of his critics. When the proper oc-
casion arises he always places him
self on record.
1t is perfectly we'll understood that
it is due to Mr. Washington's inf1u-
ences and efforts more than anything
else that the lily white movement in
this State, which started so vigorously
few monhs ago and threatened to
spread over the whole South, was COM
pletely checked and crushed out. If
Mr.. Washington had done no more
than this to show his interest in the
public life of the colored people, the
race would be justified in continually
praising him. There has never been,
since the war, such a crucial test OF
the race as that presented by the lily
white movement, and we who reside
in the South and know the facts, the
real facts, know to whom to give credit
for crushing this movement. And
all OF US here understand perfectly
that in connection with the rebuke
to the lily whites, Mr.. Washington
made the statement which a few have
tried to distort, that even the new
State Constitutions made by the Dem
Ocrats seemed to TUt a premium upon
intelligence, character and property,
and that they, the lily whites, were
trying to go further in their efforts
to cisinfranchise the Negro than the
Democrats were through their new
State Constitutional Conventions.
Some of Mr.. Washington's critics
pretend TO be greatly offended because
of his 4 sjstence upon industrial edu-
cation as well as literary and religi-
Gus training The Tuskeegee Insti-
tutA is not the first nor the only indus
trial School There are dozens of
industrial schools in the South, mostly
conducted, however. by white people.
If industrial education is SO harmful,
why do not scne of these people who
criticise Mr. Washington attack these
industrial schools conducted by the
white I,cOp1e instead of concentrating
all their attacks upon one man; and
why is iC that so many of the other
schools pretend to have industrial de-
partments when it serves their pur-
pose to so pretend? The people can
not be deceived We understand per-
fect1y we'll that these attacks grow
| in q large measure out of a feeling of
| jealousy because of Mr.. Washfngton's
recognition and success, and at all haZ-
ards we at the South mean to stand by
and support him, and we are glad to
say that practically all the Northern
| people, except in a few centers here
and there, are supporting him in the
| same way.
