to local political affairs, had lately showed
great activity in the movement to secure
municipal improvements Mayor Simpson
said he was glad to see the conservative
element becoming aroused and declared
that 1t was just in line with the advice
he had given the community on the occa-
sion of his second induction into the Of
flee of mayor.

Of the Negro race to become useful, in

Booker T. Washington is the en-
bodiment of common sense, and, in
stead of melting the members of his
race to dwell upon their wrongs, to
waste their time upon politics, and to
try to get something for nothing in
this life, in order to live without work,
he has constantly preached the gospel
Of honest work, and has founded a
great industrial school, which fits the
young Negroes for. useful lives as
workers and teachers Of industry to
others. This is the man who was just
~ called by President Mckinley, after
ale had inspected Tuskegee, the leader
| Of his race, and in the South no intel
Iligent man denies that he is doing a
great service to the whole population

much so Us any other man in his

Roosevelt invited Mr.. Washington to
dine with him and his family at his

In this issue of THE APPEAL will

T.. Washington, principal of the Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial Institute
to the Board of Trustees. 1t is dated
May so, but has. never before been
given to the public. &, ~<.
The report shows that the animal
cost OF operating the institution is
about 100000. The assured income
amounts to about 1000, leaving APP
proxAliimately s6S,00o to be raised each
year to meet the current expenses. One
OF the pressing needs of the institu-
ton is an Endowment Fund of at least
$4,000, half Of which has already
been secured. This $25O,oOO ought to
be raised by the Afro-Americans Of the
country. The race must learn the les
son OF supporting race enterprises.
The strictest economy is practiced in

The work accomplished by Tuskegee
is marvellous. Itsis teaching the Afro
Americans Of the South industry, and
