Famines liave occurred in
all ages oflJie vVbrM. But who
ever heard ol a whiskey famine?
The Anli-£alooii League has
chosen J, W. Itailey to cham
pion its cause in (he passage of
a bill regulating the Kile of liq
uors. No better man could have
been chosen.
• The Sunday Post of Italoigh
has sonic pleasant things to say
about the flights of oratory in
the Friday night caucus. We
ore glad that the good old days
of fino speeches are not past
but what we need most is ben
eficial legislation a'ld not so
much talk.
We publish on front page
Gov. Aycoek's message in con
densed form. Lack of space
prevented the publication in
•full. The sections of most inter
est to our readers have been
culled. The ine.-.-age as a whole
is an abl papi r, touching every
phase of state work and recom
mending needed legislation
espec-alty a! 1 »industrial lines.
The management uf the diiler
cnt departments has been sat
isfactory and the folate should
feel proud of t li*j clean admin
istration under Democratic rule
with Charles 15. Ay cock at its
helm.
Elsewhere is published a let
ter from 11 in. John 11. Small,
which states thai he may be
able to secure a supply of
young lish with which to stock
private ponds.
Now is the time for those of
' our readers who Imve ponds to
secure a nice supply oflish for
the same.
The Enterprise advises those
who are interest* d in the fish
supply of our river to get to
gether aud secure some of these
young fish while they nny bo
had. Lets have our river,creeks
and ponds well stocked with
desiiable fi*h.
A movement lias been made
to build a furniture factory nt
an early date. The neeess-iiy
for an indtiMry >f this kind is
made more apparent every day.
The town can new r riake rap
id strides without industries.
The hurtling of the factory
last spring was, perhaj s, the
most serious blow WjHi&mston
ever received. Merchants feel
the lofs of it; dozens of labor
era the disadvantages
they have been ui.der tit ice
There is plenty of capita! here
and a factory-can be made a
i safe investment.Every business

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Vroa our Special Cormpjr l-tit.f
T;.e two so ca'lcd anti-trust bills
prepared by Attorney-General Knox
and introduced in the Hoc.se on
Jan. Eth.by Representative Jenkins
Chairman of the J diciary Commit
tee,came as a surprise to both dem
ocrats and republicans. These are
Administration bills and indicate
another change of program at the
White House. Heretofore President
Roosevelt 1 as taken pains to have
it announced that there would be
no Administration bi'.ls and that
Congress would act on it own ini
tiative or not at all.
It should b.- remarked here that
these bills indicate that the presi
dent' had abananid his proposition
to ainei.d the c.nsiitution and also
his great publ city remedy f.r trusts.
Because of democratic agitation
the tide against trusts is now run
ning so strong ami the mcessity
for some action, or show of action,
has become "so imperative t !, at two
auti trust tills have been liuncheJ
by the Administration with unusual
publicity: These bilis : t they should
become law, would peitlidr l>enefit
ttie perrpl- ttttr harm. ihe4fi»lv The
most radical proposals in t .esc
bills are!
i. To am ndthe inter state coon
merce law so as to punish a'ike
railroads that give a shippers
who receive ditterental freight rates
a. To amend the Sherman Anti
trust law so that it will iea«.h cor ,
prorations and combinab nl which
produce «holly in one state but
whose products enter inter state
commerce.
There are indications that the big
railroads would !»e only 100 willing
to have rate cutting stopped. Tl.eir
profits w.uSd be great')* increased i
if secret rebate# were hot gen rally
given to big shi »fers Citable to
keep laith wit'i each other, many
of them w ill welcome the aid ol
the govt rnmeut, llence il success
ful,-the bill would simj-'y iicrca-c
freight ratej, to some and would
enable ihe laiiroads |i co'le t exor
bitant ratiS. instead of compelling
them to give reasonable rates to a.l
shippers.
The proposed laws are rendered
ineffective ntid harmless to--the
trusts, by the lhat the
Attorney General' "mav tiic" tvitli
a clerk of aci cuit c>»urt a citili
ca'e that "in his opinion case
jjreat importance." This prov'so is
fatal wiigM,. as always happens uu
di-ta re üblican Ad -ii istralian,
the Attorney Ji« rieul i'-a fiend and
tool of the rai reads ar.d titl^U."
There was filed with. Attorney
General Knux, one yeai ago, a pe
tition against t e Continental To
bacco Company, stattng f.scts
amounting, to a violation of the
Sherman Anti Trn-t law. The facts
were plain and shored t!ia! the
ollicials t»f this trust were
ators and crtmin.il). 'l-fae Attorney
(.•eneral exercised liis pseroga'.ive
and no criminal or other proceed
ings were against th's '.rust
Similiar facts in regard to thr
Anthracite Coal re ; ut into
the hand > of the Attorney General
more than f.ur months ago,by Mr.
W. R. llearsl. In an open letter to
the President, in the New York,
American of January fth Mr Hearst
says: .■*
"In the jugmcnt of lawyer?
whose professional c- mpetency is
|uite as undisputed as that of your
Attorney-General, whose proofs it
presented in cour we.uld suffice to
dissolve the coal tru*t and subject
its members to the civil and cjimi
atal penalties provided by law. Con
tinuously since the submission of
those proofs, the coal trust ha* rob
bed the people, extorting lamine
prices for co d a prime necessity of
industrial and domestic life, yet no
action against this trust has been
by four Attorney-Genet*! for (he
enforcement of the laws and the
relief of 4he public.
•' 1 appc.il ta you, thercf r.*, Mr.

of the United Staies, President
Roosevelt, hare a right to expect
s action from you against the trusts
( ! ia gentral, and the coal trust in
particular. No conspicuous public
. man of your party has so vehe
mcnt|y as yourself expressed a de
sire to protect the public from spol- j
iatioa at the hands cf combinations
lof predatory capital. And you have
. well said that •'words are goodj 1
I when backed up by deeds and only
|
; The bills are fakes and bluffs. 1
, thr y would not reduce railroad rat s ;
. they would not prevent rhe mono
polies of raw materials which is the
t trump card of the trust-; they leave 1
. the power of initiative in the hands 1
of the Attorney-General.
, What Wall Street thought of these j- •
bills is evident lroin the fact that!
, si cks, both railroad and industrial j ■
rose rapidly for two or three days 1
. after the bills were introduced.

, i The American Beet Sugar Asso 1 " 1
ciatian met in Washington on I'e
: cember Bth, and passed resolutions 1
I withdrawing its opposition to the
. ratification of the reciprocity treaty 1
i. {•veen Cuba and thet'nitcd c t'ites
,! A second set of resolutions were I
passed protesting against the stim
, lulation of the tobacco and sugar
, industries in the Philippine Islands, '
and alio"opposing the introduction 1
'of Chinese contract labor in either
the Philippine and Hawaiian Is
lands. Subsequent to the meeting
' there was considerable discussion '
as to the authority of the members '
present to pass resolutions binding '
the policy of the Association, but 1
: nine fictories being actua ly rep- '
resented yut cf more than
thirty. President Oxnard, however, 1
stated that he voted twelve proxies 1
in favor of the resolu'.i lis, which,
ia addition t) the seven whic 1
! others whose representatives voted 1
favorably, makes more than a ma !'
. jjosity and clothes the action of the 1
meeting wilh full authority. A|e- '
cnliar feature of the meeting was 1
the fact that not a single Michigan '
delegate was present, and the ac- 1
lion was said to have beer taken
w ithrr-.t their approval. The M chi 1
jjjui■ liect.Sugar Association, a St tie
rganv.atioii, passe-1 reio'utions
.' last month of an almost Opposite
i : tenor to H4oSC.passed by the Amer 1
icari Beet Sugar Association ' but J J
f .Mr. Oxnard when quo tioned about I,
this, stated tlfat the.Mibhigan lac p
li>ries really tavored the resolutions j
Ihe next day rep Aentatites otj'
the Michigaij Peet Sugo Assncia-j
j tion were in conference at the Cap- J.
itol with their delegation in Con !■
K tess.
Th? Michigan men whose or
' gani/ation is separate from the
National Beet Sugar Association, J |
still are opposed to taiiff reduction.
They say that the National Asso
eiation included beet growers and
, viaiuifaclurers of the tar west who
, would not be hurt by a2a per ct .
(reduction as Ihe frei lit on Cuban|
' suj*aj from the Atlantic Seaboard to r

j the reduction.

There two sides to tha Cuhai

terns that Mr. Oxnard has been
( repudiated by the Michigan
men, and the Congressional dele

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
>
—r*
I CoxHKt'F.l) FROM FIRST PAGE.
Icall the tjeffcMim together in'
extra session would cost the State
! more than the interest* on two hun-'
j lrcd t'.ioUNaad do'dtrs, and it ws»
> not thought that the LegUlatute
1 would hesitate to make provision '
I for meeting the appropriations j
j which it had theretofore made,
jWe wetc unwilling to fasten upon
I the State a debt running for fifty
I years and bearing six per cent it:-
! terest. We. therefore, determined
' f |v»-siUe to borrow the two ltun
j lrcd thousand dollars until provis-
I .on coahl b»- made by your Honor -
[ ible Body for meeting the difficul
ties which confronted us. Our
I Treasurer, with advice of the
i Council of State, and myself went
I to New Ywk s;id secured the loan
j of two hundred thousand 4 altars af.
J four and one-half per cent per sn
'uußi interest, payable semi annu
1 ail v. All fhe facts were Jloid be
fore the lender at>d u is jjq small
i tribute to the business qualifier.
;i«of nor Trt*H«er nd to the
State that Mr. Lacy was enabled
to secure this loan. Uy its use up
have been enabled to furnish the
necessary money for the public
schools and have nearly completed
the promised additions to the Mor-
Kanton Asylam. It is impossible
to meet the floating debt of the
| Slate, togc-ihea »ith current expen
ises and the absolutely neves?arj
\ perxmmM improvements 90 Jo: 1
: current revenues. It is, therefore,
j apparent to me that it b neccessary
jto is ue bonds with which to pay
jof the present indebtedness and if
I thought wise to complete the im
provewbirh have already
beco begun and tbasac h h^cji
found by your Honorable Body to
be absolutely necessary in the im
mediate future. I recommend that
authority Ik given to the Governor
and ConncS of Stale to Im** m
taxable bonds is an amount not to,
■ - ■ •
exceeding five hundred thound
dollars ($500,000), the boods to
run for fifty years, to bear a rate
. of interest to be naimed in the Act,
to be add for not leas than par. I
; believe that a three per cent bond
can be sold at par. The credit of
the State is and ought to be excri
. lent. Her present condition is
i that of unexampled prosperity.
, The value of her property is in
: creasing annually at a great rate,
. her debt is small compered with J
' the debts of other States and she I
meets without question and on
i time every recognized and honest'
obligation. If the property of the
| State now held as investments was i
sold' at the present market value it I
AXHtld bring almost enough to pay!
; our entire bond..-J indebtedness. 11
i have been all my ilfe much oppo»-
to issueing bonds, bat to do so now I
,is not an unmixed evil It is prob- j
ably belter to care for the ncces-1
I. - I
sary permanent tinpro- cments in I
our present condition by a bond!
issue, than to burden our reviving |
industrial ami agricidturai inter !
jests with high taxation with which |
to supply the needs of the great
works which the people have pro-1
* jtcted. If we can accomplish the!
education of aii our children, caret
for til? alllictcii. build good toads. I
develop our industries, and increase I
our agricultural productions as we I
are now doing ue nil! in a short
"time have a State rich euengh to
meet every obligation without ex
cessive taxation on anybody. How
■ev c*r, if your Houarable Body can
ffnd a better way in which to pro
vide for the absolute appropria-1
tious I shall be much gratified.
If bonds arc issued I suggest!
that a portion of them be in small I
denominations so that they may bel
. taken by our own people as an »n
--vc •.incnt. The condition of out
, citizens at present is one of much
prospeity and I believe that quite a j
number of the bends will be sought I
■ for by the in.
CONTUSION.
There arc many matters not not j
ed 111 this message which w ill claim I
your attention. Perhaps 110 Gene !
ral Assembly has ever assembled in I
the State in time of peace that has J
had greater opportunity for real]
service to the state. Yott will not I
for get the dread of our people oil
debt and their oppo ition to exces
sive taxation, nor will you fail to
appreciate the great undertakings
wlr.ch the State has entered upon
and the larger future for which we
til so earnestly hope. Money I
wisely and prudently expended!
now in behalf of those things which
tend to develop the State will prove I
j a ficucficial inve*tntetj|. I;cotiomy
should not be ovet looked nor should
jiar.-iiiict.y in the expenditure of

but one way only to serve the peo
ple well and that is do the right
