is masterpiece. He says:
washington was a great educator
In that he never forgot that he was
dealing with human material-that he
was commissioned Of God, not 80 much
to fill mems minds with knowledge az
to help them to fulfill their own lives
He gave to his people something more
precious than gold-the knowledge that
the art Of service and the part of lead
ership are Complementary terms.
washington dared to proclaim to his
newly freed people that freedom was
not thing Of fat or proclamation, but
must be wrought out Of their own
souls. Statesman was he, who sound.
ed the note of service to a race which
after centuries Of oppression, inevita.
bly, longed to hear its rights urged and
stressed. He realized that hand in
hand with every advance made by his
race must go a corresponding gain in
the good will Of the white race.
This great American taught our de.
mocracy a lesson which it needs to
learn. lest 1t cease to be. He taught
US that the greatest thing in life is
self forgetful service. Drunk as we
are with things, intoxicated as we are
with the passion Of self satisfaction
and self aggrandizement, let us not for.

man in his quiet strength and fine dig
nity-how great thing Is the selness

Let the Negro remember that the
color line vanishes In the presence of
real greatness. Let the Negro ever
bear in mind that, while an entire race
cannot seek protection under the shad-
ow Of one great name or ten great
names, a race, like a man, must stand
upon its own feet and not upon the
shoulders Of a single man"

WASHINGTON WAS RIGHT.

Well Known Southern White Man
Lauds Work Of Late Educator.
Referring to the struggles and sue
cSsses of the Negro race In the United
States in q recent address, Frank d.
Rash Of Kentucky said:
mo longer does the gallant, be-
whiskered southern colonel surround
himself with cupbearers and lounge ON
the broad veranda Of his colonial man
sion, all the while slipping the seductive
mint julep from the frosted cup Of sill
yer. and, though the Kentucky colo
mel still lives, you will now see him
donning cap and overalls and leading
the forces of industry in bringing
Kentucky's marvellous mineral wealth
to the use of mankind or yet perhaps
as the executive directing his stan IN
any one of the many manufacturing
enterprises springing up within the
borders of the commonwealth.
Much has been written and said
concerning a SO called Negro problem
a great part of this at long distance
and 1t may be that the first hand ex-
periences and observation Of south
erner may be Of interest As respects
the completeness of Information Of
many writer's on this subject, the av-
erage southerner cannot avoid regard
ing some statements as did the tive
old Irish ladies'. The archbishop had
preached a fine sermon on married
Life and its beauties. The tive old la
dies, both with figures and families OF
ample proportions, were heard coming
out Of church commenting on the ad-
dress.
"'T1s a fine sermon his riverence
would be after givin' u.s. said one to
the other. 1t is. indade,' was the re-
ply, and l wish i knew as little about
the matther as he does
"In expressing the belief that Negro
labor is one of the greatest assets OF
southern industry IT is deyoutly to be
hoped that such expression Will not be
considered in the light of an attempt to
point out any commercial advantage OF
one section of the country. but rather
a desire to present the idea of the
thouRhtful southerner OF today and to
pay just tribute to the worthy southern
Negro
THAT remarkable man. Booker T.
Washington. pointed out to the people
Of his race that their only hope lay In
work, hard work and enicient work, in
the fields, the forests, the factories and
the mines, in the industrial school and
in the college and in the professions.
and to that end never ceased his call
to service. You will recall his wonder
full address at the opening Of the Cot
ton States exposition in Atlanta in
1895, which did more than any public
utterance OF any man to temper suspi-
cion and race hatred and to bring
about a better understanding in the

while the utopian state in this un-
| derstanding has not been reached and
may never be. yet nevertheless we are
day by day and year by year approach
ing Booker T. Washington's dream for
the south.
Having had opportunity to observe
the application of the Industrial prin.
ciples Booker T. Washington laid
down for the southern Negro, or. as to
that. for all peoples. 1t is gratifying to
bear testimony to the correctness of
those ideas. II such testimony were
needed. in which the best thought Of

We know that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh
We know that Jesus made every preparation for the

Of the making of organizations there is no end!
I tell you, the devil did shrewder thing than
when he began to launch organizations because he takes
up all of the time Of the people, and all their money in dues

Hunting by AeropEane.

The hunting spirit has not been slow
Ito take it's cue from the successful use
tof the aeroplGne in war. If the scout
lean make his way unchecked above the
lines of the enemy and search them
4out as he will; If he can drop bombs
Tor shoot with definite effect on the
Ienemy below, then surely the hunter,
being able to fly low with no risk to
himself, could follow his game from
the air and get it at will.
This has been done with success.
The Literary Digest tells of hunting
coyotes over the western plains by
aircraft, quoting from Flying the de-
tails of how it is done. The animals
are taken unawares. On the air side,
the only side from which they have
never had reason to. expect attack,
their instinct has left them unguarded.
This will be remedied in time, but
what good will it do them? The aero
plane can fly faster than the animal
can un. 1t probably will be adapted
to the hunting of many forms of big
game the world over, giving the hunter
the advantage of a protection from the
recoil of such animals as tigers, lions
and elephants which he never could
have before.

Manic of 100 Years.

An examination of American cities a
century ago presents many curiosities.
In 1900, not New York, but Philadel-
iphia, was our largest city-a pre-em-
thence it held until 1880. After Phil
adelphia, New York, Baltimore and
Boston, Charleston, S. c., was the
largest American city. But l defy any
one to give the name of the sixth
largest American town in 1900. 1t was
Northern Liberties. How many Amer
Jeans today ever heard of this metropo-
lis? An antiquarian research dis
closes that it is now part of Philadel-
iphia. After Northern Liberties, our
biggest city was Southwark, Pa; then
came Salem, Mass. Such were the
places a hundred years ago, which en-
tered in the competition for primacy.
Worlds Work.
