The Message.

The Presidents message was given to
Congress on Monday. 1t contains about
1900 words and of course covers many
subjects in its wide range. A very large
portion of it is devoted to the explanation,
or attempted justification of the President
and scandals in the Post Office Depart
ment, and insregard to public lands, immi-
grafton, naturalization, ETC., are dealt
with at some length. In naturalization
forgeries and perjuries of a shameless and
fragrant character are admitted to have
been perpetrated, being attributable to
corrupt politics and desire to evade alien
labor laws. Along this line of corruption
it is urged that bribery be made an ex-
traditable offense with foreign powers, in
order that public plunderers may be
brought to justice.
The President says we cannot have too
much immigration 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.
In this era when "capitalistic corpora
tions and labor unions have become fac.
tors of tremendous importance" the
President glibly says that capital and
labor should be treated alike, but fails to
offer many suggestions for smoothing out
the differences which are ever arising
between them.
The asset currency scheme appears to
have been sidetracked by the recent
slump in stocks, at any rate the subject oil
financial legislation is boiled to a short
paragraph, in which it is stated "the in.
tegrity of our currency is beyond ques.
ton, and under present conditions il
would be unwise and unnecessary to at.
tempt a reconstruction of our entire
monetary system"
The sentiment in favor of arbitration
as means of settling disputes between
civilized nations, rather than by war is
declared to be growing, but nevertheless.
In order to make assurance doubly sure
recommendations for the improvement
and strengthening of the army and the
navy are presented.
Other subjects reviewed and discussed
include the extension of the rural free
delivery system the modification of the
system of disposing of public lands tn,
preservation of forests remedial legisla
ton for the cotton weevil legislation fol
the development of Alaskas resources
tariff arrangements for the Philippines
development of the merchant marine
Various other questions are touched upon
the half of which, if Congress considers
will be more than it has ever accomplish
ed at any one session yet.

rlade An Assignment.

made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors on Friday,
reserving nothing but the $500
exempt under the law, to Milton
G. Pyle, of West Grove, and Alfred

by the failure of a trolley construc-
ton company in which he held
large, interests.
Neither the bank, nor the firm OF
S. X. Chambers & Bro. are said to
be affected. He has been in the
firm bearing his name in that place

Bill For Good Roads.

draw plans and estimates.
The county commissioners must adj
vertise for bids, but no bid shall be &C.
copied in excess of the commission
estimate.
The commission shall approve all con-
tracts and supervise the work.
The State shall pay half the expense
of the road.
All such roads shall become county

in repair by the county.
The sum of 5000, 900 is appropriated
annually to carry out the provisions OF
the bill.

Since the election of 1900 there has
been slump in the market value of
stocks amounting to more than $780,
900, 900, says a reviewer of financial and
industrial conditions in a democratic
journal. If the democrats had been sue
cessful in the last presidential election the
republican papers would have charged
this tremendous slump in stocks to the
democratic administration. How will
they explain it now? When it is refer
red to at all it is described as matter of
small Importance, and often defended as
a really desirable thing.
1t cannot be denied that many have
suffered by the slump. Those innocent
purchasers, of whom we hear so much
when remedial legislation is suggested,
have been suffering. 1t is said that the
steel trust has eS, 900 stockholders, and all
of these have suffered by the fall in prices.
We always hear of the widow when we
discuss the money question or attempt to
curb corporate rapacity, why is she kept
in the back ground now?
Can the country be said to be prosper
Gus if honest stocks have suffered a
shrinkage of nearly two billions of dollars
in three years? The fact is that the re-
publican leaders have permitted the gov.
eminent 10 be run i'll the interest of or.
gained wealth. They have permitted
the exploitation of the public. They have
not only permitted, but encouraged, the
issuing of stock and bonds that represent
not existing values, but future power tc
extort through the power of monopoly.
The producing masses are regarded as
legitimate objects of prey, and gigantic
corporations are created for the purpose
of robbing those who toll. Whether in
peace or in war, those who earn theii
living by labor on the farm and in the
shop, are the nations reliance. Why
should these, the bone and silew of every
land, be despoiled by the SPECTATORS who
reap rich harvest in times of peace and
shirk every national duty in time Of
trouble
The republican party stands today fol
plutocracy and all that plutocracy de-
sires. Its policies give prominence to the
dollar and leave man in the background
1t ought not to require slump in stocks
or fall in prices or run on the banks
to open the eyes of the people to what is
going on, but if any object lesson is
necessary it is furnished by present
conditions. Will the republican leaders
take warning and address themselves to
remedial legislation, or will they blindly
refuse to protect the public? There is
already evidence that they have been
frightened away from the asset currency.
The slump in stocks is an indication
that the trusts have overestimated their
power to squeeze the people, and that the
squeezing process must therefore be
applied to stocks.
