Booker,s Sound Doctrine.

Among the great men of the
country is Il colored man, and his
name is Booker 4. Washington.
Mr., Washington is probably doing
more toward the settling of
the race question than any other
one man in the country. He is
doing this by promulgating the
doctrine that it is not the color of
a mans skin So much as the color
of his heart--in other words, his
character which counts for most
in the long run.
In q recent address at the con
ference of the negro young peo-
pie Mr.. Washington uttered some
truths which both races would do
well to ponder over and put in
practice He said:
II sometimes fear that We are in
danger of producing too many
leaders. We are not 80 much in
need Of leaders as workers. Be.
fore We spend any considerable
part of our time giving advice to
others, let us remember that it is
our duty to our families, our race
and ourselves to secure and puy for
comfortable home or farm or
to start a business and secure u
bank account. Talk after work is
valuable; talk without work is val
ueless. l cannot have much faith
in the morality OF christianity Of IA
man whose note for $40 is not
good at his home bank. The high
est moral and religious progress
does not go hand in hand with
idleness, ,shiftlessness and poverty"
Speaking of the relations of their
race with the whites, he said:
"No race can hate another with
out that race being weakened, mar.
rowed and degraded. Let us cul.
tiyate friendship and love for all
races and individuals, and harboI
hatred for none. Ii others would
be little, let ms try to be great; il
others would hate us, let us try tC
love them; if others would be crue
to us, let us be mcrciful; if other
would break the law, let us respec
it; if Others would seek to push u
down, let us seek TO rnise them
In the long run it is the race tina
helps to push up that succeeds"

usually replies that it will be time enough
to clean the pavement when the snow has
stopped falling. The snow shoveler con-
