BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
[san francisco star.]
America has lost one of its really
great men. The death of Booker
Taliaferro Washington is quite as
much a loss to the white race as to
the Negro. He began life as a
slave, a chattel, private property of
another Freed, he heard the call
of his people and of humanity. He
dreamed dreams of service, and by
sheer force of will and character he
became the servant of his dreams
in order that he might help his
people aud the world.
At every step in his life he was
confronted by obstacles, but to him
obstacles were merely things to be
overcome, incentives to greater
energy aud more service. As a
teacher and public speaker, he had
few equals in this country. It is
said that the school he founded at
Tuskegee, Ala., is his mouument,
but his whole life is a monument,
for it was a life of supreme service
to mankind.
MIST NOT KISS THE LIBERTY BELL
[SACRAMENTO BEE.J
Iu Arlington, Texas, when one
of the policemen guarding the
liberty bel! held up a little picka-
ninny that he might kiss the famous
relic, the crowd hooted and yelled
its disapproval. That senseless
display of race hatred is the worst
insult the liberty bell has suffered
in its transcontinental trip. For it
is nonsense to bare the head in
mock reverence while the ideals the
bell represents are thrown aside
to hurt crueliv the feelings of a
little child. Liberty bell! A little
pickauinny, his heart glowing with
pride, to be hooted by grown men
and women ! So he probably went
to bed with an aching heart at the
close of what otherwise would have
been to him a wonderful day. Ar-
lington should be ashamed of her-
SINGERS FROM TUSKEGEE
fberkeley courier ]
The group of Tuskegee institute
singers who spent practically the
entire winter season in Southern
California and adjacent territory in
the season of 1914-15, will return
to California during the months of
December Jauuary, February, aud
March.
The meetings to be arranged will
be in the interest of the work of the
school, which is largely dependeut
for its existence upon public and
private coi-tributions. The singers
are graduates and students of the
school. They sing old-fashioned
plantation melodies and Negro folk
•ongs. They will be accompanied
again this year to the State by
Charles Winter Wood, who will
tell the story of the school and give
dialect readings.
The tour last season was in many
respects very successful, and now
tbat the full meaning of the work
of Tuskegee is better understood
throughout this section, it is hoped
that the tour may result in making
many new friends for the cause of
Negro education.
A STATESMAN
[stockton record.j
Booker T. Washington is dead.
He was not a politician. He was a
statesman He was not an agitator.
He was a leader. He was not a
class leader. He was a patriot.
He was not an obtrusive black mau.
He was a gentleman.
After thirty years of wandering
under false, selfish, and iguorant
leaders, white and black, the col-
ored people of America found iu
Washington a leader who poirited
them to a second emancipation aud
true independence.
The dignity of labor and the
preparedness of financial independ-
ence were Booker T. Washington's
preachments. Education, thrift,
and avoidance of any couflict with
the white race received his coustaut
urging.
And in his personal conduct and
characte-r, this man, born a slave,
won for himself the imperishable
admiration of the whole American
people. No better illustration of
his recognized character can be
made than by reference to the inci-
dent three years ago, when he was
accused of improper conduct iu
New York city. The President of
the United States, university presi-
dents, men of fiuance, men at the
very head aud front of American
life, wired expressions of confidence
in aud respect for the Negro leader.
Booker T. Washington is dead,
but the work he begau for his race
and for the nation will not cease.

BASEBALL.
[SAN DIEGO SUN, NOV. 26.
Wickware, 4: Pautages, o.
In 23 innings Wickware of
Chicago American Giants has per
mitted four base hits, and three o
these were scratches.
Hence it is easy to figure why
the Pautages crowd met defeat
yesterday at Athletic park. Wick
ware pitched eight frames without
yielding anything resembling a hit
Then Bayless got a peeve, and iu
the last of the ninth, with two out,
spoiled Wick's chances for a no-hit
aud no-run ? ffair by poking out a
measly Texas leaguer which should
have been caught iu a well.
Bachmann, Hill, aud Lloyd were
the gents Wick must blame for his
tailure to bag a no-hit, no-run game
to be chalked up in the hall of
fame. Bayless' high pop should
have beeu haudled b^ auy oue of
the three, but the old story of too
tnauy cooks held true and the broth
was spilled.
The invincible Schneider did not
prove as much of a puzzle to the
Giants as was expected. He was
in hot water on several occasions
when speedy fielding pulled him
out of a hole.
Iu the third the Giants netted
three runs, when Petway dragged
a single toward first base, anc beat
it out. Barber walked. Duncan
knocked a board off the right field
wall with a triple, couuting Jet and
Jess Lloyd's sizzliug liuer over
second put Duncan across.
The only other run of the game
came in the fourth, when Gans
tripled to centre, and scored, when
the throw-tu took a bad hop, and
eluded Roche. The Giants made
a fast double play, aud the locals
three of these.
The game was fast aud snappy,
requiring but an hour aud a half to
play. It was extremely interesting
with many feature plays. Score —
