The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Pal?ers To Frederick Randolph Moore Tuskegee, Ala.] July 7, 1908 Dear Mr. Moore: There is great danger in having too much political matter in The Age. You ought to bear in mind that the great industrial, educational and moral interests of the race ought not to be neglected. This refers not only to the news column, but to the editorial column. There is also danger of your editorials becoming cheapened by reason that they contain too much advice dashed off without consideration on the part of the writer. It is the easiest thing in the woricl for the writer of an editorial to give advice instead of basing the editorial upon facts based upon careful research in careful directions. If you will read the editorial pages of papers like the Times, Sun, etc., you will find that there is at least one editorial nearly every day that deals with some subject that has required deep research and investigation on the part of some one in order to secure the facts upon which the editorial is based. That is the kind of thing that makes a great paper. Yours truly, B. T. W. TLpI Con. 6 BTW Papers DLC. To William Howard Taft [Tuskegee, Ala.] JIlly 9, 1908 Personal and Confidential. My dear Judge Taft: In case you plan to make any reference to the Negro in your letter of acceptance, I should like to have the opportunity of seeing what you plan to say before it is given out. I feel rather sure that Mr. Bryan in his letter of acceptance will say something on that subject. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. 7 BTW Papers DLC. 59O
