BOOKER WASHINGTON

The death of Booker Washington, the
well known colored educator and leader
at Tuskegee, Ala, Sunday, is great
loss to the coiored race. He strove to
fit the people of his race for achievement
in the vocation of labor, trade, industry
and higher service. His publications
include: The Future of the American
Negro. Up from Slavery and Character
Building.
Funeral services were conducted at
the institute yesterday. A special train
was run from Montgomery which
brought state officials. Messages Of
coincidence were sent TO the Washing
ton home from throughout the country,
They came from leaders of thought
and endeavor in all walks of life.
Governor Charles Henderson of Ala
hama, issued the following on the death
Of Booker Washington:
"In the death of Booker T. Washing
ton the colored race has lost its greatest
leader. He was a man Of unusual force
and executive ability, and in many re-
spects rose above the environments of
race. In my opinion his efforts toward
the development of his people have
been of great benefit to them and to
the entire south. Born a slave, living
life of earnest endeavor, and at his
death the chief executive of an institu-
ton of nationwide reputation created
by his own brain and energy,
marks him as one of the great men OF
his time"

OLD AS THE RACE
Setting Aside a Period for
Thanksgiving Is a Custom
OF Remote antiquity.

THE idea is prevalent In the Unit
j ed States that our Thanksgiving
IL peculiarly an American custom
OF New England origin. This Ia true
In part only. The general observance
through many years OF a set day On
which to give thanks to Almighty God
for his blessings has made the custom
distinctively American: but its origin
long antedates the settlement of the
western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for it. The idea of Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an
tiquity. 1t Is part Of natural religion.
and Is probably as old as the human
race. In written records, we have
ample evidence that the festival was
celebrated In connection with the
fruits of the earth" by the ancient
Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks and
the Romans. Long before Luther's
revolt from Rome i'm the sixteenth CEN
fury 1t had been observed by the
Christians; and after the Reformation,
Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Professionals. especially
those of England.
The festival appears early In Jewish
history, and, as 1t was connected with
the land and its possession, may have
had Canaanitish prototype. Its cele-
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning two vessels Of silver were
carried In a ceremonious manner to
the temple, one full of water. the other
| of wine, which were poured at the foot
| of the altar Of burnt offerings, always
| on the seventh day of the festival.
Plutarch describes this ceremonial
| which he believed was a feast OF Bac'
| chus. He says: 1.-THE Jews celebrate
| two feasts of Bacchus. In the midst
| of the vintage they spread tables
| spread with all manner Of fruits, and
live In taberuacies made especially oil
| palms and ivy together. A few
days later they kept another festiva
which was openly dedicated to BAG
chus, for they carried boughs of palms
In their hands, with which they wen
into the temple, the Levites going be
fore with instruments of music"
Analogous to the Jewish festiva
and possibly borrowed from 1t wal
that of the old Greeks. the Thesmor
phia. This was a feast to Demeter
the goddess of the harvest. 1t Taste,
nine days and consisted of sacrifices
OF the products of the soil with obla
tions OF wine. milk and honey" The
ocritus refers to 1t In the "Seventl
ldyll," where Simichidas says: Now
this Is our way to the Thalysia; 70
our friends. In sooth, are making
feast to Demeter of the beautiful
robe. offering the first fruits of thei
abundance, since for them In bour
teous manner, the goddess has pile

giving day has its prototype in the
Plymouth thanksgiving festival OF
1921. II has been asserted repeatedly
that the Plymouth festival was sug
gested to the Pilgrims by the Jewish
Feast Of lngathering. That is no,
probable. as the differences between
them are more striking than the like,
nesses. They were of the same dura
tion. each lasting n week; and in com
mon with all other harvest festivals
they had the same intent. But b the
Jewish festival sacrifice and worship
were the prevailing characteristics
while in that of the Pilgrims they were
entirely wanting.

of motion picture schools deliberately
wrote out letters purported to come
from moving picture show owners.
They wrote out form letters and had
the applicants send them to out-of-

had it framed with picture show men
of this city to write that students had
worked in their theaters for six
months, Miller says.

DRUNKEN BRUTE

Residents of the northeast end OF
town were much stirred up about
eight O'Clock last night, when some
drunken brute attempted to crimin-
ally attack the ten year old daugh-
ters of William Ayers and Frank
Hayes, East Anthony street.
The two girls, with a number of
other little children, had been play
ing in front of Ayers and VIM. Spiel
er's home. The two older children
playing they were goig to town,
walked down to the corner of Arm
strong street, near the east school
building, where they were accosted
by a drunken stranger, who after Of
fering the tots a bottle Of whiskey,
took each child by the arm and en-
deavored to get them to go over to
the school building. Their cries at
tracted the other children, whose
call brought VIM. Spieler from his
house. He hurried to the building,
but the stranger had started through
the school lot. The rest of the neigh
bOrhood was aroused and a hurled
call sent for Officer Heistan. He
rushed to the scene in his auto, but
they searched the premises
no trace of the fellow could be found.
Heistan on his way back to town

the corner of Wayne and Main streets

ers and the children. The came up
town, and although the fellow tailed
in a way with the description offered
by Mr.. Spieler, the children didn't
believe he was the man that had ac-

nothing of the affair and was not ar
rested.
