DR.. WASHINGTON CARRIES
NEW ENGLAND.
Addresses Crowded Meetings in and
About Boston-Enthusiastically Re-
ceived by Harvard Students.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov 2o-Dur-
ing the past week, DR. Booker T
Washington, principal of the Tuske-
gee Institute, has been in and about
Boston and New England, busily en-
gagged in delivering a series of ad-
dresses, and bringing to thousands a
message of hope and optimism re-
garding the future of the Negro in
America.
The leaders of thought and opinion
in this section have been thrilled by
the eloQuence and saneness of his ut
terances, and every where he has been
enthusiastically received.
Thursday night, October 23d, DR..
Washington spoke to a cultured au-
dience in the large Colonial Theater,
at St JOhnsbury, Vermont. Arriving
in Boston on Friday, he spoke that
evening under the auspices of the
Brotherhood Club of the West Med
ford Congregational Church, one of
the most fashionable houses of wor-
ship in that wealthy suburb.
On Saturday afternoon, at I o'clock,
DR. Washington was the guest of
honor at luncheon given at the
Twentieth Century Club, an organiza-
ton composed of the most prominent
business and professional men in the
Hub City, and one which just two
days before had entertained President
Lowell, of Harvard University.
At 2:3O that same afternoon, DR..
Washington spoke under the auspices
of the Heptorean Club, the most ex-
elusive woman's literary organization
in SOmerville, Mass, and one of the
largest wOmen's clubs in New Eng
land.
The climax of DR.. Washington's Sc
ries of triumphal meetings was reach
ed on Monday night, October 27th,
when he addressed the Harvard stu
dents in the Harvard Union Club
house, Cambridge, Mass. The large
living room OF the Union was pack
ed with students, professors and their
friends, and standing room was at a
premium.
The subject of DR.. Washington S
address was Negro Progress" TAX
ing the figures of the last census as a
basis, he showed the wonderful prog
ress made by the Negro in the last
ten years His talk was full of wit
and wisdom, and time and again, he
was cheered to the echo, and at the
conclusion given such an ovation as
only college students know how to
give.
A Harvard professor who was pres
ent was heard to say: Or. Washing
toms address tonight was one of the
finest | have ever heard anywhere,
and I have heard all the great orators
of our times. In the matter of hold
ing an audience and arousing their en-
thusiasm, | consider DR.. Washington
the peer if not the superior of any
living orator"

The only remedy, Mr.. Manning
said, was an aroused public sentiment
which should react on Congress, fore
in that body to do its plain duty.
White men of his type in the South
and the colored people there could do
very little to remedy these evil con-
ditions, he said, but much could be
done by the Colored voters of the
North. Pointing out that in some of
the border States the Negro holds
the balance of power, while in nearly
all the Northern States his vote has
become an appreciable quantity, MT.
Manning declared that the Negro vOt-
ers of these States should band them
selves tOpether into an impenetTable
political solidarity whose members
should see to it that no man, no mat
ter who he might be nor what his
party affiliations, should have the sup
port of the cOlOred voters to send him
to Congress or elect him to any other
office, unless the candidate set forth in
unmistakable terms his attitude to-
ward these questions of such vital
concern to the colored people and
lodged himself to exert his best eff
forts toward letting Congress to pass
the necessary measures of relief.
-. spirited discussion followed the
ovation which was accorded Mr. Man
ming as he took his seat. Among
those who spoke were w. D. John
son, special agent of the Department
of Agriculture, Judge E M. Hewlett,
James c. Waters, Jr., Hon. ]. G.. Ma

4 MOST NOTABLE GATHERING
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL LEWIS HONORED.
One of the Most Notable and Most
Successful Banquets Ever Given IN
Washington. Splendid Harmony
and High Appreciation Character
ICED the Red Lettered Affair.

The banquet given, Monday even
ing last. in honor of Mr.. VIM. h.
Lewis. Assistant Attorney General
was in all respects one OF the most
successful affairs of its kind ever
given to honor the appointment of
a distinguished cOlOred man. The
committee of arrangements spared
neither pains nor expense to make the
affair a complete success, and great
credit is due them. Never before in
Washington was an affair of this ma
ture characterized by such splendid
spirit, such marked harmony, and
such a congenial mixing of all the ele-
ments. The banquet showed that on
at least one proposition there is per-
feet harmOny-the desire to honor a
most worthy man. And many were
the praises bestowed upon President
Taft by all the speakers, and the
guest of honor, for the bestowal of
this high honor upon the race. Two
hundred colored men, anxious to
honor Mr. Lewis, and anxious to pub
licly thank the president for the honor
given, sat down to the banquet. The
tables were beautifully decorated, the
music during the serving of the repast
infectious, and the service all that
could be asked, assisted to make the
affair reach the high water mark of
banquets in Washington. The COM
mittee of arrangements, consisting, OF

with success. Mr. Hershaw who acted
as toastmaster, was particularly
pleasing, and his introduction of the
speakers appreciate, COuChed in delIc-
ate language and high tribute, and
punctuated with an enjoyable bit of
wit, his remarks were fine. His in
PRODUCTION of Mr. Lewis was excep-
tionally fine, and testified to the real
ability that Hershaw possesses. Prof.
Kelly Miller, always good, always
charming in his chOise of language
and compliments, sat the speaking
ball to rolling, and following him in
quick succession, came regular fusl-
lade of brilliant happy scintillating
responses, many of which were tipped
with wit that aided to good digestion
by arOusing hearty applause and un-
cOntrollable laguhter that was lnteC
tious Mr Lewis, the guest of honor,
to use the old, but in this case per-
fectly truthful expression, was never
better. Passing from humor to
pathCs, from seriousness to gayety he
held his friends enraptured. Hand
ing out enjoyable bon mots OF wit,
and cornicOpias of wisdom, and
through all his remarks running a
plea for harmony, and a getting to-
gether, his address, or rather response
TO the splendid and enthusiastic re-
ception rendered him, set a new record
for Washington. Letters of regrets
were read from President Taft, Attor-
ney General Wickerham, DR., Booker
T. Washington, Mr.. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, and a few others who were
unable to be present. The letters
from the White House, from the At
tOrney General, and from DR.. Wash

encouraging, and each paid a very
high tribute to Mr. Lewis. During

Dear Mr.. Anderson:
Too long a time has passed without
my acknowledging your beautiful let
ter of October 18th, which reached me
at Washington, and made a very real
contribution to the comforting power
of the friendly sympathy which
poured in upon US in generous vol
ume from every quarter. You will, |
know, readily forgive my tardiness
when I tell you that after fathers
death I remained at Washington as
long as I could, devoting my atten-
ton entirely to my mother and at
tending only to matters that would
not brook delay, and that since my
return here | have been almost con-
stantly engaged in court from early
until late.
I remember with much pleasure my
brief meeting with you here, and have
thought and spoken of you often since
the occasion when your eloquence
quite captivated me- Your own mes
sage of sympathy and those from a
few other men of your race were
among those which meant most to us
in the hour OF our great loss and sad
ness, because they had in them a note
OF affection quite peculiar to them
selves. and which bore definite and
welcome testimony to my fathers love

s~Onded to the call, about forty in all,
were among the best known social
and highly educated young men in
the CITY. The club membership will
be sixtv and no more. The object of
the new club was set out by the pres
iuent, as follows:
To meet universally felt and we'll
defined social need is the purpose of
the new club, intended TO include in
its roll OF membership the most rep
resentative men of our community
1t is a movement that has had its ori-
gin in the Young Turk" ranks of the
capital city. 1t is an activity of a
broad, comprehensive and useful ma
ture 1t is the crystalization in the
form of workable and tangible or
ganlzatlOn of the sane, logical and
thoughtful ideas drawn from an as
piring and desiring mass of commu-
nifty opinion.
The success with which this propo-
sition is meeting from the point of
view of its reception by the men of
the city who have been approached,
is indeed most encouraging. The
young men are working earnestly and
of activity is surely indicative of 10y
atty and honest concern. Besides,
they have stated almost to a man,
their readiness to lend the necessary
financial aid.
But in addition to the encourage
ment that has been accorded this en-
deavor by the older men also has been
more than gratifying. Those with
whom the society has been discussed
have almost unanimously manifested
unusual interest and commended the
move as one worthy of the unwaver-
ing support of all They also have in
some instances made plain their in
tention to lend the financial helping
hand.
Right at this juncture brief treat
ment of the specific aims of the So
ciety might be in good taste.
At the very outset the organization
purposes to have home-at first a
rented one. What is needed is place
of the elevated club type, where the
men of this city may be constantly
coming in contact with each other.
Comfortable, coy and attractive
headquarters are necessary in order
to realize this and for this reason
the body is taking such a satnd
This is the material side. And now
to a brief consideration of the lines
of growth to be fostered in this brick
and mortar temple of heart to heart
association.
First of all, everything is to be
done to produce intellectual growth
and development To induce culture,
to promote thought, to broaden the
| interests of all members, is to be one
! of the clubs slogans.
Again, stimulus to higher moral
| level must unquestiOnably be sponCa-
neously generated where a large
| group of purposeful men are coming
into constant contact with one an
other. The society is also anticipat-
ing this.
And then, another and worthy one
| of our aims is to cultivate and give
/ room under proper conditions for
| the play Of the social or gregariOus
instinct common to all human beings
Furthermore, right in this connection
the fraternal idea in its largest sense
| is to be included and cultivated
| The society is to be composed ot
three classes of members: regular
Imembers, honorary members and non.

Cerning a movement that hopes to bt
