AS A general rule the Presidents
message to Congress is not generally
read, and mighty few men really find
time to go through the entire docu-
ment. but the message this year
promises to be mighty interesting
reading for ali sorts and conditions Of
men. His recommendations for needed
legislation are going to be noted by
the people, and a Congressman who
fails to act on them will need to have
a mighty good excuse ready for his
constituents when he comes home
after the session. The people have
confidence in Roosevelt and they are
ready to support his policies.

THIRTY of the leading seed dealers
of the country have sent a petition to
President Roosevelt asking him to use
his influence to stop the free distribu-
tlon of seeds by the government. The
practice ought to be stopped. Not be-
cause it interferes to any considerable
extent with the business of the seed
dealers for it does not, but because it
costs the government a good many
thousands of dollars annually with
out any practical benefits to anybody.
Nobody gets any real good out of it
unless it is the rural congressman
who finds the little packages of free
seed an effective means of keeping
his memory green in the minds of his
constituents. For half the money
spent in this free distribution the
government could maintain expert
ment farms in all sections of the
country where the seeds could be

data of some value. Conrressmen
are proverbia1ly tenacious of their

HIS FIRST REPORT
Chic. Esermann ofFire Department
ii Files His First Report With
the City Clerk
TRIBUTE TO PREDECESSOR

I Henry Isermann, the new chief of
the fire department, has filed with the
lefty clerk his first report of the de-
partment and it is one of the most in
Eteresting documents of the sortsever
Eplaced In the archives of the cityn In
making his report Chief Isermann
pays a deserving tribute to ex-Chief
Barr, and in concluding his message
to the council he says, Hoping that
I may give as good service in the
future as my predecessor, ex-Chief
James S. Barr, has given in the
past"
The report is an exhaustive one,
giving the long list of fires during the
period and showing the value of the
apparatus now owned by the city and
the men who are now employed in the
department. It shows that the value
of city real estate used for depart
ment houses is $4,000, and the value
of the apparatus of the department is
$24, 128..
Since July there has been twenty
one fires in the city, the most serious
being at the Jeffery Automobile
Works on August 81, the loss being
placed at So, 600, which was fully COW
cred by insurance.
In the list of causes of fires, spon-
taneous combustion leads the list
with a total of four fires from this
cause. Children playing.with matches
and stove explosions have caused the
usual number of losses.
In his list of recommendations to
the city Chief Isermann suggests the
purchasing of an exercising wagon
for Company No. 4, painting and re-
pairing of the hook and ladder truck,
and disposal of the old fire bell. He
states that new horses will be needed
in the near future, as the ones now
in use are wearing out. This is par
ticu1ar1y true Of the North side team.
He advised the employment of5another
man for....the Central engine house
and an increase in the pay of the
captains at the different stations and
the immediate purchase ofsbadges to
show the rank of the members of the
department. He also recommended
that the city council take some steps
to reserve a space along the water
front between Main street and Maiden
Lane to be used for fire engine in
case of serious fire.

SWITCH

SPECIAL GUARD
Plan to Prevent Wreck
ing Of the New York
Central Filler.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK. June 26.-Of all the fast
railway trains in the world, none will
be operated with greater precaution than
will the Twentieth Century Limited over
the New York Central and Lake Shore
systems between this city and Chicago.
In resuming the eighteen-hour schedule
between the two points, the officials of
the roads determined that such care
should be taken as to render practically
impossible a repetition of the disaster
that befell the fiier at Mentor. Ohio.
To insure the fier against disaster from
tampering with switches or signal lights,
the officials Of the New York Central
and the Lake Shore have arranged for
a special guard over every switch along
the entire line of track For twenty
minutes before the fier is due at a given
point the switch there will be under this
special guard. On no pretext will the
guard be permitted to leave the switch
for an instant during that time. II the
fiier be behind time the guard must
stand by the switch until it shall have
passed
This plan went INTO effect to-day over
the entire system from New York to
Chicago The special switch guard has
not yet been organized. but men have
been taken from the operating depart
ments along the line temporarily to act
In this capacity.

JET BLACK ROSES
GROWN IN ENGLAND
Color Said to Be Result of
Chemical introduced
Into Soil.
specIal pispatch % The Can.

NEW YORK, June 26-Florists in New
York are greatly interested in the an
nouncement that an Englishman has dis
covered how to grow Jet black roses, a
feat which has been yainly attempted for
many years. If a dozen of them could
be offered for sale to-day in this city.
fhe leading florists agreed that there
would be no difficulty in obtaining $1,000
for the bunch.
No secret has been more closely guard
ed by German gardeners than that of
developing even a comparatively black
flower. Visitors are allowed to look at
the bushes and buds on special occa-
sions, but what ingredient has been put
into the soil to bring about the ab-
normal color has not been told, even to
close friends.
1t was said to-day by New York florists
that undoubtedly the color is the result
OF some chemical introduced into the SOIL
but what 1t is may not be known gen.
orally for years, IL at all. The same prin-
ciple, however. is supposed to be involved
as in the development of blue hydrangeas
which are produced by putting iron into
the soil in which plants are grown.
