He mobiles his assertions and
explains his views when he contin-
ues:
I desire 20 repeat this recommen-
dation in political campaigns in a
country as large and populous as
ours it is inevitable that there
should be much expense OF an en-
tirely legitimate kind. This, OF
course, means that many contribu-
tions. and some OF them Of large
size, must be made. and, as a matter
Of fact, IN any big political contest
such contributions are always made
to both sides. II is entirely proper
both 90 give and receive them, un-
less there is an improper motive
connected with either gift OF recep-
ton. II they are extorted by any kind
Of pressure or promise, expressed
or implied. direct or indirect. IN the
way of favor or immunity. then the
giving OF receiving becomes not on

The above statement is notice 20

may be ready for the next assess
ment The legality or nlegality OF
their action is to be determined by
the motive for which the contribu-
ton is made. AS man is above all
things selfish and nine and a half
times out OF ten has an lake to
grind" the above dissertation would
do well to be placed in a book Of
humor.
Mr.. Roosevelt is past-master in
the art OF explaining away embar-
RAISING propositions and of getting
himself out Of embarrassing predic-
aments fin which his strenuousnes
has placed him. He means well,
but the average colored brother viii
wonder why HIS reference to honest
elections we're so worded as TO par
alyze the North, while making no
implied references TO the South. The
Negro is forgotten and also a free

self willed when IN, and, as a rule. the
thought OF a doctor or the very sug-
gesuon OF remedy or medicine

This Is specially noticed In throat

fever, when applications to the tonsils

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S MES
SAGE.

President Roosevelts Message to
the Congress Of the United States
shows the "ear-marlls" OF careful
preparation and IS a most bewitch-
ing plea for all Of the reforms that
he advocates. Il is far more con-
servative than we had been led 10
believe that 81 would be. He docs
not retreat from any position that he
has taken, but he virtually admits
that he IS open TO argument and that
he is ready 90 accept such modihca-
tions Of his outlined policy as will
leave his pet measures in some sort
of condition. so that they may be
recognized by their father.
Mr. Roosevelt makes a strong
plea for the investigation OF labor
conditions in this country. He
shows the distinctive character OF
the politician when he calls for a
governmental regulation Of the mum
Der of hours a railroad employee
should labor and makes a most elo-
queDt plea for the reduction OF the
number He might with equal
force advocate an increase of pay
for this same class of people. IN
this and many other statements
he is Invading Mr.. w. J. Bryan's
territory and lending special force
TO his arguments.
President Roosevelt emphasized
his recent trip through the South
land by his recommendation that
the national government care for
the graves Of the Confederate dead.
This proposition was made by Pres
ident Mckinley. He emphasizes it
further by the reference to federal
elections. He says
The power OF the government TO
protect the integrity Of the cleo
tiOns OF its own officials IS inherent
and has been recognized and affirm
supreme court.
One reading this without con-
sulting what followed would think
he referred to the election farces In
the South as well as the election
frauds in the North. He says fur
Their:
There is no enemy Of free govern
ment more dangerous and none so
insidious as the corruption OF the
electorate. No one defends or ex-
cuses corruption. and IL would seem
10 follow that none would oppose
vigorous measures to eradicate It.

Mr.. Eldredge testified the company

manded his removal. The charges
also reelected upon Mr.. Eldredg e's
management as vice president. and
threat was made to ask for the ap-
pOintment OF a receiver for the com
pany. Engaged IN this movement OF
the policy holders also was J. S. Hof-
feCker a former auditor OF the com
pany who had been dismissed. or who
had resigned. Before leaving the con-
pany Honecker informed President
Burnham that be resigned becauss
their ideas as to common honesty diff
fered so much. and because he knew
or 90 many questionable transactions
OF which President Burnham had APP
proved Mr.. Eldredgo declared that
HonecEor was not dismissed until be
had demanded an increase ia salary
from $50 TO 500 a week, and practi-
cally had said it was safer for the
company TO keep him than O. let him

the company.
Another instance OF a "hold-up." Mr..

ton. in order TO get permission sguin
