THE CHICAGO ATTORNEY.

The sentiment of the sensible people
in Washington grows all the stronger
against a certain lawyer who delivered
an address before the Bethel Literary
Association recently, because of the fact
that it has lately become known that for
three days this lawyer had an opportun-
ity to face Mr.. Washington and tell him
of his dlsagreements, and attack his pos
ltion in Mr.. Washington's presence.
During the three days that he was with
Mr.. Washington he scarcely opened his
mouth in opposition, but waited until he
got behind the latter's back and had an
opportunity to twist his writings into
any kind of meaning that answered his
purpose. The brave and manly thing
would have been TO have attacked Wash
ington face to face and not waited for
this opportunity to distort and misinter-
pret his utterances. One can take the
Bible, as is often DONE and take dis
JOinted sentences and verses and prove
anything desired, and the same thing can
be said of any mans writings. But, af-
ter all, the bulk of our people and the
thinking ones, come back to the PROPOSE
ton that the difference between Mr.
Washington and his critics is that he
has actually accomplished something that
IS tangible, visible, and of monumental
value to the race, while they have done
nothing but throw mud and try to pull
down what he has accomplished. The
people cannot be fooled; they know the
Inference between the real and the spu-

SI1AA1S.

WaShington'S literati was treated to
a lecture on "Shams" at Bethel Liteary
last Tuesday evening. The lecturer
was the learned law giver of Chicago,
Ills, Hon. Edward H Morris. Mr..
Morris has won fame and distinction
before the Illinois bar, and an unusually
large and intelligent audience greeted
him. He ran over the list of "ShamS''
hurriedly, and was not long in reaching
the marrow, his objective point, Dr.
Booker T. Washington, upon whom he
saddled every wrong, every sin, and
every crime committed by the white
people OF this country against the Ne
gro. He seems to have left the lofty
station won by him as a lawyer and
scholar and to have descended to the
gutter for material to make out his
case. His lecture was disappointing
He did not reach the empyrean heights
of reason and logic. With the skill of
the master lawyer he is, he took frag-
ments of sentences from the writings
and speeches of Mr.. Washington to IL
lustrate his points. He essayed to prove
that Mr.. Washington was responsible
for the lynchings and friction between
the races in the South. To cap the eli
max of his wild wanderings he stated
that the harm done by Mr. Washington
10 the race could not be obiterated in
two hundred years and there were a
few literary curiosities in the audience
who tried tO halieya hin,
MIR Morris represents a class of lead
