WHAT CONSTITUTES ALEADER7

Andrew Carnegie's munifcient gift
to the endowment fund of Tuskegee is
accompanied by this glowing tribute
to its founder and inspiring genius:
"History is to tell of two Washing
tons, one white, the other black, both
fathers of their people-to me he seems
one OF the greatest of living men, be-
cause his work is unique, the modern
Moses who leads his race" That in
deed is earth's highest and best reward
to a life Of unsslfish and pure en-
deavor to become the acknowledged,
peerless master mind and exemplar.
How many noble souls fred by the
lofty ambition to be conspicuous heroes
in the strife of life, to shed radiance
like the lustre of the god of day, have
gone out into the infnity of the un.
known and left no story for the muse
of history to record? Ambition and
capacity are not therefore the only in
gradients of the leader. The students of
history have always found these quail
ties present IN those upon whose broWs
fame mas placed her chaplet. Un-
worthy men have triumphed and have
had their brief strut In our annals but
the impartial historian has penetrated
below the surface and has held them
up to just reproach while conceding
their exceptional powers. AS we read
the record of those who have left great
names and whose memories command
the reverence and the applause of sue
ceeding gener ations and pono er upon
the causes, we perceive that they have
been the righteousness aud continuity
of purpose, the ennobliDg ele yatinn of
aims, and supreme self consciousness.
Yet perfect self immolation must enter
hand in hand with character aud the
purity and dignity of daily life.

We do only our duty to our local

every other city where there il a large

For years Frederick Douglass was

misconstrued, his motives impugned
and the great business of his soul de

his day and time, until by the sheer
strength of bis overshadowlng intellect
and the magnetic splendor of his con-
secrated life, he won the admiration
and confidence of the Caucasians of
two continents, and was able from the
heights he occupied above, to look
down with pity, if not contempt, upon
the 'niggers' who would have murdered
his great career had their envious spite
been strong enough"
