pass as the last words of wisdom.
Programs are always subject to the
exigencies of shifting conditions; prin-
ciples will abide.
Booker T. Washington's pacificatory
doctrine of racial peace and good will,
his sound. sober appraisement of the
Importance of practical education. his
urgent insistence upon economic de-
veIopment instead of too confident re-
lance on political action, his common
sense gospel of industry. thrift. and
economy. his philosophy of accomplish
ing the possible rather than attempt
ing the unattainable. must be at the
basis of any future scheme of race
reclamation and relationship.
His place in history is secure. His
contribution is permanent. His influ-
ence will abide. Booker Washington
will be remembered by posterity, not
only as great Negro. but as great
American and as a great man.

pists and friends of the Negro had es-
uoused the same view. Institutions for
the so-calIed higher education of the
Negro, fostered by philanthropy, flour
ished like the bay tree.
The time was ripe for any Negro
leader who would abandon the ola
method and advocate a new policy
more in consonance with changing
public sentiment. Booker T. Washing
ton stepped into the breach. He un-
derstood the point of view of the south
ern white man. as well as that of the
Northern white man and the Negro
himself, and endeavored to hold just
balance among conflicting states of
feeling and belief. AS ambassador for
the Negro he was accepted at the court
of the white race, and spoke before the
bar of public opinion for his people
boldly, as an ambassador ought to
speak. He did not demand more than
he had the power to enforce or the
ability to persuade. He who demands
only what he can command is wise: he
who demands less is cowardly; he VINO
demands more is a braggart
Booker T. Washington had a deep
and abiding faith in the ultimate possl-
bilities of the Negro, although he iul-
ly appreciated his present defects and
imperfections. In his belief the white
race had already contributed about all
it was calculated to do through direct
and intimate ministration. Race rec
lamation must come through self di-
rected activities. Up to this time
white men had worked for the Negro.
DR.. Washington taught that the Negro
must henceforth work for himself.
Tuskegee was built on the basis
of this idea. Negroes conduct all
of the activities of this institution IN
it's various features and ramificatlohs'
1t was declared that the Negro coulu
not safely be put in charge of large
interests, such as the construction OF
large buildings and the management
and manipulation of large plants. lie
did not argue the point, but produced
concrete results This institution, which
sprang up as if by magic, under Negro
enterprise and skill. still remains the
largest and most complicated project
under race direction and intimate man
agement Not only so, but Tuskegee
became the center of race energy ana
enterprise ramifying in all directions
throughout the country. White phi-
were easily persuaded OF
the wisdom of this policy and were
willing to furnish the means to give
the experiment full and fair trial.
There is perhaps no other philanthropic
enterprise that promises so much tor
the ultimate development and reclama-
ton of the race. The only help that
is worth while is the help which helps
the helpless to help themselves.
There always existed a small group
of assertive Negroes which DR.. Wash

White Firm Also Offers $4,000
Down and Five Cents on
Each Trap Sold.

New York City, Jan. 12.-Imagina-
tion plus rusty bailing wire was the
combination Allen Dixon has used to
put himself on the highway to fortune.
Mr.. Dixon, who is 81 years old, is
employed as an elevator man in a
white department store in Nashville.
If the plans go through, in five years
he will have enough money to buy out
the department store and run it him
self
To most persons bailing wire is sim
ply wire, but to Dixon, looking at all
the rusty wire going to waste from
bales of hay shipped into Nashville,
rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled
some wire off bale, experimental
with it and-got a patent.
Hard & Hart, No. 100 Fifth avenue,
are negotiating for permission to sell
the patent right. Mr. Hardy admits the
Negro will probably make lot of
money. He is said TO have received
already an offer of $4,000 in cash, or
81. 900 down and cents royalty on ev-
cry trap sold
Dixon said he patented his trap last
July. Just to show how much rats
liked it. he said he entered two on n
competition at the Commercial Club
in Nashville, and in one night caught
twenty-six rats in the big one and fif-
teen in the small one. Only one other
trap entered caught any rats, and that
got only one.
Dixon said he had other inventions
that ought to pay him better than this
one He did not know whether he
would keep his job after he got his
money, but he would have to do some
thing for he had worked too long to be
able TO quit.

MAJOR cHAs. YOUNG DEAD,

NEWS has just reached us of the
death of Major Charles Young, better
known rs Captain Young, he having
held the position for many years, and
who died last week in Monrovia, Ii
IBERIA, where he was organizing con
stabulary force for the government.
This sad news will be very affecting to
his many friends whom he made wher-
ever he was located.
Major Young's promotion was due to
his continuous efforts TO succeed, and
unswerving devotion to duty, and in
spite of many oppositions, to be re
warded for meritorious services, he
convinced the military authorities that
he was entitled to receive the honors
bestowed on him. Further particulars
relative to his illness and death will
appear in our columns as soon as we
receive them. THE COLORADO
STATESMAN extends sincere sympa-
thy to his bereaved relatives.

Chicago. Ill-"If the colored people
of the world would unite their money
like the Jews, we would get some

here.
In celebration of one of the most
successful drives for relief for war
sufferers ever conducted, $50 Chicago
Jews assembled at the Congress hotel
and heard the original quota in their
drive had been exceeded my almost
S5OO,OOO The total amount contrib
uted was $1,S1OOO0.
A second record was established, ia
cob NJ. Loeb, general chairman of the
Chicago committee, announced, in that
5000 more persons contributed to the
fund this year than on previous drives.
The largest contribution to the drive
was that of Julius Rosenwald, who
pledged to give 81 for every 81 given
by others. His share will exceed $780,
600, it is said.
Mr.. Rosenwald is Il very large con-
tributor to Negro philanthropies.

ington never was able to bring to his
point of view. This group was COM
posed mainly of college-bred men of
liberal culture who We're unwilling to
compromise their intellectual integrity
by surrendering the abstract claim OF
political rights. They could not toler-
ate the suggestion of inferiority which
his program implied. Even his control
of political patronage was not able to
convert the most stubborn of these.
The man with the theory always has
the advantage of the man with the
thing in abstract disquisition, Since
Mr.. Washington's death this group has
gained the ascendancy in dominating
the thought and opinion of the race
but has not been able to realize to the
least degree the rights and recoSni-
ton so yehemently demanded.
The last five years have wrought
great changes in the spirit of ag-
rrieyed groups in all parts of the
world A new sense of self-assertion
has been aroused in the Negro. The
white race has become more deter
mined and intolerant. The Ku KluX
Klan is concrete expression of this
intolerance. The two races are facing
each other with suspicion and dis
trust. There is no Booker Washing
ton to lay propitiating hands on them
both. Had Booker Washington sur
vived to this time his wisdom to deal
with the shifting eNigenctes OF the
problem is conjectual. Who can tel
what effect the perpleNinE issues of
reconstruction might have had upon
the reputation and fame of Abraham
Lincoln had he survived to that time
We only know, in case of the one as
of the other, that his pacificatory
spirit and his enlightened common
sense would have been SOLDERING ana
steadying influence in any emergency.
The titanic struggle has greatly
modified many of the conditions with
which he had to deal. He urged the
Negro to remain in the country; the
war thrust him into the city. The war
created unforeseen industrial demands.
Five hundred thousand Negroes rushed
to the North to fill the vacuum in the
labor market. The advocate OF polltl-
cal inaction is apt to be hooted by the
multitude whose passion mas peeh
heated by strife. There Is httle patl-
ence with the counsellor of patience
when the beat of the war drum dins
in the ear. The radical rides on the
rising tide of war That the Negro
could earn a dollar in the South. but
could not spend it; and spend a dollar
in the North. but could not earn it,
ranks among Mr.. Washington's most
apt and pithy sayings. But the truth
and appositeness of his sententious
assertion were suddenly reversed with
changing industrial conditions. The
new situation of the Negro illustrates

voted to give the power of attorney to
General Organizer P. D. Campbell, C.

these men are compelled to put in for

to the fact that these men have not

federal tribunal of a code of laws for
regulation of the coal industry was
proposed in a bill introduced by Sena-
tor Kenyon, Iowa, chairman of the
senate labor committee which investi-
gated the recent West Virginia coal
field disorder.
The bill follows the line Of Mr..
Kenyons recent report on the West
Virginia situation and probably will be
the last before he retires to go on
the federal bench. 1t would create
national coal mining board" and
provide statutory rights for both labor
and capital and the coal industry.
DEGREES Of the board would be en-.
forced by public opinion and their
violation not made punishable.
The board would be composed of
nine members. three each represent.
ing the employees. employers and the
public. All would be appointed by
the president. subject to senate con-
firmation. The labor group would be
be selected from six names presented
by the United Mine Workers Of
America. Employer nominations would
be made by the national coal asso-
citation and the anthracite operators
association.
