TAFT APPOINTS KNOX
Former Attorney General An
nounced as Premier of Cabinet.
PBESIDENT-ELECT WELCOMED
By August xns—Lest no Time in Inspect
ing Golf Course ard Pronounced
Them Fine.
Augusta, Ga. William H. Taft,
president-elect of the United States,
announced the appointment of United
States Senator Philander C. Knox of
Pennsylvania as secretary of state
in his cabinet.
The announcement followed the re
ceipt by Mr. Taft of a telegram con
veying the information from Mr.
Knox that he would accept the pre
miership of the Taft cabinet. Mr.
Taft, without delay, made the an
nouncement that the matter was set
tled.
In giving the details of the nego
tiations, he said that the offer was
made to Mr. Knox in New York; that
since the offer he had not heard from
Mr. Knox until the telegram he re
ceived upon his arrival here.
“I feel that I am to be congrat
ulated in securing the service of Sen
ator Knox in my cabinet,” said Judge
Taft, in making the announcement,
and making the statement with the
understanding that he was to be quo
ted. ‘‘ln selecting a secretary of
state, I wanted first a great lawyer,
and, second, a man who would fill the
public eye, not only here, but abroad,
as a man who stands out pre-eminent
ly as a great American.
‘‘Mr. Knox was a great attorney
general* he was a prominent candi
date for the presidency, and is rec
ognized in the senate and elsewhere
as one of the great lawyers of that
body.”
Judge Taft also feels that from a
political viewpoint the selection of
Mr. Knox is most happy. He explain
ed that there was often a feeling that
the state of Pennsylvania, with its
assured republican majorities, often
was slighted in the matter of recog
nition in the high councils of the
party.
Senator Knox’s first appearance as
a national figure was when he en
tered the cabinet of William McKin
ley as attorney general, in 1901, to
succeed John W. Griggs of New Jer
sey. He was continued in the same
office by President Roosevelt, and
continued to serve until he resigned
in 1904 to accept the appointment of
United States senator from Pennsyl
vania. „ .
The arrival of the Taft family in
Augusta, with the exception of Miss
Helen, who is to reach here later,
caused no small amount of joyous ex
citement and demonstration on the
part of the residents of the city. The
reception accorded the president-elect
was ample in expressing the feeling
of cordial southern hospitality.
Judge Taft lost no time in getting
out to the golf course, and pronounc
ed it much to his liking, although he
said he would have to get familiar
with the sand greens, which were a
little difficult after his play on the
grass.

LATE NEWS NOTES.
General.
Ascending in an airship in order to
be able to scatter money among the
people with more quality is the ex
perience of E. E. Oscar Hart, a min
ing man of Skiddoo, Caff. At an
amusment park in Los Angeles, Cal.,
Hart ascended for twenty minutes in
an airship while he threw handsful
of money to a crowd of two thousand
people below. He is said to hate dis
posed of a considerable sum. .
With two hundred and sixty seal
skins taken nearer the south pole
than any sealers have been before,
the sealing schooner Agnes G. Dona
hue has arrived at Dunban, South Af
rica. The Agnes G. Donahue
left Halibax, N. S., September 1 on
what is to be the longest scaling
cruise ever taken.
Arrangements have been made
looking to the establishment in Pe
kin, China, of an American branch of
the International Banking corpora
tion. This is the first American bank
in the east to join the group of Brit
ish, French, German and Japanese in
stitutions which has been in exis
tence here since 1902. The purpose
of the Pekin branch is to test the op
portunities for American capital, es
pecially in connection with the devel
opment of Manchuria.
‘‘lnsanity grows three times as
fast in proportion as the increase in
population in the United States.” Dr.
David Paulson, president of the anti
cigareet league, made this statement
in Chicago recently. ‘‘China,” he con
tinued, “used twenty-six grains of op
ium last year for every man, woman
and child. The United States used
fifty-six grains. There are at least
one million opium users in this coun
try.”
The people of Chicago are suffering
from melancholia because they have
too few amusements and too much se
verity in life* They ought to get all
the wholesome fun possible out of
life. This was the view expressed
by the Rev. Johnston Myers, in an
address to Baptist ministers of that
city. The speaker made a plea for
the theater, the dance and a more
tolerant application of religion.
The city council of Bessemer, Ala.,
has included an item in the annual
license schedule of that city imposing
a tax of SSO a year on bachelors over
the age of thirty.
Washington
Under authority of the recent Riv
ers and Harbors Congress convention,
Representative Randsell of Louisiana,
has announced the appointment of a
committee to prepare measures to be
introduced in congress providing for
an issue of $500,000,000 bonds for
financing the national waterway pro
<%ts and to create a commission to
investigate the waterways here and
abroad.
It is not feasible and desirable at
the present time for the government
to purchase, to install or to operate
pneumatic tubes. This is one of the
most important conclusions reached
by a commission appointed by the
postmaster general to inquire into the
question of the feasibility and desir
ability of the government purchasing
and operating pneumatic tubes in the
cities where the service is now in
stalled, which was transmitted to
congress by Postmaster General Mey
er, the conclusions of which he ap
proves.
Secretary Strauss has referred to a
special committee in the department
of commerce and labor the advisabili
ty of calling together important la
bor leaders, publicists and directors
of big industries to consider several
questions of importance throughout
the country. He suggested that the
meeting be held at the department of
commerce and labor about January 2.
An order has been signed by Post
master General Meyer advancing two
hundred fourth-class postoffices to the
presidential class, effective January 1.
Postmasters of the presidential class
are allowed salary of from SI,OOO to
$1,500 in place of the fourth-class
stamp commission.
The president has sent to the sen
aate the following nominations: Mem
ber of the Isthmian canal commis
sion, Lieutenant-Colonel Harry F.
Hodges, corps of engineers. Captains
to be rear admirals: William P. Pot
ter, Newton E. Mason. Register of
land office: Harry H. Myers, at Lit
tle Rock, Ark.
In his report to General Marshall,
the chief of engineers of the army,
Captain G. R. Lukesh, who was sent
to Pine Bluff, Ark., to ascertain
whether additional funds are neces
sary for the work at that place on the
Arkansas river, says the balance of
the $19,000 fund available at the be
ginning of the present emergency is
insufficient for the protection work
needed for the safety of Pine Bluff
against the high waters of the com
ing winter.

to its opposition to discontinuing its
