est they took In the Republican par
~ was TO secure delegates and ma
nipuIate conventions to perpetuate
their own power.
Judge Taft realizes that there viii
come howls and protests from the
professional politicians. but he has
firmly made up his mind that they
and their kind must give way in or
der that he may build MP a Repub-
ican party OF character and pro-
gress.
The "Lincoln Way"
The near approach OF Lincoln's
birthday February 12th) has start
ed the consideration Of some fitting
memorial In memory OF Lincoln.
The general concensus Of opinion
In Congress is that a great highway
from Washington to Gettysburg, that
viii surpass the famous Appian Way
of Rome. will be a more fitting me-
mortal than a monument of stone or
marble. Senator Knox has already
introduced a bill for this purpose
and it seems that 1t yill receive IA
vorable action.
It is said that this will not only
be the most fitting memorial to Lin
coin to enable every one visiting
Washington to make also a quick
and comfortable run to Gettysburg,
but that It will be a great national
object lesson In the building of good
roads.
Cabinet Timber in the South.
1t is reported here that Judge Taft
has not only decided to keep Gen
Wright, of Tennessee at the head OF
the War Department, but that he is
also considering the taking of some
representative of the progressive In
dustria1 forces of the South for an
other seat at his Cabinet table.
1t is also reported that among the
names which Judge Taft is consider
ing is that of Mr.. D. A. Tompkins
of Charlotte. 1t is said that Judge
Taft not only feels that some man
who is a potential industrial factor
in the development of the South
should be represented in his Cabinet
but also that the appointment of such
man would be very effective in
helping to build up a strong and pro-
gressive Republican party in the
South
Seawell Will Be Judge.
The nomination of Mr.. Seaweu for
the Eastern Judgeship has not YET
been confirmed, but there is a grow.
ing feeling that he will undoubtedly
be Judge. whether confirmed at this
session or not, because it is asserted
that he being a man of character and
capacity and there being no charges
against him, that Judge Taft would
surely re-appoint the man selected
by President Roosevelt and would
send his name to the Senate for con
firmation Immediately after the 4th
of March. Indeed, there is a chance
that he will be confirmed before this
session ends.

THE REFEREE SYSTEM MUST GO.

We publish on the front page OF
this issue of the Caucasian a COM
munication from Augusta, Ga, by
that reliable newspaper correspond
ent. James Hay, Jr. 1t will be read
with interest not only by every Re-
publican, but also by people Of all
parties
II means that there is to be a
strong and growing Republican par
ty in North Carolina and every
Southern State, and that men of the
highest character and capacity will
lead it, This will mean much to the
South, because good government can
only be secured where parties are 80
evenly balanced that it is easy to
turn out a party that fails to give
good government and put in the 9TH
er party. This being so, every good
citizen, regardless Of party, must
welcome the new order of things
that President Taft's speech at At
lanta, published in the last issue of
The Caucasian and those who read
this article by Mr.. Hay, giving a
synopsis of Judge Taft's policy, will
be very much struck with the senti-
ments expressed as being the same
that have been expressed for long
time, week after week, in the edi-
torial columns of The Caucasian. In
deed, every evil that stood in the way
of Republican growth, and every
remedy for the same mentioned by
Judge Taft have long since been
pointed out, time after time, in the
columns Of this paper.
1t has been clear for a long time
to every observant person in the
South that it was the old referee sys-
tenn and the evils that grew out of
it that were the curse of the Repub-
hcan party. But it has been extreme
ly difficult to get the facts and the
true situation clearly seen at the
White House.
But Judge Taft now knows the
real evil and will put his foot SQUARE
ly upon 1t. This is a great victory
for decency and independence. The
future growth and success of the
Republican party in the South is now
assured.

The Solicitors salary bill created
lively discussion in the Lower
House of the Legislature Tuesday.
Every attack possible was made to
Kill the bill, but it was finally passed
the House with an amendment plae-
ing the salary at $2,25O instead of
S2'76O, as was provided for in the
original bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Koonce.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature for State primary law.
We do not need such a law. and It
would put the State to needless ex-
pense just to help the Democratic pol
lticians out of hole. But we do
need the Australian ballot system
and would like to see the legislators
turn their attention to such a bill.

Old Scheme of Hiding Wrap
perS in Filler Brought
to Light.

Apparent attempts at fraud in the i'm
pcrtations of tJbacco have been called
10 the attention Of the Treasury Depart
ment, the method employed being the
old one OF including some wrapper to-
bacco, which pays a higher duty, In a
shipment OF filler tobacco
Today the department, In an effort to
put a stop to this practice, sent instruc-
lions to Collector Loeb at New York
He was told that when / or more per
cent OF wrapper tobacco IS found in
each Of two or more bales taken for
examination to the appraisers stores, he
is to take another lot Of packages and II
the same condition exists the entire I'M
portation Is 10 be examined.
II a bale should contain 10 per cent of
wrapper ,.,hacco the whole would be
taxed at the rate for that kind Of to-
bacco. Below Is per cent the importa-
ton is assessed separately according to
the percentage of wrapper that is found
