 The supervisors on Tuesday com promised with the United Verde company, reducing the assessment of that corporation about 25 per cent, making a difference of about $12, ,OO0 or whereabouts to the county in taxes.

 The children's-day program was a grand success, and reflects great credit on the children and those who trained them. The father who swears in the presence of his boy pollutes the boys memory and places a mort gage upon his future.
 How many children whose pa rents neglect their spiritual train ing will. rise up in old age and call their parents blessed?
 Every time your child associates with evil companions, they help him to choose evil and take away his freedom to choose the right.
 The Sabbath school is the most democratic institution in the world. Pra c Ii c lily all Sabbath-schools study the same lessons and learn the same great truths.

 Samuel Sloane, the great railroad magnate, said through the Evening Post: "I know of no better guide for the young man who wants to steer clear of failure than the bible."
 One thing sure, ungodly men will never purify politics nor elevate so- ciety. The hope of the world, and especially of this republic, is in Christian manhood and woman hood..

Commissioner Mcfarland today trans
mitted to Senator Gallinger and Represen-
tatiye Babcock, chairmen OF the senate
and House committees on the District OF
Columbia, respectively. drafts of three
bills with the recommendation that they be
introduced and enacted into laws at an
early date One Of the bills gives the Dis
trict Commissioners authority to abate
nuisances in the District; another provides
for the construction of a memorial bridge
across the Potomac river from Washington
to the Arlington estate property. and the
other measure authorizes the COMMISSION
ers to remit fines and grant pardons.
The first two bills ment oned have been
previously published in The Star. The text
Of the third Is as follows: That the Com

fines and grant pardons in all cases where

Police Court of said District fine or i'm

Irreconcilable!
From the Baltimore Sun.

The event of greatest interest to the ma
ton since Mr.. Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress twelve months ago is the revolution
In the Isthmus of Panama, the recognition
of the revolutionary government by the
United States and the negotiation Of a
treaty between the republic of Panama and
the United States whereby the latter
secures concessions for an interoceanic
canal across the isthmus. To this subject
the President devotes nearly one-third Of
his message. His defense Of the course
adopted by the administration is exceeding
ly interesting. 1t is debatable question
whether, despite his array Of diplomatic
authorities and his plausible reasoning, the
attitude of the United States toward the
republic of Panama was not determined
more by considerations of self-interest than
BY the weightier principles of internationa
power.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-12-08

topics treated will keep, and the public can
turn to the one of most immediate interest
the isthmian canal, to which the Presi-
dent devotes one-fourth of his message.
Mr.. Roosevelt cites the strongest kind OF
support for his action in this matter from
the official correspondence of two great
Secretaries of State-Cass, a democrat, In
1853 and Seward, republican, in 1865 The
policy of this government. as stated by Sec
rotary Cass. has already been printed In
the World. Secretary Seward was quite as
explicit.

Panama in the Message.
From the Philadelphia Press.

A Presidents message is what events
make 1t. The chief event Of the past year
in the domain Of governmental action is
the recognition OF the Panama republic
and all that 1t involves. The chief interest
of President Roosevelt's third annual mes
sage, therefore, centers in its discussion Of
this question. Outside of this topic the
chapters are Of less moment than those Of
his previous messages. because the events
are less vital and vivid. The large issues
then treated-the trust question, Cuba, the
Philippines and so on-are substantially
settled. The history Is made. The acts are
completed. The references are not contro-
yersial but conclusive. On the Panama
question the President was bound to vindi-
cate his prompt, energetic and unhesitating
determination. This he does with an ex-
position of facts and cogency of reason
ing which must carry conviction.

A "stand Pat" Message.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
President Roossveit's message confirms
the impression that the ante-eiection policy
of stand pat prevails and that no tariff
or currency legislation Is to be expected at
the present. White the complete text of
the message would fill nearly a dozen COL
umns OF the Herald, there is not one word
about tariff revision or the reciprocity trea-
ties. The currency Is disposed of in ten
lines-that under present conditions It
would be unwise and unnecessary to at
tempt a reconstruction of our entire mone-
tary SYSTEM that customs receipts should
be subject to deposit in banks like internal
revenue moneys, and this comprehensive
sentence:
in my message of December q 1907. I
called attention to certain needs of the
financial situation. and again ask tho con-
sideration OF the Congress for these ques-

recommendations are made there is little OF
radical nature In their character This
desire to keep present conditions undisturb-
ed and not suffer any molestation of present
material prosperity Is In keeping with Mr.

progress is, however, recorded, and unity

departments

A Strong Message.

From the New York Mall and Express.
President Roosevelt has put most Of the
force and fiber of his annual message to
Congress into the discussion of the 18TH
milan canal situation. Though this topic
comes in at the tail end, 1t Is the head and
front Of the document. Elsewhere the mes
sage flashes up into force, too, at one point
or another, as where the President treats
the subject of official corruption. He calls
earnestly for International arrangements
for the extradition of boodlers, and for
other measures which shall ''cut out cor
ruption" from American public life.
With respect to that leading subject of
present interest, the situation on the 18TH
mus of Panama, the message is particular
ly strong.

Attitude Toward Labor and Capital.
From the New York Tribune
No part of the Presidents domestic pol
Icy has excited so much antagonism, and
that from opposite points of view, as his
attitude toward labor and capital. His at
tempts to enforce the antitrust law have
angered some capitalists. who apparently
believe that their business does not con-
form to that law; and his inflexible stand
for freedom of employment and equality
before the law has angered some labor
union men, who apparently see that their
aims are not in harmony with those funda-
mental American principles. The impartial
observer is likely to conclude that the off,
cial is right who stands between the two
extremes and holds each party equally In
obedience to the law. President Roosevelt.
who gives first place to this subject in his
message, clearly shows that this is his atu-
tude.

THERIAULT'S ALIBI.
Said to Be a Sure Thing for
the New Trial.
Three Men Will Swear They Were
With Him'on Day Of Murder.
Defence Feels Sure That AcquittaI Is
Now Certain.

Skowhegan, Me-, July 12.-It is re-
ported here on good authority, that the
counsel for Alexander Theriault, con-
victed on the charge of murder, has
received important information touch
ing on his side Of the case. Theriault
was recently granted a new trial by the
supreme court. The new evidence is
said to be that of three men who state
they saw and were with Theriault on
the day of the murder and that it was
impossible for him to have committed
the crime.
1t is alleged that the three men in
question passed over the tote road on
which Matthias Pare was murdered,
and their evidence will affect the posi-
ton of the State as far as what oc-
CURED on the tote road in the earlypart
of the day, and it is also alleged that
the new evidence will show that but one
and one half hours was necessary to
cover the distance between Asquith and
lockwood and the States principal
witness stated that he was about three
hours in making the trip.
The names of the men in question
are withheld for the present, or until
counsel who have only received the in
formation tonight, can inquire into the
matter 1t is said that the information
was received through a well-known po-
lice officer in a Maine city who has new
err before had anything to do with the
.dSe.
