POINCARE INAUGURATED.
French President Takes Up
Reins of Government.
Paris, Feb. 19.?Raymond
Poincare yesterday took over
the office of President of the
French republic from Armand
Fallieres, who retired after
serving his full term of seven
years. Nothing more simple
than the transfer of power from
one chief executive in France to
his successor can be imagined.
President Poincare listened
while M. Fallieres said:
"I transfer to you the powers
of the state."
Then in a clear, solemn voice,
he replied;
"I consecrate myself to the
service of the republic."
The ceremony took place in
the beautiful palace of the
Elysee. No oath of office was
taken nor any oration made.
Just a few courteous sentences
were uttered by M. Fallieres
and these were answered by M.
Poincare.

FARMERS AND A FREE PRESS
There are many who would
hardly presume that the farmers
of our country are wide
awake to the latent dangers imposed
upon the republic by
many of the isms now being paraded
and heralded throughout
the country. But those who
are so far removed from right
thinking have considerable
change of opinion to undergo
before they arrive at the true
state of affairs. It appears that
the rural population is really
more interested in safeguarding
the interests of the country
at large than any other people,
J ?1 J 1!
ciiiu nicy are uevuung mucn
time and thought in this direction.
At the recent convention of
the Farmers' National Congress
in which thirty-six states were
represented by delegates appointed
by the government, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That a free and
fearless press is of such great
importance in safeguarding our
liberties that no legislation
abridging the freedom of the
press should be enacted by
Congress, and that no legislation
should be enacted by Congress
unless it has been duly r? ferred
to and acted on by the
proper committee of both house
and senate."
The greatest trouble that has
heretofore bothered any publication
in this respect has been
the ruling of an executive
branch of the federal government.
The farmers believe that
Congress should curtail these
powers and certainly not enact
any legislation restricting the
publication of any periodical.
The point is, we believe, well
taken, and we may confidently
expect relief in the immediate
future from any intolerable conditions
that may have heretofore
existed.?Augusta Chronicle.

NINE SAILORS RESCUED.
At Risk of Their Lives, Life
Savers Take Men From
Stranded Schooner.
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 19.?Nine
men were rescued from the
foundered and fast going to
pieces four-masted schooner
Montrose W. Houck hv thp Hfo_
savers of Paul Gamiels station,
half-way between Cape Henry
and Cape Hatteras, yesterday
afternoon. At 8 o'clock last
night the schooner was reported
a total wreck, having broken
completely up under the heavy
sea. Captain Colbeth, master
of the schooner, was one of
those rescued.
The rescue was made at the
imminent risk of the life
guards' lives, after they had
tried for ten hours to get a life
line to the vessel and to launch
their surf boat through the
breakers. Time after time the
waves, breaking on the desolate
beach house, overturned the
surf boat, throwing the hardy
life-savers into the turbulent
water up to their armpits. Earlier
in the day they had tried to
shoot a life line across the vessel,
but the Houck was too far
out, the line falling short in
each of the half-dozen attempts.
The Houck was bound from
Jacksonville to Baltimore with
a cargo of phosphate rock. She
was driven ashore by the 30mile
north wind early yesterday
morning. Her plight was discovered
by the beach patrol at
daybreak, signals of distress
flying from the one remaining
mast.
When the crew were taken off
they were nearly exhausted,
chilled to the marrow from the
incessant beating of the icy
water and without food or water
to drink for twelve hours.
The revenue cutter Onondago,
in response to wireless information
sent from Norfolk, arrived
an hour or so after the men had
been rescued.
Shackleton to Go to Antarctic
Again.
New York, Feb. 19.?The i
deaths which Captain Scott and
65 of his men met in the An-j
tarctic will have no effect on the
determination of Sir Ernest
I Shackleton to go south again.
| At a luncheon in his honor on
the eve of his departure for
England, Shackleton reaffirmed
his intention of leading another,
expedition, as there was "still
work to be done" in the Antarctic.
"Human lives are nothing," ,
he said, "if by going forth we |
can add one iota to the sum of
human 1'.owledge." He paid a
tribute t?, Captain Scott and to
Con mooore Charles V'ilkes ol
[teh United States navy, whose
discovery of the Antarctic continent
in 1HI0. has been con-,
; firmed recently by the Mawson
expedition. I

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst AcI
cepts Full Responsibility For
Throwing Bomb Under the
Dwelling.
Cardiff, Wales, Feb. 19.?
"We have blown up the Chancellor
of the Exchequer's
house," said Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, addressing an enthusiastic
meeting of suffra
geues here tonight. "The authorities
need not look for the
women who actually did it. I
personally accept full responsibility
for it." |
Mrs. Pankhurst declared that
if she were sentenced to penal
servitude she would go on a
hunger strike.
"The government will then
either have to set me free," she
added, "or let me die. If I drop
out a hundred women are ready
to take my place."
London, Feb. 19.?The country
residence of Chancel, jr of
it....i ^
???c liAtiiciiuer uavia LloydGeorge
at Walton Heath was
practically destroyed this morning
by a bomb which the police
say was placed there either by
militant suffragettes of their
male sympathizers.
Nobody was injured, as the
residence had not yet been occupied.
An official of the Woman's
Social and Political Union told
the police that the society had
no knowledge of the perpetrators.
"General" Mrs. Flore Drummond,
however, declared the explosion
was "undoubtedly the
work of women." She exclaimed
"It was a fine act and shows
the determination of the women.
I say, all power to all
kinds of militancy in the direction
of harassing cabinet ministers
short of taking human
life."

I shall probably submit
them to the people."
PI T COLLEGE MEN ON
U. S. WAR VESSELS
Washington, Feb. 19.?Approval
of the plan to place college
men on board the war vessels
of the United States during
the summer vacation was
contained in the letters received
by the navy department today
from President Lowell of
Harvard and President Hadley
of Yale. While the department
has not formally approved the
scheme it thas been endorsed
by Captain Charles C. Marsh,
in charge of naval militia affairs.
Captain Marsh believes that
the placing of college students
on board the vessels would
create an interest in the navy
i mil wouia t>e invaluable and
also would bring to the service
many men who would be available
in case of war. He plans,
with the consent of the secretary
of the navy to try the experiment
with at least 500 collegians
this coming summer.

Rug Reasons
Only a few years ago rugs were,not commonly used and naturally
there are reasons for their rapidly increasing popularity.
In the first place, when you buy a rug you know just how
the complete pattern appears. Then, the designs are the most
beautiful of all floor coverings, because the master designers of
the world have been working on them lor centuries, and the
designs of a i^Jg take in whole floor coverings instead of a
small pattern as is necessary in matching a carpet.
Another thing, there/is no troublesome matching or fitting
and no work in putting them down. When you want to taka
tuein up 11 is aone livan instant, so you can clean them as often
as desired instead orf" once or twice a year. Besides, when one
part of a rug bepOmes worn it is a simple matter to change it
around and thai# get the full amount of service out of it. When
you move or want to change them from one room to another
they always fit.
