SOME, SENSIBLE ADVICE.

Mr.. Charles r. Douglass, of
Washington, D. c., was recently
accorded a warm welcome in Los
Angeles, where he spoke before
the Afro-American Forum. Mr..
Douglass, made Booker T. Wash
ington. of the Tuskegee Institute,
the subject of his remarks, and
quite decidedly exposed the meth
DDS. aninus and mendacity of the
Boston conspirators who have
sought to embarrass Booker T.
Washington in his work for his
people. The audience was COM
posed of the most progressive
men of the race in and around Los
Angeles, and they soon fell into
Mr.. Douglass way of thinking.
Mr.. Douglass appealed to them if
they could not give material aid
and encouragement, that they
should by all means refrain from
seeking to embarrass the work,
