The custom of presidents of the
United States reading their messages
to congress prevailed up to thu frst
term of Thomas Jefferson. who discon.
tinued It Various explanations for
Jefferson's departure from the custom
of Washington and John Adams have
been advanced. the most popular being
that Jefferson felt that 1t savored OF
royalty, seeing that the king Of Eng
land went In person to parliament and
read his address from the throne. An.
other explanation was that Jeffersou's
voice was notably weak. Jefferson
himself said in making the change. ~

Secretary McAdaa's Report,

In his report to Congress Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo has
discussed the subject of currency
legislation, reviewing the activities
in his department related to it. He
speaks of an unrest in business cir
cles following the beginning of the
special session Of Congress in April.
to propaganda of pessimism
which, designedly or not, produced a
condition of extreme nervousness
and tension and points to his an
nouncement in June that the treas
ury was ready to issue $5OO,OOO,0OO
of emergency currency under the
Aldrich-Vreeland act to prevent re-
striction of credits and to ease any
situation.
It is Secretary McAdoo who frus-
trated the panic which had been
programmed to be effective soon
after President Wilson had been in
augurated. He simply notified the
schemers that he would use if ne
oessary all the money in the treas
ury of the United States to defeat
them and to protect the people. And
there was no panic.

THE pEDDLERs LICENSE
Is Explained and Made Clear by City
Commissioner Riyes.

In its issue of Tuesday the Cau-
casian criticised the City Council on
the reported increase of peddlers
Iicence from $40 to $50.
This increase was reported in the
Shreveport Times and was accepted
as being authoritative Besides, the
license as published ain the Journal
was not fully understood by the
public, and therefore, following the
Caucasian's disappreyal of the re-
ported increase, there has been
made clear what is the purport OF
the license as published in the Jour-
nal of Thursday, from which is re-
produced the explanation by City
Commissioner Rives, which is salts
factory, and relieves the public of
the apprehension entertained III
driving the peddlers in question
from the streets through the re-
ported increase of the license from
$40 to $50:
City Commissioner C. G. Rives,
further explaining the peddlers Ii
cense ordinance amendment, issued
the following statement Thursday:
There is still doubt among some
of our best people as to just what
the city license for peddlers of poul-
try, eggs, vegetables and fruit shall
pay, beginning Jan. 1, 1914. 1t will
be as follows: Foot, $40; one-horse
wagon $15; two-horse wagon $40; or
horseback $12, and peddlers selling

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
ALI Smith, White Man, Is Jailed
in Default of Bond.

There was jailed yesterday
white man, ALI Smith, who is held
on the charge of having had carnal
knowledge of a female under the age
of consent, the limit being fixed by

The victim is said to have been in
Arcadia recently for an examination
as a teacher. Her name is purpOsely
withheld from publication by Mrs.

Union Depot, whose suspicion was
aroused by their apparent intimacy.
