E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, JANUARY 13. The - question of tariff revision is coming str'ongly to the front once more in national affairs. 'President Roosevelt has determined to have an extra session of congress at some time in the present year, and it is understood that the cause of his de termination is a desire for the revis ion suggested above. There will be some hot times when that old tariff question comes up for discussion by the republican congressmen. They state that there will be no "split" but it is understood that there will be some very decided and strongly ex pressed "differences of opinion." Both Stoessel and Nogi have been The 2ubjects of universal admiration since the full story has come out of the defense and attack of Port Ar thur, and a generous meed of praise has been apportioned by the world at large to both conqueror and conquer ed, but mixed with the admiration, it is suggested-. by Collier's Weekly that there was a general hope that the fall of Port Arthiir 'might herald the ap prachf peace. The hope may not .be.altogether unsounded, but it is suggested- by many military critics and students of the war that, under the existing conditions, Russia would be more likely to make concessions and sue for peace directly after a Russian victory of moment than af ter a severe Russian defeat. The thing which galls Russia most is the loss of her military prestige. Let this be regained by a decisive move ment crowned with victory, and Rus sia will be more likely to submit, for her soldiers and leaders are heartily slc* '6f the war, 'and the strongest glotive they. now - can--pos sibly have for a continuation of the struggle .is !their desire to regain their position and" dignity in the eyes of the world.kJ7ill'hts~ :j aonf5ish ed, by Rissani victory or otherwise, it will be a. difficult matter to per suade the stubborn muscovites to view affairs in an even moderately reasonable -light. Bryan and Taggart. Lafayette, Ind., January ro.-Sev-I eral nationa'l~'leaders of the demo cratic party and many more promi nent state democrats broke bread to night at -th's eighth annual banquet of the-Jackson club, held in honor of ~the memory'of Andrew Jackson. Fol lowing the feast there were addresses in which Win. J. Bryan received the largest -share of applause, but Nation al Chairnian - Thomas Taggart was also accorded an ovation. A letter1 of regret was received from M. E. Ingalis; president of the Big Four railway, who suggested an income tax as a proper solution of the pro blem of taxation. Mr. Taggart said in part: "I received from the executive committee not only earnest and loyal co-operation, but from every mem mer, at all times, courteous and con Isiderate treatment. There was never the slightest friction nor an unpleas ant incident occurred between any member of that committee and my-! self; nor was there ever the slightest attempt on its part or on the part of any member to usurp any of the1 functions of the national chairman. The national committee had not only the co-operation of the executive committee, but the earnest and loyal support of evety state and county chairman and precinct committeeman throughout the United States. While our committee solicited no money for corrupt purposes it had ample means for the legitimate purposes of the campaign. "But wvith all this-an apparently compact organization, a candidate )roachable-ample means for all le gitimate purposes, all the literature :hat could be used and with the coun ry ablaze with unsurpassed oratory, we encountered a political reverse, almost unparalleled, a di--Lster caus -d by hundreds of thousand of dem crats failing to vote and by many others voting the opposition ticket." Mr. Taggart reviewed briefly the last four presidential campaigns. Of the 1904 campaign he said: "The results prove that a very large proportion of the democratic voters were not satisfied with the work of the national convention, and on election day they made their pro test. Still I do not believe that any candidate on any platform could have been elected. There was no objection to Mr. Parker's personal ity, but those who were in the battle of 1896 felt that they had been called upon to retreat rather than to ad vance, and declining to retreat re volted." Mr. Bryan said among other things: "President Roosevelt is just now entering upon a contest for the reg ulation of railroad rates and the dem ocrats ought to heartily support him in the position he is taking. If with democratic assistance he succeeds in securing more strict regulations of the 'railroads engaged in interstate commerce, the public will receive the benefit and the democratic party will share in the credit. If, even with democratic assistance, he fails, the democratic party will profit by the educational work which he is doing and the railroad question will be made still mare acute. While I am anxious that * the virtue of -govern ment supervision and regulation shall be fully tried I find myself inclining to the belief that public ownership is the only permanent cure I believe that the federal ownership of the trunk lines and the state ownership of the network of local railroads will furnish a solution of the problem." The most liberal man will occa sionally drop into a spirit of parsi mony. Women create the impression they possess m.eans by the show they make in attire. The man who- sounds his own praises continually has no time to listen to the praises of others. O'Rouke-'Tis queer, but whinever I feel in.me pants. for me knife 'tis always in the other pocket.
