render such change inadvisasle hnless

which to determine the moment when

depend; hot merely on The needs: bit
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 beneti-

or one State only There must be
something like a general agreement
among the citizens Of the several
States, as represented iii the Con

sincere, intelligent. and disinter-

as will combine, SO far as possible

Immigr ration.

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. It is pointed
out that our farming sections need
labor. and that all who come with a
will to work will find a ready welcome.

Economy in Expenditures.

| earnestly recommend to the Con-
gress the need of economy and to
this end Of rigid scrutiny Of oppro-
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 adjustment Of the of
fee Of receiver of public moneys for
United States land offices.
Yet. in speaking of economy, | must
in no wise be understood as advo-
eating the false economy which is in
the end the worst extravagance. 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
a folly.
AT various times I 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 princi
pie and wasteful in results, while
many of their business methods arr
artiquidated and inefficient. There
is every reason why our executive
governmental machinery should be a
least as well planned, economical. ant
efficient as the best machinery of tht
great business organizations, whicl
at present is not the case.

Monroe Doctrine.


One of the most effective instru=
ments for peace il the Monrue Dnp.
trine as it has heen aud ia being grad
ually developed bE this Nation and
accepted by other nations. No Other
policy could have boon as efficient
in promoting peace 10 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
a 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. 1t is out of the question to
claim right and vet 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
It's 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 mere mater
Of self-defense we must exercise a
close watch over the approaches to
this canal; and this means that We
must be thoroughly alive to our inter
ests in the Caribbean Sea.

Public Land Laws.

Once again I 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
cnt conditions The honest disposal
and right use of the remaining pub
tic lands is of fundamental import
ance The iniquitous methods by
which the monopolizing of the public
lands is being brought abodt under
tie present laws are becoming more

do not furnish effective remedies.
Tie recommendations of the Public
Lands Commission upon this subject
are wise and should be given effect.

Huh Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to VOL
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants Of the family, the requirements
of society, more numerous. The first
effect of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is com
monty seen in a weakened or debil-
itated condition Of the nervous sys-
ten, which results in dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in com
plete nervous prostration. II is clear
v seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor
and tone to the nerves, and keep the
digestive and assimilative functions
healthy aud active. From personal
knowledge, we can recommend Hood $
Sarsaparilla for this purpose. It acts
on all the vital organs, builds up the
whole system, and fits men and wo-
men for these high-pressure days.

C0UR

On Monday, April sith. the jury re-
turned for the trial of indictments.
The first three indictments moved by
Prosecutor Herr were left over from
former terms of court, where iuries
had disagreed, and the indictments
were moved for re- triaI
The first was against Hannah q
Smith and William Wolfe, charged
with attempted burning of barn.
The defendants were represented by
X. $. kuhl. The case went over for
the term owing to the absence of an
important witness for the defense.
Asher Gary, charged with barn
burning, forfeited his bail, not mp
pearing when the indictment was
moved.
The trial of James H. Johnson WAS
put over until Tuesday, April %, on
account of witness for the defense.
Counsel for defense, Geo. II. Large.
The first Indictment called for trial
was against Frank r. Titus and Geo.
Titus for assault and battery on John
G. Lambert.
Mr.. Lambert, the prosecuting wit
ness, took the stand first and stated
that the Tituses, father aud son, had
assaulted him on April 9th in the fol
lowing manner He was at work re-
pairing fence, aud Geo. Titus drove
or attempted to drive through the gap
of fence he was building, and at the
instigation of Frank Titus attempted
to drive over Mr. Lambert, and that
the pole of the wagon struck him and
threw him down, and that he escaped
more serious injury only by the fact
that Grover Williamson, his young
work hand, stopped the team by main
strength. This testimony was cor
roborated by Grover Williamson, no
was the only other witness for the
plaintiff.
The defense put the defendants on
the stand. They stated that they did
not Intentionally run Mr.. Lambert
down, but that he attempted to stop
them from through the gap in the
fence by or asping the bride of one
of their horses, and that he slipped
and partially fell. Their testimony
was corroborated by three eye-wit-
nesses of the occurrence. The jury
was charged on Tuesday morning,
but found no cause for indictment
against them. Counsel for the defend
ants were o. |. Blackwell and Paul A.
Queen.

The Proper Way 40 Ride the Animal
In the water.

In the water.
A military Journal of Paris gives this
account of the way horse should not
be ridden and OF the way he should be
ridden In swimming n stream:
10 begin with, 1t must not be sup
posed that Il horse always swlms nat
urally and with ease the moment he IL
off his feet In tho water. The animal
under such circumstances has but one
notion to keep his head out of the wa
ter and to lift his shoulders as high ns
possible
In doing this his hind quarters sink,
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail, or at least in position
three-quarters erect.
In such position, If the rider draws
upon the rcins or throws his body back
IN the least, the animals hind quarters
will sink more and more, his body Will
take vertical position, and, beating
the water usclessly with his forefeet'
he will finally sink.
AS soon as the horse gets off his fee'
In the Watcr let the rider grasp hahd
full of tie animals name, leaning al
the same time well forward upon his
shoulders, but without touching the
horses head The riders knees should
be pressed tightly to the horses sides
otherwise he is likely to be swept on
by the water.
This is the only position which vii
enable n. man to remain In the saddle
and the horse to swim at the SAM
time.
The reins must be held loosely am
each well to one side. II the horse Is L
be guided In the wafer give the loos
rein II little Jerk In the direction dc

important never to pull on the reins.
