down trodden race. Now, what
are his faults? He declared that
the colored American belonged
to a child race. Is this true OF
false? He asserts now that the
colored American is capable of
taking in the higher branches of
education and should be given
an opportunity. He asserts that
the South is the place for his
people and he advises them to
secure homes and have a bank
account. Are these modern or
ancient - faults? He literally
spends his money, his time and
patience; these may be faults
and waste of time to instil into
the brains of an ungrateful peo-
pie. He has advised his people
to cease speaking i'll of one an
other and try to make a good
man out of a bad man. Are these
greviOus wrongs or faults? He
has elevated the worthy and had
them elevated to positions of
power and trust. This may
be rebuke to the un-
worthy, but not a fault. There
never has been and there never
will be a man like DR.. Booker T.
Washington, white or black. His
value or worth will never be
realized until he is gone and an
attempt made to fill his place by
some one else. He endeavors
to please and satisfy his people.
He has successfully taken the
colOred politician out of politics
in which he was a failure, and
put business in which he is a
factor and benefactor. This is
the record Of a man who is to-
day discredited by the dema-
gogues. 1t is true as others say,

WHO IS WHITNEY,
Career of Man Who Enters Cock
Peary Polar Controversy.
Is Perfect Specimen Of the ClubmsB-
Sportsman and Went North with
Peary to Hunt-A Good Writer
and Story-TeIIer.

New Haven COnn.-"What sort of
a man Is Harry Whitney," This is
the question that is being asked of
every New Havenite, man, woman or
child, who ventures into the zone of
the CoOk-PeaTy polar controversy. To
reply to it accurately is a matter of
more than a word or two.
Harry Whitney has had an inter
esting career. The quiet sportsman
he has been called, for his adventures
have been enjoyed and suffered with.
out press notices, except when they
could not be avoided. The world has
been the theater of his exploits. and
the arctic regions were about the last
section of the globe left for him to
visit when he joined the Peary party.
1t is not commonly known that when
Whitney decided to become a member
OF the Peary party half a dozen other
wealthy clubmen agreed to take the
trip. There was no individual scheme
on his part to join in the dash for the
pole, but an agreement reached by
clubmen, probably in a New York
club, after tales Of previous adyen-
lures had been exchanged and the
view taken that the world seemed 10
be growing tame. Frank Carnegie was
one of the party who agreed to take
part in the expedition. He is a nephew
of Andrew Carnegie and his plans were
vetoed as soon as they were men
toned at home. Indeed, a veto was
uttered upon all those Of the party
except Whitney, whose step-mOther's
wish did not dissuade him from his
scheme
Whitney left on the Roosevelt which
sailed from New Bedford July g. 1903.

and to Harry's step-brOther Both
HaTrys father and mother are dead.
Harry Whitney did not care to 20 to
college, but on leaving the high school
decided to learn the copper manufac-
turing business. He spent three years
in factories in Ansonia, Conn, ana
then decided that he did not like che
steady confinement Of the work. Gan
ceiVing the idea of managing an Aus
tralian sheep ranch, he made careful
preparations for the venture and
sailed from New York city for Ans
tralia, where he purchased a ranch.
This business was well started wbas =
severe drought killed the sheen and
Whitney abandoned the plan and cazse
home.
His love for ranching and opeB-zir
life remained, however, and he nu~-
chased an Arizona ranch, where he
has remained a couple of months each
year. He had a narrow escape fyov,
death in q peculiar manner while an
his Arizona ranch a few years sgo.

In his physique Harry Whitney is

little stoop prevents this character
