In the face OF many threats OF fed.
eral interference and OF reduced rep
resentation in congress. the south has
persevered in this policy because II
knew II was right and because II was
confident that the entire country
would in time. concede that It was
right.
Mr.. Taft is the first Republican pres

concede that the country needs. in Its
legislation and administration, the &C.

Taft will need the support OF all the

support which he has made before the
North Carolina society of New York
the coming president vaults lightly
over many obstacles that will not be
so easily overcome in the concrete.
In the presence OF conditions that

hesitate long before abandoning its

full promises of what II is going to do
for the negro. and the fear is ever
present in the south that Republican
administration may interfere. through
its interstate powers. to disturb con-
ditions there by trying to make these
promises good.
II may be confidently predicted that
southern Democrats. and Democrats
from other parts Of the country. will
support President Taft in all bene-

not going to break ranks and aban-

'ederal Sleuths Kept on the Jump

Originally the secret service OF the
United states had two functions and
two only. Those were the detection
OF counterfeiters and the hunting
down OF Illicit distillers. A good many
years ago. however. long before Mr..
Roosevelt entered public life. one OF
the presidents detailed secret serv-
ice men TO serve at the White House.
There was not the slightest authority
in law for such a procedure. but con-
gress had a good deal OF considera-
ton for the executive and this vio-
lation OF law went on year after year.
Finally congress. seeing that the prac-
tice had become permanent and not
wishing 10 engage In a dispute with
the executive branch, conferred the le-
gal authority necessary TO enable
presidents to make such a detail.
Gradually the presidents enlarged
the practice OF detailing secret serv-
Ice men and sent them hither and
yonder on all sorts Of errands. Then

chiefs and even bureau heads-with-
