President RooseVelt's Recent Execu- tive Order is Highly Commend
 ed at St. Petersburg.
II IS ACCEPTED BY THE PRESS AS
 4 DENIAL OF AMERICAN HOSTILITY.
It is Also Looked Upon as Marking Change in American sentiment, the American People Realizing thc Danger of Supporting Japan in the Pending War.

St Petersburg. March 15.-President Reoseyelts recent proclamation re- gardng the observance of neutrality by all officials and the abstention from either action or speech which might cause irritation to either Japan CT Rus sia has produced good impression here. The newspapers print prominent ly articles commenting the substance and spirit of the proclamation in the highest terms.
 The official gazette accepts il un- reseryedly as a complete answer to the charges that the American government is hostile to Russia, and declares that hereafter despite any seemingly unto- ward incident which may arise, it will be considered settled once for all, that the American government has taken friendly attitude towards our aims and policies in the far east adding: This undoubtedly marks change in Ameri- can sentiment, the people there realiz- ing the danger of supporting Japan"
 The Novosti halls the suspicious ins- tiatiYe of President Roosevelt in the in- terest of universal peace and good re- lationship between Russia and the United States. saying:
 He yields unlimited power in re- gard 10 the policy of the country, Sec retary Hay submitting to the will of the president.
 The Russ welcomes the proclamation as convincing evidence of more friendly feeling on the part of the Americans for Russia.
 The Boerse Gazette remarks:
 Theodore Roosevelt was the first ruler to respond to the warning cry. issued many years ago by Emperor William, against the yellow peril
 The St. Petersburg Zeitung asserts that the proclamation leaves no further doubt that the United States has a firm intention to observe strict neutrality, and adds:
 Tt bears the stamp of strong and most distinguished personality"
 The papers also make display of denial of the New Chwang report that the United .tAtes intends to support the protest of the commander of the United States gunboat Helena against Russias plan to sink junks at the en- trance to the Liao river, evidently con sidering that this puts an end to the statement which caused a furry here. and that further comment is unneces- sary.

 Blows Over Politics.
EVENTS OF AWeeK BRIEFLY CHRoaICLED
Judge Rowe of Ft. Smith, in Charge to the Grand Jury Scores Violation of the Law, in Both High and Low life-Says Treat all Alike.
Judge Rowe's s Views.

At q law and order mass meeting recently held at Fort Smith il was intimated that Judge Rowe had not displayed the proper energy toward enforcing the law in certain instances. In his charge 10 the grand jury a few days ago Judge Rowe read the list of jury commissioners appointed by him and the grand jurors selected by those jury commissioners since he has been circuit judge. and declared that all were men of character, integ- rity. sound judgment and reasonable information, and that he had a right to presume when their final present ments were made that they had per formed their whole duty, and he had not changed his opinion in that re- speet Judge Rowe then said: Tt is complained that there has been open gambling and Sunday whisky selling This court knows nothing about that. and this court is not public prosecutor nor a process sery- CT, nor an informer, and does not propose to be. If it be true that there have been such violations of law, vio- lators should be punished. Those who sell whisky on Sunday and those who exhibit gambling devices should De punished. There may be more moral turDitude in the man who sells whisky on Sunday than there is in the man who sells q hat on Sunday, but both are equally guilty before the law. No man has the right to hire rigs for Sunday use nor hire men 10 work for him on Sunday. and the professional man as well as the busi- ness man has no right to labor at worldly employment on Sunday want to say 10 this grand jury that under the law dealing in futures is as much gambling as is playing cards for money. I want to say to you that playing progressive euehre for prizes is un .er the law as much violation of the law as is exhibiting gambling devices. When those rich and high up set the example you may expect the lowly to emulate that example. If you will enforce the law you must shoot at high places as well as low"
