(Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C, Jan. 4, 1910. As announced several weeks ago In The Caucasian, the President did not cover the question of rate regulation in his annual message to Congress at the beginning of the session in De cember, because he had a commission composed of the Attorney-Generai and members of the Interstate Com merce Commission and other promi nent lawyers at work on a bill. The substance of that bill has already been made public, as published in The Caucasian about two weeks ago. Railroad Magnates Protest.

The IUli a it Goes to the 8mate An thorites the Preileat to Have Completed the Panama Canal and to Appoint a IHrrrtnr-Cieneral of the Canal and Canal Zone, Thus lKing Away With the Canal Com inlwion Will Have One Circuit Court in Zone. Washington, D. C. Jan. 5. With the Democrats fighting every Inch of the way, the Mann bill providing for the administration of the Panama Canal Zone and centralizing the gov ernment there In the President of the United States, passed the House to day by a vote of 119 to 102. The vote was along strict party lines. Representative Mann, author ,of the bill, claimed that precedent for delegation of such power in the ex ecutive was found in similar action by Democratic Congresses at the time of the Louisiana Purchase and again when Florida was ceded to the Unlt er States by Spain. Defending his party, Representative Harrison, of New York, said that disturbed inter national conditions made such action necessary, but that despotic govern ment in those territories was con tinued no longer than was necessary to establish loyal government. Speeches were made by Represen tatives Underwood of Alabama, Hard wick of Georgia, and others in op position to this action. A motion of Mr. Hardwick to strike out the sec tion entirely was lost by the close vote of 85 to 90. The bill, as it goes to the Senate, authorizes, the President to have com pleted the Panama Canal and to ap point a director-general of the canal and the Canal Zone, thus doing away with the Canal Commission. It in vests the judicial power of the zone in one circuit court and such inferior courts as the President may consti tute and allows appeal to the Su preme Court of the United States in civil cases Involving $5,000 and in criminal cases punishable by death or life imyiisonment. Trial by Jury is granted in all criminal prosecu tions for felony. Since the expiration of the Fifty eighth Congress there has been no act in terms authorizing the Government of the Canal Zone, but President Roosevelt continued in existence the civil government on the zone after the act of April 28, 1904, became ef fective automatically.

Observer Bureau, Congress Hall Hotel, Washington, D. C, Dec. 29. The Republican leaders are look ing to the South for Congressmen to take the place of Western Repub licans who insurge until they are out of the pale or Democrats that defeat Republicans. They see a fallow field in Dixie and will work it if they feel that such a step is necessary. The House of Representatives, as organ ized now, has 289 members, 219 Re publicans and 170 Democrats, with two vacancies which will be filled by Democrats, making a Republican ma jority of 47. Democrats that is ultra-enthusiastic ones hope to car ry the next House. They do not think that the Republicans can win with the Payne-Aldrlch tariff and Uncle Joe Cannon the issues. There fore, a very interesting question is: "What will North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia yield in the way of Republicans?" Those who do the figuring say that the Tar Heel State should add two to the three already here, Virginia one to its list, and Tennessee two, making four. Georgia, it is argued, may not elect a straightout Republican, but three or four Democrats can be relied on lor support for certain matters in a pinch. -The Real Situation in Dixie. it from one portion of the State to another section of the State.

Their hopes have vanished, and there are two reasons for this: First, President Taft has permitted organization Republicans or South ern States to dictate most of his ap pointments, or to queer the new ele ment, which is composed of recruits from the Democratic party, at the White House and the Aldrich-Can- non Congress has gven the Southern manufacturer the hot end of the ta riff poker.

A prac tical politician in th crowd aked: "How much U your enlhutS&vm good for?' The person to whom thl addressed replied: "My check for $500." "And yours?" said the man with the pencil." "The same." "And yours?" Three thousand dollars were rated inside of ten minutes. Republican enthusiasm ran high. Lukewarm Democrats took courage when they heard of Morehead's election. Hut the White House has humiliated Morehead the bualnes roan, the Ideal Republican judging from the Taft speech at Greensboro In 1906; Instead of giving him the glad hand, President Taft has made him fight at every turn in the road for his jutt dues. Morehead has won, but, every time, after a bitter contest. One InKtance in Many Tear. The election of Morehead was one of the most remarkable elections held In the South for many year. The negro had kept men In line for the local Democracy year after year. Hundreds of people who believe in the principles of the Republican par ty could not afford to vote their con victions until the black voter wai eliminated. Twelve years ago North Carolina passed an amendment to 1U Constitution, disfranchising the illit erate negro, and since that time po litical contests have been between white men. The colored man has not participated to any significant ex tent. Therefore, the Independent spirit among the citizenry has In creased. The Republican victory In the Fifth District, resulting In More head's election, was the first one of the kind South of the Potomac River. Grant, an old-line Republican, defeat ed Crawford In the Tenth, but he did it by beating the bushes and driving in mountain Republicans who had grown gray in the faith. Had the byways and hedges of Burke, Madl son, Mitchell, and Yancey been work ed as those of Wilkes, by Cowles. and Henderson and others, by Grant, the majority of Webb might have been reduced by 2,000, or perhaps swept away. The gains of Grant and Cowles came largely from Republican precincts, but those of Morehead from Democratic. The very Indepen dence that President Taft encourag ed in his famous brick-bat speech asserted itself. One More Man in Virginia. Although the Republicans of VIr glnia made a poor showing In the Gubernatorial election this year, they are going to try to capture the Fifth Congressional District next fall. The Parsons-Saunders contest may have something to do with the coming fight. If the Republican is seated, and he thinks that he will be, some green-back will be put in Virginia It has been said here frequently that many Virginians who have loyally supported the nominees of the Dem ocratlc party are tired of It, but they have nowhere to turn. Two. and even four years ago, one heard muoh talk of Republican gains In Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, but recently it has almost ceased. South ern Democratic leaders say that the Republicans will get a back-set In North Carolina, Tennessee .and Ken tucky in 1910. Cowles, It is argued, will be the only Republican returned from the Old North State, and Slemp from Virginia. That Charlotte Fund. In Charlotte, where the hurried campaign fund was raised, the man ufacturers have lost their political eeal, not because of any change In local conditions, but the apparent change in Mr. Taft. At present the talk there is of an Independent, who would represent the manufacturing interests of the District. This, how ever, may not result In anything tan eible. To President Taft credit for this Indifferent state of affairs is due. To him he Democratic organization nwes a vote of thanks. Men who stood willing to take the leap have unelrded their loins and gone back tn the eamn of their fathers. At the very moment when they were ready to make the spring they got a cold deal from the President. This is the Information that comes to Washington, and what is true of North Carolina ls true of Tennessee and other Southern States. Airraid of HU Work.
