STUDENTS BOMBS
FOUND IN RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 4-What is
regarded as the gravest event in
months. causing widespread fear I'm bu-
reaucratic ranks as well as among all
students in the Empire. was the recent
discovery OF sixteen bombs i'm the in
sutuJe for engineers.
The finding of these bombs is con-
sidered undoubted confirmation of the
fear which has been entertained for a
long time that the majority of students
are supporters of the revolution, and
even The high schools are nurseries Of
terrorism. How difficult IL Will be TO
guard against assassination at the
hands OF students is thoroughly aDpre-
Ciated by the authorities.

God VOL in Pennsylvania.


It is surely not too much TO say that
this body OF substantive legislation
marks an epoch IN the history OF the
practical betterment OF political condi-
tions, not merely for your State, but
for all our States. 1 do not recall any
other State Legisla .ure, which. IN
similar length Of time has to its credit
such a body of admirable legislation.
Let me. however, most earnestly urge
that your Legislature continue this rec
ord OF public service by enacting one
or two additional laws. One subject
which every good citizen should have
at heart above almost all others is the
matter of child labor. Everywhere the
great growth OF modern industrialism
has been accompanied by abuses IN con-
which have necessitated a complete
change in the attitude OF the state to-
ward labor
This is above all true IN connection
with the employment of child labor. In
Peunsylvania YOU have made a begin
ming. but only a beginning, in proper
legislation and administration on this
subject; the law must il necessary be
strengthened and IL must be vigorously
enforced. The National Government can
do but little in the matter Of child Ia
Dor. though I earnestly hope that that
little will be permitted to be done by

few years. and which we intend steadily
and progressively 10 pursue IN the fu-

equal rancor alike by the reaCtiOnarieE
the BoUrbOnE-Ou one side. and by the
wild apostles Of unrest on the other. The
reacti0nary is bitterly angry because We
have deprived him OF that portion Of his
power which he misuses 10 the public
hurt; the agiJatOT IS angered for various
reasons. including among others the fact
that by remedying the abuses We have
deprived him OF the fulcrum Of real
grievance, which alone renders the lever
of irrational agitation formidable
We have actually accomplished much
But We have not accomplished all, nOs
anything like all, that We feel must be
accomplished. We shall not halt. we
shall steadily follow the path we have
marked out. executing the laws We have

as regards many matters OF first-rate
Importance we must rely purely upon
the States for the betterment Of pres

never be put on a proper plane. There
fore I most heartily congratulate the
people OF the State OF Pennsylvania on
what its Legislature. upon what its
government. has accomplished during
this present year. It is a remarkable
record Of achievement.
Through your Legislature you have
abolished passes; you have placed the
offices of the secretary Of the Common
wealth and the insurance commissioner
upon an honorable ana honest basis Of
salary only by abOllSbing the Zee sys-
TEN; YOU have passed a law compelling
the officers and employees Of great cities
10 attend 10 the duties Tor which they
are paid by all the taxpayers, and TO
refrain from using the power conferred
by their OInceS TO influence political
campaigns: you have prohibited the So
licitat ton or receiving Of political as
sessments by city employees; you have
pE law protected the state treasury from
depreciation and conserved the public
moneys for use only in the public In
IeFeSt. YOU have by a law for the pro-
lection Of the elective franchise made
tampering with the ballot boxes and
the casting Of Illegal votes so difficult
as in all probability TO be Improbable;
YOU have provided a primary election
law which guarantees 10 the voters free
expression in the selection OF candidates
for office; you have by law regulated
and improved the civil service systems
OF your greatest cities; and, finally, you
have passed a law containing q provi-
sion which / most earnestly hope viii
in substance be embodied likewise In a
law by the Congress at the coming ses-
sion-a provision prohibiting the officers
of any corporation from making con-
tributlOn of the money Of that COrpO-
ration TO any candidate or any polii-
cal committee for the payment Of any
election expenses whatever.

the building which is owned by
Thomas Hye. It is the notorious
Peoples church property which
Bishop McInturff traded for farm

Boomers Ferry, Idaho.

the stove door was found a hole
about two feet square, all ablaze,

quickly extinguished.

that the fire was discovered, and
