Out^JEconomic Oppor- i tunities in f^Tsouth. f Tuskeegee, Ala., Special?President Roosevelt visite?l the Institute presided orcr by Hooker T. Washington located here on Tuesday and reviewed tin1 student body, lie took great interest in the work exhibited l?v tlie school ami also made an address to the students and faculty, and all those who had gathered to do him honor , Before beginning his speech the 1 President said he had no idea that he 1 would be so deeply impressed and so deeply pleased as he had been. " While , I have always stood for this institution,'' he continued, "now that 1 have ; seen it and realize as 1 had never realized by the descriptions of it. all it means, I will stand for it more than ever.'' The President's Address. To the white population as well as to the black, it is of the utmost importance that the negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness. It is to the interes' of the white people that this policy be conscienttiously pusued, and to the interest of the colored people that they clearly realize that they have opportunities for economic developmen here in the South not now offered elsewhere Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the South have incrnsed so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere; so that it is the part of wisdom l'ov all who wish the prosperity of the South to help the negro 'to become in the highest degree n.*-"ftil to himself, mwt tlw?vn fore to the community in which he lives. The South has always depended. and now* depends, chieMy upon her native population for her work. Therefore in view of the scarcity not only of common labor, but of skiled labor, it becomes doubly important to train every available man to he of the utmost use, by developing his intelligence, his skill and his capacity for conscientious effort. Hence the work of Tuskecgce Normal and Industrial Institute is a matter of the highest practical importance to both the white j and the black man. and well worth the support of both races alike in the ] South and in the North. Your fifteen hundred students are not only being ! educated in the head and heart, hut ni.-o trained to industrial efficiency; for from the beginning Tuskecgce has placed especial emphasis upon the training of nten and women in agriculture, mechanics and household duties. Training in these three : fundamental directions does not embrace al that the negro or any oilier race needs, but it does cover in a very largo degree the Held in which the ' negro can it present do most for himself and be most helpful to his white j neighbors. Every black man who leaves this institute better able to do mechanical or industrial work, adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community and benefits all people in the community. The prop-s sional and mercantile avenues to success are overcrowded, for the present the best chance of success awaits the int< li?cnt worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm; for this man will almost certainly achieve industrial independence. 1 am pleased, but not in the least surprised to learn that many nin unr the men and women trailed at Tuskoeiree find immediate employment as leaders and workers amonv their own people, and that their services are enirerly sonuht by white people for vaiious kinds of indus'iial work, the demand heitv* much greater than the ( ?upplv. Viewed from any anisic, iur- ( noranee is the costliest crop that can be raised in any part of this l'nion Kwrv dollni j?ut into the education of citther white man or black man, in , head, in hand and in the heart, yields rich devidcinls to tlie entire eommnnty. Merely from the economic stand- ( }x>int h is of the utmost consequence to nil our citi/cns that ins? iiutimis such as 'iV.skMsree should he a success. Rut tlnw are other and even ( higher reasons that entitle it to our support. In the interest of humanity, of justice, and'of self-protect ion, every white man in America, no matter w' ere he lives, should try to help the nepro to h"lp himself. It is the interest an for the protection of the white man to see that the ne^ro is educated It is not only the duty of the white man, but it is to his interest, to see that the negro is pro4 V 1 ??"tod in property, in life, nnd in all I lis legal rights. Every time law is inker. every individual in the community lias the moral lone of his life lowered. Lawlessness in the United States is not confined to any section: lynching is not confined to any section: and tllhrc is perhaps no body of American citizens who have deserved 50 well of the entire American rieonle is the public men, the publicists, the clergymen, the countless thousands of high-minded private citizens who Lave ilone such neroic work in the South m Mousing public opinion against lawlessness in all itts l'orms, and especially against their example will count in llio North as well as in the South, for there arc .just as great evils to he warred against in one region of our country as in another, though they are ?inf tit nil iilnnoc I lm c<l?nn f?\-ile \ iwl when any body of men in any eominunity stands bravely lor what is right. those men not merely servo a useful purpose in doing the part ieular task 1" which they set themselves hut give a lift t:. the <':itlcc ol' good citizenship throughout the I'nion. I liearlily appreciate what you have done at Tuskeegce; un?l 1 am sure you a ill not grudge my saying that it could not possibly have been done sate 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 white 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 Tuskeegee for what they have done. And right here, let me say that if in any community a :nisuiulei-standing between the races arises, over any mattei, infinitely the best way out is to have a prompt, frank and full conference aud consultation between representatives of the wise, decent, cool-headed men among the whites and 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 1 hnve sp.<kcu chiefly of the obligation existing on the part of the. white man. Now let you remember mi the other hand that no help eun permanently avail you save as you yourselves develop rapacity lor self help. You yonuaf colored men ami women educated at Ihiskee^oe must by precept and example lead your fellows toward sober, industrious, law abiding lives. 1 You are in honor bound to join hands in favor of law and order and to war against all crime, especially against all crime of men of your own race; for the heaviest wronjj done by the criminal is the wronsj to his own race. You must teaeh the people of your race that they mint rerupulously observe anv contract into which they in trood faith enter, no matter whether it is hard to keep or not. If you save money, secure homes, become fax payers and lead clean decent modest iivos, you will wi ntlie respect of your neighbors of both races. Let each man strive to excel his fellows only by rendering substantial service to the ommunity in which he lives. The colored people have many dilllculties to pass throng, buf*these di'llcalties will i>e surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued. i wu nine inuuc ii'ui *11111 greui progress. According t:> the census the colored people of iliis country own and pny taxo# upon something like three hundred million dollars worth :>f property, and have blotted out over (ifty per cent of their illiteracy. When you have done in the past :B an indication of what you will be able to do in the future under wise leadership Moral and industrial education is what is most needed, in order that this progress many contimie. The race cannot expect to get Werythinsj at once. It must lenritr to wait and hide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of t>ersecerance, of thrift, of self control. The ilestiny of the race is chieily in its own hands, and must be worked out patiently and persistently along these lines. Remember also that the white man who can be of most use to the colored mun is that colored man's neighbor. It is the Southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the South; >t' course what man in the South lies in his steady hope of advancement lor the colored eommonsense effort to improve his moral and material ion mwl to work ?n linrmtitiv with the white man in upbuilding the commonwealth. The future <?1" the South new depends upon the people d1' both races living up to the spirit ami 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 a sunonmoN.
