WORKERS SESSION" OF
 TUSKECEE CONFERENCE
bers of His Race Same Showing as
 They Do White Men.

Tuskegee, Ala. February 22.--"The work CTS session. of the Tuskegee conference, made up of southern educators of both races, devoted six hours to-day to d dis cussion of the question: What have thir- ty-five years of freedom done for tne ne- gro?" Principal Booker T. Washington pre- sided. A majority of the speakers asserted that there had been a steady progress along dil lines. 4 very common report was that when a man deserved respect he got it re- gardless of race J. c. Napier, a colored lawyer of Nashville, said that twenty years ago a coiored man in that city wanted to qualify on a bond Of $5,000. 1t took six months to get enough colored men to go surety and some of the men who signed consumed flfteeen minutes in writing their names Now a negro in that city could get a bond for s1O000O guaranteed by colored men in a very short time. He had prac- ticed In the courts there two years, and his experience had shown him that almost without exception white jurdes were willing to give negroes the same chance as white men.
 The presidents of severa large educa- tional Institutions reported that they bought their supplies from negro grocers and butchers, not as a matter of sentiment but because they got first-class goods at low prices. Professor w. E. B. Rubos of At ianta University, said that one great trouble fn discussing the negro question was that people did not take into consider ation the fact that conditions differed much in different places.
 A negro man cannot consider himself alone but as one individual of race o6 9,0O0,0OO people. In closing Principal Wash ington thanked the press and those pres ent, the white people north and south, for the help and encouragement they are con stantly giving.

 "But NC have got the Philippines on our hands, and I will tell you what we shall tell the people of this country. We will say we nave acquired title to the Philippines and Fcrto Rico. We did not go after them, but they came to us, and we could not help ourselves.
 "A gentleman went out into the Orient with a little more power than he had au thority and the first thing we knew he had captured, the Lord only knows how many. islands out there We have never yet found out ourselves But he took them and we are there, and our flag Is there. We were aided In getting a perfect title to them by the democratic senators in congress with out protest from anybody.

 I've have got them, and the duty is upon
 us, and we are going to take care of them.
 We are going to make all the money out
 of the transaction we can by enlarging our
 trade with the oriental countries and we
 are going to embalm the doctrines of the
 Declaration of Independence upon the stat

We are going to do 1t under the persua- sive influence of the constitution of the Declaration of Independence of our Chris tian civilization.
