Booker Washington talked In New
York few days ago of what the
negro has done In the last SO years In
the United States.
I'm proud OF my race" he declared.
Il tell you that the American negro
is the only dark-skinned race that
ever lived side by side with you white
men-and grew
Because of the negro's tangible as
well as spiritual achievements he
thinks that some consideration should
be shown him.
"You should allow the negro .
chance a readjust himself to hts

He has habit of telling story to
illustrate the point he wishes to make.
He told such story now.

he "He was a lawyer in Jackson

houseIm afraid to tell you how
much money that house cost. He was
proud of 1t and he showed me around.

asked him.

Washington compared this man with
another Pullman porter he once en-
countered After the man had done
hir work Washington sat down to talk
with him. He found the porter an
educated and intelligent man. BY and
by the porter said:
Mr., Washington. have some
whiskey in my bag. Let's have a
drink
Washington refused and expressed
his surprise that a man of the others

duty.

There Is certainly one thing which
the negro has done since his enamel
patton gave him ths opportunity. He
has proved himself brave, capable
soldier. The military history of the
nation for the past half century bears
abundant witness to the fact.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. the former
chief of the army, gave excellent tes-
zimony 70 this effect in his address at
the Lincoln birthday celebration at
Quinn chapel, Chicago, when he said l.;
Even In the Civil war the negro
proved that he was brave and worthy
to be free man. When volunteers

destined to go down to sure destruc-
ton against the Confederate vessel

appeal for negro volunteers was made
and all who heard the call responded.
In the fever camps of the Spanish war,
after negro troops had taken and held
San Juan hill. call was made for vol
unteers to fight fever In the hospitals.
An entire regiment responded as one
man. The negro is brave soldier.
He has the stuff of which good citi-
zens are made
That is expert testimony. General
Miles is quite right In instaneing the
willingness of the negro soldiers to
serva In fever camps as a great ex-
ample of heroism 1t is a better ex-
ample than mere courage in the face
of death ON the field. The story told
by Samuel Lover of the Catholic
priest who effectively rebuked the mil
itary braggart by telling of having just
left a smallpox case, whereupon the
military man in horror moved his seat

-trates this point
The negro is brave on the field. His
aptitude for nursing the sick Is well
understood. The records of the gradu-
ates of Provident hospital In this city
show that young negro women make
excellent nurses.
Altogether, there is no denying the
negro's courage, and, although it takes
more than mere courage TO make good
citizens, the possession of this excel
lent attribute gives emphasis to the
claims which the negro is making
good in many ways.--Chicago Inter
