Advice Given by Booker X
Washington; Save Money, ;
He Advises. .'
- In his address at Gypsy Smith audi,
torium last night, Booker T. Washing
ton, president . of Tuskegee Institute,
urged- the people of his race to Invest
some of their money in farm land In
the northwest, that, they might have it
to sell to the Europeans who he said
would come, willing to buy, after the
Panama canal Is opened. ',
Dr. Washington was Introduced by
Colonel E. Hofer of . Balem. Approxi
mately 6000 people heard the address,
which was in the nature of an appeal
to the negroes in Portland. Dr. Wash
ington advised the people of his race to
save some of their money for a "rainy
day," which he said is sure to come.
Tou negroes of Portland are only
few In number,"' Dr. Washington said,
"but remember that you represent the
millions' of your follows in the. south.
They will be . Judged largely by your
actions. If you lead good, conscientious,
honest, upright lives, obey the laws of
God and man and become good oltisens,
your , lives will reflect to good advan
tage on the lives of the vastly greater
number of negroes In the south. If,
on the other hand, you are not gooo,
law-abiding. God-fearing citizens, the
general effect will be just the opposite
and you will put all the negroes lnthc
country in a oaa iigni.
- Dr. Washington spoks very interest
ingly for an hour this morning at Reed
college, his address being given in place
of the regular morning chapel . service.
Tonight at I o'clock the noted edu
cator will talk particularly to the publlo
school teachers of the city at the new
lilnooln high school. .

some on hand. I recommend it to
all my friends, and know that it
is an article of high merit and
should be in every household."
