Message

public play grounds receive his hearty
endorsement.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-12-10

After calling attention to the con-
tinued prosperity of the nation and
caution against extravaganza In gov
eminent expenditures, the president
ital and labor.
He regrets the inability to get a
unaniminity of wise action on indus
trial questions among the various
states, and after a discussion of the
extreme circumstances in industrial
troubles which would warrant federal
interference, he makes the following
decisive statement on unionism:
II believe that under modern indus
trial conditions it is often necessary
and even where not necessary it is yet
often wise, that there should be organ
iZation of labor in order better to Sc
cure the rights of the individual wage
worker. All encouragement should be
given to any organization, so long as it
is conducted with due and decent re-
gard for the rights of Others"
Continuing, he decries the use OF
the union to seek improper ends or
proper ends by improper means, and
then says:
Open and Closed Shops.
Wage workers have entire right to
organize, and by all peaceful and
honorable means TO enQedVOT 10 per-
suade their fellows to join with them In
organization. They have legal right,
which, according to circumstances may
or may not be a moral right, to refuse
to work in company with men who
decline to join their organization"
In the next clause of his message
the president urges the enactment of
an employers liability law, and such
other laws as to safety appliances and
other devices for the protection Of the
worker from bodily harm. The ever
increasing casualty list upon our rail-
roads, he says, is a matter OF grave
concern, and urgently calls for action
by the congress.
Taking up the union question again
in regard to government employees be-
longing to unions, he says there is no
objection to their doing SO. but says it
is a grave improperly for government
employees to band together for the pur-
pose of extorting improperly high
salaries from the government.
In the beginning of the clause, re-
ferring to the work Of the Bureau Of
Labor, he promises to soon transmit
to congress in a special message the
report of the bureau, of its findings in
an investigation of the labor troubles
in Colorado.
In a discussion Of the work Of the
bureau Of labor. he says much is to be
done looking to uniform legislation in
the several states relative to child
labor.

On tariff. he says he will communi-
cate with congress later.
After urging assistance in establish
ing oriental markets, the president
discusses naturalization and immi-
grafton. He benoans the increase of
naturalization frauds, and suggests
government action looking to uniform
regulations for naturalization in the
several states.
In one short paragraph he COM
mends the work of the pension de-
partment, and in discussing the In
dian affairs, he suggests higher sal
aries for Indian agents in order to get
better class Of men to look after the
needs and wants Of the red men, and
urges the appointment of a field assist
ant to the commissioner of Indian
affairs.
A national quarantine law and an
all-salaried consular service is urged
by the president.
The first real knock in the message
is In one short paragraph relative to
government printing. He calls atten-
t1on TO the extravaganza and waste in
the printing and binding of government
publications.
He commends action encouraging
our merchant marine, but offers no
suggestions as to the manner Of action.
as TO whether the announcement be
by granting subsidies or otherwise.
The delays in the trial of the postal
frauds case is the basis of a discussion
or the courts of the country. After
mentioning these cases, he says:
Were these isolated and special
cases. l should not call your attention
20 them; but the difficulties encoun-
tered as regards these men who have
been indicted for criminal practices
are not EXCEPTIONAL; they are precisely
similar In kind to what occurs again
and again in the case OF criminals who
nave sufficient means to enable them
to take advantage OF a system Of pro-
cedure which has grown up in the

America and set forth in the following
paragraphs:
The steady aim of this nation. as OF
all enlightened nations, should be 10
strive to bring ever nearer the az,
when there shall prevail throughou'
the world the peace of justice. There
are kinds of peace which are highH
undesirable, which are in the long run
as destructive as any war. Tyrans
and oppressOrs have many times maae
wilderness and called 1t peace;
Many times peoples who were siotfui
or timid or shortsighted, who had been
enervated by ease or by luxury. OF
misled by false teachings, have shrunk
In unmanly fashion from doing duV
tht was stern and that needed sen
sacrifice, and have sought to hide lroin
their own minds their SHORTCOMINGS
their ignoble motives, by calling tnein
love of peace. The peace Of tyrannou'
terror, the peace of craven weakness,
the peace Of injustice, all these shouia
be Stunned as we shun unrighteou'
war. The goal to set before us as =
nation. the goal which should be sc.
before all mankind, is the attainment
which comes when each nation Is no'
merely safe-guarded in it's own risnD'
but scrupulously recognizes and per
forms it's duty toward others. Gen.
orally peace tells for righteOusness'
but if there Is conflict between the twu,
