Washington, April 9.-In one of
the shortest messages which he has
yet transmitted to congress, Presi-
dent Roosevelt today called attention
to the necessity of further legisla-
ton on the subject of anarchy.
With the message he transmitted
to congress a report reviewing the
legal phases of the situation by At
torney General Bonapart. The mes
sage says that under the opinion of
the attorney general the existing
statutes give the president tie
power through the postmaster gem
eral to prohibit the use of mails for
the advocacy of murder arson and
treason. 'iand'' the president con-
tinues. 81 shall act upon such con-
struction. Questionably however,
there should be further legislation
by congress upon this matter. When
compared with the suppression of
anarchy, every other question sinks
into insignificance. The anarchist is
the enemy of humanity, the enemy
of all mankind, ana his is a deeper
degree of criminality than any 9th

Albany, N. Y. Apr. 9.--The vote
of Senator Owen Cassidy of Schuy-
Ter (republican) late last night
caused tie vote of 25 to 25, and
defeated for the time at least the
two Agnew-Hart bills embodying
the recommendations of Governor
Hughes that the legal protection be
abolished which since 1895 has pro-
tected gambling at race tracks,
whereas it is a felony elsewhere in
the state.
Lieutenant Governor Chandler
(democrat) i'll the chair. by casting
his vote to break the tie upon a par
liamentary motion, which, but for
him. would have resulted in killing
the bills for the rest of the session,
saved them for another vote at the
discretion of the introducer, Senator
Agnew. at any time when the order
of business permits him to call up
the matter.
In commenting on the defeat of
the bills, Governor Hughes said:
at is impossible to believe that
the people will permit the plain man
date of the constitution ito be ig-
nored The contest has not ended.
1t has only begun. 1t will continue
until the will of the people has been

TURE TO STOP RACE TRACK
GAMBLING.
(Bx Associated Press. }


New York, Apr. 9.-Following the
failure of the senate yesterday to
pass the anti-race crack gambling G
bills, Governor Hughes today sent
to the Legislature message renew
ing his recommendation for the en-
actment of this legislation and ask
ing for the enactment of eight other
propositions now pending.
The governor will probably call
an extra session of the legislature
for May L.
1t is also expected that a special
election will be ordered to choose a
successor to the late Senator Fran
chet of the Niagara district.
Besides the race track laws, the
governor recommends legislation to
reform the banking methods, a di-
rect primary method of nominating
for elections. the placing of the tel
ephone and telegraph companies I'M
der the jurisdiction of the public
service commission, and bill facil-
itating the construction of subways
in New York City.
The governor also urges an inves-
tigation by commission of Wall
street speculation, the question of
immigration, the question of the un-
employed in this state and the re-
lation of the inferior courts to cer-
tain criminal procedure.

Denver, Apr. 9.-Preparations are
practically completed for the spring
election.
The democratic caucuses with rep
resentative primaries will be held
April IS and the convention April
Fl.
The Business League will hold its
first nomination conventicn by COM
mittee April Is, will nominate Speer
and then wait for the action of the
other conventions in order to SCI
lect other candidates.
So far as outside indications are
concerned Mr.. Speer has the sup
port of w. G. Evans. At least. all
of the men who are known to be
Evans followers are talking Speer,
and there is general disposition on
their part to boom him for the po-
sition. This causes discussion in
the republican ranks to demand of
the convention that their nominee re-
fuse to accept nominations on any
other ticket. This would prevent
the Business Mems League from
picking up part of the republican
nominees and matching them against
the others.

ONCE AGAIN GATHER
REDMEN In
COUNCIL
Especial to The sentinel.)

Oshkosh, Wis, Apr. 9.-For the
first time in a century the scattered
remnants of the Six Nations, the
powerful Indian tribes which inhab-
tied New England in colonial days,
are holding general council.
Quincy, an Indian settlement on
the shores of Lake Winnebago, is
the scene of the conference, which
has for its purpose the perpetuation
of the ancient forms and customs of
the Six Nations.
Delegates are in attendance from
many states.
Historians of the tribe have been
busy for months in preparing elab-
crate accounts of the prowess of
their ancestors, with which to re-
gale the assembled redskins. The
wanderings and the trials and tribu-
lations of the tribe since it was
driven from its New England home
will be recounted for the benefit of
the younger generation.

IS DENVER IMMUNE
FROM LOCAL
OPTION?
Especial to The sentinel.) }

Denver, Apr. 9.-Along with the
local option fight which was conduct
ed throughout the state Tuesday
there arises a question as to whether
the state law on local option applies
to the city and county of Denver.
This city is acting under special
act of the legislature and in many
cases the supreme court has ruled
that the state law does not apply.
This was true the other day in what
is known as the election case.
The state law made one provision
while the city charter made another,
and the supreme court held that the
city charter prevailed.
Under the city charter the police
protection of the city is vested in the
city council and given through ordi-
nances enforced by policemen and
courts.
The question has arisen as to
whether the local option law can
transfer this police power from the
charter to the state law.

THE HARDEST FIGHT
BOB EVANS EVER MADE-0NLY A SHAD-

A RESTLESS NIGHT.
(By Associated Press. }

Paso Robles, Cal, Apr. 9.-Rear
Admiral Evans was somewhat rest
less and did not sleep well last night
DR.. Mcdonald stated this morning,
however, that he considered the ad-
miral had fair night.
The admiral was feeling cheerful
thi smorning and is looking forward
with much pleasure to the coming OF
this morning and is looking forward
pected to arrive here today.
The departure of Lieutenant Evans
to Los Angeles to accompany his
mother and sister was no doubt
largely for the purpose of preparing
them for the great change in the
appearance of the admiral. He is
but the shadow of his former self,
and his pale drawn face, furrowed
with many lines, his thin, emaciated
body, his knees and ankles de-
formed and enlarged-in all these
there is not much resemblance of
the physical appearance of the man
who stood on the bridge of the Con-
necticut leading his great fleet out of
Hampton Roads less than four short
months ago. Then he weighed IT'S
pounds: now he weighs barely 100
While his rheumatism has almost
disappeared as the result of the
treatment here and he has gained
considerably in strength. the Physi-
cians admitted this morning that
there are other complications which
retard his rapid recovery and make
his permanent improvement very
slow. :
Despite the assertion of the doe
tors that the admiral is gaining his
strength rapidly. the impression is
gaining ground around the hotel that
he is fighting the hardest battle OF
his life.
1t is also said that his baths have
been reduced because of his weak
condition. DR.. Mcdonald, however,
refused to confirm this. Asked IL
Admiral Evans was suffering from
any organic disease which is tending
to make his recovery slow, the doc
tor was noncommittal. and declared
that he thought the admiral had done
very well since his arrival here

 One Of the latest decisions of this kind was rendered against a bank which. upon receiving an order from a customer to purchase 30,O00 marks (mark-23,S cents) of a certain class of mortgage bonds. instead Of eXecut- ing the order wrote to the customer advising him to buy the mortgage bonds of another company. stating that the latter were equally safe and pos sessed some advantages over those or dered. The customer thereupon changed the order, according to the banks advice. When the company is- suing the purchased bonds failed he brought suit against the bank for the recovery of the money invested.
 The court in its decision against the bank held: The bank has not done its duty in taking care of its custom CTS interests when it recommended the purchased bonds to be as safe as those originally ordered to be purchased. be- cause the bank should have known that the latter had the quality of legal and orphans, wards. etc." whereas the

The vagabond who is kin to the wolf is a special product of Latin civiliZa- ton. You do not meet him in England or Germany. though something like him exists among the halfyellow SlaVs of Russia. He is eminently Lat in. In every sense of the word he is a rebel against society. He has had some education-feW Frenchmen can escape il; he has read little. perhaps. enough to kindle his brain of a wolf; and he has two aims in life-to live the free life of the wolf on the hill, and to injurc as much as he can that great. monstrous, laW-driven machine, civ ilization. The lonely farm houses are defenceless against him. When all are busy afield he creeps ih and pillages. If need be he kills. He has a distinct hatred for those who work and garner. As he passes he fires the hay -ricks-- barns and buildings go up in smoke That is where the Latin shows in him. once out of the law he is an Anarch.

THE MYTHICAL MGsTLETOE.

The strong arm of the government will rot threaten the mistletoe. When Representative Burleson of the tenth Texas district proposed as an amend ment to the agricultural appropriation bill that an appropriation be made to exterminate the mistletoe, fellow con- gressmen. regardless of political or sectional affiliations, rose as one man in protest Does the gentleman value the forests of the future more than the poetic associations of the past" thundered John Wesley Gaines. Other questions of like portent followed, as from rapid-fire guns. MT. Nicholas Longworth was especially requested to relate his experiences. The Tepresen- tative from Texas tried in vain to eX- plain his position. but speech from him was not tolerated. The amendment was lost without need of record vote.
 MT. Burleson perhaps knows more of agriculture than poetry. He was ed heated at the state agricultural college,
 
 When he encountered crude sentiment on the issue he raised he had no show in the debate. In the mistletoe rugged prose and stupid poetry meet but to antagonize one another. The thought of the mistletoe does not appeal to the fancy of the farmer; at the same time, the poetic associations are mostly rub bish. The curious plant is a parasite. It lives on the juices of the trees on which it grows, exactly as the Texas congressman undertook to explain. It is a freak, moreover. its shoots grow ing downward as well as upward. ac- cording to credible description. The ancient veneration which sprung up for it. now turned to sentimentalism- usually more ill evidence on the Christmas cards than in actual exper- ieace--had reference only to the growth upon the oak tree As mat ter of fact, mistletoe is based on false premises. It is said, indeed, that. the oak being a sacred tree, the shrub was reverenced only because it sprung from 1 the oak. as thing divinely born. This l notion proving acceptable, the persons l who had charge Of such matters in a 1 credulous age were at pains to stick ! the necessary supply of mistletoe on convenient oak trees at the recurring | season when the shrub was in demand ! for festal purposes.
 For decoration the mistletoe is in- | significant; to be unfavorably com | pared. for example. to the holly. The l osculatory privileges it is supposed to ! provide originated in the kitchen. Thus | the weaving of poetry and sentiment i about the parasite is of origin as vul- | gar as fraudulent. Never was a silly | myth more foolishly perpetuated. Rep resentative Burleson's honest convic- i tions as to the matter should have had | the support of his fellow congressman. | It is high time, in an age when delu- sions in great variety are being ex- plodcd, to have it out with the mistle- toe.

The eovsrnment and the Banks.

The farmer must forward his crop and must be paid for it before he for wards it: the workman must go to the shop for food and must have something to buy it with He has earned wages and he wants a representative of these wages in his pocket. In short. an emer gency currency comes into existence in every panic and will come in every future panic. It rests with congress to legalze it or not, but no congress and no government can prevent it's use.
 Our national bank system is good. but it is becoming antiquated; it is based on government bonds which ought to be paying off more and more As we grow larger and need more banking facilities. the supply of the government bonds falls off, thus cur tailing the existing basis Tor the issue of bank currency. Our government should have nothing to do with the i'm mediate proceedings of the banks. ex- cept to inspect and criticise the actions of these banks. In short. the secre- tary of the treasury should not be able to come in or go out" of the money market The system should be auto matic and take care of itself. The gov ernment should not hoard money or throw it out at the will of anybody or everybody. but all the surplus Of the government should be kept in the banks subject to the use of the whole population of the United States. and the government should receive re- turn for its deposits. just as any man corporation or private in dividual receives it. This money should not be protected any more than the money of any private individual. In short. the government should gec out of business and stay out.-Majo jor Henry Lee Higginson, in Appleton's Maga zine
