Game Which Was a Loser
for Them.

Watertown special:-The details
OF what appears to be a bold and sue
cessful swindle are being brought to
light by the efforts Of a local bank
to collect certain notes, the existence
OF, which were until recently I'M
known. Last December several solicit
tors representing a trust company Of
Iowa located here and became very
active In exploiting the merits Of
investment policies, under the terms
OF which $50 per annum was paid to
the company for a period Of ten
years. At the end OF this time the
principal, with accrued profits, was
payable to the policy holder.
1t was represented that the COM
pany was about to open permanent
headquarters here, and employ five or
six solicitors. A number Of business
and professional men we're induced to
sign applications for contracts, with
the agreement that the first payment
Wouldsb be accepted in merchandise or
services to be rendered. The applica-
lions thustsigned have now turned up
at alocal pank in the form Of Eromis-
Sorry notes. The officers of the COM
pany have been appealed to and are
conducting an Investigation. Crimi-
nal proceedings are very probable.
Newspaper men and prominent mer-
chants are among the victims. The
aggregate value Of the notes thus
secured is In the neighborhood OF
81, 600.

surplus, 1t now seems likely that
substantial equality Of revenue and
expenditure will be attained Such be-
ing the case. ii is of great moment both
TO exercise care and economy in APP
preparations and TO scan sharply any
change in our fiscal revenue system
which may reduce our income. The
need of strict economy in our eXpcnd-
itures is emphasized by the fact that
we cannot afford TO be parslmOnious in
providing for what is essential TO our
national well being
Needs of Financial situation.
The integrity Of our currency is be-
yond question, and under present con-
ditions it would be unwisc and unnec-
essary TO attempt reconstruction of
our entire monetary system. The same
liberty should be granted the secretary
Of the treasury TO deposit customs re-
ceipts as is granted him in the depOs-
it of receipts from other sources. In
my message of Dec. 9. 1902. | called
attention to certain needs of the finan-
cial situation, and again ask for
consideration of the congress for these
questions.
1.-THE president commends the work
of the international monetary confer
ence and advises its continuance
A majority of our people desire that
steps be taken in the interests of
American shipping, so that we may
once more resume our former position
in the ocean carrying trade. But hith-
erto the differences of opinion as TO
the proper method of reaching this end
have been so wide that it has proved
impossible to secure the adoption Of
any particular scheme. Having in
view these facts, recommend that the
congress direct the secretary Of the
navy, the postmaster general and the
secretary of commerce and labor. asso-
ciated with such representation from
the senate and house of representatives
rs the congress in its wisdom may des-
ignate, TO serve as commission for the
purpose of investigating and reporting
TO the congress at its next session what
legislation is desirable or necessary for
the development of the American mer-
chant marine and American commerce
and incidentally of a national ocean
mail service of adequate auxiliary ma
val cruisers and naval reserves. While
such measure is desirable in any
event, it is especially desirable at this
time, in view of the fact that our pres
ent governmental contract for ocean
mail with the American line will expire
in 1905. The establishment of new
lines of cargo ships to South America.

in the interest of our commercial eX-

PRESIDENT 5 MESSAGE.

Washington, Dec. THE presidents
message has been transmitted TO CON
gress. It's principal features are as fol-
lows:
The country Is TO be congratulated
on the amount of substantial achieve
ment which has marked the past year
both as regards our foreign and as re-
CARDS our domestic policy.
With nation as with man the
most important things are those of the
household, and therefore the country
is especially to be congratulated on
what has been accomplished in the di-
rection of providing for the exercise of
supervision over the great corporations
and combinations of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. The
congress has created the department
of commerce and labor, including the
bureau of corporations, with for the
first time authority TO secure proper
publicity of such proceedings of these
great corporat tiOns as the public has
the right to know. 1t has provided for
the eXpediting of suits for the enforce
ment of the federal antitrust law, and
by another law 1t has secured equal
treatment to all producers in the trans
portation of their goods, thus taking
a long stride forward in making effec-
tive the work of the interstate COM
merce commission
The preliminary work of the bureau
of corporations in the department of
labor has shown the wisdom of its ere
alton. Publicity in corporate affairs
will tend to do away with ignorance
and will afford facts upon which intel
ligent action may be taken. Systemat-
ic, intelligent investigation is already
developing facts the knowledge Of
which is essential TO right under
standing of the needs and duties of
the business world. The corporation
which Is honestly and fairly organ
lied, whose managers in the conduct
of its business recognize their obliga-
ton to deal squarely with their stock
holders, their competitors and the pub
lic has nothing to fear from such SUI
pervision The purpose of this bureau
is not to embarrass or assail legitimate
business. but to aid in bringing about
Il better industrial conditional condi-
ton under which there shall be obedi-
ence to law and recognition of public
obligation by all corporations, great or
small. The department of commerce
and labor will be not only the clearing
house for information regarding the
business transactions of the nation, but
the executive arm of the government
to aid in strengthening our domestic
and foreign markets, in perfecting our
transportation facilities. in building up
our merchant marine, in preventing the
entrance of undesirable immigrants, in
improving commercial and industrial
conditions and in bringing together on
common ground those necessary part
ners in industrial progress-capital and

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1903-12-09
Immigration,

We cannot have too much immigra.
ton of the right kind, and we should
have none at all of the wrong kind
The need is to devise some system by
which undesirable immigrants shall be
kept out entirely. while desirable i'm
migrants are properly distributed
throughout the country. At present
some districts which need immigrants
have none and in others, where the
population is already congested, immi-
grants come in such numbers as to de-
press the conditions of life for those al
ready there. During the last two years
the immigration service at New York
has been greatly improved and the cor
ruption and inefliciency which former,
ly obtained there have been eradicated.
This service has just been investigated
by committee of New York citizens
Of high standing, Messrs. Arthur V.
Briesen, Lee X. Frankel, Eugene A.
Philbin, Thomas w. Hynes and Ralph
Trautman. Their report deals with the
whole situation at length and concludes
with certain recommendations for ad-
ministrative and legislative action. 1t
is now receiving the attention of the
secretary of commerce and labor.

Capital and Labor.

The consistent policy of the national
government, so far as it has the power,
is TO hold in check the INSCRIPTIONS
man, whether employer or employee but
TO refuse to weaken individual initia-
tive or to hamper or cramp the indus
trial development of the country. We
recognize that this Is an era of fedora
tion and combination. in which great
capitalistic corporations and labor un-
ions have become factors of tremendous
Importance in all industrial centers.
Hearty recognition is given the far
reaching, benefcent work which has
been accomplished through both cor
porations and unions, and the line as
between different corporations, as be-
tween different unions, is drawn as 1t
Is between different individuals-that
is, it is drawn on conduct, the effort
being to treat both organized capital
and organized labor alike, asking moth
ing save that the interest of each shall
be brought into harmony with the in
terest of the general public and that
the conduct of each shall conform to
the fundamental rules of obedience to
law, of individual freedom and of JUS
tice and fair dealing toward all When
ever either corporation, labor union or
individual disregards the law or acts
in spirit of arbitrary and tyrannous
interference with the rights of others,
whether corporations or individuals,
then where the federal government has
misconduct is stopped, paying not the
slightest heed to the position or power
of the corporation, the union or the in
dividual, but only to one vital fact
that is, the question whether or not
the conduct of the individual or aggre-
gate of individuals is in accordance
with the law of the land. Every man
must be guaranteed his liberty and his
right to do as he likes with his prop
erty or his labor so long as he does
not infringe the rights of others.

gated $500, 0,396G74. The expenditures
for the same period were $506,099,007,
the surplus for the fiscal year being

any surplus. From July to November
