Those people who are 80 prone to
jump all over President Theodore
Roosevelt may make up their minds
that the Inauguration OF William
Howard Taft viii not bring them any
particular JOY in exemption from the
force and power inherent in the
Presidential prsrogative. Mr. Roose-
welt has but cleared the way and set
the pace for his successor and the
succession. He has left the Impress
Of his character and conception
upon the Office and the people are not
likely 10 forget him nor his standards
for many year to come.
Mr.. Tafts way may not be Mr..
RooseveIt's, but his aim, purpose and
act will tally straight and strong,
with the ends and achievements
sought and wrought BY the man who
is his friend and patron in the highest
sense Of both words. This is a fore
gone conclusion in the American
mind today, and no one knows il
better than the men in question. Taft
may use more caution; he may don
the velvet glove" and go at his OBJ
ject with softer address, but he viii
get there just the same and If the
"big stick" is needed he win WELD
it with all the honest unction and
tanning qualities Mr.. Roosevelt ever
did.
These men have been officially init
mate for years; their range Of action,
and coalition Of movement and au-
thority, have made them the com
manding figures Of their epoch, and
worthy the emulation that is a natu-
raj result Of it ALL 1t takes men Of
brains and moral strength to do what
these two men have done al home
and abroad, and each has enough Of
both not to forego the courses they
have pursued, when they know that
the masses have approved and sane
toned creed and code as exemplifed
by them both.
Whosoever thinks that the new
President is a weakling, placator,
dubious factor, administratively
speaking, has the lesson Of his life
before him, and he may begin his
course Of enlightenment from the
very reading of Mr. Tafts inaugural.

With the thermometer lowering
around the zero mark throughout
Texas, the South and Southwest was
in the grasp of the worst blizzard OF
the winter. Snow fall varying was
reported from almost every direction,
other points reporting biting cold
rain or sleet. The blizzard has ex-
tended itself from Texas north throu

While the cold has caused consld-

been reported, but traffic Of all kinds

A preliminary report was made by

the report which provoked an anlma-

The result Of the discussion was
