Commencement Grafton Delivered
BY Noted Negro Educator.
Of Tuskeqee.
Rise Of the Black Man Cited as Object
Lesson for Better Endowed Schools.


Booker T. Washington, president IF
Tuskegee institute, foremost of the
nations schools for negroes, delivered
the quarter centennial commencement
address to the graduating class Of
Manchester college at the Central
Presbyterian church, st Paul, yester-
day. His topic was From Servitude
to Service"
1.-THE educators of the world fully
realize more and more each day that
there is place, an important place,
for the small UNCONVENTIONAL college.
And this place in the life of the ma
ton Manchester college is filing in an
eminent and fitting degree. Some Of
the greatest men of our nation have
graduated at colleges which have been
A. Garfield and many others whose
so small that the world knows little
of them. From such colleges have
graduated William Mckinley, James
names l might call.
Inc lure tcSI VI the Woitn VI any
college or institution is in the service
rendered by it's graduates. No mat
ter how richly endowed, unless the
men and women trained at that insti-
tuition render high and unselfish SER
vice to the world, the institution is a
failure. .'+
IF with all of his hampered sur
roundings, if with all of his disad-
vantages, the negro in America has
made progress within the last quarter
of a century, surely no young man or
young woman in this great free North
ern country ought to become discour-
aged in the face of difficulty or hard
ship"

SPECIAL MENTION,

Mr.. VIM. Hollister, the head waiter
at the New National, has the respect
of his men, and that is shown by the
harmony existing between the chief
and his associates.
A letter from him will be appreciat-
ed at any time. He gives advice with
a clear view of the situation, without
applying racial conditions or con-
temptible theorem-and the manager,
Mr.. Body, is from the East and will
show you.
Mr.. James B. Dungee, formerly of
Commercial Club and Tonka Bay, has
recently taken charge of the Trask
Cafe, and he will do his best. You are
in position to advertise the services
of colored walters, julie. We hope
that you may.

A Fatal superstition.

A peculiar case illustrative OF the
.ell power of superstition is reported
rom Oodnababba, Australia. The
ieath occurred q short time ago Of an
lborigine, NAVY Tom."a black Of

IN the cover of Mr.. Foster Fraser's
work, Quaint Subjects Of the King.
This native was comparatively intelli-
rent and civilized. having been in the
employment of whites for many years.
md physically he was about the finest
type In the northwest, yet he died be-
cause another black, an enemy, pointed
/ bone at him. No amount Of reason.
ng or ridicule on the part of the
whites could save him. Once a black
has been "boned,' he simply wastes
away; neither eats nor sleeps proper

ago." he said. Colonel Davidson was
in command Of the fort. He received
instructions that General Sherman
would shortly visit the fort on a tour
OF inspection. Colonel Davidson there
fore devoted special attention for a
short time to drilling his men. In his
command was one private soldier who
was the terror Of the regiment. No
deviltry was too audacious for him to
attempt. and methods of discipline
were fairly exhausted on him. Just
before the visit of General Sherman
this soldier stole ham from the com.

and succeeded in making way with It
to his own satisfaction. At his Wits
end for a punishment that would fit
the crime, the colonel sentenced the
soldier to stand on a barrel a certain

the disgraced private; did not realize
that as he made his salute he was
directly facing the distant corner
where the culprit held aloft his wood

sword waved in solemn salute to the
ham, and the private saw his oppor-
tunity. In loud and commanding tones
he bawled across the parade ground
to Colonel Davidson: March your
command around again, sir!' as If the
entire review had been made in his
honor.
Have him court-martialed? Oh. no.
Colonel Davidson was SO mad for a

Victim Of q Soft Heart.

BETTER OFF IN THE SOUTH.
There the Negro is Encouraged to Be-
come Skilled LabOrer.

"The south is getting tired of the
political demagogue who gets office and
keeps it by stirring up racial pre-
judice," said Booker T. Washington,
in a recent speech. This was shown
by the way in which Gov. Vardaman
was turned down in the recent con-
test in Mississippi for seat in the
United States Senate.
"The people down there are wearied
over having racial strife aroused and
you do not hear so much of the race
question in the political campaigns
as in former years. I think there is
a tendency among the thinking people
of the south to come to the conclu-
sion that the two races. have got to
live there together and that it is the
sensible thing to live in peace, so
that each race can help the other.
Down south the negro is not de-
barred from places requiring skilled
labor. He doesn't get into such Jobs
up uOTIu NY uooh VI SlOOh, 40 q uiC'
I cannot give the reason, but it is a
fact. In the south he gets a chance
to work. The colored man gets a
better chance in the south and he is
far better off there as a rule than in
the north.
"You will find in the south, If you
travel good deal, and have gone
into a great many communities down
there. that between the individual
negro and the white man in the south
there is close relation of friendship.
This is the sort of thing you do not
hear about-the thousands of things
that tend to promote good will. 1t is
only about the rare difficulties that
reports find their way up north. I
have referred to the banks that are
owned by negroes. But the negro can
get equal credit with the white man
and can borrow money at the white
mans bank on the same terms that a
white man can get it. And If a negro
wished to go into business I do not
know of an instance where he has
not had the sympathy and encourage
ment of the white man. Things like
this, of which instances are numer-
GUS in the south, never find their way
to the newspapers of the north"

SOLDIERS UNDER TWO FLAGS
How the Call of Adventure undsr For
elun coiors Has HrIghtensd
History.

The American may be pardoned foi
yielding to the lure Of adventure In for
eign wars. and those two whose recent
execution in Nicaragua belonged to q
large and noble company Of soldiers Of
fortune who fought. sometimes for
pure love Of lighting, sometimes for re
venge, but more often for love of lib
erty and very rarely for pure love Of
gain. Not all the heroes OF history
have been those who fought under
their own dag The Dutch government
took deservedly prominent part In
the recent celebration of the Hudson
Fulton centennial. but Hudson was an
Englishman who sailed under the fias
Of Holland, and while he was not q
soldier Of fortune in the belligerent
sense Of the word. he was one of the
worlds greatest adventures who won
his fame under foreign standard
Christopher Columbus was an Italian
who discovered-or rediscovered-a
continent and planted on the sands Of
the western world the banner of Spain
Apparently. indubitable and exhaustive
researches by Minnesota historians
and scientists have proved that Colum
bus came here centuries after the
Scandinavians discovered America
whose very name was derived from
that Of another Italian. Chinese Cor
don's sobriquet indicates his career
and the history Of the orient is replete
with instances Of Europeans who rose
to power, while American colonial his
tory bears on its pages the names OF
Lafayette, Pulaski, Steub ben, Kosciusko
and others who fought for human free
dom under an alien flag. Garibaldi
fought under three flags. those of Italy
France and Uruguay; and In connec
ton with the South American revolu
tons It IL not particularly anomalous
that one Of the national heroes of the
Argentine republic is O'Higgins, while
one Of the great African war heroes OF
Spain was O'Donnell. the apostrophes
In whoses names are self-explanatory
When the roster Of all the worlds

minion and discovery. Of exploration

that more than one flag fioated over

outlawry, worthy Of execration and
punishment.

the Harm Lies.

It Is certainly not without appre-
hension and regret that the growing
craze for fortune telling, spiritualism
and the magic arts generally is to be
noted, writes Wellington Hope In the
Chicago American.
All these things have passed beyond
the boundary of pastimes. People
have long since begun to take them
quite seriously, and it is a matter of
constant surprise to find how many
otherwise quite sensible, level-headed.
practical folk will suddenly declare
themselves believers in some one or
another Of the multitudinous ways of
which people are deceived into the be-
lief that they can peep into the future

But in these days when nerves" are
