TAFT'S NEW PRECEDENT.

President Taft has greatly in
creased the confidence in which the
race holds him by his calling his
colored appointments in conference
with him. No other President has
gone as lar as President Taft has
gone in this matter. Recognizing
his colored appointees is recogniz-
ING the race. CoIored men are in
better position to give the Presi-
dent. or any OF his advisers, the
real facts about the race than any
white man can hope to be. There
IS no doubt but what President
Taft has greatly pleased the race
throughout the country by calling
to the White House to confer on
questions near and important to
the race such men as hold high
office here in Washington. The
precedent has been set by Mr.. Taft,
and it is a splendid precedent. 1t
was a Just recognition Of compe-
tent, earnest, raCe-lovIng colOred
officials. The Bee joins in the gen
eral praise bestowed upon the
President, by the race everywhere,
for having called into conference
the colored men whom he conferred
with on last Wednesday and
Thursday evening. That good will
result from 1t there can be no ques-
ton. The colored officials them
selves are profuse III their praise
of the honor the President paid the
race, through them, and of the very
cordial treatment accorded them
If white officials would but get in
touch with colored officials more
frequently, it would not be long
until the understanding between
them would innure to the great
benefit of the race. President Taft
has set the precedent.
