Clarendon and Pittsford railroad, was
fatally injured at Proctor Monday. While
coupling cars he, caught his foot between
the planking of the crossing and a rail.
Before he could extricate his foot the
cars backed over him. His left leg was
lacerated from the foot to the hip and
the right leg broken. He also sustained
severe internal injuries which caused his
death.
orders have been issued from the head
quarters of the Vermont National Guard

versy between Major H. Edward Dyer
and Captain B. II. Stickney, Company A.

the members of the company with be-
ing intoxicated and disorderly, while
Captain Stckney says Major Dyer lied in
his report. Captain Stickney is nephew
of Ex-Governor Stickney.

William Pearsons of Poultney was
burning rubbish on the old fair grounds
Saturday when a can of powder which
had been placed accidentally in the fire
exploded only a few feet from him. His
clothes were on fire instantly in several
places and he rushed a short distance
and jumped into an old quarry hole
which contained a dozen feet of water.
He managed to crawl out of the water
and walk toward his home until he met
a neighbor His condition was at first
thought to be critical, but he now seems
to be recovering.

on serious lung trouble, possibly con-

medicine has had so remarkable a his'

Extension of the Rural Free Delivery

No one fact so well illustrates the pros
perity of our people as does the striking
increase in the revenues of the post
office department. The receipts for the
last fiscal year were upward of SO, 000,-
600 more than the preceding year, and
almost 10 times as much as the entire
postal receipts for the year 1860. The
remarkable growth of the rural free de-
livery service is noted On the first day
of November. 1850 rural free delivery
routes We're in actual operation. The
extension of this system the message
says, lis justified both by the financial
results and by the practical benefits to
our rural population; 1t brings the men
who live on the soil into close relations
with the active business world: II keeps
the farmer in daily touch with the mar
kets; 1t is a potential educational force (,
it enhances the value of farm property
makes farm life far pleasanter and less
Isolated. and will do much to check the
undesirable current from country to
city. 1t is to be hoped that the Con-
gress will make liberal appropria lions for
the continuance of the service already es-
tablished and for its further extension"
Other subjects touched upon are the
need of better legislation for Alaska: the
Indians. and the Importance OF work for
them on the lines of having them ulti-
mately become citizens. and of teaching
them to earn their own living; and the
important work which has been done by
the government in the way of scientific
aid to the farming population. 1t Is
strongly urged that the city of Washing
ton ought to be made the model city of
the country. not only in its architecture,
but in its hygienic and sanitary arrange
ments. and in advanced work along char
| liable and correctional lines.
Thousands of lives have been saved
! and accidents averted by the passage of
the safety appliance law for the pro-
lection of the lives and limbs of railway
employees. but additional legislation is
needed to perfect this law. Gratifying
progress has been made during the year
| in the extension of the merit system in
| the government service. and this system.
| the President says, should be extended by
| law to the District of Columbia. IT
| should also be made to govern and con-
| troll our consulas system.

gotlations have been completed whereby
an allAmeric9n cable line will soon be
completed between our Pacific coast and
China, by way of Honolulu and the Phil
ippine islands. The prosperity which
now prevails in Porto Rico is such as to
prove the wisdom with which the island
has been governed, and to make 1t serve
as an example of all that Is best in in
sular administration. Our policy in the
Philippines has been abundanty vindi-
Gated by the events of the past year,
during which peace and amnesty have
been promulgated in the islands, civil
government has been introduced, and
the Filipinos have been given every civil
right which they are prepared to enjoy.
Our troops in the islands have been re-
duced to some 5000. Our army warred
there under fearful difficulties of climate
and surroundings, and under the strain
of terrible provocations. There were
instances of cruel retaliation, but they
were comparatively few, and every eff
fort has been made to detect and punish
the wrong-doers. After making all al
lowances for these mlsdeeds, the record
of our troops in the Philippines is one of
which the country may well be proud.
1t is urged that the work of building up
the navy be steadily prosecuted, as the
surest means of commanding the respect
of foreign powers, and as the surest guar
anty of peace.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Powers Of Congress with Trusts
is Not Exhausted, He Says.
Tariff and Trust Problems Are Dis
tinct-our Relations with Cuba
Progress in Philippines and Porto
Rieo-seVeral Important Recon-
mendations.

President Roosevelts annual message,
which was sent to Congress on Tuesday,
is distinctively a cheerful and buoyant
discussion of the affairs of the nation.
The President does not ignore the fact
that difficulties and dangers beset our
way, but he says that they can be and
Will be met and overcome The mes
sage Is unique in that 1t omits the
usual dry and repellant summaries of
department reports, and proceeds at
once to familiar talk about those sub
Jects which are now most in the minds
of the people.
we still continue, he says, in a period
OF Astounding prosperity, and the best of
1t is that this prosperity is well-nigh
universal. Never before has material
prosperity been so widely diffused among
our people. There are more deposits
In the savings banks, more owners of
farms, more well-paid wage-workers in
this country now than ever before in
our history"
While conditions have favored the
growth of so much that was good 1t is
matter of course that they have also
favored somewhat the growth of what
was evil. The evils are real and some
of them are menacing, but they are
the outgrowth, not of misery or de-
cadence but of prosperity-of the pro-
gress of our gigantic industrial develop
ment. This industrial development
must not be checked, but side by side
with 1t should go such progressive regu-
lation as will diminish the evils" This
is the key note of the Presidents dis
cussion of the problem of the trusts and
their attendant evils.

Tariff Not a Factor of Importance II
the Trusts.

tne ] ruStS.
The President does not think that a
reduction of the tariff would be a rem
edy for this trust evil, because the tar
if does not enter into the affairs of
most of the trusts as a factor of that
importance, and because the stability of
our economic policy must always be the
prime economic need of the country. He
believes that we should. steadfastly adj
here to the principle of protection, but
that there should be a methodical re-
vision of the tariff from time to time to
meet changed and changing conditions.
He would have such a revision made a
matter of business not of politics, and
conducted under the supervision of
commission of business experts He
urges the Importance of reciprocity as
one means of keeping the tariff up to
the necessities of the times and says:
whenever the tariff conditions are such
that a needed change cannot with adj
vantage be made by the application of
the reciprocity idea, then 1t can be
made outright by the lowering of the
duties on a given product" definite
recommenda ton of the message is that
the tariff on anthracite coal be removed
as a precaution against a coal famine
incidental to recurrence of the recent
strikes.
The words of the message on the labor
question are written in the broadcast
spirit. No distinction is made in de-
Tending the rights of the honest employer
on the one hand and of the honest en-
ploye on the other. ut is of the high
est Importance that employer and en-
ploye alike should endeavor to appreciate

Trusts Must Be Handled to Subserve
the Public Good


1--WE can do nothing of good in the way
of regulating and supervising these cor
porations until we fix clearly in our
minds that we are not attacking the cor
porations, but endeavoring to do away
with any evil in them. We are not hos
tile to them; we are merely determined
that they shall be so handled as to sub
serve the public good. We draw the
line against misconduct not against
wealth. The capitalist, who, alone or in
conjunction with his fellows, performs
some great industrial feat by which he
wins money is a welldoer, not a wrong
doer, provided only he works in proper
and legitimate lines. We wish to favor
such man when he does well. We wish
to supervise and control his actions only
to prevent him from doing i'll. Publicity
can do no harm to the honest corpora
ton; and we need not be overtender
about sparng the dishonest corporation.
"In curbing and regulating the combl-
nations of capital which are or may be-
come injurious to the people we must
be careful not to stop the great enter
prises which have legitimately reduced
the cost of production. not to abandon the
place which our country has won in the
leadership of the international Industrial
world, not to strike down wealth with
the result of closing factories and mines,
of turning the wage-worker idle in the
streets and leaving the farmer without a
market for what he grows"
The President believes 1t to be clear
ly within the power of Congress to en-
act a law which shall prevent the evils
that restrict our commercial freedom
and put restraint on our national COM
merce. If 1t prove impossible to ac-
complish these purposes by such law,
then assuredly we should not shrink
from amending the Constitution so as
to secure beyond peradventure the pow
err sought.
