DR.. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
sTARTLEs Us.
From the Louisville News.

The Louisville Courier-Journal quotes
DR.. Washington as saying in a recent
speech that "the Negro should stop
fighting segregation and lend his ener-
gies toward identifying the neighbOr-
hood in which be lives" If DR.. Wash
ington is correctly quoted this is indeed
most diseouraging. It is ineoneeivable
that one who occupies a position in the
Afro-Ameriean world should so far for
get his position and his dignity as to
urge his race to cease protesting the
most eowardly humiliating Legislation
in the land.
1t is safe to say that segregation has
many champions even among our own
race, but almost without exception they
are to be found among that element
where there is the least intelligence and
where there is that inherent fear of
opposing anything the White man
chooses to do. But here we are smitten
from an unexpected quarter; . reeog.
nized leader Of his race, an educator
tells Us to forget our manhood; to for
get the sacred and inalienable rights
Of political and personal liberty and
to passively submit to the humiliation
Of being pushed aside as though we
are a race Of lepers, because We would
seek cleaner and healthier neighbor-
hoods in which to live.
To submit to a degradation without
serious objection is worse than eowardly;
it is unmanly and ignoble, and any
race that would do so without first
exhausting every means of moral and
legal protest is unworthy of the name
of civilized. Segregation is wrong;
wrong in principle and fact and if DR..
Washington believes it is wrong, as we
think he does; it is to be deeply re-
GREETED that he lacks the moral stamina
to say so.
It is obvious even to the friends and
supporters of Dr.. Washington, that, If
he is quoted accurately, he win not, can
not in the future be regarded as being
in sympathy with the Afro-Ameriean
who places his self-respeet and man
hood above everything else and who
is not willing to sacrifice either for the
sake Of living on more eOngenial terms
with his White brother.

DR.. Washington's statement is as
puzzling to The News as it is painful,
because even if he believes that we
should not oppose segregation it seems
worse than a blunder for him to throw
so vulnerable a spot to the opponents
of his policies by saying so.
However the advice of the Sage Of
Tuskegee is not going to have any
effect on our legal fight one way or
the other. Surprise and disgust are
expressed on all sides by those who
read his quotation and The News is
forced to confess to the drawing of
some very painful conclusions, none of
which is too complimentary to DR..
Washington.
The above is reproduced from the
Louisville News, without comment for
the benefit Of the followers of Booker
7. Washington in this city and if they
can derive any comfort from his views
on segregation they are heartily well
come to them.-Editor.

The country expects every man here
to do his duty without fear of personal
consequences, and 1 shall perform mine
now no matter what the future may
have in store for me. The country is
paramount to all else. The man in
official life who neglects it is deserving
of eensure-party advantage and per
sonal ambition must be subordinated.
1 would consider myself unworthy of
the high place hold if I did not con-
slider my first obligation to remain here
and aid in every way within my power
to carry America safely through the
present crisis-so that when the time
comes this country may be the in
strumentality through which lasting
place and the blessings of liberty may
be restored throughout the world, our
people take the place which God has
ordained they shall occupy as directors
in all things calculated to make the
world better, friends dearer, home
purer, peace more enduring, men less
warlike, humanity more God fearing
and out of all our efforts let us hope
and pray there may arise a universal
brotherhood whose motto shall be peace
and good win among men.
Most sincerely yours,

SCHOOLS BUILT BY NEGROES

Within the last two years the Negroes

Of $1O,3O0. All but one Of them win

that one receives 800, making the
annual state aid to Negro rural schools
in the county $1,000. These figures do
not include the gift of the Bowling

Of land, the whole estimated as worth
