Inau6DTal MESSAGES

The Washington Herald says Mr.
Taft's inaugural message will consist
of 5000 words, or over four columns of
The Age-Herald. The new President
can not read it in less than an hour.
and the reader by the evening lamp
or in the early morning hours will
spend about as much time over it.
No inaugural address has appeared
in nearly 70 years as long as that of
Mr.. Taft's. The inaugural of Polk con-
tanned $500 words, but the elder Har-
rison holds the record for length OF
inaugural addresses, $500 words. Wash
ington's second inaugural contained
but $50 words, while Lincoln's second
consisted of 75O words.
If Mr.. Taft's inaugural today extends
to 5000 words it is more than likely
that he will make pretty clear the
policies he intends to pursue in the
four years of his term, unless indeed
he INDUCES in glittering generalities,
and he is not much inclined to speak
when he has nothing to say.

Panama canal, now one-third COM
pleted.
But the bravest and greatest of all
his work was the moral uplift he gave
the nation when he called a halt on
its trusts and monopolies. These
monopolies were built up after the
civil war, and no one between Lin
coin and Roosevelt had under
taken to bell restrainers of trade.
Mr.. Roosevelt faced them unfiinching-
ly. He left his task incomplete, but
he went far enough in it to save his
party from defeat. These monopolies
were largely built up in the days of
republican rule, and if Mr.. Roosevelt
had not curbed and checked them that
party would have been driven from
power He has bequeathed his great
task to his successor, who has &C
cepted it. But to the end of the re-
public Theodore Roosevelt will be
credited with the beginning of task
that called for a giant.

Brilliant Easter Service.

Fred l.. Grambs, organist and choir
master of the Church of the Advent, and
the choir are very active in rehearsing
for what will likely be the grandest
Easter service ever presented at that
church, said a musician. "rhe entire
service has been scored by Mr. Grambs
and an orchestra of picked players will
accompany the choir with the pipe or
gan.
The professional and occasional will
be accompanied by a trio of reed in
soon-with the French horn, making a
quartet, Handel's halleuiah chorus from
the Messiah" with full orchestral ae-
compartment, will be rendered. At a re-
cent rehearsal of this number the mar
velous feat OF rendering this number I'M
accompanied under the baton of Mr.
Grambs and finishing upon the key per-
fectly was accomplished which speaks
well for the ensemble work of the Ad-
vent choir.
LAS prelude to the service Wagner's
Pilgrim Chorus will be rendered by
orchestra and organ, while the choir will
be assisted by a number of ladies from
the Birmingham seminary chorus
Dudley Bucks joyous festival TIE Deum
will, upon general request, be sung, and
the offertory, AS 1t Began to Dawn by
C. Vincent, will be another brilliant num-
Der. 1t contains fine soprano solo which
will be sung by Mrs. Harriet w. O'Neil
with flute obligato.'

Geography of the Cabinet

Unless Mr.. Dickinson, an ex-Confed-
crate soldier, be credited to Tennes.
see, Illinois will have two members
of the cabinet in Messrs. MacVeigh
and Dickinson Massachusetts will
match her with Messrs. Meyer and
Hitchcock.
The south will have to be content
with near-member in Mr.. Nagel of
st. Louis, and Mr.. Dickinson, who lives
a great deal more in Chicago than
elsewhere.
The Pacific coast will be represented
by Mr.. Ballinger of Washington; the
middle west, by Mr.. Wilson of Iowa
and the two Illinois members, and the
east by the quartet from Massachu-
sets, New York and Pennsylvania
by Messrs. Wickerham, Knox, Meyer
and Hitchcock
The east and the middle west really
secure eight of the nine members of
the cabinet-all, in fact, except the
representative from the Pacific coast.
1t is but another illustration of the
old-time political maxim, "To the vic
tors belong the spoils."

President ROOSeVelt'S Work

When THEODORE Roosevelt retires
from the presidency today after a serv-
ice of seven and half years the peo-
pie will begin to forget his unconven-
tionality in methods, his contempt for
precedents and his love of the spec.
tacular-they will begin to forget all
this and begin to recall his services to
the republic. No one of 20 odd prede-
cessors had done so much to expand
the potentialities of the chief office.
No one of the number had been so re-
sourceful and so full of aggressive
policies in SO many directions. He
was protagonist at all points and
on all questions, and if his methods
had been conventional he would have
won the praise of all excepting of
course those upon whose toes he had
trodden.
Let us see what he did do. He as
sailed stealing in the land Offices of
the far west, and he did this regard
less of those who might be hit by his
efforts.
He doubled the strength of the fight
ing fleet until he could send it on a
practice cruise that rendered it the
spectacle and envy of the world.
He was instrumental in ending the
war between Russia and Japan, the
most cruel and destructive war OF
modern times.
He powerfully promoted arid-land
irrigation and advanced to the utmost
n his power a general conservation
policy.
He began the CONSTRUCTION of the

BOY LOSES LEG
FROM GUNSHOT

Meridian, Miss, March 3.-(special,)-
An accident that was deplorable and al
most fatal occurred this Afternoon out
about a mile from the city, when Clifton
Shackelford, the 10-year-old son of Mrs.
Belle Shackelford, was accidentally shot
by companion, Shirley Dunn. The two
boys were out rabbit hunting when young
Dunn stumbled over some brush and fell.
In some manner the single-barreled shot
gun that young Dunn was carrying fired
and the entire contents entered the right
leg of Clifton Shackelford about six
inches above the knee.
The wounded boy was carried to his
home and medical aid was summoned.
Upon examination it was found necessary
to amputate the youths limb. 1t is be-
lieved that he has good chance to re-
cover unless some complications arise.

LAW MAKERS TAKE
RADICAL ACTION

Nashville, March 3-Acting on the
grounds that constitutional quorum of
the entire general assembly being pres
ent, it is not necessary for a constitu-
tional quorum of each house to be present
for the transaction of business in joint
legislative session, the joint convention of
the Tennessee general assembly preceded
with business this afternoon and elected a
state comptroller, state treasurer, state
board of election commissioners and the
democratic and republican boards Of state
primary election commissioners.
Reau e. Folk was reelected treasurer
and insurance commissioner and Frank
Dibbrell succeeds himself as comptroller.
This movement on the part of those men,
bers of the Legislature who supported
the three new election laws and helped
pass them over the veto of the governor
came as a great surprise to the oppose
ton forces. The anti-adminlstration men
declare they have known for some days
that this action could be taken, but have
held off hoping the absent senators would
return.
The roll call of the respective houses
in joint convention showed 20 senators
and 81 representatives present, total of
ia. There are 132 members of the joint
convention, making So, two-thirds of the
total membership, quorum, according
to the contentious made. The roll call
showing ia memberes present, there were
26 members present over a constitutional
majority according to- the ruling.
AS soon as the intention of the ma
joriby became apparent the storm broke.
Sergeants at arms had been placed at
the gates to prevent the retirement of
members without permission from the
president and the administration forces
protested most vigorously against the
proceedings, declaring in an emphatic
manner that the convention was not le-
gal, that the convention was acting with
out constitutional or other authority.
The administration leaders argued
that the signature of the governor was
Unnecessary TO the resolution calling the
convention and Kentucky case was
cited, there being none covering the point
in Tennessee in support of the conten-
ton that a constitutional quorum of the
whole general assembly, and not neces-
sarlly of each branch of the legislature,
was alone necessary to joint legislative
convention. Administration supporters to-
night are, charging that todays proceed
ings were merely ruse to bring the
runaway senators back into the state,
when their attendance ON joint conveh-
ton could be forced and the elecuoh'
gone Though with again. Word from
the absent senator's at Hopkinsville' NY !,
says they will not return ana IL seems
probable that the courts will be calleo On
to adjust the trouble.

Our New Secretary Of the Treasury

The new Secretary of the Treasury
has never held office. He is whole
sale grocer who had a legal training
at the outset. He has been in civic
affairs in Chicago a reformer OF the
most pronounced sort Some of his
views were expressed in an address
delivered a few years ago in Chicago.
In substance, he said:
The unearned increment OF private
wealth is the earning of society.
1t is only clear that many fortunes are
in excess of any rational reward of indi-
vilual service.
| 1t is the things which make up the char
/ acter the habits, the customs, the tastes
and beliefs of the great majority of the
people that control the vastest interests
of civilization and human happiness.
Habitual idleness in the rich is no more
justifable than habitual idleness in a
tramp.
The development of great wealth in this
country is a matter of not more than p
years, and it is scarce a wonder that it
has not been fully asslmilated to our
social and economic and moral system.
The only leisure valuable to society is
that which affords a man or woman op-
portunity to freely choose his or her line
of usefulness.
Neither wealth nor poverty, neither
labor nor ideness, will or can create
classes in any real or important sense in
this nation.
These views are not alarming, but
they go to show that the coming Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who has be-
longed to both of the great parties, is
man of Independent views. 1t is
known, too, that he is not and never
has been a standpatter. He prefers a
revenue tariff. In fact, there seems
to be no charge against him except
that his Chicago firm does make and
sell tomato catsup that contains ben
zoate of soda The Remsen board
stands behind him in this matter, but
the consumers do not.
