TAFT TELLS YOUNG MEN
OF SOUTH TO ENTER POLITICS
Reviews Work Of Last Congress in
Speech Before Southern Com
mercial Congress.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 11.--Presi-
dent Taft, In speech before the clos
Ing session the southern commercial
congress last night, made plea to
the young men of the new south to
take up the political issues of the
day from broad and liberal stand
point and to eliminate from their con
sideration all narrow partisanship
and sectionalism.
Come fully into ur national COM
munion," said the president, . with
the patriotic purpose OF stimulating
the progress of our civilization in "
cry right direction, maintaining our
country's prosperity and accumulat-
ing its wealth, but always In sub
ordination to higher ethical standards
and TO the promotion OF righteousness
and justice"
The president reviewed the achieve
ments of the sixty-first congress, de-
claring that in it's three sessions just
closed, II had enacted more helpful
legislation than any congress since
the civil war. Mr.. Taft asserted the
greatest accomplishment OF the short
session, ended March 4, was the rati
fication OF the Japanese treaty. The
greatest disappointment, he said, was
the failure of congress to ratify the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
In the hope, perhaps, that tariff
legislation, may be avoided at the ex-
ira session, the president pledged
himself TO furnish to the Democratic
house at it's regular meeting In De-
cember next, a report from the tariff
commission on schedule X OF the
Payne-Aldrich act, the wool and wool
ems schedule.
He said the sundry civil bill. car
rying the appropriation for the tenn
porary tariff board, provided the
board should devote itself to the wool
and woolens schedule, schedule that
has not been changed for 80 years,
and make a report by December.
President Taft does not expect the
sixty-second congress at the special
session which he has called for April
4. to take up any important legisla-
ton except the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. The president believes a
majority OF the new congress will
favor reciprocity, and he thinks II
will be passed regardless OF party
lines.

courthouse and the prisoners were

To nip in the bud any attempt to as

prisoners, forty soldiers surrounded
the cage the moment the prisoners
entered II. Each soldier sat with a
carbine resting on his knee. Only the
prisoners counsel were permitted TO
speak TO them.
