PHCSS OF THE MISSOURI STATESMAN French Sketch of Booker Washing ton. From Le Matin (Paris). Mr. Booker Washington hrs been two clays in Paris. As every one knows, he is the first "colored man" who has had the privilege of sitting at the table of a President of the United States, that of Mr. Roosevelt, and the row raised for a time in America by this important event may be remembered. It was in the apartment he oc cupies in one of our great Paris hotels that Mr. Booker Washington was kind enough to receive us yesterday. A face with a very light-colored skin, marked by a delicate mouth, with neither beard nor mustache, surmounted with short hair with very little kink, and lighted up by eyes of extra ordinary brilliancy, which close when thoughts are not to be revealed; a frank countenance, ex tremely intelligent and strong willed; an expression sometimes almost hard, sometimes very gentle ; a general appearance of solidness and energy joined to great kind ness ; medium stature, well set up; a rather small foot ; a soft, grasp ing hand, agreeable to the touch, the pressure of which varies ac cording to circumstances, but is always sprightly and significant such is the portrait of the "great negro" on whom we called. Bora on a Virginia plantation, the negro who later was to be with so much sensation the guest of Mr. Roosevelt, after emancipation be gan to earn a living for himself and his mother under great difficulties. "It is said that you do not know how old you are?" we asketl. "That is true. The statement A V ;- 'S . BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. CEO The Peerless American Educator. (By Courtesy of the Columbia Herald.) that I whs born in Virginia is cor rect, but I only know that I am 'about' 44 years old." "How far back can you remem ber facts?" "From the time that I Was about 8 years old." "IJow did you get your name Booker?" "That is an o)d Virginia name.', "And Washington?" "I assumed that." "Have you nol been called also Tagliaferro?" "That's what my mother used to call inc." Then we drew out the story of our amiable interlocutor's first re collection, that of being waked up from his sleep in the middle of the night to eat his share of a chicken which his mother had stolen for him. Mr. Booker Washington then repeated the tale of his going to Hampton, of his founding Tuskege, of the objects of that in stitution, and of his aims for the future of the negroes, with all of which the readers of Le Matin are now familiar. When questioned about the pro posed cxoih.s of the negroes from the United States to the Soudan or some other part of Africa, he de clined to answer. "I shall reply to no question you may ask touching on politics or on President Roosevelt. That is one of my hubits." At the World's Fair. The Professional World will be at the great St. Louis World's Fair next year. We have a complete file containing a copy of every issue of the paper since, its beginning, and arrangements have been made with the State Historical Society to have the same bound aud placed on exhibition at the exhibition.

The talk of a negro political party is not only absurd, but foolish The negro should not be a slave to any one political party, he should work to vote for his own as well as his country's interest. Vote the ticket which he knows will be of help to him and his race if it wins, but by no means should he en deavor to organize a party of his own. Human societies may sometimes make mistakes and in their efforts to "do good" for the so called un fortunates often leave them heart broken. The seperaling of chil dren from their- mother because it is decided that she is not capable of rearing them, may seem alright from a sociological point of view, but yet there is a visible heartless ness in such. For no matter how poor or unfortunate a woman may become, the love for her children remains the same. The pleadings of the unfortunate woman in the Columbia p61ice court recently, when her children were about to be taken from her is enough to con vince any human being, that other assistance might be rendered that would be far more helpful than forcibly taking the loved ones.
