Is said to stand wet weather remarkably
well and to be an ideal road in dry wealth
er.
In many counties Of Georgia sandy roads
in dry weather become very heavy and re-
tard travel very much. According to Judge
Eve. who has had to deal with roads Of
both kinds. equally good results can be
had by sanding clay roads.
Georgia has large areas in which either
sand or clay causes great trouble for the
roads. A plan that win use one Of these
materials TO neutralize the bad effects of
the other should be OF great benefit to the
public.
Road work has been done well in Rich
mond county. and the logical result Of Inn
proved farm values has followed.
Judge Eve says; Before 1850 many
acres OF land for several miles along our
roads were uncultivated. Now they are in
a high state OF cultivation. and land val
ues have handsomely increased"
The plan Of road making IN both sandy
and clay regions that has been so sue
cessfully applied in Richmond county has
been used with fine results in several
South Carolina counties. and there are
many localities in Georgia where IT could
be very probably adopted.

RESTRICTIVE LEGISLATION.

II seems to be certain that the attempt
to assassInate the president will provoke
both national and state legislation against
certain tendencies and habits that have
been permitted to grow to dangerous
extent in this country.
The establishment of additional bar
riers against immigration may be ex-
pected.
During the last ten years the proper
ton of arrivals from countries which send
US the least worthy and most turbulent
OF all our immigration has increased
steadily, while the immigration from En-
gland, ireland and Germany has de-
creased. The stream Of population that
flows into our ports from all parts Of the
world must be more carefully analysed
and every EFFORT to purge it Of its poison
Gus elements should be made.
The proposition to exclude all anarch-
fists who come to our shores and to deport
those who have taken up their residence
here Is sound and saIutary. but there are
dificulties in the way that will be hard
to overcome.
How shall we be able to segregate the
anarchists?
Many of them are respectable in APP
pearance and able to meet the require
ments Of anti-pauper regulations. Among
them are highly educated persons and
their organizations are formed and con-
Quoted in profound secrecy.
But much can be done to reduce the
danger and contamination of anarchist
influences.
Persons who have become notorious
for their anarchistic principles and sym
pathies can be excluded or expelled. An
archist pow-wows can be broken up and
those who participate in them prosecuted
and punished. Anarchist organizations
against wnach conclusive evidence has
been obtained can be scattered.
The blatant anarchist who openly pro-
GAINS his infamous doctrines can be
sileneed. There should be no squeamish-
ness about the right of free speech.
There are limits to liberty OF speech,
as there are to the liberty of action. The
man who endeavors to incite others to
murder. arson or other crimes is prompt
~ dealt with either by the law or out
ragged public sentiment. The anarchist
who proclaims war upon government and
society should be dealt with no less Sc
verely.
The difference between liberty and L.
cense should be kept constantly in view
and wherever the former degenerates
into the latter it should be crushed. The
anarchist has been permitted to feel too
much at home In this land. 1t is time
not only to tell him in the most emphatic
terms that he is not wanted and will not
be tolerated here. but to make. him feel
that this is true.
II we can get the right sort Of legisla-
ton there will be presented many oppor-
tunities for giving impressive object les
sons that will have their effect even upon
anarchists.
A war upon anarchists can be carried
on In a way that will make them much
scarcer here where they have had too
free swing and have become so bold
and defiant.
We believe that the cary future will
see some wholesome and effective work

MAY DISPLACE COAL
TELLS. OF POSSIBILITIES
OF OIL
LARGE SAVING CAN BE MADE
Ia Address Before Chamber of COM
merce Many Statistics Are
Cited-St. Paul Is
Interested.

The alluring picture of the manufac-
tories of St Paul using fuel oil and saw
ing at least 80 per cent in fuel bills was
painted by w. NJ. Crooks, of Beaumont,
Tex, at a special meeting of the Cham
her of Commerce. yesterday afternoon,
and the fifty members present expressed
themselves as deeply impressed with the
possibilities of the scheme outlined by
the Beaumont man.
The address dealt with first, the per-
n,anency of the oil fields; second, with
the cost of the fuel laid down in st. Paul,
and lastly with the reasons that should
prompt the merchants Of St. Paul to es-
tablish a transportation line to bring
in the new fuel.
AS to the extent of the field. and the
possibilities OF the supply, figures were
quoted showing that the leading experts
of the Old World had gone on record to
the effect that they believed it practical
~ inexhaustible The daily supply at
Beaumont is now greater than the an
nual yield of the famous BakI fields in
RI ssia. The productive fields extend
several hundred miles northwest, west
and east of the town of Beaumcne.
AT present oil as it comes from the
gushers is worth zOcents barrel in Beau
mort. Delivered through pipes ut Pert
Arthur where the ocean steamers are
taken, II IS worth 81 cents DdrTel ana
delivered in st. Paul. via the river route,
it can be laid down at 20 cents a barrel.
Allowing that the. transportation com
pany charges a profit of 100 per cent,
and sells to users at 81 a barrel. statis-
ties prove, according to Mr.. Crooks, that
fuel will cost less than half what manu-
facturers are paying for steam coal. In
addition to this. taken weight for weight,
the oil has heat producing capacity 30
per cent greater than coal.
A point that has practical interest to
the manufacturing men Of this city is
that of establishing a transportation line
for the purpose Of bringing the oil up by
river Mr.. Crooks thought it could be
done, and that an annual saving of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars could
be made On this point the Chamber Of
Commerce probably will institute an ex-
haustire inquiry in the near future and,
according to prominent member of that
organization it is likely that steps VIII
be taken in the near future which viii
revolutioniZe the fuel problem in the city
The point to be looked into is whether
the contentious of the oil men as to the
economy OF oil fuel is an undisputed fact
and once this has been settled the rest
is easy. as the supply Is conceded to be
ineXhaustibIe.

With many of the city departments
compelled to adopt a system of retrench-
ment because of the unf1exibility of an
eXacting charter, the necessity of amend
ments that will allow disbursements in
keeping with the steady growth of st.
Paul is becoming more apparent every
day, and already steps are on foot to
have such enacted for presentation to the
voters at the city election next spring.
The legal department has been cogni-
zant of this fact for some time, and is
now in con ultation with the various de-
partments ascertaining their desires in
this respect.
In the engineering department the cur
tailment of funds is probably being felt
more than any other department in the
city, and already improvements that are
in manner an absolute necessity are
compelled to wait until more money be-
comes available. Should the city be de-
vastated by a storm, or suffer calamity

nothing cou,d be done to repair them.

TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
N. p. APPEALS IFS CASE AGAINST
ABNER TOWNSEND.

The Northern Pacific Railway company
has filed notice in the state supreme
court Of an appeal to the United States
supreme court in its case against Abner
Townsend ct al.
In one Of It's decisions in the spring
term Of court the state supreme court
affirmed the judgment of the district
court Of Wadena county, whereby the
defendants were given title to certain
property in Wadena county by adverse
possession. The defendants had occupied
the land which was originally part of
the railroad grant for a period Of fifteen
years. The company commended that the
law of adverse possession could not ap-
ply to the property in question for the
reason that it was a portion of the COM
pany's franchise. The Wadena county
court and the state supreme court held
to the contrary.
