Washington Notes.
WILSON’S CABINET.
president-elect Wilson is one
,)f the most reticent men ever
‘hosen president of the United
When reporters try to
rer some news out of him about
t-s cabinet his mouth and tongue
seem to be held fast by a pad
'ick.
It has however leaked out from
cources close to Mi. Wilson that
i! is very likely that A. Mitchell
Palmer, Pa., will be attorney
General A. S. Burleson, of Texas
vill be Secretary of Agriculture
j-nd Josephus Daniels of North
Carolina will be Post Master
Teneral These names v/ere
■btained from what are consider-
V i by newspapers as “inspired
sources'’ and while they are not
^.rfirnjed or denied by Mr. Wilson
himself they are no doubt the
;:ames he has in mind at the
j.resent time.
I?EARINGS ON THE] TARIFF
BILL.
rhe hearings on the tariff bill
-.liich the Democrats wiil intre-
;,.^ce will commence before the
Vays and Means Committee on
J.ui'iary 6th, and it is expected
-!:at unusual interest will attach
it-,eii to these proceeding's.
■ HE SOUTEI AND PROTEC
TION.
The South Which has been send
ing Democratic Delegations to
congress for years anifl years is
now an important manufacturing
commun ity and it is thought that
tney will show more interest in
mamtaining a protective tariff
than they have ever done since
the war. The South is now lit
erally covered with manufactur-
mg establishments and feels the
need of protection same as the
manufacturing industries of the
ientral and New England states
do.
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Serious attention will be given
to financial legislation also in the
near future!
It is clearly evident that the
finances of this country while
good and sound are not cn a
scientific basis and the fact of it
is that the country does not pos
sess an inadequate supply of
money, with which to conduct
the vast business we carry on.
In the days of Clay, Calhoun and
Webster the leading financiers as
well as those great Senators
reached the conclusion that there
should be about one dollar ($1)
for every thirty, dollars ($30)
worth of property and as thi‘^
country now posesses about one
hundred and fifty billion dollars

worth of property there should
be five billion dollars ($5,000,000)
circularing medium, while we
only have a tariff over three bil
lion dollars in circulation, and
consequently only thirty-five dol
lars per capita, when |we should
have $50 per capita.
We have had a great deal of
talk about there being an abund
ance of money in the country,
and it is true that there is a large
aggregate amount of money in a
few hands, but Jthere is not
enough money for the transact
ing of the business of the coun
try to keep it up to that florish-
ing state of prosperity which is
within our reach. Every autumn
when the time of “moving the
crops’' arrives the demands for
money with which to move them
is so great and the tension so
strenous that it almost snaps at
times, (and did in 1907) so this
one fact alone proves that there
should be an enlargement of the
volume of the country's money.
PRANCE AN EXAMPLE.
France is the most prosperous
of any country in Europe or any
one in the world except the Un
ited States and France has a larg
er circulation per capita, than any
country in the world. , France
has a circulation of over forty
dollars per capita and France has
never been known to have a
panic in times of peace. The
subject of finance presents a
great opportunity for ambitious
statement in Washing
ton as they have given vei’y mea
gre atter.tion . to this great sub
ject.
Two Handcuffed Men taken At
Morgantoif.
Morganton, Dec. iS.-yTv/o
unknown men with handcuffs on
their wrists, and who had _ evi
dently escaped from officers
somewhere, were arrested
here last night, on the arrival of
train number 35. They had
been handcuffed together but
had succeeded in breaking the
chain and each had one cuff on
each wrist. The conductor of
the train noticed the handcuff
and telegraphed to the officers
here, who made the arrest, Both
men are young and fairly well
dressed, one bsing tall and the
other about average size.
Nothing can be learned from
them as they will not talk futher
than state they were handcuffed
together and robbed in Raleigh,
by a policeman and who became
frightened and ran leaving then
handcuffed together after which
they broke the chain with /a
railroad iron.
No credit is given their story
seem to know but little of each
other, one claiming to be from
Memohis, the other Atlanta,
but telegrams to these places
discred it their story. They are
being held in Morganton jail until
futher information is recieved.

Resolutions.
At the November meeting of
the W, C. T. LT. the following
resolutions were adopted.
Whereas our beloved President
Mrs. S. L. Morgan, who since
the begining of our organization
has served so faithfully, has
been called to a different field
of labor and whereas we realize
that in her going we are losing
a most efficient helper, one who
by her faithfulness and interest
in the work has greatly endeared
herself to each member, the we
recognize the influence of a
higher power in the circumstan
ces which induced her to sever
^ the ties binding her to our union.
Therefore resolved that we her
colaborers in the work extend to
her our sincere regret upon los
ing her also our thanks and
and appreciation for her help
and interest in every department
of our work.
That our tenderest love and
best wishes follow her and that
we bid her God speed in the nov/
work to which she has gone.
That a copy of these resolut-
tions be sent Mrs. Morgan, that
they be placed on record in the
minutes of the W. C. T. U. Also
sent to the White Ribbon and
j our tovv?n papers for publication.
I Mrs. R. M. Morrow.
