WELL-KNOwN LAWYER CHUM
OF SLAVERY DAYS

During the Lincoln Dinner of
the Republican Club at the Wal
lorf-Astoria last Friday evening,
Booker T. Washington, who was a
guest OF the occasion, figured in a
highly dramatic incident.
While addressing a large and
select gathering in response to the
toast, "Abraham Lincoln" DR..
Washington turned lmpressively
to A. H. Burroughs, a well-known
New York attorney, who sat at
the Presidents table, and said:
"There sits a man who is the
grandson of Joseph Burroughs,
who was my owner down in.
Franklin County, Va, when | was
a slave. He and 1 played together
as children, fought and wept,
laughed and sobbed together. He.
was the white boy, l was the black
boy, on that old plantation.
"He liked me then, and he likes
me yet. | liked him then and |
like him now. But until this
week l have not met Abe Bur
roughs since one day away back
in 1868 it came to my frightened
ears that old 'Massa' Burroughs,
his grandfather and my owner had
beer killed.
"There was a skirmish, and the
Federal troops, | was told, had
shot him. was frightened. l
rushed home and told Abe, and he
and l cried together. Our hearts
were broken. That is a long while
ago. But here is Abe and here
am I: and we meet tonight at
banquet board in the greatest city
in the world, to celebrate the Cen
tennial of the birth of the mar
who set us both free,-I NEAR
that. Abraham Lincoln set Mr.
Burroughs free when he set m'
free"
During his speech DIR. Washing
ton was applauded time and tim
again, and keen interest was show
bv all throughout his entire ad
dress. When he concluded hi
hearers arose and cheered.
Following is DR.. Washington
address:
"vou ask that which he foun
a piece of property, and turne
into a free American citizen, t
speak to you tonight on Abraham
Lincoln. am not fit d by an
cestry or training to be you
teacher tonight, for, as / hav

my first knowledge of Abrahar
Lincoln came in this way: l wa

Abraham Lincoln might succee
and that one day she and ne

% often the keeper is on the in
side of the prison bars, and the
prisoner on the outside.
GAS an individual, grateful as |
am to Lincoln for freedom of
body, my gratitude is still greater
for freedom of soul,-the liberty
which permits one to live up in
that atmosphere where he refuses
to permit sectional or racial hat
red to drag down, to warp and
narrow his soul.
"The signing of the Emancipa-
tion Proclamation was a great
event, and yet it was but the sym
bol of another, still greater and
more momentous. We who Gel
ebrate this anniversary should not
forget that the same pen that
gave freedom to four millions OF
African slaves at the same time
struck the shackles from the souls
of twenty-seven millions of Amer
leans of another color.
'In any country, regardless of
what its laws say, wherever Peo-
pie act upon the idea that the dis
advantage of one man is the
good of another, there slavery
exists. Wherever in any country
the whole people feel that the
happiness of all is dependent
upon the happiness of the weak
est, there freedom exists.
"In abolishing slavery, Lincoln
proclaimed the principle that even
in the case of the humblest anc
weakest of mankind, the welfare
of each is still the good of all
LIN re-establishing in this country
: principle that, at bottom, tn
interests of humanity and of tn,
individual are one; he freed men
souls from spiritual bondage; h
freed them to mutual helpfulnes
Henceforth no man of any race
either in the North or in the South
need feel constrained to fear c
hate his brother.
"By the same token that Lincol
made America free, lie pushe
back the boundaries of freedol
5 everywhere, gave the spirit of lii
5 erty a wider influence throughol
= the world, and re-established II
dignity of man as man. By II
= same act that freed my race,
said to the civilized and uncivilizC
/ world, that man everywhere mu
be free. and that man everywhe
4 must be enlightened, and the hi
!, coin spirit of freedom and ia
, play will never ceace to spread al
2 grow in power till throughout Il
world all men shall know Il
truth, and the Truth shall maj
= them tree.
Lincoln in his day was WI
y enough to recognize that which
J true in the present and for all tin
that in a state Of slavery and !
norance man renders the lowe
and most costly form Of service
his fellows. In a state Of treedc
and enlightenment he renders t
highest and most helpful form
service.
