BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SAYS
That He Will Not Dabble in Poll
tics and That
He IS NOT A POLITICIAN, But
An Educator of His People "A
Straight Talk.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 27.-The
following letter has been received by
the Age Herald from Booker T. Wash
ington:
"To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
81 notice that several newspapers
have recently mixed my name with
political matters in such a manner as
to show that my position is not under
stood. desire, therefore, to make
the following statement:
!" My life work is the promotion of
the education of my race. 1t is well
known that have always advised my
people that it is of supreme impor-
lance at this period of their develop
ment that they should concentrate
their thought and energy on the Sc.
curing of homes, the cultivation of
habits of thrift, economy, skill, intel
ligence, high moral character and the
gaining of the respect and confidence
of their neighbors, white and black,
both in the south and in the north.
From such teaching and counsel no
influence can ever divert me- What
ever confidence have with the presi-
dent or with public officials has
grown out of my position, not as a
politician, but as an educator. II
should be borne in mind, that there
are about 1900, 900 negroes in the
United States who are liable under
the law for taxes and military ser.
vice, and who are punishable for in
fractions of the law, These peopl,
at present have no member of theil
race in the national law making body
and it is right that those charged
with making and executing the law
of the land should at times seek infor
nation directly from members of til,
negro race, who have their interest
and their relations with the white
among whom they live. 81

BRITISH COLONIES DECAY.
Projects to Save British Honduras
and British Central Africa.

The approaching session of parliament
is likely to be utilized to elicit information
on the general attitude of the government
with regard to two important railway
schemes, viz:
/. From the sea to Lake Nyasa. in Brit
ish Central Africa
2. From Belize in British Honduras, to
the Guatemalan frontier
The Importance of the first one is inten-
sif1ed by the question of native labor in
South Africa At present. owing to the
absence of the railway from the sea to
Lake Nyasa. the planters haveto fail back
on the natives as their only means of
transport. Build the railway, and one

RUINED CITY OF COPAN.
Honduras Government Has Stopped
Work of Excavation.

All work on the ruins of the great pre-
historic city of Copan. in Honduras, has
been suspende by order of the Honduran
government. Extensive excavations have
been made at Copan by agents of the Pea
body exploration fund, and great palaces
and temples, giant stairways and broad
plazas have been unearthed. Enough was
uncovered to show that Copan was the
capital of a great empire which has en-
tirely vanished, leaving no history, not
even traditional history, behind it which
man as yet can read.
The government of Honduras gave no
valid reason for stopping the excavations,
and the custodians of the Peabody ex-
ploration fund hope to be able to get per
mission to resume work next year, the
prohibition seems to be only the result of
temporary freak on the part of the
native officials Meantime a wall has been
built around a part of the excavated city
and watchmen, living in huts amid the
ruined palaces of forgotten kings, keep
away natives who might deface and de-
stroy the elaborate stone carvings and
sculptures.
The history of Copan and it's mighty
warriors, wise statesmen and splendid
kings is all written on numerous columns
of stone and on the walls of the palaces
and temples, but man as yet can read
the Inscriptions. Archaeologists of the
Peabody Museum have. however, master
ed the calendar of the vanished people,
and. with this as a starting point, are
gradually making progress toward the
acquisition of knowledge of the language
of the mysterious people of the forgotten
empire
If work on the ruins of Copan can be
resumed next year it is expected that
many finds will be made which will be
of the greatest Importance to American
archaeology-New York Mail and Express

ROOSEVELT ACTIVE.
President Hasn't Given Up Hope
Of Settling Strike.

Washington, Oct11.-President Roose-
welt is seeking every method by which
there may be federal action in settling
the coal strike. His cabinet advisers
have been requested to look carefully
into the laws which may have a bearing
on the subject and see if there is any
statute under which he can proceed. So
far nothing has been found
There is one ray of hope, but it is
rather faint in view of the attitude of
the coal operators This is that some mu-
tual ground of arbitrationmay be found.
The miners are willing to consent to ar
bitration of all questions. The operators
admitted the principle of arbitration to
limited extent in offering to submit
individual cases of disputes between en-
ployers and employees to the courts of
common pleas in the districts where the
disputes occur.
What the president and his advisers
are trying to ascertain is whether a
middle ground of arbitra ton may not
be agreed upon. This plan, even though
it does not now give much hope of sue
cess. is the only one in sight at present
Those who have discussed the matter
situation grows more acute both parties
in the interest of public welfare may be
induced to accept it or something of a
similar nature.
That the president is very much in
earnest is shown from the conferences
on the subject that continue at the
White House. Secretary Wilson of the
agricultural department; Carroll ID.
Wright, commissioner of labor, and
Frank d. Sargent, commissioner of i'm
migration, were among those who saw
the president today and it is under
stood all of them discussed the coal
situation with him.
No official statement could be obtained
at the White House as to the progress
of the Administrations work, although it
was admitted that there was a great
deal going on which it would be in
expedient to make public at the present
time. No intimation as to whether the
remark referred to tie conferences at
the White House or other negotiations.
