THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Whatever derogatory criticisms
may be passed upon President Nc
Kinley's message will be prompted by
party bias or narrow disgruntled
sentiment, resulting from the feeling
that the opinions important to the
minds of a few individuals should be
given more Importance In their rela
ton to national affairs.
forward in sentiment and complete in
its treatment of the important ques-
tons now in the hands of the repre-
sentatives of the American people
The President is not and has never
cen prolific In his assertions of what
Congress should do, yet in no instance
does he retreat from the responsible
ties of the chief executive office. He
seeks to WORK in unison with the peo-
pie and leaves to Congress the ultimate
decision OF detail which should be left
to the legislative branch of the Gov
eminent.
In his reference to Hawaii, President
McKinley's remarks should not only
be satisfactory to the people here, but
highly gratifying. He has recognized
the anomalous conditions that exist
and called attention to difficulties in
detail. After reciting these facts, at
tention is called to the Territorial Bill
and the necessity of prompt II not i'm.
mediate action by Congress to fur.
nish relief which shall put an end
to the conflicts Of the legal situation.
What more could be expected of the
President in his capacity as an exc
cutive officer We have yet to learn. Had
the reference to Hawaii been written
by those local citizens honestly inter-
ested In the general welfare of our
people. 1t could not have been more

forcibly to the attention of the legis-
,ors who alone have the authority to
change the laws under which the Is
lands are now governed

and the admiral and major general
commanding the Department of the
Pacific to assure the people of the
beneficial intentions of this Govern
ment have had their legitimate effect
in convincing the great mass of them
that peace and safety and prosperity
anu stable government team only be
found in loyal acceptance of the au-
thority of the United States.
The future government of the Philip.
pines rests with the Congress of the
United States.
Few graver responsibilities have
ever been confided to us. If we accept
them in a spirit worthy of our race
and our traditions. great opportunity
comes with them. The islands lie un.
der the shelter of our flag. They are
ours by every title of law and equity
They cannot be abandoned. If we de-
sert them, we leave them at once To
anarchy and finally to barbarism. We
ding them, a golden apple of discorC
among the rival powers, no one OF
which could permit another to seizs
them unquestioned. Their rich plains
and valleys would be the scene of end
less strife and bloodshed. The advent
| of Dewey's fleet In Manila Bay, instead
of being, as we hope, the dawn of q
| new days of freedom and progress, will
have been the beginning of an era OF
misery and violence worse than any
which has darkened their unhappy
past. The suggestion has been made
that We could renounce our authority
over the islands, and, giving them in
dependence, could retain a protector
ate over them. This proposition will
not be found, ! am sure, worthy of
your serious attention. Such an ar
rangement would involve at the out
set cruel breach of faith. 1t would
place the peaceable and loyal majority.
who ask nothing better than to accept
our authority, at the mercy of armed
insurgents. II would make us re-
sponsible for the acts of insurgent
leaders and give us no power to con-
troll them. II would charge us with
the task of protecting them against
each other and defending them
against any foreign power, with which
they chose to quarrel. In short, It
would take from the Congress of the
United States the power of declaring
war and vest that tremendous prero-
gative in the Tagalo leader of the
hour.
II does not seem desirable that /
should recommend ut this time a spe-
ciflc and final form of government for
these islands. When peace shall be
restored 1t will be the duty of Congress
to construct a plan of governmen 1t
which shall establish and maintain
freedom, order and peace in the Philip
pines. The insurrection is still exist

CHILD KIDNAPPED.
Baby Girl Carried Away by Newly En-
gagged Nurse.

New York. May 22.-What happened to
be a bold case of the kidnapping of a
child was reported to the police today
and a score of detectives were at once
sent out in an endeavor to arrest the
Offenders The missing child is Marion
the IS months old daughter of Arthur
CLARK, an employe of a publishing firm.
She was taken. this police say, by a nurse
named Carrie Jones, 81 years old who
was hired last week by the Clarks
through an advertisement. The whole
thing seems to have been clevsrly laid
plot The child was takeL out yesterday
afternoon by the nurse and the empty
baby carriage was found by the police
in Central Park. Soon afterward, Mrs.
Clark received this letter:
Mrs. CLARK: Do not look for your nurse
and baby. They are safe in our posses
sion where they will remain for the pres.
emit. If the matter is. kept out OF the
hands OF the police and newspapers you
will get your baby back safe and sound.
If instead you make q big time about 1t
and publish it all over we will see to it
that you never see her alive again.
We are driven to this by the fact that
we cannot get work and one of us has
q child dying, through want Of proper
treatment and nourishment. Your baby
Is safe and in good hands. The nurse
girl is still with her. If everything is
quiet you will hear from us Monday or
tuesday.
(Signed) Three.
There is evidence to show that the nurse
girl wrote this letter. Mrs. Clark is in
q serious condition and the suspense may
cause her death.

TAXATION OF FRANCHISES.
Gov. Roosevelt's Message to Legislature
on Subject.

Albany, N. Y. May 22.-Ths legisla-
ture met in extra session here tonight
Governor Roosevelt's message on the
franchise tax question was received aud
read in both houses. Adjournment was
taken until tomorrow. The governor in
his message says in part:
SAT present the farmers, the MAI ket
gardeners and the mechanics and trades
men having small holdings, are paying
an improper and excessive portion of the
general taxes while ap the same time
many of the efforts to remedy this state
of affairs, notably in the direction of tax
ing securities are not only unwiss but
inefficient and often serve merely to put
q premium upon dishonesty.
"There is evident injustice in the
light taxation OF corporations. have
not the slightest sympathy with the out
cry against corporations az such, or
against prosperous men OF business. But
while l freely admit this, 1t yet remains
true that corporation which derives Its
power from the state should pay to the
state just percentage of its earnings as
return for the privileges 1t enjoys.
" / deem it wise that the power of lay
ing and assessing tax on franchises
should be lett With the state aubnOrlb1es,
not the local authorities, this being in my
view desirable both for the sake of provid
ing against dishonest favoritisln or OF
discrimination against corporations by
the local authorities and also for this sake
of the working equity as between fran
ohises in different localities"
The Governor further says: "If a fran
chise is worth very little, 1t should be
taxed very light but where the franchise
Is of great value, 1t certainly should be
heavily taxed and the value Is of course
based upon the use of the citys or states
real estate.
1.-The value differs greatly in different
places. l am perfectly well aware as Chief
Justie Marshall says:
- The power of taxation Is the power
of destruction But this applies to every
species of property. If demagogues or
ignorant enthusiasts who are misled by
demagogues could succeed In destroying
wealth, they would of course, simply
work the ruin of the entire community;
and first of all of the unfortunates for
whom they profess to feel an especial in
terest. But the very existence of unrea-
soning hostility to wealth should make
us all the more careful in seeing that
wealth does nothing to justify such
hostility. We are the true friends OF the
men of means, we are the true friends Of
the lawful corporate interests which do
good work for the community, when we
Insist that the man of means and the
great corporations shall pay their full
share of taxes and bear their full share
of the public burdens.

SNOW RESTORED LIFE.
A Victim of Pneumo Practically
Raised From the Dead.
New York Herald.)

DR.. John B. Boucher told the Hartford
Medical Society Monday night how ne
had raised man from the dead by bury
ing him in snow.
The patient was Oh aries +. RobeI ton,
of No. % Buckingham street, Hartford,
Conn. who had been i'll for weeks from
pneumonia. When he was beginning 10
recover his second lung was affected and
the relapse appeared to have fatal end
Ing last Friday morning. Appaie emily he
had passed through all the last stages of
the disease.
His rawlings had ceased, his temperature
was l07. his pulse hal begun to weaken,
his breath came In short gasps, and every
evidence OF the end was at hand. AT 9
O'Clock the last TEST to show life, that
OF She reflex action of the eyeball. had
failed and the nurse informed this doctor
that the man was practically dead. The
family took the fact Cor granted and
preparations were started to quickly re-
move the lifeless body.
10 the doctor there was one desperate
hope left. Placing rubber blanket
under the man he caused snow to be
brought in and made into bed, on
which he laid the patient, stripped naked.
Not a culver of an eyelid, not gasp,
came as he was laid in the frigid mass.
More snow was brought. 1t covered his
arms, his legs and his body Every where
the mass WAS placed tightly around him.
The order was, keep him there till his
temperature goes down to l01.
For forty five minutes the man lay in
the snow with no signs of returning life.
In fact everyone believed him dead. Az
the end of that time the doctor had the
snow removed and again tried the reflex
action test AS he put his finger on the
eye the lid quivered and minute later
the first Pickering pulse sent q thrill
through those who were anxiously wait
ing.
Then came another surprise. The doc
tor. man of experience, suddenly struck
the inssnsible man blow on the face.
The eyes opened.
Hello, doctor," said the patient.
Mr. Robertson is still v,ry i'll. but the
crisis is passed and he Is on the road to
recovery

TO GOVERN PHILIPPINES.
Commission submits Plsnlto
Natives.

Manila, May q. Prof. Schurman. head
of the United States Philippine commits
sion, has submitted the following written
propositions to the Filipinos.
While the final decision as to the form
Of government 10 In the hands OF Con.
grsss, the President under his military
powers, pending the action Of Congress,
stands ready to offer the following form
Of government:
A governor general to be appointed by
the President; . cabinet to be appointed
BY the governor general; all the judges to
be appointed by the President; the heads
of departments and judges to be either
Americans or Filipinos, or both, and also
a general advisory council, its members
to be chosen by the people BY q form Of
suffrage to be hereafter carefully deter
mined upon.
The President earnestly desires that
bloodsned ce~se and that the people OF
the Philippines ut an early date enjoy
the largest measure of self government
compatible with peace and order.
The United States commission prepared
the scheme and the President cabled his
approval Of the form Of the document.
The Fitp1nos nave made no oennlee
except for cessation of
hostilities until they can present tn Q
question of peace to the people.
Prof. Schurman told the Filipinos that
they had no means Of gathering the peo-
pie together as the Americans control
most of the ports. He also reminded them
that q liberal form of government was
offered them and pointed that 1t was
better than the form under Spanish rule.
Gozeta, president of the Filipinos COM
mission, replied that nothing could be
worse than Spanish rule and admitted
that the form Of government proposed
was liberal.
The civilian members of the Filipino
commission have declined to cooperate
with the other members of that com mis-
sion as the former consider ARuinaldo's
latest demands to be preposterous after
Gen. Otis's refusal or an armistice to
his wish for time in order to consult the
Filipino congress.
After conference tomorrow with the
United States commissioners the Filipino
commissioners will lunch with Prof.
Scnurman and will afterwards visit the
vessels composing the American feet.
In spite of the presence of the Filipino
commissioners In Manila, the military
operations continue with undated vigor.
