THINK STRUGGLED
DOPE OFF TRANSPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, November 81
William McShane, for twenty four
years a stevedore along the San Fran
cisco waterfront, was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Heacock
yesterday on a charge of smuggling
two fve-tael tins of smoking opium
into this country. He was held in $500
bonds for appearance at his prelimi-
nary examination to be held at ten
clock on Wednesday morning next.
The arrest was made by policeman
in Oakland on Wednesday, who follow
ed McShane into a Chinese store and
saw the Chinese in the act of paying
the old longshoreman for the opium,
which was on the counter. Selling the
opium, he placed McShane in custody.
Although the having of opium in pos
session is an offense under the State
law, it was deemed best to turn the
offender over to federal prosecution,
and the warrant was accordingly is
sued yesterday.
1t is believed that the drug came
over either on the Chiyo Maru or a
transport, for MeShane, on account of
his age. has done no longshore work for
some months. From the fact of his
having been at one time head steve
dore on the transport dock. he had
free passage through the gates and
was allowed to visit the other steam
ship docks without question.
He claims that the package was
given to him by stevedore named
Wilson. who asked him to deliver it te
the Chinese. He processes Ignorance
of the contents of the package.

A DEAD QUESTION.

Noting a few days ago, for the
sixth time in five years, his own obit-
uary, and having four times previ-
ously denied that he was dead, a gen.
tleman of McKeesport, Pa, recently
mailed to every newspaper in his sec,
ton of the country the following
communication:
"Once again I must prove an alibi
1 am neither dead nor near it. II
becomes monotonous, however, to be
kept busy asserting that one is alive
when the newspapers have you dead
The man who wanted a glass coffin sc

nerals 1 have missed I will whiL

This mans predicament reminds
one of the Democratic party. The
progressive element of this country
has known for some time that the
Democratic party is dead one YET
each time it comes forth in it's Grip.
pied condition to deny the allegation
The difference between it and the Nc
Keesport man is that the Democratic
party will hardly have enough life
to kill the next party that says it is
dead.

Before Mr.. Taft was inaugurated
We stated in these columns that we
believed his administration would be
very acceptable to all classes, and the
indications were that his administra-
ton would be known as an ''era of
good feeling" The Philadelphia
Press, in speaking of President Taft's
inaugural address, express much the
same opinion. The Press says:
President Taft's inaugural has
had approval Independent of party
and past differences. Not since Mon

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bill as prepared by
the WAYS and Means Committee
was introduced in Congress yesteT-
day afternoon. 1t is estimated that
the revenue under the tariff duties
prescribed will amount to 5000. 900
600. which is an increase OF $1O.-
600 900 over the Dingley bill. One
of the new features of the proposed
bill is the inheritance tax, direct in
heritanee OF $4,000 to 100000 to
be taxed one per cent. Coffee Is
placed on the free list and per
centum tax Is placed on tea from
country where produced and nine
cents from other countries. Coal Ii
placed on a free schedule with conn
tries admitting our coal free. Iron
ore is placed on the free list. also
hides. while the duty on shoes is re-
duced 40 per cent. Wood pulp. from
which paper is made. will be admit
ted free from all countries where ne
export duty Is charged. The duty or
lumber. steel rails and other stee
products is reduced one-half. There
is a reduction Of five cents on refined
sugar, while the duty on wood is un
changed. The bill authorizes the is
suance of $25,O00,0O0 in treasur.
certificates, to run one year, which
would relieve any financial embar
rassment until the revenue under tn
Inew act would begin to come in. Tn
new act, however, would not go int
effect until sixty days from the dat
1t is passed by Congress. Chairma
Payne believes that with return t
normal conditions in the bushes
world the nations deficit would 500
be wiped out. If not, the bill full
Their provides for an issue of Panam
Canal bonds of $4O,0O0,0O0 to max
up any probable deficiency. But tn
issue would be made as an Offset
the original purchase amount paid b
the Government to the French con
Ipany for the canal property.
1t is possible that some of tt
schedules in the bill will be amen
ed by Congress before the bill b
comes a law, though it is not pro
able that any radical changes will
made in the original bill. Congre
will probably discuss the measure fl
a month or more before putting Il
bill on its final passage
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-03-18

The legislature increased the tax
on almost every business in the
State, provided for the issuing of
more bonds, and still some are of the
opinion that all this will not raise
enough money to pay the increased
salaries, the special committees and
the salaries of the new offices Gre
ated. They claim that the State will
receive at least $4,000 a year from
the tax on oil. That ought to pay
some toward the increased salaries.

PRESIDENT TAFT's POLICIES.

President Taft's inaugural address
which was in a sense a message to
Congress as well as a message TO the
people as a whole, was well received
throughout the country In fact, the
majority OF the Democratic papers
were as lavish In their praise of the
new President as were the most ar
dent Republican papers In his adj
dress ne gave an outline OF the main
policies of the new administration,
so far as they can now be anticipated.
His address was a clear-cut, straight
forward and forceful presentation of
the chief policies to which his ad-
ministration is committed. Some of
the principle features OF the Presi-
dents program, as stated in his in
augural address, are as follows:
Tariff revision at extra session of
Congress.
"A graduated Inheritance tax If
the tariff on imports does not pro-
duce. with the revenue from other
sources, sufficient revenue for the
needs of the Government.
Laws which shall secure the con.
servation of the natural resources NJ
the country, SO far as as they may be
within the Jurisdiction of the Fed
eral Government.
An army and navy strong enough
for the national defense and the ex
ercise of our influence in interna
tional matters.
"A change in our monetary an,
banking laws SO as to secure create
elasticity in the forms of currenc
available for trade.
"The establishment of postal saw
ings banks.
Free trade between the Unite
States and the Philippines, with tn
exception Of certain limitations O
imports of sugar and tobacco.
"The use of mail subsidies to es
.tablish direct lines of steamships be-
tween North and South America.
'The construction of the Panam
Canal.
Promotion of good feeling be
tween the South and the other SCI
lions of the country. No interference
with the election laws of Souther
States not in conflict with the Fl
teenth Amendment.
Legislation making the Govern
ment liable to its employees for il
5uries sustained in its employment
"The formulation In a statute {
the conditions under which tempo
airy restraining order ought to issu
industrial disputes"
President Taft has shown that h
does not think that the platform wa
written simply to get in Office on, br
that he expects to redeem the pledge
made by his party during the can
paign. The first pledge to be r,
deemed is the revision of the tariff
