T. Washington, Of Tuskegee, Ala, the
negro educator. Mr. Taft took occasion
70 make known 70 DR.. Washington some
ideas he had formed in regard TO South
ern political and Industrial problems in
volving the negro.
In the course Of the conversation the
President indicated that IN his opinion
the training OF negroes IN Industrial pur-
suits was having the effect Of obtaining
for such negroes a greater degree OF re-
spect from the best element OF the white
population. Dr. Washington expressed
the view that President Taft was entire
ly correct in the ideas which he had
formed on the subject
The President spoke also OF his desire
% do all that II was possible for him to
do during his administration 70 eradicate
sectional feeling and erase the prejudicss
between the South and the North.
Seeks Better Feeling.

came known that the President has de-
termined 10 give a thorough trial 20 his
policy Of bringing about a better feeling
in the South toward the Republican ad-
minisJratiOn IN Washington and toward
the Northern and Western States. which
form the backbone OF Republican
strength.
II is not the intention OF the President

guided by similar considerations in max

his teachings have been forgotten and
the bad alone remembered. He permitted
