and Congress ia urged to participate in
the celebration of John Marshall Day on
February next. as we'll as in the cen
tennial anniversary of the establishment
ofthe seat of Government in the District
of Columbia The message concludes:
"In our great prosperity we must guard
against the danger it invites of extrava-
gance in Government expenditures and
appropriations, and the chosen Representa-
lives ofihe people will, I donbt not, fur
nish an example in their legislation Of
that wise economy which in a season OF
plenty husbands for the future. In this
era of great business activity and oppor-
unity caution is not untimely. Il willnot
abaie, but strengthen confluence. 1t will
not retard, but promote legitimate indus
trial and commercial expansion. Our
growing power brings with it temp tatious
and perils requiring constant vigilance to
avoid, 1t must not be used to invite con-
iiicts, nor for oppression. but for the more
effective maintenance of those principles
of equality and justice upon which our
institutions and happiness depend. Let
US keep always in mind that the founda-
ton of our Government is liberty; It's
superstructure, peace"
