Supreme Court t and once Republican candidate foi ? the Presidency, dcclaredi that the re 1 cent suspending of five Socialist Members by the New York State As - sembly, absolutely opposed to the fundamental principles of our Gov" eminent." This declaration was made in a lett ter sent by Mr. Hughes to the Speak, cr of the Assembly. Other parts ol 1 the letter read as follows: > "I deeply regret the action of the i Assembly in suspending five members , of the Socialist Party who have been . duly elected. I think that you will . agree that the high prerogative of the , Assembly to pass upon the qualifica. tion of its own members should be exercised in accordance with the spir1 it of our institutions. It is not, as 1 , view it, in accord with the spirit of , our institutions, but, on the contrary, it is absolutely opposed to the fundai mental principles of our Government, i for a majority to undertake to deny representation to a minority through its representatives elected by ballots lawfully cast. "Are Socialists, unconvicted of crime, to be denied the ballot? If Socialists are permitted to vote, arc they not permitted to vote for their own candidate? If their candidates are elected and are men against whom, as individuals, charges of disqualifying offenses cannot be laid, are they not entitled to their seats? "Nothing in my judgment is a more serious mistake at this critical time than to deprive Socialists or Radicals of their opportunities for peaceful discussion, and thus to convince them that the Reds are right and that violence and revolution are the only available means at their command." PRESIDENT MUCH IMPROVED WALKS ABOUT GROUNDS Saturday President Wilson abandoned his rolling chair and, for the first time since he became ill, about three months, ago walked about the White House grounds unassisted. The President was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson. He wore a fuv coat and cairled a cane but aparently had little need for it. Although the weather was raw and foggy, Dr. Grayson consented to this unusual exertion on the part of the President, and it is stated that the President will now be able to take a stroll in the open air every day.

RUIN SPREAD BY MEXICAN VOLCANO Friday, at a point in the rough country noar the Vera Cruz-l'uebla border, Mexico, ubout 150 miles directly east of Mexico City, there was a sudden eruption of the volcano Cerro de San Minguel, according to dispatches from Cordeba. A huge column of smoke and ashes burst forth without warning and was followed by streams of boiling water, lava, and sulphur, laying waste the country for many miles around and causing heavy loss of life and property. Reports place the death toll from the recent earthquakes and eruptions at 4,000. Twelve cities and villages are said to have been wiped out. 666 has proven it will cure Malaria, Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever, Colds and I^aGrippe. 11 Governor Dorsey, of Georgia; who, by the way, owes his election very largely to a certain lynching in his state is out in an article deploring Georgia lynchings.
