Of marked attention. His ability to
handle many difficult affairs which
probably saved the life of the West
African republic gave him more sub
stautia influence and weight with the
government and people of this country.
One notable instance Of the esteem in
which he is held was shown in the
testimonial and banquet In his honor
at Washington, which was attended by
prominent men from all sections of the
country.
In his efforts to improve the indus
trial condition of the Liberians he
met the hearty cooperation of DR..
Booker Il. Washington and other race
leaders, the result of which will be
the establishment of an Industrial and
Dormal school in Liberia under the

INDIAN is NOT UNDERSTOOD
White Race Has Proved Utterly Un-
able to Fathom Pride and Phios-
ophy Of the Red Man.

Even among the five civilized tribes
there still remain many communities
wholly full blood These people drift
together, following their own ideas of
life, speaking their own language and
retiring before the whites with the
same strange reserve and pride that
characterized them in their wild state
Although claiming the name of sew
eral Christian denominations. and fol-
lowing certain beliefs with devoutness,
their ways of thinking, their dislike
of innovation and their aversion to
work have made them withdraw to
the mountain districts. Whether this
so-called reserve comes from pride or
a distrust of the white man or timidity
or merely stubborn conservatism It
produces the same result; the back
ward and nonprogressive Indian
There is, TOO, certain mystic quSl-
ity that holds the Indian aloof, says
the Southern Workman; a quality
that We do not understand and with
which there is little sympathy in our
everyday life. He is so much of a
philosopher that he looks upon our
strenuous life with some contempt,
dlsmissing our efforts for personal
comfort and material advancement
with the remark that the white man
is heap trouble to himself" White
people call him lazy because he does
not care to exert himself for these
things which seem important to
whites, and yet to some religious
ceremonial or some artistic expression
his application is persistent and the
patience of an Indian" has passed
