The President's Message, printed on a 25 page issue, adopts a conservative stance on the forthcoming international peace congress and carries typical Mormon bias and Indian policy flak.

The sole notable point is the support for international arbitration policy.

They favor MacAdam paving to the Dunkirk Pomfret town line and want to fund their own street improvements, seeking exemption from other streets and equal use of repaired streets.
