From the Atlanta ConstitutiOn.)

Washington, Oct. 16.-(SpeciaI.)- y
Booker T. Washington, the we'll
known Negro educator, President of
the TuSkegee (AIa.) Institute, was
guest of President and Mrs. ROOSe-
yelt at dinner at the White House to-
night. Mr.. Washington is probably
the first American Negro to dine with
a President Of the United States and
his family, although it was reported
that President Cleveland once enter
tanned a Negro friend at the White
House board.
Since President Roosevelt occupied
the White House there has hardly
been a dinner or luncheon without its
guests. and as the President has been
so free with his invitations no special
list of guests is prepared, and the ush-
| ers do not know who the guests will
| be until they arrive. Tonight, just be
| fore o'clock, Negro in evening
dress presented himself at the White
House door, and, giving his name, said
that he was to dine with the Presi-
| dent. Booker Washington has made
several visits to the White House, and
his face is known there, so he was al
once admitted into the private apart
ments and the President notified of
his arrival. No other guest arrived
and the dinner was soon served.
| Dinner at the White House since the
ROOSeveIts have occupied the mansion
has been a family affair, Mrs Roose
velt and the two children appearing
at the table with father, mother and
guest. After dinner the Presiden1
takes his guests To- the library, anC
! there, over cigars, things political anC
. otherwise are discussed.
Tonight the usual order of affair
| was not disturbed on account of tn
i color of the guest of honor, and MI
G | Washington left the White Hous
n about 10 O'Clock, apparently yer
much pleased with his dinner and hi
chat with the President
The colored American., 1901-10-26

It is claimed by some Southern
Democrats that the President has the
personal right to invite whom he
phases to his table, and that no one
can justly call in question th't right,
while other Southern Democrats claim
that the President, the moment he be-
ca e President, lost this personal
right, and therefore committed an un-
pardonable sin in exercising IT.
These evil minded critics forget that
their criticism cuts the throat OF. their
argument.
President Roosevelt is the Chief
Magistrate of the whole people As
such, it was perfectly natural for him
to recognize the most conspicuous rep
resentative of race constituting one
eighth of the population of the United
States, especially since that represen-
tative had been honored and lauded
without stint by the very men who now
take the President to task Tor calling
their hard In the courteous treatment
of q meritOriOus man.
1t is clearly observable in all thai

or spoken against the entertainment o.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1901.
rHGr pInnER At THE wHITE HOUsE.

Anent the White House eplsOd9'
the Hon. Henry WattersOn, formerly |
OF Kentucky, shows that his evidence
in the metropolis of the nation for. 10,
these many years has failed to free him
from bis ancient traditions, t'r ne says
that the entertainment OF Booker L
Washington at dinner by the Presl
dent of the United States was simply
the doctrine of the Republican party,
expressing itself through President
Roosevelt, and that the affair will tell
wonderfully in favor of Democracy IN
the next national election In this,
Mr.. Watterson has unintentiOnally
naid 8 high compliment to the Presi-
dent of the United States and to the
narty with which he is identified, and
at the same time he has dealt stun
ming blow to the people of this country
and especially to those upon whom ne
celies to return the Democratic party
to~pOWer
Mr.. Watterson should remember
that the only man that his party has
heen able to elect to the Presidency IN
the last tourty years, was son OF the
Empire State, who, like a brothe'
New Yorker who has edded neW
laurels to the position of President oi
the greatest nation on the face OF the
olobe was too great to be small.
MIR. Watterson should remember
that former President Cleveland wa
taken to task by men of his party II
the South for having the late Freder-
ick Douglass and wife as invited guest
at a diplomatic reception at the Whit
House and that Mr.. Cleveland de
fended by saying that he honored him
self and the nation he stood tor b
honoring a man like Frederick Dout
lass ana 80 Mr.. Cleveland was IN du
time reelected to the Presidency.
We think such will be the outcon
of the Washington episode, so far
President Roosevelt is concerned. IL
reople will say; "NFell done thou goo
and faitful servant, thou hast be'
faithful in ruling over the whole peop
without respect to race color or cree
therefore enter thou upon q 'ecol
