LAWS CONCERNING
 CITIZENSHIP.

Not only are the laws relating to natu- ralization now defective. but those relat- ing to citizenship of the United States ought also to be made the subject of scientific inquiry with a view to probable further legislation. By what acts expa- triation may be assumed to have been ac- complished, how long an Amreican citi- zen may reside abroad and receive the protection of our passport whether any degree of protection should be extended to one who has made the declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States but has not secured nat uralization, are questions of serious im- port involving personal rights and often
 producing friction between this govern ment and foreign governments. Yet upon
 these questions cur laws are silent I recommend that an examination be
 made into the subjects of citizenship. ex- pstristion, and protection of Americans

NATURALIZATION LAWS
 SHOULD BE REVISED.

There should be a comprehensive revis- ion of the naturalization laws. The courts having power to naturalize should be definitely named by national authority; the testimony upon which naturalization may be conferred should be definitely prescribed; publication of impending nat uralization applications should be re- quired in advance of their hearing in court; the form and wording of all cer- tifcates issued should be uniform throughout the country and the courts should be required to make returns to the secretary of state at stated periods of all naturalizatons conferred.

HAWAII AND
 PORTO RICO.

The Alaskan natives should be given the right to acquire. hold, and dispose of property upon the same conditions as given other inhabitants and the priyil- ege of citizenship should be given to such as may be able to meet certain definite requirements. In Hawaii congress should give the governor power to remove all the officials appointed under him. The har- bor of Honolulu should be dredged The marine hospital service should be em- powered to study 1eprosy in the islands. I ask special consideration for the report and recommendations of the governor of Porto Rico.

DELAYS IN CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS.

No subject is better worthy the ten tion of the congress than that portion of the report of the attorney general dealing with the long delays and great obstruction to justice experienced ill the cases of Beavers, Green and Gaynor, and Benson. Were these isolated and special cases, I should not call your attention to them; but the difficulties encountered as regards these men who have been in- dicted for criminal practices are not ex- ceptional; they are precisely similar in kind to what occurs again and again in the case of criminals who have suftt-snt means to enable them to take advantage of a system of procedure which has grown up in the federal courts and which amounts in effect to making the law easy of enforcement even to the point of sometimes securing immunity, as regards the man who has money. In criminal cases the writ of the United States should run throughout it's borders. The wheels of justice should not be clogged, as they have been clogged in the cases above mentioned, where 1t has proved absolute ly impossible to bring the accused to the place appointed by the constitution for his trial. Of recent years there has been grave and increasing complaint of the difficulty of bringing to justice those criminals whose criminality, instead of being against one person in the republic, IS against all persons in the republic, be- cause 1t Is against the republic itself. Under any circumstance and from the very nature of the case it is often exceed ingly difficult to secure proper punish ment of those who have been guilty of wrongdoing against the governments By the time the offender can be brought into court the popular wrath against him has generally subsided; and there is in most instances very slight danger indeed of any prejudice existing in the minds of the jury against him. At present the in terests of the innocent man are amply safeguarded; but the interests of the government that is the interest of hon est administration, that IS the interests of the people, are not recognized as they should be. No subject better warrants the attention of the congress. Indeed, no subject better warrants the attention of the bench and the bar throughout the United States.

ExTRAVAGANcE IN PRINTING.

TN NttN tiN0s
 I call your attention to the great ex- travagance in printing and binding gov ernment publications, and especially to the fact that altogether of these publi- cations are printed. There is constant tendency to increase their number and their volume. It is an understatement to say that no appreciable harm would be caused by, and substantial benefit would accrue from, decreasing the amount of printing now done by at least one-half. Probably the great majority of the government reports and the like now printed are never read at all, and fur thermore the printing of much of the material contained in many of the re- maining ones serves no useful purpose whatever.
 CURRENCY.
 The attention of the congress should be especially given to the currency question. and that the standing committees on the matter in the two houses charged with the duty, take up the matter of our cur rency and see whether 1t is not possible to secure an agreement in the business world for bettering the system; the com mittees should consider the question of the retirement of the greenbacks and the problem of securing in our currency such elasticity as is consistent with safe ty. Every dollar should be made by law redeemable in gold at the option of the holder.
 MERCHANT MARINE.
 I especially commend to your immedi- ate attention the encouragement of our merchant marine by appropriate legisla- tion.
 ORIENTAL MARKETS.
 The growing importance of the Orient as a field for American exports drew from my predecessor, President McKin- ley, an urgent request for it's special con- alteration by the congress. In his mes sage of 1898 he stated:
 ''In this relation, as showing the pe- culiar volume and value of our trade with China, and the peculiarly favorable conditions which exist for their expan- sion in the normal course of trade. I re- fer to the communication addressed to the speaker of the house of representa- lives by the secretary of the treasury on the 14th of last June. with its accompa- nying letter of the secretary of state, seceumspding sn appropriation for .

ALASKA.

Alaska, like all our territorial acquisi- tions, has proved resourceful beyond ex- pectations of those who made the pur- chase. It has become the home of many hardy, industrious, and thrifty Amert- can citizens. Towns of a permanent char acter have been built. The extent of it's wealth in minerals, timber fisheries and agriculture while great Is probably not comprehended yet in any just measure by our people. We do know, however, that from a very small beginning it's products have grown until they are a steady and material contribution to the wealth of the nation. Owing to the im- mensity of Alaska and it's location in the far north, 1t is difficult matter to pro- vide many things essential tn its growth and to the happiness and comfort of its people by private enterprise alone. It should, therefore, receive reasonable aid from the government The government has already done excellent work for Alaska in laying cables and building tel egraph lines. This work has been done in the most economical and efficient way, by the signal corps of the army
 In some respects 1t has outgrown its present laws while in others those laws have been found to be inadequate In order to obtain information upon which I could rely 1 caused an official of the department of justice, in whose judgment 1 have confidence, to visit Alaska during the past summer for the purpose of as certaining how government is adminis- tered there and what legislation is &C., tually needed at present. A statement of the conditions found to exist. together with some recommendations and the reasons therefor, In which l strongly con cur, will be found in the annual report of the attorney general. In some in- stances I feel that the legislation sug- gested is so imperatively needed that am moved briefly to emphasize the at torney generals proposals.
 Under the code of Alaska as it now stands many purely administrative pow CTS and duties, including by far the most important, deyolve upon the district judges or upon the clerks of the district court acting under the direction of the judges, while the governor upon whom these powers and duties should logically fall, has nothing specific to do except tc make annual reports issue Thanksgiving day proolamations. and appoint Indian policemen and notaries public. 1 believe it essential to good government in Alaska and therfore recommend that the con gress divest the district judges and the clerks of their courts of the administra- tive or executive functions that they now exercise and cast them upon the gov ernor This would not be an innovation; it would simply conform the government of Alaska to fundamental principles making the governorship a real instead of a merely nominal office, and leaving the judges free to give their entire at tention to their judicial duties and at the same time removing them from a great deal of the strife that now embarrasses the judicial office In Alaska.
 I also recommend that the salaries of the district judges and district attorneys in Alaska be increased so as to make them equal to those received by corre- spending officers in the United States

FOREIGN POLICY.

In treating of our foreign policies and of the attitude that this great nation should assume in the world at large, 1t is absolutely necessary to consider the army and the navy, and tt congress, through which the thought of the nation finds it's expression. should keep ever viy- idly in mind the fundamental fact that 1t is impossible to treat our foreign poli- cy, whether this policy takes shape in the effort to secure justice for others or jus tice for ourselves, save as conditioned upon the attitude we are wiling to take toward our army, and especially toward our navy. It Is not merely unwise, 1t IS contemptible, for a nation. as for an in- dividual to use high sounding language to proclaim it's purposes or to take posi- lions which are ridiculous If unsupported by potential force, and then to refuse to proyide this force. If there is no in- tention of providing and of keeping the force necessary to back up a strong at- titude. then 1t is far better not to as- sume such an attitude.
 The steady aim of this nation, as of all enlightened nations. should be to strive to bring ever nearer the day when there shall prevail throughout the world the neace of justice. There are kinds of neace which are highly undesirable, which are fin the long run as destructive as any war Tyrants and oppressors have many times made a wilderness and called 1t peace. Many times peoples who were siothful or timid or shortsighted. who had been enervated by ease or by luxury, or misled by false teachings. have shrunk in unmanly fashion from doing duty that was stern and that need

 TRlCENTENNIAL

In 1907 there will be held at Hampton Roads the tricentennial celebration of the settlement at Jamestown, Va, with which the history of what has now be- come the United States really begins. I commend this to your favorable consider ation. It is an event of prime historic significance, in which all the people of the United States should feel, and should show, great and general interest.
