RILEY in Tho Life ond Times OF
Booker T. Warrington (Revcln. with
emphasis upon the fact. missing from
the common estimate Of Mr.. WASH
ington's labors. that they were Of at
least As much service to the white a ce
as to the blacks. II anything could
have done more TO make the founder
and long time head OF Tuskegee Insti-
tute happy than It's prosperity as an
educational enterprise. II was the
pride Of being able In himself TO en-
einplify the correctness Of his plat
form. based upon the mental and
other qualifications OF his people.
No successful n ever rose to emil
hence from n less promising start
than did Booker Washington. Born
in slavery and set down in boyhood in
about as hopeless an environment as
could be imagined, outside Of that
condition, for acknowledgment. he had
the desire for betterment. gained an
education by c%onquerlng seemingly in
superable %dificulties. and proceeded to
put II to most practical uses. In order
to secure the opportunity TO lead
others Of his race in the way he had
cut for himself he had TO use not only
the faith that moves mountains but
material and humble tools as well:
for HE labor OF his own hands went
into the building Of the irst crude
structure that housed hts famous
school. And at the start of his great
venture the difficulty was for him to
convince almost persuaded friends
that he vas not a unique exception
to the rule Of racial character but an
example Of what his race might be-
come. and peculiarly fitted to be an
agent In It's advancement. II Is a fne
story of good sense. pluck and hard
work crowned by uccess that Mr..
Riley tells in un~pretentious. straight
forward style.

the Booker Washington who fought
for Tuskegee that uttered the last one:
The wisest among my race understand
that the agitation OF the questions Of
social equality is the extremest folly
and that progress in all the privileges
that will come to us must be the re.
suit OF severe and constant struggle
rather than Of artificial forcing. No

ing participants In the events Of those
days. So OF the plot to attack Lincoln
on his way to the White House. on
February 81 Senator Seward called his
BON to him and said he had received a
note from Gen. Scott and Col. Stone
containing most important information
that called for immediate action, and
showed him q letter he had written to
Lincoln enclosing the other communal
cation. Senator Seward said there was
at least as much reason to believe as
to doubt the story Of the plot. Lincoln
must be warned. The younger Seward
was to 90 to him at Philadelphia as
quickly and secretly as possible. and
urge him to change his schedule SO as
TO make his passage through Balti-
more Unexpectedly.
The messenger had to wait an hour
for Lincoln to get away from the press
of a reception; when he saw him. he
says. he "could not but notice how ac-
cuNtely the campaign portraits had
copied his features. and how totally
they had omitted his W look,
and his pleasant. kindly SMILE"
Lincoln, at first sceptical. Don began
to regard the warning with more seri-
Gus interest. lie asked II such a name
as Pinkerton" had been mentioned in
connection with II. He spoke of rumor
ne had heard before leaving Illinois
"about people who were intending to
do me a mischief" and said his friends

turned a report similar to that of Scott

filtered through two channels. and
reaching me in two ways. then that
don't make It any stronger"
The logic was irrefutable but did not
quiet the apprehensions Of the Presi-
dent-elect's friends. Finally Lincoln
said: well, we haven't got to decide
II tonight. anyway. and I SEQ it's get.
ting late" Then he assured them he
would think It over carefully and de-
eide before morning.
The story of the incident closes with
this interesting paragraph:
AZ the breakfast table the next day I
found the morning papers announced that
Mr.. Lincoln had risen early. In order to 20
over TO Independence Hall to attend the
nag raising there III was Washington's
Birthday. They gave also . report Of his
remarks there. One sentence In these had
. deeper meaning than his audience
guessed. Advsrting to the principle EN-

TEACHERS AND THE FLAG
I have just read the first letter in
your Public Forum of Wednesday,
Aug. 2. Since was one of the wom-
en- who, in the writer's phraseoIogy,
made fiouting remarks about our
flags decorating the rooms of the
board of education" l desire to eX-
plain to her what 1 meant. l said
something to the effect that the dis
play of flags in that room was far
cicaL meant by that that the acts
of the board of education during the
past two years have been a deseCra-
ton of the principles for which our
flag stands. The board has f1outed
the principles of democracy and fair
play, and in their stead has tried to
introduce a Prusso-Russian autoc-
racy.
Lest Citizen" should think that I
am a Catholic, inasmUch as the
Catholic bugaboo seems to frighten
her, let me say that my ancestors on
all sides first set foot in America very
nearly 300 years ago, and that in all
those 300 years 1 have not had a
Catholic relative. hope, however,
that 1 am broad enough to be willing
that my fellow teachers should fol-
low their own faith and that I have
wits enough to see through the at
tempts of the big interests to win
the little people to support bHndly
their tyrannOUs course by throwing
the dust of religious controversy into
their eyes. There is much loose talk
these days about Americanism. 1t is
easy to throw up hats and shout
America" 1t is not so easy to work
steadily and bravely for the things
that make for a noble America. /
