the full text OF the Presidents Mes
sage Former times when the pa
pers had in EN- straight murders
and bank robberies from the inside
or out, MawruSs, and you sat op-
posite some body in the subway who
had 70 move his lips while he was
reading, you took II for granted
that he was an ignoramus which
had 10 hear them simple words pro-
nOunced. even If it was by his own
lips. bcThre he could understand
them. Mawruss, but you take this
here letter OF the goth inst, Nav
russ, and when you read where
President Wilson SAYS with refer
ence to telephone and telegraph
rates. Mawruss. there are many
confusions and Inconsistencies of
rates The scientific means by
which cOmmunica tons by such in
strumentalities could be rendered

couldn't tell what Mr.. Wilson was
driving into"
We'll, I glanced over that Mes
sage myself, Abe" Morris said,
and the capital Is was sticking up

I may, 1 shall. I dare say. / hope

manufacture aid sale Of wine and
beer continue after June 30th
which he probably argued: If
have such tough time shaking of
the May-I-not habit, how about
] them poor fellers which has got the
liquor habit?
Maybe he figured that way and
maybe he didn't. Mawruss," Abe
said. ''but if anyone feels that he
