good common sense Of the President. and
are convinced that after all tariff cues
tons will have been satisfactorily adj
justed. business viii start up with a ire
mendous bound. The future for this
country is exceedingly bright. and pros
perity is staring US In the face. Business
men are breathing easier than they have

their interests are safeguarded; that they
will not be treated TO disagreeabIe sur
prises which win upset their business cal
culations and make them Jose thousands

Much has been said about the present
administration being weakened" said
Mr.. Young. This is a great mistake.
Those who contend that President Taft
is weakened have positively another
guess coming, 10 use a popular express
sion. He is anything but that. His pru-
denee and wisdom and foresight are
mistaken for weakness. It will not be
long before Mr.. Tsft's full worth is ap-
preciated. He does not force himself
and does not jump into print unles it Is
absolutely necessary. He seldom speaks,
but when he does speak there is q weight
Of Importance to his words He is prob
ably not as successful a press agent as
other Presidents have been, but he will
have his popular applause before many
months
There is no doubt In my mind" added
Mr. Young. but that Mr.. Taft Will sue
coed himself in the White House, and I
sincerely believe that Mr.. Roosevelt win

to those who want to force him into the
limelight of politics that he has no Presl-
Dental ambitions"
Peter Fl. Butler. OF London. solicitor
Of the British metropolis, was seen at the
Arlington last night Discussing British
politics. Mr.. Butler, who at first posi-
lively declined TO be interviewed. but az
ter while opened up" said: 1T is all
| tommyrot and nonsense TO say that Ire
/ land will ever obtain home rule from any
| British Parliament. The English won't
/ have il; they can't see why the Irish
should have a right to govern their coun-
try any more than the Scotch or the
| Welsh. The Irish are no better than
those people. and they are satisfied. Fan
ey Ireland with a parliament of her
own What would be the next step? We
all understand She would never contend
herself with the administration Of her
internal affairs The first thing ireland
would demand complete separation. That
would be the beginning Of the disinte-
grafton of the British empire. The Eng
lish people understand that Rather than
submit 10 the Irish, the Conservatives
and the Unionists. in short. all those
who are loyal 10 the English sovereign
and British institutions viii come TO the
rescue Of any government whenever there
| seems 10 be danger OF a tie-up on ac-
count Of pressure brought uDon the
party in power by the Irish party.
The German-Irish alliance? What does
It amount to? viii tell you. It amounts
to nothing at all The Irish are willing
10 make an alliance with any nation or race
or person which they think entertains hos
tile sentiments toward England. They are
liable TO transfer their alliance to France
or Russia or Italy tomorrow; It all de-
ponds on the attitude Of those countries
toward Great Britain The Irish are
volatile and unreliable"
That the South needs the labor. that
the colored poole connot supply It In the
quality required TO obtain the best de-
velopment OF that section, that the plant
els, miners, lumbennen, mill owners must
have it, is plain enough, according 10
Robert s. Stanton, OF Atlanta, Ca, who
is al the Raleigh.
The only way by which this shortage
can be efficiently met and fought is 10
try and induce immigrants TO settle in
the sparsely populated districts To 90
this X is not necessary to go outside the
country for labor at all Several hun
dred thousand immigrants are stagnating
in the North Atlantic division OF the
country. either steadily in the cities. or
temporarily in the mills. mines. labor
camps, &c, of the North Atlantic sea-
board. One situation can relieve the
other. If properly handled. Now, the first
thing TO do toward this effect is TO con-
vince the immigrant that he can do bet
ter for Himself in another place than that
In which he herds. The scheme Of ex-
porting bodily a few hundred immigrants
to certain desired district by paying
their expenses there is at best a risky
one unless good care is taken to have
those immigrants feel happy and at home
once they get there. Unless they are
contented you cannot hope for others TO
follow them. It is surprising how news
travels among the immigrants"
''s. T. Jocelyn, of Wichita. was court
stenographer for Judge Pancoast, of
Oklahoma. for several years" said Will
lam 3. ASKS, OF Oklahoma, Okla, who
was seen at the National last night. but
who positively declined TO be drawn into
political talk.
"One time" continued Mr.. Ashs "a
case was being tried before Judge Pan

out through a witness whether there had
been any liquor sold.
