PRESIDENT TAFT WILL HARDLY
HAVE TIME FOR CUSTOMS
ECONOMY.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12-There
has been SO much kicking at the
White House about the proposed Gus
toms reorganization. now being
brought to form in the treasury de-
partment, that President Taft is quite
likely TO let this knotty and pcrplexinA
problem go over to his successor IN
office. Just three weeks today the
new president will be sworn IN
Secretary MacVeagh has not ap-
proved the plan of reorganization cub
mttted to him, and IT. will be some time,
before he rs able do So President
Taft will have little time left to sift
out all the facts and go over the
whole customs map of the country TO
determine whether the treasury Is
right or wrong
Therefore he will most likely put
up to the DE- mocrats the problem of
saving to the treasury at least $1,000
600 year in costs and salaries in the
customs department
Every effort to bring about con-
solidation Of ports into districts and
the adjustment of unnecessary fed

position at the treasury and at the

There is no one thing in months
that has caused so much protest at

Where Our Salty Lies.

Editor or The kirganian
Sr,--From the Richmond Tirginian: The
safety Of this country from foreign aggression Is
not dependent upon trained soldiers and large
armies and navies. 1t is safe because, in spite
CT military unpreparedness. citizens are
capable of becoming good soldiers In time, and
because wars Of modern days are fought with
money and We have the money The wealth of
the United States and the knowledge all the
world possesses that while we cannot whip cre-
alton we can in the end emerge victorious from
any war with any two powers in the world, is
our guarantee of peace. No nation on the globe
will go to war with the United States unless
compelled TO do Whether they to be
compelled to do it depends upon and we
have no intention of doing anything of the kind,
although to hear the talk of some Of those
whose living is dependent upon the prospects of
war it might be assumed that we want nothing
more than the chance
Hail to the man who properly appreciates the
power and resources of his country and dares
to go on record with his views. 1t is just the
talk which T.. in my febla way, give back to
the satellites of the navy league the armor
plate ring and the shipbuidns combine Drop
out our menace in the Pacific and there is no
nation for which II would not be madness to
go to war with U.S. with almost imtable
resources and magnificent isolation.
