President Roogevelt,s Message.

The message OF President Roosevelt,
which has been looked forward 10 with
much interest. was read IN congress
last Tuesday. and while il II an able
statement Of the condition Of govern
mental affairs. il lacks in some r.
speCts that vigor which was naturally
expected from a man Of Mr. hoose-
velt's strong personality.
This Is notably the ease in the treat
ment OF the tariff and reciprocity IL
is true that. coming tO the presidency
by the death OF Mr. Mckinley. and
announcing a determination Ia carry
out the policy of his predecessor. II
was but natural and becoming for Mr..
Roosevelt to stav wen within the lines
marked out. But he has been even
more conservative than that lie mas
failed To put into his recommendations
to congress that force which marked
Nr. NcKfnley's uttcrances AT Buffalo
the dav before the assassin's bullet
struck him down. and which have all
the force of a diving message 10 HIS
people. Mir NcKinley's speech on
