ID ERHAPS we should refer the Presi-
\ dents message TO our readers and
allow them to form their own esti-
mates. Certainly editorial comment
is likely to be either perfunctory
treatise in the way Of an eulogy or
OF adverse criticism. The Every
Evening regards it as tiresome and
uninteresting, while the Morning News
calls It AN Admirable state Paper"
The Philadelphia Press declares 1T IS
full OF thoughtful, and we might say
philosophical, discussion" And so II
goes.
Turning to the dispatches giving the
views Of the English press, we find
generally nattering words, and express
sions Of admiration. SO If the zeader
cannot make up his mind for himself,
he may accept the consensus Of opln-
ion which is that It Is a clear and
comprehensive statement Of the state
Of the government--and that Is what
presidents message should be.
1t is a report with recommendations,
such as the President OF any great
corporation might make, and is inter-
esting just as business is interesting.
It may be noted, however that the
President takes no backward step
The enforcement Of the Monroe doc
trine carries with Il a certain respon-
sibility for the maintenance OF order
on this continent and the Executive
reafiirms his position on that point
He presents anew his arguments for
a more efhcient navy. and reiterates
his views on capital and labor, on
agriculture and the regulation OF in
dustrial combinations. He has avoid
ed rhetoric, but has given Congress an
admirable outline OF the legislation
that should engage its attention.
