BOOKER T. AND THE CONSERV-
ATOR.

From the Chicago Conservator.
The New York Age, which We like
to read as one of the best ~wsiest of
Negro journals, and which will not ex-
change with the Chicago Conservator,
says:
Having converted Booker T. Wash
ington from the error of his ways, Ed
itor Wilkins, of the Chicago Conserva-
tor, is as happy as clam at high tide.
But we want to know if DR.. Wilkins is
still a member 'in good and regular
standing of the Niagara Movement? !?
Or are we to understand by DR.. Viii
kinS' statement that he has got DR..
Washington converted, that, while he
was in Chicago, and without giving the
Age the tip, he joined the Niagara
Movement We want to know, for the
whole business IS enveloped in an OBJ
fuscation that knocks the respiration
out of ululation."
While many other great papers are
rejoicing and congratulating US on the
fact of our converting Prof. Booker
T. Washington to the love of his race,
the Conservator modestly says nothing.
1t is too well satisfied with the fact
to put in time footing its own horn.
When Mr.. Washington was shutting
his cards for the ducats, regardless OF
the results to his race, the Conservator
was the one thorn in his hesh which
curtailed and took away his comfort
but when he came to himself, saw the
light and espoused the cause of his peo-
pie, the Conservator simply announced
| the fact and went on in the even tenor
of its way.
The shouting is left to Brothers For
tune. Chase and others who will now
find the task of defending Mr.. Wash
| inetnn much easier and more popular
We came to the support and defense
of Mr.. Washington on no conditions oi
pay or after no bargain Is fixed. Mr.
Washington came to Chicago and made
| several speeches, and in them all nj
race was first We liked it and WI
said so. We are still free to Criticist
Mr.. Washington or anybody else claim
| ing to be a leader and sitting down or
( the race. We are, however, grateful tc
the New York Age, The Bee, the Dal
las Express and other papers which givt
US full credit for this great mission
work and all their readers also.
tAs we fought Mr.. Washington witt
all our might when We thought hin
wrong, we now propose to use all ou
influence to support and build him u
hile we think him right.

FUSS OVER NEGRO VALEDIC
TORIAN.

Pittsburg, May 27.-There is rebellion
in the public schools of the fashionable
suburb of Oakdale because Negro was
made valedictorian of the graduating
class of the high school, and only FIVE
of the fifteen members of the class at
tended the commencement exercises on
Saturday night.
When it was announced by Prof
Johnston of the school several days ago
that Ray Wooten, a Negro and son Of
the alag barber, was the honor stu
dent and would be the class valedictor-
ian there were many protests. Prof.
Johnston paid no heed to the objections
and declared that the members of the
graduating class would attend the COM
mencement exercises or no diplomas
would be issued to them. The absentees
declare that they will not accept the
diplomas.

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
m the Literary Dlgest.

From the Literary Digest.
A growing demand for the arrest of
the Sunday excursion is noted by The
Christian Intelligencer I(New York;.
Students of religious conditions in Eng
land, it AYERS, are concerned over a
notable decline in the matter of Sunday
observance and family worship, "and
with much unanimity find chief cause
of the lessened attendance at church
and the weakened religious influence OF
the home to be the popular weekend ex-
cursions offered by the railroads" Sim
liar conditions attributable to the same
cause are noted in this country. The
Christian Intelligencer deals with the
subject in these words:
an this country it is certain that the
Sunday excursion is productive of like
results. 1t converts the Lords Day into
a mere holiday. and increasing numbers
are led to spend the day of God-given
rest in a way which yields weariness
rather than refreshment and deprives
the soul of the appointed means of spir-
itual benefit. 1t is gratifying to note or
the part of some railroads a disposition
to arrest this evil, and thus give to theil
EMPLOYEES a rest day, as well as remove
the temptation to Sunday dissipation
from the public by a discontinuance Of
excursion rates and trains on that day

mission, the railway people agreed to
the disconhnuance of Sunday excursion
rates in the future. It is expected that
legislative bill will be secured in line
with this agreement, and that along with
the prohibition Of cheap rates on Sunday
the State Corporation Commission will
be given authority to indicate what
trains are necessary to be operated on
that day. Such a movement throughout
all the States would be, we believe, of
to the railroads, as well as the
public, and would remove a chief provo
cation to Sunday desecration.n

Now that Simon Wolf, a leading He
brew lawyer of Washington, D. c., has
taken steps to compel the proprietors
OF the fashionable hotels in Washington
and Atlantic City, N. j. to entertain
accommodate Jews along with other
guests, we will see what virtue there is
in the discrimination practiced. The
fact that all the money necessary to
make the fight in the courts will be put
up Immediately, together with the fact
that none but the best legal talent OBJ

result in this instance is anxiously look

Senators Foraker and Dick in Ohio
the Negroes have organized for the
purpose If standing by the man who i.
standing up for the I67 Negro men
whom President Roosevelt dismissed
from the army.
It is an open secret that, whoever
dares oppose the wishes of the man in
the White House is marked for the
slaughter. Foraker opposed the Presi-
dents Rate Bill, and further made him
self Objectionable when he brought
about the Senate investigation of the
Brownsville affray.
The appointment of Mr.. Ralph Tay-
Ter was sop thrown to the 10000 Ne
gro voters of Ohio to keep them quiet
and to divide them if necessary between
Foraker and Taft.
We do not recall one prominent Ne
gro of the country who is standing up
for Mr. Roosevelt and his treatment
of the Negro soldiers. We all feel that
the President has blundered, and his
refusal to right wrong makes him ra-
ther small and contemplate, and all the
more so when viewed in the light of his
own words.
We applaud the Ohio movement and
trust that Mr.. Smith, the leader, will
extend the same to New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. If the
President has permitted disfranchise-
ment to become entrenched in the South
and has catered to Southern prejudice
and filled his administration with South
ern Democrats, let the Northern and
Western Negroes join hands and teach
Roosevelt a lesson that he will never
forget 1t is time for the worm to turn.
