MAY BUILD LARGE

Pennsylvania Railroad May
Utilize Its Property by
Erecting Storehouses

The real work on the new elevated
railroad Of the Pennsylvania Company
passing Jnrc=o;. Inis city will net be-
gin until next spring. The cold wealth
er will interfere with the masonry
work. so it has been decided to aban-
don it when the temperature begins to
fall.
Only the buildings that can be dis
pensed with viii be torn down this
year to make room for the abutments.
But in the spring a Lig force of men
will be pat to work. and the road will
be pushed to completion.
Many people have been wondering
what disposition would be made OF the
immense amount of property that
would be left unoccupied when the
tracks were removed from the surface,
and the car shops and other buildings
opened at Edge Moor. 1t was reported
this morning that the railroad COM
pany would build immense warehouses
for the accommodation Of big firms
like Armour & Co., wholesale grocers,
furniture dealers. flour and feed men.
etc. These, Of course, will not be built
until the other work is completed.

TIE MESSAGE

Following the wise provision OF the
Constitution that the President shall
inform Congress from time to time OF
the state OF the country. President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to that body
his annual message. Several things
strike the reader who is familiar with
messages. the chief of which that it
is the work OF virile man, one who
understands thoroughly the use of
good English. President Roosevelt has
shown In his speeches and in his State
papers a tendency to base all conclu-
sions on the primary principles OF
logic and ethics, and to keep these be-
fore the mind in all discussion. He
has not wavered from that course in
writing his latest message.
Il is remarkable, too, for its breyity
and its omissions. Evidently the
President is endeayoring to carry out
the idea he had in mind when he rec
commended to the heads OF departments
some time since that they should con-
dense their reports. Besides, the omis-
slons may be due to a recognition OF
the fact that during "a short session,
new legislation is not likely to have
much attention, as the time is neces-
sarily consumed in finishing up the
work of the long session. and In pass
ing measures of necessity such as
come up from year to year.
Those who anticipated radical rec
concentrations have been disappointed.
There is nothing to rufle the feelings
of tine most radical partisan; but the
message contents itself with pointing
out such minor changes and modifica-
tions Of existing laws as are necessary
TO changing conditions. One OF the
most important topics discussed is that
OF the trusts. the President says:
believe that mOnopolies, unjust dis
ordinations. which prevent or Grip
pie competition, fraudulent overcapi-
talization and other evils In trust Or
ganizations and practices which inJur-
iously affect interstate trade can be
prevented under the power Of the Con-
gress to regulate commerce with for
eign nations and among the several
States" through regulations and re-
quirements operating directly upon
such commerce. the instrumentalities
thereof. and those engaged therein.
In his further discussion OF the mat
ter. the President urges certain legisla-
tion which he believes would come un-
der the provisions Of the Constitution
for the purpose of regulating, not curb.
ing. great industrial enterprises; ant
from the tenor OF his remarks WI
gather that he does not believe that q
constitutional amendment would b.
necessary.
The other important recommendation
are a tariff commission. a department
of commerce and for more efficien
army and navy. On the whole it 8
such a paper as the head OF any grea
corporation might read to the stock
holders. Though it gives US the i'm
pression Of a man who wishes abOv
all else to be right, and who has sue

PENINSULA PRESS
south Carollna,s 5 Novel sult
Im the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Some time ago South Carolina en-
barhed in the business Of selling liquor
TO its own inhabitants through the
State dispensary system Now it has
brought suit against the United States
to compel the repayment of the Federal
internal revenue taxes which have been
collected on the beverages thus dis
posed Of
The State has one chief dispensary

from the transaction going into its
treasury. Under existing statutes the
National Government has levied an an
nual tax of 800 on the central estab-
lishment and tax of $25 on each OF
the minor institutions. South Caro-
Ina asserts that this taxation is un-
constitutional since the Governments
has no right to tax a sovereign State.
and proposes to test the question be-
fore the court The sum in dispute is
not important, but the principle con-
cerned stands on a different footing
4 ne tax on liquor is one of the great
sources or internal revenue, and the
prerogative which .-.e Government ex-
ercises in imposing and collecting il is
abundantly sustained by judicial de-
cisions.
In its ordinary functions as a State
the Palmetto Commonwealth may be ex-
empt from taxation on the part OF Fed
eral authority; butt when it steps out
side those functions to engage In tho
business of liquor selling its claim
that the traffic thus conducted should
be free fro any national tax consti-
tutes an assertion which cannot be up
held without serious impairment OF
the legitimate powers Of the Govern
ment.

LOCAL OPTION Rn.Ls

At about this season every two years
there is a revival Of local option talk.
At the time that State conventions are
being held there is a profound silence
on the subject. and all seem to have for
gotten H. But after the votes have
been counted-the liquor vote and the
temperance vote-and certain states
men have been selected TO go to Dover
to make our laws. somebody rises from
the throng and asks: How does the

The response is apt to be startling
and to reveal a majority as advocate
OF temperance in the most radical form

ENGINES NOW RUN CLEAR THROUGH
Are Not Transferred Here Now, But
Will Be When Roundhouse Is
Completed

The engines of the Pennsylvania
railroad now run through this city to
Philadelphia, but the crews change
iere. Heretofore the engines were
changed here, but on account OF the
lack of room IN the local roundhouse,
and the inability to take the big en-
gines upon the turn-table without un-
coupling the tender, caused the change
to be made Another thing was the get
ting the mileage out Of the engines.
This method will be followed until
the new roundhouse is completed at

changed here, even those coming from
New York.

is estimated that the insurance will
cover the loss. We hope that this may
prove correct,b but we fear that when the
bids for rebuilding are received We may
