The Negro Educator's Downfall.
The Washington Post says:
"The announcement, a day or two
ago, that Booker Washington, Jr., son
of the colored educator, had fied an
application as paymaster in the army
must inevitably have an injurious ef
fect upon the Tuskegee Institute and
its head. Prof. Washington is con
ducting a college in Alabama,
and is indebted to that state
not only for the domicile thereof and
for annual appropriations from the
public treasury for its support, but
for the popular good will and approv
al which make the successful pros
ecution of his work possible. If he
forfeits this moral support his ac
tivities will come to an end so far
as concerns Alabama, or. for that
matter, the whcie south. Hence we
venture the opinion above expressed."
The Post goes on to say that its in
formation from the war department
is that "Booker Washington, Sr., has
approved and formally endorsed his
son's application," and that "it is fair
to assume that he is personally urg
ing it with the president, who is his
friend and admirer." The paper
quoted therefore comes to the con
clusion that Booker Washington
"teaches one lesson with his lips and
another with his acts," and asks,
"How can he, or any one else, ex
pect that the country will longer
put faith in his sincerity or look on
him for further usefulness?" Con
tinuing, The Post says:
"As it happens, the army law enact
ed by the last congress prohibits the
appointment of civilians to the staff
corps. The ambitions of the Booker
Washingtons, therefore, are not like
ly to find realization save through
some illegal exercise of power-a
consummation not at all probable.
But if it be true. as the semi-official
announcement indicates, that young
Booker Washington has, with the
senior Booker Vashington's approv
al, applied for a paymaster's place in
the army, it will be very difficul to
make any one believe henceforth that
the Tuskegee Institute is conducted
and inspired as its-head so noisily pre
tends."
The Post is right in the above, as
it is on most questions of this kind,
but it is perhaps a little behind the
time as regards the likelihood of
Washington's loss of influence in the
south at large. The fact is, he is
largely disredited now by many
southern people wvho formerly looked
upon him as the hope of his race.
Being a negro, it was perhaps only
natural that he should fall a victim
to the characteristic vanity of his peo
pie when he was feted by the presi
dent and dined by white people at
the north. His actions in this re
spect, while disappointing to the
white people of the south-those who
wish the negro wvell at all times-wvas
not surprising. It will always be so;
that is the way the. negro was cre
ated, no matter if the one in question
does impress a man of Senator De
pew's ability as one of the greatest
men in the world. The effort to have
his son made a paa mat.ex in the army
is on a par with Washington's action
in sending his daughter to a white
school and in himself accepting invi
tations to dine with white people.
Booker Washington can never regain
the confidence southern people once
reposed in him, and his influence with
his own race is doubtless lost for the
same reason.-Charlotte Observer.
Booker Washington is not by large
odds as big a man as he was before
he dined wvith President Roosevelt.
Before he undertook to impress the
idea of social equality, the people of
the south had great respect for 'Wash
ington and were interested in his
work. which they believed to be for
the elevation of his race in those
things which will in reality help to
elevate the race. The white people
of the south, who have been and are
the best friends the negro has ever
had, are willing to do anything that
is within reason to help elevate the
race, but when it comes to any inti
mation of social equality or anything
of that kind there is a natural revul
sion and all efforts of that kind only
retard the advancement of the race
in those things which will really help
to uplift the negro. The negro today,
as he has always had, has no better
.riend than the southern white man,
and the southern -hite man will do
more to help him than any new
friends he can acquire. But the min
ute he aspires to social equality or to
politia psition that moment he is
going to find antagonism from his
best friends.
If Booker Washington wants to
help his race to better their condition I
he had better pursue the policy he I
iLrst started out on, to help his race to t
uplift themselves in material devel
opment and to fnt themselves for t
good citizenship.
The Newspaper Man.
He seldom is handsome or natty.
And has none of the charms of the
dude,
Is oft more abstracted than chatty,
And sometimes unbearably rude.
He courts us, then slights us and
grieves us,
As much as he possibly can;
He kisses us, loves us and leaves us,
This perfidious newspaper man.
Our mothers won't have him come
calling,
He's no earthly good as a "catch:"
His morals (they say) are appalling,
His finances usually match.
He's rollicking, reckless, uncaring,
Lives but for the hour, the day,
He's dangerous, dubious, *daring.
Not fit for a husband they say.
But somehow we girls are forgiving,
Perhaps he but needs us the more
Because he goes wrong in the living
And knows the old world to its
core.
So we pass up the dude and the
schemer,
Who leads in society's van,
And cherish the thinker and dreamer ]
Enshrined in the newspaper man.

The indications are that the min

Creek counties., Col., will receive I
fiite an impetus the coming winter
and spring. Some new discoveries
of importance have been made in
that section of the Centenial State. i
and considerable capital has been ad- i
vanced to aid in the work of devel- z
opment. This is one of the older
mining sections of the state and re
ma.ns in much favor among mining
