The banquet in honor Of Mr., Will
liam II. Lewis, assistant attorney
general Of the United States, on: Mon
day evening Of last week in True Re-
formers Hall, was one Of the finest
and most remarkable social functions
ever held atothe capital OF the ma

dred of the most representative COL

DENT Taft Of colored lawyer of the
highest fitness to the most exalted

however Negroes may differ on other
issues, on this particular point of
gratitude for honors extended to a
worthy representative of our people,
they proved to be a unit. The ban
quet was a veritable "love feast
and the personnel present, in educa-
ton, wealth, and civic usefulness,
could not be duplicated in any other
community in the land
The hall decorations were beauti-
full and impressive The American
colors abounded everywhere, and in
two festoons were found entwined in
our own flags, the national emblems
OF Liberia, Cuba and Haiti, our sis
ter republics. The menu, served in
painstaking style by Caterer Eman-
uel Murray, was delightful The
speeches were the finest and most fe-
l1c1tous heard at any similar function
IN many day-if ever. The closing
address Of Mr.. Lewis, in response
to the many good things said Of him
by the spokesman Of the occasion.
was masterpiece Of eloquence a<d
l'Droad, common-sense, spiced daintily
with characteristic wit and humor.
Mr.. Lewis "Holds Place in Trust for
the Race"
Said Mr.. Lewis, among countless
other happy remarks:

the things buyers rely on for help In ad-

cause OF the outlook for a bumper winter

The shipping demand for corn has i'm
proved. The country Is offering little corn
and cash handlers predict the supply will
be light until the busy farm season Is
over. There is a feeling of confidence also
because OF the steadily decreasing stocks.
