AVOID OPPRESSIVE EEGISLA-
 TJOE

Under this caption the Mobile (Ala.) Register presents most timely and appropriate protest against the injustice which is sought to De done retail druggists and com pounders of proprietary medicines.
 The editorial was evoked on ac count of the fight which is being made in the Alabama Legislature against proprietary medicines which is similar to the one made in the Arkansas Legislature, and, if the Alabamians who are in their State law-making bureaus would preserve the reputation of their State for fairness to it's people and to the world, they will kill the bill in just the same way that 1t was done in Mississippi, and as it should also be done in Arkansas.
 The moving spirit in this fight against proprietary medicines is not of the character that gives it the force which is necessary to make the bill proper one for the favor able consideration of State legis lature. WAM
 The spirit which moves the origi- nators of the scheme is that of Nam mon; it is Mammonism run mad, and the promoters of the idea that the formula of proprietary medi- cines shall be printed in full on the packages containing proprietary medicines are prompted by the in ordinate desire of the Mammonites to dip their hands into the pockets of the people and compel them to pay fat price for prescription for every ill or ailment that they may suffer in the course of life.
 As the Register we'll says:
 "The business that is to be regu- lated is legitimate and is complying with the salutary requirements of the national pure food and drug law, and the medicines are in con- stant demand because they are ef fective in producing cures of ill., ness. Do not drive this business out of the State by imposing too great burden upon it.
 We would add to this statement of the case, cnat if this business is driven out, it will increase the cost of living as medicines must be pur- chased by the people and if the of ten-tried and never-failing proprie- tary remedy can not be obtained at the retail store for a reasonable price, the medicine must be obtain ed by means of prescription at a fancy price, ithe cost being ten times as much.
 The Graphic ventures the asser- tion that there is not a member of either the Alabama or Arkansas legislature who has not taken dose of proprietary medicine at some time, in his life and We know that there are very few mothers, if any at all who have not had re- course to these remedies and we doubt that single one of them gave a dose of the medicine to child with single misgiving as to what the result would be. If we are to profit by experience we would say that the proprietary rem edies will do no hurt and they are just as good without the formula printed on the package. It is not the printers ink that works the cure in cases for which the pro- prietary medicine is called into use; it is the contents of the pack age that produces the desired re- suit.

RUSSIA SETS FORTH HAGUE SITUATION Root Receives Note Relative to
 Conference QUESTIONS ARE SUBMITTED Notification That Certain Powers Have Accepted the Programme, With
 Reservations of Two
 Glasses.

Washington, April 4.-Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, today delivered to Secretary Root the Russian circular note relative to the approaching Hague con- ference received by him yesterday from St. Petersburg. The note is in substance a notification by Russia that certain pow CTS have accepted the Russian programme as originally published a year ago with reservations of two classes. One set of powers reserves the right to refrain from the discussion of questions that do not promise practical results, and another set reserves the right to introduce for dis cussion topics not now on the programme.
 Baron Rosen stated that the formal in- vitation to attend the conference would be extended by The Hague government to the various powers within the course of a day or two.
 MT. Van Swinderin, the Netherlands minister here. also called on Secretary Root later in the day. It is not now ex- pectod that June 15 will be selected as the date for the conference.
 The text of the note delivered to Sec

retary Root by the Russian ambassador is as follows:
 The undersigned ambassador of Russia, like Russia, by order of his government, has the honor to make the following com munieation to his excellency the Secre- tary of State of the United States
 Before the second peace conference is called the imperial government deems 1t an obligation to submit to the powers which have accepted it's invitation a state ment of the present situation.
 All the powers to which the imperial government communicated in April 1906, it's tentative programme of the labors of the new conference, declared their ad- herence thereto you.
 However, remarks have been made with respect to that programme.
 'The government of the United States has reserved to itself the liberty of sub hitting ot the second conference addi- tional questions, viz:
 Illumination of armaments and that of bringing about an agreement to observe certain limitations in the use of force in collecting ordinary public debts accrued from contracts.
 "The Spanish government has expressed a desire to discuss the limitation of arm aments, reserving to itself the right to deal with this question at the next meet ing at The Hague.
 'The British government has given no- tice that 1t attaches great importance to having the question of expenditures for armament discussed at the conference and has reserved to itself the right of raising it and also reserved the right to itself to take no part in any question which would be unlikely to produce any useful result to it.
 Japan is of the opinion that certain questions in the programme might be conveniently included among the subjects for consideration, and reserves to itself the right to take no part in or withdraw from any discussion taking or tending to take a trend which. in it's judgment, would not be conducive to any useful re- suit
 "The govrnments of Bolivia, Den mark, Greece and the Netherlands have also reserved the right to themselves in a general way to subuit to the con- sderation of the conference other subjects similar to those that are explicitly men toned in the Russian programme.
 "The imperial government deems 1t its duty to declare. for it's part. that 1t maintains its programme of the month of April, 1906 as the basis for the delib- erations of the conference, and that if the conference should broach a discus sion that would anpaar tn 1t unlikely to
