GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES

The 14th of December will be the one
hundredth anniversary OF the death Of Wash
tngton: For a hundred years the republic has
had the priceless advantage of the lofty
standard of character and conduct which he
bequeathed to the American people. It is an
Inheritance which time, instead of wasting,
continually increases and enriches We may
Justly hope that in the years to come the
benehcent influence OF the Father of His Coun-
try may, be even more potent for good than in
the century which Is drawing to close
have been glad to learn that in many parts OF
the country the people will fttingly observe
this historic anniversary
. Presented to this congress are great OPP
portunlties. With them come great RESPONSE
bilities. The power confded to us increase
the weight Of our obligation to the people.
e We contemplate the new and grave problems
which confront uA Aiming only at the public
good, we cannot err. a right Interpretation
Of the peoples Will and Of duty cannot fal!
the Islands which have come under the au-
thority OF the United States and inure to the
common interest and lasting honor of our
country. Never has this nation had mere
thAnkfulness TO GOD for manifold bleasingS

By the resolution of annexation the president
was directed to appoint five commissioners
to recommend to congress such legislation con-

duly appointed and after a careful investiga-
tion and study Of the system of laws and
government prevailing in the islands and Of
the conditions existing there they prepared a
bill to provide a government under the title
The 'sTerritory of Havvaii.'
The report of the committee, with the bill
which they prepared, was transmitted by me
to congress on Dec. 6. 1903, but the bill still
awaits final action.
The. people of these islands are entitled to
the benefits and privileges of our constitution
but in the absence Of any act of congress
providing for federal courts in the island and
for a procedure by which appeals, writs Of
for the enforcement of civil rights may be
prosecuted, they are powerlessi to secure their
enforcement by the judgment of the courts Of
the United States. 1t is manifestly important,

a judicial district, providing for the appoint
ment Of g. Judge and other proper officers and
methods of procedure in appellate proceedings.

Immediate Legislative Relief Is Ur-

A necessity for immediate legislative relief
exists in the territory of Alaska. Substantially
the only law providing civil government for
this territory is the act Of May II. 1884. This
for the administration of affairs in a country
sparsely inhabited by civilized people and un-
important in trade and production. as was
Alaska at the time this act was passed.

for local self-government and more numerous
conveniences Of civil and judicial administra-
tton. Settlements have grown up in various
places, constituting in point of population and
business cities Of thousands of Inhabitants.

passed: These proceedings ard the ordinances
passed by such municipalities are without
statutory stat authority and have no sanction ex-

peace, good order and lawful conduct.
The whole vast area Of Alaska comprises but
one judicial district, with one judge, one mar

and criminal business has more than doubled
within the past year and is many times great
er, both in volume and Importance. than it
was in 1884. The duties Of the Judge require
him to travel thousands Of miles to discharge
his judicial duties at the various places desie-
mated for that purpose. The territory should
be divided into at least two districts, and an
additional judge, district attorney, marshal
and other appropriate officers be provided

Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Iii
years, having been born in 1888. He is an
ardent friend to Peruna and speaks of it in
the following terms:
"During my long life have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds,
catarrh and diarrhoa. I had always sup
posed these affections to be different, dis
eases, but have learned from DR.. Hart
mans books that these affections are the
same and are properly called catarrh.
Gas for Dr. Hartmans remedy, Peruna,
Ihave found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
"PeraIse0 has been 91ey standby
for s,aany gears, and I attribute mig
good health and a,sy extreme age to
this remedy. 1T exactly meets all
ma requirements.

tirely for the many little things for which
I.need medicine. I believe it to be espe-
cially valuable to old people,

the United States: the immigration Of people

navigation laws; the regulaton Of the current

cipal markets she had long enjoyed, and our
tariffs have been continued against her prod
