Powell was killed early Sunday

of murder. There were no eye-fitnesses,

a chain of circumstantial evidence to

MR. TAFT'S APPEAL

ADDRESSES REPUBLICAN
CLUBS.
Fx-Iresident Roosevelt's Courage
and DiplomacyHis Actions While
in Home Are Generally Upheld
His Speeches Have Been Applauded
in America as Well as AH Over the
Civilized World A Delegation of
Prominent Business Men Told to
See the Machine Boss The Dele
gation Surprised and Disgusted.
(Special to The Caucasian.)
Washington, D. C, April 11.
President Taft made a notable speech
before the annual meeting of the In
terstate Republican Clubs held here
on last Saturday night.
It had been announced that the
President would make a keynote
speech for opening a campaign to
elect a Republican Congress. In his
opening remarks, the President said
that this announcement was a mis
take; that a keynote speech for the
campaign would have to be made af
ter Congress adjourned, for such a
speech would have to be based upon
the record which Congress had made
in redeeming the pledges made by
the party in the last campaign. He
said that if the party kept its pledges
it would win; if it did not, it would
not win.
Who Are True Republicans?
Then turning to the Congressmen
and Senators seated at the banquet
table around him, he said to them
that they must prove within the next
few weeks who were Republican and
who were not Republican. He said
that he would not himself undertake
to read any one out of the party, but
that those who failed to vote to carry
out the party's pledges would read
themselves out of the party.
His speech was an appeal to the
members, of Congress, whether regu-
ars or insurgents, to redeem party
pledges so as to enable the party to
successfully appeal to the voters of
the country for endorsement. The
speech was enthusiastically received
and he was given a great ovation.
One of the leading insurgents in
Congress said to-day that the Presi
dent's speech not only showed that
he did not want to read them out of
the party, but that he would endorse
their position if they stood for party
pledges, and would condemn the reg
ulars or reactionaries if they failed
to do likewise. To-day, a statement,!
was given out from the so-called in
surgents to the effect that they could
be depended upon to vote for and
support every measure recommend
ed by the President for carrying out
the campaign pledges, and they pre
dicted that a number of the so-called
regulars, who they say are in fact re
actionaries, would try to defeat such
measures, and that therefore the
resident would have to read these
so-called regulars out of the party
after Congress adjourned if they pre
vented the passage of any of the Taft
reform measures.
Roosevelt's Courage and Diplomacy.
The action of President Roosevelt
n refusing to call upon the Pope
under the conditions prescribing his
other calls and actions while in
Rome, has not only attracted the at
tention of the whole world and been
the subject of comment in everv
and, but has been the overshadow
ng question of interest in the na
tional capital. ,
The general opinion here, as else
where, is that the Pope was badly
advised, and everywhere President
Roosevelt's course has been general-
y approved. The President's state;
ment following the unfortunate inci
dent deprecating the bitter contro
versy that might grow therefrom and
in making an appeal for religious tol
erance has struck a responsive chord
with Catholics as well as Protest
ants.
The prompt and courageous man
ner in which President Roosevelt
met this most delicate situation in
Rome has served to emphasize his
action in the speech at Khartum in
boldly advising the natives not to be
too hasty in attempting to change
their present governmental condi
tions, and also his still more bolder
speech at the Egyptian University in
Cairo in denouncing the action of the
Egytian Nationalists in recently as
sassinatmg their Prime Minister.
These speeches of Colonel Roosevelt
have been applauded In America as
well as over the civilized world gen
erally, and have all served to revive
to an acute stage the discussion of
the future political course of the
President when he returns to the
United States.
See the Patronage Machine Boss.
It is reported here that a few days
ago a delegation of prominent North
Carolina business men of a certain
thriving city came to Washington
and called upon one of the Depart
ments of the Government to present
a matter of no little Interest to the
(people of their town and commun
Ity. Whereupon, it waa suggested to
them by a certain government official
that they had txstter see the referee
of North Carolina about the matter
and get hU approval.
It Is reported that on member of
this delegation, who haB always
been a Democrat, but who had voted
for Taft at the last election, express
ed himself in a vigorous manner af
terwards to th effect that he had
voted for Taft. not only because he
believed general that the Republi
can policies were best for the State
and the country, but especially be
cause the President had announced
that the old rotten referee system
of the South should be abolished and
that the wishes of the people In each
community should be respected by
the administration.
It is said that this citizen not only
expressed his surprise and disgust,
but also declared that he would
never see the patronage machine
boss about this matter or anything
else
ASKS SWEEPING IXQUIKV.
Governor Hngl.es Says Demand of
Public is Irresistible.
Albany, N. Y., April 11. Declar
ing that the revelations in the recent
AlldB-Conger bribery inquiry and the
facts brought out in the insurance
Investigation by Superintendent of
Insurance Hotchkiss, have caused
every honest citizen to tingle with
shame and Indignation and have
made irresistible the demand that
every proper means should be em
ployed to purge and purify, Govern
or Hughes sent a special message to
the Legislature tonight recommend
ing "an immediate, impartial, thor
ough and unsparing investigation
into legislative practices and proced
ure and into the use of corrupt or
improper means for the promotion
or defeat of legislation."
The action of New York's Repub
lican Governor in asking "a thor
ough and unsparing investigauon"
is being favorably commented on in
the public press, as opposed to x.Ze
secret investigation in Mississippi.
CONGRESSMAN MOREHEAD'S
BILL.
Guilford County People Heartily En
dorse His Bill for an Appropriation
for the Guilford Battle-Ground.
Greensboro Record.
Representative Morehead has in
troduced a bill in the House appro
priating $25,000 for the erection of
a mouument to ihe memory of Gen.
Greene and others who participated
in the last fight at Guilford Battle
Ground; also $25,000 for the gen
eral betterment and improvement of
the grounds. President Morehead,
of the Battle Ground Company, says
he has strong hopes that the meas
ure will pass. Congressman More
head is not one to rush for the band
wagon;" he introduced the bill the
other day and the first information
concerning his action came this
morning to President Morehead, a
copy of the bill, which has been
printed being sent to him.
The passage of this bill, should he
succeed in getting it through, will
stand as a monument to his memory
and be worth more than repeated
election to the House.
GLASS TRUST INDICTED.
Government Takes Action Against
Imperial Window Glass Co.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 7. The Im
perial Window Glass Company, a cor
poration of West Virginian birth,
which lacks but one week of being
a year old, and sixteen officials and
directors, were indicted by a special
Federal grand jury here late to-day
on three counts:
(1) Conpiracy in the restraint of
the hand blown window glass trade
in the United States.
(2) Engagement in illegal compe
tition.
(3) Attempt to monopolize inter
state trade.
The Millers Complain.
Fifty millers from all parts of the
State met at Greensboro, N. C,
March 19th and organized the North
Carolina Millers' Association, and it
was proposed to meet again May
24th, at the same place when it is
thought that a majority of the 450
millers In this State will be presefat.
After transacting routine business
the Association paid its respect to
Democratic good government by
adopting resolutions condemning the
present administration of the law re
lating to inspection of feeds tuffs and
a committee was appointed to wait
upon the officials of the Agricultural
Department of the State and have
the grievances removed. They com
plain, among other -things, against
the administration of the law requir

Jackson, Miss, April 7. The Sen
atorial investigation into the bribery
scandal was continued until a late
hour to-night. The star witness was
the 'mysterious woman." Mrs. C. J.
Neil, who swears that she arranged
the meeting between Senator Bilbo
and Delancy. When asked her busi
ness, she replied: "Book-keeping,
handling real estate and selling Mis
sissippi Democratic Senators." She
described how she introduced Bilbo
to Delaney; how the latter told her
to feel out "the weak legislators,"
and see if they could "be reached."
Senators Banks and Tucker made
frantic efforts to lay hands upon one
another during the Senatorial brib
ery investigation late to-day, and a
personal encounter between the an
gry, shouting men was only averted
by strenuous work on the part of
fellow-Senators. Tucker, who is coun
sel for Senator Bilbo, angered by the
use of the shorter and uglier word,
rushed at Banks. Baraks, white with
anger, rushed towards Tucker. Oth
er Senators intervened and roughly
pulled the men apart.
The quarrel came suddenly and
unexpectedly. I. C. Dulaney. charg
ed by Senator Bilbo with having paid
him a bribe, had been on the stand.
He had denied the charge flatly and
was be'Mfcross-examined by Senator
Tucker of counsel for Senator Bilbo.
Warrants were issued from the
sheriff's office to-day for the arrest
of "Private" John Allen, of Tupelo
County; Representaive Charles Do-
herty, of Tunica County; State Sen
ator Charles P. Engle, of Natchez;
Hon. Sam Ham, of Clarksdale. and
Hon. T. G. James, of Sharkey, the
two last named being prominent Del
ta planters, on the charge of poker
playing. The fact that they all par
ticipated in gambling came out dur-
ng the hearing in the bribery
charges.
CASE RE-ASSIGNED.
American Tobacco and Standard Oil
Suits to Be Re-argued.
Washington, D. C, April 11. Un
willing at this time to render de
cisions in the dissolution suits against
the Standard Oil and the so-called
Tobacco Trust," the Supreme Court
of the United States to-day ordered
a re-argument of these cases. This
postpones the final disposition of the
application of the Sherman Anti-
Trust Law to these corporations for
weeks and probably utnil after next
October. The present term will end
about June 1st.
It is believed the court will not
advance the cases for re-argument
until President Taft has been given
ample time to fill the vacancy creat
ed by the death of Justice Brewer.
Educate the Boys and the Democratic
Party Will Grow Out of Existence.
Clinton News-Dispatch.
The News and Observer says the
boys are being educated and that's
the reason the Democratic party
grows in North Carolina." But, say,
Josephus, why didn't you tell us
which way the Democratic party is
growing in North Carolina? Why
didn't you tell us that It has grown
from a majority of 60,000 in 1900
down to 20,000 In 1908, and this, too,
during a period when there was more
schools and better schools than was
ever known before In the history of
the State. It will not take long at the
present rate for the Democratic party
to grow clean out of existence. Yes,
educate the boys and the Democratic
party will soon go out of business.
The Trusts Not Skeered."
The Republicans are making it
warm for the trusts up North, but
the Democrats down here in North
Carolina won't even make an at
tempt to bring suit against the
trusts. You see, beloved, that the
Democrats think they can play a
bluff game by having Josephus to
keep up a whine about the trusts.
but the trusts know that they are
in no danger as long as the Demo
crats stay in control. The trusts are
not a bit "skeered." Clinton News-
Dispatch.
Some Say Morehead and Some Say

Lincolnton Times.
Who will be the next Republican
State Chairman? seems to be the big
question. Some say Holton and some
say Morehead. He should be a man
under whom all will work harmo
niously for the growth of the party.

for hi party and his friend. John
Motley Morehead now called Honett
Mot twenty-four hours a day. H
is busy by day, gatherlcg names,
sending out campaign literature and
putting balm on sore places. He be
lieves in his State and the G. O V.
To-day, when I made my regular call.
I found him absorbed in errluut
thought
"A penny for your thoughts, Gris!"
I said.
"They are orth more, but l will
give them to you for nothing. The
success of Re-publican party means
bread and meat to me and alt my
friends. I do not mean that we will
get Federal pie. for that never enters
my head, except for the other fellow.
1 am thinking of business. The ta
riff and other good policies makes
prosperous times."
"Then you believe that buslne
and politics are bed-fellos?"
"Business and politics are said not
to mix. but it is a fact that the b?st
politics Is. after all. business.
"The old saying came from days
that are fast going forever when a
man was hated and shunned because
he espoused Republican principles.
"To-day our people are more In
tensely Interested in protection than
ever before and are studying It from
a strictly economical standpoint.
"A protection on lumber means the
broadening of our industries and the
utilizing of our mountain trees with
their millions of feet of the finest
timber grown, and this means the
building of railroads into these un
developed portions of the State.
"A tariff on leather means better
prices for our cattle and hides and
for our bark and extracts used for
tanning and the upbuilding of an al
ready great tanning Industry.
Protection What it Means.
"Protection to every product of
field and farm means not only that
webecome Increased producers but
also that our young meu will return
to the farm and reap the profits
which are going to thG producer.
"A tariff on wool will teach us that
we can raise tne best wool in the
country and reap large profits from
the mutton.
"A bounty on sugar will teach us
that our eastern lands are most ex
cellent for sugar-cane growing.
"And so we might enumerate many
of our present and possible indus
tries.
"High prices will not suit the man
who is altogether a consumer but not
only are there more producers in a
broad sense, but also most of the con
sumers may become at least, in part,
producers.
"The farmers are in every way in
the best condition In which they have
ever been, and our people are study
ing the business side of politics and
must be reckoned with by those who
cry that we demand lormer low
prices.
"It is going to prove a very poor
argument to the producer that his
prices are too high and that thoy
should be cut.
"The manufacturer will say that
he cannot cut his prices with raw ma
terial and labor at their present fig
ures.
"The merchant will tell you that
he cannot lower his prices with the
producer and manufacturer holding
up his figures and with taxes and
help costing him what it does.
"So to come to a lower basis all
round, the farmer must take less for
his produce and consequently pay the
farm hand less.
"The farm hand will leave the
field and go to the factory, but the
manufacturer will have a narrower
market for his goods and must take
less and pay his hands less.
"In the meantime, the products of
the farm have decreased and become
scarce and consequently bring more
and the factory hand regrets he sold
his horse and quit the farm.
'After all, our efforts to reduce
prices we have gotten back to the
same point.
The Remedy.
"Then what Is the remedy in this
endless chain?
"Produce more, consume less; sell
more and buy less.
"Be more economical in govern
ment expenses of State, county, and
town and, above all. at home.
"Turn every blade of grass Into
beef, milk, butter, and cheese,
"Turn every scrap from the table
into chickens and eggs.
"Turn every bit of waste Into pork
and raise the beans.
"Lastly, turn every grafting dema
gogue in a political offlce out to make
an honest living so that he will not
have the time to tell, nor we the
leisure to hear, how the whole coun
try Is going to damnation.
"This is my doctrine."
This is the sort of gospel that Is
preached at and from Representative
Morehead' office.
The condition of Senator Daniel
has so far improved as to permit his
removal to his home in Lynchburg.
