THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

At the first fully attended meeting
of his cabinet this week President
Roosevelt announced that he would
write his entire message himself in
stead of calling upon the various
members TO write those portions deal
ing with the work of their respec-
tive departments. He added that it
was his intention to state the facts.
without making recommendations
in regard to several of the important
matters Congress would have to con.
slider. He read some passages from
the message and the impression of his
advisers was that the paper would be
a conservative, terse production,
somewhat shorter than his predeces-
sors have sent to Congress. 1t is said
that he will recommend the establish
ment of department of commerce
and industry.
On some subjctes it is his desire to
learn the views of prominent Republi-
can Senators, and to that end he has
summoned a number to the White
House. The Hay Pauncefote treaty
will also be literally discussed. The
President has had conference with
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island.
who advised President Mckinley that
the Senate was not favorable to any
more reciprocity treaties or to any
revision of the Dingley tariff bill.
What he advised President Roosevelt
is not known, although good deal of
curiosity attaches to his call.

submitted differs from that which
was expected the country is willing

the conduct of Admiral Schley in

For his services in Cuba Col. Wood

service. For capturing Aguinaldo,
Col. Funston was given similar
precedence. In the army and the

for giving precedence to Clark of

cry for typesetting necessarily comes

New type for the advertising col

makeup of the paper. New furni-
ture and fixtures have been provided,
and radical Encouragement of the

The change is a radical one, and
several days will necessarily elapse
before the new order of things will be
in full and perfect operation. There
will be some type setting by hand
till the operators have mastered the
art of setting by machinery.
The new dress of advertising type
and new material to give advertise
ments an effective setting will enable
both the Waterman and the Journal
the better to serve their advertising
customers, and these advantages will
be improved to the utmost extent.
The body type that has been used
on the Waterman and Journal for
some eighteen years has conveyed to

consigned to the "hell-box'' with
some natural regrets, and with the
