some very forcible ideas upon his
mind. In his inaugural add ess,

appointment of negroes that have
met with very general favorable

somewhat significant utterances:
But it may we'll admit of doubt

the INAUGURAL.

Mr.. w. H. Taft's inaugural ad-
dress was mainly prepared one
of most of what he uttered during
the Presidential campaign. 1t
was what might be termed an
admirable political document
from his standpoint. He threw
in a few bouquets for the Southern
people to digest. Despite the
Indictment weather that MARRIED
the occasion he was feeling ex-
tremely felicitous over his promi-
nency.
On occasions of this kind it is
not always well to build castles on
the utterances of a citizen elevated
to such an exalted position as the
presidency of this mighty repub-
lie. II is much wiser to await his
official utterances in his recon-
mendations to Congress and watch
his official actions. The words of
his inaugural are what, Shakes
peare would term. "iha. keep the
word of promise to our ear and
break it to our hope" 1t Is never
we'll for this section of the land to
place too implicit faith in the
promises of a great leader of
Republican tendencies. Thus the
developments of the future will
demonstrate how much sincerity
IS embodied in what he has declar-
ed already touching his future
policies.

RAILWAYS AID FARMING.

If there ia not q rapid and Won
derful development in agriculture
it will not be the faul. of the rail-
roads that run through the un.
developed sections of the South.
Their agents are travelling through
out the southwest and urging the
development of the vacant lands
that are SO plentiful. They are
delivering seed tree from their
agricultural cars. distributing liter
allure and sending their agents to
this section in an earnest effort to
promote both emigration and Gull
tivation of the land.
This has been demonstrated by
the roads that center in WINFIELD
and whose agents have been COL
lecting data relative to climate,
soil. health. products, lands and
all the minutiae connected with
farming with view OF peoPling
the vacart lands with a thrifty
and industrious population. This
is the forerunner to furnishing
transportation for the fruits of the
soil at reduced rates in order to
promote the ends sought.
Too little attedtion is being
paid to the importance of the
railroads and too much indiffer
ence manifested in furnishing the
information sought. Development
is the keynote to success and
prosperity. Interest. united to
activity and energy. means devel
opment. Every facility should
be furnished the railroads in their
highly laudable efforts to fill the
land with more workers and in
crease its productiveness and
wealth.
