(Chicago Daily News.) Booker T. Washington was, first of all, human. His loyalty to his own people was attested by his life’s full measure of devotion to their progress and protection. But in serving them he served the whole human race still more. Above and beyond all else he was and did, he was a man. And by example and precept, by his unfailing eloquence and untiring work he in spired, encouraged and taught his people to rise above all racial disa bilities or pride in being men and women and in making and taking their places in the world’s work. Not only in Tuskegee and among all of his own race is his memory enshrined, but also in the hearts of all his fel low countrymen, whose lives he has lifted, whose manhood and woman hood he has strengthened and whose humanity he has broadened and deepened to the measure of the sta ture of the Son of Man. “OF DISTINGUISHED COMMON SENSE.” (Columbia, S. C., State.) Columbia, S. C., Nov. 14.—“Booker T. Washington was what is rare among Negro leaders, a man of dis tinguished common sense. He saw the futility of an ignorant and pau perized race attempting political com petition with one having thousands of years the start of it^. His self chosen task was to teach his people the necessity of an economic founda tion for progress, to point out that southern conditions were singularly favorable for it, and to lead the Ne groes away from the false vision held out to them by carpetbaggers during the reconstruction period that para dise instantly was to be realized by the ballot. Washington had the sa gacity to accept conditions as they were for his race and to see that, on the whole, they are not bad.” William Lloyd Garrison, Jr. “In the death of Booker T. Wash ington the country loses one of its most profound educators, as well as one of its most powerful evangelists of human service. His viewpoint was ever rational, but radiant; his meth ods practical, but inspired; his achievement extraordinary, whether measured by the notable educational institutions which he founded and de veloped, or by the indelible impres sion made by an ex-slave upon the contemporary mind and imagination of America. “The South will miss his sane and persistent constructive force. The North and the South will both be the poorer in the passing of a conciliator who was also an optimist.” Ex-President Roosevelt. “He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than had ever been ren dered by any one else, and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the must useful citizens of our land has gone." j Western Indemnity Co.

Washington was the most remark able man of his race and one of the monumental figures in the progress of the civilization of the world. His services to the Negro were the great est one could give his fellow citizens. He was a valuable asset to the na tion. The South numbered him among her most useful citizens. It will be difficult to find one who can carry on that great work he had under taken.” WHITE MAN SENTENCED FOR RAPE ON NEGRO GIRL Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17.—Two years and six months was the sen tence imposed on Daniel McDougal, white, Forty-second and Callowhill street, by Judge Davis.
