America today discards tho "Teddy
Bear" for the "Hilly 'Poum."
The "big stick" also glveB place to
tho "big boot.' mo latter win ue
lima conspicuous but probably mure
effective.
Don't lmaglno that because the
street paving has been voted by a V
to I majority that there la no more
boosting to be done. 1 lie street
paving work, soon to be commenced,
only gives a substantial foundation
for boosting for new Industries and
other needed enterprises.
By an unuBual combination of cir
cumstances, tales are remarkubly
high this year. Yet, If the money Is
Judiciously spent It will very soon
go Into circulation again right among
the peoplo who are now paying It in,
and we will have somo substantial
roads and other - public improve
ments besides, thus benefitting every
body. '
Since we have a new ex-presldont
today the question will again arise
"what shall, we do with our retired
chief executives." A friend sug
gests that all retiring presidents be
made U. S. senators at large, and en.
dow them with life terms unless re
moved for cause. Thus tho country
would continue to receive the bone
flLs of their wisdom and experience,
and then they would not have to con
nect themselves with some big cor
poration In order te secure an In
come for the remainder of their
lives.
Up to less than GO years ago the
annual expenditures of the United
States government amounted to nol
over one dollar per capita of the
country's population. Of late extrav
agance has become so rife that the
annual expenditures amount to be
tween 1 14 and $15 por capita, al
though In the meantime our popula
tion has- also enormously Increased.
No wonder the treasury deficit Is like
ly to reach $150,000,000 this year,
probably necessitating further gov
ernment bond issues. Muny people
believe that the high financiers huvc
purpoHoly manipulated alTalrs so as
to bring about this condition und
thus prevent any revision of the tar
iff, except where such rovlsron Is up
ward. In striking contrast with tho re
markably lino weather which prevail
ed inrougnou-i mo country on elec
tion day lust November, today wit
nessed a prevalence of storms, which
In Washington, D. C, partook' of the
naturo of a blizzard. This again
brings forcibly to mind the need for
changing Inauguration day to some
date 60 or 90 days later In tho Ben
son, and also extending the "short
session" of Congress up to that time.
It has heretofore been suggested that
Inaugural day bo made April 30, the
date on which Washington first took
the presidential chair. Qood weather
can ncurty always be expected at thut
tlruo, and congress would have about
two moivths moro time In which to
complete Its - work. Hundreds of
cases of grip and pneumonia will
doubtless result front today's expos
ure In Washington and many deaths
will follow.
As usual, Tho Hevlew is "there
with the goods" and todny gives Its
readers full reports of the Inaugura
tion of President Toft, which occur
red In Washington, I). 0., at noon to
day. Complete sumtunrles of the ad
dresses of Taft and Hliermun are nl
so given, as well as a full quota of
other general nnd local news. On
the first day of this month the Dully
Hevlew entered uiion the 12th yeur of
Its career, a bigger and better news
paper than ever ltefore. It has done
the heavy pioneer work In this field
and now hna the satisfaction of see
ing this city and county on a firmer
foundation, and with brighter pros
pects for growth and advancement
than ever beforo. For years The
Hevlew bus been tho leading news
paper In this lleld, and each yonr It
ban Increased Its lead In circulation
and Inlluence until It Is geuerally
recognizee; ns the only real news
paper published In Douglas county.
It covers fully both tho locnl and gen
eral pews of Interest In a thorouehly
rellahke niauncr, and such no other
paper even attempts to do. Always
loyal to the advancement of our city
and county The Hevlew enjoys a rlr
culatlon exceeding that of all the
other psiters In tho county nnd it
growth continues unabated. The rea
son Is easy to nee we give the best
service to both readers und advertis
ers, and "having the habit'' we expect
to keep It up.

WASHINGTON, D. C, March 4.
In his Inaugural address today Presi
dent Taft said, In part:
I have had the honor to be one
of tho advisers of my distinguished
predecessor, and. as such, to hold up
his hands In the reforms ho has lul-
litttil. I should bo untrue to my
self, to my promises and -to the dec
larations of the party platform upon
which I was elected to oltlco, If I did
not make tho maintenance and en
forcement of those reforms a mo4t
Important feature of my administra
tion. Thoy wcro directed to the sup
pression of the lawlessness und
abuses of power of the great com
binations of capital Invested In rail
roads and In Industrial enterprises
carrying on Interstate commerce. The
stops which my predecessor took nnd
the legislation passed on his recom
mendation have accomplished much,
have caused n general halt In tho vi
cious pollclos which created popular
alarm, and have brought about. In
the business affected, a much higher
rcgnrd for existing Inw.
To render tho reforms lasting.
howevor, and to Bectiro at the same
tlmo freedom from alurin on the part
of those pursuing proper and pro
gressive business methods, further
legislative and executlvo notion .are
needed. Relief for the railroads from
certain restrictions of tho anti-trust
law havo been urged by my predeces
sor and will be urged by me. On the
other hand, tho administration Is
pledged to legislation looking to a
proiter federal supervision and re
striction to prevent excesslvo-lssue of
bonds and stocks by compumes own-
ng nnd operating interstate com
merce railroads.
1 hopo to he able to submit, at
tho first regular session of the In
coming Congress, in Doeonilter next,
dctlntta suggestions in restect to the
needed amendments to the nntl-trust
nnd the Interstate commerce Inw, and
the changes required in the executive
deitartments concerned In their en
forcement.
Kxtrn HchMou of Congress.
A matter of most pressing imitort
ance is the revision of the tariff. In
accordance with -the promises of the
platform tiMtn which 1 was elected
I shall call Congress Into extra ses
sion, to meet on the 15th day of
Mnrch, In order that consideration
may be at once given to A bill revis
ing the Dlngley act.
Aimy mihI Xnvy.
We should have an army so organ
Ized. and po otUcered, as to be capable
In tlmo of emergency. In lo-operation
with tho National Ml lit In. and under
the provisions of a proper national
volunteer law. rapidly to expand into
s loree sultlclout to resist all proh
able Invasion from nbrond and to fur
nish a respectable cxpcditiunary
force. If necessary. In the mainten
ance of our traditional American pol
Icy which beors the name of Presi
dent Monroe.
What has been said of the army
may he anirnted in even a more em
phndc way of the navy. A modern
navy cannot be Improvised. It must
bo built and In existence when th
emergency arises which calls lor Its
use and oeratlon. My distinguished
predecessor has In ntnny speeches
and mosKiiKC! set out with great force
and striking language tho necesJlty
for malntnlnglitg a strong navy com
mensurate with the coast Hit,0, the
governmental resources and the for
eign iratie oi our nation: and I wish
to reiterate all the reasons which he
lilts' presented 1r( (firor of the policy
of maintaining stfnng navy as the
best conservator or. our peace witn
other nations and the beit means of
securing resnect for the assertion of
our rights, the defence of our In
terests and the exercise of our In
fluence In International affairs.
Peace, If Possible; If Not
We favor every Instrumentality,
like that of The Hague Tribunal and
arbitration treaties made with a view
to its use In all International con
troversies. In order to maintain peace
and to avoid war. But we should bo
blind to existing conditions, and
should allow ourselves to become
too I It h Idealists, If we did not real
ise that with all tho nations of the
world armed and prepared for war,
wo must be ourselves In ay similar
condition, In order to provent other
nations from taking advantage of us
and of our Inability to defend our In
terests and assert our rights with a
strong hand. In the International
controversies that are likely to arise
In tho Orient, growing out of the
question of tho open door and other
Issues, tho United States can main
tain her Interests intact and can se
cure respect for her Just demands
Sho will not bo able to do bo, how-
over. If it Is understood that she
never Intends to back up her asser
tion of right and her defense of her
interests by anything but ntero verbal
protest and diplomatic note.
AttilutV Toward Asiatics.
The admission of Asiatic Immi
grants who can not be amalgamated
with our population has been made
tho subject either of prohibitory
clauses in our treaties and statutes,
or of strict administrative regulation
scoured by diplomatic negotiation. I
sincerely hope that we may continue
to minimize the evils likely to arise
from such immigration with unnec
essary friction and by mutual con
cessions between self-respecting gov
ernments. Meantime, we must take
every precaution to prevent, or, fail
ing that, to punish outbursts of race
reeling among our people against for
eigners of whntever nationality who-
have by our grant a treaty right to
pursue lawful business here and to
bo protected against lawless assault
or Injury.
This leads me to point out a seri
ous defect in tho present federal Ju
risdiction which ought to be remedied
at once. Having assured to other
countries by treaty the protection of
our laws for Etich of their subjects or
citizens ns wo permit to come within
our Jurisdiction, we now leave to a
state or a city, not under the control
of 'the federal government, the duty
of performing our International obli
gations In this respect. By proper
legislation wo may, and ought to,
place In the hands of the federal ex
ecutive tho menns of enforcing the
treaty rights of such aliens In the
courts of tho federal government. It
puts our government In a pusillani
mous position to make definite en
gagements by nn explanation that the
duty to keep them Is In States or
cities, not within our control. If wo
would promise, we must put our
selves in a position to perform our
promise. Wo cannot permit tho pos
sible failure of Justice due to local
prejudice In any Statu or municipal
government to expose us to the risk
of a war which might be avoided If
federal Jurisdiction was asserted by
sultublo legislation by Congress and
carried out by proper proceedings In
stituted by tho executive in the courts
of the national government.
Postal Savings Rank.
Tho incoming Congress should
promptly fulfill tho promise of the
Republican platform and pnss a prop
er postal savings bank bill. It will
not bo unwise or excessive paternal
ism. Tho promise to repay by the
government will furnish an Induce
ment to saving deposit which private
enterprise cannot supply, nnd nt such
a low rate of interest ns not to with
draw custom from existing banks.
It will substantially Increaso the
funds available for Investment as
capital In useful enterprises. It will
furnish tho absolute security which
makes tho proposed scheme of gov
ernment guaranty of deposits so al
luring, without its pernicloiiB results.
Negri! curutlon.
White. the 15th Amendment hns
not beeu generally observed In the
pnst. It ought to bo observed, and the
tendency of southern legislation to
dny Is toward the enactment of elec
toral qualifications which shnll
sipiaro with that amendment. The
domination of nn Ignorant, Irrespons
ible element can be prevented by con
stitutional laws which shall exclude
from voting both negroes nnd whites
not having educnllon or other quali
fications thought to bo necessnry for
a proper electorate. The danger of
the control of nn ignorant electorate
has therefore passed. With this
change, the Interest which many of
the Southern white rltlzer.s tuse in
tho welfnro of the negroes hns in
creased. The colored men must base
their hope on the results of their own
industry, self-restraint, thrift and
business succcsB, as well as upon the
aid nnd comfort and sympathy which
they may receive from their white
neighbors of tho south. What re
mains Is the 15th Amendment to the
Cointltutlon and the right to have
statutes of States specifying qualifi
cations for electors subjected to the
lest of compliance with thnt amend
ment. This Is a great protection to
the negro. It never will be repeated,
nnd It never ought to be repealed.
If It hnd not been passed, It might
lie dttllcutt now to adopt It; but with
it In our fundamental law, tho policy
of southern legislation must and will
tend to obey It, and so long as the
statutes of tho Stntes meet tho test
of this amendment and are not oth
erwise In conflict with the constlln
llon and lawn of the United States, It
Is not the disposition or within the
province of the federal government
to Interfere with -the regulation by
southern states of their domestic af
fnlrs. There Is in the south a stronger
feeling than ever among the Intelli
gent, well-to-do and Influential ele
ment In favor of the Industrial edu-cn-tlon
of the negro and the encour
agement of the race to make them
selves useful members of the com
munity. The progress which the
I negro haj made. In tiid last 50 years
! front slavery, wEed Its statistics are
reviewed, are marvelous, and it fur
nishes every reason to hope that in
the next 26 yeara a still greater im
provement in bis condition sb a pro
ductive member of society, on the
farm, and In the shop and In other
occupations, may come. The negroce
are now Americans. Their ancestors
canto hero years ago against their
will, and this Is their only country
and their only flag. They havo
'shown themselves auxlouB to live for
It and to die for it. Encountering
the race feeling against thorn, sub
1 Jected at times to cruel Injustice
I growing cut of It, thoy may well
I have our profound sympathy and aid
; In the struggle they are making. Wo
are charged with the sacred duty of
I making their path as smooth and
easy as we can. Any recognition of
their distinguished men, any appnlnt-
mont to office from among their num
iber, te properly taken as an encour
agement and an appreciation of their
J progress.
But It may well admit of doubt
whether an appointment of one of
Ihelr number to a locul office In a
community in which the race feeling
Is bo strong as to Interfere with the
ease and facility with which the locnl
government business can be done by
tho appointee, is or sufficient benoflt
by way cf encouragement to the race
to outweigh -the recurrence and in
crease of race feeling which such an
appointment is likely to engender.
Therefore, the executive, in recogniz
ing the negro raco by appointments,
must exercise a careful discretion not
thereby to do It more harm than
good. t
Safety Devices.
I am strongly convinced that the
government should make Itself aa
responsible to employes injured in Its
employ as an Interstate railway cor
poration is made responsible by fed
eral law to Us employes; and I shall
be glad, whenever any additional
reasonable safety device can be In
vented to reduce the loss of life and
limb among railway employes, to
urge Congress to require Its adoption
by Interstate railways.
Labor Injunctions.
Another labor question hns arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That is in respect to
the power of tho federal courts to
Issue Injunctions In Industrial dis
putes. As to that my convictions are
fixed. Take away from courts, if it
could be taken away, tho power to
Issue injunctions in Inbor disputes,
and It would create a privileged clit-as
among the Inborers and save the law
less among their number- from a
