Latest Fad of Critics.

The latest fad of critics, the New
York Press says, is to rebel against
the names of months. They point out
that it is absurd for Europeans and
Americans of today to dedicate one
sixth of the year to the memory of
Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name
q third after heather gods and god
desses, to have two months Of doubt
full nomenclature, and to designate the
remaining four by misleading numer-
icals, September being obviously ninth
and not seventh in order.

ton on Trusts.

Washington, Nov. 21.-President
Roosevelt, in his message to con
gress, will not only recommend the
re-enactment Of the Chinese exclusion
act, but will go further and recon-
mend that it be strengthened to in
crease its efficiency. The president
gave this information to Representa-.
tive Needhan, of California, who
talked with him upon the subject
The president has astonished his
friends as we'll as critics by letting
it be known to the members OF the
cabinet that his first annual message
is going to be the longest on record.
A message of $4,000 or 10000 words
coming after several years Of effort
to make them shorter, rather than
longer. will be an innovation that will
not likely be popular.
1t may be long enough to fill about
Is columns of an ordinary newspaper
The president tried parts Of it on the
cabinet for a couple of hours, and
then had hardly dipped well into the
many subjects that he wants to dis
euss.
So far as can be learned now Pres
ident Roosevelt will discuss every
puDHC question Ill WHICH the peOpie
of the United States are at present
interested and which he thinks will or
ought to come before congress during
the life of the present administration
No subject will be neglected. but
those to whom the president has
shown the message declare that he
Will be very ehary of making specific
recommendations for legislation OF
any kind.
The nearest he will come to it, it is
said, is his discussion of trusts, fn
which he will suggest that 1t will be
good thing for the country to know
just what the so-called trusts are
doing through a system of reports te
be forwarded to Washington at regu
lar intervals and compiled in such
shape that it will be ostensibly easy
to lay the heavy hand of the law upon
the violators Of it.
