Such information it is my duty to give
when it is asked for.
AT every proper opportunity / say to
the youth of our people that they will
make a mistake if they seek to succeed
in life by mere political activity or the
hope of holding political office. Now
and then, however, public questions af-
fecting our interests arise which are so
fundamental and far reaching that they
transcend the domain of politics. When
such questions present themselves; in
justice to my race 1 make my position
known and stand for what 1 see to be
the right.
We cannot elevate and make useful
a race of people until there is held out
to them the hope of reward for right
living. Every revised constitution
Throughout the southern states has put
a premium upon intelligence, ownership
of property, thrift and character.
"As an educator, and not as a poll
tician 1 strive in every honorable and
rational way to encourage the wise and
enduring progress of my people; for if
all inspiration and hope of reward is to
be denied them they will be deprived of
one of the greatest incentives to intel
ligence, industry and righteousness. On
the other hand, if they are encourage
in sensible and conserva tive directions
they will grow year by year into con-
tentedness and usefulness.

BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS

"From Greig to Brahms is the latest
contribution of the Outlook company TO
the book world.
Those who are familiar with music
will recognize from the title that the
book is devoted to musicians. 1t IS a
series of biographical essays by Daniel
Gregory Mason in which the following
we'll known musicians are the topics.
Edward Greig, AntOnin Devorak, Ca
mile Saint Saens. Cesar Francks Peter
Illyitch Tschaikowsky, Johannes Brahms
!, with an introduction on Appreciation
Of Music"
The author says in his preface; Mus
&c may be hard to understand but mu-
sicians are men: so remarked friend
Of mine when I was first planning
these essays. The sentence sums up
very happily a truth 1 have constantly
had in mind in writing them. AS all
music, no matter what its compleXity
on the technical side, is in essence an
expression of personal feeling, and as the
qualities of a mans personality show
themselves not only in his works, but in
his acts. his words. his face, his hand-
writing and carriage even, it has SEEM
ed natural and fruitful. in these stud
les, to seek acquaintance with the mu-
sicians through acquaintance with the
men"
The book closes with an essay on The
Meaning Of Music and of this the
author says:
'fThe purpose of the last essay in the
book, on The Meaning of Music will be
obvious enough. Just as the introduc
tory essay tries to sketch the genera;
musical environment, as determined by
basic principles and developed in his
tory. in relation to which alone the in
dividuals discussed can be understooe,
so the eDilogue seeks to suggest that
still larger environment of human feel
ing and activity on which music. like
everything else. depends for its vitality
The first essay considers music as a
medium for men. the last considers life
as a medium for music"
Mr.. Masons book is entertaining. He
writes with a simple. attractive style
that is essential to make such subjects
as he uses interesting to the ordinary
reader. and it is pretty safe to say that
the reader who begins with Greig will
hardly stop ;--+il he has had the last
word with Brahms
The book IS illustrated with portraits
of the composers discussed, and is beau
tifuIy printed.

HIS LIFE WORK.
Booker Washington Says It Is the
Uplifting of His Race.

birmingham, Ala, Nov. 29.-The fol-
lowing letter mas been received by the
Age Herald from Booker T. Washing
ton:
ITO the Editor of the Age Herald: I
notice that several newspapers have
recently connected my name with polir-
ical matters in such q manner as TO
show that my position is not understood
l desire therefore to make the following
statement:
My life work is the promotion of the
education cf my race. 1t is well known
that [ have always advised my people
that it is OF supreme Importance at this
period of their development that they
should concentrate their thought and
energy on the securing of homes, the
cultivation of habits of thrift, economy,
skill, intelligence, high moral character,
and the gaining of the respect and conf :
dence OF their neighbors, white and
black, both in the south and north.
From such teaching and council no in
f1uence can ever divert me.
What conferences 1 have had vita
the president or with any public officials
have grown out of my position, not as
a politician, but as educator. II
should be borne in mind that there are
about 5000, coo of negroes in the United
States who are liable under the law iol
.axes ana military service and who are
punishable for infractiOn of the law
These people at present have no member
of their race in the national law making
body, and it is right that those charged
with making and executing laws of the
land should at times seek information
directly from the members Of the negro
race, when their interests and relations
with the whites among whom they 1--we
are concerned.
Under 10 circumstances could I seek
to promote political candidates or volun-
teer information regarding men or
measures, nor have I done so in the
past but because of the Importance 1
have always sought to place upon edu-
cation and industry among my people
as the basis for friendly relations be-
tween the races there may be occasions
in the future as there have been in the
past when, if I am so requested, / can
give information about men and meas
ures, which would tend to promote such
friendly relations between the races.

YORWAERTZ REPLIES.
German Paper Refuses to Be Silenced
by the Emperor.

Berlin, Nov 29.-The Vorwaertz COM
menting on Emperor Williams speech
on the day of the funeral of Herr
Krupp at Essen says:
while prosecution is still pending
against us and the truth is not judicial
ly ascertained, the emperor anticipates
the courts findings by pronouncing our
guilt out of hand. Is it allowed that
the crown at the initiatory stage of a
pending case can utter a verdict and
thereby place the judges in the painful
dilemma of either contradicting his
majesty subjecting themselves to the
suspicion that their judgment was in
fluenced by him? Justice stands above
everybody, even above the emperor and
the freedom of the courts is the life and
nerve of every state.'
The paper adds:
THE monarchy is constitutionally ir-
responsible. An adequate answer to
the emperors speech is prevented
through the lese majestic paragra phs.'
The Vorwaertz, in two columns, reaf-
firms in moderate language the truth of
its original charges against the late Herr
Krupp and alleges that the evidence
rests on the testimony of persons quite
above party passion, personal interest
or political hate.
