OrmoDd Fla, March Announcement was

this week that the start of races would be on
Tuesday, instead of Monday, owing TO a number
Of cars being delayed route. Several of the
machines that will take part in the contests ar
rived in Jacksonville last night and could not be
shipped here before tomorrow.
The 1O0-miIe race will be the chief attraction
on the opening day. Cedrino had his Fiat
Cyclone out on the beach for another tuning up
yesterday. and went a mile with the wind in 35
seconds and against the wind in 81 seconds. The
time was remarkably fast when il is taken into
consideration that the sand course is in
poor condition. II is covered with softer sand,
which leaves deep impression after machine

course in previous years. says that he never re

Destroyed the Osd RnWiiah Law AS
sumption that Union Labor Is e

(Trrom the Icmporia (Kan.l Gazette.
The simple fact is that no man has
done more to place union labor on q
sound, square, law-abiding, respected
footing than william H. Taft By his
decisions In labor cases. Both employ
ers and employed have acknowledged
the Justice Of his decisions and learned
to abide By them. and to-day there is
not an intelligent worker or fair.
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty as to lta
rights which had before prevented aud
gave It a standing which It has ever
since retained, ana which has proved
under his rulings, Secure against all
attack. The old assumption derived
from England, that union labor Is a
conspiracy, and that workers could be
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment ct their wEHl- was
swept away forever by Judge Taft 90
Far az the United stateS Is concerned,
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle, Judge
Taft's decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr. Taft was and Is labors' friend.
