Slight Earthquake ehoclts Occur In

H. 4 . t
Rome, Jan. 4.-No serious damage
has resulted from any of, the new
earthquakes, according to reports
made to the government.
There have been recurring shocks
In stromholi and distinct shock in
southeastern Sicily: Messina, Reg
eio, Palmi and other Of the devastated
cities have also been slightly shaken.
A tremor hardly appreciable was
felt at Pcsaro and Fano, Adriatic
coast towns in the department of Mar
chest, many miles north of the recog-
nized quake region.
While but little damage has been
done by this new series 1t has served
to terrify the people throughout all Of
Italy, as it is feared that another vio-
lent shock will come and duplicate
the ruin wrought along the Strait OF
Messina.
Scientists say that the seismic dis:

long time and that the "earth's un.

the Calabrian and Sicilian coasts sui

ANSWER TO- THE HOUSE


Washington, Jan. 4.-Rep]ying to
the resolution of the house of repre-
sentatives asking the president TO- ex-
plain the references to the secret
service in his. recent annual message
Mr.. Roosevelt sent special commu-
nication to the house:
He declares that the representatives
are wholly unjustifled in assuming
that the language of the message,
which commented on the prohibition
placed by congress on the use of the
secret service men in cases other than
those of co17nterfeiting cand one or
two other matters which can be dis
rega:ded"), is intended to cast slur
upu, them:
The language which the representa-
tives wanted explained is as follows.
"Tlie amendment in question oper-
ates only to the advantage of the
criminal, of the wrongdoer. The chief
argument in favor of the provision
was that the congressman. did not
themselves wish to be investigated
by secret service men. A special eX-
ceDticjl could be made in the law pro-
hi1:i:ing the use of the secret service
force in investigating members OF the
congress. Tt would be far better to do
this than to do what actually vas
done an>, strive to prevent Or at least
to hamper effective action against
criminal by the executive branch Of
the government"
The special message declares that,
notwithstanding the umbra9e taken
hy congress at this wording, "a care

that I said nothing to warrant the
statement that the majority Of the

Suonression of News.

One Of the problems an editor

This is a problem Of special diff

IS regarded as being almost if not
quite as potent a preventive Of law
breaking as the fear of punish
ment, and the effects Of publicity
should be considered before rather
than after the commission of

Of the officers Of the law easier, and
the public should know what is
going on in the local courts. News
papers usually are glad to withhold
the publication Of news which
might prove injurious to the good

class Of people who make a habit OF
trying to suppress everything with

Good Roads.

Which is better, have Il thing

for good roads in overstrained
teams. wornout vehicles, loss OF
time and additional cost of market

value of his land-n all those
things the price Of good roads Is
paid thrice over and then bad
roads used. If you have to pay
for a thing, why not have it2 Gou

roads, so why not have them?-
Greenwood Enterprise.
The above from our esteemed
contemporary puts the road propo-
sition in a practical way and the
question suggests the only answer
to it.
If We have to pay for a thing
why not have it? The Mississippi
farmer pays for good roads every
year, hut he does not have them
and suffers the loss and inconven-
ience which bad roads bring. But
who stops to figure out the differ
ence in the cost of good and bad
roads?.
1t is a practical question and it
has been done.
In France it costs 500 to haul
the same amount that it cost s25 to
haul in this country. The farmer
in France has put enough money
in roads to make a saving of SIS
over the farmer of the United
States. France has been building
