President Roosevelt's message is
like the man. 1t is straight from the
shoulder, and there is no e~Iuivocation
or ambiguity about it, Those who
mistake his meaning are unfamiliar
with the English language.
The president would deal with the
trusts in a manner entirely at vari'
ance with the common idea. Publici'
ty, he believes, will aid in curbing the
rapacity of enormous aggregations o.
capital. Full report should be made
to the government by all corporations
created by the state. in order that the
people may know the full extent of all
business operations and the profits
made therefrom. In this the president
is unquestionably correct. There is
nothing like public opinion to correct
Of public opinion. Public opinion con,
trolls kings and sways the rod of en-
pire. 1t dictates the sermon of the
preacher, wages war, is the master
hand that is advancing civilization,
and it will control the trusts. Let full
- eport be made to the state of all
transactions and corporations of a
questionable nature will soon be rele.
gated to oblivion.
The anarchist receives no comfort.
He believes those who gather togeth-
er to glorify the murder Of a ruler
are guilty of a crime n should be
punished. The laws should he amend
ed accordingly.
In all matters pertaining to the great
west, the president is In full harmony
with western people and with the Wyo-
ming delegation in congress. He ad-
vfses the building of reservoirs for the
conservation of flood waters by the
protection of the forests. but holds
that the waters conserved should be
distributed under state laws and regu-
lations. Reservoirs should be paid for
out Of the revenue derived from the
sale OF public lands. The national
government should in no way inter
fere with vested rights.
In the matter of irrigation the presi-
dent also states another great truth:
That private ownership of water apart
from land cannot prevail without caus-
ing wrong.
In our telegraph columns we give a
concise summary of the message. 1t

time to give it careful study.

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY COUNTRY.

Uncle Sam has again reached a
period in which his prosperity begins
to be troublesome. Not that all of his
sons and daughters are over-burdened
with wealth, although, as a rule. they
fare well enough just now. Uncle
Sans owns purse is a trifle over-flled.
Government sci wants are looking
about to find a way in which to dis
pose of a pile Of cash now $175, 000, 900
in excess of all obligations and grow
ing at the rate of about $50, 000. 900 a
year. The activity of business has
counteracted the reduction in war rev
enue taxation ordered by congress last
session. so that the surplus for this
yea will fall but a few millions short
of that piled up last year.
1t would take the breath of any Eu-
ropean financier to be confronted with
such a bullying purse as now lies in
Americas strong box, but America
does not mind it at all. Five or six
years 6 this government was
wrestling with the problem of short
revenue. The big sums were on the
other side Of the count But even
then this government was not worried,
except because of the effect Upon the
controversy over the money standard.
The country is so big, strong and gen
Ell rally prosperous that 500, 900, 900 or
SO is but a small matter, whether it
be in the form of a void or Of a heap
OF coin. If are low and con-
tinue SO, an additional tax is slapped
upon something and the country pays
up without seeming to notice 1t much.
When money is too plentiful in the cot
fers at Washington it is permitted to
pile up for awhile just % see what it
looks like. An American likes the ap-
pearance of plenty, and the people do
not seem to miss it. Such radical
fluctuations and slap-dash financiering
would make any other nation in the
world think about bankruptcy, but the
average American is b~lissfully ignor-
ant almost that such things exist. The
productive power of American indus
try is So phenomenal hat there seems
absolutely no limit to public prodigali-
ty. Uncle Sam could almost become
a Coal Oil Johnnie among nations and
keep up the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

We want Is that it shall conserve the

NOTHING IN LIFE FOR HER.
Mrs. Mckinley's Spirit is Broken and
Her End is Rapidly Drawing Near.

Canton, o., Dec. 3.-The period OF
period OF her melancholy. 1t becomes
daily more and more apparent that all
her ambition II her hope lie buried
with her lamented husband in West
Lawn cemetery. The cruel bullet Of
the assassin has entered her heart even
more certainly that it did the body OF
the stricken chief of the nation.
To Mrs. Mckinley life is now out a
void. She expressed to DR.. Manches-
ter. the pastor and loving friend OF the
Mckinleys shortly after the martyred
join her husband. This desire is still
present. She talks but little to her
friends. but sits at home and spends
much time weeping, as she thinks of
him who was OF many years her stay
and comforter.
The day after the president was laid
in the vault in West Lawn cemetery
Mrs. Mckinley was driven to the tomb,
was allowed to enter and to remain for
a short time beside the casket contain
ing her beloved dead. The visit vas
repeated daily. In order to make the
stay as comfortable as possible for her.
a rocking chair was placed in the vault
beside the casket and a rug was over
the floor to prevent dampness from
causing Mrs. Mckinley any i'll effects.
Friends have at last prevailed on her
not to enter the vault, and her visits
now are to the tomb and to the family
lot, where rests the ashes of her chill
dren.
Callers on Mrs. Mckinley are but
few. as she is so respondent that w
her most intimate friends have failed
to bring back any degree of cheer to
her. Her pleasures. If she has any,
are in the past, and mayhap in think
ing of the future when her spirit shall
commune with hat of her husband. To
her life, indeed, Is but an empty
dream . How long she will survive, OF
course, no one knows, but C%antonians
who know her and her surroundings
best cannot but think that the sooth
sayer who said she would not live
more than one ear after her hus-
bands death was probably right.

city of Washington, is the 57th con-
gress to convene since the adoption
of the constitution in 1888, but vast
changes have taken place in both
house and senate since the first or
ganization of those bodies.
The senate as first organized was
composed of % members, as the con-
stitution was at first ratified by only
II of the states, two of the original
states North Carolina and Rhode
Island) ratified the constitution and
elected their members of congress
two years later. The senate, when
full, is now composed of 80 members,
being two from each state.
But the greatest change has taken
place in the house of representatives
The membership of the first house
was G5, being one member for each
$4,000 of population. The member
ship of that body has grown to S57,
being one member for each 173,9C1
of population. It's great size makes
it unwieldy, and it is difficult to get
any matter through the house. Most
of the business is done by commit
tees.
The members who were sworn in
at the opening of the session were
elected in November, 1900, more than
year ago, and while they did not
begin their active duties until last
Monday, they have been drawing
their salaries from the government
since the 4th of March last.
The work that is before the pres
ent congress is perhaps no more or
less important than that which faced
the seth congress. Aside from the
legislation required on account of
our new possessions, the most i'm
portant matters to Re considered will
be the isthmian canal and the tariff.
While President Mckinley in his
last speech indicated that he be-
lieved the time had come when high
tariff should give way in the inter-
ests of trade expansion, it is doubt
full if any material reductions will be
made, as the tariff barons are well or
ganized and will fight any proposed
of their profits.

CHICAGO scHooLTEAcHERs.

A signal triumph has just been won
by two Chicago schOOlteachers over
the most powerful corporations aft
that city: and the more fully the de-
tails of the struggle become known,
the more remarkable their victory
apears.
The appropriations for schools in
Chicago have long been inadequate,
and whenever the board of education
needed $1,OO0,00O or $2,000,000 for
any purpose, it has been in the habit
of deducting it from the teachers

shortage of salary money was due

porations were evading their legal

Miss Catherine Goggin. committee
10 investigate. Then, as the Boston
Journal of Education says, the bat
tie royal began between two little
schoolmarms and all the most power
full corporations and trusts in the
state combined" and the school
marms won.
The women's inquiries revealed a
most extraordinary state of things.
Up to 1875, the railroads of Illinois
had been assessed an annual tax on
their franchises. In 1874 the assess
ment was $31 100000; in 1875. only
$22 ,O00.O 900; and from 1875 to the
present time, they have not been
assessed at all. In 1874, the fran
chises of the two little horsecar lines,
which Chicago then had. were taxed
at $1,OOO,OOO, but in 1899, the fran
chises of the 200 miles of electric
and cable car lines in Chicago were
not taxed a cent. About 1875 the
railroads. apparently, found out that
it was cheaper to bride the officials
whose duty it was to apportion their
taxes than it was to pay the tax.
Other corporations found out the
same thing. OF % large corporations
that the teachers investigated, the
majority were not assessed at all,
and the others We're assessed ON only
a small fraction of their actual prop
erty. These % corporations includ-
ed the gas and coke company. the
telephone company, an electric COM
puuy, dIlu ~ StiSSl COMPANIES.
The women tried to induce the Of
ficials, whose duty it was to tax
these corporations, to tax them. Find
ing that they were in league with the
taX-dodgers and were determined not
to comply with the law. the women
engaged an able lawyer and took
legal action to compel the officials
to do their duty. The corporations
fought hard; they exhausted every
resource of evasion and delay; they
appealed the case up from court to
court; but the law was clear and the
evidence of fraud overwhelming. and
the supreme court of Illinois had
ruled that they must pay. The decis-
ion will add millions every year to
