Something New in the World.

A political strike, a strike of the
laboring masses for the purpose Of
securing desired reforms or changes
in existing laws, is something new
in the history Of the human race. 1t
is designed to be a bloodless weapon,
but just as potent in producing re-
suits as armies or battleships The
intention Of the organization is to
secure desired objects by paralyzing
the industries Of a country until the
governing powers yield. In other
words a peaceful revolution.
1t seems that the laboring masses
of Russia are organized and deter
mined to use this new weapon until
the Gar and his Grand Dukes
grant the people a liberal share in
the government of that country. The
results thus far have been amazing,
and if the leaders can restrain the
the ruffianly element from deeds of
violence success seems almost assur-
ed.

Football must be revised, radi-
cally revised, or abolished. The list
Of deaths and serious injuries, re-
sulting from the brutality Of football
players, is little less than appalling.
And these fatalities and injuries are
not the worst features Of the game.
1t is cowardly; it is un-American; it
is debasing.
The prize fight rule, which pro-
tects a man from being struck when
he is down, is reversed in football as
it is played by the leading college
teams. When a football player is
thrown to the ground and held there
by a moro powerful antagonist, he
may expect to be jumped upon by
other members of the opposing team
and struck and kicked in the mos
vital parts of his body. No mani,
man would take such an advantag,
Of fallen foe; it is un-American t,
take such an advantage of a fallel
foe; it is cowardly to take such al
advantage Of fallen foe; the gam,
as it is played teaches an unmanl,
lesson.

In my last message l asked the ut

United States which provides for tho
punishment of Il United States attor-
ney or other officer of the government
who corruptly agrees to wrongfully do

act when the consideration for such
corrupt agreement is other than one

Merchant Marine.
To the spread of our trade In peace
and the defense of our flag in war a
great and prosperous merchant marine
Is Indispensable. We should have ships
of our own and seamen OF our own to
convey our goods to neutral markets
and in case of need to REINFORCE our
battle line. 1t cannot but be n source
of regret and uneasiness to US that the
lines of communication with our sister
republics of South America should be
chiefly under foreign control. 1t is not
n good thing that American merchants
and manufacturers should have to send
their goods and letters to South Amer
ica via Europe If they wish security
, and dispatch. Even on the Pacific,
t, where our ships have held their own
: better than on the Atlantc, our mer-
. chant flag IS now threatened through
, the liberal aid bestowed by other gov
i ernmcnts ON their own steam lines. I

report with which the merchant ma
rlne commission has followed its long
and careful inquiry.
1t is matter of unmiXed satisfac-

to furnish against corruption of the
fragrant kind which has been exposed.
1t has been only too clearly shown
that certain of the men at the head of
these large corporations take but small
note of the ethical distinction between
honesty and dishonesty. They draw
the line only this side of what may be
called law honesty. the kind of honesty
necessary in order to avoid falling into
the clutches of the law. OF course the
only complete remedy for this condi-
ton must be found in an aroused pub
lie conscience. IL higher sense of ethical

of bribery or of blackmail. But much
can be done by legislation which is not
only drastic, but practical. There is
need of far stricter and more uni
form regulation of the vast insurance
interests of this country. The United
States should in this respect follow the
policy of other nations by providing
adequate national supervision Of COM
mercIal interests which are clearly ma
tional in character.
l repeat my previous recommends
tion that the congress should consider
whether. the federal government has
any power or owes any duty with re-
spect to domestic transactions In in
surance of an interstate character.
That state supervision has proved in
adequate is generally conceded.
The Revenues.
There Is more need of stability than
of the attempt to attain an ideal per-
| fiction In the methods of raising rev.
enue, and the shock and strain to the
business world certain to attend any
serious change in these methods rem
der such change inadvisable unless for
grave reason. 1t is not possible to lay

termine the moment when the reasons

such n change. No change can be
| made on lines beneficial to or desired

must be something like n general agree
ment among the citizens of the several
states that the change is needed and

can be kept within the revenues then

Army and Navy.
do not believe that any army in the
world has a better average of enlisted
man or better type of Junior officer,
but the army should be trained to act
effectively in II mass. Provision should
be made by sufficient appropriations
for maneuvers of II practical kind.
Provision should be made for the pro-
motion of exceptionally mertorlous
and for the retirement of all men who
have reached a given age without get
ting beyond n given rank.

Notifications can be In some degree
adequately manned. There Is special
need for IN Increase and reorganization
of the medical department of the army.
In both the army and navy there must
! be the same thorough training for duty
! in the staff corps as In the fighting line.
] The Importance of this was shown con-
clusively In the Spanish-American and
the Russo-J japanese wars. The work
of the medical departments in the jap
anesc army and navy is especially
worthy of study.
Our navy must, relatively to the ma
vies of other nations, always be of
greater size than our army. We have
most wisely continued for number of
years to build up our navy, and 1t
has now reached Il fairly high standard
of efficiency. This standard must not
only be maintained, but increased. 1t
does not seem to me necessary, how
lever, that the navy should, at least in
the immediate future, be increased be
yond the present number of units
What is now clearly necessary is tc
substitute efficient for inefficient units
as the latter become Worn out or as il
becomes apparent that they are use
less. Probably the result would b'
attained by adding single battleshil
to our navy each year, the supersede,
, or outworn vessels being laid up o
broken up MS they are thus replaced.

Economy In Expenditures.
l earnestly recommend to the con-
gress the need of economy and, to this
end, Of rigid scrutiny of appropria-
tons. All unnecessary offices should
be abolished. In the public printing
also large saving of money can be
made. There is constantly growing
tendency to publish masses of unim-
portant information ut which no human
being ever looks.
Yet, in speaking Of economy, must
in powise be understood as advocating
the false economy which Is In the end
the worst extravaganza. To cut down
in the navy would be a crime against
the nation. To fail to push forward oil
work on the Panama canal would be
as great folly.
Currency.
Every consideration of prudence de-
mands the addition of the element Of
elasticity to our currency system. The
evil does not consist In an inadequate
volume of money, but In the rightly
of this volume, which does not respond
rs 1t should to the varying needs of
communities and of seasons. Imitation
must be avoided, but some provision
should be made that will insure
larger volume of money during the fall
and winter months than in the less ac-
| tive seasons of the year, so that the
currency will contract against specula-
ton and will expand for the needs OF
legitimate business. At present the
treasury department Is at irregularly
recurring intervals obliged in the inter
est of the business world-that is, in
the interests Of the American public
to try to avert financial crises by pro-
| vidlng remedy which should be pro.
vided by congressional action.
Business Methods In Departments.
At various times have instituted in.
vestigations into the organization and
conduct Of the business Of the execu-
tive departments. While none of these
inquiries have yet progressed far
enough. to warrant final conclusions,
they have already confirmed and en-
phasized the general impression that
the organization Of the departments is
often faulty in principle and wasteful
In results, while many of their business
methods are Anticipated and inefficient

however modest it may be. First
of all, some day you will need
some ready money. Sickness,
loss of work, slight turn in the
wheel of fortune-- what will YOU
do? Another reason may be
found in content and peace of
mind. He who has some savings
feels more secure than does the
spend thrift. Discomfort and
worries dog the footsteps of the
maE who lives up all his income.
But the big reason is this: The
saying habit Is reflex in its ac-
ton. 1t is an index of character.
1t is easy TO spend money. 1t re-
qulres eff TT to save it. The
II bby minded man lets 20 his
