For the first time in the history of
the secret service the men assigned
to the duty of watching the President
were compelled to appear in uniforms.
That is, they wore just as much
uniform as secret service man could
possibly wear. The order has gone
out that hereafter when the secret
service men accompany the President
to church, they must wear high hats
and long tail coats. Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt permitted the secret
service men who accompanied him to
wear whatsoever they pleased so long
as they were decently clad. The
high hats and the long tail coats on

AS election time approaches, it
should be the ambition and desire of
every tax payer in the city to see
that men are selected as members of
the Common Council, and the County
Board that are at least property hold
ers within the city, and who pay taxes
thereon, and who would have the
best interests Of the city at heart,
toward It's economical administration
Of city affairs. Such men ought tC
be selected without any special inter.
est, or corporate interest of any kind.
They should be selected with but one
idea in mind, and that for the general
good OF the city as a whole. They
should be men who stand for progress
sion and ready 20 do everything with
in their power toward the upbuiIding
of the city. What is true of the
aldermen, is also true of the super
visors, who are members of the
county board, and have the same
relations to the county that alder
men have to the city. The city OF
Grand Rapids and the county of Wood
should have only one ideal and that
should be to grow and deveiope and
keep abreast with the times, so that the
people of the state and nation would
seek our boundaries for a location
We hope the voters in this city will
conscientiously select such men for
these places as their best judgment
dictates.

REPLIES TO TAFT
REPUBLICANS TRYING TO DE.
BAUCH THE SOUTH.
He Shows Why He Is Opposed to
Compulsory School Attendance in
South Carolina.
South Carolina

Washington, Jan. 20.-When Sen
ator Tillman heard today that Pres
ident-elect Taft had made speech
in Augusta, in which he referred to
public men who were lacking in
sympathy for the negroes in their
efforts to secrue an education, he
became thoroughly aroused, and did
not hesitate to express his opinion,
saying This is directly traceable
to the misstatements and malicious
editorials emanating from the two
leading newspapers in South Carroll
ma, il. which my attitude was not
correctly stated.
In the first place, I am no, op-
posed to negro education at all, pro-
vided it IS Of the right kind, know
ing that education increases the in
te.iigence and usefulness Of the cit
izer. What l said and meant, and
by which l stick, Is this: That the
Republican policy Of the last forty
years has been to compel the South
to recognize the political equality
of the negro. That in it's essence
would mean the domination Of the
negro in South Carolina and Missis-
sippi, and many parts of other South
ern States.
we have disfranchised every ne
gro we could under the fifteenth
amendment and the only instru-
mentality available was to require
an educational qualification. There
is now an agitation in South Carroll
ma for compulsory education. That
would mean a heavy burden to
provide more schools, which the
white taxpayers would have to bear,
and there could be no discrimination
against the negro on account OF
race or color. Hence we would pre-.
sent the spectacle of educating the
negro at very heavy expense to
hurry forward the contest for SUI
premacy between the two races as
soon as we should have given them
the necessary qualifications to vote,
and be undoing what we found abb
solutely necessary to preserve our
civilization.
I'VE never intend to be governed
by negroes, whether educated or un-
educated. The Republican party Is
now seeking to debauch the South
through Mr.. Taft, who offers us two
Offices in every thousand Of our pop
ulation, and a pretended advance
ment of our material interests to
join that party. If the Republicans
will throw down and abandon once
for all their efforts to compel the
South to recognize the equality Of
the Caucasion and the African b.
repeating the fifteenth amendment,
We can then have the control of our
State affairs and can then train them
to make better citizens and aid in
the 'uplift which Mr.. Taft is so
anxious to Sc brought about. But
we never expect to lift chem high
enough ourselves or allow anybody
else to lift them high enough to put
theirs heels on our necks, or govern
us again, and the conflict of the
races which seems to me inevitable,
will only be hastened by such talk
as Mr.. Taft indulge in. -
