UNITARIAN CLUB
Dimes EDUCATOR
Booker T. Washington
Tells Of His Life at
Tuskegee Institute.

Booker T. Washington was the guest
of honor last night of the Unitarian
Club of California in the American din
ing-room of the Palace Hotel. More than
300 representative men and women of the
State of California and the city of San
listened for an hour to the colored man
from the South.
The dining-room was decorated with
green smilax, red flowers and red banners
and presented a gorgeous spectacle. The
banquet was the twelfth annual ladies'
night of the Unitarian Club of Caltfor-
mia. Louis Lisser. president of the Uni
tartan Club, introduced the guest and
speaker of the evening.
Washington stood for minute listen
ing to the applause of the 800 white people
assembled to meet him, before he was able
to make himself heard. His address was
met throughout with appreciative ap-
plause and laughter. He said in part
In the lifting up Of race, I believe that
much the same process should be followed as
in the lifting up of any individual The sur
est way to lift up individual, think, is to
teach the individual to begin with things that
are nearest to him, however common they NAV
appear to be. and to use these things as a
stepping-stone to something that is considered
higher and more important.
From the beginning, the Tuskegee Institute
has sought to teach our people to put brains
skill and dignity into all the occupations with
which they are surrounded and to teach the
white people that just in proportion as the
negro becomes skilled in industries and a tax-
payer he is not only of added value to

LECTURES ABOUT
GRAND CANYON
Large Audience Greets
Holmes on First
Appearance.

Burton Holmes began his lecture course
in Steinway Hall last evening, taking for
the opening theme the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado. He had a full house to
compliment and greet him. The season,
therefore, opened auspiciously, and the
pictures presented by Mr.. Holmes justi-
fled anticipation. The Grand Canyon has
been described so often and is so fami-
liar theme in this city that there was
little new that could be told, but the
manner of telling and the moving pic
lures, especially, proved to be attractive.
The views were colored. They were nu-
merous and very striking.
Mr. Holmes took the audience IN from
Flagstaff; then led them in imagination,
with the aid of pictorial illustrations,
through the parklike country that inter-
venes between the starting point and the
rim Of the vast chasm and enlivened the
way with anecdotes, of which many were
quite amusing Personally, Mr.. Holmes
is much better-looking than his pictures
would lead one to suppose. His manner
is easy His words are well selected and
his sense of the sublimity OF the Grand
Canyon found expression in language
that was at once tlowery and appropriate.
The striking feature Of interest was the
practical illustration of the steep declivi-
ties over which tourists are led to journey
on mule or morse DdCk. IHlS Was ulduc
possible by the moving pictures, showing
the excursion party with which he made
the tour of the Grand Canyon as 1t ac-
tually descended toward the center of the
earth, as the lecturer expressed 1t, slid
ing down almost vertical trails or climb
ing equally vertical ascents. Mr.. Holmes
general plan, as developed at the opening
lecture would seem to be to make scenes
of sublimity Immediately follow, without
preliminary remark, something that Sug-
gested humorous thoughts. The abrupt
transition was taking and cleverly de-
vised. There is no cavil to be made con-
cerning the Views of the Grand Canyon,
nor is there any serious fault to be found
with the lecturer. He talks in a conver-
sational way, with no attempt to be ora
torical, but still his delivery is effective
His wit is ready. The audience was well
pleased and frequently applauded.
Mr. Holmes verdict concerning the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado was that
1t surpasses any natural wonder else
where to be found on earth. He said that
it robbed Africa of Its claim to pre-
eminencc and took away from the Orient,
comparatively speaking. its glow of coll
oring The Grand Canyon made the
standard by which to judge the claims
of all other regions for scenic marvels
1t was a replica in heroic mood of all the
wonders of nature to be found elsewhere
and repeated them all with fidelity. but
on a greater scale.

would set no limit upon the development Of the
negro IN any direction NO race can be lifted
and developed. but 1 do teach my people
wherever | go that the place TO lay the founda-
tion Is largely in the soil. in mechanics, in
household duties, in which both races mu-
tually interested.
The negro in the South, as a rule works
but he has not learned in any large degree to
use the results of his labor. The problem of
the graduates who go from our large in
stitutions in the South is largely to teach them
how to educate their children. how to buy
land, build decent homes and to save money.
Already we have gotten to the point in many
sections where the negro has become a tax
payer, is buying land keeping out of debt and
educating his children. and find in the South
it is the world over. that when a man gets
into this position he has the respect and con
idence of both races.
In regard to the relation Of the races, be-
leve in taking high ground. Nothing can be
gained for either race by prejudice and in a
doctrine of race hatred. What we want is a
spirit of forbearance and mutual helpfulness.
Some time ago. in the midst of large negro
meeting, where my people were rejoicing over
the gift of freedom. a Southern white man,
with gray hair, trembling hands and quivering

you may not hear of 1t in many cases out here
in the West a large number of the very best
education in a most unselfish and generous
manner
Within the last two years I have been
through nearly every Southern State. Wher-
ever have gone have asked this question OF
the white man and of the black man: How is
the negro in this community who has property.
who owns a home, Is taxpayer, and who
possesses education and high character, treat
ed by the white racer" and. with rare excep-
tions, the answer has been from both races
that the man with those qualifications is more
highly regarded than the ignorant. poverty
stricken negro 1t is not the colored in
the South who owns his home. who is a tax
payer and who has education and high charac-
ter who is guilty of crime. Crime is commit
ted as a rule by those who without edu-
cation and without skill: by those who have
never had a chance to get upon their feet.
Addresses were also made by Horace
Davis, Charles a. Murdock, Fairfax H.
Wheelan and Charles r. Brown.
Murdock said: I'VE have given him our
applause. Let US give him something
more substantial. Let each man here in
this hall send to our president a check
according to his means and ability to
bring courage to the heart of this man
and strengthen him in his work.

Arthur l. Adams. manager Of the Con

Ilng line Of action in future dealings
with Tho municipal legislature.
lu committee Manager Adams made
demand on behalf OF the Contra Casta
Water Company that the rates in force
be re-euacted for the ensuing fiscal year.
The demand is based on a reiteration of
tie 100000 valuation placed on the plant
by Judge J.. c. Hart Of Sacramento in
The water rate suit, ana the further judi
cial decree that the company is entitled
To gross return Of 10 per cent on that
valuation Manager Adams produced fig
ures TO show that the total revenue last
year from Oakland under the existing
rates was S597.79s So. including s59.366 OF

refused 10 allow on the ground of illegal

water service S494IS3 So came from the
consumers of this city.
Manager Adams did not press the fact
before the Council that the Hart decision,
upon which his company relies, is on an
appeal TO the Supreme Court. 1t is the
contention OF the minority members of
the City Council. all Of whom are opposed
u the rates in force, that the Hart valua-
ton has no standing until the Supreme
Court has finally passed upon the suit. 1t
was for this reason in part that the
minority fought the adoption Of the rates
which have enabled the water company
10 take nearly $4,000 a year out of the
Oakland consumers.

Last week George Wilson of Colmor,
accompanied by his wife and some of

tains in the southwestern part of the
county to fish and pick blaekberries,
~ostensibly for a summer outing and a
pleasure trip. But their trip, planned
for days beforehand 10 be one Of much
pleasure. was turned into sorrow and
the most possible anxiety. and remain
ed so until last Sunday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon their little 6-gear
old daughter was missing ami could
not be found anywhere. Night came
on she VAS still lost and the anxiety
was great. The entire country was
summoned and joined in the search
for the little one. Tuesday night and
Wednesday passed and still the search
was fruitless. BY Thursday people for
twenty-five miles in every direction
We're looking for her. Every creyice,
every clump of bushes, every cave or
hollow rec was searched, but in vain,
she could not be found, and the days
OF anxiety grew longer with the pa
rents; their grief was great. But last
Sunday afternoon, twenty-five miles
from where she was last seen, five
days later, the little one was found
in Ponil Park.
That was a happy meeting, that be-
tween father, mother and child.
In all its wanderings the little one
said it eve met a person and sub
sisted entirely on wild fruit, and OF
course as water is pure and plentiful
in the mountains it could not famish.
It wandered along until worn out,
then would lie down and sleep for
hours.
About the only complaint made by
the little one when found was that
It was hungry. Its appearance did not
show that it had ever during those
days expressed any grief over its peril
ous position, and hardly realized that
It had been lost.-Springer Stockman.
