the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon L. Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander I. and Duc de Berril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bois de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Arc the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famous woods. HISTORIC VIRGINIAHOME House Where George Washington's Mother Lived and Died at Fredericksburg Still Standing. Washington.—Not many tourists visit the house in which the mother of George Washington lived and died in Fredericksburg, Va. The Washingtons, or the branch of that large Washington family which played so great a role in American history, left the Pope's Creek's farm, later called "Wakefield," in Westmoreland county, about three years after the birth of George Washington. The family removed to another Washington farm in Stafford county on the north bank of the Rappanhannock river, opposite Fredericksburg. It was there that much of the boyhood of Washington was spent. It was there that the mythical exploits of chooping down Where Mother of George Washington Died. the cherry tree, etc., were performed. After George Washington and his brothers had left this farm and after the marriage of Betty Washington to MaJ. Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg, Mrs. Mary Washington bought a cottage in Fredericksburg, close to "Kenmore," the home of her daughter, and resided there many years. She died in that cottage August 25, 1789. The cottage is a plain two-story frame dwelling standing at the corner of Charles and Lewis streets—two village streets deep in dust or mud according to the weather. The house is heavily shaded by old sycamore trees and is furnished with Washington and other Virginia relics. It is owned and cared for by the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The superintendent is R. C. Beals, who with his wife, occupies the house. The big living room on the ground floor and to the left of the entrance is that in which Mrs. Washington died. As nearly as possible it is preserved as Mrs. Washington kept it. A rare old mahogany tester bed stands on that part of the floor where stood Mrs. Washington's bed. The original bed is owned by a member of the Washington family. The walls are lined with steel engravings which belonged to Mrs. Washington, and some of these were her property when she was Mary Ball, before her marriage to Augustine Washington, and came from her girlhood's home, "Epping Forest," in Lancaster county, about thirty miles from Fredericksburg. The room in the rear of this living and sleeping room was the dining-room, and the same table around which the Washingtons ato stands in the middle of the floor. The dining-room is bare of carpets or rugs and was in Mrs. Washington's time. The furnishings are plain and simple. HEADS BANKERS' ASSOCIATION Lewis E.

The Corriere of Rome, which published some time ago a copy of a document said to have been found in the library at Bergamo containing an account of "an airship voyage across the English channel in 1751," is receiving much attention at the hands of investigators. In the Tribune's notice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk named Grimaldi, of Civita Vecchia, was the chief actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Italian paper's article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. "Now," writes an Englishman from Rome, "the records of Civita Vecchia are being searched in vain for a Grimaldi and the papers of England for a story of the flight. The document may be in the library, but who was the practical joker who placed it there?"—New York Tribune. According to daily press reports wireless telephony has not proved an unqualified success on the battleship fleet. It was impossible to send messages over any great distance except under the most favorable conditions and when the telephone was in use the telegraph had to keep silent. False Doctrine. The late Dr. Theodore Wolf, professor of chemistry at Delaware college, set officeholders a rare example of unselfishness by having his fees as state chemist greatly reduced on the ground that they were exorbitant. "Dr. Wolf," said a Newark man, "was a delightful lecturer. I often dropped into the college to hear him. I'll never forget one of his lectures on quack medicines. "He told us about an early patient of his, a man who dosed himself with about a half-peck of pills and two or three gallons of quack medicine every week. "There was nothing the matter with the fool, but all this silly medicine swilling, and Dr. Wolf told him so, but it did no good. "Then Dr. Wolf appealed to the man's wife to stop him, but she declared that it couldn't be done. She had quoted at him, again and again, she said, the verse in the liturgy that pointed out his sin, and— "But where," interrupted Dr Wolf, bewildered, "where does the liturgy say anything against taking quack medicine?"

There are many co'ored families who are living in crowded houses on small plots of land in towns or cities who want real freedom and real opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is very difficult to rear children in a crowded town or city. The place to rear children is in the country. In Macon County, Alabama, the colored people have a rare and exceptional opportunity. This is the county in which The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located. There is plenty of good land for sale on easy terms. There is a good schoolhouse, and the school term lasting from seven to eight months in every part of the county. The white people in Macon County are of the very best class. There is no disorder or racial trouble. We advise colored people who are now living in crowded towns or cities, in the North or in the South, and especially those who have children to raise to come to Macon County and buy a home where they can get plenty of land to cultivate and rear their families in the county free from the temptations of the cities and towns.

If years ago, when slavery's poisonous tentacles reached out and, along with the fair South, embraced the State through which the Brandywine peacefully flows, some one had predicted that on July 4, 1910, a special train would speed, bearing fifty lofty-purposed, carnest negroes, lead by that marvel of the age, that apostle of peace, industry and optimism. Dr. Booker T. Washington an inquest to determine the sanity of the prophet would have been ordered. But true it is that last Monday, July 4th, over the Pennsylvania Railroad, down and up through the fruited, peach-freighted State of Delaware, a special train sped bearing Dr. Washington and fifty others of his race, who bore to his people in the various cities and towns at which stops were made, wholesome advice on industry, sobriety, providence and honesty, and to the white race a plea for fair play, for encouragement for the brother in black who must live among them and toil beside them year in and year out. At every stop, from Wilmington to Georgetown and back, great crowds of whites and blacks flocked to see and to hear the one leader of his race, Dr. Booker T. Washington, earnestly plead, at the bar of fairness, the cause of the weak and the strong. The trip, epochal as it is, made sunshine where there was gloom: gave hopes where there were fears; gave encouragement where there was indifference, and awakened both races to a truer sense of the duty each owes to the other. It was a triumphant entry into and through the State of Delaware, and this entry will make for good, as do all the efforts of that strong, powerful, simple, earnest, unsellish leader of his people. DR. VERNON'S RETENTION. The Bee is pleased to note that Register W. T. Vernon will be continued in office. This is particularly gratifying to us, because of the splendid record he has made as an office-holder, and the impression he has created, not alone in this city, but throughout the country. He came to us four years ago, a new mar in official life, and immediately allied himself with the best forces of the community. His voice and influence have been given to those things which are helpful, and on all sides we hear words of approval. He has traveled throughout the country as an orator and delivered addresses on various occasions, and whether speaking before religious bodies, Y. M. C. A. gatherings, on the stump, or at Commencement exercises, the race has been edified and uplifted because of that which he had to say. His work in the last campaign was very effective. President Taft is to be commended by the best thought of the race for his retention, and the race is to be congratulated. As we before said, this is gratifying to us, not alone because of the splendid capabilities of Mr. Vernon, and the things for which he stands, but because of the fact that we early championed his cause and find that after having served his full term, he receives the apprehension. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." This paper is not given to flattery, and if it is merely doing that which is just and proper, and voicing the expressions of our people generally throughout the country. Again renewing our congratu- lations to the Register, we wish him continued success. THE RALP W. TYLER PRIZES. The committee having in charge the competition for the Tyler prizes, under the auspices of the Howard Park Citizens' Association, will make a special report on the matter at the regular meeting of the Association on Monday evening, the 11th instant. Under the lead of Mrs. Pelham, the committee has mapped out a well-defined plan of competition and the whole neighborhood is deeply interested in the work. It will be remembered that Hon. Ralph W. Tyler very generously offered a prize of fifteen dollars for the best kept grounds of any residence within the territory covered by the Howard Park Citizens' Association, and that the committee in charge of it has sought to enlist the whole neighborhood in the competition, with a view to beautifying the front and back yards and gardens, and to effecting a thorough improvement in the sanitary conditions surrounding the homes. The contestants are expected to be present at this meeting and hear what each other is doing, so that the competition may be sharpened and the real benefits of the movement extended. These meetings are held regularly on the second Monday evening in each month at Rev. Wiseman's church, and the public are cordially invited to attend them all. WHAT A FOLLY. Because Jack Johnson defeated Jim Jeffries, certain officials in certain towns have been appealed to not to allow the pictures of this fight to be placed on exhibition in the moving picture shows. What folly! As a well-known and representative citizen said to a representative of the Bee a few days ago, that there are separate moving picture theatres among the whites and blacks in this country, and certainly the whites, if they fight, will fight among themselves, and the blacks will do likewise. How can there be a clash between the races under the circumstances? This gentleman said further and the Bee agrees with him, that when "The Clansman" was advertised to exhibit in this city, the colored people appealed to the authorities to stop it, for fear of race antagonism. "The Clansman" was exhibited, and no one was killed and the world moved along just the same. "What fools these mortals be." Let the pictures be shown, and if the whites get mad with themselves and fight themselves, they are to blame. The blacks, on the other hand, will shout among themselves only. What folly. THE TEACHERS' CONTEST. The Bee's teachers' contest has come to a close and those who worked so faithfully for the prizes deserve credit. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen how the teachers stand in the popularity contest. All preparations have been made by the management with the proprietors of the Ginnage House at Atlantic City, for the entertainment of the teachers who have won in the recent contest. The successful contestants are Miss Beatriz L. Chase, teacher of music, Miss Mary E. Willson and Miss Elfrida Kennedy. The contest from the start seemed to be between these three teachers, Miss Emma McGinnis made a very good run towards the last, and had her friends exerted themselves at the beginning as they did latterly, undoubtedly she would have gotten the third prize. The Bee congratulates the three successful teachers. MOB VIOLENCE The most intense race prejudice was the occasion of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight. This city was a scene of the most bitter race feeling. The police could not handle the mob. Hundreds of fights were allowed to go on, and dozens of colored citizens were assaulted almost under the eyes of the police without being molested. Of course, the defeat of Jeffries was a bitter pill for a prejudiced class to swallow. The more thoughtful white people took in the situation as they would take in anything else. The white man cannot expect always to be in the front rank without competition, and we all should look at things this way. NOT BENEFITED. The Colorado Statesman says: "The more fearlessly a people use the ballot the less liable are they to lose that or any other right." True. A voteless citizen, like the editor of the Washington Bee, is at the mercy of them which vote. —Philadelphia Tribune. The editor of the Philadelphia Tribune was honored by the votes of his people, but how much was he benefited? A gigantic failure and a tool for the bosses. The voteless citizen of Washington has more power than the negro Pennsylvania voter. OUR NEXT CONTEST OUR NEXT CONTEST. The Bee's next contest, which it hopes to present shortly, will be for an automobile to the preacher who receives the largest number of votes over a stated number. The automobile to cost not less than $700, 1910 make. If a sufficient number of preachers will enter the contest, The Bee is ready to receive their names. The Fight. The great fight between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries has ended in: a slaughter of the latter. A few days ago American white prejudice was high, and the often repeated declaration was, the white man must win, Jeffries must win the fight for the white people. There were some few who advocated and demanded a fair deal. The press of the country with but few exceptions, endeavored to convince the sporting world that Jeffries was the master of the situation. The Bee takes this occasion to commend the Washington Herald for its fair and impartial comment, report and prediction as to the outcome of this great fight between two men of the opposite race. There was no paper in this country, with no exception, that treated this colored fighter with fairer consideration than the Washington Herald. The Bee takes exception to the comment of Mr. Rex Beach when he says: "He demonstrated further (meaning Johnson) that his race has acquired full stature as men. Whether he will ever breed brains to match his muscles is yet to be proven." If this writer is acquainted with history and if he is now a historian of existing events, he ought to know that the colored man is the equal to the white man in every particular, and he will demonstrate his equality on educational and other lines if he is given the same opportunity as Johnson was given. Johnson demonstrated his superiority over the alleged greatest nugget in the entire civilized world. Mr. Johnson throughout the contest acted the part of a gentleman and a man. The promoters of the fight acted on the level. Notwithstanding Johnson's drawbacks, which were many, he came out the victor. Sam Langford, like all other narrow controlled individuals among the colored people, from what he said, wanted Johnson defeated. Mr. Johnson will do well not to satisfy the vanity and imaginary greatness of this man by giving him an opportunity of a fight with him. Mr. Jeffries has been boasting too much. His only thought was to defeat the "nigger." The Washington Herald was more of an expert in predicting the winner than all of the old stagers in the game. In many cities and towns were quite a number of small riots. Not since the days of suffrage, when colored men attempted to vote the Democratic tickets, did this city show such scenes as it did last Monday night. The white rufians showed their teeth and attacked almost every colored person they saw upon the public streets. It was strange that these self same individuals failed to meet a few denizens of Bloodfield or Hellsbottom, certainly there would have been something doing sure enough. Washington's Mission. Booker T. Washington's visit to Delaware is to be a memorable incident. He came here for the purpose of seeing for himself, so far as it was possible in a short time, what is the condition of the people of his race. He brought for them a message of hope and he gave them words of advice. No other man understands better the needs and the opportunities of the negroes than does Mr. Washington. He has risen from the lowest ranks to the position of one who is known the world over for his remarkable achievements and his astonishing executive capacity. Not a man of letters, and handicapped by the fact that his skin is dark, he nevertheless revealed himself as one gifted as but few are gifted. Of a practical and hard-headed nature, he was able to discover and to put into effect a method whereby it was to be made possible to lift the poor and ignorant negroes from the slough of ignorance and shiftlessness and inaction. He began with the boys and girls. He sought to train first their hands and then their brains. His one thought was to educate the children of the negroes to know the value of industry by teaching them to be industrious, and at the same time to so shape their minds to take up work that would count in the sum total of progress. He sought to remove the blight of indulgence by making the plainest of the plain people self-respecting and self-supporting. He knew that the hands that did not work were a menace, and he realized that work along intelligent lines meant a better and a happier people. For years he struggled alone with his school at Tuskegee—without money and without much moral support from others. But the time came when white men understood what he was striving to do, and into his hands have been turned hundred of thousands of dollars, and without any security asked for the proper expenditure of the fortunes placed at his disposal. He was trusted and he has never betrayed the trust. To-day he is known the world over as a practical philanthropist and a missionary inspired by that peculiar zeal which goes to make the great and useful man. This plan negro stands before the world as one who saw great possibilities and sought to develop them. He has been welcomed by Presidents of the United States, he has been encouraged by educators of the highest standing, he has been supplied with money freely and he has given a good accounting of his trust. The records of the boys who have been trained at the Tuskegee school reveals but few individual failures, perhaps a lower percentage of failures than is shown by the records of any college or university in the country. There has been no thought of social equality. The design of Booker T. Washington is not to break down the lines between the whites and the negroes and put them on the same social footing. He deprecates any thought of that kind. His mission is solely to make the negroes—by taking the boys in hand—understand that they must work, be clean and law-abiding. Work is the salvation of the negroes—and of the whites—and work along practical lines. Every negro boy who is taught to plant and grow crops, who is educated to the use of his hands in producing something of use, who is incultured with the idea that idleness is wrong and that industry is right, to become a missionary among the millions of negroes who are in need of a helping hand. The foundation of the Tuskegee school theory is that the primary principle of thrift is the basis of better conditions. Thus it is that Booker T. Washington came to Delaware to preach the doctrine of self-respect, self-reliance, and to tell his people what they can do and what they must do if they can to rise above the popular estimate placed upon them by the dominant race. It is to be a long campaign of training, and when Booker T. Washington shall have passed on, the work will be just begun. What is already a matter of record is known to the world, but the work must continue. And through no better agency than Tuskegee school can the problem of the negro be solved. If the present generation of negroes is morally and physically better than the preceding generation, the next generation must be even better. The stupendous task assumed by Booker T. Washington would have—and in fact it did—stun those who could not see what was needed. It remained for the one plain black man to step to the fore. He was in earnest, and now he is in a position that enables him to go on. Yet there is an ever increasing need of more help, and he never fails to get it. Everybody who strengthens the hands of Booker T. Washington has the knowledge that they are aiding in one of the greatest branches of philanthropic work. in this country, perhaps in the world. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON (Continued from first page.) I do know that in other states much is lost by reason of the fact that too large a number of our people move from one community to the other, from one state to the other; in a word, in many cases they are a shifting group of people and unsettled. Every father and mother owes it not only to themselves but to their children. I repeat, to select a spot somewhere that they can call their own, and settle down there and plant themselves and make a reputation for industry, for thrift, for economy and sober, upright living. A man who is in Wilmington this month, in Philadelphia next month, in Washington another month, cannot accomplish much. In this state you have the advantage of a good climate, a good soil, and are surrounded by a class of white people who are willing to help and encourage you in every way possible. Here, in my opinion, is the place for you to settle down and make a permanent abiding place. "It is true of the colored race, as it is true of most races, that the great mass of our people earn their living by the work of their hands. For a number of years I have preached the doctrine of the dignity of labor. No race of people can make much progress until those people have become thoroughly imbued with the idea that all forms of labor are dignified and should be encouraged. The idea of the dignity of labor or the disgrace of idleness, should be taught to our children, should be taught around the fireside, should be taught in every church and in every public school. "People who are in the habit of employing large numbers of our people as laborers often complain to me that while the negro in certain respects is a satisfactory laborer, that he is not reliable, that he will not keep his word when he has promised to be at a place of labor at a given hour or a given day. I often hear complaints that the negro laborer will not return to his place of labor on Monday morning if he has been paid off on Saturday night, until all the cash has been spent. If that in any degree, is true of our people in this city or in this State, I want to impress upon you the importance of changing this reputation for our race. "And then in all matter of labor, whether it relates to work on the farm or in a factory or in household work, whether cooking or laundering or what not, the time has come when the negro cannot hold his place in the world of labor unless he makes progress. That means he must put brains and skill into every line of work. The kind of service that would satisfy twenty years ago on the farm will not be satisfactory to-day. The kind of service that would satisfy twenty years ago in the kitchen will not satisfy to-day. In all these respects, progress, new methods, new implements, new ideas, are entering in and the negro must make progress or he will lose the position that he now holds. "The minister, the lawyer, the doctor, the school teacher, in my hearing may ask, what has all this to do with us? I answer that the success of the professional class of our people depends upon the success of the hard working classes of our people. If the common negro laborer loses his job because of inefficiency, he is not able to support the church or the school or the lawyer or the doctor in the degree that he was before. The professional classes prosper in proportion as the laboring classes prosper. "Of equal importance is the cultivation of the habit of learning to save that which we earn. While I do not know the exact amount of property owned by the 35,000 colored people in the State of Delaware, I will venture the suggestion that if the majority of our race in this State had cultivated as they should have done the habit of saving every dollar which they were not compelled to spend since the day of freedom, that in this State you would own from three to four times as much property as you now own. In too large a measure throughout this country our race has the reputation of not being economical, of not being a race that saves its dollars. We are tempted too largely to spend all that we get, and sometimes more that we get at the end of every week or at the end of every month. "With all the emphasis that I can command, I want to urge upon the colored people throughout the State of Delaware from this time forth to begin the saving habit. If you have not a bank account, start one at once. If you can only not a few dollars in the bank at a time, begin a bank account, and you will be surprised at the end of the year to see how much you can accumulate. "I want to urge parents to teach their children the saving habit. Let every child wherever possible have his bank account. "If you have not purchased a home, do not rest satisfied until you have made a contract for the buying of a home and have paid for that home. Many of you have thrown away within the last few years enough money to have purchased several homes. "And then, in a State like Delaware, there is no reason why a larger number of colored people should not go into business just as the white man does. There is no reason why in a large degree we should not learn a lesson from the foreigners, who flock into this and other states. Learn lessons of saving habits from the Greeks, from the Italians, who come into communities in Delaware and start business with almost nothing, but by hard work, close economy, within a You can often get better results by encouraging an individual than by too much adverse criticism, and the same is too often said that all colored peo should be drawn between the good colored man and the bad colored man. It is too often true in the newspapers and in public speeches that all colored people are clad together. It is too often said that all colored people in a community are lazy, all are criminal, all are shiftless. Such expressions discourage those who are trying to lead correct lives. A distinction should be made. Those who are trying to lead correct lives should be held up as examples, and it should be said more often than it is that some colored people are bad, but many are trying to lead good lives. When good and bad are classed together, as is too often true, such expressions, as those to which I have referred, tend to discourage those who are trying to do the right things. Throughout the State of Delaware I am glad to note that there are colored people who are living successful clean, upright lives. You have many in the city of Wilmington and elsewhere. We want to increase that number. There are colored men and women in Wilmington who, in business, who, in their moral lives, are people that any race should be proud of. "Throughout the South I have noted an increasing disposition on the part of the best white people to feel a responsibility for the salvation of the negro in their own community. It is just as important that time and work and money be given toward the elevation of the negro by our side, as it is to spend effort in lifting up the people in Africa, China, Japan or any foreign country. The best type of white people are not afraid to let the world know that they are interested in the progress of the negro. The best type of white people are no longer frightened away from trying to help the negro by the bugbear of social intermingling. "Let me add that throughout this country the negro is making immense progress. There is nothing to discourage us. We are making progress in getting land, in building homes, in saving money, in going into business. We are making progress in education, and we are also making progress despite statements to the contrary, in the type of white people who are not afraid or ashamed of the fact that they are interested in the development of the negro race." At the close of Mr. Washington's address, Mr. Burleigh sang a solo, after which the Rev. Alexander Alion, Jr., pronounced benediction, and while the orchestra played national airs, the audience filed out.

The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion, the dining-room, where refreshments were served, being handsomely trumped with sweet peas, intermingled with small American flags on the table. In the receiving line were Dr. and Mrs. Elbert, Dg. Washington and Mrs. John R. Francis, of Washington, D. C. They were assisted by a number of young men of this city and an enjoyable evening was spent by the guests whiling away the time with music. Among the guests were the Hon. Charles B. Lore, William P.

The party left Wilmington in a special train at 6:30 and went direct to Georgetown where a meeting was held in the courthouse square, presided over by Congressman Burton, who, after prayer by Rev. J. W. Morrishow, introduced Judge Confrad, who in turn introduced Dr. Washington Leaving Georgetown, the next stop was at Milford where an address was made before a large and enthusiastic crowd of both races.

Following the Dover meeting, the party stopped at Clayton, where an address was made from the rear platform of the special. The last stop was at Middletown, where a meeting was held on the Academy grounds. After invocation by Rev. J. M Anters, Dr. Washington was introduced by Rev. T. H. Moore.

After a triumphal trip through the State, the educational tour of Delaware came to a close last night at an informal reception at the residence of Dr. S. G. Elbert, Eleventh and King streets, given in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his colleagues. While it was intended to have a banquet in the Colored Odd Fellows' Temple at Tenth and Orange street, the affair was postponed owing to the sudden death of Dorsey Hoxton, the well-known caterer and a member of the league, under whose auspices the meetings were held. The party arrived shortly after five o'clock last evening and the reception continued from then until an early hour this morning. The dining-room was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and covers were laid for fifty guests. As the guests gathered around the festive board, Wright's orchestra, concealed behind an immense bank of palms, furnished music of a patriotic order. Short talks were made by those present, and the evening was enjoyably spent. During the day the members of the party, which made the tour of the State, met and adopted the following letter, which was presented to the members of the league in Delaware, under whose charge the meetings were held: "Wilmington, Del., July 4, 1910. "To Dr. S. G. Elbert, and the other members of the Business Men's League of Wilmington, Del." "Gentlemen: We beg to thank you most cordially for the splendid hospitality which you have extended to us during the two days we have spent in the State of Delaware as your guests. "Our visits to the several cities and towns to which you have taken us have been full of pleasure and interest. Everywhere the kindness, courtesy and hearty reception on the part of the citizens' of Delaware, both black and white, have been all that could be desired. "We are delightfully surprised at the prosperity and contentment which the colored people of your State appear to enjoy. We are deeply gratified to observe the pleasant relationship which exists between the white and colored people in Delaware, and trust that nothing will ever happen to mar this condition. "We have thoroughly enjoyed the strong and instructive speediness which our great leader, Dr. B. R. T. Washington, has delivered to the people, and we have been wonderfully impressed with the enthusiasm that his eloquent words have caused among all classes of his heroes. It is our belief that every man and every woman who has been fortunate enough to listen to his words, has a clearer idea of their duty in solving the problems of life than they had Continued to page five.

Here First Clearing-House Certificates Were Issued and First Counterfeiting Was Done. City of Mexico.--The ancient Church of Landin, one mile west of Saltillo, Mexico, is fast crumbling to ruins. It has a history that is in some respects the most remarkable of any church edifice on the continent. It was erected in 1532 by a devout priest of the Roman Catholic church, who was sent among the Indians of Spain's new possessions to convert them to the religion which had been brought across the sea by Cortez and his followers. The priest soon surrounded ```markdown ``` Rulns of Church of Landin in Mexico. the church with a colony of Spaniards and Indians. They went through a period of great privation on account of crop failures and the losses of their live stock by an epidemic of disease. A store of food supplies was sent to their relief from the City of Mexico, and the priest received permission direct from the king of Spain to establish a crude mint for coling copper money for the relief of the financial condition of the colony. These coins were cut in triangular shape and were issued to the Indians and members of the colony with the promise that they would be redeemed, coin for coin, by the government when the settlement became prosperous. These copper pieces were perhaps the first clearing-house certificates ever issued. The Indians, however, brought the financial relief scheme to a sudden end by counterfeiting great numbers of the copper pieces, which they presented for redemption. The priest became alarmed at the unlawful infiation of his circulating medium and fled from the country to avoid possible punishment at the hands of the government. In after years the parish of this ancient church established a copper smelter and engaged in mining and smelting copper ore on a large scale. The slag pile of this ancient smelter was found not far from the church a few years ago and the smelter at Saltillo bought and treated the slag at a good profit. An American contractor who built a railroad near the church made the owner of the property an offer of $1,000 for the corner-stone in the building. It is said to contain ancient relics of almost priceless value. The offer was refused. At present the interior of this church is used as a corral for goats.

He recently completed the handsomest home in Nevada, costing $500,000. He was prominently connected with the tariff bill passed at the recent special session of congress. Saving the North Woods It will be a great satisfaction to those who are fighting for the preservation of the Adirondack forests to learn that the first two of the rollburning locomotives to be used have proved signal successes. The only complaint against them is based upon the rapidity with which oil makes steam, but this is hardly a serious difficulty. If this reform can reduce the number of fires by 30 per cent. as is expected, it will prove the most effective means yet devised to prevent the devastation of the north woods by flames.—Troy (N. Y.) Record. "It has often been said that the negro was 'the white man's burden.' Rather it should be recognized that the negro is the co-laborer with the white man, in trying to make the country stronger." Ex-Governor Glenn, of North Carolina. We must work together if we'd be a nation strong. We must work together white and colored, one and all. We must work together, every man must do his part, Matters not what-race or color, each must have a willing heart; Each must give to each a "Square deal," stick together, stand or fall We must work together, white and colored, one and all. We must work together, hand and hand thru thick and thin, There's no time to quarrel or wrangle, if we would the victory win; Life's too short to fight each other on this old terrestrial ball. We must work together, white and colored, one and all. We must work together, live in union, peace and love Faith and work and brain and muscle will the greatest mountains move; Prejudice, unjust oppression, make the strongest nation fall. We must work together, white and colored, one and all. We must work together, all must strive to do their best. Matters not what treed or color, north or south or east or west; They who stand for truth and justice must not, will not, cannot fall. The sad-death of Miss Ida S. Countee, one of the teachers in the public schools, whose residence was 216 D St. S. W., and which occurred Friday, June 3, robs the southwest section of the city of one of its popular feminine citizens. She had been in bad health for several-years, during which time she was a sufferer, and had recently gotten so much worse that she was forced to remain home and was afterward compelled to retire to her bed which she never left alive. Miss Countee was one of those young ladies who possessed that amount of sunshine that compelled every one with whom she came in. She was born and reared in South Washington, receiving her early education in the public and high schools of the District of Columbia. She was appointed a teacher in the public schools several years ago, promoted from time to time, and was teaching the eighth grade at the time of her death. She was a faithful worker in the church and Sunday School, and other local departments of the church. She was also a member and faithful worker in other organizations. She was formerly the recording secretary of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, which position she held until ill health compelled her to resign; was secretary of the society known as "The Young Ladies," and also others. The funeral, which took place Tuesday, June 7th, from the Met. A. M. E. Z. Church, D St. between 2nd and 3rd Sts. S. W., of which she was a member, was the largest held from that church for several years. Long before the funeral procession arrived the big church was taved to her utmost capacity with societies, school children and friends of the deceased. Among those societies who turned out to pay the last tribute of respect, was the Blaine Invincible Auxiliary, the Young Ladies, and the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the above church. The floral tributes were of the largest variety of recent date, coming from various organizations and personal friends they almost hid the rostrum from view. Rev. W. A. Ray, the pastor, preached a most powerful sermon, in which he carefully reviewed the useful life of the deceased and urged others to follow her. Other speakers were Rev. P. A. Wallace, formerly the pastor of the church, and Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor of Zion Bantist Church. Interment was at Paines. She leaves a father, many sisters and brothers, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Grand Secretary James Field Needham, of Philadelphia, passed through this city en route to Richmond, Va. Mr. Wm. Haynes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, Treasury Department, has recently been promoted to a clerkship of class 4, which is a well merited promotion. In a New Home. Mr. Robert Campbell, who has conducted an undertaker's establishment with much success at 340 F street S W, has moved to his new home. 348 Second street S. W. Makinsey Scott's old place. This place has been remodeled and modern improvements added, which makes it one of the best undertaking places in the city. Mr. Campbell has spared no pains or expense to make this his new home attractive and convenient in every way. He has built a new stable in the rear of his house, equipped with elevators and telephone connections. There are four telephones, two in the stable and two in the house. So it can be seen that this young business man, who has been so successful in this particular line, is fully prepared to give the public quick and satisfactory service. Robert Campbell's success is an example and an inspiration to the young colored man in Washington who is willing to work for success.
