WELCOMING ADDRESS.
Mr.. Henry B. F. Macfarla1d, presi-
dent of the District commissioners, de-
livered the address of welcome, say
ing:
'It would be hard to say who is the
greatest man Of my race, Mr.. Chair
man. 1t would be hard to say who is
the foremost man in the national capi-
tai alone, outside of the White House,
but there can be no question as to the
foremost man of your race. He is Book
er T. Washington, of a national and an
international reputation, which ent1tle
him to the official welcome of the Dis
trict government in the name of all
that is best K, both races AS we look
back through the long vistaS of history
and see race after race, our own among
the number, slowly, so slowly, in many
cases. climbing from barbarism up to
civilization, we are impressed, we are
thrilled. And when we see before our
eyes a race marching upward in that
same path, but crowding the processes
unexampled progress in the same space
of centuries into decades and making
of time, shall we not be impressed and
thrilled? And shall we not admire the
men and women who are the leaders,
and, above all, the leader of the leaders,
who marches in front, points the path,
and with cheerful courage stimulates
all the rest. The leader of ten million
Americans, of any color, if, as in this
case, he is leading them with high
motives and high purposes to high
ends, is worthy of our respect. This
man meets in every sense the Jeffer-
sonian standard of the good citizen. He
is honest, he is capable, he is faithful
to the constitution, and no man is do
ing a greater service to his country
He has enemies. Who that has sue
ceeded mas not? Envy breeds enmity
and malice is always active. But we
can admire him for the enemies he hal
made, and we can admire him still
more for the Christian spirit which h
has shown toward them, reviling no
again. but steadily going forward, to
busy to turn aside from his great work
which, by uplifting the whole race, vii

Representative James E. Watson, @
Indiana. in introducing the speaker
spoke of the attempt to wipe out tn

out of our anguish of soul, out of every

should count ourselves fortunate if,
even in the slightest degree, it may be
our privilege in a generation to ad-
vance our cause toward the light.
Every lace should have goal to-

and country.
USEFULNESS AND STRENGTH.
whether we strive to lift the race
into usefulness and strength, through
organizations or institutions, or as in
dividuals, it is we'll for US to under
stand and agree, as far as we may,
upon certain fundamental truths that
should always be kept prominent and
held as vital essentials. Among them
would lay stress upon frankness,
whether employed in the world Of bust
ness, religion or education, or in the
affairs of a race; frankneSs is in the
long run always an element Of strength.
We must face the fact, then, that ours
is child race, a partially developed
race, when compared with some other
races. This statement carries with it
nothing discreditable to the race. A
child is not to be despised because of
his age or size, nor a youth because
of his lack Of experience. Each has
as much right to ask chance in the
world and is as much entitled to re-
spect as the fulI-grown man. The main
question then is, is the child or youth
growing, and does it possess the ele-
ments that assure development into a
complete manhood?
''For myself, have the most pro
found belief that no race in ancient
or modern history has ever equaled the
American Negro in development in
all directions. I believe further that
in the fuIIness of time we shall demon
strate to the world that we can become
highest and best civilization.
Because of his progress in the pres
ent and my faith in his future, 1 was
never prouder than I am to-day OF
being a Negro, and of being identified
in some slight degree with the strug
giles and triumphs Of a race in which
l have such confidence.
USEFULNESS TO COMMUNITY.
Zone of the most important sources
of protection that any race of people
can have is their usefulness to the
community in which they dwell. Ser
vice is the secret Of sovereignty. Th'
man, black or white, who has learned
to do something better than his fellows
