on the Message.
London. Dee. practically all the pa
pers here publish a long summary Of
President Roosevelts message to con-
gress The Daily News, in an editorial on
the subject. says:
1T shows a bold man struggling with
I the devil FISH of party intrigue and is in
refreshing contrast to the spread eagle
ism of the early period Of American JingO-
ism. President Roosevelt has set him
self a very high ideal of conduct in public
/ life and We have no doubt he viii rise
TO it"
Most Of the afternoon papers prefer to
I await the publication of the text Of Pres
{ idenL ROOseVelts message rather than
[ comment on the abridgment made public
mere. The Pail Mall Gazette. however,
thinks the message will win the praises
of all except the FeniaE clubs, to which
Mr.. Redmond is spOuting seditiOn.'
It says that the ideas contained in it
are those Of wise head firmly set on
its shoulders"
The Pail Mall Gazette, highly approving
/ or the presidents suggestion relative to
| represSlVe measures to prevent. as the
paper puts it, America from becoming
the dumping ground of the blOckheads
and starVlings Of Europe remarks that
{ there is a contrast between this advocacy
of strengthening restrictive measures and
the callOUs Indifference of the British leg
. iSlators TO flooding the east end of Lon
don with INDECENT aliens"
The Westminster Gazette considers that
/ the reference to the trusts spells a good
deal of uncertainty for the American
market" and adds: The high tariff OF
the United States has created an arti-
/ Hcial position Suder which the trusts have
prOspered- Therefore. their business
. must be regulated artificially."
The St James Gazette saws: 1T is
gratifying TO find that the statesmen of
"a country Ike the United States are not
/ AFRAID 70 make proposals on the subject
OF dnatchlSm- which, on the surface are
! open TO the criticism that they are sub
versive of personal liberty. There is no
sufer sign of true craftsmanship than the
nSlgnts which are realized when a good
theory becomes miSchievOus IN practice ."

Yes, he replied. TN spite of the his
