ROOSEVELT AT TUSKEGEE.
Address to Students at Booker
Washington's Institute.
Gives Good Advice to the Colored Race
and Tells Them That Their Destiny
is Chiefly in Their Own Hands
Must be floral. Honest, Industrious
and Lawabidine, and Prove Them
selves Worthy by Working Patient
ly and Persistently Along These
Lines.
The visit of President Roosevelt to
Hooker Washington's Institute at
Tuskegee, Alabama, and what he
would say there was looked forward
to with keen interest. We therefore
give his address in full. After speak
ing at the Female College (white)
where lie addressed the young ladies
and a large and enthusiastic crowd
of citizens of the town and surround
ing country the President went to
Tuskegee Institute, accompanied by
the reception omniittee and other
prominent white persons. He was
received by Principal Hooker T.
Washington and members of the In
stitute board of trustees and faculty.
Principal Washington presented the
President in the following words:
"In presenting our guest to the
students, teachers and citizens, I
must not omit to express the grati
tude felt by the people of the Tuske
gee Institute, by the people of both
races in this section of Alabama, for
the honor which has been conferred
upon them. That the Chief Magis
trate of our beloved republic of 80,
000,000 people deemed it good and
wise to include Tuskegee Institute in
his trip through the South and spend
a few hours seeing the work we are
doing here, brings to the lieart of
every man and woman of our race in
this country a degree of encourage
ment and inspiration which it is im
possible for any American citizen not
of our race, fully to appreciate."
The President's Address.
President Roosevelt spoke as fol
lows: "To the white population as well
as the black, it is with the utmost
importance that the negro be en
couraged to make himself a citizen
of the highest type of usefulness. It
is to the interest of the white people
that this policy be conscientiously
pursued, and to the interest of the
colored people that they clearly
realize that they have opportunities
for economic development here in
the South not now offered elsewhere
Within the last twenty years the in
dustrial operations of the South
have increased so tremendously that
there is a scarcity of labor almost
everywhere; so that it is the part of
wisdom for all who wish the prosper
it y of the South to help the negro to
become in the highest degree useful
to himself, and therefore to the com
munitv in which he lives. The South
has always depended, and now de
pends chiefly upon her native popu
lation for work. Therefore m view
of the scarcity not only 01 common
labor, but of skilled labor, it becomes
doubly important to tram every
available-man to be of the utmost
use, by developing his intelligence,
his skill and his capacity for con
scientious effort. Hence the work of
Normal and Industrial
Institute is a matter of the high-
t practical importance to both
the white man and -the black man,
and well worth the support of both
races alike in the South and in the
North. Your fifteen hundred stu
lents are not only being educated in
t ho head and heart, but afso trained
to industrial efficiency, for from the
beginning Tuskegee has placed special
emphasis upon the training of men
and women m agriculture, mechanics
and household duties. Training in
these three fundamental directions
does not embrace all that the negro
or any other race needs, but it does
cover in a very large degree the field
in which the negro can at present do
most for himself and be most helpful
to white neighbors. Lverv black
man who leaves this institute better
able to do mechanical or industrial
work adds so much to the wealth of
the whole community and benefits
all people in the community. The
professional and mercantile avenues
to success are overcrowded, for the
present the best chance of success
awaits the intelligent worker at
some mechanical trade or on a farm:
for this man will almost certainly
achieve industrial independence

prised to learn that many among the

leaders and workers among their
own people, and that their services
are eagerly sought, by white people
for various kinds of industrial work,
the demand being much greater than
the supply. Viewed from any angle,
ignorance is the costliest crop that
can ue raised in any pari oi mis
' . . i . . e .1 ' .
liiiou. Every dollar put into the
education of either white man or
black man, in head, in hand and in
heart, yields rich dividends to the
entire community. Merely from the
economic standpoint it is of the ut-
most consequence to all our citizens
that institutions such as this at
Tuskeeree should be a success. Hut
there are other and even higher rea-
sons that entitle it to our support.
In the interest of humanity, of jus-
tice, and self protection, every white
man in America, no matter where, he
lives, should try to help the negro
to helD himself. It is to the interest
nnd for the nrotectiou of the white
man to see that the negro is educa-
wi irisnnr onlv the dutv of the
white man. but it is to his interest to
see that the negro is protected in
property, in life, and in all his legal
rights. Every time a law is broken
every individual in the community
has the moral tone of his life lowered.
Lawlessness in the United States is
not confined to any section; lynching
is not confined to any section: and
there is perhaps no body of Ameri -

well of the entire American neonle as
vuv yuunc men, me puoncists, tne (
clergymen, ne countless tnousands
of high-ininded private citizens who
have done such heroic work in the
South in arousing public opinion
against lawlessness in all its forms,
and especially against lynching. 1
very earnestly hope that their ex
ample will count in the North as well
as in the South, for there are just us
great evils to be warred against in
one region of our country as in
another, though they are not in all
places the same evils. And when
any body of.men in any community
stands bravely for what is right.
those men not merely serve a useful
purpose in doing the'particular task
to which they set themselves, but
give a lift to the cause of good citi
zenship throughout the Union. I
heartily appreciate what you have
done at Tuskegee: and I am sure
you will not grudge my saying that
it could not possibly have been done
save for the loyal support you have
received from the white people round
about; for during the 25 years of
effort to educate the black man here
in the midst of a whits community
of intelligence and culture, there has
never been an outbreak between the
races or any difficulty of any kind.
All honor is due to the white men of
Alabama, to the white men of Tuske
gee for what they have done. And
right here, let me say that if nt any
community a misunderstanding be
tween the races arises, over any mat
ter, infinitely the best way out is to
have a prompt, frank and full con
ference and consultation between
representatives of the wise, decent.
cool-headed men among the whites
ana the wise, decent, cool-headed
colored men. Such a conference will
always tend to bring about a better
understanding, and will be a great
help all around.
Hitherto I have spoken chiefly of
the obligations existing on the part
of the white man. Now let you remem
ber on the other hand that no help can
permanently avail you save as you
yourselves develop capacity for 'self
help. You young colored men and
women educated at Tuskegee must
by precept and example lead your
fellows toward sober and industri
ous, law abiding lives.
You are in honor bound to join
hands in favor of law and order and
to war against all crime by men of
your own race; for the" heaviest
wrong done by the criminal is the
wrong to his own race. You must
teach the people of your race that they
must scrupuously observe any con
tract in which they in good faith en
ter, no matter whether it is hard to
keep or not. If you save money, se
cure homes, become tax-payers and
lead clean, decent, modest lives, you
will win the respect of your neigh
bors of both races. Let each man
strive to excel his fellows only by
rendering substantial service to the
community in hieh he lives. The
colored people have many difficulties
to pass through, but these difficulties
will be surmounted if only the policy
of reason and common sense is pur-
suea. i ou na ve made real and great
progress. According to the census
the colored people of this country
own and pay taxes upon something
like three hundred million dollars
worth of property, and have blotted
out over fifty per cent of their illiter
acy.. What you have done in the
past is an indication of what you
will be able to accomplish in the fu
ture under wise leadership. Moral
and industrial education is what is
most needed, in order that this pro
gress may continue. The race can
not expect to get everything at once
it must learn to wait and bide its
time; to prove itself worthy by show
ing its possession of perseverance, of
thrift, of self control. The destiny of
the race is chiefly in its own hands,
and must be worked out patiently
ana persistently along these lines
Remember also that the white man
who can be of most use to the color
ed man is that colored man's neigh
bor. It is the Southern people them
selves who must and can solve the
difficulties that exist in the South; of
course what man in the South lies in
his steady, hope of advancement for
the colored common sense effort to
improve his moral and material con
dition and to work in harmonv with
the white man in upbuilding the
commonwealth. The future of the
South now depends upon the people
of both races living up to the spirit
and letter of the laws of their several
States and working out the destinies
of both races, not as
races, but
as
law abiding American citizens.
Sympathetic Spirits.
Rev.
P. R. Law in Lumberton Robesonian.
Sympathetic spirits are the boon
of the race. The good thev do lives
on. No man can forget their helpful
services. It is impossible to picture
a man who does not both need and
should have it. Let us cultivate the
grace. Perhaps there is not an hour
in any life into which sympathy may
not be poured to soothe and bright
en. The cheery looking souls who
are apparently so happy are in sor
row in the inmost part of their hearts
where they live most. Laughter and
facetious speech do not prove the ab-
sence of gloom. It may be there is
light in the face and gloom in the
' soul. The wretch whose life is wreck-
ed by vice appeals to us tenderly.
. Feel for him. The clanking of the
chains of habit that fetter are bells
calling us to stoop and conquer with
the touch of tender sympathy. It is
; love that wins. There is no other
such conquerer. This is victor when
everv other means fails. Vtoen we
; were sinners Christ died for us. Noth
ing can be more noble than trying
j by the compulsory power ot love to
save the lost.

Knowledge Brings Luck.
New Bern Journal.
"0, once in each man's life, at least,
Good luck knocks at his door;
And wit to seize the flitting guest,
Need never hunger more.
I5ut while the loitering idler waits
(iood luck beside his fire.
The bold heart storms at fortune's gates,
And conquers its desire."
At this the beginning of another
school year, too much emphasis can
not be laid upon the question of edu
cation, and this is a matter impor
tant to parent and child. Education
is not mere attendance upon school,
the gathering together of a few rules
of arithmetic and grammar, learning
to spell easy words and a few hard
ones
and getting a few historical and.
raphical facts. Education is
not simply good school attendance;
nit school attendance righttully and
thoughtfully entered upon, is most
vital in its effective influence and re
sult upon the educational life of every
child.
It is the thought beforehaud of the
parent which prepares the child to be
in the just and proper receptive mood
so that coming to the teacher there
is no awkwardness, no hesitation to
begin work, or a desire of anything
except to enter upon every school
dutv with care and diligence, llns
opens the right way for t he child, and
there is no grind, no struggle to get
into the spirit of every day school
life, which once rightly entered upon
makes all studv a pleasure, and the
hard work to possess no terrors to
overcome.
It is the thoroughness in any pro
fession which brings courage to at
tempt and do, not wait for Good
Luck to knock at the door, tor the
very preparedness of any person is
the open sesame to honor, fame and
fortune, for the one so prepared cares
for no warning, no invitation to
come forth, for he or she is already
on the way to storm whatever may
oppose, or stand in the way of suc
cess.
Knowledge brings luck because
knowledge is being in a state of read
iness, and this means the acceptance
to do whatever comes to hand, or
bringing something to hand if it
does not present itself. Tiie posses
sor of knowledge cannot be an idler,
for the idler is one who waits for
something to come to hand, instead
of going forth to seek it, and this
very desire, this eagerness to go forth
prompted by the knowledge of per
sonal power and ability is the cer
tain precursor of individual success.

The State and the President.
Biblical Recorder.
In no other State was the President
of the United States so bitterly de
nounced and abused as he was in
North Carolina during the campaign
one 3-ear ago. Even after the cam
paign, when it was proposed that he
visit the South, many newspapers as
sailed the very idea. But now the
President is on the way. Our towns
and cities are begging him to stay
with them not two, but fifteen min
utes, and the whole Commonwealth
is out to greet him.
This does not mean that the State
has gone or will go Republican. Nor
does it mean that the State would
1 vote for Roosevelt. It does not mean
that our leading politicians would
denounce him any the less in another
campaign. It does not mean that
we are one whit more tolerant of the
Booker Washington affair than we
were when it occurred.
But it does mean that North Caro
lina can discriminate. She holds to
her position, but she admires a great
man. She abhors the President's
i race polfey, so far as the Booker
! Washington lunch reflects it; but she
believes in the honesty of the Presi
dent and admires the independence
of his spirit. She does not share the
venomous sentiments that political
leaders spread abroad in North Car
olina a year ago; she has learned bet
ter than that; but she realizes that
while she is greeting the President
with enthusiasm as spontaneous and
as pervasive as if he were of the South,
that this is because he is President
and because he is discharging his du
ties well.
North Carolina shares more of the
national spirit than she thinks. It is
abroad this week, and it is good to
see. She is giving herself heartilj to
the welcome of a President between
whom and herself there is a great
gulf fixed, because he is the chief man
of the nation, and as such is doing
well before his people and the nations
of the world.

tions, problems connected with labor,
problems connected with both the
accumulation ami the distribution of
wealth. The problems are new, but
the spirit in which we must approach
their solution is old. We must face
the work we have to do, as our fath
ers faced their work, if we wish to be
successful. Tin's is an age of organi
zationthe organization should be
welcomed when it does good, and
fearlessly opposed when it does evil.
Our main object should be to strive to
keep the reign of justice alive in this
country, so that we should above all
things avoid the chance ofeverdivid
ing on the lines that separate one
class of occupation for another. The
man who would teach either wage
worker or capitalist that the other is
his foe is a bad citizen and a faithless
American. We can afford to divide
along lines that would represent hon
est differene cof opinion, but we can
not afford to divide on thefundainen
tal lines of cleavage that separate
good citizens from bad citizens; and
we must remember that if we intend
to keep this republic in its position
of headship among the nations of
mankind, that we can never afford to
deviate from the old American doc
trine of treating each man according
to his worth as a man of paying
heed not to whether js rich or
poor, but heed only to whether he
acts as a decent citizen, or if he is a
decent man in his domestic life, .-m
honest man in business a m,in who
in good faith tries to do his dutv lv
his neighbor and by the State.
No Patent Device to (iood Citizenship.
And now, my fellow-citizens, n
meniber there is no patent device by
which you can achieve good citizen
ship. There is no patent device by
which you can achieve good govern
ment. The good citizen is the ,tian
who is a good fatherand a good hus
band, the man who behaves himself.
The man whom you can trust to have
as a neigfibor. He is glnd to have as
neighbor. He is the good citizen,
the public confides in nnd who
does well in the State is the man who
applies in dealing with his fellows in
the mass just those same nualities
that make good citizenship in the in
dividual. And now I have got to say good
bye. I cannot tell you how l enioved
my trip through this State, marred
though it has been by t lie lamentable
death that rendered the Governor
unable to come with me. nnd for
which I feel profound regret, and
sympathy with the Governor.
Crop of Children the Best Crop.
And now, in saying good-bye, I
want to say to you men and women
that I have been immensely impress
ed with North Carolina with her ;ir
riculture, with her industries, but
that the crop that 1 like I jest is the
crop of children. And I congratulate
North Carolina. I congratulate
North. Carolina on the fact that, to
all appearances, the children seem to
be all right in quality and quantity.
As the President turned to take his
seat after shaking, Miriam Math
eny, a great granddaughter of the
late Squire Benjamin P. Bovd, of this
city, and the daughter of Mr. Pinck
ney Matheny, of Bamburg, S. C, pre
sented him with a tremendous bou
quet of roses. The President bowed,
scented the flowers, picked up the lit
tle child, who is but five years old.up
in his arms, held her to his shoulders,
presented her to the multitude and
said: "Here is the best product, the
finest crop.'"

made at Charlotte. It was also the

man side of the man. We therefore
make no apology for giving it here,
copying from the Charlotte Observer.
Cpon being presented by Mayor Mc
Ninch the President said:.
Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, and you,
my fellow-citizens, men nnd women
of North Carolina:
I have enjoyed more than 1 can say
passing through this great State to
day. 1 entered your borders a prett v
good American, and I leave them a
better American, and I have rejoiced
in the symptoms of your abounding
material prosperity.' I am here In a
great center of cotton manufacture.
Within a radius of a hundred miles
of this city, perhaps half of thecottou
manufacturing in the I'nited States
is done. 1 realize to the full, as does
every good citizen, that there must
be a foundation of material prosper
ity upon which to build the welfare
of State or nation, but 1 realize also,
as does every good citizen, that ma
terial prosperity material well-beingcan
never be anything but the
foundation. It is the indispensable
foundation, but if we do not raise
upon it the superstructure of a higher
citizenship, then we fail in bringing
this to the level to which it shall and
will be brought. And so, though I
congratulate you upon what you
have done in the way of material
growth, I congratulate you even
more upon the great historic memor
ies of your State. It is not so very
far from here that the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence was
made the declaration tlit pointed
out the path on which the thirteen
United Colonics trod a few months
later.
Refers to fir. Stonewall Jackson.
As I got off the train here, 1 was
greeted by one citizen of North Caro
lina (and I know that neither the
Governor, the Mayor nor the Sena
tors will blame me for what I am go
ing to say) whose greeting pleased
and touched me more than the greet
ing of any man could have touched
me. I was greeted by the widow of
Stonewall Jackson. And we of this
united country have a right to chal
lenge as a part of the heritage of
honor and glory of each American
the reunion of one people Americans
who fought in the Civil War wheth
er they wore the blue or whether
they wore the gray. The valor shown
alike by the men of the North and
the men of the South as they battled
for the right, as (Jod gave them to
see the right, is now part of what we,
all of us, keep with pride. It was my
good fortune to appoint to West
Point the grandson of Stonewall
Jackson.
Spoke of the Shlpp Monument.
Here, as I came up your streets, I
saw a inonument raised to a fellow
soldier of mine who fell in the Span
ish war at Santiago to Shipp of
North Carolina. The morning of the
fight, he and I took breakfast to
gether. It wasn't much of breakfast,
but it was the only breakfast that
was going, and we were glad to get
it. The night IjeforK 1 had no sup
per, and he and his comrades gave
me out of the very small amount
that they had a sandwich. In the
moring, they had no material for
breakfast, but by that time my things
had come up, and I shared my
breakfast with them. That was at
dawn. Before noon, one of them was
killed, and the other (as we then
thought) fatally wounded.
And now, there are here men who
fought in the great war. Wt- who
went in in ".)ti had the opportunity
to fight only in a small war, and all
that we claim is that we hope we

and asked how much more time he
had if it was not t wo minutes. Some
one told him to speak as long as he
wanted to, when he made the charac

he "would like to go on all night.")
Every Man Has a Duty to Perform.
Am! now, gentlemen, though we
glory in the memories of the past, we
must rememljcr ever to keep these
memories, not as excuses for failing
; to do well in the past, but as incent
ives to spur us on to action. In life,
every victory won inevitably brings
u face to face with a new struggle.
: The men of one generation have to
do t heir alloted task. If they fail to do
1 it, they accumulate misfortune upon
tho who come after them. If they
. do it, it yet remains true that the
' men who come after them must do
; their tasks in return. It is just as it
is with you, my escort, the men of
I the National Guard, theartillerymen,
the infantrymen. If there comes a
war, I know I can count on you and
i those likeyou, because the memory of
i what your fathers did will make you

mands of the new time, as they rose
level to the demands of their time.
