mas Just cause for complaint.
As to Mr. Washington's wealth.
the good lady seems to have over
looked the fact that royalties from
books, magazine articles and lectures
net him enough annually to live
wherever he so desires. Besides. Mr..
Carnegie set aside six hundred thou
sand dollars in steel bonds for the
exclusive benefit OF Mr.. Washington
and his family and said he should
never want for anything while he
lived
Mr.. Washington has not deserted
his race nor is he making 'frenzied"
appeals for help for his race. He
has simply asked in a manly way that
your race restore to his what they
deprived them of for more than two
hundred years, and that is education,
wealth and the JOY OF living with
their families. The negro has sur
yived through it all-the most cruel
and inhuman slavery ever imposed
upon people, and his rapid strides
in the race for happiness and comfort
causes many OF the blood that op-
pressed him to winch and yell, stop
that black horde of men and women!"
Mr. Washington is doubtless like the
Saviour, His disciples worried him so
in order to seek rest, He told them
to watch while He went up into the
mountain to pray, and so it is with
the Wizard of Tuskogee, both races
worry him so much, that he thought
a quiet retreat beside the Duchess,
where no blacks and only the chosen
few among the whites dare enter,
would be a splendid place where
much needed rest could be had
1t is a long way from the slave
cabin of Southern plantation to
place in the ranks of the Geulds,
Vanderbilts and others of great
wealth and standing, but he has made
the journey safely through privation,
toll, rags and bitter oppression and is
out of range of Lila Day Monroe's
light artillery. Sorry to see amuni-
tion wasted that could be used in
doing good, for Booker is too high.
All are subject to mistakes and
since Mr.. Washington purchased a
railroad one day this week, he has
made a grievous error in not first
getting permission from the Kansas
equal suffrage leader He ought to
at least be manly enough to tell her
where and how he obtained the
money, and get her consent to oper-
ate it.

ITO some who have made a fetish
of Booker T. Washington it will be
perhaps a revelation OF his character
to know that he has secretly invaded
the most exclusive Of the summer
colonies on Long Island, and will be
neighbor to the Duchess OF Marl-
borough. There were none OF his
own race in the colony Why did he
want to go there3 Where does the
sudden wealth of this negro come

does he desert them now to force his

Some time ago Professor w.
E. B. Dubois, of Atlanta Uni
,versity, spoke in New York.
He spoke of the FIVE rights
which all men, white or black,
should enjoy.
The first was, he said, "The
right to individuality, and !
mean by this, the right to his
own color, and his own way Of
thinking, and to his own pre-
judices, so far as these things
do not interfere with other peo-
pies rights to the same thing.
"Second-The right to public
courtesy. This world, from now
on, is going to be world of
contact of races. 1t is going
to be utterly impossible to sep
arate and isolate men. In the
past, contact meant war, caste
and slavery, but today it must
not and cannot mean these, for
these will cost too much to be
INDUCED in. If, then, this to be
world of contact, each being in
it has the right of public cour-
tesy; to visit public places
without insul and to travel in
public conveyance unmolested
and to be entertained in public
hostelries.
"Third-A citizen OF the world
should have the right of oppor-
tunity. We used to say the right
OF education, but this demand
should be broadened to the right
Of opportunity; the right to be
educated in his childhood and
then to have :he doors of econo-
mic and political development
thrown open to him, according
10 his ability. Herein lies the
answer of that great search for
ability which human culture
must make. Hitherto, we have
said, not that we must have men
Of ability, but that we must be
or that they must be
ong to the first families. Now
he Lord, in his great wisdom,
lid not conhne the ability to ac-
luire wisdom to any one class
1f people, but distributed it to
men of many races and all de-
grees of color, and this ability
must be found and honored and
put in command, regardless OF
prejudice.
"Fourth-The citizen OF the
New World must have the righ,

We had a good friend who was
always with us until he struck pros
perity. When he did he promptly
putt our company and this brings
lorcibly to our mind how tickle some

perhaps an act of providence that
'hey advance no more than they do

telligence and use their power.
And it it impossible for the
white or black poor to obtain
those rights under capitalism, as
it is impossible for poor men to
obtain these rights under car
ism.
And so we come back again
to the aim and end of all our
struggles which is industrial,
political and social democracy,
that can only be won by the
strength, character, intelligence
and independence of the masses.
The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1911-04-28

of peace. The protection from
force and violence in the prose-
cution of work, and this cannot
be done until a stop is put to
war and lynching and peonage
and wage slavery.
"Fifth-He has right to the
truth. If he has a right to be
protected against physical viol-
ence, he has a greater right to
protection against moral lies.
Race prejudice in this land could
not stand for a day il as much
effort was made to have the
truth in regard to all human be-
ings known as is now made in
trying to spread lies about
them"
"These, then, are the FIVE
rights which all men, white and
black, and of all religions have
the right to demand; the right
of individuality; the right to
portunity; the right to peace,
public courtesy; the right to OPP
and the right to truth; and when
men have these rights, the last
bulwarks of prejudice must fall"
Now all that is singularly
beautiful, as everything is that
comes from the pen and soul
of Professor Dubois.
He is a poet, a man OF a
beautiful sensitive nature, who
loves the men Of his color and
of his race.
His book, "The Souls of
Black Folk" ranks among the
finest products OF an oppressed
people.
And that is saying a good deal
when we consider that much OF
the Old Testament was the work
OF slaves and the work OF
Aesop was the work OF a slave.
And it is interesting to OBJ
serve that Professor Dubois does
not stae as his first plea, pro-
lection from peonage and wage
slavery.
There is something tragic in
the plea of a race for the right
to public courtesy and for the
right to be respected in ones
color and individuality.
Rights, however, are not won
by pleading nor guaranteed /
when written into constitution.
They are won by strength |
and prowess, by character and
force, and independence and
The poet, the artist, the
dreamer, may plead for rights
as a matter OF justice, but the I
world grants those rights only /
when they are won.
Wage slavery will be abolish
ed when the workers know their
power and intelligently use their
power.
Negroes will have the right
to courtesy, to ;heir individual
ity, to peace and truth when
they know their power and in

RECORD FOR SAFETY
Long Island Railroad Claims No Fatal
Accident In Eighteen Years,

More than one-third of a billion pas
sengers carried in eighteen years and d
half and not one killed as the result of q
train accident is the record OF the Long
Island railroad. The official figures. an :
nounced by the Pennsylvania, show that
this subsidiary Of the Pcnnsylvania rail-
road has carried exactly 335, 1iS,S26 pas
sengers since June 1, 1898.
The Long Island railroad has probably
the densest passenger traffic In the coun-
try and, due to the restricted territory
covered, all OF this traffic is properly
termed suburban. 1t is thus seen that
committing on the Long Island has been
made as safe as modern science and en-
gineering can make IL. The density of
the traffic Is shown by the fact that the
number of passengers carried one mile
since 1893 is 4,90+. 1856 994-nearly five bill
lion-or more than third OF the pop
ation of the entire world.
The growth of Long Island is shown
in a striking way in the figures fur
nIshed today by the railroad. In 1900
the number of passengers carried was
12.3S7,649. Five years later II was 49,
99.1e2: In 1907 II was approximately "a
100000; In 1909 something over 2I,000.0 600.
and last year II had reached to 81 900, 600.
