BOOKER T.'S DEPARTURE.
The fact that the Ex-Postmaster
General Wanamaker extended an in
vitation to Booker T. Washington to
act as escort for his daughter, Mrs.
Warburton to dinner at the United
States hotel at Saratoga, while a nov
elty, was no doubt a pleasant incident.
But Mr. Washington would have
evinced better diplomacy by respect
fully declining the invitation, since it
is known that Negro leaders for years
have advocated that social equality is
not desired by the Negro race. What
we do want is an opportunity to secure
employment on a wage scale that will
enuble us to live In decency and com

Some time ago "The Son" seemed to
champion the right against the wrong
among our teachers of the city. Ev
erybody who believes In right seems
to Join sides with us, but one alarming
thing happened when it came to the
ministers of the gospel to shoulder the
burden and champion the cause of
right, not one was heard from. If
there is a place where right living,
decency and respectability should be
preached and upheld it ought to be in
the church and by bold, fearless men
who have been consecrated and chos
en to work for the Master and lead hu
manity up to a higher plane, where
they may catch glimpses of a pure life.
Your actions in the past have shown

all of the people some of the time, but
you cannot fool all the people all of
the time)."

SENTIMENT HAS ITS VALUE.
Point Writer Says Young Couples
Sometimes Forget.
Life without sentiment is ns Insipid
as a i-avory without salt. Yet when
people marry they usually "settle
down," which means thev endeavor to
look nt everything from the common
cense ry'.v.i of view, ami forswear all
mo uengnnui nonsense wnieii they in
dulged In when they were sweet
hearts. Is It that rent, taxes, butcher, baker
and candlestick maker usurp the place
given to romance? Or Is It that peo
ple always grow st aider as they grow
older?
It is possible that the wife cares
less for love than the sweetheart used
to do? Not In her heart of hearts,
I believe. But, once surrounded by
It, she grows unconscious of It and
imagines it no longer of supreme im
portance, even making the hideous
mistake of fancying it can be done
without. Familiarity breeds con
tempt, and so she lightly prizes love
to her own undoing, says the New
York Telegram.
' Stick fast to the high ideals of
courting days; don't let yourself b
persuaded they are foolish or old fash
ioned; don't, when love becomes a
dally certainty, fancy sentiment can
bo dispensed with, or you will wako
up with a start ono of these fine days
and find to your cost that the future
which promised to bo so fair is
stretching blank ami desolate before
you, and that your husband, or your
wife, as the case may bo. bears no re
semblance to the sweetheart of years
gono by.
