THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message which was
delivered to Congress on Tuesday, was
perhaps the longest document of the
kind that ever eminated from the
White House. With the exception of
the tariff, it discussed almost every
1piaase OF our National politics. The
Message is distinctly characteristic of
Mr.. Roosevelt. There is nothing enig-
NAUTICAL or e%quivocal about it, but he
goes directly to the heart Of every
question presented and leaves no
doubt about bis decided convictions
and constructive ideas.
He reiterates the ideas repeated in
nearly all Of his public u~tterances
that the moral should not be sacrificed
to the material and holds aloft the
essentials Of ideal citizenship.
In the opening paragraph Of the
message is this sentence:
I'm the long run the one vital fac
tor In the permanent prosperity of the
country Is the high individual char
acter Of the average American work.
er, the average American citizen, no
matter whether his work be mental
or manual, whether he be farmer or
waRe-worker, business man or profess
sional man.
Then further along he says:
For harm to morals is worse than
any possible harm to material in.
~terests, and the debauchery Of poll
tics and business by great dishonest
corporations is far worse than any act
ual material evil they do the public
And again:
Business success, whether for the
individual or for the nation, is q good
thing only so far as it is. accompanied
by and develops q high standard of
conduct-honor, integrity, civic cour-
sge. The kind OF business prosperity
that blunts the standard Of honor, |
that puts an inordlnate value on mere |
wealth, that makes q man ruthless

CONDITIONS IN ANTARCTIC
Captain scott Tells Royal GeOgraph-
icaI Society of Observations
In the south.

LONDON, March 1s.-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee)-Captain Scott described to
the Royal Geographical society this week
the geographical results of the Antarctic
expedition of the Discovery. Speaking of
the size of Antarctic icebergs he said there
was some excuse for exaggeration. OF the
many hundreds seen by the Discovery crew
very few exceeded a mile In length or $50
feet in height The largest iceberg they
saw was of King Edwards land. They
estimated that it was about five or six
miles in length and It seemed to run back
for an equal distance. He observed that
II was extremely improbable that the full
height of the ice cap of Victoria land could
be seen anywhere from the sea or from
the barrier service.
whether we accept what our imagina-
ton must suggest" said Captain Scott
"or whether we pause at the actual facts
which have been discovered, this great ice
sheet is unique"
He expressed the belief that the ice sheet
known as the Great Barrier is ahoat Hun
dreds of fathoms of water intervent be-
tween the bottom of the ice and the floor
of the sea- During their stay in the
Eastern inlet the ice rose and fell with the
ship.
IF the high coast line of Victoria Land"
he said 'is carried for 100 miles beyond
our position in the direction we saw it ex-
tending, 1t is making toward Grahamland,
and l cannot but think that it continues.
If so. the geogra phical pole will be situated
200 miles or more from II and on the high
plateau of ice."
