fully upheld; the right of trial by jury re-
spected and defended. The rule Of the
courts should assure the public OF the
prompt trial of those charged with crim.-
nal offenses, and upon conviction the pun
ishmeut should be commensurate with the
enormity of the crime.
Those who, in disregard of law and pub

OF court and jury, constitute themselves
judges and executioners, should not es
cape the severest penalties for their grave
crimes.

In Conclusion.

Presented to this congress are great OPP
portunities. With them come great re-
sponsibilities. The power confided to us
increases the weight of our obligations to
the people, and we must be profoundly
sensitive of them as we contemplate the
new and grave problems which confront
us. Aiming only at the public good, we
cannot err. A right Interpretation of the
peoples will and of duty cannot fail to in
sure wise measures for the welfare of the
islands which have come under the
authority of the United States, and inure
to the common interest and lasting honor
of our country. Never has this nation
had more abundant cause than during the
past year for thankfulness to God for
manifold blessings and mercies, for which
we make reverent acknowledgement.

Hawaiian Islands.

Some ernbarraSs ment in adnlln1Stra-4
| ton has occurred by reason of the pc
culiar status which the Hawaiian
1isiands at present occupy under the
joint resolution of annexation approved
July Z, 1893. While BY that resolution.
| the republic of Hawaii as an independ-
ant nation was extinguished, its SOW
ereignty destroyed, and its property
and possessions vested in the United
lStates,3 yet a complete establishment
for its government under our system
was not effected. While the municipal
laws of the islands not enacted for the
lsfuliillment of treaties and not incon
sistent with the joint resolution or COM
ltrary to the constitution of the United.
Estates or any of it's treaties remain in
force; yet these laws relate only TO the
social and internal affairs of the islands
Land do not touch many subjects of inn
l.portance which are or broader national
character. For example, the Hawaiian.
l8republic was Invested of all title to the
Ispubic lands in the islands.

dispose of lands to settlers desiring to
lstakeup homestead sites, but is without
power to give complete title in cases

Iunder lease or other conditions which
carry with them the right to the pur-s
4 chaser, lessee, or settler to have a full
| title granted to him upon compliance
| With the conditions prescribed by Law
os by his particular agreement of entry
| Questions of doubt and difficulty have
Ialso arisen with reference to the collec-
tion of tonnage tax on vessels coming

the status of Chinese in the islands.

10 patents and Copyrights, as to the

elections in accordance with the provi-

choice of various officers and as to
several other matters of detail touching
he Interests both of the island and the
federal government.
by the resolution of annexation the
president WAS directed 70 appoint as'e
commissioners to recommend to con

Memo rial Bridge.

Congress at its last session appropriated
$4,000 to enable the chief engineer Of the
army TO continue the examination of the
subject. and TO make or secure designs,
calculations and estimates for a memorial
bridge from the most convenient point of
the Naval Observatory ground, or ada
cent thereto, across the Potomac river to
the most convenient point of the Airing
ton estate property. In accordance with
the provisions OF this act the chief of engi-
neers has selected four eminent bridge en-
neers to submit competitive designs for a
bridge combining the clements of strength
and durability and such architectural EN-
bellishments and characterization as Will
fifty apply to the dedication q memorial
to American PATRIOTISM The designs are
now being prepared, and as soon as com
pleted VIII be submitted to congress by
the secretary of war. The proposed bridge
would he a convenience to all the people
from every part of the country who visit
the national cemetery. an ornament to the
capital of the nation, and forever stand as
a monument to american patriotism. 1
do not doubt that congress will give the
enterprise still further proof of its favor
and approval.

An Anniversary.

The l4th Of December will be the one
hundredth anniversary of the death of

republic has had the priceless advantage
of the lofty standard of chAracterand con-
duct which he bequeathed TO the Ameri-
can people Ii is an inheritance which
time, instead OF wasting. continually in
creases and eariches. We may justly hope
that in the wears TO come the benignant
influence of the father of his country may
be even more potent for good than in the
century which is drawing to a close.
have been glad TO learnthat in many parts
of the country the people will fittingly OBJ
serve this historic anniversary.

The executive order of May6 1926, ex-
tending the limits of the classified service,
brought within the operation of the civil
service law and rules nearly all Of the ex-
ecutive civil service not previously classi-
fed.
Some of the inclusions were found to be
wholly illogical and unsuited to the work
of the several departments. The applica-
ton OF the rules to many of the places so
included was found to result in friction
and embarrassment. After long and very
careful consideration it became evident to
the heads of the departments, responsible
for their efficiency, that in order to re-
move these difficulties and promote an eff
Gent and harmonious administration Ger
tain amendments We're necessary. These
amendments We're promulgated by me in
executive order dated May 30, ls99
The principal purpose of the order was
to except from competitive examination
certain places Involving fiduciary respon-
sibilities or duties of a strictly confiden-
ual, scientific or executive character,
which it was thought might better be
titled either by non-competitive examina-
ton. or in the discretion of the appoint
ing officer, then by open competition.
These places We're comparatively few in
number. The order provides for the fill
ing OF much larger number of places
mainly in the outside service of the war
department, By what is known as the reg
istration system. under regulations to be
approved by thepresident, similarto those
winch have produced such admirable re-
suits IN the navy yard service.
AL OF the amendments had for their
inaln object a more efficient and salts
factory administration OF the system of
appointments established by the civil
service law. The results attained show
that under their operation the public
service has improved and that the civil
service system is relieved OF many objec-
tionsbie features which heretofore sub
iected il stcriticism and The admin
i-ti tive officers 20 the charge OF unbusi
