HOLDS WHITES RESPONSIBLE
Mrs. Kate Kinsey Brook Talks Of the
Race Problem.

Responsibility for the race problem
rests not upon the NEGRO but upon the
white people, according to Mrs. Kate
Kinsey Brook, who expressed these
views yesterday afternoon before the
Archaeological society at the Masonic
Temple. Mrs. Brook, who has spent
many years in the south, also said that
a southern white man had the same
sense of enjoyment at Negro lynching
as he had at a cock fight.
white women of the south are large
" responsible for the injustice done to
the Negro" continued the speaker. "A
southern woman will often work herself
into nervous state over some reported
crime and then if she chances to meet
an inoffensive Negro she will immediate
scream for aid Should the woman
faint the Negro is sure to be lynched
by the incensed whites. Many an inno-
cent Colored man and boy has been the
victim of the stake and rope"-The Chi,

THE NEGRO IN MUSIC.
ITO be continued.)

The dispatches recently announced tne
death of Flora Batson, who was well
known on the concert stage of the Black
Patti" Her death brings to mind the ex-
traordinary career of another Colored
singer, "the Black Swan" who a gen
Grafton ago achieved brilliant success
which was far from being due entirely
to the peculiar advertising methods OF
Barnum, her manager. And to go lit
tie further back, memory recalls Blind
Tom" who without eyes and without
instruction performed feats in harmony
counterpart, and playing which aston
ished learned musical scholars and ar
lists and have never been satisfactorily
explained
There have been excellent singers and
instrumentalists among the Negroes, but
the success of the three mentioned par
ticularly shows what that race might do
in music with proper industry and in
centive. Nature has already Given tho
Negro the qualities of the singing voice
an intuitive correctness of tempo, and an
enthusiastic love of the art. And it is
the art in which thus far the race has
shown the greatest capabilities-to far
greater degree, indeed, than in literature
painting. or statuary.
Il .. H. g., - S,tr.-, toto anoos,ok that
there is no prejudice against the Negro
in music. The concerts of the three
musicians mentioned were attended by
large and fashionable white audiences
which were as lavish with their applause
and as generous in their appreciation as
If the singers had been the petted prime
donne of the opera or concert stage
Theodore Thomas, severe as he was in
his tastes, did not consider that he was
letting down his standard in the least
when he selected instrumental numbers
for his orchestra from the works of the
black Coleridge Taylor
There seems to be a field for the Ne
gro in music which has not yet been
sufficiently utilized. He undoubtedly
can take a high place in it if he will
cultivate his natural abilities. He need
not fear that race prejudice will antag-
onize him. Music is the universal art
and language and begins where speech
ends. The Negro should have more to
say in 1.-THE Chicago Tribune, De-

SAYS NEGRO WANTS JUSTICE
Booker Washington Asserts Black
Man Does Not Desire Social Equal
lily.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. o-Booker T.
Washington, president of Tuskegee In
stitute, addressed large gatherings of
Negroes in this city today at the invita-
ton of the Civic league, an association
composed of prominent white and Ne
gro citizens of Atlanta.
He said: IAN element that has kept
the two races from cooperating has been
the constant threat of Negro domino
ton. 1 do not hesitate to say that the
Negro has no ambition to mingle social
ly with the white race, neither has he
any ambition to dominate the white
man in political matters. What the Ne
gro is interested in is that individually
he and his family shall receive justice"
1t is simply amazing to US to think
that Booker T. Washington has the
nerve and the gall to shoot off his mouth
in relation to the Negro not desiring
social or political equality with the
whites, when we take into consideration
the fact that each and every one of his
children have received all their educa-
ton in the best white schools and col
leges in the Northern states and in Eu-
rope and whenever the great beggar or
wizard of Tuskegee comes up North for
the purpose of spending some of his Ill
gotten gains.
He always stops m the leading hotels
conducted for white people in Chicago
and in other sections of the West, North
and East, and he has not only dined
with President Roosevelt, but also with
some of the biggest white millionaires
and their families in this country, who
have made their money by robbing the
sick and the poor.
But as Booker T. Washington is a
good white mans Niger" and not a
common black Niger he naturally
feels that ordinary colored people have
no right to aspire to social and political
equality with the Whitesl

It is almost useless to state thai MI
Lavender is a white gentleman anu
that no attempt was made TO MOP .,
lynch him for assaulting a poor ueAi
and dumb Colored woman, but II Nv
was a Negro, and his victim was
white woman, he would have OeeH
burned at the stake for his herlous
crime and chunks of his half baked NC"
would have been sold to the highest DID,
ders for cash. This plainly REMINDS y
that after all, it depends upon whose u
is gored.
