The st. Paul Pioneer Press calls the
attention of journals which are protest
ing against any state legislation cur.
failing the "liberty of speech" hereto
fore enjoyed by anarchists, as being
CONTRARY to the guarantees of the ma
tional constitution" to the fact that
the constitutional provision is directed
against congressional, not state action.
The states can regulate public speak
ing, printing and teaching to whatever
extent they deem proper for the public
safety. And while no state is at all
likely to take such action as would
materially abridge the citizens ra-
tional liberty, it may very properly,
and without conflict with the constitu-
ton, put an end to such extreme
license of speech and writing by an
archists and other destructive agitators
as put life and property in jeopardy.
Virginia. the home of Thomas Jeffer-
son, who was the foremost stickler for
free speech in an era when an anar-
ehist propaganda was o thing I'M
dreamed of, has now, by the action of
its constitutional convention, so amend
ed its organic act as to omit freedom of
speech" from the states bill of rights
This is quite too radical q step, but it
was taken by practically unanimous
vote, and marks the beginning Of an
era when all apostles of evil will be
held to strict accountability for their
words.

Ex-President Harrison was . firm
believer that the removal Of the popu-
lar sense of injustice was the only real
cure for the discomfort out Of which
class conflicts and disorders arise. The
chief injustice which he believed the
rank aud file Of the people are suffer-
ing from is that caused by the exemp-
ton of the richer people from their
share Of taxation. The "sense OF Inc
quality" he said, In his address on
1.-THE Obligations of Wealth." pro
duces fierce and unreasoning anger,
creates classes. intensifies social diff
ferences. No casuist," he went on,
team draw q sound moral distinction
between the man who hides his prop
erty or makes false return In order to
escape the payment Of his debt to the
state, and the man who c0nceals his
property from his private creditors"
In forcing this point home, he told of a
gentleman Of prominence in q New
England town who had q reputation
for philanthropy, yet had returned for
taxation 100000 worth of personal
property, though at his death his estate
proved to contain $8,OOO,0O0. "This
gentleman" said ex-President Harrl-
son, "who lived in neighb0rly rela-
lions to his fellow citizens, and dis
charged apparently with kindliness all
of the obligations of citizenship, had
been every year of his residence in the
town defrauding his neighbOrs by COM
polling them to contribute to the pub
lie expense share that he should In
honesty and good conscience have dis
charged. He was filching from every
hand that was extended to him in
neighborly confidence. His aims were
of other mems goods" To prevent the
continuance of such public wrongs ex-
President Harrison not only demanded
new public conscience, which recog-
nizes obligations to the state to be just
as sacred as obligations to individuals.
but urged that better laws for the equal
taxation of the property of men living
shall be supplemented by taxes at
death by which the public may recoup
the sums unpaid during life. "If nc
other remedy can be found" he con-
cluded, perhaps the state my declare
and maintain an estoppel against the
claim of any man or his heirs for prop.

disclaimed in his tax returns.-The

kentucky,s Natural Bridge.

Cincinnati Commercial-Tribun
Kentucy's natural bridge in Powell
county, is perhaps the nose unique
freak of nature that the state posses
ses in it's line. 1t is a giant wall of
rock connecting two immense cliffs
rising some 1900 feet above the val
ley below. in the middle of which is
an opening about $50 by SO feet in
width. The approach to this open
ing on either side is almost impassa-
BILE, and can only be accomplished by
strained physical exercise of the most
pronounced character. The country
on the far side of the bridge has new
er been traversed, and there is, in
fact, but one way of reaching the ell
ovation. Once under the bridge of
rock, there is steep decline, and to
reach the top of the bridge narrow
crevice in the rock has to be travers-
ed. Only an ordinary person can
squeeze through the place. The
bridge is visited each year by thou
sands of sight-seers.

Interesting Good Roads Experiment.

Kansas City Journal
An interesting object lesson in
good roads building is to be taught
in April and May under the auspices
OF the National Good roads associa-
ton. This organization has made
arrangements with the Illinois Cen
tral railway to run a special good
roads train from Chicago to New Or
leans. The train will consist of six
fiat-bottom cars and commissary
car. and will have on board members
Of the association. government engi-
neers, road-making machines manu-
factured by different firms, and num-
ber of expert operators. Stops will
be made at Is or 20 places along
the way, where mile sections of dirt
gravel or macadam road, such as can
be constructed for $500, $500 and
50, 900 per mile, will be built. After
the building of each mile section, a
good roads convention will be held,
at which advocates of improved high
ways will make speeches pointing out
their advantages and utility and lit
erature Of similar import will be dis
tributed. The purpose of the scheme
is educational, and members of state
legislatures and other persons of in
fuence will be invited to attend the
meetings and inform themselves as
to the merits of the demonstration.
The plan at first glance may appear
somewhat Quisotic but, in fact, it is
the most practical which the good
roads advocates have yet hit upon.
1t Will be more instructive to the peo.
pie of the country surrounding the
places where stops are made than all
the literature that could be distrib-
uted. Nobody who has ever given
serious consideration to the subject
doubts that the construction of i'm
proved highways would be a source
of direct and immediate benefit to
the people of the townships. counties
or states that put their money into
them. Bad highways cost the farm
ers of this country hundreds of thou.
sands Of dollars every year. They
cause an immense aggregate loss of
time. and wear out vehicles, horses
and men. Nor are the esthetic ad.
vantages of good roads to be lightly
passed over. For pleasure riding or
driving they are Indispensable and
more than pay their way. The diff
Guilty is in convincing those who have
to pay the bills of these facts. Lit.
erature has proved insufficient. There
is not farmer in Indiana, where a
great deal of good roads work has
been done. who would return to the
old regime But the farmers AMI
taxpayers all over the United States
can't go to Indiana to see how the
thing works. The Good Roads asso-
citation has wisely concluded that
since the farmers of other sections
will not go to the good roads, they
will take the good roads to the farm
ers.
1t is said that since their plans were
made public several other railroad
have made proposals to
the officers OF the association that sim
liar experiments be conducted along
their lines. and probably they will be
accepted. The results will be watch
ed with much interest. both because
Of the novelty OF the plan and of the
Importance of the subject.

NOT GUILTY.
Jury Finds Saloons Do Not Violate
the Closing Law.

The jury in the case OF the people
of the state VS.. Charles Casad, which
was on trial yesterday, found for the
defendant The defense took the
line that the evidence was insufficient
to prove that on the day in question
the saloon was open for the sale of IL
quor. A slight difference in the
statements Of two witnesses for the
prosecution ms to the number of per-
sons present was dwelt upon at
length by the attorney for the de-
Tense. There was no direct evil
dence that liquor had been sold on
the Gay In question. The jury rem
dering the verdict was composed as
