at the White House; both of them had
a national and almost an information
al reputation as leaders of their race
in all that benefits any race of people,
teaching successfully that personal in
teIligence, industry and morality are
essential to good government. They
merited the approval they received
from all who are ready to acknowledge
merit wherever it exists. Abandoning
prejudice, they acknowledge the facts.
1t was fitting that President Roose-
welt, acting in the realm of sound
craftsmanship, not cramped by the linn

of a race in our country numbering
ten millions of people who is doing
much effective work for their welfare
and incidentally with resulting benefit
to all who compose our nation.

which doesn't take advice from any
body about its guests, has entertained
Booker Washington several times, and
on every occasion he has made hit.

last Irving dinner and made the best
speech of the night. IRhave seen him
follow speakers like Depew and Por-

Veagh, but never did he finish their
