ADDRESSES GRADUATES OF
Ilr HOWARD.
Says Great Body Of the Race Must
q Depend for Their Livelihood Upon
81. Manual Labor As Do Other Races.
TAFT.


5 Washington, D. c., May 27.-Presi'
dent Taft, speaking at the commence
ment exercises of Howard University
( yesterday afternoon, urged the import,
ance OF education of the Negro, with
certain reservations. saying he be-
Hlieved the future to be In the hands of
the race.
\ Sanitation and hygiene were urged
as necessary in the South for the
development OF the great mass Of Ne
groes. The President declared that
the providing Of institutions where Ne
groes could be taught and educated
would be q partial payment Of the
debt which the government and the
people of the United States owe to the
black men.
The words of the President were
cheered by the hundreds Of persons
who filled Rankin Chapel, and when
he consented to present each graduate
with diploma. the enthusiasm was
increased.
Mr.. Taft's Address.
The President said:
"Mr. President and young ladies and
gentlemen Of the graduating class: I
have q good many engagements, and
I am tempted into them sometimes
before the engagements are to be met
and the work is to be done-by such
q mellifluous and forceful gentleman as
your president. and then I am not re-
minded of the obligation thus assumed
until I pick up the morning paper
and find myself advanced as one of the
chief attractions at some meeting
where I don't feel myself at all as en-
titled to figure in that capacity.
when your president came to me
and asked me to come to Howard Uni
versity he said that he expected to
celebrate the laying of the corner
stone of new building here, given by
Mr.. Carnegie, and that incidentally.
there would be commencement exer-
cises. I am fairly good hand
at trowel. and I thought possibly l
might engage in the exercises of lay
ing the corner stone without being
involved in a speech. But I find it
to, be otherwise. Nevertheless, I am
glad to seize the opportunity of look
ing into your faces-you young men
and women who are about to go out
into the world and meet the obstacles
which are before you and to overcome
then" Successfully, as I sincerely hope
you may. I am glad to be able to be
here TO testify to you my profound
sympathy in your careers and my hope
that they all may be successful
This institution here is the partial
repayment of a debt-only partial
to'a race to which a government and
the people of the United States are
externally indebted. They brought that
race into this country against it's will.
They are planted here irretrievably
They first put it in bondage and then
they kept it in the ignorance that the
bondage seemed to make necessary I'M

they freed it and. put upon it the re-

communities Of the SOUTH mean
and touch of progress, and a touch
of ciViliZation-the white men of pro-
sress are beginning to appreciate the
advantages of having a class like the
colored men that they have there
They are anxious that they have an in
dustrial education.
Useful in Community.
'Thcy are anxious that they should
make their way and show their use
fulneSs in the community. The truth
is that the greatest hope that the Ne
gro has, because he lives chiefly in
the South, is the friendship and the
sympathy of the white men with whom
he lives in that neighborhood. I know
it is not the habit to think so, but it
is growing, and one of the things that
misleads US most is the desperate, the
extreme statements of white men from
the South on the subject, but really
they don't mean what they say. They
are the last people that want to be
taken literally. They have a theory
that 1t may give them sometimes a
little boost politically to talk in ex-
tremes and superlatives, but / have
heard expressions from leading Ne
groes in various cities that confirm my
judgment that the situation is growing
better and better
Il remember hearing Rev Dr.. Wal
ker, that Negro who went abroad and
preached in Surgeons pulpit and was
worthy to preach in that pulpit, ex-
press his friendship for the white peo-
pie Of Augusta, where l spent five or
six weeks, and express his view Of
the proposition that the Negro race
should be moved to some other coun-
try than this. He said they were
mighty well satisfied to live In Au-
gusta until they went to glory, and
that they did not want to go anywhere
else until they did go to glory. That
is the same sentiment found in Char
lotte and in Petersburg.
Il don't mean to say that there are
not exceptions. l mean to say that
those communities that are moving for
ward are moving forward with a keen
eye to progress, and that they realize
the advantage they have in the pres
ence Of the Negro race who are almost
their only laborers.
1T seems to me that the future Is in
the hands Of the race itself. I do not
mean to say that cruelties are not to
exist in the future and injustices, and
q great many reasons why complaints
should be made against the inhumani-
| ty Of man, but do mean to say that
there never has been q time in the
history of Negro race when the fu-
| ture offered such basis for belief in
| your success as q race, and for the be-
| lief that you have it in your hands to
make that success, as it Is today.
| Everything that / can do in the exc
cutive in the way Of helping along this
university ] expect to do. I expect to
do it because ] believe 1t Is debt Of
the people of the United States; 1t Is
an obligation Of the government Of the
United States, and 1T is money consti
tutionally applied to that which shall
work out in the end tho solution OF
one Of the great problems that God has
put upon the people Of the United
States"

New York, May 30.-John Tenn

Washington. Aug. 13.-That there viii
be a complete change in the Chinese
legation was made evident here today
by the receipt of a cabIegram recall
ing Or. Yen Wei Ching. second secTe-
tary, to Peking. DIT. Yen is a graduate
of the University Of Virginia and came
here with Mr. WI. His acquaintance
with American affairs made him
prominent factor in Mr.. Wu's regime
DR.. Yen's sympathy for the reforemrs
Of China was one of his distinguishing
traits.
Minister WI, who is now on his mis-
sion to Peru, will hasten to Washing
ton, although ne did not expect to re-
turn here until October.
Officials who are close to the Chi
nese legation believe MIR. WI will be
engaged at Picking in concluding the
cOdifcation Of the laws Of China. which
work was begun by him when he was
first recalled several years ago.
Chang Yin Ting, who viii become
minister here, is regarded as in perfect
accord with Mr.. WI in his general
views on the development of China.
While Chang Yin Tang was educated
at home and speaks little English, he
is said to be in sympathy with the
policy Of adopting western ideas. He
has a brother and son being educated
in this country. Another son was sent
to this country ten years ago and
adopted the name of Henry and is
generally known as Heng Chang. He
is a graduate of Pennsylvania uni
veTsity.
