GET your bible, hunt up Joel
and read in Chap. I, 9Th, 9th and
7th verses as follows: "Awake,
ye drunkards, and weep, and
howl ye drinkers of wine for it is
cut off from your mouth. For a
Nation is come up upon my land,
strong, whose teeth are the teeth
of a lion, and hath the cheek
teeth of a great lion. He hath
laid my wine vat waste and bark
ed my fig tree; he hath made it
clean bare and cast it away"
The only error in this dream OF
Joel, the man of God, dreamed
over 5000 years ago, is, that he
is a 'sshe," and he failed to notice
that she did it with her little
hatchet.

LONDON PRESS ON MESSAGE.
No Fault Can Be Found With Its Language
Toward British Government.

/ LONDON, Dec 1.-THE London daily
papers this morning, looking at President
Roosevelt's message from the point Of
view OF its literary power and the wealth
of weighty matters discussed, regard 1t
as one OF the most characteristic and
remarkable messages ever sent to Con-
sress At the same time the papers rec
ognize it's conservative and business-like
moderation and that no attempt has been
made, as the Morning Post remarks, ito
strike an attitude or carry his listeners
away
On the whole. however, the newspapers
are skeptical of any great outcome from
the Presidents efforts in the direction OF
reform fthe trusts, anti-anarchism OF
reciprocity, the idea being that the Sen
ate will effectualy step in and prevent
any great changes in the existing system
Most of the papers remark upon the tone
oe exultation adopted by President Roosc-
Welt in dealing with the canal question,
but they do not show the slightest dispo-
sition to cavil thereat.
The Times, in an editorial on the mes
sage, says it is distinguished by a clear
ness. frmness and deserved strength
which do not require the rhetorical pyro-
technics of popular platitudes. We GER
tainly have no fault to find" says the
Times with his language towards the
BrltlSh government, or lndeeu with iis
foreign policy generally. It is not easy
to see how the exclusion policy can be
enforced. The United States would to-
day be poorer in many of the finest ele-
ments of it's national chara cter if an en-,
trance fee had been demanded of every
settler in the early days of colonial ton
The. Times thinks that reciprocity and
the trusts will prove thorny problems and
that the Presidents cautious handling OF
the latter will disappoint some of the
passionate social reformers.
