SOCIALISTS
CALL ROOSEVELT
MORAL COWARD"

At the regular meeting held BY Local ?.
Providence Socialist party. last evening
the committee on the annual excursion re-
ported that all arrangements were wen
under way Tickets were distributes
among the members present. The Mount
Hope is the boat engaged and June 10 the
date for the excursion.
The greater part OF the meeting was
devoted 10 reading from newspapers ar
ticles referring TO the Moyer-Haywood
case and discussing the same, after which
the following resolution was adopted;
,Whereas. The members OF the Socialist
PARTY. Branch 2. Providence, X. L. nav
Ing read in the daily papers tho request
bv the Central Federated Union or New
York 10 President Roosevelt that ne state
specihcally why he had referred 10
Mover and Haywood as undesirable cii"
gems and having read the presidents re-
ply. we claim that the president has not
even attempted TO show specifically why
he had referred To Meyer and Haywood
rs undesirable citizens, and we declare
that until the president does answer the
above question giving specific acts OF
vrongdoing by the accused. or retract MS
false accusation, we consider him so
much a moral coward that he cannot give
q square deal. and
Whereas. The Washington Post OF
April is responsible for the statement
that President Roosevelt upon receiving a
visit from the members OF the supreme
court oct. g. 1906 read To them the letter
addressed 20 Congressman Sherman, I'm
which he characterized the prisoners as
undesirable citizens and
'Wheras. The court had under consid-
Grafton the Moyg and Haywood habeas
corpus appeal and did later render de-
cision which deprived Meyer and HAY
wood of constitutional rights. we believe
that the president did use influence on tho
members OF the court tampered with tho
Jury and we believe that such acts by
the president OF the United States are not
square.
Resolved That copies OF this resolu-
tion be delivered TO the daily press oil
Providence and Pawtucket, with re-
quest that they publish the same.

occurred even in her waking moments. She
saw her teacher walking at her side she saw
herself reading and working at the typewriter.
THE senses of sight and of hearing also
were so firmly established in her mind, that
nearly all of her dreams, according to her
statements, have to do with recollections of
things that transpired in her life before the
loss of these senses. Her experience is more
or less the experience of the other members
of her class.
These dreams are a tribute to the WON
drous power of the eye, which sleep closes so
completely on the outer world, to open so
widely upon the inner world. Even Mr.. Bah
cock, as long as he has been blind, is far more
likely to dream of seeing something, or not
being able to see, than he is to be doing some
thing with the other senses. In the dreams
of these young girls the consciousness of blind
ness has only begun to creep in. Miss McG1rr
said that she sometimes dreamed OF great
blazing fires before her eyes, and at other
times of being shut up and helpless in the
dark vaults of cemeteries. She had also
dreamed of death, dream so common to the
blind, especially those who have become blind
after having fully developed the sense of sight.
She told me one day

the period from 1924 to lS4O the aver

That is, If It's Really Ten Feet Long
err Than the Biggest in the Books.
The length of the biggest of the
three pythOns was a matter of dis
pute between the nautical reporters
and Leopold Stein, the Hagenbecll
agent VINO came over with the con-
strictors aboard the steamship Albano
from Hamburg, says the New York
Sun. Mr.. Stein said that he could not
bring the pythons out on deck as
they were digesting light lunch of
goats and calves that they had sur
rounded the day the ship left Ham
burg and that they couldn't be per-
suaded to uncoil until the next table
d'hOte, three months hence. He
would not venture to say exactly how
long the biggest is, but he was will
ing to make an affidavit that it took
the longitudinal record 1t was in a
box about five feet square and was
probably dreaming Of other calves to
conquer.
The reporters finally decided that
they would let Mr.. Stein pace off what
he thought was the length of the
biggest. He did so, and the ships
carpenters measured the distance and
found it to be 43 feet 5 inches. Mr..
Stein said he would not take off ar
inch and that he was not a nature
faker either. His attention was called
to the declaration of some of the
nature ~Johs that pythons never had
been known to exceed 50 feet in
length. He said that those were the
pythons that the early naturalists
saw. Many things had been discovered
since those day.
