PRESIDENT RoosEvELr,s MESSAGE.

The first message Of President RooSe-

topics and fills two newspaper pages in
solid BREWER type. Very few will read
it entire because of its lack of brevity.
Afth a cursory glance, the message ap-
pears to be an able state paper, which
our readers may peruse Mt their leisure.
The document is less radical than many
anticipated. In it he deals with anar
chy, immigration, trusts and combines
Interstate commerce, forestry, reclama-
ton of arid lands, reciprocity, the Mon
roe doctrine, the army and navy, the
Indians, civil service, postal affairs, the
isthmian canal, Cuba, and our colonial
possessions. Instead of attempting to
comment on these multlfarious subjects
we shall contine ourself to his remarks
on the Philippine Islands, which we
consider the most important topic Of all.
Referring to them he says in part:
I'm the Philippines our problem is
larger. They are very rich tropical is
lands, inhabited by many varying
tribes, representing widely different
stages of progress toward civilization.
Our earnest effort is to help these PEG,

".rhc English who settled and warred

barbarous white frontiersmen of the
nineteenth century have acted toward
the alien races with whom they have
been brought in contact. There is no
language in which to paint the llideous
atrocities committed in the Irish war OF

ed to the highest English officials. In

tally racial; whether the sovereign Of

bear. In Ireland the Catholic priesthood
was the sole friend, standby, and COM
forter of hunted and despairing peo-
pie. In the Netherlands and on the
high seas Professionalism was the creed
Of liberty. In Ireland it was one of
the masks Worn by the alien oppressor.' -

Of the president of the United States,
and they show that he has read Anglo
Irish history intelligently. 1t is agree

sor' in her relations with weak races.

MORAL
SVASION

Women in a neighboring Illinois
city are making ready to exert an in
fuence on local politics through o
al suasion, says a st. Louis paper.
Among the objects they wish to attain,
besides the customary ones of stopping
the men from drinking, smoking and
chewing gum, are a few others which
they seem more likely to accomplish
than the first categorical, such as
cleaning the streets, planting trees,
and the abolition of fences and dogs,
except those tied with a string. Moral
suasion is a great deal more effective
in sweeping a street than in stopping
the consumption Of beer. There is no
difference of opinion over the advan-
tage of keeping a street clean, though
there may be a stubborn opposition to
paying for it. Moral suasion and neigh
borly example are strong influences
against dirt. One good lawn properly
rolled and watered has been known to
regenerate a whole block, and has in
