Was the Learned Doctor Drunk?


Taft and Skirt-dance Broughton were alto
gether too previous" in publishing indignant
generations of Booker Washington.
How do they know that this particular coon
never travels in the dark?" How do they
know that he does not, occasionally, lay aside
the lrksOme robes of conventional propriety
and luxuriate in natural indulgence of in
herlle~, appetites!
The story of Bookers escapade, as sent out
from New York was: \ week or SO ago. a
white woman who lived in flat house. in
New York City, was leaving her home, late
IN the evening. She saw negro man in the
hallway and he smiled at her.
On her return he was still in the hallway;
she reported the matter to her husband, who
started to investigate.
The negro was still in the hall when the
man came out, and was looking through KEY
holes, so the white man declared. And he did
what any man would do to strange white or
black man who had accosted his wife. and
whom he found peering into key-holes.
The white man beat the negrO-and the
negro ran.
Both were arrested but Booker had to have
a doctors services, while the white man was
held by the police for assault
Booked declared he was ''lool1ing for a man
named Smith,, whose address he thought was
the house he was in.
But "the man named Smith" proved an
alibi, and had been at Tusheegee ecer since
Booker left there and his home 1cas IN Neov
jersey.
Without studying the curious array of adj
mitted facts, and without waiting for adj
ditOnal information, these three white men
Lowe, Taft and Broughton-spring up, sim
ultaneOusl y, like three Jacks from three boxes;
and they gesticulate violently, as the ventrilo-
quist says something through them, in defence
of Booker T.
Prithee If this coon was up to no monkey
tricks, why did he break and run? Why did
he skedaddle so quickly and so speedily and
for such a distance?
Why did he not tell the white man what he
was doing, at the white womans bedroom
door? Why did he speak to the white lady
in the hallway, touch her arm, and call her
"sweetheart?"
His attempted explanation of the circum-
stances is lamer than those lame ducks who
are being cared for, by Mr.. Taft, at such
tremendous expense to the country.
He says that he was innocently engaged in
looking for name on a door-plate

But II Booker was up to nothing more IMAM
that, why didn't he say so? Why did "the
great Educator" take to his heels? Why did
he try to conceal his identity? Why did he
fall down, so often?
Alas! [ fear me that Booker T. was intos
sifcated Using Kelly Miller's favorite verbal
centipede, Booker had 'recrudescence" of
igger. That's about it: Booker had played
the "Christian gentleman" so long that he
could bear it no longer.
"Of off, with the veneer of convention
and propriety!
'Turn back ards; turn back ards, oh Time, in
your flight; and let me be Coon again, just
for tonight"
There was liquor in his conduct, liquor in
his gait, liquor on his breath
AS he ran and fell; and then ran and fell
again, the husband of the white lady whom
he called "Sweetheart," was whacking away
at the learned cranium of him the said Booker
T., inficting thereon, or Whereabouts, grievous
cuts, bruises, bumps, contusions, wounds and
abrasiOns.
So complete was Booker's collapse-from
the chase, the footrace, the fight the beating,
the bleeding, the shame and the publicity
that he temporarily vanished away from pub
lie view for more than "a hours
| very much doubt whether Booker will
ever again be dinner guest at the White
House; and there is some slight prospect that
those who have stopped over in praise of 'the
great Negro will begin to seriously consider
whether he is anything more than common
place school-teacher, an ordinary lecturer, an
inferior bookwriter, and laundering
"masher."
Mark this When accosted in the hallway
OF the apartment house, he did not stand upon
his dignity, disclose his name. tell his bust
ness there, and appeal to his record and stand
ing No. he fled like guilty man, who did
not want his identity revealed. He fled
through the streets, block after block; and he
never did say who he was until the magistrate
demanded to know.

A TRIBUTE TO MISS BOARDMAN
BY PRESIDENT TAFT

THE moving spirit of the American Red Cross
today is Miss Mabel Boardman. 1t is due to her
indefatigable industry, her wide acquaintance her
high character woman, and the confidence that
wealthy and benevolent have in her that the
association has become so prosperous and powerful
for good She has visited nearly every city in the
country has organized local associations tributary to
the main association, and has held up the members
of the association the example by the people of
Japan, the people of Germany the people of Russia
and the people of other countries who have organized
similar associations and given them worldwide useful
and large endowment.
She is the who has initiated the present move
ment for giving to the American association large
endowment, the income of which may be used for sud-
den exgencies Japan has endowment of fifteen
million yen. and Red Cross, which received and
disbursed approximately million and half dollars
in the last twentyfour months, has endowment of
only two hundred thousand dollars.
1t is easy enough when there is great destruction
of human life by freak of nature to awaken the
outpouring of more money than sufficient
the need caused by any such disaster very
hard work. when there is such destruction of life at
hand to awaken the interest of people in the Great
of fund to serve the purpose of endowment flu I'd
in the American Red Cross which will take care of
situations that not spectacular but are equally
meritoriouS.
AS national asset in time of war, we'll organized
Red Cross most valuabe but the usefulness of the
Red Cross is by confined to times of war; for
the activities Of the American Red Cross have been
devoted to great number of instances of human suffer-
ing like that of San Francisco. and Messna. Italy.
From unpublished letter former Vice President
Fairbanks.

Wants to Help Everybody

IT is Miss Boardmans desire to organize and finance
the Red Cross such scale that it will render first
aid to all injured persons this country and extend
lief victims of great calamities in other countries
What she wants instant action in reply to the first
call for help, whether that cry from thousands of
persons made destitute, whether it comes from
woman child over by wagon in the street. 1t is
her ambition touch every part of the country with the
hand of humanitarians, and it is her dream teach
all men and women how to give immediate help to the
injured.
Such program calls for money, and Miss Boardman
realizes this keenly She realized last winter when she
went to New York and by appointment interviewed a
group of wealthy The men kept the appointments
but they not enthusiastic when they entered the
meeting They in with the air of expecting
to be hit on the head with lead pipe to be held cap
tive until they had paid ransoms for their escape.
To this audience Miss Boardman said something
like this "The Red Cross must have endowment fund
of two million dollars the income of which will be used
in sudden emergencies and for teaching miners railroad
employees, and the public generally how extend first
aid to the injured and the suffering The plan have
every large city raise of money which will be at
the rate of ten cents head that is for every person
city ten cents will be raised and turned into the
dowment fund"
Then she talked some more, talked business, ex-
planned the ways and means-and made the

special line of endeavor she is the boss of such political

Washington
All of which is explained by the fact that Kiss Board
man is cherishing an IDEAL achieving ambition, and
realizing dream She is eager to put the American
National Red Cross Society into such condition that
will nurse back health all those wounded in and
alleviate the suferngs of any men women who may
be the victims of catastrophes on land or sea- 10 make
this possible she is engaged in raising fund of two
million dollars
There are many persons who know that the Red
Cross does great and merclful work on batefelds;
but there few who realize what the organization has
already done in times of accidents confagrations and
earthquakes Since 1905, physicians and nurses who
enrolled under the Red Cross have carried their
blem of comfort and relief seventeen different
scenes of disaster saving lives and fighting pestience
and famine.
They have taken their banner into cities charred by
fire and crumbed by earthquake into districts devas
taed by floods into mines where fallen earth walled
humanity from the light and to lonely spots where spn
tered wood and twisted steel pinned down the victims of
railroad wrecks. They have built hospitals overnight,
they have saved men and from big forest fires,
and their deeds have been such character that of
thousands rise up today to call them blessed.
But Miss Boardman is not satisfied with ths,-which
means that the American Red Cross satisfied with
it,-for Miss Boardman is the Captain. She the
works William H. Taft, President of the United States,
is also president of the Red Cross Charles L. Magee is
its secretary, and Charles Dyer Norton, until recently
the Presidents etary its treasurer; but when all
said and done Miss Boardman is the who fires the
engines the electricity and keeps the organiza
ton tuned up and Illuminated. When Mr.. Taft, Mr..
Norton and the army officers and celebrated phanthro
piss who make the central committee of the society
assemble transact business, they make lot of sug
gestions and then turn to Miss Boardman, the only
the committee for the real orders. And they
get them.

ceedingly attentive They forgot their fears
of the lead pipe. In fact, they hit themselves
with their lead pipes; for the meeting
ended with their pronouncement:
well treat New York a city of four
million people. At ten cents head that will
four hundred thousand dollars Well
raise that much for the endowment. We
much obliged to you, Miss Boardman, for
planning this matter to us. If you really need
any more money" and so on
After that, Miss Boardman waited to see
how those New York finanCers would succeed. /
They did admirably. Seeing this she went
to Chicago, ST. Louis Cincinnati and many
other large cities, and set the ball rolling in
each town. That is the way she operates No
letter writing for her She puts on her travel IT
ing suit, boards train, and is gone. When
she comes back the business men of the city
she visited have given the Red Cross their
US for large of money-and they
always deliver the goods.
That the two million-dollar endowment fund i
will be raised within the next few months, is
not doubted by any officer of the organization.
Miss Boardman regards it a certainty and
she has laid out plans for spending the income
from the money.
In the first place, the American Red Cross
has endowment fund of only two hun
dred thousand dollars. This is hopeessly inadequate
for the purposes of the association; for when the Red
Cross strikes, it must strike quickly, the moment,
without delay. The people whom it helps must have
instant help The victims of fire and earthquake must
be fed and nursed at once or they will die. Those hurt
in wrecks and mines must be helped the hour. OBJ
viousy money must be at hand for such rapid work,
and this is not possible with fund of two hun
dred thousand dollars. But with the income from two
million dollars to draw on, there will be enough start
relief any field of disaster and within the following
day or two Congress may appropriate additional money,
similar can be raised by appeals to the public
Plan to Educate the Country
IN the second place. it is Miss Boardmans plan to edu
cate the country the art OF giving first aid to the
injured First Aid" is the motto of the Red Cross AL
ready schools of instruction for miners have been put
into effect that they may know how to for their
injured comrades. Once year the miners will have
competitions to show their skill in rendering first aid,
and winners in the competitions will be given prizes
This system, by help of the endowment fund, will be
extended to railroad employees and to the entire indus
trial world of the country. The Red Cross has issued
book on the bandaging of wounds and methods to be
used in saving lives of and sorely injured.
1t has also put different sized boxes of simple
NEEDLES and bandages with instructions for using them
The education of the public however, is not to stop
