statements. the breadth and Iiberality
of his convictions. and the optimistic
uplift that he gave 20 me when speak

deep, and they convey a meaning far
beyond the words themselves | have
known intimate friends many of
the negro citizens of the republic. who
developed into living factors In the

but none equaled DR. Washington. for

His highest ambition and great desire
was to be helpful in shaping not only
the destiny of his own race, but by and
through their elevation the DESTINY OF
all races. 1t was a grand thought. and
one that will live after him
In recognizing these attributes and
traits of character j am doing hut
scant justice to one who will stand
pre-eminent in the annals of our coun.

parts of the world. themselves the vic.
