WILL WELCOME BOOKER t.
Local Afro-Americans Arrange for n
! Reception to Tuslkegee Educator.

Booker 7. Washington, the colored edu-
Gator and president of the Tuskegee col
lege, who will speak at Duluth Tuesday
evening, will come to st. Paul by special
invitation of the Afro-Amercan league
on Wednesday and 1t has been arranged
to tender him reception at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon in parlor of the
Ryan. The special purpose of Prof.
Washington's presence will be to outline
a plan by which the local colored peo-
pie can aid in his plan of securing an
endowment fund for his Southern col
iege.
Speaking Of Prof. Washington, Fred
l.. McGhee said yesterday: Few men
outside of those who hold official posi-
ton In the country occupy so prominent
station as Prof Washington. Indeed,
my race has not produced his peer.
Douglass was unique. The times made
him possessed of abilities and powers
that were called into play that made
the man the very hide Of the negro
problem at all times in his life.
Prof. Washington represents the solu-
ton Of that problem. His critics are
many, but none point out better plan
than his. Then, too, too often he Is put
In false light, as favoring Industrial
education for the negro alone. Nothing
could be more wrong What he insists on
is that the masses need and must have
industrial education. Where, here and
there, there be one who has special adap-
liabilities. he should be given higher
education. This Is shown by the many
who come from his school to study the
professions. Two have been students
and one a graduate Of our own state
university.
1T is matter OF much congratulation
that now our own people are beginning
to interest themselves in his work. OF
course, we can do but little in financial
way to aid him. We have not such en-
ployment as will enable us to give much
Of our earnings but we are going to do
what We can to aid him. We of the
Twin Cities are particularly proud, for
to US belongs the credit of being the
first in the country, of Mr.. Washington's
race. to render him financial aid"

ern breeders no longer hesitate about
serding their best birds West, when they

More than 1000 birds will be exhibited
at the coming show, not all chickens by

to win medals and cash offered by the
poultry association. The pet stock de-

terest including as 1t will rabbits, Bel
glan hares, cats, guinea pigs, mice and
rats. IT will be the first cat show held
west of Chicago, and the number Of fine
felines owned in the Twin Cities alone
seemed to warrant the poultry associa-

Tomorrow evening, officers of the poul-
try association will meet exhibitors and
others interested, at room s, Davidson
