Mr. Helms speeches were in a high
degree assinine and very offensive.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt's message TO
congress- is a strong and exceedingly
well written document. The cond-
ton Of the government and the people
and the problems confronting us are
handled with a boldness. force and
ability that does credit to the presi-
dents reputation as a man OF cour-
age and as a thinker. as we'll as TO
his reputation as writer. In fact. it
may reasonably be ranked among
.he ablest Of our state papers.
The most notable feature of the
message is the crushing silence on
the tariff Not line, not a word is
said. upon the subject which has been
agitating the country almost mora
than all others combined In this the
message must be a great disappoint
ment II looks now very much like
a back down. and the prospect for a
revision or for any steps in that di-
rection is considerably lessened
There is evidently very little excuse
for hoping that the burdens of the
outrageous protective duties will be
in any measure reduced by this con
gress.
The. president reiterates his deter
mination to play he role of an lin
ternationala policeman" asserting his
right to rebHke and punish all South
American. countries who do not "be
have themselves. .t1'he president

object II II 10 be hoped, however,
thar the president win find everybody
behaving themselves on his beat
during the next four years.
The Strongest part OF the message
IS The ringing declaration against
Railroad rebates and the firm stand
taken thar they must lie stopped This
Is question which has become mora
and more threatening within the las
few years nntil such rebates row
