l transmit herewith the report of the gov
ernor of Porto Rico sent to the President
through the secretary of state.
For Insular Concentration.
All the insular governments should be
placed in one bureau, either the depart
ment of war or the department of state 1t
is a mistake not so to arrange our handling
of these islands at Washington as to be
able to take advantage of the experience
gained in one, when dealing with the prob
lens that from time to time arise in an
ether.
In conclusion let me express my admira-
ton for the work done by the Congress
when it enacted the law under which the
island is now being administered. After
seeing the island personally, and after five
years experience in, connection with its
administration, 1t is but fair to those who
devised this law to say that it would be
well-nigh impossible to have devised any
other which in the actual working would
have accomplished better results.

CAN TAX INHERITANCES.
New York Congressman Says Nationa
Government Will Find No Bar in
Supreme Court Decisions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dee. IL
UNLESS the supreme court should
change its views there seems no question
but that the general government may
constitutionally impose an inheritance
tax" was an opinion laid down today in
the House by Representative Perkins OF
New York.
Expediency, according to the speaker
was the only question that should be
debated in connection with an inherit.
ance tax.
IF the father harbors the desire that
his descendants should be enormously
rich people in the community, this is 8
vulgar desire entitled to no considera'
tom he said. Certainly it is no ad'
vantage to have daughters if they are
allowed to inherit a sum so vast that ii
becomes a temptation to some worthless
foreign nobleman to marry them.
1T is no advantage to Miss Wander
bilt or Miss Gould that enormous for
tunes attracted the eager gaze of for
eign fortune hunters"

SMOOI MUST GO
SAYS BURROWS.
He Is Not Convicted Polygamist, but
Is Too Close to the Mormon
Leaders,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 11.-Not
directly charging Senator Smoot with
poIygamy, but insisting that the Utah
man should be ousted because he is con-
nected with the polygamous governing
body of the Mormon church, Senator
Burrows today reported the recommen-
dalton of the committee which lnvestl-
gated the case in behalf of the Senate.
Mr.. Burrows impeachment was based
entirely upon the connection OF MIR.
SmoOt with the governing body OF the
church. consisting of the presidency and
the twelve apostles. He referred to
this body as a hierarchy" and said that
it dominates the state of Utah, holding
practically every official position in the
state government.
He cited many instances Of political
interference not only in Utah but ad-
joining states, and quoted at length the
church manifesto of 1896 requiring mem
lers to obtain the consent of the hier-
archy becoming candidates for office.
SmOOt was nominated by the hierarchy,
said Mr. Burrows, and the selection rati-
fed by the Legislature. He went on:
mo more cunningly devised scheme
could possibly be cOncocted to put the
! surch in politics and make it potential
therein than this"
He said that Mr.. Shoots member
Su4p III Slc UOuy "lllCA
inculcates a belief in polygamy, is con-
ceded. 1.-THE evidence is so complete
and overwhelming" he said, las to leave
no doubt as to the truth of the allega-
ton that members of the hierarchy prac-
tice polygamy and are today openly and
confessedly defying the laws of the land
prohibiting such crimes. The record is
so shocking as to challenge credulity.
Plural marriages are performed in Sc
cret in darkened rooms on the highways
remote from habitation."
Coming to the connection of Senator
Smoot with the hierarchy Mr.. Burrows
said:
1.-The vital question therefore, is, can
one become a member of and identify
himself with band of lawbreakers and
yet escape all responsibility for their I'M
lawful acts? Such a contention will not
stand the test of either raw or reason.
IAN organization that fosters and en-
courages crime, desecrates the home, de.
grades womanhood, debauches public
morals, registers an oath Of hostility to
the American nation-I submit that such
an organization is not entitled to have
its representative in the Senate of the
United States"

GORKY MUST LEAVE ITALY
Government Anxious to Please Russia
Radical Press Enraged by the
Order.

ROME. Dec 11.-The Socialist an(
Radical papers wildly attack the govern
ment because, according to their view
it has decided to compel Maxim Gorky
the Russian writer. by kind OF inter
diet to leave Italy.
Gorky has been living quietly AT Ca
pr. He was to have gone to Naples
for the first performance of his drama
Children of the SUM-" which has beer
played over hundred times in st
Petersburg.
To be just, it must be said that thu
government is embarrassed. as the Nea
politan population is very eXcitable. A
repetition of the disorders of some weeks
ago when Gorky spoke at a meeting
would certainly have displeased Russia
and Russia is now negotiating a com
nercial treaty with Italy.

BRAIN LEAKS.

From Bryan's Gommoner3
Truth concealed gives a lie the
right of way.
Successful business men leave
business cares at the office.
Men who have followed the
beaten track usually end up with
out accomplishing much that is
worth while.
When a man starts after some
thing he usually finds it coming to
meet him. If he waits for it he
usually sees it fading away.
If you are so absorbed in your
business that you never think of q
day in the woods, it is a sign that
you are a money worshipper and
guilty of the grossest form of
idolatry.

CHAS. F. COLE FOR STATE SENATOR
Republicans Hold Senatorial Con-

didate For the Senate

At meeting of the Republican
senatorial convention held at Bates
Vile Thursday of last week, Hon.
Chas. +. Cole of Batesville was
nominated for state senator.
Owing to the split among the
Democrats over the nomination of
a candidate for state senator, Mr..
Cole stands good show to be
elected, unless the Democrats can
settle their differences and unite
upon some one man to make the
race.
The district is reliably Demo
cratic, and even in the election of
two years ago, when there was
some detection, the Democratic
nominee for governor received l.
$50 votes in Independence and
Stone counties, against 1880 for
the Republican nominee. In the
congressional election in 1904

FARMER SLAIN BY UNKNOWN PARTY
John Hammons Shot Down i'm His
Field Near Alicia For Pur-
pose of Robbery

Alicia, Aug. 10.--John Ham
mons, whose home was two miles
east of this place, was found dead
in a field on his farm with a
bullet hole in his back.
The only explanation for the as
sassination is robbery, as about s.
which he was known to have had
in his pocket when he left home
was missing when the body was
found. So far as known he had no
enemies, and there is no clue to
the identity of the murderer.
Hammons left his home in the
morning to look over the crops on
his farm. Up to the noon honr
he had not returned, and search
was made for him. At the place
where the body was found there is
considerable open ground, altho
the assassin, it is thought, was in
a thicket nearby when the shot
was fired. Death must have been
almost instantaneous, and the MUIR
dered man probably never knew
who fired the fatal shot.

WILL PARDON ELECTION OFFICERS
Governor Davis Will Pardon Judg-
es Who Turn Down Voters
Without Poll Tax Receipt

The Democratic state central
committee says that voter must
show that he has paid his poll tax
before he can vote in the general
election in September and the con-
gressional election in Novem Der.
The Republican state central
committee holds that while the law
requires the payment of poll tax,
the payment of such tax is not q
perquisite to voting and +. w.
Tucker, chairman of the Republi-
can state central committee, has is
sued circular to the judges and
clerks of election, county election
commissioners and voters, inform
ing them that the only qualitica-
ton for voting is that the voter
shall be male adult, native born
or having declared his intention to
be naturalized, having resided in
the state one year, In the county
six months and in the precinct one
month The Republicans are MAX
ing a strong effort to carry the
Third and Fourth congressional
districts. Two years ago the Demo
cratic majority in the Third dis
trict was only LIP. la the
Fourth district the majority was
1851. By permitting every one
to vote who has not paid a poll
tax the Republicans claim they
can carry both of these districts.
In his circular sent out Mr..
Tucker warns the election officers
that to refuse to allow a man to
vote on the ground that he has not
paid his poll tax incurs severe pen
alties under the state and national
laws. In reply to this statement
of Mr.. fuckers, Governor Davis
has issued statement announcing
that he will pardon any and all
election officers who may be con-
yicted of violating the law by bar
ring the votes of persons who have
not paid poll taxes, at the state
and county elections on the first
Monday in September. Gov. Da
Wis upholds the view of the Demo-
cratic state committee that the poll
tax amendment to the constitution
is valid, as it has not been passed
upon directly by the supreme
court. The governor also points
out the fact that federal Judge
having declared the polltax amend
ment void has no effect on the state
and county election in November.
Governor Davis adds: urge
the election Judges throughout the
state to see to it that this Republi-
can machine shall not deter them
from doing their duty and uphold
ing the law, and | beg to advise
Mr.. Tucker and his crowd that |
will be governor of this state until
the 18th day of January, 1907,
and | will see to it that no election
Judge is punished by the criminal
courts of this state for refusing to
allow any quilted elector to vote
who does not furnish satisfactory
proof of having paid his poll tax,
and if such a thing is attempted /
will pardon the election Judges as
fast as they are convicted. "
