BOOKER WASHINGTON, sPEAKING OF
THE RACE QUESTION, TELLS A
STORY.
NEGRO.

In an address delivered recently in
New York city, Booker T. Washing
ton, principal OF the TuSkcegc, Ala,
Normal and Industrial Institute, gave
his view Of the solution Of the negro
problem in the south.
He maintained that the races were
bound together and were a community,
SO far as the nation is concerned.
In speaking Of the moral and rcIigi-
Gus life Of his W race, he said that
it was ali that could be expected after
their 80 years of slavery.
lie told an anecdOtc OF an old slave
who once reasoned that, as his body
belonged to the master, if he ate the
masters chickens the chickens still
were his and no theft had been com
United. His master demonstrated
with him for eating chicken shortly
after, and the slave replied: well,
massa. you'se got less chickens, but
yOu'Se got more nlggah
circumstances" he said, "some-
times forced the colored man to reason
similar nowadays. What the race
needs is a practical industrial train
ing, and as soon as brains are put
along with muscle in their work
creating an economic demand for thelI
services, the question OF the relations
of the white and colored people OF til,
south will be solved. What make
any class in any community interested
in any other class is the fact that on,
class has something, either business
culture or trade, that the other wants
"No man more strongly believes II
and loves the southern white maj
more than | do" he declared in con
clusion. 40 one section Of our coun
try can afford to cherish hatrcO
against another"

No one thing would do so much to
facilitate the settlement Of this county
and the development of its resources
as the establishment and maintenance
of telegraphic service, which would
afford to our chief centers of popula-
ton and trade the incalculable advan-
tages of means of instant communica-
ton with the great ''world at large"
A great many people in comfortable
circumstances are undoubtedly de-
ferred from settling upon our remak-
ably favored islands by the utter alb
sence of Geographic communication
with the main land. If Friday Har-
Dor, Roche Harbor and one or two
points on Lopez and Orcas were sup
piled with telegraphic communication
the needs of the people in this direction
could be further effectively supplied by
telephones ystems, which could be estab-
lished and maintained at comparatively
small cost. The business interests OF
the county ought to combine in an
earnest effort to secure this much need
ed improvement. THE ISLANDER will
be glad to receive and publish any
practical suggestions that its readers
may have to offer on the subject.

The Official Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, JULY Sth, 1897.

THERE was an interesting article on
Hawaii, "The Gem of the Pacific" in
the Post-Intelligencer of last Sunday,
by Frank G. Carpenter, one OF the best
known of the Washington City cores
pondents. His information was gath
cred from official sources and may
reasonably be considered reliable. Poor
men, or people of small means who
may be considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
migrating to the salubrious isles should
they become territory of the United
States, as is altogether probable, will
do we'll to note the unqualified state
ment that "the islands are no place for
poor men, common labOrers or clerks.
There are more bookkeepers and
copyists in Honolulu today than can
find employment. The Chinese, of
whom there are $4,000, and japanese,
$4,000, have not only ruined the white
labor market, but they have to a large
extent swallowed up the small bust
nesses. The natives, $1,000, also COM
pete in the labor Market He adds
further that "almost all the mechani-
cal trades are supplied by the Chinese
and japanese" In Honolulu, which
is most delightful city of upwards Of
$4,000 people, the cost of living is about
fifty per cent greater than it is in the
cities of this country. Sugar and coffee
raising are the chief Industries. 1T
costs enormously to raise sugar extern
sively and successfully. There are
about sixty sugar plantations on the
islands not one of which is capitalized
for less than 100000, and the money
invested in most of them runs into the
millions, and besides that it is said that
there is very little undeveloped sugar
land left. There is still, however, a
large area undeveloped which is adapt
ed to coffee raising, but even this re-
quires some thousands of dollars of
eapital and affords no opening for a
poor man. After all, the islands of
Puget Sound are hard to beat in the
advantages which they offer to people
of small means, or those in just COM
forta BILE circumstances. A heathful
and safubrious climate; no extremes of
heat or cold; pure water, abundant and
cheap fuel, and almost all the neces-
saries of life in the line of food supplies,
and many of the luxuries, to be had
at our very doors at the cost of little
labor or little money. What's the mat
ter with the San Juan islands; they're
all right

SENATOR JOHN l.. WILSON has pref
ty throughly demonstrated his almost
absolute control Of the federal patron
age in this state, and also his disregard
active and influential workers in the
ranks of his party in the state, if they
happen to run counter to his own
wishes. Apparently he has made up
his mind that his political sun has
reached its zenith and that whatever
additional political hay he makes for
himself and friends he must needs
make now. Upon no other theory can
we account for the appointments of his
most intimate personal friends to the
most important positions in the gift of
the government in this state, notwith-
standing the admittedly superior in
dorsements of other candidates. 1t is
not probable that Senator Wilson has
anything to lose by the course which
he has seen fit to follow, for his politi-
cal goose was done to rich brown
tint when Judge Turner, having the
very considerable advantage of large
ownership in the LIE Roi mine, sue
ceeded in securing the senatorial plum
which the legislature of last winter is
popularity supposed to have knocked
down to the highest bidder. The loss,
if any results, will fall upon the Re
publican party, which is not SO strong
that its leaders can afford to ignore the
desirability of greater unity and har.
mony, and the Importance of marshal.
ing its forces upon plane high enough
to command the respect and enlist the
support of the masses of the voters
THE ISLANDER has no axe to grind III
this matter. Its proprietors have not
sought for any seat at the pie counter
over which Senator Wilson presides
nor have they any personal grievance
against him on account of his marked
partiality towards intimate friends. II
simply takes the liberty to observe thai
it was an unfortunate turn of the
wheel of politics that gave the senator
virtual monopoly of the federal pat
ronage in this state and enabled hin
to discharge some of his most pressing
personal obligations in public coin, re
gardless of the well being of the party
to which he owes his own elevation in
public life.

THE State Universities of the west
have become powerful factors IN the
higher education of the common peo-
ple.u They are open to rich and poor
alike, and no boy or girl is denied the
full enjoyment of the great advantages
which they offer on account of race,
color, politics or religion. In the north
ern and western states from Ohio to
California there are twenty one state
universities, Ohio and Indiana having
two each, supported wholly or in part
by state aid. In eleven of these insti-
