TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

A Roosevelt return from Elba" may
strike the imagination favorable, but
unless Mr.. Taft becomes very reac-
he consorts with Aid
rich and Cannon and snubs the 1nsur-
gents-it is difficult to see how 1t can
crystallize into a nomination in 1912.
The fact should not be lost sight OF
that an administration controls the
Republican delegates of thirteen one
marty Southern states very much as
Diaz does the votes in Mexico, or any
South American administration does
the votes cast in its state.
These thirteen Southern states have
in a Republican national convention
282 votes Thee East, from Delaware
to Maine inclusive, cast 252 votes
Here, then, are 534 delegates out of :
total of 992 The South and the Eas,
can control the convention.
But a third-termer must indeed b
stronger than General Grant was il
1880. The unwritten law against :
third term has grown with the year
of the Republic, and unless Mr.. Tai
goes bodily over to the reactionarle!
it is much too early to assume that b
/ will be turned down by his party cor
/ yention in 1912.

CAN FIX LICENSE TAX
The Law Making Power of
City Alderman is Far
Re. ching.
State Supreme Court Declares Char
1otte Did Not Impose PrOhibitive
Tax on Near-Beer Saloons
When 1t Levied $1,000.

Raleigh, N. c.. Dec. 1.-The Supreme
Court sustains the Mecklenburg Supe-
rior Court in holding that the 81 1000
tax imposed by the City of Charlotte
in the case of the State VS.. Dannen-
berg, on near-beer saloons, is valid,
thus setting at rest the prohibition
forces of the State, whose leaders had
declared If the power of cities and
towns to impose such license tax on
these places was not sustained there
must be another legislative campaign
that would assure to towns the power
to absolutely control such places.
The courts opinion, written by JUS
tice Brown, who holds the Charlotte
ordinance is not ultra wires, and not
discriminative, since it applies to all
persons alike who would operate sucn
places, that it is not prohibitive, OF
under consideration the question Of
reasOnableness in view of the show
ing of expense for police and other
cost of maintaining order at these
places. The court declares the pre-
sumption of reasonableness is not
overcome by the contentious of the
defendant. The court holds, further-
more. that no violation of the four
teenth amendment to the Federal con-
stitution, the ordinance being well
within the police power of state and
municipality.

BIG CHANCE FOR FRAUD.
This Is the Point Being Made by the
Government.

New York, Dec 1.-The fruitful cp
portunity for fraud in the haste and
hustle of the enormous business done
daily on the Williamsburg docks of
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany was what the government sought
to bring out today in it's prosecution
of the six former employees of the
company now on trial, charged with
defrauding the government by under
weights.
David Fragner, customs Inspector,
and once an assistant weigher, testi-
fed that busy time two truckc
minute passed over single set Of
scales, or eight to the minute on th3
four sets in use there for every hour
of the day Each truck weighed half
ton an deach half ton the govern
ment will contend was weighed thir'
teen pounds short, by the secret ma
nipulations of government employees,
who, it is charged, were paid cash by
the sugar company for the evasion OF
customs duties. If the game ran prop
erly the government stood to lose dues
on $3.50 pounds of sugar every hour.
At this steady flood of trucking
rolled across the scales the checke:
who stood next the weigher was toe
busy for Fragner to watch him. Johr
J. Longhran, a checker, was asked Il
all the entries to which he certified

STARTLING SUICIDE
Greensboro Society Belle
Puts Pistol Ball Through
Heart.
After Being Kindly demonstrated
With by Relative Young Woman
Went to Her Room, Where
Awful Deed Followed.

Greensboro, N. c., Dec. 2.-Without
any previous intimation and with no
earthly motive other than a slight re-
monstrance from a member of her
family about extravagant indulgences,
Ethel Norman, the seventeen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Nor
man, of Pomona, passed her mother in
the hall at $40 o'clock yesterday
evening went directly to her room and
thirty minutes later pressed revolver
to her bosom and fired, the bullet
passing through the centre of her
heart and death resulting instantly.
the terror-stricken mother rushing in
to the room just in time to see her
youngest and devoted daughter breatn
her last.
Why the young lady, who was just
budding into womanhood, should be
prompted to such a rash act is beyond
the comprehension of her closest rela.
tions and most intimate friends. Sur
rounded at all times by ardent admir- :
ers. overwhelmed with devoted atten-
ton by every member of her family
and society, in the very glory of youth
and the charms which attach to Il
young woman graced with the culture
of refinement and the best society, it
is hard to attribute any cause for such
a tragedy other than that in moment
of terrible dependency brought about
by the slight but kindly remonstrance,
the young woman became for the mo-
ment deranged and fired the death
dealing bullet into her heart without =
full realization of it's awful consc-
quences to the aged parents and de
voted relatives and friends.
