dition there will be a number of
clinics. Toledo, Cleveland, San
dusky, Cincinnati, Dayton, Ironton
and Youngstown are some of the

PUBLICITY DOES NOT HURT
HONESTY.

In curling the combinations OF
capital which are or may become
| injurious we must be careful not to
stop the great enterprises which
have legitimately reduced the cost
of production.
No more important subject can
come before the congress than this
of the regulation of interstate bust
ness.
The power of congress to regulate
interstate commerce Is an absolute
and unqualified grant. 1t is evident,
therefore, that evils restrictive of
commercial freedom fall within the
regularly power of the congress.
| believe that monopolies. unjust
determinations, which prevent or
cripple competition, and fraudulent
overcapital;zation can be prevented
through regulations operating di-
Irectly upon commerce.
recommend this subject to con-
gress with view to the passage
of law upon which the questions
can be finally adjudicated. If it
prove impossible to accomplish the
purposes by such law. we should
not shrink from amending the con-
stitution.
NO TARIFF TlNkERlNG.
One proposition advocated has
been the reduction of the tariff as
means of reaching the evils of
the trusts. Not merely would this
be wholly ineffective, but would
mean the abandonment of all in
telligent attempt to do away with
these evils. Many of the largest
corporations, which should certainly
be included in any proper scheme
of regulation, would not be affected
by a change in the tariff. save as
such change interfered with the
general prosperity of the country.
The only relation of the tariff to big
corporations Is that the tariff
makes manufactures profitable, and
! the tariff remedy proposed would
be in effect simply to make manu-
features Improbable. Our aim
should be not by unwise tariff
changes to give foreign products
the advantage over domestic prod
ucts, but by proper regulation tt
give domestic competition fail
tchance.
Tho country has acquiesced il
the wisdom of the protective-tarif
principle. 1t is exceedingly undesir
able that this system should be de
stroyed Moreover, If the tariff
laws as @ whole work well, and i
business has prospered under then
and is prospecting, it is better tt
endure for a time slight inconven
fences than to upset business b!
too radical changes. The first con
sideration in making these change!
would be tho principle which under
lies our whole tariff system-of put
ting American business interests a
least on o full equality with inter
ests abroad.
RECIPROCITY CURE.
One way in which the readjust
ment sought can be reached is b.
reciprocity treaties. They can b.
used 10 widen our markets and t
give greater field for the activi
ties of our producers and to secur
in practical shape the lowering O
duties.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:

To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
We still continue in a period of
unbounded prosperity. This pros
perity is not the creature of law,
but undoubtedly the laws under
which we work have been instru-
mental In creating the conditions
which made it possible, and by I'M
wise legislation it would he easy to
destroy it. There will undoubtedly
be periods of depression. The wave
will recede; but the tide will ad-
vance. This nation is seated on a
continent flanked by two great
oceans. 1t is composed of men, the
descendants of pioneers, or, in a
sense, pioneers thmselves; of men
winnowed out from among the ma
tons of the Old World by the en-
ergy, boldness and love of adven-
ture found in their own eager
hearts. Such a nation, SO placed.
will surely wrest success from for
tune.
AS q people we have played a
large part in the world, and we are
bent upon making our future even
larger than the past In pacticu-
lar, the events of the last few years
have dfinitely decided that, for woe
or for veal, our place must be great
among the nations. We may either
fail greatly or succeed greatly; but
we can not avoid the endeavOr from
which either great failure or great
success must come. Even if we
would, we can not play a small
part. If we should try, all that
would follow would be that we
should play large part ignobly and
shamefully.
TRUSTS ARE EVIL GRoWTHs.
Never before has material we'll
being been 30 widely diffused
among our people. The plain peo-
pie are better off than they have
ever been before. The conditions
have favored the growth Of so much
that was good and have also favor
ed somewhat the growth OF what
was evil. 1t is eminently necessary
that we should endeavor to cut out
this evil, but let US not in fixing
our gaze upon the lesser evil forget
the greater good.
PROCEED PATIENTLY.
We should fail in our duty II We
cid not try to remedy the evils, but
VIC shall succeed only II we proceed
patiently.
In my message to the present
congress at its first session ! dis
cussed the regulation Of those big
corporations popularity known as
trusts. A fundamental requisite of
social efficiency Is q high standard
OF Individual energy and excellence;
but this Is In no wise inconsistent
with power to act in combination.
A fundamental base OF civilization
Is the inviolability Of property; but
this IL in no wise inconsistent with
the right of society to regulate tho
exeI else of the artificial powers
which II confers upon the owners
OF property.
NATION SHOULD REGULATE
TRUSTS.
Corporations, and combinations
of corporations. should be managed
under public regulation by national
action. Our aim Is not to do away
with corporations. We can do moth
ing OF good In the way of regulating
these corporations until we fix
clearly in our minds that we arc
not attacking them, but endeavor-
ing TO do away with any evil ip

aud were ,old by hiin that they could
neither return tn the hptel where they

to be full, and that they had ''better go

advice and thus be the means at wall
tonly exposing unsuspecting people to
such a cui,tagion is not fit to- hold the

In any town. and 1t is II matter OF re-
gret that there is no statute under

disregard of the public safety cali be
prosecuted and punished as deserved.

It seems altogether probable the

development Of our little insular coun-
ty, bringing the people into close touch
with the news centers Of the world and
the busy niarts of trade. Then inss-
larity will mt mean isolation and the
few miles of water that separate orr
beautiful archipelago from the nan-
land will not be regarded as an obitc=
ton ~ great rs to outweigh the numer-
Gus exceptional advantages which the
islands offer IN wide-awake and pro-
gressive people IN search of homes for
themselves and their children. And rot

complished fact in this region, but the
success ut a recent experiment i'm wire

river, hetween points a mile distant

island telephone system, affording
