JAPANESE PRESS
EULOGlZES TAFT
INAUGURAL UTTERANCES ARE
COMMENDED
NEWSPAPERS PRAISE STATES
MANLIKE VIEWS
Interesting Opinions Expressed by
Oriental Editors in Reviewing
Speech and Attitude Of New
President
IBy Associated press, ]

TOXIC, March 5.--The inaugural adj
dress of President Taft published here
yesterday is eVoking appreciatlVe
comments for the statesmanlike views
embodied in it. The press of Japan
joins in eulogizing Taft for his IN
augural utterances. The leading papers
praise editorially the new president s
proved qualifications as an admins
traitor. The Kokumin makes the fol-
lowing editorial comment:
"The address testifies to the states
manlike character of President Taft s
ideas. Regarding immigration his views
are ideal and exceedingly satisfactory
to the government and people OF
Japan
The Nichi Nichi prints the following
opinion:
There are two things in Taft's adj
dress which demand our attention.
These are tariff reform and immigra-
ton. Respecting the former, the for
BODIED reduction of rates promises trade
expansion for both countries.
"In regard to the latter, we are salts
fed that he has prepared steps to- sup
press anti-Japanism in America.
The Asahi says;
"None of the American presidents
has been unfriendly to Japan. but none
has possessed President Taft's per-
sonal knowledge of the Japanese peo-
pie.
"The result of his direct observation
has been especially noteworthy and
satisfactory. He urges legislation en-
abling federal government to enforce
the treaty rights of aliens and we are
convinced that the traditional rela-
tions between the two countries will
be greatly strengthened by Tafts ad-
ministration."
The Hochi comments as follows:
Roosevelt rendered invaluable SER
vice at the most critical moment of
Japans history. and we profoundly re-
greet his departure from the White
House, but we are rejoiced to find a
cause for consolation in the fact that
his policy is certain to be embodied in
the administration of his successor.
Taft has many friends among our
own politicians, for his friendliness has
already been manifested. A brilliant
future can be expected confidently in
the relations between the two coun-
tries"
The Jill and others papers comment
editorially i'm a similar strain and ex-
press great confidence in the growth
of amicable relations between the two
great neighbors of the Pacific.

kEN0vA'S BIG STEEL
PLANT IS FINISHED
Contractors Were Just "a
Days In Erecting the
Mandatory.

The buildings for Removals big
steel plant have been finished. Con.
tractors Taylor Il Robinson last
week turned the structures over to
the managers Of the steel plant, and
they were accepted. These struc-
lures cover acres Of ground and will
form the nucleus around which will
be built other factories, similar aud
dissimilar, which will make Kenova
one of the leading manufacturing
centers Of the state.
Taylor Il Robinson, who took the
contracts for this work, have made
rate of progress little less than re-
markable. They were exactly s4
days in erecting the buildings. The
work done in the construction of
the buildings represents an outlay
of many thousands of dollars--a
fact which will tend to illustrate
the magnitude OF the contract.
In orIer to accomplish this re-
suit the contractors have had to pre-
serve the best possible organization
OF their working forces, and it was
only by the observance Of strict
and intelligent system that they
were able to finish the work i'm go
short time.
Within an hour after the compa-
ny received the buildings from Fay
lor & Robinson representatives Of
the company began the work of in
stalling the machinery, several car
loads OF which had been standing on
the sidings at Kenova for week
awaiting the completion of the
buildings.
The work will be completed in
the shortest possible time, and the
big mills, employing 400 we'll paid
workmen, will be in operation.
In receiving the buildings from
the contractors the officials of the
steel company paid them a high
compliment upon the character Of
work done and upon the facility
with which they executed the enor-
nous contract.
