FUTURE OF THE NEGRO RACE APPEARS MORE BRIGHT. President Taft Speaks to Colored Graduates “of Howard University. Washington, May 26.—Speaking to the colored graduates of Howard uni- versity in this city today, President Taft declared that never at any time has the future of the negro, as a race, appeared more hopeful and bright than the presentyday. The president Impressed upon his hearers the fact that it is for the groes themselves to work out their own future and to make themselves valuable citizens of the communities in which they lived, Conditions for the negro, in the south, the president said, are growing better. Southern people of the better class are com- ing to look more and more upon the negro race as one of the most valua- Dle assets and Mr. Taft again urged upon the negro the importance of Zaining the respect and friendship of the white people among whom he is to live. The task of educating the negro, and especially of educating leaders among the race, the president asserted, was a debt owed by the gov- ernment; a debt only too difficult of repayment because of the constitu- tional limits of the government in dealing with the individual. President Taft personally handed to the 100 or more candidates for degrees their parchment rolls. ARREST OF BUFFALO CASHIER. Two Employes of County Treasury Charged With Peculation.
