Army and Navy.
l do not believe that any army In the
world has a better average of enlisted
man or a better type of Junior officer.
but the army should be trained to act
effectively in a mass. Provision should
be made by sufficient appropriations
for maneuvers of a practical kind.
Provision should be made for the pro
motion of exceptionally m%eritorious
men over the heads OF their comrades
and for the retirement of all men who
have reached a given age without get
ting beyond a given rank.
There should be an Increase in the
coast artillery force SO that our coast
Notifications can be IN some degree
adequately manned. There is special
need for an increase and reorganization
Of the medical department Of the army.
In both tue army and na s there must
be the same thorough ia Eng for duty
In the stan corps as IN the hghting line,
The Importance of this was shown con
clusively In the Spanish-American and
the Russo-Japanese wars. The work
OF the medical departments in the Jap
anese army and navy is especially
worthy of study.
Our navy must. relatively to the la
vies of other nations. always be of
greater size than our army. We have
most wisely continued for a number of
years to build up our navy, and 1t
has now reached a fairly higs standard
Of efficiency. This standard must not
only be maintained. but increased. 1t
does not seem to mt necessary, how
ever, 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 to
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 be
attained by adding a single battleship
to our navy each year, the superseded
or outworn vessels being laid up or
broken up as they are thus replaced.

Naturalization.

On this subject I recommend:
First.-A federal bureau of naturali-
~Eation. to be established In the depart
ment OF IN and labor, to SUI
pervise the administration of the natu-
rallzation laws and to receive returns
Of naturalizations pending and accom-
plished.
Second.-Unlformity of naturalization
certificates, fees to be charged, and
procedure.
Third.-More exacting qualifications
for citizenship.
Fourth.--The preliminary declaration
Of intention to be abolished and no
alien to be naturalized until at least
ninety days after the fling of his petit
ton.
Fifth. Jurisdiction to naturalize
aliens to be confined to United States
district courts and to such state courts
as have jurisdiction In civil actions in
which the amount In controversy Is un
limited; In cities Of over 10000 inhab-
itants the United States district courts
to have exclusive jurisdiction In the
naturalization of the alien residents OF
such cities.

In my last message | asked the at
tention OF the congress to the urgent
need Of action to make our criminal
law more effective. and | most ear
nestly request that you ipay heed to
the report Of the attorney general on
this subject.
There seems to be no statute of the
United States which provides for the
punishment of a United States attor-
ney or other officer Of the government
who corruptly agrees to wrongfully do
or wrongfully refrain from doing any
act when the consideration for such
corrupt agreement Is other than one
possessing money value. This ought to
be remedied by appropriate legislation.
Legislation should also be enacted to
cover explicitly, unequivocally and be-
yond question breach Of trust In the
shape OF prematurely divulging official
secrets by an officer or employee Of the
United States and to provide a suitable
penalty therefor.

PROTEST AGAINST DELAY.

Meeting at TampicO, Mex, Thinks JuS- fIce Is Very Slow.
 Tampico, Mex, Sept. 2S.--Attended by twenty.two members of the American Colony of Tampico, a meeting was held this afternoon at the American Consulate to arrange for a protest against the long delays of Justice in arriving at a decision in the case of George L. Rouse. formerly agent here for the Mexican Central, and held In custody in connection with fraud al- legged to have been perpetrated by J. Hess.
 A set of resolutions was drafted and will be at once forwarded to the Ameri- can Ambassador In Mexico City in or- der that he may hasten a decision of the case Over three months ago Hess was arrested on the charge to which he Is alleged to have pleaded guilty to- day, of swindling certain parties by means of duplicate bills of lading from employees of the Mexican Central. In view of his railroad connection, Mfr Rouse was arrested almost at the same time and has been held without ball over since. Hess made a statement, It is alleged, soon after his arrest to the effect that Mir. Rouse was in no way implicated in the frauds, and had no knowledge of them. Efforts have heretofore been made to hurry his trial. as the general opinion Is that MT. Rouse Is innocent and his reputation duriGg many years in Tampico has been blameless.
 The resolutions also contain refer ence to a negro named Hardin, in whose behalf q speedy settlement is urged Hardin was arrested on the ground of complicity in an accident by which a Mexican broke his leg.

A DEMOCRATIC SLOGAN
MARYLAND IS VERY WEARY OF
 NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
state Convention Declares It the eAnr xIe Issue Of Present CampaiER and Battle Cry of the
 Party.

Baltimore. Sept. 2s.-At the Demo- cratic State Convention of Maryland which was held here today. cofnptroli- CT of the State Gordon T. Atkinson was renominated and q platform adcpteas which. excepting a paragraph indors- ing the excellent business admlnlstra- ton of the present Governor, Is wholly devoted to the proposed constitutional amendment to restrict negro suffrage which will be voted upon at the No- vember election. The platform aA~ clares as follows:
 By common consent the only issue in this campaign Is whether negro suf- frage, pvt upon us agaInst our will by force, shall be restricted and it's pow CT for evil destroyed. This Democrat ic convention, representing two-thirdg of the white people of the State, re- afflrms the declaration of our party in our platforms of 1899 and 1908 upon this subject and now proelaims anew our resolute purpose to maintain the supremacy of our race and it's control by all lawful and constitutional meana of the administration of the political affairs of the State
 'Believing that the constitutional amendment will operate as an efTec- tive remedy of the evils of our situa~ ton without prejudice or injury to any race or class, and regarding It more~ over as a complete response to the clearly expressed mandate of the peo- pie. we unreservedly commend and-ap- prove 1t.
 We make 1t the single issue of this campaign.
 We declare 1t to be our battle cry.
 "The negro vote as 1t stands today Is a perpetual menace to the prosper Ity and peace of Maryland--a menace to our very civilization--for it is ig- norant corrupt, the blind instrument of interruptions and selfish leaders"
 United States Senator German was present at the convention, but did not participate in the proceedings.

Jefferson City. Mo, Sept. 2S.-Presi- dent c. L. Nichols and W. L. Mckee of the Republic oil Company are directed by Judge Fox of the Supreme Court, in an order Glade today, to appear before the special commissioner in the custer suit of Attorney General Hadley against the oil companies in St. Louis on october IS. and give Testimony re- garding the dealings of that company in the sales of oil in Missouri.
 The order was made on the applica- tion of the Attorney General. who al- leges that the testimony of these of- ficers Is important in that he Is inform ed and believes that the principal stock of the company is held by em- ployes of the Standard On Company and that this company is used by the Standard and Waters-Pierce Company to sell oil in their agreed territory, where the people will not buy from either of these companies.
