...days the southerners entrusted the protection of their wives, mothers, sweethearts and daughters to negroes. Today the newspapers are filled with accounts of their atrocious crimes. This is the direct result of taking them from the plow and setting them at the spelling book. Mr. Booker Washington's level-headed work in coaxing them back to manual labor is praiseworthy in the extreme. Granting the negro his freedom instantaneously was a mistake, but above all the mistake of granting them the right to vote is to blame for the present lamentable condition of the black race...
...ways and hoisting machines, all electrically operated, are used as a means of removing the material, which is employed in reclaiming land along the Charles River.

This, in view of the Pudding's traditions, is unfortunate; but it is fair to say that the Pudding theatricals have as a rule contained quite as much comedy as the average modern comic opera. This year's performance would fall distinctly below even this level of humor were it not for G. P. Gardner's remarkable take-off of a noted dancer's "dance of the five senses." This travesty is so funny and so well done that it lends to the whole performance an appearance of being good comedy. Except for this dance...
