T o BRIEF.
Such May President ROOsevelt's First
Message to Congress De
Made,

President Roosevelt is alike correct
in his determination upon a brief but
emphatic message to congress and in
his conviction that a president should
not recommend specific legislation to
congress, contenting himself, instead,
with pointing out the need of legis-
lation against certain evils and leav-
ing congress to furnish the remedy.
Nevertheless, a message such as 10
now contemplated by the president
may be effectively potent both in wise
guidance of his party and in helpful
influence bearing upon congressional
action. Brevity in such a message
should intensity, not dissipate, that
documents forcefulness. The fact
that the president sees certain perils
in existing conditions, and yet leaves
to congress without dictation the
duty ~devolving exclusively upon that
legislative body, should insure the
faithful performance of the duty.
If, for instance, President Roose-
welt entertains earnest convictions Of
the evils of the trust system as now
prevailing, he can very briefly and
yet with compelling emphasis indi-
cate TO congress the necessity for
laws which shall properly restrict tho
trusts.
If, also, he perceives the malign
features of the MISUNDERSTANDING
Oil ship subsidy bill, so apparent to
the people that all the money and
power of the syndicates failed to jam
the bill through the last congress, a
very few words from the president
should render impossible that bills
passage during the approaching ses-
sion. In neither ease will there be
necessity for prolonged discussion OF
for dictation of congressional action.
The new presidents first message
to congress will be awaited with pro-
found interest. He is known to be
apprehensive of the growing domi-
nance of the trusts. He is believed
to be opposed to the passage of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Oil ship subsidy
bill. The Forthcoming message
should. make his position on these is.
sues clear beyond all doubting.-St
Louis Republic.

QUESTION OF THE TARIFF.
Protected Interests in Line to De"ess
Babcock's Plans fss n
Revision.


Congressman Grosvenor, OF emo,
Familiarity known as the "McKif-sy
ia bulator'' and as the mou.hpiecs OF
the late presidents Administrations IN
the house of representatives, has
been inspecting the returns of the re-
cent elections, and he says that the
returns mean that the protective
tariff is no more to be revised or
modified than the Ten Command
ments." This is lot in line with the
last speech made by President Nc
Kinley in Buffalo, the day before he
was assassinated, nor is it in line
with the public ~utterances of MI.
Roosevelt while still vice president.
For disguise it as they may, and quib-
BILE over words as much as they
choose, the republican leaders know
as well as we do that reciprocity is,
in effect, a modification of the pro-
t~ective tariff system as heretofore
practiced and understood, and that
it amounts to IN entering wedge in
the direction of tariff reform,
through the reduction of the present
almost prohibitive duties.
Such declarations as this of Mr..
Grosvenor's would seem to mean, il
we assume that he is well advised
as to his party's conduct and line OF
policy at the coming session of con.
gress, that short shrift will be made
of Mr.. Babcock's plans of tariff re-
vision, and that the ratification OF
President McKinley's reciprocity
treaties win again be defeated by the
protected interests" 1t has beer
minated that President Roosevelt's
message will contain no specific, ex
plicit reciprocity recommendations
But in any event, the congress, ant
not the executive, makes tariffs, anG
the senate, not the president, con
firms treaties.
The effect of this policy upon thu
republican reformers of the middl,
west can only be conjectured, as yet
In Iowa, especially, a governor hal
just been elected who was, only
few years ago, called an out-and-ou
free trader; and the Iowa republican
platform this year squinted decided
ly in the direction of tariff reform
If Mr.. Grosvenor is right, and thes'
low-tariff republicans are to get tn
cold shoulder in congress, it is tn,
best Jews for the democratic part,
that we have heard in many a day.

TARIFF FACTIONS FORMING
0sins to Pieces over the Pro-
lection Policy.

It il evident from the dispatches
from Washington to different organs
of public opinion that the republican
party is getting to be more and more
q house divided against itself, so far
as the question of protection is con
cerned.
There energies a faction which is
opposed TO any disturbance of Ding
leyism, either by direct legislation or
by treaty. This extreme bourbon fac
| ton to have control of the
organization of the new house of rep
resentatives, to have exclusive possess
sion of the key to McKinley's last
speech and to be able to dictate the
| policy of congress in both branches.
A second faction energies which
favors Abandonment of the extreme
Dingley duties on most things and
resort to reciprocity treaties with all
nations which will let down their
tariff bars against American products
in return for the letting down of
u bars against their products. Mr..
Mckinley's last speech indicated that
he had determined to put himself at
the head of this faction with the e.
pectation of making it dominant.
There emerges also a third faction,
which proposes to attack the Dingley
duties directly, but only such of them
as are for monopoly solely. This fac
ton, of which Mr.. Babcock is a con-
%spicuous leader, sees no possible ex-
cuse for tariff protection of Amer
lean producers of articles which they
sell in foreign markets not only in
open competition with all corners, blu
in face of hostile tariffs.
While the first of these factions has
recovered from the CONSERVATION
into which it was thrown by Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Buffalo speech and now
claims to be the whole party. the 9th
ers are by no means disposed to con
cede the claim.
Mr.. Babcock recently returned from
Europe as firmly resolved as ever te
push his bill to deprive the monster
steel trust of protection. He showed
that the steel monopoly could turr
out products cheaper than they could
be turned out anywhere else in the
world and that it was in fact using
the Dingley duties merely as an in
strument for the practice of extor
ton upon the American people.
Senator Cullom, representing tn,
reciprocity faction, has declared with
in the last day or two that the peo
pie of the west are generally il
favor of reciprocity treaties and tar
if concessions as the best means o
e%nlarging their foreign markets.
Representative Prince, of Illinois, i
quoted as saying hat he expects
stubborn fight during the coming ses
sion for lower duties by treaties O
by direct legislation.
:. Western constituencies are tired o
[ paying high prices for merchandise
sold to foreigners for low prices an
tired of seeing foreign markets close,
against them in retaliation for on
! high duties. But il is extremel,
| doubtful whether they will ever OF
tain relief through the republicar
party.-Chicago Chronicle.

The republican party, the cham
pion of aggregated wealth, of an ag-
gressive foreign policy, opening new
markets for our trade abroad; the
democratic party advocating equality
of opportunity at home so that the
benefits won by the nation shall not
be sequestered by the few. Coupled
with this, the democratic party is to
stand ready to check the arrogant
power of certain corporations by gov
eminent ownership, but handicapped
by professeS members and even lead
ers who are hand-in-glove with the re-
publicans. 1t may be that the battle
will be set in array between these two
greet forces. 1t would be a grim con-
test.-Baltimore Sun.

HI PHILIPPINE ARMY.
Ne Prospect of a Reduction In the
"MiIitary Guard" Now in
Occupation.

According to the annual report of
Lieut.. Gen. Miles the total strength of
the United States army at the present
time is S4,513. of which number 1929
are in the"Philippines. Thus more than
half the entire army are now occu-
pied in reducing to submission the is
lands which were purchased from
Spain at forced sale for $40, 900, 900
about three years ago, the remaining
minority of IL military forces being
scattered through the United States,
Cuba, Porto Rico and China.
The entire army of the United States,
officers and men, at the time of the
last annual report before the outbreak
of the war with Spain, amounted to
1859. At the present time there are
in the United States itself. exclusive
of outlying possessions and Cuba, 3D.
STA men and officers, or over 5000 more
than the entire army of four years
ago. In the Philippines alone there
are now nearly 10000 more than the
entire army of the United States at
that time.
1t is now more than three years
since the ia with Spain was ended,
nearly two years since the "insurrec-
ton" of the Filipinos was officially an
nounced to be suppressed, and about a
year since preparations were making
for the reduction of the military
guard" in the Philippines to a maxi
mum Of 10000 men. To-day there are
yer $4,000 in occupation, either in
active campaign service or awaiting
the call to battle at any moment.
There is no longer talk of reducing
the forces in the Philippines TO 10000
men. but the question is how to main
tain the troops there at the present
number.
The 500, O00,0 900 paid to Spain Is a
trifing item in the cost so far to the
United States Of the Philippine pur-
chase. 1t will be utterly insignificant
in comparison with the aggregate cost
in cash within a few years at the pres
ent rate, to say nothing of the far
greater cost in what cannot be com
puted in money.-N. Y. World.

POI ICE HAVE TRUNK
 MYSTERY TO SOLVE

Mystery dark and deep surrounds a trunk which the police department has in its possession.
 All during the morning hours yester- day 1t stood in Second avenue in front of the postoffice, and legion was the name of those who gathered there to look at 1t and speculate on how it came to be there
 Through all the rain 1t stood and when that rain was frozen into snow, a white cover was laid across the top.
 When, how and why the trunk arrived On the sidewalk Is as much a mystery as the trunk itself. No one saw 1t placed there, or If any one did they have not testified to the fact, and 1t was evidently left there long time in the rain judging from the condition of the contents. It must have been placed there in the early hours yesterday morning when all good people were still abed taking their morn ing nap.
 It Is a comparatively new trunk. and
