the national guard, which has already
| passed the House, should receive
| prompt attention and action. 1t is of
great Importance that the relation of
the national guard to the militia and
volunteer forces of the United States
should be defined, and that in place OF
our present obsolete laws a practical
| and efficient system should be adopted.
For the first time in our history
naval maneuvers on a large scale are
being held under the immediate COM
mand of the admiral of the navy. Con-
stantly increasing attention is being
paid to the gunnery of the navy but
it is yet far from what it should be
earnestly urge that the increase asked
for by the secretary OF the navy in the
appropriation for improving the
craftsmanship be granted. In battle
the only shots that count are the shots
that hit. 1t is necessary to provide
ample funds for practice with the great
guns in time of peace. These funds
must provide not only for the purchase
of projectiles, but for allowances for
prizes to encourage the gun crews, and
especially the gun pointers, and for
perfecting an intelligent system under
which alone it is possible to get good
practice.
of building up the navy, providing
every year additional fighting craft
We are a very rich country. vast in ex-
tent of territory and great in populS-
ton; country, moreover, which has
an army diminutive indeed when COM
pared with that of any other first class
power. We have deliberately made our
own certain foreign policies which de-
mand the possession of a first class
navy. The lsthmian canal will greatly
increase the efficiency of our navy if
the navy is of sufficient size; but if we
have an inadequate navy. then the
building of the canal would be merely
giving a hostage to any power of su-
perior strength. The Monroe doctrine
should be treated as the cardinal feat
ure of American foreign policy; but it
would be worse than idle to assert it
unless we intend to back 1t up. and it
can be backed up only by thoroughly
good navy. a good navy is not provoc-
ative of war; it is the surest guaranty
of peace.
There is not a cloud on the horizon
at present. There seems not the
slightest chance OF trouble with for
eign power. We most earnestly hope
that this state of things may continue;
and the way to insure its continuance
is to provide for a thoroughly efficient
navy.

Free Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural free delivery service is no
longer in the experimental stage; 1t
has become a fixed policy. The results
following its introduction have fully
justified the Congress in the large ap-
propriations made for its establish
ment and extension. The average
yearly increase in postofiice receipts
in the rural districts of the country
is about two per cent. We are now
able, by actual results, to show that
where rural free delivery service has
been established to such an extent as
to enable us to make comparisons the
yearly Increase has been upward of
ten per cent.
On November 1. 1902. 11,650 rural
free delivery routes had been estab-
lished and were in operation. covering
about one-third of the territory of the
United States available for rural free
delivery service. There are now
awaiting the action of the department
petitions and applications for the es-
tatlishment of 10.74S additional routes.
This shows conclusively the want
which the establishment of the service
has met and the need of further ex-
tending 1t as rapidly as possible.
1t is to be hoped that the Congress
win make liberal appropriations for
the continuance of the service already
established and for its further extern
sion.

General recommendations.

Legislation should be provided for
the protection of the game, and the
wild creatures generally, on the for
est reserves.
| especially urge upon the Congress
the need of wise legislation for Alas
ka. 1t is not to our credit as a nation
that Alaska, which has been ours for
thirty-five years, should still have as
poor a system of laws as is the case.
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 no department Of governmental
work in recent years has there been
greater success than in that of giving
scientific aid to the farming popula-
tion, thereby showing them how most
efficiently to help themselves. There
is no need of insisting upon its i'm
portance, for the welfare of the farmer
is fundamentally necessary to the well
fare of the Republic as whole.
The New White House.
Through a wise provision of the
Congress al its last session, the White
House, which had become disfgured
by incongruous additions and changes,
has now been restored to what it was
planned to be by Washington. In maxi
ing the restorations the utmost care
has been exercised to come as near as
possible to the early plans and to sup
plement these plans by careful study
of such buildings as that of the Unit
versity of Virginia, which was built by
jefferson. The White House is the
property of the Nation, and so far as
is compatible with living therein it
should be kept as it originally was, for
the same reasons that we keep Mount
Vernon as it originally was. The
stately simplicity of its architecture is
an expression of the character of the
period in which it was built, and is in
accord with the purposes it was de-
signed to serve. 1t is good thing to
preserve such buildings as historic
monuments which keep alive our sense

One proposition advocated has been
the reduction of the tariff as a means
of reaching the evils OF the trusts
which fall within the category | have
described. Not merely would this be
wholly Ineffective. but the diversion
of our efforts in such direction would
mean the abandonment of all intelli-
gent attempt to do away with these
evils. Many of the largest corpora
tions, many of those which should GER
tainly be included in any proper
scheme of regulation would not be af-
fected in the slightest degree 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 corpora
tions as whole is that the tariff
makes manufactures profitable, and
the tariff remedy proposed would be
in effect simply to make manufactures
Improbable. To remove the tariff as
a punitive measure directed against
trusts would inevitably result in ruin
to the weaker competitors who are
struggling against them.
