DR.. Booker II. Washington was in

and the discussion of the education

Of the Negro race WIS one that
would have done our people every

The president is a trustee Of the
Jeanes and Slater educational funds
and Is an ardent supporter Of the
work that is being carried on at
Howard and Fisk as we'll as that
which DR.. Washington is FOSTERING
at Tuskegee. Mr.. Taft believes,
with the sensible members Of our
race, in the higher education for
those in a position to receive and
use 1T to advantage, and is in favor
Of a sound, serviceable training for
the Negro masses, who, in the final
analysis, must work with their
hands. The address Of DR.. Washing
ton at the Wilberforce commences
ment is regarded here as the most
significant and far-reaching deliv-
erance that has been made by him
since the famous Atlanta speech in
1895. The "Wizard" was never SO
strong in the affections of the peo-
pie of America as he is today. He
