Washington, Special. "Thiuty

negro financial agent of the Arkan-
sas. Baptist College, at Little Rock,
Ark, said he had gotten from an
appeal. to the Colored Preachers ALI
aalee of Washington, for assistance
for his college. Stewart came to
Washington, it is said, to attend the
memorial services for Rev. George
W. Lee, pastor Of a Vermont venue
church, and during a meeting of ne
gro preachers vas asked to make a
speech. He told of the condition of
bic negro race in the South and said
the negro had many white friends
there, as in the North. He protested
against negroes ~condemning Southern
white people because of sporadic in
cidents like the recent lynchings at
Palestine. Texas. He concluded with
his appeal for funds for his college.
"My appeal resulted in a donation
of 80 cents" Stewart said. "If this
is a measure Of the sympathy felt
by the negroes Of the North for the
negroes of the South, 1 say they had
better attend to their own business
instead Of sending kilograms to Gov
ernors and sheriffs of the Southern
States expressing their Indignation at
the lynching Of negroes. Their reso-
buttons of sympathy are meaningless

Leonard Wood

more or less well-meanirg persons
who were misled by these schemers
and adventures: but it is astounding
to any one acquainted with tt facts
to realize, not merely what he accom-
plished, but how he succeeded in gain.
Ing the good will of the enormous ma.
'jority Of the men whose good will
could be won only in honorable fash,
ion. Spaniards and Cubans. Christian
Flipinos and Moros. Catholic eccle-
s~iastics and Protestant missionaries
in each case the great majority OF
those whose opinion was best worth
having-grew to regard General Wood
as their special champion and ablest
friend, as the man who more than any
others understood and sympathi2ed
with their peculiar needs and was
anxious and able to render them the
help they most needed.
His administration was as signally
successful in the Moro country as in
Cuba. In each case alike 1t brought in
Its train peace. an increase in material
prosperity. and a rigid adherence to
honesty as the only policy tolerated
among officials. His opportunity for
military service has not been great,
either in the Philippines OF while he
was the governor of Cuba. Still. on
several occasions he was obliged to
carry on operations against hostile
tribes of Moros, and in each case he
did his work with skill. energy. and
ef efficiency: and. onre it was done. he
showed as much humanity in dealing
with the vanquished as he had shown
capacity to %vanquish them. In our
country there are some kinds OF sue.
cess which receive an altogether dis
proportionate financial reward; but in
no other country is the financial re-
ward so small for the kind of service
done by Leonard Wood End by the
other men whose anne I have given
above. General Wood is an army off.
Ger with nothing but an army officers
pay. and we accent it as a matter OF
course that he should have received
practically no pecuniary reward lot
those services which he rendered In
positions not such as an army officer
usually occupies, There is not an
other big country in the world where
he would not have received a sub
stantial reward such as here no one
even thinks Of his receiving. Yet. aft.
er all. the reward for which he most
cares is the opportunity to- render
service, and this OF ortunity has been
given him once and again. He now
stands as chief-of-staff of the Ameri-
can army. tie army in which he was
serving IN a subordinate position as
surgeon 10 years ago, His wise has
been astonishing. and 1t has been due
purely to his own striking qualifca-
ticn and striking achievements. Again
and again be has rendered great sery-
ice to the American people: and ho
will continue to render such service
in the position he now holds.
