By President Roosevelt to the i

GAVE MUCH GOOD ADVICE
In His Address He Urges the Ilfpor- ]
tance of Good Negro-^fltfizenship ,
and Points. 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

St. Petersburg, I'.v fable- \VI?i 1 ?
tlio day passed quietly, without bloodshed
in the Russian capital, and
while tin* city is outwardly calm, the
developments all indicate that a crisis
is imminent, although the streets are
filled with troops, ami reenfei cements
are now putting in from Finland, the
government seems utterly powerless to
cope with the ^'tuatiou and many
calm observers seem seriously to believe
that the present regime is tottering
to its fall
Differences have developed between
fount Witte and (Sen. TrepotT,
and while the precious moments pass
the F.mperor, surrounded by the lmpoi
ial family, remains shut up at
l'eterhoff, seemingly still eesi'.at ing
as to what eourse to pursue .
Grave doubt's are expressed as to
whether even the imperial guards
can now he relied upon. Discontent
is rife. Karlv Sunday morning the
Fourteenth and Kighteenth I'.quippage
of sailors of the guard, who have
been shut up like prisoners in barracks,
on the Moskn Canal, demolished
the windows and furniture and in
the afternoon a detachment consisting
of four ollicers of the guard went to
the lawyer's assembly, and toid the
barristers that many officers and a
large part of the troops were disgusted
with the government, and ready to
enlist in the movement for freedom.
They asked for aid towards effecting
organization, and said they had discussed
