THE PRESIDENT TO THE NATION

THE, PRESIDENT TO THE NATION
Very few inaugural addresses have
been scanned with more interest than
Will be that with which the new pres
dent began his administration. II
deserves and will support the careful
scrutiny of his countrymen. II is in
teresting and significant both for
what 1t contains and for what it does
not contain, for what 1t Is and for
what il is not. for its matter and for
Its manner. says the Chicago Tribune.
BY its perusal the people will dis
Germ more clearly than ever that a
very different man from the preced-
ing president is now the chief magis
trate of the nation and that a veTy
different administration from his pre-
decessor's has begun.
During the campaign Mr.. Taft was
frequently spoken Of and. in cities, at
least, placarded as 1.-THE business
mans" candidate. His inaugural ad-
dress substantially bears out the
claim. II is an assurance that one Of
the main considerations of the pres
emit administration will be the careful
adjustment OF the new legislation 10
the business activities of the nation
10 the end that proper and progress
sive methods" may be safeguarded
and encouraged, rights and wrongs
more definitely ascertained, and en-
ferprise assured of the necessary Sc
curity and freedom which IL can Ell
Joy only when reform has reached
the stage OF complete definition.
The utterance OF the new president
upon regulative legislation, upon
tariff revision, upon monetary reform
should and undoubtedly will estab-
lish the returning confidence of the
business world and inaugurate a
period OF renewed prosperity which.
as we believe. may prove sounder
and broader as well as greater than
any the nation has enjoyed.
At the same time the new presi-
dent takes pains to assure the people
that the greatly needed reforms ac-
complished under the leadership o.
Mr.. Roosevelt will not be abated
jct II his will prevails in the national
counsels. There is TO be no step back
ward in what are termed the Roose-
welt policies as their author, and to
maintain them and perfect them ne
pledges himself freely and unequivo-
cally.
Compared to the remarkable utter
ances OF Mr.. Roosevelt, the contrast
throws this administrative aspect of
the address into higher relief than II
the comparison were with the mesa
ages OF Mr.. Roosevelts predecessors.
But though there is a striking a5-
senoe OF the social and ethical gener-
allzations which Mr. Roosevelt made
so Influential. there Is no lack OF def
ni.e statement Of policy.
The new presidents thorough
knowledge of our foreign relations
and his enlightened sense of their
importance are factors not only ia
our own national economic and po-
litical welfare but In world politics
as well. And every thoughtful Amer
lean should read with especial caro-
what are perhaps the gravest pass
ages OF Mr.. Taft's first presidential
pfonouncement-n those which
urge the necessity OF adequate naval
and military armament.
In this as in other vital matters
Mr.. Taft is at one with Mr. Roose-
,elt, and 1t is not in the temper o;

the senate for the second time in re-
gard TO the allegations against him
in connection with Oregon lands, SEN
ator Tillman today made reply to the
utterances of Attorney General Bona

He quoted the portion of Mr.. Bona
parties statement of last Monday in
which the latter said that TilIman had
not told him of his desire to-,ob ain
some OF the lands in question, and
flatly contradicted the head Of the
department of justice. He declared
that he had been entirely frank with
MI Bonaparte and had fully explain
cd to him his interest In those lands.
He attributed the attorney generals
attitude to a desire to bolster up the

brought into the discussion because
Of a statement made by him regard
ing the investigation of the Dorr ease.
Mr.. Tillman said that MI Meyers Ell
fort to make it appear that the In
Quiry had been directed originally
against Dorr, was not based upon the
truth. He declared that, from the
first, the inquiry had not been direct
ed against him (Tillman) and not
against Dorr. Mr. Tillman was also
ooreful to bring out the fact that the
land which he attempted 10 get was
not government land at all. but land
granted as far back as 1868 under the
condition that it should be sold at
$3.50 per acre,
Mr.. Tillman read letter he had re-
cetvcd from Attorney General Bona
parte in response TO his verbal re-
quest made yesterday for Information
concerning the legal proceedings that
have been brought by the department
OF justice against the Southern Ore
gon company, which holds the 2,000.-
90G acres of timber land granted in
connection with the Coos Bay wagon
road.

of his demand for an investigation,
