President Roosevelt to Gov. Sparks.


Washington December IS, 1907.
Hon: John Sparks, Governor, Carson
City. New.
Your telegram December 26 is re.
ceived. 1t, in effect. declares that you
have failed to call the legislature together
lature would not call upon the govern
ment Of the United States for the use OF
troops although in your opinion. it ought
to do So The Constitution OF the United
States imposes, not upon you. but upon
the legislature. If it can be convened, the
duty Of calling upon the government OF
the United States to protect the state OF
Nevada against domestic violence. You
now request me to use the armed forces
of the United States in violation of the
the legislature would fail to perform its
duty under the Constitution.
The state government certainly does
not appear to have made any serious ef-
fort to do its duty by the effective en-
forcement of its police functions. I repeat
again what have already said to yoY
several times that under the circum-
stances now existing in the state of Ne
vada, as made known to me, an appli-
cation from the legislature OF the state
continuance Of the troops at Goldfield
Circumstances may change and II they
do I will take whatever action the needs
Of the situation require so far as my
constitutional powers permit. But the
first need is that the state authorities
should do their duty. and the first step
toward this is the assembling of the leg
islature.
1T is apparent from your telegram that
the legislature of Nevada can readily be
convened. You have fixed the period OF
three weeks as the time necessary to con-
vene and organize a special session. II
within Ave days from the receipt OF this
telegram you shall have issued the neces-
sary notice to convene the legislature OF
Nevada, shall continue the station Of the
troops at Goldheld during such period of
three weeks. II within the term Of five
days such notice has not been issued the
troops will be immediately returned to
their former stations.

immigration Problem.

This problem enters conspicu-
ously into our gubernatorial cam
paign. This is not a new problem,
In ante-bellum times,
during the time of slavery, the
question of bringing foreigners
into our country to help open up
the forests, constitute the main
issue sometimes.
Men of sober, solemn thought,
in those days; men Of sufficient
acumen to see beyond the gener-
alton in which they lived; men
who thought the greatest legacy
they could leave to posterity, was
a free, open and equal opportu-
nity-all these men said no"
They said, like Monroe, ITO
Americans belong America"
And they spoke wisely; for had
the scum of creation been spread
over our fair Southland fifty
years ago, what would be our
race problems today?
They tell us that we are to Sc
lect our immigrants; that we will
not admit a low class Of foreign
ers. That sounds well; it tickles
our organs of hearing; but test
that plan by throwing down your
corn field bars, issuing a decree
as to what kind of stock shall en-
ter your field, and then go on
about your business in other
parts. Your decree prohibited
hogs, but now your field is full.
New Orleans is now establishing
an immigration Station, on Ellis
Island. 1t is actually necessary
to the success of that line of i'm
migration steamers that Missis-
sippi throw down her bars, so to
speak; or rather, extend the hand
of welcome, should our State fail
to do so, very soon the city of
New Orleans will become glut-
ted and those philanthropic (?)
steamers will go to the bad.
We say, go to the bottom of
the seas, fetch up all the wreck
ed vessels and dump them in our
State; then go to the tropics and
bring US ship loads of poisonous
frogs, but keep your Italian la.
borers from us as far as the East
is from the West. Meridian Sun,

Says Weather Was Same in
'58, with Good Crops.

$1,000 AS6S
cial. )-According to Mai. La
mar Fontaine, who has been ex-
aiming some o. his old pIanta-
ton records, the unusual Wea-
Their now being experienced by
Mississippi has not been equalled
since the year 1858, when eli
matte conditions were exactly
similar to those that have pre-.
vailed since the first of the pres
ent year.
Maj. Fontaine says that the
spring of 1858 was an exact du-
plicate of the present season in
Wetness and unusual tempera-
ture; that cotton was planted
and replantedianumerable times
up to the 4th Of June, and on
the 4th of July farmers were
gathering corn to feed to their
work stock. AS there was a
general overflow of the delta du-
ring the sumner the farmers
had to gather their corn in fiat
boats.
"On the 10th Of July, as the
waters receded," says Mai. Fon-
tame, the farmers again plan
ted corn and cotton, and made a
full crop Of each. No frost ap-
peared that autumn, and the
farmers gathered ca~nteIoupes
and watermelon from their gar
dens for the Christmas dinner.
The cotton stalks of 1858,
when left in the fields, were not
hurt by the frosts in the spring
of 1859, but continued to grow,
and as much as 900 pounds lint
cotton per acre was gathered
from this second growth. The
largest crops ever gathered were
from the paintings made in the
middle of July, 1858. Not only
was there no frost that autumn,
but none occurred until March,
1859; and that was a very light
one"
Maj. Fontaine's reminiscent
optimism may have a cheering
effect on the farmers of the state
on account Of his we'll known
reputation as a close observer
of passing events, and they will
resume their work in the fields
with renewed energy and deter
mination after receiving his
message Of good cheer.
The following, where a moral
Is clearly shown, is taken from
an exchange: Recently a church
congregation in a Kansas town
built a new church.. To pay for
it they were obliged to call on
the merchants of the community
for donations. The merchants
responded literally and $500 was
raised from this source. The
last man asked to subscribe was
John Smith, a jeweler. Il will
give you $40 if you will let ME
add something to the subscrip-
ton list" he said. The permits
sion was accorded him, and he
wrote at the foot of the list:
Jno. Smith, jeweler, $4,000
Sears, Roebuck & Co., 00.00
Montgomery, Ward & Co., 00.00
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the
pulpit the list of donors to the
building fund, and since the dedi-
cation of the church there have
been no mail orders sent out from
that Kansas town.
