Of providing for expeditions action
by the Interstate Commerce Comnis-
sion in all these matters, whether in

for storing or handling property or

Conclusion.

Suitable provision should be made
for the expense of keeping our dip
lomatic officers more fully informed
of what is being done from day to
day in progress of our diplomatic
affairs with other countries. The
lack of such information, caused by
insufficient appropriations available
for cable tolls and for clerical and
messenger service. frequently puts our
officers at a great disadvantage and
detracts from their usefulness. The
salary list should be readjusted. Ii

and experience required in the diff
fercnt positions. or to the differences
in the cost of living. In many cases
the salaries are quite inadequate.

Thes ubject of immigration is treat
ed by Mr.. Roosevelt in a particular
ly able and thoughtful manner. The
tendency of foreigners to congregate
in sections of the country already
congested with people is deplored.
High-class foreigners are desirable
and are welcomed, but only those
with tendencies towards good citizen
ship and of industrious and law-ab-
iding habits will add to the general
welfare of the nation. 1t is pointed
out that our farming sections need
labor, and that all who come with a
will to work will find ready welcome.

Yet, while not merely admitting, but
insisting upon this, it is also true that
where there is no governmental re-

ceptional men use their energies not
IN ways that are for the common
good, but in ways which tell against
this common good. The fortunes

nual message of President Roosevelt
as read in both houses Of Congress:
Introduction.
TO the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives
The people of this country continue
10 enjoy great prosperity. Undoubt-
edly there will be ebb and flow IN
such prosperity, and this ebb and flow
will be felt more or less by all mem
bers of the community, both by the
deserving and the undeserving
Against the wrath Of the Lord the Wis
dom of man can not avail In times
of flood or drought human ingenuity
can but partially repair the disaster
A general failure Of crops would hurt
us. Again, if the folly Of man mars
the general wel-being, then those who
are innocent Of the folly will have to
pay part Of the penalty incurred by
those who are guilty of the folly. A
panic brought on by the speculative
folly of part of the business com
m,nity would hurt the whole business
community. But such stoppage of
welfare, though it might be severe,
would not be lasting. In the long
run the one vital factor in the per-
manent prosperity of the country is
the high individual character of the
average American worker, the aver
age American citizen, no matter
whether his work be mental or man
ual, whether he be farmer or wage
worker, business man or professional
man.
I'm our industrial and social system
the interests of all men are so closely
intertwined that in the immense ma
jority Of eases a straight-dealing man
who by his efficiency, by his ingenu-
ity and industry, benefits himself must
also benefit others. Normally the man
of great productive capacity who be-
comes rich by guiding the labor of
many other men does so by enabling
them to produce more than they could
produce without his guidance and
both he and they share in the benefit,
which comes also to the public at
large. The superficial fact that the
sharing may be unequal must never
blind us to the underlying fact that
there is this sharing, and that the ben
eft comes in some degrees to each man
concerned. Normally the wage-work-
er, the man of small means, and the
average consumer as well as the av-
erage producer, are all alike helped
by making conditions such that the
man of exceptional business ability
receives an exceptional reward for his
ability Something can be done by leg
islation to help the general prosper
ity; but no such help of perman-
emily beneficial character can be given
to the less able and less fortunate,
save as the results of policy which
shall inure to the advantage of all in
dustrious and efficient people who act
decently; and this is only another
way of saying that any benefit which
comes to the less able and less for
tunate must of necessity come even
more to the more able and more for
tunate. If, therefore, the less for
tunate man is moved by envy of his
more fortunate brother to strike at the
conditions under which they have
both, though unequally, prospered, the
result will assuredly be that while
damage may come to the one struck at
it will visit with an even heavier load
the one who strikes the blow. Taken
as a whole we must all go up or go
down together.

Insurance.

The great insurance companies af-
ford striking examples of corpora
tions whose business has extended so
far beyond the jurisdiction of the
State which created them as TO pre-
clude strict%-snforcement of supervi-
sion and regulation by the parent
States. In my last annual Message,
recommended "that the Congress
carefully consider whether the pow
er of the Bureau of Corporations can
not constitutionally be extended to
cover interstate transactions in in
surance. Recent events have en-
phasized the Importance of an early
and exhaustive consideration of this
question, TO see whether il is not pos
sible to furnish better safeguards than
the several States have been able to
furnish against corruption of the
llagrant kind which has been exposed.
lt has been only too clearly shown
that certain of the mon 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-honostv. the kind
of honesty necessary in order 10 avoid
falling into the clutches of the law.

The Department of State.

l recommend more adequate pro-
vision than has been made hereto
fore for the work of the Depart
ment of State. Within a few years
there has been very great increase
in the amount and Importance of the
work to be done by that Department,
both in Washington and abroad. This
has been caused by the great in
crease of our foreign trade, the in
crease of wealth among our people,
which enables them TO travel more
generally than heretofore, the in
crease of American capital which is
seeking investment in foreign coun-
tries, and the growth of our power
and weight in the councils of the
civilized world.

Criminal Laws.

In my last Message | asked the
attention of the Congress to the ur-
gent need of action to make our
criminal law more effective; and /
most earnestly request that you pay
heed to the report of the Aattorney-
General on this subject Centuries
ago it was especially needful to
throw every safeguard round the ac-
cused. Such danger then was lest
he should be wronged by the state.
The danger is now exactly the reverse.
Breaches Of Trust in Public Service
There seems to be no statute of
the United States which provides
for the punishment of United
States attorney or other officer of
the Government who corruptly agrees
to wrongfully do or wrongfully re-
frain from doing any act when the
consideration for such corrupt agree
ment is other than one possessing
money value. This ought to be rene
died by appropriate legislation.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1905-12-08
Labor.

The National Government has as
a rule but little occasion to deal with
the formidable group of problems
connected more or less directly with
what is known as the labor question,
Tor III the great majority of cases
these problems must be dealt with by
the State and municipal authorities
and not by the National Government.
The National Government has con
troll of the District Of Columbia. how
ever, and it should see TO it that the
City of Washington Is made model
city in all respects. berh as regards
parks, public grounds, proper regllla-
ton of the system Of housing so as
to do away with the evils of alley
tenementS, a proper system of educa-
ton, a proper system Of dealing with
truancy and juvenile offenders, pro-
per handling of the charitable work
of the District. Moreover. there
should be proper factory laws to pre-
vent all abuses in the employment of
women and children in the District.
These will be useful chiefly as OBJ
Ject lessons, but even this limited
amount of usefulness would be Of real
national value.
There has been demand for depriv-
ing courts of the power to issue in
functions in labor disputes. Such
special limitation of the equity pow
ers of our courts would be most un-
wise. 1t is true that some Judges
have misused this power; but this
does not Justify denial of the power
any more than an improper exercise
of the power to call strike by a
labor leader would Justify the denial
of the right to strike.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor should also make thorough in
vestigation of the condition of
women in industry Over five
million American women are now
engaged in gainful occupations; vet
there is an almost complete iearth
of data upon which to base any trust
worthy conclusions rs regards sub
iect as important as il is vast and
complicated There is need of full
knowledge on which to base action
looking toward State and municipal
legislation for the protection or work
ing women. The introduction Of wo-
men into industry is working change
and disturbance in the domestic and
social life of the Nation.

Admission to Statehood.

I recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one
State and that Mexico and Arizona
be admitted as one State. There is
no obligation upon us to treat terri
torial subdivisions, which are mat
ters of convenience only, as bind
ing us on the question of admission
to statehood.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1905-12-08
Economy in Expenditures.

] earnestly recommend to the Con-
gress the need of economy and to
this end Of a rigid scrutiny of appro-
priations. As examples merely, | call
your attention to one Of two specific
matters. All unnecessary offices
should be abolished. The Commits
sioner of the General Land Office
recommends the abolishment of the Of
flee Of receiver of public moneys for
United States land offices.
Yet, i'll speaking Of economy, must
in no wise be understood as advo-.
eating the false ecohomy which is in
the end the worst extravaganza. To
cut down on the Navy, for instance,
would be a crime against the Nation
To fail to push forward all work on
the Panama Canal would be as great
folly
At various times / have instituted
Investigations into the organization
and conduct of the business of the
Executive Departments. While none
Of these inquiries have yet progressed
far enough to warrant final cOnclu-
sions, they have already confirmed
and emphasized the general imres-
sion that the organization of the De-
partments is often faulty in prinei-
pie and wasteful in results, while
many of their business methods are
artiquidated and inefficient. There
is every reason why our executive
governmental machinery should be at
least as well planned, economical. and
efficient as the best machinery of the
great business organizations, which
at present is not the case.

Federal Elections.

The President touches upon the
question of Federal elections, quot
ing the well known constitutional
provision that Congress shall be the
final Judge of the qualification of its
own members. He also declares
strongly against all forms of corrup-
ton and expresses regret at the grow
ing tendency to increase expenses in
connection with the conduct of po-
litical campaigns. Briefly, he ad-
voeates the greatest possible purity
of the ballot and the fullest free
dom of the exercise of the elective
franchise consistent with good gov
ernment.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1905-12-08

OF course the only complete remedy
for this condition must be found in
an aroused public conscience, higher
sense Of ethical conduct In the COM
munity at large, and especially among
business men and in the great pro-
fession of the law, and in the growth
Of a spirit which condemns all dis
honesty, whether in rich man or in
poor man, whether it takes the shape
of bribery or Of blackmail But much
can be done by legislation which is
not only drastic but practical.
