The address Of DR.. Booker T..
Washington, delivered at Louisville.
Kentucky Friday September G. 'O7
was especially significant in that he
openly advised citizens OF color in
this country TO contend for every
right guaranteed By the laws Of this
country. Coming as it does from
the foremost Negro leader in this re-
public. the advice is especially de-
serving OF attention. He urged .
however that this be done in a con-
servative manner. He was optimis-
tic as 20 the future of the race and
used strong language in dealing with
those who exploited the wrongs prac
ticed upon US to the exclusion of the
things that are being done in our
favor.
We can readily see the force and
effect of such reasoning. He made
a great effort and the vast concourse
of people there present were not
slow to see it. We are becoming
more and more impressed with Dr.
Washington's attitude upon great
questions. His past record has not
been such as 90 please us when vital
issues We're under discussion. He
has been wise in his day and genera
ton, but we are gratifed TO note
that his attitude now is IN conson-
ance with the demands of the times
and in keeping with the advanced
ideas now generally accepted by ev-
cry conscientious, self-sacrifcing
race leader in the United States.
