A CONSTABLE IN TROU
BILE.

Monday Constable Carlos Bour-
que and Chss. and Ed. Theriot
of Cade were arrested and brought
here Oh the charge of attempted
rape on the person of young Ia
dy Is years of age at two o'clock
in the morning, going to the house
of the young woman at the time
the father was absent from the
house, the mother of the girl be-
ing dead, she was left unprotected
during the absence of the father.
They were released on the small
bail of $3.50 each, which leaves us
under the impression that the
Judge has heard some other YER
sion of the affair that justified such
a small boud on 90 serious a
charge.

The Fleet on It's Last Stretch.

The Atlantic feet of I6 battleships
began last Saturday the last leg OF
its cruise from Hampton Roads to
the Golden Gate. Weighing anchor
at a o'clock that afternoon, three
quarters of an hour later the ships
were threading their way out of
Magdalena Bay under command of
Rear Admiral Thomas, while the
six black-hullcd destroyers of the
torpedo flotilla gave a parting sa-
lutte to the big white vessels.
An easy journey of 62o miles
brought the fleet to Coronado Beach
Tuesday afternoon. Admiral Thom-
as allowed 69 hours for the run up
the coast, requiring an average of
only nine knots an hour.
When the ships reached San
Diego they had logged 1860 knots
since their departure from Hampton
Roads on December I6. The Con-
necticut has 1910 knots additional
to her credit on account OF the trip
to San Diego, Cal. last week to
bring Admiral Evans ashore and
her subsequent return to Magdalena
Bay.

McHenry's Reelection Public Duty

We most cordially congratulate
the voters of this Congressional dis
trict upon the unanimous renomi-
nation of John G. McHenry as the
Democratic candidate for Congress.
We are not influenced to this ex-
preston, either by partisanship or
partiality. MIR. McHenry is most
worthy and capable man and per-
sonally deserves the compliment
which has been bestowed upon
him. But the reason that his unan-
nous denomination is particularly
'atifying is that it reveals a just
Jpreciation of capable and faithful
scrvice in the past. The failure to
i've thus honored him would have
ken away incentive to fidelity in
public life.
John G. McHenry has proved
himself a peculiarly faithful and
capable Representative of the peo-
pie. From the day of his election
he has been assiduously working in
the interests of the people of this
district. No labor has been too
severe for him to undertake for his
constituents, no service too arduous.
Neither party lines nor class dis
tinctions have been drawn in his
work. Night and day he has
wrought with an energy and intel
ligence thar have commanded sue
cess and he has been as unselfsh as
tireless. When he entered public
life it was with the view of serving
the public and he has never deviat-
ed from that line.
That his reelection is absolutely
certain is subject for public felici-
tation because his defeat would be
an aspersion upon the civic virtue
of the people. In such things there
is an obligation on both sides. The
public servant owes the people hon
est service and that given, the peo-
pie owe him just reward. John G.
McHenry has not only fulfilled his
obligation to the full measure but
he has done more. He has put
into the work an energy and intel
ligence which is rare and effective.
1t remains for the people, now, to
do their part. His unanimous nom-
ination presents the opportunity
and they will do the rest.

A Message on Anarchy.

In one Of the shortest messages
which he has yet transmitted to
congress President Roosevelt last
week called the attention of that
body to the necessity for further
legislation on the subject of anarchy.
With the message he transmitted a
report reviewing the legal phase of
the question by Attorney General
Bonaparte.
The message of the president is
as follows
ITO the Senate and House of
Representatives:
II herewith submit letter from
the department of justice which ex-
plains itself. Under this opinion,
| hold that existing statutes give
the president the power to prohibit
the postmaster general from being
used as an instrument in the COM
mission of crime that is, to pro-
hibit the use of the mails for the
advocacy OF murder, arson and
treason ; and shall act upon such
struct ction. Unquestionably,
however, there should be further
legislation by congress in this mat
ter. When compared with the sup.
preston OF anarchy, every other
question sinks into insignifcance.
'The anarchist iS the epery of
humanity, the enemy of all man
kind, and his is deeper degree of
criminality than any other. No
immigrant is allowed to come to
our shores if he is an anarchist, and
no paper published here or abroad
should be permitted circulation in
this country if it propagates an
archistic opinions.

The McHenry Bill.

After careful consideration of the
various bills before it aimed at ac-
cidents in the coal mines, the House
committee on mines and mining, of
which Representative Huff is chair
man, has decided to report bill
for the establishment of a bureau of
mines under the Interior Depart
ment! The proposed bureau of
mines will be charged with the duty
OF investigating mine accidents in
the various states and devising
means for preventing such acci-
dents by the recommendations of
safety devises for the use of miners
and by all other means that may
be found feasible. The bill to be
reported is the one offered by Con-
gressman John G. McHenry, one
of the most brilliant representatives
this district has ever elected to Con-
gress.

Cabinet Members Threatened.

Secret service men are guarding
the members of President Roose-

General Meyer, who recently sup

threatening letters and his home is

Revising the Tariff.
April 9, 1908

If the Republicans win the com.
ing election, the tariff will be re-
vised-raised by it's friends, of
course-and revised upward and
downward. as the needs and the
avarice of the protected interests
will dictate. There'll be a deal of
fun when it is done. Dalzell will
be there to see that there is a fair
revision of duties on steel and iron
products and glass. Allison will
be there to see that there is a fair
revision of the duties on hides,
horns and hog products. Aldrich
will be there to see that there is a
fair revision of the duties on cotton
fabrics and new clause to cover
possible importations of oil from the
Orient as we'll as from Russia. De-
pew will be there to see that there
is fair revision of duties
on Agricultural machinery, pa
per and wood pulp. Every great
special interest will be represented
there, but those who want lower
duties will not be there. They will
not be invited to the entertainment.
No man who is not willing to pro-
tect the trusts will have the entree
to the festival. There'll be great
sport, but everything will be rep
resentable and uplifting. Every
schedule will be uplifted, if the
trusts think it desirable. .-Ea.

Hobson Wants More Battleships.

Predicting a gigantic and bloody
war between the United States and
the yellow races of Asia, led by the
militant Japanese, with racial su.
premacy as the stake, Captain Rich
mond P. Hobson stirred the House
last Saturday with a most eloquent
plea for the construction of four
battleships, as recommended by the
President.
The hero of the Merrimac proved
himself an orator as we'll as naval
fighter and won liberal applause
from the members and galleries,
which were crowded with visitors,
many of them gayly-dressed women.
He painted graphic picture Of
the American nation fighting off an
invading foe, declaring that con-
flict between the yellow and white
races was inevitable. With much
dramatic force and fervor, he add
ell: THE time is coming when
this nation not only to do it's duty
IN the world, bu, to preserve its
very existence, must turn the coun.
try into al armed camp and control
the two oceans which bound it on
the East and West"
AT the conclusion of the address
Captain Hobson was sharply rebuk-
ed by Representative Burton, of
Ohio. for his war like and inflam-
| matory" utterances. Burton was
thoroughly aroused and rose to the
oIatorical level of Clay or a Sum
ner. He told of where arbitration
and peaceful means had succeeded
after war had wrought hell on earth
and had failed, using as his chief
illustration the Treaty of Ports
mouth.
JAPS HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF WAR.
He predicted that every Japanese
veteran of the recent war with Rus.
sia and every widow and child Of
soldier slain in that war would
spend the remainder of their days
as active evangelists of peace, in.
stead of economizing in order that
they may help their Government to
build big enough navy with which
to conquer and annex America.
Members on both sides of the
chamber declared they were the
greatest speeches that had been
heard. this session and there was
general regret that Burton had only
20 minutes time whereas Hcbson
spoke full hour. 1t was impos-
sible to tell anything about the rela-
tive strength of the two factions,
as each man was applauded uproar-
iously and at the conclusion of their
speeches the business of the House
had to be suspended for several
minutes while members swarmed
around to grasp their hands.

Warren Worth Bailey, of Johns

League, replying to the assertion
of Leader James Guffey, of the

sylvania delegation to the Denver
Convention would go uninstructed,

Although my reports are very

the Bryan forces have scored a vic
tory in Pennsylvania. Colonel
Gufey's position is untenable. A

delegates were pledged to Mr.. Bry.
