The Right Principle.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun
With much that appears in the Presi-
dents message to Congress the pubic Is
familiar Especially is this the case In his
treatment of such subjects as the relations
of labor and capital, the Philippines, the
necessity for a greater navy, the regulation
of corporations and the attitude Of the
United States toward the South American
republics. These are topics which nave
been worn almost threadbare by discussion
In the press and on the hustings during the
presidential campaigns of 1900 and 1904.
Mr.. Roosevelt can write vigorously and In
terestingly on many subjects. but even he
is handicapped by the annual refteration OF
views which he has had occasion to elabor-
ate repeatedly In the last few years. For
example his discussion of the relations be.
tween labor and capital, while sound and
courageous, presents no new ideas. The
President is friendly to organized labor, as
he is also to organized capital. But he I'M
sists that both must obey the law: that the
wrongdoing of the one must be opposed as
resolutely as the wrongdoing of the other.
That is good doctrine. The public is en-
titled to protection from oppression from
whatever source 1t emanates. The Presi-
dent has said this before. He repeats 1t
with emphasis. 1t is the right principle and
II will bear repetition.

Remarkable State Paper.
From the New Haven Registe

rum tne view raven heglSter
In its manner of treating the questions Of
pressing Importance to the welfare Of the
country and in its length the message OF
President Roosevelt which was delivered
today Is without a parallel In our political
literature. Measured by messages In the
past, it is a treatise. q lecture upon things
and acts and motives, not what used to be
known as business document. 1t is new
ertheless remarkable paper. forceful in
its discussion of some matters and at all
times interesting. 1t, of course, reflects
strongly the individuality of President
Roosevelt. but it is at the same time the
most mature thing he has ever done

A Comprehensive Address.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


President Roosevelt's annual message is
quite unlike the formal communications
which usually have been made at the meet
ing of Congress, giving Information of the
state of the Union in the manner Of an
executive report. OF precise information
concerning the public business there Is
very little. and those subjects of legisla-
tion which have recently been most dis
cussed are but cursorily referred to. The
message is rather a comprehensive address
or essay upon q very wide range of po-
litical, ethical and economic facts and the
cries. embracing alike the conduct of indi-
yiduals and of nations.

Likes Not His Style.
ON the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
In estimating President Roosevelt's mes
sage as in Judging most of his writings, one
feels the need of logical distinctions like
those of the schoolmen. The difference. for
example, between property and accident
could never have been more useful than In
separating the Rooseveltian chaff from the
wheat His purely pro-forma utterances;
his care in saving the face of his party; his
solemn platitudes; his earnest exhortations;
his occasional easy descent from the SUBJ
lime to the ridiculous-as in the lame con-
clusion of his argument that we must be
prepared to whip all creation, and that, as
"a means to that end, I'VE should be able, in
the event of some sudden emergency, to
put into the field one first-class army
corps" his readiness osettle every prob
lem, or at least to NEEDLE with it-all this
it is a convenience to set down as the ac-
cidentia of the message, and pass on to its
essentials

'om the New York American.

From the New York American
One man has learned the lesson of the
national election. Theodore Roosevelt has
seen the handwriting on the wall He has
learned that the people do not want a re-
dictionary and ultra-conservative system,
but popular and progressive policy. His
message is an expression of appreciation of
the strength of the position which the
progressive democracy occupied, position
which was, unfortunately, abandoned by
the controlling forces of the last demo-
cratic campaign, and he seeks to make
these real democratic issues part of the
policy of the republican party

The Trusts.
From the New York Times.


There may have been in some quarters
slight tremors of apprehension as to what
the President would say about the trusts,
but any trust organizer or promoter ol
combinations who should find fault with his
message would be entirely capable or de-
nouncing the binomial theorem as sedltlous,
or of demanding that the poems OF F'encia
Hemans be expurgated on grounds OF pupnc
morality AS Polk easily transferred the
responsibility for the Mexican war to the
shoulders of willing Congress, SO Presl-
dent Roosevelt by graceful ana easy
metonymy substitutes for his strenuous ad-
ministration the American people, who, II
seems, have charge of this trust matter.
and who will continue to show the qualtles
good sense the honest desire to avoid doing
any damage, and yet the quiet determina.
tion to proceed step by step without matt
and without hurry, to eliminating or at
least minimizing whatever of mischief or OF
evil there is to Interstate commerce IN the
conduct of great corporations"

No Need for Haste.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
President Roosevelt covers wide field in
his message to Congress, and he touches
upon most of the topics that were foremost
during the recent campaign He ignores
the tariff question. for there is no oc-
casion for haste in that direction, and ii is
desirable that whatever action may be
taken later should come as the consensus
of opinion among republican leaders. 1t V

Reimport American Wheat.

The New York financial district was IN

10000 bushels of Oregon wheat which is
now at Antwerp have been sold by the grain
firm of McLaren & Muir to -four mills OF
this city and will be brought back from
Antwerp for manufacture here into flour.
This il the first time In the history OF the
grain trade that exported wheat has been
brought back for any other purpose than to
meet the exigencies Of corner in that COM
modify, and the transportation at this time
Is due to the small crop OF wheat in this
country this year and the high prices now
obtaining for 1t.

The Labor Question.
From the New York Sun.

The Presidents message is very interest
ing and very important document ana we
earnestly advise it's widespread perusal. 1t
il the most pregnant and notable OF all Mr.
Roosevelt's state papers, and the matter OF
ii will be found to concern deeply all man
ner of persons throughout the whole Amer,
can domain. The most vital feature, and
that which is of the widest and most imme-
diate application, is the Presidents decla-
ration upon the labor question, which Is to-
day the most important problem that con-
fronts the people of this country.

People of fair intelligence who are ex-
tremely busy equally indolent or by nature
needless of the nations interest and honor
may do no more than glance over President
Roosevelt's message to Congress-. made
public today but we do not hesitate to
say that it ought to be read from beginning

United States, and most of all by those who
may be inclined to ignore 1t. At the outset
the President naturally and properly signi-
fies his qualification at the approval which
the country has so impressively bestowed
upon his administration, but the partisan
note is nowhere to be detected in this re-
markable document. That the chief magis-
trate of all the people is speaking with per-
feet disinterestedness, under a deep sense
of responsibility, is evident in every sem

Calm and Dispassionate.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
President Roosevelt's annual message to
Congress Is for the most part calm and
dispassionate review, confined mainly to
matters of secondary interest, though not
without Importance, almost devoid OF
specific statements Of fact relating to pub
lie affairs and containing comparatively
little in the way Of definite recommends

In the circumstances of the time it Is
literary feat that President Roosevelt has
performed in writing a message OF more
than twenty thousand words without once
using either of the words tariff or
trusts" The tariff question. in fact, is
conspicuously and distinctly avoided.

special message on the subject or to sum-

revision or whether he will listen to the
stand pat senators and representatives

KEYNOTE of the Message.

From the Boston Transcript.
The President, being Of the didactic mind,
1t is not surprising to find that he devotes
q large portion 81 the space at his COM
nand In his message to the discussion of
social industrial topics Indeed. his treat
ment of long-continued governmental pol
icies Is OF the most summary character in
his eagerness to consider the relations OF
capital and labor and the government.

Prolix.
From the New York World.


President Roosevelt's fourth annual mes
sage has the fault of most of his state
papers. 1t is much too long and much too
prolix. The president has discussed pretty
nearly everything in the heavens above, the
earth beneath and the waters under the
earth-except the tariff. The message ought
to be read, nevertheless; for II shows Mr.
Roosevelt at his best and at his worst and
at most of the intermediate stages.

and under all circumstances.

THE WATERBURIANS.
Excellent Production for First Night
 Performance.

The mammoth production of the fine
 musical extravaganza, 'The Water
 buTians,' was the attraction which
 drew a large audience to Polls theater last night. The extravaganza was
 produced under the auspices of the
 Waterbury Boys club. Nearly 1000 children took part in the play, and
 their work was eminently satisfactory.
 It was expected that there might be much confusion considering the num-
 Der of children who appeared in the
 production, but there was none what soever The children had been well trained and we'll nigh perfectly drilled,
 and last night they enacted their roles
 with graceful compartment which
 was put the natural result of their training. But the children could do more than look well. They sang fine ly. Tn the different choruses there was a perfect blending of the hun dreds of voices. The harmony was not far from perfection. There is no
 plot to the play. It abounds with spe- cialities. It teens with songs and dances and drills and tableaux. There are so many pretty things ill it fhat
 space would not allow the mention
 one-half of them. There are severn
 songs which have local adaptation The features of the first act were the ''Old Grandfathers' March and ''Flir- tation Drill" The song, Grandpa
 was sweetly sung by Mabel Thumb erg, assisted by the chorus Miss Carrie
 Beerbaum made lovely queen of the witches. Her dancing was executed with a grace and charm of movement which elecited much applause from Lhe audience. Rounds of applause greet, cd the appearance of dozen sniaii boys. who were attired as British cav alrymen and who made q brave and gallant charge of old-fashioned rock ing horse. Some clever sleight-of- hand work was performed by George Lewis as Prof Napoleon of Yale. A pretty Japanese song and drill was ln- trodrced in the last act. Miss Ruby Pinuev as Fi-Fi and Edward DoWney as her Japanese lover, did some clever acting. A sailors drill. directed by George TowIe. was well received, as were q song and dance by the DanJo girls. the manual of arms drill by
 C,on4Dany 4. c. N. G.. and a chorus by the Red Cross nurses. During the grand finale the stage was darkened. The production was ably staged by Miss Marie LJrrane. who has dlrected the training and drilling of the chll- dren since the beginning of feheaTsals. Miss I.urane possesses much ability ill this line as was proved by the line work of the hundreds of children last night. Another large audience was present this afternoon. Tonight the final performance will be given. Inc patronesses are Mrs R. G. Bryan Mrs N. R. Rronson. Mrs +. NJ. Burrall,
