The geese and turkeys of Swain County must now stop their depre dations the Legislature has passed a law. - - Tillman should first show his Inno cence, and abuse the President and the Secret Service afterwards. Even it the bill Increasing the sal ary of the Labor Commissioner Is passed it will not become effective for two years. The Senate Judiciary Committee .will meet next Wednesday to exam ine those teeth in the Lockhart anti trust bill. The NewB and Observer wants an anti-trust law with "teeth." Who Is going to make those teeth bite even if the law Is passed? If Tillman would spend his time in an attempt to prove his Innocence In stead of abusing the President, it would put him In a better light with the public. The resolution Introduced in the Legislature to adjourn February 15th sine die was lost. They will now adjourn when the spirit moves them. We can't see how the Legislature I can expect to restore the dignity to the office of justice of the peace by Bez: "Who do you wish ter see?" appointing men at long range of "The Preserdent," sez I. "On busi whom they know nothing about. ness or pleasure?" sez he. "Both," A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to allow sheriffs $25 for each illicit distillery they destroy.

BILKINS IN WASHINGTON. tie Finally Reaches the White House Mid Receive, a Hearty Welcome Ilad to Ron the Guantlet of the White House Detective Force The President Was Not Very Busy. Correspondence of The Caucasian Enterprise. Washington, D. C, Jan. 18, 1909. I am still roaming erround this purty city seekln' whom I may de vour. I her bin wantin' ter see Pres erdent Roosevelt. But ax I am nat urally bashf ul, an' not beln' uster goin' ermong grate peeple, I hev bin slow gittin' ter see him. When the Preserdent wuz at Ra leigh ter make a speech at the State Fair an' go a bear-huntln' with me, he told me ter be sure an' cum ter Washington soon an' ter not stand on ceremony when I got thar, but ter go rite ter the White House an' re port ter him an' git a real old-fashioned American welcome. Well, I hev seen the elephant. I hev bin ter the White House an hit wuz jist like havln' a tooth pulled the pain most awl cum before the pullin an' while the pullin' wuz takln' place. Yes, I finally mustered up courage an' jist marched rite into the White House yard az bold az a book-agent. A feller wuz walkln erbout in the yard with over-alls on pretendin' he wuz lookin' at the bushes an' flowers an 'things. I seed two or three oth ers a-pretendin' ter be doln' sump thin in the yard.

The national administration may be properly held account able and its policy determined by the qualifications, fitness, and standing of the men appointed to represent it in the districts and States of the section. I real ize, therefore, that expressions of sympathy with the South and an earnest desire to bring it closer to the central government in thought and action and feel ing will have comparatively lit tle weight unless this expression is accompanied by such appoint ments in the South as shall prove this sympathy to be real and substantial. All I can say with reference to the future policy of the ad ministration in the South on this subject Is, that I expect to spare no effort to find out the facts in respect to the character of proposed appointees, and, so far as in me lies, to select those whose character and reputation and standing in the community commend them to their fellow citizens as persons qualified and able to discharge their duties well and whose presence in Im portant positions will remove, if any such thing exists, the sense of alienism in the govern ment which they represent.

"I have not come down here for political purposes, and am not here to preach a political propaganda, nor if 1 were would I expect a political revolution In any of the States of the South. A political change, if it comes, in my judgment, most come by a continuance of the present movement, to-wit: The development of independence of political thought and action on the part of the com paratively small minority, which shall slowly attain the proportions of a respectable opposition in each State to the controlling party. "The South and the Southern peo ple are conservative, and they do not change in a mercurial . way. With them traditions are respected and are strong motive of action.. And If one were affected by purely partisan mo tives he must regard the effort to create a successful opposition in the South to the present controllng party in such a way as to secure electoral votes ln a national campaign as a waste of strength and energy. For Non-Sectional Parties. "Occasionally a member of Con gress may be secured, but this is not enough to warrant the attention that ought to be paid to encouraging the movement for political independence and action in the South. The motive for that must be the earnest desire of all patriotic men to make parties non-sectlonal and to unite and knit more closely those parts of the country which a bloody war once divided, but which now ought to be, and certainly will be, in the progress of events, one in feel ing, sympathy, and aspiration. "I observe that among some prom- Inent members of Congress there is a disposition to charge me with the at- tempt to win the south over to Re- publicanism, and a somewhat con- temptuous expression of opinion that! Ihis is utterly impossible. To them I would say that I am no hoDeful of winnine the South over, as they say. but that the South has succeeded In winning me. . I wo Koom for Failure.

This section of the bill reads as follows: "(a) For any person, firm, or cor poration to make or have an agree ment, express or implied, to lower or prevent the increase in price of an ar ticle or thing of value which any such person, firm, corporation or associ ation may desire to purchase within the State of North Carolina."

Taft's Atlanta Speech. The speech made by President-elect Taft at Atlanta, outlining his policy for building up a strong Republican party In the South, has attracted rcuch attention here among the mem bers of all parties. It Is the general opinion that Mr. Taft has outlined a policy that will be effective in pro ducing very substantial results. The Washington papers havs not' only published full reports of tbe 6pecch, but also have commented upon the same. An Indication of now tbo Pb estimated by the Washington newspapers is shown very forcefully by tbe headlines used. Among them are the follow l,ns "Only Men of Character and Abil- lty to Fill Federal Offices la the Appointments Simply to Get Convention Votes." "No More Professional Politicians to be Appointed to Office." "Party Not to be Run to Get Dle- gates from the South to Conven- tions." Tne general opinion Is that Mr. Taft has correctly dlagnosel the trouble with the Republican party in toe south, and that ho will apply the correct remedy. It has been frequently said within the last few days, with this policy of Mr. Taft's, that some of the Southern States will go Republican at the next election, or in the near future, and more than one Democrat ic Congressman is already feeling un easy In his seat.
