The Late DR.. Booker T. Washington

The first part Of November, 1915,
much was said in, the daily newspa-
pers concerning the cause Of the i'll
ness of the late DR.. Booker T. Wash

time through the columns of many

racial characteristics were the main
cause responsible for Dr. Booker T.

ment brought forth an editorial COM

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 charac-
teristics are in part responsible for
DR.. Washington's breakdown" and
you follow this up with remarks about
race prejudice and -mindedness
on my part.
AS doubtless you now know, DR..
Washington died of Bright's disease,
and ! think it very unfortunate indeed
THAI any reporter should have at
tached my name to any such state
ment as you have quoted. In the first
place, Dr. Washington would not
have been sent to me had l had such
race prejudice, and in the second, We
all made very serious endeavor to
save Booker Washington for further
usefulness.
He was given the best room in the
private patients pavilion at ST. Luke's
Hospital, and this is considered one OF
the finest pavilions for private patients
in the world l gave my services
without recompense as did DR.. Cole,
the head of the Rockefeller Institute
Hospital, and the other physicians
who were consulted.

your article inferred and | write to
you this letter with the feeling that il
is unfair to the Negro race to have
that impression go out The reporters
made me say many things that | had
not thought of, but l did not know
that they had charged me with enmity

Major Buckners life was one we'll
worthy Of emulation and the respect

deserving tribute to a worthy man.
His life was one Of sacrifice for his
race He was proud of his people.
His ambition was TO see them take a
proud place in the life Of the nation
His every thought was for their ad-
vancement morally and materially
His numerous charities were known
to few. He was transformations in his
giving. Poor himself, yet always Civ
ing Of what he had to those who were
less prosperous than he. His house
was open to his people night and day.
His advice and counsel were at their
command. He was a man of brilliant
intellect. His moral conceptions were
to be admired. He was a friend whose
friendship knew no turning He was
modest and unassuming, vet strong
and forceful He had opinions and
the courage to express them. He was
a credit to his race and to his country.
The tribute paid to his memory on
the day of his public funeral should
be an inspiration to others to emulate
his life example. He was honest be-
yond words. His place will Be hard
to fill. Let us hope that he has gone
to just reward and that for all eter-
nifty he will reap the fruits of his un-
