NEW ATTACK ON SOLID SOUTH
President-Elect Taft Addxenei High
School Oirli at Atlanta. 1
TALKS IN COMPLIMENTARY VEIN
Northern Men Kaow a Oooel Thins
and Many Sqnthera Olrla Mar
Come Acroaa the Line to
I.le Permanently. '
AUGUSTA, Gs, Jan. 20-What might be
considered an entirely new point of attack
on tha "Solid South" was made today by
the president-elect, when he put In a good
word for the warmth and ardor of northern
men "who know a good thing when they
see It," In the charm and beauty of touth
ern young woman. Thla lighter vein of
Mr. Taft'a humor waa given vent before
what he termed " bouquet of bright and
charming faces," the students of Tubman
High School for Girls. The songa of the
claas, to which he listened preceding his
brief talk, he declared had carried him off
In enjoyable fanry and his Introduction to
speak waa "a rude awakening."
The charming appearance of the student
body, he said, Impreased him as an en
tirely new nd convincing argument In
favor of the aeperatlon of the aexes for
education.
Mr. Taft sdmitt 'd his point of view had
changed somewhat on the question of
woman suffrage since, when 18. he urgently
advocated that doctrine In his graduation
paper because of the admiration he had for
the Intelligence of the girl members of his
clasa In Woodward High echool, Cincinnati.
When Women Will Vote.
When the trained and Intelligent women
of the country wanted suffrage, he pre
dicted, they would get it, on the very nat
ural grounda that they always get what
they want. But he remarked, in passing the
subject for the discussion of matrimony,
that he did not see the slightest Interest In
the faces of his hearers In what he was
discussing.
Matrimony, aa Mr. Taft said at Athens,
last week, waa not the only future to which
a young woman should look, and no unsat
iaractory acceptance should be made cf
marriage proposals simply to avoid being
an old maid. The great success of many
unmarried women of his acquaintance Justi
fied thla assertion.
"But of course In the south you are
not troubled as they are In Mdssachus
aetts." he continued, "where there are so
many women- that there Is no possibility
that they can all marry and It Is a real
serious problem as to what shall be done
with the unmarried women. Here I know
that the s'tuatlan la different. '
"But. my dear young ladles I did not
come here to make a prepared address. I
came here trusting to the inspiration of the
moment for what your bright eyes and
pretty faces and your charming presence
might bring out of me. I truat I am not
too old yet to yield to the charm of
beauty. T know there la a theory that
we are all cold In the north, but I assure
you It Is not true. I remember while once
In Nashville of making inquiry regarding
a great many families there and I found
that Immediately after the war there were
a great many northern officers who ex
ercised admirable taste end who found
young ladlea of beauty and charm, for
merly on the other side, who were willing,
or who at least . were Induced, whether
willing or not, to become the wives of
northern men, so that It might not be the
worst lot ahould your fate ever carry you
north of Mason and Dixon's line, for we
know a good thing when we aee It."
- Address at Halna Normal School.
Mr. Taft then went to Halns Normal and
Industrial school for negroes, where he de
livered an extended address on the benefits
of Industrial education.
i his school, which was founded by
women. has been for twenty-three
years under the supervision of Lucy
C. lJiney. a negress, and has 700 students.
"That a colored woman," said Mr. Taft,
"could have constructed this great Insti
tution of learning and brought It to Its
present atate of uaefulnees speaks vol
umes for the capacity of that woman.
After reviewing the hardships and strug
gles which the work had entailed, he ecu
Untied: "Therefore I ahall go out of thla meet
ing, deaplte the distinguished presence
here, carrying In my memory only the fig
ure of -that woman who has been able to
create all this "
Expressing the most profound sympathy
for the struggle upwftrd of the negro race,
Mr. Taft remarked, having in mind the
recent utterancea of Senator Tillman:
"I do not think it inappropriate to refer
to seme of the expreetltns that fall from
the lips of men prominent In political life
that are utterly lacking in any eympath
of that kind and that are utterly cruel
and abrupt In their mernlng, If they are
to pe given the meaning that the words
naturally bear. I refer to thoee gentle
men who deem It neceaaary to affirm that
in the Intereat of this country tha negro
race ahould have no education. Now, I
am glad to know and believe that those
men In their hearts do not believe that,
that it cornea rather from a desire to say
something that ahall have a sensational
effect than it does from a real spirit,
was going to aay of cruelty, towarda a
race that deserves from those of us who
are white, all the aid, all the assistance, all
the aympathy we can give them. I know
that you know that those expressions do
not represent the feeling of the great body
of Intelligent white men In the aouth."
Etaeatlon anal Character.
Mr. Taft at once disclaimed a meaning
that education waa everything. It did not
make character. Nor did he mean that a
university education should be universal.
Tha great body of the people, he said, from
necessity earned their livelihood by the
sweat of thole faces. They needed primary
and Industrial training. Happlneas, he as
sarted, waa not to be found In the posses
sion of the luxuries of life, but In the con
sciousness of having done the best you
could under the circumstances. Work
brought good digestion, and this waa no
small matter, aa he could teatlfy from many
banqueta. y
Miaeouri politics waa the subject which
Mr. Taft talked of today with W. If.
Dickey, who not only. Mr. Taft aald. spoke
of the availability of Charles Nagel and
Preaident Sumney of the Flrat National
bank of Kanaas City- for cabinet places.
R. C. Kerens of St. Loula likewise had a
Miaaourl conference at the Taft cottage.

TIbe Story, of Nebraska
The Omaha Bee has planned to publish "The Story of Nebraska," not
the story of the prairie schooaer, the sod house, the trapper or the fur trader,
but of prosperous, progressive, busy, up-to-the-minute Nebraska. Many
of the new and some of the older settled counties have been making prog
ress so quietly that the world at large is not aware of their achievements.
Our objtjft is to bring all loyal and progressive citizens into eloper touch in the commercial and social
relatione, and to work for the development of the natural resources of the state, to foster and build up
manufacturing industries, and by every consistent effort encourage the employment of skilled labor and
improve the conditions of the laboring classes. The story will give only a glimpse, a mere outline. The
reader will be shown among the print just enough to give him a general idea of the state. Its opportuni- -ties
to the dairyman, and its openings to the home maker,1 The free rural mail bot and the telephone pole
are crowding the frontier. The wolf and the wilderness have retreated. If during her early history Ne
braska has surprised her own people, surely a brighter future awaits them.
There will be a little about the towns and cities, just now somewhat
misunderstood and misjudged, and something about the rural districts, the
farm and ihs stock ranch. Here and there will be found a few figures, not
many, just a few, as measurements and for the information of those who
enjoy such things.
It will tell the achievements of a people, who in less than half a century have wTonght ont of a
boundless prairie a progressive, productive state. It will give in brief the new life in the new country,
the swift passing of events, the possibilities of advancement and pleasure. These articles will be fully illus

Meeting; nnd Oratory Tnpped
In Vnllmlted Quantities.
Intermixed with much oratory and the use
of considerable vindication, the ahaking of
fists by some councilmen nd the rising to
questions of privilege by others, the quot
ing from old ordinances and the showing of
the record of votes In the yeara gone y,
and the taking of several votea either by
"aye and nay" or the calling of the roll,
ordinances providing for the collection of
occupation taxes from the several public
service corporatlona in Omaha wero Intro
duced at Tuesday night's meeting of the city
council, read twice and referred to the
committee of the whole.
There are- six ordinances altogether and
they affect eight public service corpora
tions. The principle In aU of them is Identi
cally the same, this being the charging of
ft per cnt tax on the gross earnings of all.
The eight companlea affected are ihe Omaha
Water company, the Omaha Gas company,
the Omaha Council Bluffs Street Railway
company, the Nebraska Telephone com
pany, the Independent Telephone company,
tha Omaha Electric Light and Tower com
pany, the Western Union Telegraph com
pany and the Postal Telegraph company.
Get Off Easily .tw,
The two light companlea are now paying
small royalties, the gas company at the
rate of S cents on 1,000 cuble feet of gas sold
and tha electric light company I per cent
of Its groea earnings. To thla royalty will
be added S per cent of the gross receipts,
should the ordinances pass and be ap
proved. The Independent Telephone com
pany Is paying a small roe-alty, but the
other telephone company, the two tele
graph companies, the water company and
the street railway company pay nothing
for the use of the streets.
Councilman Funkhouser Introduced the
ordinances aimed at tha two lighting com
panies and Councilmen Bridges and Zlm
man Jointly Introduced the other ordinances
aimed at the two telephone companies, the
two telegraph companlea. the water com
pany and tha alreet car company.
Tha flrat fight on the ordinances came
when the clerk had finished reading tiie
title of the firs one introduced, that pro
viding for an occupation tax to be paid by
tha street car company. Councilman EN
saaser moved to lay the ordinance on the
table and Councilman Davis seconded the
motion. Councilman Zimman called atten
tion to the rulea which prohibited this pro
cedure before being read the second time,
and the chair refused to entertain the El
saaser motion.
Many la Oratorical arena.
Councilman Brucker then entered the
arena, and made a fight to have all the
ordinancea referred to the committees. The
councilman is chairman of the railway
committee, to which the street car ordi
nance would go "for decision aa to ita final
disposition." as he put It. Councilman
Davis, another objector, Is chairman of
the water committee. This motion met witi
Instant opposition on the part of Council
men Zimman, Bridges. Funkhouser and
Sheldon, as against oratorical efforts on
the part of Councilmen Davla and Jackson.
A roll rail waa asked for and all tne ordi
nancea were referred to the committee of
the whole for discussion on the votea of
Bridges. Elsasser, Endrea, Funkhouser, Wc
Govern, Sheldon and Zimman. Councilmen
Brucker, Davla. Hansen, Jackson and John
ton voted against referring them to the
committee of the whole. Friday afternoon
of nest week waa set for discussion of the
several ordinancea.
Before the struggle en the (M.-cupgtiot
tax ordinances, the council ratified the
action of the committee of tUe whole In
tabling the Bridgea-Zimman ordinance re
quiring the aale of seven street car tickets
for 25 cents.
City Treasurer Furay sent a communica
tion tn the council calling Ita attention to
the fact that during the preaent year bonds
In the sum 375,0n0 w ill become due and that
the city has no bond redemption fund wit'i
which to take them up. The majority of
these bonds come due April 1, aa follows
Renewal bonds, 1100,000; sewer bonds, S100,
000; paving bonds, $75,000. On October 1
city hall bonds In the sum of $100,000 will
come due.
"in this connection I would state that
purchasers of our bonds cannot understand
why the city has no redemption fund,"
wrote the city treasurer, "and state that In
rase a fund producing at least $f0.000 a year
ia not created and maintained, they -will.
If they bid at all, offer less than hereto
fore." Information was given that State Sena
tor Ransom haa been asked to Introduce a
bill In the legislature to amend the char
ter and give the city the right to create a
bond redemption fund.
Giving as his' reason thai the city has
"no more use for a market master than
a d"g has for two tails," Councilman El
sasfer Introduced an ordinance Intended
to abolish the mHrket house and the po
sition of market master, at present held by
"Colonel" C. Epstein. The councilman
said that the cfflce paid about $9 a month
In revenue and that the market maator re
ceives a salary of tV00 a month.
