4 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
IN PERSON.

The decision OF President Wilson 10
read in person his message to Congress
is Il bold revival OF an ancient pre-
cedent Mt a psychological moment. The
fact that Washington ana the elder
Adams In the first days OF the repub-
lie did what he will do tomorrow
would not of itself have been sufficient
reason 10 impei him TO repeat their
course, although the action may be
considered n return to the simpler and
more direct procedure OF old time
This unusual and somewhat spec
tacular departure from custom ac-
quiesced in for more than century
and quarter will have two results.
II will fix the attention of the country
upon Congress, and then upon tho
Democratic majority in Congress and
what 1t has pledged itself to do 1t
will bring home 10 the American peo-
pie the fact that the Democratic ma
iorjty of the House of Representatives,
all save a few Senators of the Demo
cratic majority. and the President. are
endcavoring To reduce the high cost Of
living through revision of the tariff
and that certain Democrats in the
Senate and the Republican minority
therein arc united in an attempt to
block Legislation that would. through
tariff revision. reduce the high cost of
living. The spotlight is flashed upon
Congress, and in the centre of Congress
Is the little band Of legislative puppets

Westport, May 17-Today the Vest port hotel is in charge of the new pro- pr1etor, A. G. Southey, who has pur- chased the business from Harry L. Roosay and will conduct it upon much the same lines for the future. MT. Roosa had charge of the hotel for the past seven months and his decision to retire and devote himself to farming has been received with regret as he has made very popular landlord. Under the new proprietor the hotel will | continue to prosper and while it's pa irons regret the departure of MT.

 A vigorous fight was made to have the bill apply only to aliens ineligi- ble to citizenship so that Mexican holders of property in Arizona would not be affected. There are few Jap anese holding property in the State but many Chinese hold titles, and these, like the non-citizens among the Mexicans. will be required to dispose of the real estate within five years. | The law exempts only mining claims held by aliens or real property neees- sary to the proper working of mines.
