that are hanging fire in The courts.
The matter altogether involves an
amount Of $4,000 to $4,000 to the
State Of South Carolina in back tax
es. II is not thought that the decis-
ION in the present case will affect the
several hundred thousand dollars IN
back taxes, but only those taxes which
were paid under protest, as IN the
Abbeville case. Other insurance cas-
es are now in the courts touching the
constitutionality of the recent lnsur-
ance act of the legislature. In these
cases Attorney T. Moultrie Mordecai,
Of Charleston, appeared recently be-
fore the supreme court. In the Ab-
beville case the we'll known attorney,
Jam H. Mcintosh, Of New York,
was associated. The Abbeville ease is
in the nature Of test Of the law.
The cause was originally heard be-
fore Judge R. ". Memminger, Of
Charleston. without jury. The tax
es altogether named in the complaint
of the company for back years total
more than $4,000, but the tax COM
planned of is the tax levied under an
act of the legislature giving each
county where business is done the
right to levy tax upon the premiums
collected.
Judge Memminger gave an exten J.
ed order in this case overruling the
demurrer and for judgment for the
plaintiff last year, and he is upheld
by the supreme court, the opinion be-

NEW REGIMENTS
 FOR PHILIPPINES

Washington, September 20.-(Special.)- The prospective orders for the detail of new regiments to the Philippines to take the place of those now there, which will be issued when General Bell chief of staff, returns to Washington, caused an army officer to reieotively remark that "every day in the year some part of the American army is on the move. It is like a boiling pot" he said; "the army as an institution remains stationary. but the contents keep moving all the time"
 The term of the service of our soldiers in foreign possessions of the United States Is limited to two years. This, however, does not include the time occu- pied in going and coming, which, with the modern transport of today, Is re- lieved of much of the discomfort and hardship suffered years ago.
 Two years of service has been found by nations having soldiers detailed in the tropics to be about all that white men can stand without suffering mental and physical deterioration. The American soldier, as rule. likes the Philippine service. not only because of it's foreign character, but for the reason that he gets extra pay for that detail and 1t counts double in computing time of service for retirement.

FAREWELL GIVEN
 CHARLES R. CRANE

New York, September 2o.-An impress sive farewell was given here tonight to Charles R. Crane of Chicago on the eve of his departure to become minister to China. With Seth Low, former president of Columbia university, as toastmaster, Wu Ting Fang. the retiring Chinese mln- ister, as principal guest, a cordial letter of good will as the Presidents contribu- ton, and loEg list of the nations lead- CTS in attendance,- there was nothing lack ing at the dinner given by the American Asiatic association, at Deisnonicos.
 You have a great opportunity in Chi rna," Minister Wu told MT. Crane. Your Presidents policy toward China is emi- nently just and fair, and will be re- quilted many fold With the opening of the Panama canal will come Americas great chance in China The opening of the canal is likely to result in such an increase of Americas commercial power there that her trade will surpass the combined trade of all the European coun- tries.
 Mir Crane, in his address, spoke enthu- siastically of the pleasure which he took in accepting President Tafts offer of the post In China. "The national attitude toward China he said, has never been better outlined than in President Taft's memorable Shanghai speech, when he said:
 China has no territory we long for; and can have no prosperity which we grudge her. nor any political power or Independence as an empire, justly exer- cised, which we should resent"

Speaks at Des Moines.

Les hoiHes, h., SeptemDer 20.-PreSi- dent Taft spent little more than four hours In Des Mones today and made an open address to an immense crowd gathered from all the surrounding coun- try in which he discussed In detail the changes he will recommend to Congress in the interstate commerce and antitrust laws.
 He announced he would urge the estab- lishment of an interstate commerce court of five men to consider appeals from rates fixed by the interstate commerce commission.
 He will also recommend legislation to prevent one interstate railroad to own stock in g. competing line and competing roads thus owning stock to dispose of their holdings within a given time.
 Legislation to prevent the over-issue of stocks and bonds and the watering of stocks will be strongly recommended-the Presidents proposition being that no stocks or bonds shall be issued except by permission by the interstate commerce commission until after an inquiry has been made as to their necessity,
 The giving to shippers of the choice of routes in the shipments of freight Is another important provision which the President favors.
 The President declared he knew of no way in which a distinction could be made between good" and bad trusts.
 He discussed the proposal to except lne Dor unions and farmers organizations from the operation of the antitrust law
 To specify these organizations, hs de- clared, would be vicious legislation, but he pointed way in which they could be relieved of some of the onerous restric- tions now placed upon them. He held them to be auendable to injunctiens.

The latest state- ment concerning his conditions came from Dr. W. J. Mayo at 12 o'clock.

BRIEF SPEECH DELIVERED
At Des Moines President Taft Speaks Upon the Laws Delays and Upon Needed Revision of the h.
 terstate Commerce Law.

Omaha, Neb., September 20-President Taft, leaving the "insurgent" states, Min nesota and Iowa, behind him, crossed the Missouri river today and stopped in Omaha for the afternoon and evening On his way to the Pacific coast
 The President found Omaha in the throes of a great street car strike. To avoid the possibility of trouble Mayor James c. Dahlman ordered all attempts to run cars during the Presidents stay called off The strike did not prevent the gathering of a great crowd in the downtown district and there were many times when the Presidents automobile had difficulty in making it's way through the cheering throng
 The President, arriving at 4:3O D. m, was taken for an hours ride through the streets and parks of the city. He passed nearly every school building in Omaha and received a joyous greeting from the little children who stood in front waving flags and cheering their loudest. The greetings he has received from the school children in every city visited has im- pressed Mr. Taft more deeply than an- other feature of his trip.
 Tonight the President was a guest ot the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben at a quiet dinner at the Omaha club, and afterward was taken out of the Den" of this or ganization, where he addressed one If the famous initiation festivals. The President thoroughly enjoyed the evening of gaiety the pranks and the tricks that were played upon unsuspecting novices.
 Afterward he made a brief address, in which he expressed his qualification for the greeting he had received and his en- joyment from the entertainment arraigned in his honor.
 At Des Moines today the President de- livered the second of the important decla- rations of the policy he has outlined for his trip. Having disposed of his views on the tariff at Wiuona, the President ad- dresed himself to the interstate commerce and antitrust laws and detailed at lengti the recommendations for amendments Q the statutes that he will make to Con Eress in his message of December next. At Denver tomorrow night Mir Taft prob ably will discuss the conservation of na- tional resources.
 At the dinner at the Omaha club the only speeches were by the President and by Gen. Charles F. Manderson, who in- troduced him. The Presidents remarks were brief, and he declared they were not for the use of his suite, by which term he referred to the newspaper men presnt.
 Tonight the President and his party were entertained at the Den" of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben

facts. First, the school is yours, it is sup
ported by you, and, your children should
receive the benefit of it, Second. as mem
hers of society, it is not only your privi-
lege but your duty to educate your sons
and daughters, and these who pay their
money to support schools have right to
demand of you that your children be sent
regularly to school that they may become
intelligent members of society and good
and worthy citizens, and they cannot be
# Kept out of school, is not right that
the chill iren be left out of school when
they could be sent, neither is it right to
permit them 10 stay at home when they
are MT neeced. merely because they 10 not
wish TO GO to school. Experience and OBJ
sci vation have taught us how impossible
It is for pupils to receive full benefits BY
gong TO school two or three times in a
week and remain the balance of The time.
This is lad enough when necessity comprIs
parents to keep their children frcm school,,
bnt when they are permitted to remain
out for the purpose Of attending some place
OF amusement. or merely because they

and them Immediately recover, IS much
worse. Time thus lost can never be regain
ed, and parents I'll will see the day when
they will rue it.
The teachers would be glad to have you
visit them occasionally and see that they
perform their duties and that your child
rem improve their time as they should.
