highly esteemed friend, DR.. A. WILDER
force Williams had some trouble with
the federal government and many of
his so-called friends had pronounced
him guilty of doing wrong even before
he had been proven guilty in a court of
Justice, We had absolute faith in his
honesty and innocence and here is what
he had to say in that respect.
DIR. A. WHEREFORE WILLIAMS,
1858 8. STATE ST.
Chicago, May Goth, 1915.
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor,
Editor of The Broad AK,
6532 st. Lawrence Ave-, Chicago.
My dear friend:
Permit me to thank you for the kind
statement of the facts in your recent
issue relative to the trouble that 1 had
with the Federal Government.
The thing that most impressed me
was the expression of your confidence
in me and your good wishes that l
would be able at the time of the trial
to prove my absolute innocence of any
attempt to violate the Harrison Law in
regard to prescribing and dispensing
certain narcotic drugs.
1 have for years elassed you as one
of my best friends in Chicago, and with
this kind act on your part, am fully
persuaded that you are capable of be-
ing a friend to a fellow when many
who had been louder in proclaiming
their friendship were disposed to de-
sert him in time of trouble and were
ready to condemn him without even
giving him hearing or trial.
Mrs. Williams joins me in expressing
to you our sincere thanks for the kind
and fair things you said of me.
Sincerely yours,
A. WHEREFORE WILLIAMS.

A. WHEREFORE WILLIAMS

The first part Of November, 1915,
much was said in the daily newspapers
concerning the cause of the illness of
the late DR.. Booker T. Washington and
it was asserted at that time through
the columns of many of them that DR..
w. A. Bastedo of New York City had
contended that "racial characteristics
were the main cause responsible for
DR.. Booker T. Washington's break
down." His statement brought forth
an editorial comment from us which he
did not relish very well and here is his
letter of explanation to US as to just
what he did say at that time.

YORK.

Julius F. Taylor,
Editor of The Broad Az,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear SIR
1t has just come to my notice that
in your paper of November 18th, in an
article about Booker Washington, you
quoted me as saying "Racial character
istics are in part responsible for DR..
Washington breakdown" and you
follow this with remarks about race
prejudice and narrow-mindedness on
my part.
As doubtless you now know, Dr..
Washington died of Bright's disease,
and think it very unfortunate indeed
that any reporter should have attached
my name to any such statement as you
have quoted. In the first place, DR..
Washington would not have been sent
to me had 1 had such race prejudice,
and in the second, we all made a very
serious endeavor to save Booker Wash
ington for further usefulness.
He was given the best room in the
private patients pavilion at st. Luke g
Hospital and this is considered one of
the finest pavilions for private patients
in the world. I gave my services with
out recompense as did DR.. Cole, the
head of the Rockefeller Institute Hos
pital and the other physicians who
were consulted.
have no race prejudice of the kind
your article inferred and write to you
this letter with the feeling that it is
unfair to the Negro race to have that
60 out. The reporters made
me say many things that 1 had not
thought of, but 1 did not know that
they had charged me with enmity until
I saw your article.
Very truly yours,
w. A. BASTEDO.

a Child Should Do

OF the combined efforts and good will Of
those who dwell together within the

none should be deprived of the benefit
which comes from carrying responsibility

Hence. every child should be given duties
to perform in that home as we'll as priv
should be paid for performing his share
of the home duties. Each child should
care for his own room and should do this
properly at the right time. Certain other
household or farm tasks should be al
lotted to him-not tasks that will delay
him in starting to school, not those that
will exhause him at night, or those too
heavy for his immature body, but such
work as is reasonable in kind and guam

earliest years. More boys and girls are
in danger of having too little to do in the
modern home than too much.

Blind Soldiers of France

From the Cartoons Magazine.
There are actually some 5000 blind In
France as a result of the war, most Of
them blinded by gases or the sheets of
flame vomited by the German "flammen-
werfer," of which extensive use was
made at Verdun. I have been told that
an entire French company, their clothes
aflame, ran to attack the incendiaries,
and graspng them in a fiery embrace,
burned to death with their foes. 1t Is
around the blind soldiers that the pref
test and most tender nurses crowd.
In little eighteenth century house in
Passy, still standing in it's shady garden
among the new buildings of the modern
suburb, LIE Bourgeois, the recognized
master of animal sculpture has installed
shop for wounded soldiers.
Here in boxes that fill an entire room
are hundreds of toy elephants, simplified
and reduced copies of that great sculp-
tured one by LIE Bourgeois which stands
in the great salon of the Exposition des
Jouets des Mutiles."
