At the conclusion of DR.. Washing
tons address calls we're made for
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw who occupied
a seat upon the rostrum and in re-
Spouse to these insistent calls Judge
Latshaw delivered one of the most
forceful and eloquent addresses of his
career. And to say that it was Wild
ly %applauded is putting it mild. He
paid high compliment to DR.. Wash
ington and said that if there were
more Booker T. W%ashingtons there
would be fewer criminal judges, jails
and Aims houses. And that regard
less of color or color prejudice he was
proud to claim DR.. Washington as
friend and acclaim him n of Amer
ica's and the worlds greatest men.
In conclusion he urged the colored
people to follow the teachings of DR..
Washington, be thrifty, industrious
and take advantage of their opportuni-
ties for education and after awhile
the socalled race problem would set
tie itself. At the conclusion of his
address Judge Latshaw was given an
ovation.
After the address a banquet ten.

parlors of the Church and a hundred
