question:
Many of our people have come
from the South because they have a
jUdice against them While they have
not attempted nor asked for social
recognition and have been satisfied
with their own society they have
been allowed greater liberties and
have enjoyed better opportunities in
commerce, trade and the professions.
The white population trade at the

as at white stores, and our merchants

behave themselves SO as to retain the
respect and confidence of the COM

BOOKER r. WASHINGTON.

Sunday was great day for De
Moines and the Midland Chautau
qua for there will be no other da,
that will draw so many visitor:
to our city as Sunday, wheu one
of Americas greatest men, Book
er Washington, was to speak
During the day special aud in
: coming trains brought thousands
to our city to hear or even see
this noted educator. Below we
reproduce Harvey Ingram's edito'
rial which appeared in the Regis.
ter and Leader:
''It is a remarkable tribute tC
any man that an audience such
as crowded the Chautauqua pavil-
ion yesterday afternoon should
sit from 3 o'clock until 4 in the
sweltering heat awaiting his
I coming, and then listen patiently
and without sign of fatigue for
nearly two hours to plain sim
pie story of of the rise of the col
ored race. This is the tribute
that was paid to Booker Washlng-
ton on the occasion OF his second
visit to Des Moines.
Professor Bascom jumped into
sudden notoriety year ago when
be declared Booker Washington
to be the greatest man the South
has produced since Robert E. Lee
The uotoriety was not so much
due to the remark as because it
was made by the professor of
southern college and because I'M
mediate steps were taken to Sc
cure his removal in which his Cri-
tics happily failed, however.
Professor Bascom's estimate may
or may not be accurate.' But this
must be admitted, Booker WASH
iugton is one of the great men of
the South--not great Negroes
but great men. He is one of the
great men of the nation.
The most marked characteristic
of Washington is his strong COM
mon sense. And in no way has
that been manifested more ad-
vantageously than in the modesty
and tact with which under the
most trying circumstances that
have confronted any leader, he
has always carried himself. 1t is
almost without precedent that a
man in his position should not
have "slopped over" at some
point. But Washington has
neither been elated over his own
honors nor irritated at the oppo-
sition he has met. He is one of
the few men who can talk about
his own work and his own career
without the least affection, and
who can debate with those who
differ with him in a calm and
friendly spirit.
So strong and so sane is his
presentation of the race question
that no matter what any hearers
predictions, not one in one hum
dred but applauds his utterances
and wishes him success. His
philosophy is the philosophs of
our common sense Americani ism.
1t is just as good philosophy for
the white race as for the colored,
and parhaps just as much needed.
1t is the philosophy of Benjamin
Franklin adapted to new age
and to new conditions. 1t is the
philosophy Of "Now that l have
horse and COW my neigh bors
bid me good morrow
Washington is yet young
man. He has a long and useful
life before him, apparently. 1t
is difficult to predict what the fu-
ture may have in store for him.
But if he makes no mistake he is
he is bound to be one of the nota-
BILE figures of his generation.
His influence will grow rather
than diminish and his recognition,
not as a Negro but as an Ameri-
can citizen, will be more friendly
every year.

the Ottens canal which will he $50 feet
wide and 40 feet deep, extending from
Delaware avenue, through the salt pit
cove to the Grassy Sound channel, a

Plans are now being drawn for a
