ROOSEVELT TO CONGRESS.
Continued from LIST page.

Icy to fail to recognize this need More
over, II is unworthy Of mighty and gen.
er0ug nation, itself the greatest ard most
successful republic In history. to refuse TO
stretch out helping hand to young and
weak sister republic Just entering upon Its
career Of independence. We should al
ways fearlessly insist upon our rights In
the face Of the strong, and we should with
ungrudging hand do our generous duty BY
the weak. 1urge the adoption Of reciprocity
with Cuba not only because II Is emlneptly
for our own interests to control the Cuban
market and by every means to foster our
supremacy In the tropical lands and waters
south Of US, but also because we, OF the
giant republic Of the north, should make
all our sister nations Of the American con-
tinent feel that whenever they will permit
II we desire to show ourselves dlsnterest-
eddy and effectively their friend.
International Arbitration.
Az civilization grows warfare becomes
less and less the normal condition OF
foreign relations. The last century has
seen a marked dlmnution OF wars be-
tween civilized powers; wars with unclv-
ilized powers are largely mere matters Of
international police duty, essential for
the welfare Of the world. Wherever pos
sible, arbitration or some similar method
should be employed In lieu OF war to settle
difficulties between civilized nations, al
though as yet the world has not progressed
sufficiently to render II possible, or neces-
sarily desirable, to invoke arbitration In
every case. The formation Of the inter-
national tribunal which sits at The
Hague Is an event OF good omen from
which great consequences for the well
fare of all mankind may flow. II Is far
better, where possible, to invoke such q
permanent tribunal than to create spe-
cial arbitrator for a given purpose.
II Is q matter Of SINCERE congratulation
to our country that the United States
and Mexico should have been the first TO
use the good offices OF The Hague court.
This was done last summer with most
satisfactory results In the case OF
claim at issue between US and our sister
republic. 1t Is earnestly to be hoped
that this first case will serve as a. prece-
dent for others, In which not only the
United States, but foreign nations may
take advantage of the machinery al
ready in existence at The Hague.
I commend TO the favorable conslderra-
ton of the congress the Hawaiian fire
claims, which were the subject OF care
full investigation during the last session.

alterations or additions thereto imposeu
by the congress-. This was deemed prop
er. especially as II was clear that cable
connection Of some kind with China, a
foreign country, was a part Of the COM
pany's plan. This course was, moreover,
In accordance with line of presidents,
including President Grants action in the
case Of the first French cable, explained
to the congress In his annual message Of
December. 1876, and the instance occur
ring In 1879 Of the second French cable
from Brest to st. Pierre, with a branch
to Cape Cod.
These conditions prescribed, among
other things, maximum rate for COM
mercial messages and that the company
should construct line from the Philip
pine islands to China. there being at
present, as Is well known British line
from Manila to Hong Kong
The representatives Of the cable COM
pany kept these conditions long under
consideration, continuing, In the mean
time, to prepare for laying the cable.
They have. however. at length acceded
to them, and an all-American line be-
tween our Pacific coast ard the Chinese
empire, by way Of Honolulu and the
Philippine Islands, Is thus provided for,
and Is expected within few months to
be ready for business.

REMEDY FOR PANICS.
Congress Urged to Permit National
Banks to Issue More Notes.
ASSET CURRENCY and BRANCH BANKS
The Comptroller Of the Currency Reports
Remedy Which He Thinks Would
Be safety Valve to Relieve
Stringcncy.

washington, Dec. 1.-The subject
OF greatest interest to bankers Just
now--that of asset currency and
branch banks-is discussed by VIII
liam B. Ridgely, comptroller Of the
currency, in his annual report to con.
gress. As a remedy in a measure for
panics and other emergencies, he
urges congress to pass an act permit
ting national banks to issue from 20
to so per cent. more notes than they
are now allowed to issue, with a grad
uated tax on the amount issued.
This, he says, would always be a
safety valve to relieve . stringency
and would vastly expedite the mo, :.
ing Of crops.
I'm times of panic the power to IS
sue additional notes would be an ele-
ment of great strength to the banks
and not of weakness. 1t would
enable the banks to protect them
selves and their customers when pro-
lection is most needed. panlcs or
financial crises come generally very
suddenly and as the result of fear
which spreads among the people that
they will not be able to get money to
meet their payments and conduct
their business. This spreads and
forces liquidation of credits which
otherwise would have remained out
standing. There never is time when
the liquidation Of all credits, or any
large proportion of those outstand-
ing, is possible without producing a
crisis, AS long as there Is conf
dence, and each individual feels Sc
cure that he can get what money he
needs upon usual terms and secur-
ity, there is no necessity for it. II
our bank circulation can be made
more automatically elastic so that
the banks can supply more or less
of circulation as needed, which is so
safe and reliable that II is readily
accepted and used for all business
transactions, we will have force
at work in our financial affairs which
will diminish the liability of a money
panic, and will be an efficient aid
when we have an actual condition of
panic"

In dealing with the Indians our aim
should be their ultimate absorption into
the body Of our people. But In many
cases this absorption must and should
be very slow, In portions of the Indian
territory the mixture OF blood has gone
wealth and education, so that there are
plenty Of men with varying degrees of
purity of Indian blood who are abso-
lutely lndistinguishable In point of social,
political and economical ability from
their white associates. There are other
tribes which have as yet made no per-
ceptible advance toward such equality.
To try to force such tribes too fast Is to
prevent their going forward at all. More
over, the tribes live under widely differ
ent conditions Where tribe has made
considerable advance and lives on fertile
farming soil II Is possible to allot the
members lands in severalty much as is
the case with the white settlers. There
are other tribes where such course Is not
desirable. On the arid prairie lands the
effort should be to induce the Indians to
lead pastoral rather than agricultural
lives, and to permit them to settle In
villages rather than to force them Into
isolation.
The large indian schools situated remote
from any Indian reservation Go special
and peculiar work OF great Importance.
But, excellent though these are, an i'm
mense amount OF additional work must be
Done on the reservations themselves among
the old, and above all among the young.
Indians.
The first and most important step toward
the absorption Of the Indian Is to teach
him TO earn his living; yet II Is not neces-
sarly TO be assumed that In each commun-
ity all Indians must become either tillers
Of the soil or stock ralsers. Their industries
may properly be diversified, and those who
show special desire or adaptabllity for in
dustrial or even commercial pursuits
should be encouraged so far as practicable
TO follow out each his own bent.

THE ARMY CAN1EEN.
Secretary Root Convinced That It
Should Be Re.Established.
The JOINT MAyEUyERS At Fl. RILEY
The Creation OF . General Etaff for the
Army Urgsd-Our Military System De-
clared to Be Defective ct
the Ton

Washington, Dec. 1.-Elihu Root,
secretary of war, Is convinced that
the army canteen should be returned
to. He speaks plainly about it in his
report to congress. He said
Referring to the operation of Sec
ton 3S, of the act of February 2,
1901, which prohibits the sale of beer
and light wines in post exchanges,
I said in my last report that great
body of reports had been received
which indicated that the effect OF the
law was unfortunate, but that
thought sufficient time had not
elapsed to give the law a fair trial,
and that the observation and report
of its working would be continued
during the ensuing year. A great
number Of additional reports have
now been received and they confirm
the impression produced by the
earlier reports. l am convinced that
the general effect Of prohibiting the
use of beer and light wines within
the limited area Of the army post Is
to lead the enlisted men to go out
OF the post to frequent vile resorts
which cluster in the neighborhood,
to drink bad whisky to excess and to
associate intimately with abandoned
men and more abandoned women;
and that the operation of the law is
to increase drunkenness, disease OF
the most loathsome kind, insubor-
dination and desertion and moral
and physical degeneration. These
reports are ready to be sent to con-
gress whenever that body desires to
consider the subject.
"A good example of what can be
done in the way of joint maneuvers
and exercise by regulars and militia,
to the great advantage of both, In
preparation for general military
service, has been furnished by the
concentration and exercise of troops
at Fort Riley in the latter part of
September. A large number OF ma
tional guard officers, besides those
commanding troops in the maneu-
vers, and representing 20 different
states and two territories, were pres
ent. A large number of national
guard troops of other states would
have been present had there been
any appropriations to pay their ex-
penses. Both the officers of the
guard and of the regular army unite
in the opinion that both branches of
the service received great benefit,
and the good understanding and
friendly feeling established between
the two classes of officers who were
present at the maneuvers are most
gratifying
Concerning the mooted question Of
the organization of general staff in
the army Secretary Root says;
THE most important thing to be
done now for the regular army is the
creation of a general staff Our mil
itary system is, however, still ex-
ceedingly defective at the top. Our
system makes no adequate precision
for the directing brain which every
army must have, to work successful
ly. Common experience has shown
that this cannot be furnished by any
single man without assistants and
that 1t requires body of officers
together under the direction
Of a chief and entirely separate from
and Independent Of the administra-
tive staff of an army"

We ask again what is the matter
with Sampson There is a faint sus.
piciOn luking around that his present
condition has been brought about by a
habit to which he has long been addict
ed. If the report be true there is
doubt whether he should have been
entrusted with the feet at Santiago,
or with any position of responsibility,
and if the report has foundation those
who appoited him should be cashiered
to a man. This truth will come out
sooner or later, and if the suspicion
becomes founded then good by Samp-

Judea Henry CLAW Mcdowell, tn

Judge Henry Clay Mcdowell, the
new Judge of the U. s. Court, has been
to Harrisonburg and held one session
of his court. Those who met him are
much pleased with him, and believe
be will give .emminent satisfaction.
There is one trouble, and that is that
he lives so far from the members OF
the bar who have the bulk of the bus
mess in his court. We know how
difficult it is to reach Bristol and Big
Stone Gap, so we suggest that the
Judge might find pleasant home
nearer Lynchburg and Harrisonburg,
and we know of no more convenient
point than our own city of Staunton.
The people here would welcome him,
and for healthfulness, for accessibility,
for all that 60 to make living oconom-
ical and pleasant we think Staunton
ranks with any city in the State. We
therefore extend to him most hearty
and cordial invitation to make this
his future home.
