Tuskegee's claim to recognition are
founded. The story is told IN the plain
direct and positive manner which has
long beer the distinctive characteristic
OF Mr.. Washington's methods as an
educator, rs an orator, IS writer and
as man. No trick of rhetoric, no
flight Of fancy, no lmagary SO stir the

as it does among the most potent fac
tors in our national life, both white and
colored, it is sure to have afarsreaching
influence for good to all concerned.
Time could not be BITTER spent than
in going over the facts emphasized by
Mr.. Washington. He is OF the opinion
that despite untoward episodes in many
places, there is now more real, substan
tial and thoughtful interest in the Ne
gro's welfare than at any previous peri
cd in our history, and that mere spas
modie aud sentimental feeling has been
replaced by definite spirit Of hellfui-
NESS, born of clearer comprehension
of his capacity and needs. The dispo-
slt1op to eXagerate our weakn esses has
led thoughtful men to inquire into ac'
tual conditions, and the result has been
to bring out facts beneficial to our repu'
tatlon. 1t has tended to induce philan-
thropists to drop the idea that we pre-
fer to be carried, when the truth 1s we
merely wish an opportunity to learn
to walk and develop by natural pro-
cesses into self-supporting and self
reliant people. The Negro race, Mr..
Washington thinks, should, like other
races, be judged by its hest types rafh'
erthan by its worst. He believes that
the views of the Caucasian would be
less discouraging if he would In more
cases actually visit us and inspect our

WILL PUNISH GUILTY ONES
INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED
CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.
War Department Has Matter in Hand
and VIII Institute a Searching
Investigation.

Washington, May 12.-Assistant Sec
rotary Meikeijohn has apparently
been charged with the direction of the
prosecution of the inquiry into the al
legged Cuban postal frauds. Probably
this is by virtue of the fact that he
has been IN charge of all matters in the
war department pertaining to the in
sular possessions of the United States
and consequently has, through a
specially erected bureau in his office,
kept account Of all the receipts and
expenditures of the islands, including
Cuba.
At noon today the assistant secre-
tary retired into Secretary Roots pri
vate office for a secret conference with
Deputy Auditor Lawshe and the post
Office inspectors who have been de-
tailed by Postmaster General Smith to
investigate these Cuban postal frauds.
Beyond the fact that the participants
are carefully examining the data
brought from Havana by Colonel Bur-
ton nothing could be CLEANED as TO the
nature of the proceedings.
Acting Secretary nIeikeljolin received
an express package today from Gen
eral Wood at Havana, containing an
application for the extradition of
Medley. dr. Meikeljohn sent the doeu
ment to the department of justice for
the action of the attorney general who
undoubtedly will cause its presentation
to the governor of New York without
delay
At the conclusion of the conference at
the war department this afternoon, It
was announced that Assistant Secre-
tary Meikeljohn had appointed Abram
L. Lawshe, deputy auditor for the post
Office department, to be assistant audi
tor for auditing the accounts Of the de-
partmental postoffices In Cuba in place
of Mr. w. II. Reeves who has been
suspended pending the result Of the
investigation of the alleged frauds.
Mr. Lawshe, accompanied by Mr..
Nettleton, an expert accountant, viii
leave Monday for Havana 10 make a
thorough investigation of the Cuban
postal service. It is declared TO be the
purpose of the administration to bring
to justice every person who may be
found to have been connected in any
way with the frauds upon the postal
revenues.
