FIVE LAWYERS CHOSEN
BY Mr.. TAFT FOR PLACES IN HIS
CABINET.
The Secretary Of War viii be J. M
Dickinson Of Tennessee, a DEM
oerat and Attorney.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-President
elect Taft arrived here Sunday from
Cincinnati and with Mrs. Taft is the
guest of DR.. S. Weir Mitchell. A con
ference took place between Mr.. Taft
and Frank II. Hitchcock, who came
here at the request of Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft admits he is making head
way in the selection of a secretary OF
treasury, but maintains that the place
Is not yet filled. Franklin McVeagh
and Myron II. Herrick are two men
under consideration. With this excep
tion the Taft cabinet is complete and
when officially promulgated will be
found as follows:
Secretary of Philander G,
Knox of Pennsylvania.
Attorney General-George w. Wick.
ersham of New York.
Secretary of War;. NJ. Dickinson
of Tennessee.
Secretary of the Navy-George Won
L. Meyer of Massachusetts.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel OF Missouri.
Secretary OF the Interior-R, A, Bal.
linger of Washington.
Postmaster General - Frank III.
Hitchcock of Massachusetts.
Secretary of Agriculture - James
Wilson of Iowa.
It will be observed that in this list
are FIVE lawyers, of whom Mr.. Taft
believes there are none better in the
country. This fact is not mere co.
incidence, but is an accomplishment
which has been striven for by the in.
coming president and bears a most
important relation to what he be,
lieves to be the important work of his
administration.
Constitutional legal restrictions on
corporate abuses are the accomplish.
ments he will strive for. The dfIicul.
ties OF first framing such measures
and then of securing their enactment
have confronted Mr.. Taft with great
force. To meet them with success he
believes will require the combined
legal skill of the ablest minds he can
bring to the task.
With this known careful consldera
tion with regard to the lawyers in his
cabinet, it is interesting to know
something of the personality and Legal
achievements of the latest acquisition
j. M. Dickinson Of Tennessee, who
accepted the war portfolio at the
hands Of Mr.. Taft in Cincinnati OF
Saturday.
Mr., Dickinson will give up the posi-
tion of general solicitor for the Hi
nois Central railway system and {

sisslppi, served three months in th'

BATTLESHIPS IN PARADE
TWENTY PASSED IN REVIEW BE.
FORE THE PRESIDENT.
Homecoming Of the Atlantic Fleet was
One Of the Greatest Events in
Our Navy's History.

Old Point Comfort, Va, Feb. o.
The Mayflower with the president and
his party on board arrived at the tail
of the Horseshoe in Chesapeake Bay,
about eight miles east of the Old
Point pier and about equal distance
from the gateway of the ,dIIs, -.
a. m, to-day. The Mayfower was in ap
proximately the same position she
took up when the fleet ventured forth
on the cruise that was to make the
American navy familiar and famous in
the ports of the world The Connec
ticut leading the single column of bat
tleships and escorting cruisers point
ed the way in the capes at 10 O'Clock
and passed the Mayfower at II
o'clock.
The line of ships was little more
than seven miles long and was one
hour in passing. The battleships pro
ceeded slowly to the anchorage
grounds running west from the Ole
Point pier and the Mayfower, picking
up her anchors, followed the last Of
the war vessels into the roads. The
presidents yacht took a position II
the center of the feet and at o'clocl
the flag and commanding officers
were received on board by President
Roosevelt.
Later the president, accompanied by
the commander-in-chief of the feet
went aboard the Connecticut, Louisi
ana, Georgia and the Wisconsin, thu
divisional fagships, to address tn,
men. Returning to the Maynower a
the end of these visits the presiden
returned to Washington.
The review to-day goes down in his
tory as one of the most notable in th'
annals of the American navy Tn,
number of vessels in the line filed b!
the Mayhower was not as great as a
other reviews, but never before ha
the president personally visited 81
many OF the ships. The review wa
also notable in that II brought to
gether the greatest number of battle
ships ever assembled under the Amer
lean flag. There were 20 first elias
battleshlps in the imposing column
two more than the review In Sal
Francisco harbor last May.

The Stomach
of the Child
Is the Organ all Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal.

The stomach OF a child Is the organ
above all otheres upon which the fu-
ture Of child depends. Bodily de-
velopment is fast in children, and the
nourishment necessary TO meet such
development is the one essential de-
manded from parent. Most moth
ers and fathers, iealously guard
child from the formation Of bad hab-
its, yet | nthis age our children early
become the victims of wrong food,
over eating and irregular meals.
1t is most appalling to know the
effect of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous, ir-
ritable and cross, who dream, sleep
restlessly, who tire easily and have
no desire for child exercise, generally
have stomach trouble, indigestion and
dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system in shape to OBJ
tain all the nourlshment It needs from
such food.
These tablets mix with the juices
of the system, enrichihg them and
giving to the body the ingredients
necessary to build up the rapidly
forming brain and body of the
young.
Stuahs Dyspepsia Tablets should
be give nto children arter each meal
and at bed time. They are made
from pure vegetable fruit essences
and contain no harmful chemicals
whatever. The use Of these tablets
will give greater vim TO a child in
it's school work or at It's play. They
will produce appetite and soothC
nerves, destroy abnormal craving;
and will allay the bad effects o
sweets and such improper foods as
most children enjoy and will eat nc
matter what is done to prevent It.
1t is due the child that his stomach
be protected by the parent, and 1

The attention of the Board of
Health has been called to the filthy
condition of kennels and hog pens on
East street and several property
owners have been notified to abate
the nuisance. Such conditions apply
not only to East street but to nearly
all streets of the Town Of Smyrna
and these warm days are the best
time to detect infractions of the law,
That some rigid action should be taken
for the health of our community, there
can be no doubt. Our Board of Health
should enforce the law to the letter
and they should have the backing
of the Town Council in all their
efforts. Indeed, there are many who
are of the opinion that there should be
an ordinance against keeping hogs
and cows in Smyrna. 1t is difficult
to keep such places clean and are in
most instances breeding places of
filth. AS to dogs, there would seem
to be plenty of law to get rid of
them, since the muzzle law in ninety
cases out of hundred is totally dis
regarded. The complaint lodged
against the kennels on East street are
mostly cases of cOlored people who
keep several dogs and feed them on
meat. Bones which they are allowed
to pick and left scattered about the
yard, decay and become offensive.
Some residents have simply found it
unbearable to sit or their front por-
ches. The attention of officer Cum
Minis will be called to the infractions
of the dog ordinance with the view
of shooting and killing all dogs run
ming at large without a muzzle. The
nuisance cases will be dealt with bv
the Board of Health.

1t is unfortunate that people should
so utterly disregard the truth as to
report an epidemic of typhoid fever
in Smyrna. Such reports are damag-
ing to trade. The few cases, and
most Of them are convalescent, have
been in families where pump water
is used. AS to our town water there
is no water system in Delaware that
is purer than Smyrna. Recent tests.
and they are made frequently, show
the very purest analysis which would
indicate that the reports damaging to
Smyrna are wholly without founda-
tion.

and in past years has been most effeo- tive in its work for the development of the trade and business interests of this community. In the opinion of those who have favored this concentration of effort great deal moro might be accomplished Tor Charleston by concerted action than by the skirmish firing in which the several business associations of this town have been engaged from time to time. Eome- thing ought to be done for more effective work of this sort in Charleston Limited we stand, divided we fall" We do not suppose that any one will seriously con tend that much more could not be ac- complished by united action than by indi- vidual initiative, or by the distribution of our promotion work among four or i've organizations supposedly with the same worthy object in view but often iissipat- ing their strength and usefulness by ipde- pendent actions The moral of these ob- servations, of course, is that we can do more by working together than we can do by pulling apart, or rather by being in each other way.
