Special Message to Congress
Asks for More Stringent
Laws.
STOP USE OF NAILS
Attorney General Holds Much
Can b. Done in This
Direction.


Roosevelt today sent the following
message to congress:
81 herewith submit letter from
the department of justice. which ex-
plains itself. Under this opinion,
bold existing statutes give the presi-
dent the power to prohibit the post
master general from being used as
an, instrument in the commission of a
crime. That is, TO prohibit mail for
the advocacy Of murder, arson, trea-
son. | shall act upon such construc-
ton.
Legislation Needed.
"Unquestionably, however, there
should be furtheS legislation by con-
gress in this matter. When compared
with the suppression of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insignii-
canoe.
Worst Kind of Criminal.
"The anarchist is the enemy of hui
manity, the enemy of all mankind
and his is a deeper degree of Grim
inality than any other. No immigrant
is allowed to come to our shores if he
is an anarchist, and no paper pub
lished here or abroad should be per-
mitted circulation in this country if 1t
propogates anarchistic opinions.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Opinion supports View.
With the message he transmitted a
report reviewing the legal phases of
tho, question by Attorney General
Bonaparte. The opinion of the attor-
ney general embraces discussion OF
the whole subject from many legal
angles. His first conclusion is that
the article in question, which advo
Gates the use of arms and dynamite
in annihilating police and soldiers
that anarchy may prevail, constitutes
"seditious libel' and is undoubtedly
crime at common law"
No Law In Existence.
He declares there is no fedora
statute which makes such publica
-tions an offense against the United
States, and that the federal court:
consequently have no jurisdiction il
tie matter.
That there is full power vested il
congress to make such publications
criminal, the attorney general asserts
and quotes Chief Justice Fuller ant
Justice Field as authorities. The
greater portion of his opinion is de
voted to the question of whether, il
the absence of any legislation by con
gress, the postmaster general has th'
right to exclude such publications.
May Exclude Any Offending.
On this point, his conclusion is
'The postmaster general will be just
fed in excluding from the mails an
issue of any periodical, otherwise en-
titled to the privileges of second clas
mail matter, which shall contain an
article constituting seditious libel an
comseling such crimes as murder, al
son, riot and treason.f In arriving a
the conclusion, the attorney genera
makes clear distinction with refer
ence to the authority of the postal o
ficlals over sealed and unsealed ma
matter.

The Best Tonics.

Every one must have tonics oc-
casionally; there are times when
nothing will pick us up but med
iclne In such cases go to a
doctor without delay.
In ordinary circumstances, the
best tones are to be found IN
sunshine, pure air, regular exer-
else, a healthful diet, and above
all, plenty sleep.
These are medicines great
rivals in building up nerve pow
er; without them it is helpless to
do more than stimulate for the
time. They are remedies which
cause no reaction and build up by
stealing INTO the system to re-
store it's strength and tone.
The pity is that most of US
would much prefer to take the
DOCTORS medicine than to depend
for our well. being on the regular
lty of self, that air, exercise, diet
and early hours demand.

A Modern Joseph.

An exchange tells the story of
a poor worklngmsu who told his
wife, on awakening one morning,
a curious dream which he had
during the night. He dreamed
that he saw coming toward him,
ln order, four rats. The first
one was very fat, and was follow
ed by two lean rats, the rear rat
beng blind. The dreamer was
greatly perplexed as to what eyil
might follow, as 1t had been un-
derstood that to dream of rats
denoted calamity, He appealed
to his wife concerning this, but
she, poor woman, could not help
him. HIS son, who heard his
father tell the story, volunteered
to be the interpreter. "TLe fat
rat, he SAID, sis the man who
keeps the saloon you go to so
often; the two lean rats are my
mother and me; and the blind
rat, father, is yourself"
