Sat Beside Him at Dinner.

To the Editor of The Star:
1 am a bit tired of the slings about
the Booker Washington dinner at the
White House.
Now that this great Moses of his race
has passed away, 1 recall a most inter-
esting occasion of some five or six
summers ago at Bar Harbor, when l
sat by the side of Booker Washington
at a dinner given by Mr.. and Mrs. John
D. Rockefeller, jr. Other dinner guests
were Mr. and Mrs. Schefferlin, at whose
home Mr.. Washington was at the time
the honored guest for a week Mrs.
Schefferlin is a granddaughter of Cor
nelius Vanderbilt.
I have had the privilege of dining
with many people who have figured and
will figure prominently in the history
of our country. I have also on several
occasions dined with royalties. but on
dinner occasions l have never quite
felt SO deep a reverence for any of the
guests as for the man who came up
erty and prejudice, solved problems for
his race which had before seemed in
surmountable.
In a certain degree I felt the same
kind of reverence that on similar
kind of occasion would be due the great
Jewish Carpenter, whom all Christians
now cherish as the Savior of man.
kind. In the unostentatious Christian
lives of MIR. and Mrs. Rockefeller, jr.,
this little dinner was one of the many
uplifts that they continually and gladly
encourage in the interest of humanity.

Suggests Monument to Him.
70 the Diitor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star
Dead! In the midst of a sentiment he
unwittingly created among the race he
endeavored to the very last to elevate,
Booker T Washington is no more; and
his work of stupendous proportion fol-
lows him. Perhaps we shall not see his
like again in this generation. There
will rise up many who will try to imi-
tate his manner of leadership through
sycophancy, but there will be few who
will do so with the sincerity of purpose
which prompted his every action fo;
the betterment of his people and the
whole country.
DR.. Washington was born in a section
of this country, and lived and labored
! in it, in an age and time that reuuire,,
subtlety that only those who are
brought up in it with the white man
can use to enable them to succeed in
an undertaking necessitating their con-
stant presence among southern people
This subtlety DR.. Washington possessed
in remarkable degree. He knew how
to tickle the white man of the south to
cause him to laugh, and when he
laughed to get what he needed from
him, and through him others who gave,
not as a Christian duty to the institu-
tion he founded but because Washing
ton had injected his personality into
their favor, and because they knew
where the negro could get the instruc-
.tion that is given for his upIift at
Tuskeegee.
AS a monument to his faith in the
capacity and ability of his race to do
what other men of other races have
accomplished, and his indefatiga BILE in
dustry to bring about results, Tuskee-
gee will multiply her army of educated
men and ring out to future generations
the name of the man self-named. and
who brought it into existence.
The management of this institution
has been without reproach. but its
founder has not always been credited
with advocating the best interest of the
race in regard to the higher education
of the youth. Be that as it may, for
himself he has left behind an enduring
monument of his work on the minds of
men, and we suggest a monument of
enduring marble be erected in the sight
of those whom he has helped by start
ing a subscription by all the people of
the country, and have it placed in the
capital of the nation.

BOOKER WASHINGTON
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Writers to The Star Have Nothing
But Praise for the Late
Colored Educator.
As Much of an Honor to Accept as
It Was to Be Invited,
Says One.

To the Editor OF The Star:
In your paper of the 18th instant
some one, in speaking of Booker Wash
ington and ex-President Roosevelt,
stated that Mr.. Washington was not
invited to the White House to dine,
but happened to call while the Presi-
dent was lunchinS. and was asked to
join him. Another writer in your pa
per of the 10Th instant states that Mr.
Roosevelt had invited Mr.. Washington
to come and lunch with him at the
White House, and that he went to the
White House in full dress for that ex-
press purpose. To me it seems that
neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor Mr.. Wash
ington needs any apology. While. of
course. it is an honor for any one to
be invited to dine with the President,
1t seems to me that it should be con-
sidered equally an honor for man
Of Booker Washington's standing to
accept such an invitation When Mr..
Roosevelt came into the world it was
free field. Booker Washington came
into the world under every adverse
condition. He was born a slave of poor
parents, his color was against him, he

we lay aside our prejudices can't we
take off our hats to such a man and
say:
His life was gentle and the elements
so mixed in him that nature might
stand up and say to all the world, this
was a man." 1t is too bad that there is
SO much narrowness in the world, and
that SO many feel like some of the
lines which 1 will quote from one of
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poems:
I seemed to climb harI ascending track,
And Just behind me labored whose patient
face was black.
I pitied him. but hour by hour he gained upon
the path:
He stood beside me; stood upright, and then
turned in wrath.

For you are black and l am white"
I paused, struck dumb with fear, for To- the
black man was not there,
But Christ stood in his place.
And 10. the pain. the pain. the pain that looked
from that dear face.
While I myself am one Of those for
tunate ones of the Caucasian race, no
one can think that this is written with
any prejudice. but 1 have always be-
lieved in a square deal.
