y
More than six thousand people
crowded into the Hippodrome last
week Tuesday evening to hear DR..
Booker T. Washington S address.
He was by far the biggest drawing
card on the n. Fl. A. program and
he made what we believe to be his
best speech in the north because it
was practically free from the usual
offensive and derisive niger
stories Mr. Washington has so long,
enc ely too long, persisted in re-
hashing in this section of the coun-
trv during his otherwise interest
ing addresses. Among other things
he said that iii the last analysis
if was success that commanded the
respect and admiration of the white
race as well as his own. He de-
clared that one-fourth of the ply
sical property of some parts of the
south belongs to Negroes. You
owe us a duty, he continued.
"Ycu forced us Lere and we are go
inc to stay. We are following into
your ways. We have the same ven
Grafton for your institutions that
you have. | am proud OF being a
member of race that has made
such progress as the Negroes have
in the last forty years. In fact,
Negroes own forty-on banks and
now / see by the papers that a
Negro has actually robbed a bank
so YOU see we are following closely
in your footsteps
1--WE have 10000 ministers and
$4,000 Christian churches with
$27OOO,000 invested in church
property. Statistics show that 1t
costs but 80 cents to educate a
Negro child in the south, while 1t
costs 80 to educate white one. l
consider this a compliment to the
race. Disease AID crime draw no
color line and you can t hold man
in the ditch without remaining in
the ditch with him. Some people
are fond of asserting that educa-
ton. as a force to uplift the Negro,
is a failure. Education has never
been tried among the rank and file
of our people On scale large
enough to warrant any such Judg-
mept. The great bulk of our people
have scarcely been touched by edu-
cation. Official statistics show that
two years ago l, 100000 children OF
my race of school age were not even
enrolled in the public schools, and
n large portion of those enrolled,
especially in the country districts,
were in school only four or five
months of the year. Do you know
what it means to the good name
and future security of this country

Springfield, Ill.-According to
an opinion handed down on the
18th by the Illinois supreme court
Vespasian Warner, commissioner
of pensions, loses his fight to sus-
tain his fathers will and as a re-
suit his stepmother, Mrs. John
Warner. gets the widows share of
the estate. The value of the en-
tire estate is estimated at $1,000,
600 and Mrs. Warner will get prac-
tically $500,000. The supreme
court affirms the lower court, which
declared the antenuptial contract
null and void and upheld her right
to renounce the will and take her
statutory allowence. The charge
that Mrs. Warner has Negro blood
in her viens is ''immaterial and ir-
-elevant," says the court.

The reason was given that greater
privacy would be assured him and
that he would be kept from contact
