broad charity as we'll as the insignih-
cance and worthlessness of his assail-
ant, who was a white man"
The Advocate Verdict, of Harris.
burg, Pa: In Booker T Washing
ton, the race and mankind has reach
ed one of its highest ideals. Without
him, the possibility for the race would
still be in doubt With him, the hum
blest Negro child reads his history
with hope for better things"
Southern Christian Recorder, OF
Columbus, Ga, says: IF any one
Negro has labored necessarily for har-
mOny between the races, DR.. Wash
ington has, and there is nothing in
the history of his career as a leader
that as much as indicated the contrary.
The Reformer, of Richmond, Va,
says; Or Washington was pIucky,
and showed that he knew how to hit
back though his assailant got the
best of him-one of whom was a lusty
German, armed with a big club"
The World, of indianapolis, Ind.
we are thankful the American
sense of fair play has not become OBJ
sOlete, and that even a negro IS enti-
tied to be heard before he is adjudged
guilty. God still reigns, and the work
of Washington remains unimpaired.
The Philadelphia Tribune, of Phila-
delphia, Pa: Those who know Dr.
Washington best know that he IS a
stickler for keeping business engage
ments; that he IS a tireless worker
that he allows neither time, distance,
the weather nor any other thing to
deter him from endeavoring to per-
form a duty which he feels is impera-
tive"
The Chicago Defender, of Chicago,
ILL.,: The assault upon DR.. Booker 7.
Washington by one Ebert Ulrich in
New York City, recently, is sadly re-
gretful and untimely, and proves that
respectable citizenship in this country
is now basking in a world of danger
built upon bogus laws of society, in
which protection is found only in the
depths of an aquarium"
The American Citizen, of Atlanta
Ga: THE race to which DR.. Washing
ton belongs does not for a moment
entertain the slightest idea that he is
guilty of undue familiarity with any
woman, nor do we believe the think
ing people of America entertain the
slightest idea of the truthfulness oi
the Ulrich accusation 1t is generally
believed that it is a put-up job tc
ington.
The GAINESVILLE Advocate, of Zanes-
vile, o.: "The Advocate, with the
entire race and thousands of all races
regret with all sincerity of heart, that
/ one of the nations leaders and educa-
tors Of his people was struck down
with such brutality, and our untold
sympathy goes out TO this great anC
good man"
The Pine Bluff Weekly Herald
| Pine Bluff, Ark: 1T IS simply ter
rible when a man like Dr. Washing
/ ton can be set upon by Dutch jan
itor and beat up in the manner ht
was, and it is plain that no black mar
is safe in this country. The whole
affair looks like a job"
J The Southern Reporter, of Charles
( ton, S. c.: Or Booker T. Washing
ton, the great educational leader 0
the Negro race, has the profount
sympathy of the better element o

The Atlanta Independent, of At
lanta, Ga: at is feared that the caus
he represents will be injured not b,
reason Of the guilt of the man, bu
because of the enemies he has mad
in the successful establishment of tn
work for which he is sacrificing hi

The Freeman, of Indianapolis, Ind
says: "His friends have rallied t.
him, expressing unbounded confidence
in his integrity in all respects. We arr
no different to them, seeing in tht
distinguished leader and educator al
that has been said of him from tim'
to time"
The Florida Sentinel, Of Pensacola
Fla: "The unfortunate Booker Wash
ington incident in New York simply
serves to show the fallacy of hastily
| taking the law into ones own hands
The Wizard cannot be harmed By
the episode, although it is not doubt
ed that his enemies will falsify the
incident in an effort to embarrass the
great educator by magnifylng the al
fair and distorting the facts"
