The Presidents Message.

Before day had expired after the send
log of the presidents message to congress,
on Tuesday OF this week, 1t had won recog
milton, even in many democratic journals as
great state paper, and the most important
and vOluIninous state document sent to
congress since the civil war, while as one
of the strongest democrat dailies of the coun-
try remarked with something akin to patri'
otto enthusiasm and In vigorous language,
"tbere is not weak kneed line in it,"
The message is valuable to every person
who wishes to understand the questions OF
the day for it is the most comprehensive
summary of the affairs of the nation which
could be got into an equal space, while the
recommendations made are clear cut and
crafty ing to all who are looking for able
treatment of the great questions before the
American people today.
Among the questions on which action 10
recommended are, currency reform, gov
eminent aid to build up a merchant marine,
that the profit OF carrying American goods
may be kept at home. and further restric-
lions on trusts. A civil government for Porto
Rico is recommended and the pledge of in
dependence for Cuba Is reaffirmed. In the
Philippines. 1t declares American sover-
eighty must be maintained, bat the future
government of the island is left for congress
to determine. The necessity for the early
building of the Nicaraguan canal is urged,
as also the necessity for the laying of Pa
clfc cable.
As to our foreign relations, instead of dis
closing entaDglements with the other great
POWERS, the message points out that In gen
eral our foreign relations are quite salts
factory. This part of the message referring
to our commercial treaties is of far reach
ing importance, declaring as it does that our
commercial rights had been maintained In
tact as existing treaties laid them down AID
that they would be SO maintained This
may be taken TO settle the matter OF
whether or not the United States shall lose
the wonderful market which she has just
been discovering and doing so much to de
velop in the far east and indicates that our
stand will be taken for the open door poiry
in China.
The whole message deals with the m st
important set of world wide questions that
nation which is just beginning to see its
place among the powers Oh the earth could
have called to its notice. And they are
handled in firm, dignifed, statesmanlike
way which is credit to the whole English
speaking race.

Director of Census Merriam pays the
newspapers of the country neat compi-
ment in a circular notice which he has for
warded to the supervisors to be forwardtd
by them to the newspapers in their census
districts. Incidentally If bis plan is acted
upon as 1t doubtless will be, the work OF the
census taking will be improved and large
amount of good will be done by educating
the people as to the purpose and scope of
the census. The plan of Mr.. Merriam
was devised to increase the accuracy and
therefore the value of the work while at the
same time decreasing the work of the enum-
orators. This is his avOwed object and he
appeals to the press to respond in its char
acter as an educator and servant of the
people to publish inforG alton which shall
be both instructive and interesting, relative
to the work of the bureau and particularly
as to the field work of the enunerators
themselves between the present time and
next June.

ENDLESS CHAIN scnETiE.
Authorities MAY Sar It from the United
states Malls.

The postoffice authorities are
considering the advisability of
prosecuting a number of persons
and firms in connection with what
is known as the endless chain
scheme. The modus operandi of
the endless chain" is as follows:
A card is sent to certain person,
requesting him to return it with
10 cents and receive in return ten
cards of a similar nature to be
sent to ten friends, these in turn
are each to send in ten cents and
receive ten cards each, which are
to be sent to ten friends, thus in
creasing in geometrical progression
to almost incomprehensible num-
bers.
Each card is marked of series.
If the chain is completed, in con
sideration Of the 10 cents the per-
sons sending same, each receives
an article of many hundred times
the value of the money paid. If,
on the other hand, a single card
fails to return to the promoters of
the scheme, the chain is broken,
and the investors forfeit their in.
yeStments.
Postoffice Inspector Dice. in
speaking of the matter, said: L
thought from the beginning the
sending of these cards through the
mails was a violation of the law,
coming within the provisions of
both the federal statutes prohibit
Ing the use of the mails in the
futherance Of scheme to defraud,
and also to promote a lottery.
There was some doubt as to
whether this was correct, so the
matter was referred to the attorney
general of the United States at
Washington. Information was re-
ceived that he had considered the
matter and expressed the opinion
that the endlesS-chain scheme was
violation of the statutes before
referred to.
