Booker Washington is a man, and a

Professor Charles Eliot Norton said:
AS far5as the question of citizenship
is concerned, Roosevelt's action is en-
inently just and right. In regard to
b the politics of the question, will not
speak.
The President cannot look at citi-
zens In regard to their color No dis
/ tinction can be drawn. between white
and black a black man Of high at
tainments is worthy Of recognition.
Those who deny this are blind to mer-
it II merit is commendab1e only be-
cause Of its possessor's color. it lis not
valued for it's intrinsic worth s. IS
1t pleases me that the President has
given this recognition to a deserving
man. When Booker T. Washington
was here last winter 4 entertained him
at my table and should he be here
again this winter 4 shall again hope
for the honor.

and splendid Americanism. No man
in this great republic is to be tabooed
on account of color or religion. The
president is not the representative of
the white man or OF the Christian, but
OF all men, Christian and Jew, white
and black. I venture to say that if
he had done me the honor to ask me
to be his guest, there would have been
howl from those who object to the
Jews socially and who make them
selves ridiculous by their insane and
stupid prejudice =s.
Booker T. Washington is an Ameri-
can gentleman, a thinker, scholar ed
ucator, reformer one who is a greater

of the South, than all the mouthing

Editor Post: Why all this fuss about
Booker T. Washington and President
Roosevelt? In what way has the presi-
dent acted wrongly? He has consist
emily been a liberal, an aggressive
fighter, a man who. as a thorough
American, knows no color. race, re-
ligion, or nationality. He simply puts
into practice the principles of his life;
therefore, Booker, IT. Washington was
the private guest of Theodore Roose-
welt, who recognized in him merit, the
keynote OF the political and social arch
OF American citizenship. ..-.
II the president in his official or
personal capacity never does anything
else than this incident he will surely
live in history as a man of courage

President Roosevelt night before
last had Booker T. Washington, the
worthy ald much respected colored
man who is at the head of the Tuske-
gee Institute, as a guest at his private
table in the White House. This has
caused some Indignation among South
erners and in Southern newspapers.
They declare that it sets bad exam

expect to make friends in the South if

chat he is the governor. He is scru-

from what he cOnceiyes to be his
duty, as was amply eXemplified in
mis- signing the doctors bill and the
whisky tax bill over strong protests.
s1arly in his administration he said
he would make his own appointments
and be responsible for them. That

Feast of the Passover all during next

way of celebration. The feast com

EASTER IN THE NEW CENTURY

An Easter feast in Russia usually
consists of a sucking pig, lamb, shout
der of veal, a ham, curled cream,
Easter bread, red eggs, colored lights,
fiddling and general merrymaking-
In the good old times the nobility left
their tables furnished until Whltson-
tide, so that any one who chose to
enter their house might partake of
what was there set out, o was food
denied any one. This state of affairs
could hardly be imagined here but
strange as it may seem, in the few
localities where this ancient custom
still keeps up, there is scarcely record
ed a case of the betrayal of such hos
pitality.

EASTER IN RUSSIA.

In the century just begun there will
be 5,217 Sundays. In that which we
have hardly yet learned to speak of as
the last Easter Sunday has occurred
once on its earliest possible date,
March %, 1918 but this will not occur
till the tweny-third century. The
earliest Easter in the new %centuly
will b e March %, 1918. Easter Sun
day will fall once on its latest day,
April 20, in 1913. This also occurred
once in the century just passed-in
1866. Ascension day is practically al
ways in May, but on three occasions in
the past century it occurred in June
and in the new century this will hap
pen four times.
