SECRETARY TAFT ON
NATIONAL ISSUES
Defends President Hoose
velt's Policies.
ISSUE AT LAST JOINED.
The Decree of Judge Jones
Must be Sustained.
Io Address Which He Calls His "Po
litical Confession of Faith", the
Secretary Declares It Will
Be Unwise for Republi
can Party to Fail to
Pledge Itself to
Revise Ding
ley Law.
(By special wire to The Argus.)
Columbus, O., Aug. 20. William H.
Taft, Secretary of War, made what he
was pleased to term his "political con
fession of faith" at Memorial Hall last
night. The auditorium, which has a
Beating capacity of more than 5, 000, was
packed to the doors and several thous
and persons who came to hear the Sec
retary speak were unable to gain ad
mittance. The Secretary spoke under
the auspices of the Buckeye Republican
Club and the address was notable Irom
the fact that it is regarded as the plat
form upon which he will make his
campaign for the Republican nomina
tion for President.
Mr. Taft made no formal announce
ment of his candidacy, but he was in
troduced by Gov. Harris as the "next
President of the United States, "which
;was the signal for a prolonged out
burst of applause.
Special interest was manifested in
Secretary Taft's utterances on the
tariff. He reiterated his previous de
clarations in favor of revision and de
clared that it would be both unwise
and uusaie for the Republican party to
fail to pledge itself to revise the Ding
ley law as soon after the the next presi
dential election as possible. His de
fense of President Roscvelt's policies
evoked enthusiastic applause.
Secretary Taft will resign the cabi
net some time in October. His resig
nation will be cabled from Manila,
where he will go next month and thence
around the world.
In his speech here he replied vigor
ously to the criticisms and attacks of
Senator Foraker, and manifested a
bellicose attitude towards Foraker, that
would indicate that there is little hope
for peace between them ever in the
iuture.

It is reported that the new Union
Station to be built at Goldsboro will
cost $75,000 and will be one of the finest
railway stations in JfoFth Carolina, '
somewhat like th& tfne at Durham, but
Having two stories instead of one. One
thing is certain, Goldsboro is not get
ting her depot before she needed it.
Goldsboro will soon be a town of
handsome buildings it she keeps on at
the present rate. She has a municipal
building that is a thing ot beauty and
a source of pride

' IAST Of LETTEK8
So Decides Attorney-General Bona
parte In the Alabama Rate
Hash With Louisville and
Nashville Railway.
(By Special Wire to the Abgcs)
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 20. United
States Attorney Spencer of this district
is in receipt of a telegram today trom
Attorney-General Bonaparte informing
him that it is the duty of the Depart
ment of Justice to uphold Federal
Court decrees in so far as executive ex
ecution of its orders are needed, and
therefore, that the action of Judge
Jones enjoining the sheriffs and State
authorities of Alabama trom interfer
ing with the operation of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad for not com
plying with the new rate law, pending
final adjudication, must be sustained.
This puts it up squarely to Governor
Comer to make a test of State and Fed
eral authority in this matter.
If sheriffs in Alabama now arrest any
ticket agents or others for violations
in point there will follow a strenuous
test of authority, and the conflict will
be both exciting and interesting,
well as far-reaching.
COMPETENT
JURISDICTION.
ANOTHER NEW
YORK MURDER.
An Alabama Judge Recog
nizes Federal Authority.
His Decision Settles the Vexed Railroad
Rate Situation in That State Until
the Contention is Judicially
Determine!
Special to The Argus.
Birmingham, Aug. 21. State Judge
Miller, whose court is th? first to be
held since the Louisville and Nashville
LRailway secured its injunction from
Federal Judge Jones against arrest of
railroad people for not putting the
lower passenger rate into effect, in
structed the grand jury not to find any
indictments against L. and N. folks;
that a court of competent jurisdiction
had enjoined criminal prosecution and
none can be prosecuted 'till the highest
court settles the contention.
So the State ot Alabama at last has
surrendered to Uncle Sam.

L. N. GRANT,
: Although a great many people think
the unlikely is the most likely to hap
pen, it sometimes comes to pass that
the likely does happen, and that's just
what has happened between Russia
and Japan.
Thes two p6W8fs Lave entered Into
an alliance to "protect" China, which
means that thev will divide the Chi.

the other nations of the world to pick
up such crumbs as may be permitted I Some of the gentlemen who are so
to come their way. This alliance is the fond of "voting their honest oonvio-
natural and logical outcome oi the tions," that they have to announce the
Russo-Japanese war. I fact, may be allowed to watch other
Men fall out, fight and are foes ever people vote theirs, next time.

authority that at one time there were

CUTICURA REMEDIES
A PERFECT SUCCESS
I wish to let you know that I have
tiibd one set tf Cuticura Remedies
one cake of Cuticura. Soap, one box of
Cuticura, but two vials of Cuticura
Resolvent Pills which cost me a
dollar and twenty-five cents in all. For
a year I have had what they call eczema.
I had an itching all over my body, and
When I would retire for the night it
would keep me awake half the night,
and the more I would scratch, the mora
it would itch. I tried all kinds of rem
edies, but could get no relief. A friend
of mine told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies which I did, and am very
glad I tried them, for I was completely
cured. If any of my friends should
be troubled with the same disease, I
will cheerfully recommend the Cuticura
Remedies, and if I know any one who
wants to know how I cured myself, I
shall be glad to tell them. Walter W.
