WHO'S WHO?.

attacks upon and criticism OF DR..
Washington has been that DR..
Washington in many OF his ad-
dresses told some plain truths as
to our faults. Until industrial ed
ucation became a fever with the
whites, Prof. Dubois and his clan
antagonized, or to be more ex-
act tried to antagonize DR.. Wash
Iington's safe, sane propaganda OF
industrial education for the Ne
gro masses. Now that the proud
Anglo-Saxon, with centuries OF
civilization behind him, and the
IDOssessor Of countless institutions
| of higher education has, like DR..
Washington, awoke to the neces-
s;ty of industrial education for
his masses, Prof. Dubois has
Slumped in his vituperation OF
DIR Washington's industrial edu-
cation idea, and now, instead, Bit
terly assails the Doctor because
he urges stability while pointing
out some of our weaknesses as
a thing to flee from.
On the night of December so,
1907, Senator Joseph Forney
Johnston, of Alabama, spoke be-
fore the Algonquin Club at Bos-
ton, touching upon the race ques-
ton. His address was particular
ly pessimistic for our race; in
fact, it was rather a Caustic crit
icism OF the race. His whole ar
gument in support of his belief in
our inferiority and immortality
was prediCated upon statement
made by Prof. Dubois. In begin
ming he said: prof. Dubois, ,one
Of the ablest of American Ne
'groes, says; 'Laziness and pro-
1niscuous sexual intercourse are
the besetting sins OF the lower
class; we are diseased and devel-
oping criminal tendencies, and an
alarming per cent of our men and
women are impure"
This address of Senator John
ston, in which he assails the race
upon a statement made by Prof
Dubois, has recently been order
ed printed by the United States
Senate as a public document, and
as such is being circulated. No
where in any of DR.. Washing
toms addresses can you find
statement so harsh to the race, Sc
unjust, and so hurtful as is this
statement made by Prof. Dubois
Nowhere in any of DR.. Washing
tons addresses can you find a
statement so pessismistic of the
race. And yet this is the cynical.
selfish, bigoted educator % who
criticises DR.. Wasihngton's op-
timism, and praise of and conf
dence in his people, among whom
he lives and labors. Now, who's
who?

ANOTHER STOCK CO.

And now it is reported that a
local paper contemplates issuing
stock for stock newspaper COM
pany. The people of this city
have long since concluded that
there have been enough fake stock
companies organized in this city
and that they don't propose tc
lose any more money. The last
stock company that was organ,
lied was by the Colored Ameri.
can. from which the Washington
American undoubtedly took It's
name. There are dozens of peo-
pie in this city today who have
in their possession Colored Am.
erican stock.
If the local contemporary last
week wants TO fill a long-felt
want. as it stated. certainly il
does not want the people to pur-
chase stock in an institution that
will never pay. Has there evcr
been a newspaper stock COMPANY
n1aced upon a paving basis in

Board of Education is responsible
for the discrimination in the esti-

the Board of Education charges
that the Commissioners are the

MONEY FOR COLORED
SCHOOLS

SCHOOLS
If the law enacted by Congress
June, 1864, which provided that
such a proportion of all school
funds raised in Washington and
Georgetown should be set apart
for colored schools as the num-
Der of coIored children between
the ages of six and seventeen bear
to the whole number of children
in said cities" be adhered to there
would be no reason for any argu-
ment or charge of discrimination
between the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia and the
Board of Education.
This wise and just, to all con-
cerned law was drawn by the late
Senator Patterson,of New Hamp-
shire, generally known among old
Washingtonians as the father of
the educational system for col
ored children in the cities of
Washington and Georgetown -
and was found to work without
friction, and rendered equal and
exact justice to both white and
colored schools. The law was
strictly observed, and in fact so
much so that when the late Mat
thew G. Emery was elected may
or of Washington, upon his at
tention being called by the then
Auditor Petty, that there was a
large amount of money due the
colored schools, being shown by
Auditor Petty the figures, order
ed that the money be placed to
the credit of the colored school
fund. The law was adhered to
for some time after the order Of
the District Commissioners con-
soidating the several school
boards. which took effect August
g, 1874, but for some unexplain-
ed reason has, up to this time,
been ignored. The law, as stat
ed before, worked no injustice to
either white or cOlored school, as
the amount paid for the support
of the colored school was pro-
pOrtionately based upon what
was actually provided for the
white schools. In other words,
the cOlored school fund was pred
icated upon the proportion and
in no way curtailed the amount
needed for the support OF the
white schools. That the law was
equitable is proven by the fact
that during its active enforce
ment these existed perfect har-
mony among all concerned, and
if any doubt exists as to its fair
ness and absence from friction
it can soon be dispelled by con
ferring with Mr.. Petty, who a:
Auditor during the active lifeo,
tn law had not only official bu
personal knowledge of the salts
factory working of the law. The
subsequent laws of Congress OF
school matters in no wise affect
ed the original act of June, 1864
so far as related to the financial
support of the colored schools
charging only the appointment oi
trustees and consolidating the
then several school boards into
one board for the District of Co.
lumbia. The return to the law
of June, 1864, with notifications
if any are needed, will not only
remove one cause for friction be
tween Commissioners and School

THE CARNEGIE HEROES.

Republics are ungratetul, and he-
roes often never even get thanks. An
drew Carnegie's medals and cash
awards, twenty-six of which were dis
tributed last week, are one of the few
instances where poetic justice is done.
1t is notable that most of these
awards go to men in quite humble or
very ordinary ranks of life. They are
not the fellows who tramp down the
streets with lordly front and swell
clothes. All of which shows that the
stained working clothes and soiled
hands often hide heart that is true
gold.
These awards not merely give the
recipient something to kindle glow
of pride for life time, but they must
be of very practical service. A fellow
who receives this distinction must at
tract wide notice, which must tend
to improve his chances for advance
ment in his trade or business, not to
speak of the cash payment handed out
where needed. The feeling of the hol
lowness of human society, which SO
often produces bitterness in many
hearts, is little relieved when merit

BLAME BRIDGE FOR NERVES.

New York, Jan. PA New York
newspaper made this assertion:
AS a medical man | am convinced
that gambling at cards has had much
to do with the increase of nervous
breakdown among a certain class of
women. And if heredity counts, what
must be the effect of the present man
ia for gambling on the next genera
ton?
1--WE have had more nervous break
downs among both men and women
since the bridge craze took posses
sion of this country several years ago.
Undoubtedly there is a direct rela-
ton between the two phenomena.
women win money more eagerly
and they lose it harder than men.
The reason is that often they stake
money which is not their own. Mar
ried women dependent on their hus.
bands have not a large fund for
amusement If they play for high
stakes and lose, they must embezzle
the household money or use their
allowance for clothes to pay their
debts. The worry over losses at
cards and the scheming to pay them
has driven many card fiend to ner
vOus prostration.
in my opinion, gambling for mon
ely is a symptom, not a cause of the
great American disease. If the wo
men who play bridge all day were not
engaged in that pastime they would
| be engaged in something just as fu
| tile, running off with a neighbor's
husband, perhaps, or reading Elinol
| Glyn. Gambling is the expression
gent temperament.
81 believe many women of this type
gamble just to kill time and their OWL
thoughts. They are engaged in the
most fatiguing occupation in the
| world. A woman who works eigh
or ten hours a day at gainful occu
/ patton is happier and really does {
less wearing work than the idle wife
who jumps from a morning bridge
party to a luncheon with bridge al
afternoon and eats hasty dinner tC
have another rubber or so before go
ing to bed. Nothing is more fatiguint
to the nerves than the feverish effor
to hide even from herself her owl
lfutility But this woman is of limit
ed type. Among the more intelligen
women of the leisure class there arr
much more optimistic signs of thu
time"
