Abraham Lincoln and
Booker T. Washington
Popular in England
Br Lowell MeUett
London, Mar. 1. (By mail.) Eng
land has been discovering two great
Americans, one the product, in a way,
of the other: Abraham Lincoln aud
Booker T. Washington.
Americans iu Loudon had no chance
to forget the fact of Lincoln's birthday
a few days ago. JJot only every news
paper in London and every provincial
newspaper of consequence print Premier
Lloyd George's eulogy of the enmucipa
tor with his analogy between the fight
that Lincoln fought and that England
is now fighting, but many of them car
ried lengthy editorial comment on Lin
coln's life with more of the same anul
ogy. More than one recalled with regret
the sorry attitude shown by Great Bri
tain during tho period of America's
great trial and amplified on the pre
mier 's reminder that even Gladstone
had failed to appreciate what it meant
to America.
As for Booker T. Washington, the oc
casion for bringing the illustrious negro
to the front is the everybody-keep-a-pig
campaign. It seems that Washing
ton shortly before his death carried on
just such a campaign himself, "causing
the formation of Pig clubs throughout
the south.
He promulgated the doctrine that if
every negro family would keep one pig,
uougiit at .fa a neau. in a tew mouths.
with hogs at their then price, 14.000.
000 would be added to wealth of the
colored race ''with which to promote its
weirare during the money strimrencv
created by the European war "
Uive each boy and girl an opportun
ity to own and grow at least one pig,"
ho concluded
"Admirable advice. Why imt iu Eng
land!" says one editorial commenta
tor. . j
Incidentally the keep-a-pig campaign !
is attaining great headway in this conn-1
try. If the supply of corn can be main-1
lained rural England may even supplant j
Dixie as the abode of "that renow ned
institution Hog and Hominy.
