newspaper, as it has already adopted
the Initiative and Referendum. Both
these ! laid before the papers of that
State. as did other states some eight
years ago. Here is the exact circu-
lar:
STATE NEWSPAPER
In Which Every Man Can Be Heard
Relative to Legislation.
Each state of the Union needs a
state newspaper, issued weekly, save
when the legislature is in session,
when it should be daily. 1t wants
no editor in the ordinary sense of the
word The people themselves are
to do the writing and the State is to
print aud issue..the paper to its voters
and taxpayers free.
The paper is needed to get at the
will of the people in the making of
laws. A man can read through and
through every paper of a state,
and find that after all he has been
cheated of knowledge of all the bills
that have been introduced in his leg
stature. Often he finds his first knowl-
edge of them is after they have pass
ed both houses, or after his Governor
has signed them.
The state paper would require an
outline of all the bills at least six
months before they were introduced.
Then the peoples opinion of them
could be given-pro and con-to the
extent of 400 words in each instance.
Then the immense number of bills
that are sought to be rushed through
unbeknown to the people will have the
light of day and of public opinion on
them.
AS publicity is said to be a good
thing for the trusts. so it would be
good for legislation. Frauds of many
kinds would not dare to raise their
heads.
The state paper would thus finally
prepare the voters to vote intelli
gently under the establishment of
the referendum; but, of course. it
would head off much unwise legisla-
tion in the first place, and save time,
money and trouble.
We have long since found out that
we can make no calculations on our
Legislators. After they take their
seats too many influences surround
them to allow them to carry out any
particular promise they have made.
The intelligence of the people
would be respected and honored by a
state newspaper. The real wisdom
of the country would then be shot
forth from its obscurity, and legis-
lators, confronted by it at their posts,
would find it necessary to heed it.
The most generous of the newspa-
pers can by no possibility do justice
to the \people in enlightening them
| on legislative matters. Taxpayers can
get their money back tenfold in a
State newspaper.
1t is not State Socialist paper.
1t is a paper purely "of the people. "
The editors would be merely allowed
to give the outlines of all bills and
by whom introduced, and attend to
the general arrangement of the paper.
All the details can be so arranged
that the people will run no risk what
ever of being cheated in their aim.
All volunteer writers for the. press
should hail this proposal as one di-
rectly in their line, and l especially
| commend it to the American Press
Writer'S Association as. one that can
be made monument to their move
ment.
One national paper on the same
line should be established at Wash
ington.

Washington. April 15.-Although it
was generally known that splendid
progress had been made by the army
engineers in digging the Panama
canal, the statement contained in the
Canal Record just at hand comes as
a surprise that all of the excavation
that was contemplated in the original
project has been completed. Under
that plan 103,795. 900 cubic yards of
material were to be removed and that
has been done. But subsequently, in
order to accommodate naval vessels
of the Dreadnought type and the giant
liners now under construction, the
president ordered the widening and
deepening of the canal prism. That
involved the removal of 7O,871,59 ad-
ditional yards of material and that is
all Of the task of excavation that con-
fronts the engineers.
The record of accomplishments has
been marvellous. and without prece-
dent in engineering undertakings. The
real work of digging did not begin
until 1907, in which year nearly 49,
100000 cubic yards of earth were
moved and since that time the daily
average has been steadily growing un-
til now in three and quarter years
all Of the excavation called for in the
original plan has been accomplished
Last month 3.067.479 yards Of material
were taken out and this in the face Of
the heaviest rains known on the 18TH
mus during the month of March.

THE RIVER AND
HARB0R BILL UP
General Interest Shown in the
Senate When the Measure
Came Up

Washington, April 15.-The general
river and harbor bill, carrying an ap-
preparation of more than $52,000,OOu
today temporarily displaced the rail-
road bill. Almost every senator in
the chamber had a personal interest
in the bill and general concern was
manifested by the pricking up of ears
when Senator Nelson called up the
measure for action. In the absence
of Senator Frye, the Minnesota SEN
ator was in charge of it.
The bill was no sooner laid before
the senate than Senator Burton Of
Ohio took the floor in opposition. Ex-
planning that before. coming to the
senate he had been for ten years
chairman of the house committee on
rivers and harbors. he said that he
disliked very much to criticize his
former associate, as he did to criticize
his present colleagues Of the senate.
He did not consider the sum large.
hut he felt that under the present
methods many injudicious projects
were sure to be included with many
that are meritorious. He was es-
pecially severe in his comment on
continuing the piecemeal plan and a.
an instance he cited Sandy Bay har-
bor of refuge on the Massachusetts
coast. He stated that at the present
rate Of progress, seventy-six years
would be necessary to complete the
work, the enterprise being of no use
until completed.

When the Pittsfield express, on
which Mr.. Clemens came from New
York, reached here, he was carried
away from the car by his secretary
and his butler and placed in car
riage and driven to his home, Storm
field, half mile away. A physician
and nurse were also in the party. Mr..
Clemens appeared to be very weak
and haggard but sat up during the
drive as he seemed more comfortable
in that position. The attending ply
sician said that while there is no
immediate danger, Mr.. Clemens is
seriously i'll.
The return to Redding today was
the first time he has been in Storm
field since the death Of his daughter,
Miss Jean Clemens.

Emil Seidel will retire on Monday
next from the secretary-treasurership

Albany, N. Y, April 15.-Giving
heed to the recommendation Of Gov
ernor Hughes, the senate today went
on record in favor of a thorough In
quiry into all allegations of legisla-
tive corruption.
The resolution directing that the
leads uncovered by the llds-Conger
bribery scandal and the fire insurance
investigation be taken up by special
Legislative committee with full power
to probe into fthese and other matters.
must be approved next by the assem-
bly, ways and means committee before
its submission to the lower house.
There are vague hints that this COM
mittee may change the resolution so
as to make it less sweeping in it's
character, but the general impression
among the members seems to be
favorable to its adoption as it stands.
Governor Hughes declines to comment
on the senate's action and Speaker
Wadsworth ventures no prediction as
to what the house may do.

POLICY IS POOR
Government Appropriations
for River improvements in
Past Condemned

Washington, April 5-Condemning
the "ddribbling policy" of making
partial appropriations without provi-
sion for completion. MIR. Burton said
"such plan of procedure would be
considered altogether wasteful and in
judicious in private enterprise"
of making partial appropriations, Mr..
Burton cited Sandy Bay harbor of
refuge. Massachusetts,, the estimated
cost for the completion of which is
more than $5,000.O00. Work upon this
harbor has been in progress for twen-
ty-five years, and it is shown that 1t
will require f1fty-one years to COM
plete it. or in all seventy-six years.
1t is contended that projetcs which
have been examined and rejected by
the corps of engineers as unworthy
of adoption, those in which the meth
ods recommended for prosecuting the
work have been disregarded, should
not be the objects of appropriation.
Embraced in this list are Great Salt
pond, Block island, Rhode Island;
Norfolk Beaufort waterway; Mobile
harbor, Alabama; channel from Or
snge and Beaumont. on Sabine and
Neches rivers. in Taylor's bayou, Tex
as; Green river, Kentucky. and Mis-
souri, river at or near Lake Contrary,

After the exchange Of greetings

COKE FORMS
President Saw Different Forms 4
Which Drug is Prepared.

WulCu UFuk - IEcpdIcus
Washington. April 15.-The differ
ent forms in which the drug cocaine
is prepared for sale to its victims
were exhibited to President Taft, to-
day. DR.. G. P. Remington of Phila-
delphia, chairman of the committee
on revision of the United States phar-
macopaeia. which will hold its next
convention in this city. May 10. DR..
Remington told the president that the
Illicit sale Of cocaine had grown to
proportions in this country that Sc
riously threatened future citizenship.
1t has been discovered in Philadel-
phia. he said. that the drug was sold
in large quantities to school children
hundreds Of them having been de-
bauched through its agencies. Re-
strictive laws in cities and states were
ineffective because the drug could be
obtained by mail from other states.
What was needed was national legis-
lation under the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution that would
forbid the handling or sale of the
medicine except by licensed druggists
and physicians.
The president was appalled, by the
facts told him and promised to give
his aid in any way possible.

HOPE LIES IN

Statute of Limitation Will be
Used to Save the Pittsburg
Grafters

Pittsburg, April 15.-Attorney Will
liam j. Brennan, who is counsel for
several of the indicted councilmen, to-
day revealed the course the defend
ants will take in the coming graft
trials IL convictions are secured in
the lower courts.
Instead of pressing the question of
Harrison Nesbit's right to be q men,
ber OF the grand jury which found
the indictments, because his vitizen-
ship is in question, no objection will
be made to the trials going on at
once. II convictions are obtained,
however, the eNsbit contention will be
made basis of motion for q re-
trial.
Should this be granted-and the
alleged grafters' hope is pinned to it
1T will be after June 8, 1910. when
the statute of limitations becomes ef-
fective In the graft cases. That this
offers loophole for escape for all the

fessed. including Hoffstot. is the opin-
