came to this country greater number of people than came here during the one hundred and sixty-nine years Of our colonial life which intervened be- tween the first landing at Jamestown and the Declaration of Independence. It is clearly shown in the report 0f the commissioner general of immigrl- tion that while much of this enOrnlous immigration is undoubtedly healtay and natural. considerable proportion Is undesirable from one reason or anoth- CT; moreover, Q considerable propOr- tion of it, probably a very large pro portion, including most of the undc- sirable class, does not come here or its own initiative, but because of the activity of the agents of the great transportation companies. Thesc agents are distributed throughout Eu- rope, and by the offer of all kinds or inducements they wheedle and cajoic many immigrants, often against their best interest, to come here The most serious obstacle We have to encounter in the effort to secure a proper regul1- tion of the immigration to these shore arises from the determined opposition of the foreign steamship lines who have no interest whatever in the mat ter save to increase the returns on their capital by carrying masses or immigrants hither in the stesragc quarters of their ships.
 In actual practice il has proved so difficult to enforce the immigration laws where long stretches of frontier marked by an imaginary line alone in tervene between us and our neighbOrs that I recommend that no immigrants be allowed to come in from Canada and Mexico, save natives of the two countries themselves. As much as pos sible should be done 10 distribute the immigrants upon the land and keep them away from the cOngested teue- ment-house districts of the great cit ies. But distribution is a palliative not a cure. The prime need is to keeF out all immigrants waO will not make good American citizens. The laws now existing for the exclusion of undcsire- ble immigrants should be strengthened Adequate means should be adopted. enforced by sufficient penalties. 60 compel steamship companies engaged in the passenger business to observe in good faith the law which forbids them to encourage or solicit imTnisra- tion to the United States MoreOver. there should be a sharp limitation i'm posed upon all vessels coming 10 our ports as to the number Of immigrants in ratio to the the tonnage which each vessel can carry.

tion appears to enjoy the unbroken support of the people. The great users of timber are themselves forwarding the movement for forest preservation. All organized opposition to the forest reserves in the West has disappeared. Since the consolidation of all Govern ment forest work in the National For est Service there has been rapid and notable gain in the usefulness of the forest reserves to the people and in public appreciation Of their value. The national parks within or adjacent to forest reserves should be transferred to the charge of the Forest Service also
 MERCHANT MARINE.
 To the spread of our trade in peace and the defense of our flag in war a great and prosperous merchant ma rine is indispensable. We should have ships of our own and seamen of our own to convey our goods to neutral markets, and in case of need to reinforce our battle line. It can not but be a source of regret and uneasi- ness to us that the lines of communi- cation with our sister republics of South America should be chiefly under foreign control. It IS not a good thing that American merchants and manu- lecturers should have to send their goods and letters to South America via Europe if they wish security and dispatch. Even on the Pacific. where our ships have held their own better than on the Atlantic, our merchant flag is now threatened through the liberal aid bestowed by other governments on their own steam lines. I ask earnest consideration of the report with which followed it's long and careful inquiry.
 PENSIONS.
 It is a matter of unmixed satisfac- tion once more to call attention to the excellent work of the pension bureau; for the veterans of the civil war have a greater claim upon us than any oth-f CT class of our citizens. To them, first of all among our people, honor is due.
 Seven years ago my lamented prede cessor, President Mckinley, stated that the time had come for the nation to care for the graves of the Confed- crate dead. I recommend that the congress take action towards this end. The first need is to take charge of the graves of the Confederate dead who died in northern prisons.
 IMMIGRATION.
 The question of immigration is of vital interest to this country. In the year ending June 30. 1905, there came to the United States 1,026,000 alien immigrants. In other words in the single year that has just elapsed there

There is always a certain air of dis tinction and smartness about the cuta- way coat and this coming autumn 1t will be in the height of style. In the illustration is shown one of the best of all models that is made of broadcloth stitched with belding silk and closed by handsome buttons in double breasted style, but it is appropriate for all coat ings and suitings. The style is a very generally becoming one and the model is adapted both to the costume and to the separate coat as it can appropriate ly be worn with either full plaited or gored skirts.

NATURALIZATION LAWS.

During the past year evidence ndS accumulated to confirm the expres- sions contained in my last two annual messages as to the importance of re- vising by appropriate legislation our system of naturalizing aliens. l ap- pointed last March a commission to make a careful examination of our naturalization laws, and to suggest appropriate measures to avoid the mo- torious abuses resulting from the inn provident or unlawful granting of cit izenship. This commission, composed of an officer of the department of state, of the department of justice and of the department of commerce and labor, has discharged the duty imposed upon it, and has submitted a report, which will be transmitted tc the congress for it's consideration, and I hope, for it's favorable action.
 The distinguishing recommends tions of the commission are:
 First A federal bureau of naturali- zaticn, to be established in the 6e- partment of commerce and labor, to supervise the administration of the naturalization laws and to receive re- turns of naturalizations pending and accomplished.
 Second Uniformity of naturalization certificates, fees to be charged, anC procedure
 Third. More exacting qualifications for citizenship.
 Fourth. The preliminary declaration of intention to be abolished and nc alien to be naturalized until at least ninety days after the filing of his pc tition.
 Fifth. Jurisdiction to naturalize alien! to be confined to United States dis trict courts and to such state court:

Candidates Hard Work Will Now Come

State.
VIRGINIA ALSO IN LINE

Kentucky is for Shaw for the Repub-
lican nomination for President in 1905.
This is the latest dictum of the politi-
cal forecasters. They say that Kentucky
may not know it yet, but the men who
do Kentucky's political thinking the
Republican side do know II.
Their leader is John W. Yerkes. Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, who is
quoted as having made clear on vari-
Gus occasions lately that he is for the
Secretary of the Treasury and will use
his influence to line up for him the Ken
lucky delegation.
Significance of Conditions.
No little significance is attached to
This condition of affairs. Mr.. Yerkes is
not only one of the vigorous and highly
successful administrators under the Fed
eral Government, but easily the first
power in his party in Kentucky He Is
head of the group of men who at pres
ent dominate the State; an excellent
campaigner. an effective manager, and a
close friend and admirer of Secretary
Shaw
That the Shaw movement is making it
self felt in the South, and that it is
coming 10 be taken seriously by polite
ians who have looked into conditions in
that section, is not to be doubted. The
astute Secretary is credited with having
