PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt has issued his message
to congress, and it is creating no little comment
among Republican politicians. 1t is not the
odinarv stereotyped message, but it exhibits an
i1dividuality-a personality all his own.
He recommends legislation to prevent rail
road accidents.
He endorses labor-uuionisin, but says that,
lille government employees may belong to
uaions, no discrim nation against ron-uuion
men can be tolerate by the federal executive.
H tavors the retirement OF the greenbacks,
and creating more elastic currency, and max
ing silver coin redee nable in geld.
He favors legislation to encourage merchant
marine. In other words, he endorses the ship
subsidy scheme.
HI wants to ircre ase the navy.
He says there is no danger of having too
n any immigrants of the right kind, from what
soever country but the standard by which inn
migrants are gagged for admission must be
kept high to prevent the debasement of the
American wage.earner.
He wants more army officers, but says nothing
about increasing tbs standing army.
He says that, above all else, we must strive
to keep the highways CT commerce open to all
on equal terms; and to do this, It is necessary to
put complete stop to all reb ties. Whether
the shipper or the railroad is 20 blame makes
TO d. ference: the rebate must Be stopped.
He says federal laws to deal with great cor
poratons are believed to be the only adequate
remedy to curb any evils arising from great
combinations OF wealth In order to meet the
situation effectively, the enlargement of the
scope and power of the Bureau Of Corporations
is urged.
He says this nation has no intention of med
ding with the affairs of South American ma
tons except in case "of their welfare" Says
he: Cali this country desires is to see the
neighborng countries stable, orderly and pros
perous."
There is much in the message that is good,
but whether the good overshadows the bad or
not is questionable.

WARNING AGAINST RACE SUICIDE.
'esident Roosevelt says:

President Roosevelt says:
ono Christian and civilized community can
afford to show happy-go-luclSy lack of con-
Germ for the youth of to-day; for, if so, the
community will have to pay terrible penalty
of financial burden and social degradation in
The tomorrow. There should be severe child
labor and inspection laws.
ct is very desirable that married women
.hould not work in factories. The prime duty
II the man is to work-to be the bread winner.
'ghc prime duty OF the woman is to be the
rrolher-the housewife.
"All questions of tariff and finance sipk into

treiu andous, the vital Importance of trying to
aiaoe conditions so that these two duties of the

leasonably favorable circumstances. IF race

some respects. But President Roosevelt does
rot take into consideration the fact that there
are many couples who are not fit to become
tstbers and mothers, morally, physically or
otherwise, and it is better that they have no
children. Every child has right to be born
uuder the best conditions and with the best en-
vironmeuts. Otherwise, the child is handi-
capped in the beginning, and has no chance to
become good and useful man or woman. In
that event, it were better had he or size never
baon born.
Financial and industrial conditions are such
that many thousands of couples are unable 10
own their homes, and the increase OF popula-
tion under such conditions is OF no benefit to

Municipal Ownership.
From Bryan's Commoncr.

From organs Commoner.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Territory, bought
out The private water works plant about three
yea ago by bond issue, paying some S72, 600
tor he plaut 1t has lowered the water rate
abolt % per cent, and has made enough profit
to spend about S3c, 900 in addition to the plant.
Las. year, there was balance Of 81 900 left
over for the year after paying running ex-
penSes.
Municipal ownership is a success, and the
readers of The Commoner who live in cities
Dug 1t to see to it that an agitation is begun for
the taxing over OF all municipal franchises in
Their respective towns. There is DO possible
excise for private water works or lighting
plants, and the sentiment in favor OF the mu-
niciDal ownership of the street railways is
gro owing one. 1t is impossible to have private
ownership of municipal franchises without
corruption as well as extorton--the two go to-
gether. The managers Of such plants in order
to make dividends upon fictitious capital, must
subs;dize the city officials. The first step to-
ward purifying city government is to put the
city il charge OF all natural monopolies within
is borders.
