Washington, July 10: President
Taft today gave an outline Of the ten
tative plans for his trip through the
west and south this fall. The presi-
dent has abandoned all idea Of visit
ing Alaska this year. He will first
visit Seattle, whence he will swing
down to the southwest. Going down
through California, Arizona, and New
Mexico, he will go on to Ell Paso,
where he expects to meet President
Diaz Of Mexico. At New orleans ne
will attend the meeting OF the Deep
waterways congress. After attending
this convention, Mr.. Taft wants to
stop for a time in the Bayou Teche
country of Louisiana, the land OF
Everglades and Arcadia. From there
he will proceed to Jackson, Miss,
thence to Montgomery, Birmingham
and Macon. From Macon the presi-
dent will 60 home" to Augusta, to
nave game or two on the links where
he spent so much time last winter.
Leaving Augusta the president goes
to Savannah, and from there begins
his northward flight to the White
House, stopping at Wilmington, N. G.

- Bristol, Va, July 9. The "drys"
contemplate contesting yesterday 8
local option election, in which the
town went wet" by small majori-
ty, after being without saloons for
two years. No statement will be Civ
en- out until after the official canvass
of the vote. There will be no saloons
in Bristol as result Of the election
before the 4rst week In August. This
rather unexpected situation caused
chagrin amongst the liquor contin-
gent, some Of whom had planned to
open saloons within the next few
days It results from the recent res
ignation Of Judge Price, of the Cor
poration court today and as his sue
cessor Judge Joseph L. Kelly, will not
qualify until August 1, there Is no
means before that date of securing
the necessary licenses. The Prohibi-
ton forces today began a segregation
and regulation fight, and will try and
prevent the opening Of saloons on
State street, one side Of which lies
within Tennessee, the state line being
the middle Of this point Of thorough
fare. An excise commission will prob
ably be appointed by Judge Kelly to
handle all applications for licenses.

lis it a crime for a woman to be
beautiful? That depends, according
to a Georgia legislator, upon whether
the beauty is natural or acquired.
This gallant southerner, a writer in
Success Magazine" declares, has no
fault to find with women who are born
beautiful, but he can not speak calm
ly of those who achieve beauty or
whose beauty is thrust upon them at
the corner drugstore. The bill which
the honorable member has introduc-
ed into the legislature provides that
with malice aforethought betray or
permit to be betrayed into matrimo-
ny any unsuspecting male Georgian,
by means of scents, paints, powders,
perfumes, cosmetics, waters, artificial
teeth or hair, or any other aids to
beauty Of face or figure, the marriage
may be declared null and void. It
seems unlikely that legislative body
OF chivalrous southern gentlemen will
pass such an uncomplimentary act.
This law would be a fatal admission
ladized beauty Of the southern
women Is somewhat less than
skin deep But even If it should
pass in Georgia, it is not likely to be-
come a general movement AS a ma
ton we should not care to see our
women labeled with guarantees un-
der a pure food and drugs act. We
who are so proud Of our self-made
men are not likely to discriminate un-
fairly against our self-made women
- Washington, July 10: On account
OF the fact that Republican politicians
consider Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Georgia doubtful states,
no Democrat will be appointed a GEN.
sus supervisor in any Of them. This
statement has been made by one in
position to know what he is talking
about Director Durand, who succeed
ed Mr.. North, has intimated that no
appointments will be made for some
time yet, which means that congress
must adjourn first so that the appoint
ments will be recess appointments,
thus. giving the appointee an advan-
tage. Where there is no hope of sub
stantial Republican gains Democrat
ic congressman may be permitted to
select the man to be named by the
president. Therefore, it is seen that
the Republicans will make political
capital out of the census appoint
ments. Patronage will be used to aid
the party. In this movement, which
is recognized here now, the hand Of
Postmaster General Hitchcock is seen.
Durand and others are saying that it
is up to the president. President Nc
Kinley, when confronted with the
same sort of conditions, solved the
problem by giving the Republicans
and Democrats of the states in ques-
ton an even show. Virginia had five
of the ten enumerators, and North
Carolina similar division. Southern
Democrats. especially congressman
from the four states mentioned in this
story, will make protest at the White
House. They will say that the census
should be taken in a business-like-
way: not by partisans but by capable
men of both parties.
