FIRST MESSAGE
OF Pres. TAFT
WAS SHORT ONE
TARIFF CHANGES ARE BADLY
NEEDED IN COUNTRY, SAYS
NEW PRESIDENT.
ConSitions at Present Demand
Change in the DingIey BiII-He
Urges Congress to Act as
Speedily as Possible.

Washington, d. c., March 16.-Pres-
ldent TAFT today sent the following
message to congress:
TO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
i have convened congress in extra
session in order to enable it to give
immediate consideration to a revision
of the Dingley tariff act. The condi-
tions affecting production, manutac-
ture and business generally have so
changed III the last twelve years as
to require readjustment and revi-
sion OF the import duties imposed by
that act. More than this, the present
tariff act, with other sources of gov
ernment revenue. does not furnish in
come enough to pay the authorized ex-
penditures. By July / next an ex-
cess of expenses over receipts for the
current fiscal year will equal $780,
100000.
The successful party in the late
election is pledged to a revision of the
tariff. The country, and the business
community especially, expect it. The
prospect of a change in the rates OF
import duties always causes suspen-
sion or halt in business, because of
the uncertainty as to the changes to
be made and their effect. 1t is, there
fore, of the highest importance that
new bill should be agreed upon and
passed with as much speed as possible
consistent with it's due and thorough
consideration.
For the Sc reasons | lave deemed
the present to be an extraordinary
occasion within the meaning of the
constitution, and requiring the calling
of an extra session.
"In my inaugural address stated in
a summary way the principles upon
which, in my Judgment, q revision of
the tariff should proceed, and indi-
Gated at least one new source OF
revenue that might be properly re
sorted to in order to avoid future def
cit
at is not necessary for me to re-
peal what | then said 4 venture to sug
gest that the vital business interests
of the country require that the atten-
ton of congress in this session be
chiefly devoted to a consideration OF
the new tariff bill, and that less time
be given to other subjects Of legisla-
ton in this session, which is better
for the country"

THE ASSOCIATION
DECIDED To
DISRAND
ALL EFFORTS TO MAKE THE
GREATER BRUNSWICK AssocI-
ALTON A GO FAH.ED-lTS DE.
MISE OCCURRED MONDAY,

1t isn't very encouraging piece of
news, and it certainly does not look
well to the outside world, but it is
the truth nevertheless. The Greater
brunswick association is dead. Its
existence was short and sweet and
what was at first believed would
be hourishing organization for the
city, is already a thing of the past.
meeting was held Monday night
for the specific purpose of deciding
the future of the association. After
reports as to the number of new
but one thing to do-disband A res
olution to this effect was introduced
and adopted and the fifteen or twenty
citizens present quietly left the city
hall. some of them mourning the
death of the organization.
1t was decided to return what
money is left in the treasury to those
who contributed. The actual expenses
during the life of the organization will
be deducted and checks will then be
sent out to those who contributed.
The contributors, of course, will not
get all that they paid in, but they
will receive probably SO per cent OF
it.
Every effort was made to make this
organization success, but for some
reason the people would not get in
terested, and out of a total Of prob
ably one thousand postal cards sent
out, only about dozen were. returned
Under these circumstances, there was
nothing to do but d,sband

Large Crowd Was Present.

Lyens and his son, charged with the
murder Of Fleming Smith, was called
in Wayne superior court at Jesup yes

defense at once filed a plea in abate-
ment, on the ground that the names
of two of the grand jurors who had
indicted Lyens and his son were not
in the jury box. The plea was sus-
tanned by the court. 1t seems that
the clerk OF the court made a mis-
take in the names The prisonei s.
however, were at once reindictel and
the work Of canyassing the jury was
begun

considerable difficulty in securing the
jury proved lrue. and after seven dvc
jurors had been examined only one

GOVERNOR JonN \. JOHNSON.

The nation mouyns the death OF
Governor John a. Johnson While
yet young man he had won for HIM
self a distinction which incites ma
t.onal pride, and both parties alae
unto in praising this great man.
For rocr consecutive terms ne mad
been elected Democratic Governor
Of an overwhelmingly Republican
State. Such man must have been
possessed of rare qualities both of
mind and heart. lie was what is
known as the self-made man. step
by step he fought his way from the
mott abject poverty TO the highest
honor in the gift of his native state.
40 better example of American man
hood can be recalled than John A.
Johnson.
He would undoubtedly have been
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent had he lived till 1912. The ma
ton will deeply regret that a career
so brilliant did not live to reap
higher attainments.
Whether as mere boy supporting
his poverty stricken mother, a poorly
paid clerk in a drug store, editor OIL
statesman, he exhibited those rare
qualities which distinguish the idea
American. His life is brilliant ex
ample OF what may be attained
through honest and courageous de
termination.
He was man of rare executive
ability an accomplished speaker
and good writer man who
would do credit to any assembly OF
men. The mother of John A. John
son was a washerwoman who up
ported her little ones by this menia
service. AS boy he gave mis- meagr,
earnings 10 The support of his goo,
mother.
At the age Of II ne left school an,
worked for a livelihood He acquire,
his education at spare time. \
length his rare qualities were recog
nized He was Democrat I'm a stat
where Democrats were hardly recog
n.zed. Blu, his superior qualities wer,
admired despite the fact that Dee wa
