ANNUAL
MESSAGE
MONDAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Presi.
dent has put the final touches to his
message TO be presented to the long
session OF congress. which begins
Monday. Advance copies OF the docu-
ment have been given to the press
and as usual the strictest precautions
nave been taken to prevent its becom-
ing public before It's presentation to
the national legislative body. In pre-
pairing the message the President con-
suited a number of senator's and rep
resentatives and among the leading
members of both houses the chief fea-
lures OF the message are already pret-
~ well known.
Ii is stated on good authority that
the message will be the shortest the
President has ever written to regu-
lar session, IL is about one-third
shorter than the message of last year.
which was considerably shorter than
the first message. two years ago. The
document will contain fewer words
than any message by any of the pres
idents in number OF years
The message will discu carefully
the isthmian canal comp,ia ions and
make recommendations la !. II regard
1t will also take up the Immigration
question ani suggest greater restric-
lions to the end that undesirable i'm
migrants may be excluded. The post
ll scandal will be discussed. the les
son TO be drawn therefrom pointed out,
and the officials of the department who
Ierreted out and provided against its
repetition Will be praised
The message is expected TO advo-
cate the further enlargement of the
navy. II va not specify the number
and character of warships which the
President believes should be authoriz-
ed. as he will refer for that to the rec
concentrations of Secretary Moody
The latter will, 1t Is understood. rec
ommend the construction of at least
three battleships OF as great tonnage,
as great speed and coal capacity as
any ever authorized by congress.
Comment will be mde upon our
friendly relations with the world at
large. The Colombian imbIoglio will
come in for mention and satisfaction
Will be expressed at the settlement OF
the Alaskan boundary dispute. The
message is also expected TO discuss
the labor question, especially as re-
fers to government employees. 1t will
follow the precedent set by the Presi-
dent in his first message and contain
no synopsis of the reports o. the cab
met officers. OF course, the import
ance of currency legislation will be
urged but in regards to this and all
other public questions the message is
expected to be notably short and 10 the
point.

AZ last there came the victorious cry
OF the Dnrangos, as. for the second
time they drove their enemies from
the field, and we knew whose the vic
tory was. SO we sadly turned away
and dropped tear for those who had
gone down before the fierce onslaught
Of their savage foes.
The game was called shortly after
II o'clock. Durango made touclf-
down, but missed the goal in the first
half, and made a touchdown and. with
the assistance of the wind. managed
to get the ball between the goal posts
in the second. This gave them IL to
Montrose q.
The Moptrose men were the heav-
Ter. on an average. than Durnngn's
and all these circumstances combined
made the visitors the favorltes. and
our boys had struck snag in the way
of two 10-second men and an Ann Ar

Republicans have decided that one of
the first matters to be brought to the
attention OF the Legislature is the ad-
visibility of a change In the law of

give to voters greater liberty in the
matter of joining political parties. AS
the law now stands. II the voter de-
clares himself at the time Of registra-
