WASHINGTON TOURS
. THROUGH LOUISIANA

Booker Washington, accompan-
led by a company of % other edu-
Gated colored men, has recently
made a visit to larger centers of
population in Louisiana. The
coming of the visitors was widely
advertised in advance, and Negro
es gathered in large numbers to at
tend the meetings held. Some
journeyed ten, twenty. and even
forty miles-on mule back, in bug
gy, in wagon. At Shreveport, on
the western border of the state, ten
thousand gathered principally to
hear Mr.. Washington. He was
the chief speaker and principal at
traction at all points. White citi-
zens of prominence lent encour-
agement to the meetings by their
presence. Booker Washington
gave wise and wholesome counsel
to both races. In talking to the
whites he reminded them that it is
better to educate Negroes than to
take care of criminals; that Louis
lana paid too high a compliment
to Negro children by assuming
that Negro child could get sat.
isfactory education by giving him
only three or four months school
ing in the year; that the nation
hears too much about lynchings
and racial difficulties and to little
about the evidences of racial
friendship and good will which
exists in the majority of commun-
tiles. And Negroes initiate white
men closely; if white people break
the law. drink and gamble, Negro
es will; if white people are sober,
law abiding and industrious, Ne
groes will be. Counseling the Ne
groes Mr.. Washington advised
them to stay in the country where
the soil and the rain and the sun
draw no color line. He urged his
hearers not to live in a knapsack,
but to settle down and to get prop
erty. He told them that fifty
years the white man had been car
rying the Negro on his back and
that he was getting tired. He
babe them consider how they
could use at home what they had
learned at school

New York City, June 1.-THE
well-known publishing firm of
Doubleday, Page & Co., will soon
announce the issuance from its
press of a new story of the life and
work of the 'Tuskegee Wizard"
entitled Booker T. Washington:
Builder of a civilization" The
new volumne is 10 be the joint
work of Lyman Beecher Stowe,
grandson of the immortal Harriet
Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle
Toms Cabin" and who has won
international renown as a maga-
zine writer and master of sociolog-
ical problems, and Emmett j Scott
secretary of Tnskegee Institute,
skilled journalist and broad gagued
man of affairs. The production
will embrace about 75,C0O words
and will deal with the achieve
ments of Tuskegee's many-sided
genius from angles heretofore
lightly traced, if dealt with at all.
The closeness of view, possible to
such compatriots as Stowe and
Scott, leads the public to expect
from their collaboration an ac-
count of the labors of Booker T.
Washington that will excel in COM
prehensiveness and thrilling inter-
est anything that has yet appeared
bearing upon the races foremost

Baltimore, Md, June 16.-Carl
j. Murphy, an instructor in Ger.
man at Howard University, Wash

the university officials several
weeks ago, telling them that he
had received his masters degree
from Howard and that he was de-
sirous Of pursuing an advanced
course in German at the university
this summer. DR.. Edward Buch-
ner, director of the summer school
replying to his letter, stated that
mo provision had been made for
colored men anu women"
Though it has never desired colored
students, several colored men have
studied there. Prof. Kelly Miller
dean of the college of arts and
science at Howard University, pur.
sued postgraduate courses in
mathematics at John Hopkins
nearly two decades ago. When
the courses for teachers in public
and private schools were begun
fifteen years ago Colored men and
women were admitted, but the pol
icy is now one in exclusion. The
university's founder, for which it
is named, is said to have no stipu-
lation in the giving of its millions
for the establishment of the insti-
tuition that colored students were
to be barred.

police that his savings of $1,70O,
consisting of thirty $50 bills, two
$50 octagonal gold pieces and five
500 gold pieces, had disappeared
from a small savings bank in his
home at 1922 Fairfax avenue.
He said he put the gold and bills
in the bank on June 4 and hid it
in a basement wall between two
joists. He gave the bank to his
wife last week without telling her
how much was in it, to deposit its
contents in the franklin Bank.
When she reached the institution
only pennies and a few dollars

"Gentlemen:- A noble deed is
like the light that dissapates the
darkness of the world, and after
the bad weather we have had for
so long and now that the sun is
shining, will you please give the
enclosed check to the colored man
who saved Miss Donovan's life,
and with it convey to him my filic-
iiation upon the race quality of
character that endungers the life
of it's possessor in the service of a
stranger, and from my official po-
sition the privilege of extending
to him thanks of all the people OF
Atlantic City.
Yours truly,
VIM. Riddle, Mayor.
Speaking of the affair Mrs. VIM
r. Taylor, who was an eye witness,
says:
When Stoner saw the couple in
danger he jumped over the railing
to the beach, which was about ten
feet below, throwing off his coat,
he dashed into the sea. AS he
reached Miss Donovan she grabbed
his neck tie and head on to Stoner,
who called for help. A man in a
bathing suit rendered him valu-
able assistance. Miss Donovan's
companion, Edward Brady, was
drowned. My opinion is, if the
men had needed to Stoner's cry
for help, the life of Mr.. Brady
would have been saved.
We are using our efforts to see
that Mr.. Stoner receives a Carne-
gle Medal.
The fact that there were thou
sands of men on the beach and
this one armed hero, regardless Of
the handicap, risked his life to save
the girl, makes him eligible for the
honor.i

Washington, June 2l.-The Ok
lahoma constitutional ''grandfath-
er clause" restricting the Negro
vote, was today annuled as uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court.
For more than fifteen years the
grandfather clause" has been in.
serted in Constitutions of South
ern states. The most popular
form has been to exempt from ed
dcational and property tests for
voting those who could vote in
1866, 1867 or 1868, thus leaving
tests to apply to those who did not
vote at those dates.
The Oklahoma grandfather
clause provides chat no person
shall be registered as an elector in
this state, or be allowed to vote in
any election herein, unless he be
able to read and write any section
of the constitution of the state of
Oklahoma, but no person who was
on Jan l, 1866, or at any time
prior thereto, entitled to vote un
der any form of government, or
who at that time resided in some
foreign nation, and no ,lineal de-
scendant of such person, shall be
denied the right to register and
vote because of his inability to so
read and write sections of such
constitution"
In our review of the above artic-
lie it can clearly be seen as well as
understood that the DEMOCRA-
CY OF AMERICANS intends to
assert itself unprejudicially when
the Interpretation of our constitu-
ton is placed in the hands of good,
honest, upright and capable Amer
lean citizens, who in their high
and ennobling position of MEM
bers of the United States Supreme
Court are SO dignifed as to refuse
to be compromised by any infu-
ence whether it be monetary, mob
rule, or otherwise, as their CRADLE
training, backed-up by good envir-
onments aud strongl ly supported
by their scholastic training and
moral ethics would offer a power
of disallowance in making them be
the authors of injustice and wrong.
This Grandfather Clause"-a
wicked, vicious and un-American
law enated in portions of the
Southland is one of the vilest
agencies that have caused the
breach to be wider and wider in
the acceptance of our being real
and true Americans, and our
hearts go out with an inexpress-
ible gladness when we note the
action of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court in placing to their
credit another record in the face
