Speaking for the incoming ad-
ministration! wish to say that I
propose to devote all the energy
possible and Under my control to
the pushing forward of the Pan-
ama canal and to stand behind
the men who are building it.
The negroes are now Ameri-
cans. . . . We/are charged
with the sacred duty of making
their path as smooth and easy as
we can.
As to the issuance of injunc-
tions my convictions are fixed.

to an icy morass six Inches deep
in half frozen slush.
Instead of kissing the bible
under the open skies in the pres-
ence of a vast gathering of his
fellow countrymen, President
Taft took the oatTTin the senate
chamber and in the presence only
of the two houses of congress,
other dignitaries, and - a few
visitors who had secured places
in the senate gallery7*
There also he delivered his in-
augural address and the thous-
ands who had waited outside in
the plaza knee j&ep in slush
caught only a glimpse of his face
as with his wife his side he
started on his drive back to the
White house.
Not since Andrew Jackson's
second inauguration in 1833 had
a president taken the oath in the
senate.
Washington and Spoiled the
every telegraph and telephone
wire, practically stopped the
train service, and cut off the
capitol citv as completely from
the rest of the world as it was in
the days of Andrew Jackson,
when a man on horse-back
galloped away to carry the first
news of tfie -inauguration of a
new president. / ,

tj&y,
X should be ufitrue to, myself,
to my promises and to the decla-
rations oftheparty platform on
which I. was elected if I did not
make the maintenance and en-
forcement of my predecessor's
reforms a most fmp^i^ntfeature
of my administration.
Combinations of capital and
effort based on legitimate econo-
mic reasons -are right; those
formedwfththe intent of creat-
ing monopolies and artificially
controlling prices are wrong.

Our international policy is to
