The Policies of President TafL The following are the policies of President Taft as outlined in his in augural address : Revision of the tariff, by special session of Congress which he will call to meet March 15, on a protective basis, with maximum and minimum rates to be used in negotiating with countries that discriminate against the United States Legislation to reinforce and sys tematize the laws for- regulation of railroad rates and corporations. Amendment of the Anti-trust laws so that business men can be "assured of that measure of stability and cer tainty in respect to those things that may be done and those that are pro hibited, which is essential to the life and growth of all business." More revenue must be raised to meet the increased cost of Govern ment and prevent a threatened de ficit. If this cannot be secured by new tariff rates, he recommends a graduated inheritance tax.

No repeal of Fifteenth Amendment, but fair election laws that will provide against the rule of ignorance, but at the same time will be enforced against white and black with equal justice. Recognition of the colored voters, but no appointments of negroes to office where they will stir up race prejudice to an extent that will im pair their effectiveness and cause more harm than good to the race. Laws to protect employes and give the workingman justice. Courts to retain the power of in junction; but a new law regarding the issue of temporary injunctions so as to prevent any abuse of that power.

From His Inaugural Address- "I look forward with hope to in creasing the already good feeling between the South and the other sections of the country. "While the Fifteenth Amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of Southern legis lators to-day is toward the enact ment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amend ment. Of course, the mere adoption of a constitutional law is only one step in the right direction. , It most be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. Hence it is clear to all that the domination of n ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from vot ing both fcegroes and whites ndt having education or other qualifica tions thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. "There was a time when North erners who sympathized with the negro in his necessary struggle for better conditions sought to give him the suffrage as a protection and to enforce its exercise against the pre vailing influence of the South. The movement proved to be a failure. What remains is the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution and the rightto have statutes of States specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance with that amendment. This is a great protection to the negro. It never will be repealed, and it never ought to be repealed. "If it had not been passed, it miirht be difficult now to adopt it: but with it in our fundamental law the policy of Southern legislation must and will tend to odey it, and so long as the statutes of the States meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the Constitution and laws of the United States, it is not the disposi tion! or within the province of the Federel Government to interfere with the regulation by Southern States of their domestis affairs. "The negroes are now Americans. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recogni tion of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an apprecia tion of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. "But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so wide spread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee is of suf ficient benefit by way of encourage ment to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feel ing which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore, the Executive in recognizing the negro race by appointment must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand, we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the in terest of individual political ambi tion." ... IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. Daring the Spanish-American War many of oar soldiers suffered severely from cramp in the stomach and bowels, due in most cases to the change of cli mate and the water they were obliged to drink. Mr. Geo. A. Lake, of Dennison, Tex as, gives an interesting account of how he came to the relief of some of the men in his regiment : " Just as I was start ing for the war," says Mr. Lake, "Mr. Mr. Davis gave me a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. I used it in oar troop at damp Mobrey for cramps and dysentery among the men. It took finely and lots of the boys of Troop L, 1st Tex. Oav. U. O. V , will never forget the name of Sloan's Liniment. One case in particu lar was oar bugler, Fred Orm&ley ; he was cramped until he could hardly stand it. I gave him a dose of Sloan's Lini ment and in five minutes he was up and ready to go on with the troop." Every druggist carries Sloan's Lini ment in stock. Yon can get in 25c, 50c, or $1 00 size bottles. It's a good thing thing to have in the hoose for rheuma tism,, toothache, sore throat, asthma and any pain or stiffness. One More Fool Act of Newman's. Salisbury Cor., Charlotte Observer, 17th. Some excitement was orentaA at the Sothern's passenger station this morning Detween 1 and 2 o'clock when Mr. Walter George Newman, who had just driven in from Gold Hill accompanied by Mrs. Newman, went to the station to catch a train for New York, and seated behind a spirited horse, deliberately drove under the shed and down its full length to the telegraph office, then turned around and drove back, the animal making a big noise with his high stepping on the cement flooring and the top of the buggy tingling the numerous incandescent electric bulbs. Policeman Williams imme diately arrested Mr. Newman and stated that he would have to put up a $20 bond. He said he would not do it and the officer said he would hold the team as security. Mr. and Mrs. Newman caught their train and left the turnout in possession of the officer who put it up at Fisher Brothers stables. Mr. Newman sent word to his local attorney to look after the matter and he put up the required bond this morning and had the team taken to Harper Brothers stables, where Mr. New keeps his stock quartered. Senator Simmons said Saturday that he has no ambition whatever to be judge of the eastern district, and says there is no ground in the world for the rumor to the effect that he would receive the appointment, and would not accept it if tendered.
