NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Booker T. Wash-
ington addressed the A fro-American
Council here tonight on phases of the
race question. He said in part:
In the season of disturbance and ex-
citement if others yield to the tempta-
tion of losing control of their judgment
and give way to passion and prejudice
let us, as a race, teach the world that
we have learned the great lesson of calm-
ness and self control; that we are deter-
mined to be governed by reason rather
than by feeling. Our victories in tho
past have come to us through our ability
to be calm and patient, often while en-
during great wrong.
Again, I am most anxious, and I know
that in this respect it is the sentiment
of every conservative member of our
race, that our race everywhere bear the
reputation of law-abiding and law-re-
specting people. If others would break
the law and trample it under foot, let
us keep and respect it and teach. our
children to follow our example.
In this connection I repeat what I have
urged on a reeent occasion, every iota,
of influence that we possess should be
used to get rid of the eriminnl and
loafing element of our people and then
make decent law-abiding citizens.
To the members of my race who reside
in the Northern States let me utter the
caution that in your enthusiastic desire
to be of service to your brethren in the
South you do not make their path more
thorny and difficult by rash and intem-
perate utterances. Before giving advice
to the negro in the South the negro in
the North should be very sure that what
he advises is that which he himself
would be willing; to take into the heart
ol' the South and put into practice. Be
careful not to assist in lighting a fire
which you will have no ability to put
out.
Some may think that the problems with
which we are grappling will be better
solved by inducing millions of our peo-
ple to leave the South for residence in
the North, but I warn you that instead
of this being a solution, it will but add
to the complications of the problem.
Should Remember
Their White Friends.
While condemning the giving of prom-
inence to the work of the mob in the
South, we should not fail to give due
credit to those of the white race who
stood manfully and courageously on the
side of law and order during the recent
trying times through which this sec-
tion of our country has been passing.
During the racial disturbances the coun-
try very seldom hears of the brave and
heroic aets of a. certain element of
Southern white people, whose deeds are
seldom heralded throughout the press.
The indiscriminate condemnation of all
white people on the part of any mem-
ber of our race is a suicidal and danger-
ous policy. We must learn to -discrim-
inate. We have strong friends both in
the South and in the North we should
emphasize and magnify the efforts of
our friends more than that of those who
wish us evil
T have said we must differentiate be-
tween white people in the South. We
cannot afford to class all as our enemies,
for there are many who are our friends.
The country must learn to differentiate
between black people Tt is a mistake
to place all in the same class when re-
ferring to labor, morality or general con-
duct. There is a vicious class that dis-
graces us; thero is also a worthy class
which should always receive commenda-
tion. Further, we must frankly face
the fact that the great body of our peo-
ple are to dwell in the South and any
policy that does not s<*ek to harmonize
thy two races and cement them is un-
wise and dangerous. ...
Creation, const ruction in the material,
civic, educational, moral and religious
world is what makes races great. Any
child can cry and fret, but it requires a
full-grown man to create—to construct.
Let me implore you to teach the mem-
bers of our race everywhere that they
must become, in an increasing degree^
creators of their own careers.

WRECK ON S. A. & T. CENTRAL.
Great Loss of Life Narrowly
Averted.
While speeding at the rate of sixty
miles per hour the Owl midnight train
out of this city on the San Antonio &
Texas Central Railway left the trucks
about twelve miles north of here. Just
beyond the fence which bounds the rail-
road property was a deep KUlly. Had the
train reached this nreolpltlous incline a
hundred lives would have been lost, but
the remarkable strength of the wire
fencing retarded the progress of the train
and except for a few bruises, the pas-
sengers escaped injury. Needless to say
tbe fence was Elwood. For sale by Ed

CONGRESSMEN M4Y
CONTINUE TO RIDE
Assistant General Counsel A. H. Mc-
Knight of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
comes to the front in a recent opinion
with the unexpected statement that
there is possibility that the lnterestate
Commerce law defeats its own end by
the peculiar phraseology of its anti-
pass provisions.
Mr. McKnight maintains that there
is a serious question whether the rlgl;t
to give and use free transportation, and
intimates that Congress, in the effort
to prohibit the use of free passes, has
practically denied them to its consti-
tuents while unwittingly reserving the
use of such courtesies to its members
themselves.
Mr. McKnight's views on the issue
are recognized as original, and are ex-
pected to develop more or less agitation
of the subject.
In advancing his opinion on the anti-
pass paragraph Mr. McKnight is quoted
as saying in part:
"Suppose that two men start from
Chicago on the same day and train, one
bound for the City of Mexico and the
other for Laredo, Tex. The latter, us-
ing free transportation, would be violat-
ing the law; the former would not,
though the pass were issued by the
same officials of the same road. This
discrimination is not accounted for by
any lack of authority on the part of
Congress to prevent it.
May Use Passes
From Territories.
"The prohibition runs against 'inter-
state' transportation, saying nothing
about 'foreign' transportation, yet man-
ifestly there is a wide distinction be-
tween the two.
"The language of the anti-pass clauses
seems to leave some doubt as to whether
or not it prohibits the use of free trans-
portation between the District of Colum-
bia and the Territories and other points
in the States or Territories. I am not
saying that under a proper construction
of the act this would not be prohibited,
but 1 do maintain that no grave violence
would be done, wen-recognized principles
of construction, if this clause should be
construed, not to prohibit such use of
free transportation.
"If this meaning be given, all members
of Congress, using Washington as a
base, can ride on free transportation at
will, while their constituents, unless
Washington or some other equally fa-
vored place be the beginning or end of
their pilgrimage, must pay as they go.
"In what 1 have said I have taken it
for granted that 'interstate free trans-
portation,' as used in the act, is one and
the same as 'free transportation for use
in interstate travel.' I think It doubt-
ful, however, that they mean the same
thing."
