 "One of the difficulties in the south Is that it is not the negroes only that need education and I mean that literally
 Turning his attention to Italian immi grafton to the south MT. Taft remarked that he believed in competition in all things.
 MT Taft felt 1t hard that New York and Boston audiences were appealed to for help at all times. He wanted to see the appeal made to the west as well.
 Working Out Salvation.
 He eulogized the patriotic citizenship of the negro and his love for the stars and stripes. It was his belief that the negro was going to work out his own salvation.
 The speaker recalled negro meetings ho had addressed, one in particular, where the noted preacher, Dr. Walker, had said, "This Is the only place we want to live in until we go to glory and we are go- Ing 10 i've nere until we do go 10 glory.
 Mir. Taft spoke of the agonies of spirit which he said he knew the negro had to suffer in the face of the race feeling. The future to them in overcoming the obstacles was well worth the effort. Con- fidence in the justice and good sense of the American people was confidently ex- pressed.
 An appeal was made by MT. Taft for funds, with the explanation that there was nothing so easy as for a man with out money to tell those with money how to use it.

Luke E. Wright Speaks Before the
 Tennessee Society.

New York, February 2S.-Secretary of War Luke E. Wright, speaking tonight at the annual dinner of the Tennessee society of New York, held at the Hotel Astor, said:
 we Tennesseans have state pride. It is out of this state pride that national pride grows and that is larger and bet ter thing Americans meeting on foreign soil forget they are Tennesseans or New Workers and remember only that they are Americans. I am glad to say that Tennesseans and southerners generally are more and more imbued with national instead of sectional ideas.
 ''The whole nation as well as the south has suffered from sectionalism. If this nation is to work out its own destiny on broad lines it can only be accom- plished by the cooperation of all the people of all sections. There are no more sectional problems. We are building the Panama canal not because we are doing what others have failed to do. but be- cause we are entering with others in a struggle for commercial supremacy. Our flag Is in the Philippines for commer- cial reason that we may have base from which to compete for the trade of the Orient, but we are trying to give those islands what they never had before decent government and equal opportuni- ty besides"
