PRESIDENT DEMANDS.
 ANTI-ANARCHY LAWS.
Special Message, Shortest Message Vet Sent
 By Him.

Washington, D. C., April g. In one of the shortest messages which he has yet transmitted to Congress, President Roosevelt called attention to that body to the necessity of further IegisIa- tion on the subject of anarchy. With the message he transmitted a report reviewing the legal pha- ses of the question by attorney general Bonaparte. The message of the President Is as follows:
 To the Senate and House of Representatives.
 T herewith submit letter from the Department of Justice, which explains itself. Under this opinion, 1 hold that existing statues give the President pow CT to prohibit the postmaster general from being used as an instrument in the commission of crimes, that IS, to prohibit the use of the mails for the advocacy of murder. arson and treason, and l shall act upon such con l StructlonS. UnQueStiOnably, however, there should be fur ther legislation by Congress in this matter. When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insignificance. The anarchist is an enemy of humanity, the ene- my of all mankind and his is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. '
 No immigrant should be al- lowed to come to our shores if he is an anarchist and no papers published here or abroad should be permitted to circulate in this country if it propagates anarchis- tic opinions.

MINERS AGREEMENT SEEMS TO BE
 REMOTE

Kansas City, April 9.-Less hope prevailed today that an agreement would be reached be- tween the miners and operators in the joint committee which is considering the wage scale for miners in the Southwestern field. When the committee went into session the miners seemed to be just as determined as ever not to agree to anything but a one year scale, while the operators are holding out for a three-year agreement. National President Lewis of the United Mine Work CTS of America, who was expect ed to come to Kansas City in an effort to settle the difficulty, to- day notified the miners that his presence is needed in Eastern fields, and he would be unable to be present.

SENATOR DAVIS
 GUESSED FEM OUT
Stopped in St. Louis on His Way to Washington De-
 ClineS 10 Talk.

The St. Louis Times gives the following account of visitor from Arkansas, returning to his duties in the United States Sen- ate:
 Jeff Davis, United States sen ator from Arkansas, is on his way back to Washington to re- sume his duties in protecting people from the small handful of moneyed men who are trying to get what is left.
 As usual, Jeff Davis is stopping at Hotel Jefferson, but this time he is minus the cane he usually carries. He left 1t with Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Thomas Helm of Little Rock, after the late unpleasantness between the Senator and that official.
 Strange to say, Senator Davis does not care to talk about either the Arkansas primaries. in which his candidate for the governor ship met defeat, or the encoun- ter between himself and Helm.
 Whats that? A reporter?" inquired Davis, when approached Tuesday Well, 1 haven't got a thing to say.
 Now, look here! Pm not go- ing to talk about anything. l don't want to say a thing to a d-d reporter. or to anyone else about anything.
 Some question was asked the Arkansas senator that sounded like an in inquiry as to his health since the Arkansas primaries. Just what the former dictator of Democratic politics in that state said only can be guessed, but it sounded like the eruption of quar- relsome Mount Vesuvius.
 The sounds rolled from one end of the hotel lobby to the others, and reverberated through the corridors in the upper floors, and then, looking around for an avenue of escape, the Senator made a bee-line for the elevator.
 The only means of access was over the telephone. If the man. agement of the hotel finds any thing wrong with the wires con- meeting with room 100 they can attribute it to the warm language that the Senator used on being requested to finish his interrupt ed conversation. y

In answer to instructions from Governor Haskell for Attorney General West to prosecute per sons responsible for the insertion of Whiskey advertisements in a certain daily newspaper publish ed at Guthrie, Oklahoma, letter was sent to Governor Haskell by M West, holding that publica- ton of advertisements of inter- state sales is not pugnant to state constitution. If the transactions, however, are of q purely local na- ture, they can be prohibited, and such would be the case in Arkan- sas, should Arkansas newspapers accept liquor advertisements from dealers on the Texas side of TeXarkana, the Lee bill law would be imperative. The usual Arkansas newspaper, however, is not desirous of publishing ad- vertisements that are repugnant to its patrons, at least such is the case with the Picayune.

We hardly have time to give ''authorative quotations" from science as to the evil effects of whiskey and other alcoholic drinks on the human system, so busy are we kept giving the good news of the advancement of prohibition sentiment and &C., tion.

' It comes to us with terrible force, that turn about is a fair and that their loved ones, who are few in number, comparative ly, should feel the sting of want and suffering awhile so as to bring them to a realization of the terrible suffering they've caused millions of other loved ones. But they will take to heart, for sooner than they think, they will be prospering along other and more legitimate lines.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY LIMITED
The swiftest moving conveyance in the
twentieth century is the one that is run
by water. It turns every wheel on the
track and every wheel in the mill and
factory, draws its power from the brook
among the hills.
Neal Dow pulled the throttle fifty-six
years ago, and the state of Maine was
the first aud only passenger. The liquor
power of the nation has exhausted every
device of the under world to wreck that
train, but it has remained on the track in
spite of every effort to throw the switch,
bride the conductor, drug the engineer
or kidnap the dispatcher, with the little
state of Maine in the forward parlor car,
the cleanest, most enlightened and
prosperous 100000 people under the
American flag. 1t has the most compe-
tent men in public life; it has the high
est average of intelligence and character
to numbers at the national capital; it
has the largest number of depositors; it
has the most money in the bank. 1t has
the largest population in the public
schools; it has the largest number OF
home owners, and the fewest drunkards
and deaths from drink.
Inspired by her example, cities and
towns, counties and states are making a
rush for the water-wagon train. Geor-
gia, Alabama and Oklahoma are the
newest passengers among the states of
the South; Haverhill, Lynn and Worces-
ter among the cities of the North; and
standing in line at the ballot Office is the
church of Christ in every state, rein
forced by the brotherhoods, knights,
unions and declarations, waiting to climb
aboard.

national capital has been completed just

The Paris Town Report.

For the first time in many years, the
town of Paris is out of debt. Now there
has been in years past considerable dis
The statement that the town is out OF
debt is based on the theory that the
size of the town debt is the amount oil
its obligations to pay. As shown by
the town report just issued, there are
outstanding against the town some small
bills which no money has yet been rails
ed to pay, but no town notes Outstand-
ing. Moreover, there is some over
$4,000 in the treasury with which to
keep things running until the new
taxes begin to come in. Notes to the
amount of $4,000 have been paid
during the year.
This is perhaps in general the most
interesting feature of the town report.
The report is somewhat bulky volume,
made 80 especially by the new law re-
curing the publication of delinquent
tax payers, together with general in
crease in volume of business. There are
116 pages within the covers of the book,
and only one of them is blank.
The valuation is shown as 81 1868, 065,
and on this there was assessed tax Of
S31, 307 As, the tax rate being .020S, and
poll tax So 90.
No appropriations have been over
drawn, but there are outstanding snow
bills to the amount of 1920 "a, and town
officers bills to the amount of $3.50 49,,
most of the latter being due to the in
crease of the selectmen's pay by the last
legislature, together with the large col
lections of taxes during the year, with a
corresponding increase in The collectors
compensation. There will also be some
deficiency in the high school appropria-
ton when the present term is finished,
but the amount is not precisely known.
An interesting item is the amount
paid for sheep and hens killed by dogs,
this reaching the enormous total of
1851 so. This does not come out of the
town funds, but under the law the town
has been reimbursed by the state.
The radical laws passed by the last
legislature for the purpose of facilitating
the prompt collection of taxes seem to
have worked we'll in this town. At any
rate, according to the collectors state
ment a year ago, there was outstanding.
at that time in taxes due the sum of
Sl1, 663.22, whereas this year the amount
due has been reduced to S2,655. 90.
Only between and per cent of the
1907 tax is unpaid.

as follows, showing net amount OF
resources over liabilities of S6,04S.19,

The recommendations made by the
selectmen and school committee for this
years appropriations make total of
about $4,000 less than was included in
the recommendations of last year. As
we have now finished paying for the
high school building, which has added
$1,000 90 to the assessment each year for
FIVE years, there seems to be no reason
now in sight why the tax rate should be
any higher this year than last.
