GOODWIN AFTER NEW HONORS
Craok Distance Swimmer Will At *
tempt to Swim English Channel ,
Great Interest has been aroused over
the nnnouncemcnt that Hud Goodwin ,
the crack distance swimmer of thu
New York Athletic club. Intends to at
tempt to swim the English channel In
1IM1. This feat has been credited only
BUD GOODWIN
to one man , and mnny contend that It
was never accomplished.
Speculation Is rife , of course , as to
the chances of Goodwin succeeding In
his arduous self Imposed tusk , and
opinions are fairly divided. Some
claim that he Is fitted in every way for
the long , punishing grind ; others claim
that his stroke is entirely too rapid In
action to bo held over the trying Jour
ney.
ney.There
There can be no question that Good
win has the speed ami the endurance
to succeed , and , as to his power of re
sistance to the ravages of a protracted
low temperature , all he has to do is
allow himself to grow plump to face
almost anything. It Is only by hard
and constant work that he keeps down
his weight.
As to his stroke , It can undoubtedly
be Improved , and It will be. Slower
action and a longer run will do It. nnd
Goodwin knows his one weak point.
With a whole winter before him to
practice Indoors under competent
coaches he should be able to ncqujro
perfect form , so there Is every hope ot
seeing Ondc Sam get the nonors
channel swimming.

Notes , Etc. , Are Exempt.
The increase in Madison county ns
sessments does not include bank
stock , notes and mortgages that were
given in at their face value. Likewise
there will be no Increase on the Indl
vldual whose assessment had already
been Increased personally by the as
sessor.
Those facts were brought out by In
qulry of a Norfolk man who tele
phoned County Clerk S. R. McFarland
regarding the matter.
Some of the taxpayers In Norfolk
who had given In notes and mortgages
etc. , at face value , to the assessor
were considerably wrought up when
The News came out yesterday , show
Ing that the board of equalization hai
raised Norfolk's assessment 25 per
cent. They pointed out that wher
they had given in a note at face value
a 25 percent Increase was puttln
more value into the document tha
was there. So they felt relieved who
they telephoned and found out tha
this class of property , when given I
at face value , was exempt from the In
crease.
TRADING IN STOCKS IS DULL.
Effect of Injunction Against Railways
Subsides.
. New York , June 26. Exceedingly
dull stock markets with narrow but
generally firm price movements form
ed ample evidence last week of thq
subsidence or excitement stirred up by
the government's Injunction proceed
ings against the western railroads. It !
has come to be recognized generally
that with all the preliminary fuss out
of the way , the future of railroad investments
vestments has narrowed down to the
workings of the "railroad bill , " and
al the pros and cons of this measure
therefore , absorbed to a large extent
; the Interest and attention of the fi
sinanclal ! community.
,1s President Rlpley of the Atchlson
T. continues to represent those who are
pp ] certain that Irretrievable harm will be
H. worked to the country's roads , but 11
In- must bo said that railroad executlvoj
of of his way of thinking are either con
to tent to await hopefully the outcome

he or feel assured that In Its constructloi
Ir. of the terms of the new bill and Iti
nd resultant dealings with the railway
1st the Interstate commerce commlssloi

illUntried as the provisions of the ill
ice nro , It Is not surprising that conserve
ho tlsm has ruled railroad circles , matte

re- subject to review nnd long postpont
Ie , ment at the hands of the commission ,
red This power which the commlsslo
imt has to hold up rates for ten montli
fill under the terms of the bill Is natura
to ly objectionable to railroad official
aw , but It would seem that the senslbl
ers view to take of this matter Is that tli
nrd commission will oxpedlate Its Inve
Satlgation wherever possible and thi :
unnecessary delay In arriving at co
jsa- elusions must prove public sontlmei

Taft's Achievement.
Washington Post : The wisdom of
President Taft's policy ot conciliation
s being exemplified very clearly In
ho last days of the Sixty-first con
gress. Without the blare of trumpets ,
he president has accomplished the
bulk of his legislative program , and
egulars and Insurgents arc now join-
ng together In praising his achieve-
ncnt.
There nro many persons who thought
hat President Taft had made a great
nistako in outlining so definitely what
10 hoped to accomplish In the course
of the Sixty-first congress. Had ho
not expressed such great hopes , it was
lolnted out , he would have been in a
lositlon to claim a victory , even
; hough only a few good laws were
enacted.
Periodically it was declared that the
eglslatlvo program was hopelessly
blocked ; that this bill or that bill had
jeen dropped overboard , and that con-
ress would pass the railroad bill and
adjourn with half the program lost In
the shuffle. All kinds ot criticism
were leveled against the president for
having bitten off more than he could
chew.
It Is now very evident to friends
and critics alike that President Taft
knew what he was doing. The admin
Istration took no chances. The bills
to which the republican national con
vention pledged Itself were drawn up
;
under the supervision of the president
himself.
With the exception of the anti-in
junction law , every single measure to
which Mr. Taft pledged himself will
be passed before the close of the pres
ent congress. The railroad bill ad
mitted by Insurgents , democrats and
regular republicans alike to be one of
the best measures ever given the coun
try has already been signed by the
president. So has the statehood bill
which brings the number of states In
the union to forty-eight. The conservation
vation measure has been passed by
the senate , nnd will be approved by
the house , going to the president for
his signature in a few days.
All the bills , so frequently said to
have been dropped overboard , have
on the contrary , been piloted safely
Into port , nnd It would seem that the
president could take his vacation with
the consciousness of duty well done.
He can feel that he has given the re
publican party a platform of achieve'
B.O
ment on which It can well afford to
etand in the coming campaign.
