| WASHINGTON'S ABLE TALK.
ADDRESS WAS HEARD BY LARGE
ASSEMBLY.
To Atlanta Audience He Declares
That the South Is the Proper
Place for the Negro.

For reign of law and order; Of race
love and race harmony. Such was the
keynote Of stirring address delivered by
Booker Washington before crowd, most
ly white, that comfortably filed Turner'S
Tabernacle, in Atlanta, last Monday eve
ming.
In his every utterance there was an
appeal for the black men to recognize the
fact that their best friends and their
best interests were right here in the
southland, and that it was for them to
improve these opportunities in such a
way that the white men would recognize
their ability as laborers and admit the
fact that they could not get along with
out them.
work, work with your hands and put
the best that is In your head into the work
of your hands. DO it better than any one
else can do it. Buy your own houses.
Buy land. Have a hank account. Don't
spend seven days at a camp meeting
when you ought to be improving your
farm. Learn how to use your hands in
such a way that no one can take your
place Be tax payers. And when you are
tax payers you will have the best inter
ests of the community in your heart, ana
this much mooted race question will have
been settled"
So preached DR. Washington, inter-
spersing his remarks with telling ana
pertinent stories. sometimes pathetic
more often humorous. but with homely
truth so strongly borne out that no one
could mistake the purpOrt and the mis-
sion of the experience or anecdote.
"Whle l will not attempt to deny the
injustice Of slavery We of my race
must ever remember that we owe much
to our masters. 1t was between the slaves
of the older generations and their mas
tiers that seeds of friendship were SoWn
that must not be forgotten and let us all
see to 1t that these ties are strengthened
rather than torn down, as they have
so often been done. We must remember
too that slavery put us in touch with
skilled labor and we came here out of
Africa without language and without
means of using our hands and we have
come out American citizens carrying
Bibles and opportunities for education.
/ thank God for the fact that Georgia
did not yield to the temptation Of dividing
the colored school fund and this shows
where our friends. our real friends are
to be found.

PARTICIPANT IN LYNCHING
MURDER PURE AND SIMPLE
Justice Brewer.

Milwaukee, Wis. July 13"Every man
who participates in the lynching or the
burning of a negro is a murderer pure
and simple"
This opinion was given by Associate
Justice David G. Brewer, of the United
States supreme court, who is in Mil
waukee on private business.
"Of course explained Judge Brewer,
there may be eXtenuating circumstances
which would vary the degree of the
crime, but the principal participants in
the crime can be held by any court in the
land for murder in the same degree as
if the crime was committed by an In
dividual
There is going TO be a reaction against
the atrocious crimes with which the
papers have been filled The fact that
the people are now interesting themselves
in the discussion of this problem makes
manifest the fact that there is a ten
dency toward a change. 1 expect that
1t will come soon. / cannot say what
form it will take, but there will be an
uprising of popular feeling against lynch
ings which will result in a remedy"

LEAGUERS HOLD MEETINGS
Bishop Galloway First Speaker on
the PentecoSt

Detroit. July 16.-Epworth Leaguers,
1000 of whom are in Detroit for the an
nual convention tonight held four Pente-
costal meetings in Tent Ontario, the Cen
trail Methodist Episcopal church. the De-
troit opera house and the Fort Street
PRESBYTERIAN church. Tent ontario, wi ii
2 seating capacity of 5000, was jammed

were crowded, while the Fort street
church was we'll filed.
AT Tent ontario Bishop c. B. Galloway,
of Jackson, Miss. bishop of the Methodist
church. south, was the first speaker on
The Twentieth Century Pentecost." His
splendid .eloquence called forth ''Amens'
and "Hlllelujahs" from all parts of the
tent Bishop Galloway described the
Pentecostal meetings in 1903 that resulted
in the founding of Methodism BY John
Wesley and his coadjutors, who guided
by the divine spirit in their founding Of
the church. for ne said, nothing con-
ceived entirely by human instrumentali-
" could have achieved such mighty
Things as Methodism had. Men talk the
bishop said "of the wonderful organiza-
ton of the Methodist church, but our
wonderful system OF theology has done
more than even our great organization"
He spoke of the bicentennary OF John
Wesley and said:
Let us let the spirit of those bicen-
tennary days bring us closer together as
members of one great family. There is

TENT ENDEAVOR BLOWN DOWN
Thousands Were in Peril, but No
One Was Seriously Injured.

Denver, Col. July 13.--The big Tent En-
deavor, in which the Christian Endeavor
convention has been held for the last
four days, was blown over this afternoon
while more than 5000 persons were under
the canvas, and nearly a score of men
and women were slightly injured. Mrs
Jessie NJ Thornburgh, of Denver, was
the most severely hurt. Her nose was
gashed and her scalp received several
cuts.
A. NJ Ramsey, of Chicago, quickly
sprang on a chair and called to the
people to hold up the canvas and poles
This allowed air to circulate and pre-
vented suffocation. AS it was. many
women tainted and were extricated from
the folds Of the canvas with much diff
fculty. Mrs. Winifred Sleep. of Den
YER who was in charge of St. Mark S
hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe at
the big tent, telephoned to the electric
light company to shut off the current
This prevented any damage from the live
wires that had fallen with the tent poles
