STICKS TO HIS GUNS.

President Roosevelt, in his annual
message to Congress, puts to the fore
front the three great measures of do
mestic policy that are linked with his
name
Publicity.
Anti-graft.
Enforcement of law
The President takes no backward
step. He does not falter in the least.
He utters no phrases capable of dOu-
BILE Interpretation, but speaks out
straight and clear, so that there can
be no doubt as to where he stands.
He stands by his guns. Usually the
President in his annual message starts
out with the consideration of ques-
lions of foreign policies, the state
ment of our relations to other nations.
But in this message President Roose-
welt, acting on the fact that with a
nation, as with man, the most i'm
portant things are those of the house
hold, begins with the consideration
of these questions of domestic policy
which he considers of the most vital
Importance.
From the standpoint of the business
man, President Roosevelt's message
is of utmost significance because of
the prominence which he gives to the
great problem of Government super
vision of corporations, which how
confronts the country, and on the
correct solution of which depends in
largest measure the welfare of the
nation.
We admire. the courage and the
strength of the President in dealing
with this problem, and we believe
that his platform of publicity, anti
graft andgenforcement of the law is
inyincible. That the people will re-
ject it is incOnceIvable.

BILE view of the result of last weeks
vote:
We wish the result of Tuesdays vote
had been more decisive, either on one
side or the other, for a majority of on
ly 1000 votes is a very narrow one on
a question of the Importance of the one
thus decided. But the purpose and
disposition of every friend of temper
ance ought, nevertheless TO be that of
accepting the result in good faith and
of giving the license law an absolutely
fair trial. The burden of responsible
ity is now shifted from the shoulders of
the prohibitiOnists to those OF the Ii
cense advocates. We don't mean by
this that any temperance man or pro-
hibitionist ought to play, or has any
right to play, the part of an obstruc-
zionist. On the contrary, the univer-
sal determination ought to be to give
the new law the fairest trial possible.

spirituous liquors, that ii tends to So
briefly, that 1t does away with fraud
and hypocrisy, in short that such a
law can be honestly and effectively en-
forced to the betterment of the state,
the result will be gladly recognized

cense people to prove that this can be
done, Let them accept the RESPONSE
