Army and Navy.

We cannot consider the question of
our foreign policy without at the
same time treatings1f the Army and
the Navy. We now have a very
small army-indeed, one well-nigh
ininitesimal when compared with the
army Of any other large nation. OF
course the Army we do have should
be as nearly perfect of its kind and
for its size as possible. do not be-
lieve that any army in the world has
better average of enlisted man or
a better type of junior officer; but
the Army should be trained to act
effectively In mass. Provision
should be made by sufficient appro-
priations for maneuvers of a practi-
cal kind so that the troops may learn
how to take care of themselves under
actual service conditions; every march
for instance, being made with the
soldier loaded exactly as he would
be in active campaign. The generals
and colonels would thereby have op-
portunity of handling regiments,
brigades, and divisions, and the com
misary and medical departments
would be tested in the field. Provis-
ion should be made for the exercise
at least of brigade and by preefr-
ence of a division in marching and
embarking at some point and continu-
ing its march. The number of posts
in which the Army is kept in time of
peace should be NATURALLY diminished
and the posts that are left made cor
respondingly larger. No local inter-
ests should be allowed to stand in
the way Of assembling the greater
part of the troops which would at
need form our field armies in stations
of such size as will permit the best
training to be given to the personnel
Of all grades, including the high Off
GERS and staff officers. To accom-
plish this end we must have not COM
pany or regimental garriSons, btu
brigade and division garrisons.

The Revenues.

There Is more need of stability
than of the attempt to attain an ideal
perfection in the methods of raising
revenue; and the shock and strain to
the business world certain to attend
any serious change in these methods
render such change inadvisable unless
for grave reason. 1t is not possible
to lay down any general rule by
which TO determine the moment when
the reasons for will outweigh those
against such a change. Much must
depend, not merely on the needs, but
on the desires, of the people as a
whole; for needs and desires are not
necessarily identical. OF course no
change can be made on lines benef-
cial to, or desired by, one section
or one State only. There must be
something like general agreement
among the citizens Of the several
States, as represented in the Con-
gress, that the change is needed and
desired in the interest of the people as
a whole; and there should then be
a sincere, intelligent, and disinter-
ested effort TO make it in such shape
as will combine, SO far as possible,
the maximum of good to the people
at large with the minimum Of neces-
snry diregard for the special interests
of localities or classes. But in time Of
peace the revenue must on the av-
erage, taking series of years to-
gether, equal the expenditures or else
the revenues must be increased. Last
year there was deficit Unless our
expenditures can be kept within the
revenues then our revenue laws must
be readiusted.

National Park Reservations.

The President recommends to the
Congress the enlargement of the
bounds of the Yellowstone National
Park, the protection of the Niagara
Falls and the establishment of such
other park reservations as congress
may see mt to set apart. The great
benefits of these national parks to
science as well as to the health and
happiness of the people is pointed
out.

Safety Appliances.

In my annual Message to the Fifty
eighth Congress, at it's third session
/ called attention to the necessity for
legislation requiring the use of block
signals upon railroads engaged in
interstate commerce. The number of
serious collisions upon unblocked
roads that have occurred within the
past year adds force to the recon-
mendation then made. The Congress
should provide, by appropriate legis-
Iation, for the introduction of block
signals upon all railroads engaged in
interstate commerce at the earliest
practicable date, as a measure Of in
creased safety to the travelling pub
lie.

Public Land Laws.

Once again l call your attention to
the condition of the public-land laws.
Recent developments have given new
urgency to the need for such changes
as will fit these laws to actual pres
cot conditions. The honest disposal
and right use of the remaining pub
lie lands is of fundamental import
ance. The iniquitous methods by
which the monopolizing of the public
lands is being brought about under
the present laws are becoming more
generally known, but the existing laws
do not furnish effective remedies.
The recommendation of the Public
Lands Commission upon this subject
are wise and should be given effect.

The Civil Service.

The civil service law has been on
the statute books for twenty-five
years. Every President and vast
majority Of heads of departments
who have been in office during that
period have favored a grodual ex-
tension Of the merit system. The
more thoroughly its principles have
been understood, the greater has
been the favor with which the law has
been regarded by administrative Of
officers. Any attempt to carry on the
great executive departments of the
Government without this law would
inevitably result in chaos. The Civil
Service Commissioners are doing eX-
ccllent work; and their compensa-
ton is inadequate considering the
service they perform.

Hours Of Labor Of Railroad En-
ployees.

The excessive hours of labor 20
which railroad employees in train SER
vice are in many cases subjected is
also matter which may well engage
the serious attention Of the Con-
gress. The strain, both mental and
physical, upon those who are engaged
III the movement and operation of
railroad trains under modern condi-
tions is perhaps greater than that
which exists in any other industry,
and if there are any reasons for limit
ing by law the hours Of labor in any
employment, they certainly apply with
peculiar force TO the employment Of
those upon whose vigilance and alert
ness in the performance Of their du-
ties the safety of all who travel by
rail depends.

Monroe Doctrine.

One of the most effective instru-
ments for peace is the Monroe Doc
trine as it has been and is being grad
ually developed by this Nation and
accepted by other nations. No other
policy could have been as efficient
ia promoting peace in the Western
Hemisphere and in giving to each ma
ton thereon the chance to develop
along its own lines. If we had refused
to apply the Doctrine to changing
conditions it would now be complete
ly outworn, would not meet any of the
needs of the present day, and indeed
would probably by this time have
sunk into complete Oblivion. 1t is
useful at home, and is meeting with
recognition abroad because we have
adapted our application of it to meet
the growing and changing needs of
our Hemisphere. When we announce
policy. such as the Monroe Doc
trine, we thereby commit ourselves
to the consequences of the policy, and
those consequences from time To time
alter Ii is out of the question TO
claim a right and yet shirk the re-
sponsibility for its exercise. Not on
ly we, but all American Republics
who are benefited by the existence
of the Doctrine, must recognize the
obligations each nation is under as
regards foreign peoples no less than
its duty to insist upon its own rights.
That our rights and interests are
deeply concerned in the maintenance
of the Doctrine is as clear as hardly
to need argument This is especially
true in view of the construction of
the Panama Canal. As a mere mater
of self-defense we must exercise a
close watch over the approaches to
this canal; and this means that we
must he thoroughly alive to our inter-
ests in the Caribbean Sea.

Juneau City Marshal Sup
 presses Filipino Outbreak

City Marshal Roy Burnett of Juneau won 8 fight with a big bunch of FiliPi- no sailors from the cableship Burnside last week by the free use of Judge Colt and jury of six.
 Two of the yellow men had been fighting and had been separated by the iutripld chief of city police, who told them he would stand for no monkeying. The Flipinos understood him to have called them monkeys, and they charged upon him. It less than the steenth part of a second Burnett's position re- sembled that of the pigskin in 8 foot ball mixup, He managed to get his right hand free, however, and brought his atillery into action. Twomen were slightly wounded and the new Ameri- can colonists made for the Burnside with aspeed made famous by their breth- ren in their rapid flights for Luzon jungles when the shooting began. No arrests have been made nor has there been another disturbance.

ALasKANs READY TO ACT

A philosopher of much wisdom once said that "God helps those who help themselves" and the people of Alaska are awakening to the necessity of lay ing the suggestion to their hearts. Never before has their been such 8 de- mand for action on the part of the peo- pie. The press of the southeast, the northwest, the interior and of the westward are saying, "let us act"
 Senators Patterson, Fulton and other senators and Representatives Sulzer, Lacey and other members of the lower house of congress are ready to stand on the floors of congress and fight real bat ties for us. It Is our duty to uphold their hands and make them the leaders of Alaska's cause. If we do not do th;s the milk and water leadership of cer- tain western congressman and the Seat tie chamber of commerce, which is always ready to compromise our rights away before the battle begins, will as sers itself.
 The people of Alaska are beginning to realize the significance of the situa- tion and from all over the district there is going up a demand that the entire district shall be represented at the con- vention when 1t shall have met at Seat tie. If Alaska shall be as completely represented at that convention as it now appears 1t will be there will be an opening of Seattle eyes, Many of the professional Alaska servers will learn how little they have understood the real sentiment of the people they have pretended to represent.

While the green eyed monster often plays important parts in the game of politics as well as in love it is not likely that the recent apparently friendly conference at Oys- ter Bay when Senator Lodge seemed to be taken back into the good graces of President Roosevelt was responsible for Senator Foraker's attack on the ad- ministration policies.
