PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Herald today gives the main
portions of President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress, the section In refer.
ence to trusts being given in full. BY
perusal it will be observed that the
chief executive of this nation has
given the question serious thought and
fully realizes that something must be
done to curb the grasping corpora
tons. but, as the president says, it
VIII require the careful handling Of
the best minds in order that Justice
may prevail and the goose that lays
the golden egg not killed or crippled.
The trust problem is one that is going
to tax the best energies of the most
experienced Legislators. but with
Roosevelt extending guiding hand
The Herald has no fears of the result
We have president who is not afraid
OF aggregated wealth and this is es-
pecially shown by the request that
tariff be removed from anthracite
coal, which means that in case of fu-
ture strikes the people will not be at
the mercy of the coal trust but that
foreign fuel can be shipped in and
the poor people not made to suffer
at the expense of the trusts. This
suggestion of the president will meet
with universal approval.
The president reviews our relations
with the world generally as well as
home affairs in their different phases.
but of course, those who desire full
text of what the president has to say,
will get same in Denver papers as it
would require twenty-five to thirty
columns OF Herald space to give 1t in
full but the main points are fully
covered and this is about all the aver
age reader desires-in fact, 1t is just
what nine out of ten want.

The settlement of Alaska has be-
come a matter of general interest to
American land seekers. Thousands OF
Americans are buying western lands
in Canada where the climate is more
severe than in many parts of our
great territory in the northwest. Gen
eral Greely and Secretary Wilson OF
the department of agriculture, have
reported favorably on the agricultural
and pastoral possibilities of Alaska
and the people of the territory will
urge congress at the approaching ses-
sion. to pass law to open the region
20 farmers and stock rangers. A bill
has been drafted for this purpose and
placed in the hands of a committee OF
Alaskans. 1t embodies the chief fea-
lures of the Oregon donation act OF
1850 and does not apply to mineral
claims. A donation of 320 acres is
proposed for an unmarried man. or
$40 acres for a married man and his
wife. if American citizens. after a resi-
dence upon the land and its cultivation
for two years.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

Already the good effects of the
election of Republican state govern
ment are being felt in the Cripple
Creek district Business is improving
steadily and it begins to look as If
there would be another boom during
the winter The best barometer in
the stock brokers' interests. and the
brokers are already getting ready for
the coming boom. Much development
work is being arranged for and new
companies will be fioated. When the
stock brokers are prosperous, the mer-
chants and the people generally are
prosperous. The brokers predict a
boom in business generally and their
prediction is not usually in the wrong.
In the meantime ii behooves all bust
ness men TO do their share in increas-
ing the general prosperity. By all
means quit talking hard times; brace
up and look on the bright side OF the
situation. This alone will go long
ways in bringing return OF the pros
pie Creek Star.
