Booker Washington and Cub

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 4, 1910.-To the Ed
tor OF The Bee: The following extract
from this mornings Bee prompts an inn
mediate defense OF DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington.
Some of those negro congressman in
Cuba manifest 9 need OF Booker T. Wash
ington leaven in their loaf.
However, we may agree with the policy
Of DR.. Washington concerning the attitude
with the negro should take in this country,
we feel, nevertheless, that the editor of
The Bee does DR.. Washington an extreme
injustice, when he intlmates that in the
recent affair in an American hotel in
Havana, DR.. Washington would advise the
insulted Cubans to offer no moral or ply
steal resistance to the encroachment Of
American prejudice. which could and can
have only one result.
In America, DIR. Washington fully real
ICES the unjust and deeply entrenched
prejudice existing between the two races,
and the huge task of underpinning 1t. He
therefore advises his people to forbear, be
patient. and live clearly, believing these
basic principles of good citizenship will.
in the distant future, bring those blessings
which are now denied. But DR.. Washing
ton with all pure minded men, would
rather imam racial pfeJuulCe, Jne great
barrier to opportunity and progress and
manhood, should be eliminated; indeed,
that it should never nave entered Ameri-
can life. And DIR, Washington would, If
he could, check this condition of preju-
dice IN it's incipiency, knowing full well
that its initiation into Cuban Affairs would
rapidly spread to other fields, and thus
mar that. relation of friendliness and CO..
operation which is Sc. essential to the prog
ress and peace of both black and white
Cubans. .....
DR.. Washington seeks to overcome the
condition in America so nauseous to liberty
loving people. Is it then logical that he
would wish to see this same condition in
~oculated into Cuban life?
Had not the editorial policy of The Bee
been one Of helpfulness and encouragement
to a struggling people, the writer of this
article should never have noticed the ex-
tract which prompts these remarks.
IL is just such in our news
papers which unquestionably seem to jus,
tify to the reading public the justice OF
injustice, and thereby hamper the work
OF peaceably solving this vexed question
and 1t is to just such statements as the
above that DR.. Washington and the writer
objects. w. w. PEBBLES.

NOW WATCH BUTTERINE SOAR
II Has Become Popular Because
Eu1ter SsRs Gone Up So
High.

Now, watch II soar.
Butterine is now in great demand in
Omaha. because the price of butter is
soaring around 40 cents The retail price
of butterine is Is, 20 and 25 cents and
nearly all the grocers are laying in stocks.
All restaurants and hotels are using
butterine and oleomargarinc because Of
the high price of butter" said ]. B. Cum
ningham, editor and publisher of the Re
tail Merchants Journal. There has been
considerable inquiry as to the law on tbs
subject, but the books plainly say that all
public places which use the substitutes for
butter must nave signs over each table,
saying, I'VE use butJerine here" This
applies also when it is used in the kitchen.

The speed OF locomotives, automo-

machines, has been materially in
creased within the past decade, but
while these vehicles have been pro-
vided with means for greater speed

The equine has been developing speed
