suggestion1 Of Booker 7. Washington to
the Loulsiana constitutional Convsn-
tlon.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 30 Booker L.
Washington, prominent colored leader
and educator Of Tuskegee, Ala, in an
open letter to the constitutional con-
vention now In session in this city,
after explaining the motive which
prompted him to address the conven-
ton, among other things says:
Since the war no state has had such an OPP
portunlty to settle the race question, so far az
II concerns politics. as Is now given LOUISIANA
The negro agrees with you that 1t Is necessary
TO the salvation Of the south that restriction Dc
put upon the ballot know that you have two
serious problems before you. Ignorant ana cor
r,lpt government on one hand. and on the other
way to restrict the ballot so that control Will be
In the hands Of the intelligent without regard
to race With the slncerest sympathy with you
In your efforts to ilnda way out OF the dlhculty,
I want to suggest that no state In the south
can make law that will provide an oppor-
tunity or temptation for an ignorant white
man TO vote and withhold the same oppor-
tunity from IN ignorant c0ored man without
injuring both men. Any law controlling the
ballot that Is not absolutely just and fair
TO both races will work more permanent
injury to the whites than to the blacks beg
of you further that In the degree that you close
the ballot box against the ignorant you open
the schoolhouses More than 0ne-half OF the
people Of your state are negroes, No state can
prosper when large percentage Of It's citizen
ship Is In Ignorance and poverty and nus no In
tereSt In government.

An Instrument 81 Wonderful Value for
studying the Internal Organs
New YORK, Feb. 22-The invention
is announced of the phonendoscope, an
instrument OF wonderful value in
studying the condition Of the internal
organs Of the body. 1t is declared by
to be tremendous advance
on the old stethoscope. The pho
nendoscope conveys to the physician
the sounds made by the internal or
gans. thus telling him whether they
are healthy or not. BY its aid he can
not only ascertain the condition OF an
organ, but trace its shape. 1t has
been discovered with the phonendo-
scope that the stomach assumes diff
ferent form when full of the different
kinds Of food and drink. The rapidity
with which various kinds Of food and
drink are digested can also be studied
accurately with the phonendoscope.
