Washington, d. O., April 9.-More
stringent legislation looking 10 the sup-
preston of anarchy, particularly in the
matter Of the dissemination of anarchislic
literature, is recommended in special

full read,:
Tc the Senate and House OF represents
tives:
herewith submit letter from the
Department Of Justice which explains
itself. Under this opio,5p, | hold that

power to prohibit the postmaster general
from being used IS an instrument in the
commission of crime; that is to pro-
hibit the use of the msils for the adj
yocacy of murder, arson and treason;
and / shall act upon such construction.
PROFESSIONALLY, however there should
be further legislation by Congress
in this matter. When compared
with the suppression Of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insigni6cance.
The anarchist Is the enemy of humanity,
the enemy of all mankind. aud his is
deeper degree of criminsiy than any
other. No immigrant is allowed to

Attorney General Bonsparte's letter,
accompanying the message, contains an
exhaustive review of the statutes with

MILEAGE BOOK PLAN.

APPROVES MILEAGE BOOK PLAN;
W. ID. Nssbil', associate railroad COM
missioner Of Alabama, urges The travel
ing public to cooperate with the railroads
10 putting into effect heir milesge book
sys'em. He says the new system makes
less bookkeeping, thereby permitting
lover rates to be pat into effect.
Mr. Nesbitt says: "Tbere seems to be
complaint on account Of the fact that
this tickets have to be exchanged at the
ticket offices for regular card tickets, and
not sccepted by train conductors except
from stations where regular tickets are
on sale. Without foil understanding
OF the si'ustioD this requirement OF the
railroads might be considered arbitrary
and unnecessary. As matter Of fact.
however, the requirement is one made
in order to save expense in the BOOK
keeping aud accounting department OF
the railroads. Where the mileage strips
are taken by conductors on the trains
from books sold by one road and good on
several roads, special Reports have 10 be
% de by the conductors on account of this
mileage, and special settlement made
between the railroads. Under the plan
adopted by the railroads this mileage
comes only through the regular ticket
Offices aud hence rfquires much simpler
form of accounting aud bookkeeping,
and reduces the clerical force necessary
to handle the business. Il also reduces
he pos bility Of error by conductors In
tearing milesge and enables them to
handle their passengers much more ex-
peditionsly, snd, therefore, gives them
more time for attention to the running
OF their trains"
