Naturalization.
On this subject l recommend:

On this subject l recommend:
First.-A federal bureau of naturai-
cation. to be established in the depart
ment of commerce and labor, to SUI
pervise the administration of the natu-
raliZation laws and to receive returns
of naturalizations pending and accom-
plished.
Second Uniformity of naturalization
certificates, fees to be charged, and
procedure.
Third.-More exacting qualifications
for citizenship.
Fourth.-The preliminary declaration
Of intention to be abolished and no
alien to be naturalized until at least
ninety days after the filing of his petit
ton.
Fifth. - Jurisdiction to naturalize
aliens to be confined to United States
district courts and to such state courts
as have jurisdiction in civil actions in
which the amount in controversy is I'M
limited; in cities of over 100000 inhab-
itants the United States district courts
to have exclusive jurisdiction i'll the

Criminal Laws.
In my last message | asked the at
tention of the congress to the urgent
need of action to make our criminal
law more effective, and l most ear
nestly request that you pay heed to
the report Of the attorney general on
this subject.
There seems to be no statute Of the
United States which provides for the
punishment of United States attor
ney or other officer of the government
who corruptly agrees to wrongfully do
or wrongfully refrain from doing any
act when the consideration for sucl
corrupt agreement is other than on
possessing money value. This ought
be remedied by appropriate Legislation
Legislation should also be enacted

giving improper minimum rates. call
your attention to the fact that my pro-
posal is not to give the commission
power to initiate or originate rates gen
orally, but to regulate q rate already
fixed or originated by the roads upon
complaint and after investigation. A
heavy penalty should be eXacted from
any corporation which fails to respect
an order of the commission. l regard
this power to establish maximum
rate as being essential to any scheme
of real reform in the matter Of railway
regulation.
1t is worth while considering whether
1t would not be wise to confer on the
government the right of civil action
against the beneficiary of rebate for
at least twice the value of the rebate.
This would help stop what is really
blackmail. Elevator allowances should
be stopped, for they have now grown
to such an extent that they are demon
aliZing and are used as rebates.
Private Car Lines.
All private car lines industrial roads.
should be expressly put under the SUI
pervision Of the interstate commerce
commission or some similar body so
far as rates and agreements practical
ly affecting rates are concerned. re-
hate in icing charges O" In mileage or In
u division Of the rate for refrigeratins
charges is just as pernicious as re-
bate in any other way.
There should be publicity Of the ac-
counts of common carriers. Only in
this way can violations or evasions of
the law be surely detected. A system
of examination Of railroad accounts
should be provided similar to that now
conducted into the national banks by
the bank examiners. A few first class
railroad accountants, if they had prop
er direction and proper authority to in
spect books and papers, could accom-
plish much in preventing willful viola
tons of the law.
Employers Liability Law.
In my annual message to the Fifty
eighth congress at it's second session l
recommended the passage of an en-
ployers' liability law for the District Of
Columbia and in our navy yards. l re-
newed that recommendation in my
message to the Fifty-eighth congress at
its second session and further suggest
ed the appointment of a commission to
make a comprehensive study of en-
ployers' liability with view to the en-
actment of wise and constitutional
law covering the subject, applicable to
I'll industries within the scope of the
federal power, 1 hope that such law
will be prepared and enacted as speed
lily as possible.
There has been demand for depriving
courts of the power to issue injunctions
in labor disputes. Such special limita
ton of the equity powers of our courts
would be most unWise. 1t is true that
some judges have misused this power,
but this does not justify denial Of the
power any more than an improper eX-
ercise of the power to call a strike by a
labor leader would justify the denial Of
the right to strike. The remedy is to
regulate the procedure by requiring the
judge to give due notice to the adverse
parties before granting the writ, the
hearing to be eX parte if the adverse
party does not appear ct the time and

Army and Navy.
! do not believe that any army in the
world has a better average of enlisted
man or better type of Junior officer,
but the army should be trained to act
effectively in a mass. Provision should
be made by sufficient appropriations
for maneuvers of a practical kind.
Provision should be made for the pro-
motion Of exceptionally meritoriOus
men over the heads of their comrades
have reached given age without get
ting beyond given rank.
There should be an increase in the
coast artillery force SO that our coast
Notifications can be in some degree
adequately manned. There is special
need for an Increase and reorganization
of the medical department Of the army.
In both the army and navy there must
be the same thorough training for duty
in the staff corps as in the fighting line.
The Importance of this was shown con-
clusively in the SpaniSh-American and
the Russo-Japanese wars. The work
of the medical departments in the Jap
anese army and navy is especially
worthy of study.
Our navy must, relatively to the ma
vies of other nations, always be Of
greater size than our army. We have
most wisely continued for number of
years to build up our navy, and it
has now reached a fairly high standard
Of efficiency. This standard must not
only be maintained, but increased. 1t
does not seem to me necessary, how
ever, that the navy should, at least in
the immediate future, be increased be-
yond the present number OF units.
What is now clearly necessary is to
substitute efficient for inefficient units
as the latter become worn out or as it
becomes apparent that they are use
less. Probably the result would be
attained by adding single battleship
to our navy each year. the superseded
or outworn vessels being laid up or
broken up as they are thus replaced.

From the view point of the average
man homework is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even 60 to bed for a nap
if she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs just tc suit her own
convenience. If she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
OF the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
tiers, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
of human strength, had said to the
toiling slaves, vDon't hurry, take a
rest every now and then - only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble"
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who cam rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
"Now, I'll be my own Mistress" finds
herself slave to household cares and
duties.
And oh! how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give if she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is

NIT violation Of law or the jeopardiz-
ing of life or property. OF course this
would not authorize the issuing OF

case in which it is not already author
lied by existing law.
| renew the recommendation / made
In my last annual message for an in
vestigation by the department of oom-
merce and labor of general labor condi-
tons, especial attention to be paid to
the conditions of child labor and child
labor legislation in the several states.
Such an Investigation should take into
account the various problems with
which the question of child labor Is
connected. In such republic as ours
the one thing that we cannot afford to
neglect is the problem of turning out
decent citizens. The future of the ma
ton depends upon the citizenship of
the generations to come. The children
of today are those who tomorrow will
shape the destiny of our land, and we
cannot afford to neglect them. The leg
islature of Colorado has recommended
that the national government provide
some general measure for the protec-
ton from abuse of children and dumb
animals throughout the United States.
1 lay the matter before you for what l
trust will be your favorable consider
alton.
As to Women Who Work.
The department of commerce and la.
Dor should also make thorough inveS-
tigation Of the conditions Of women in
industry. Over 100000 American wo-
men are now engaged in gainful occu-
pations, yet there is an almost complete
dearth of data upon which to base any
trustworthy conclusions as regards a
subject as important as it is vast and
complicated. The introduction Of wo-
men into industry is working change
and disturbance in the domestic and
social life of the nation. The decrease
in marriage, and especially in the birth
rate, has been coincident with it. We
must face accomplished facts, and the
adjustment to factory conditions must
be made, but surely it can be made
with less friction and less harmful eff
fects on family life than is now the
case This whole matter in reality
forms one of the greatest sociological
phenomena of our time. 1t is social
question of the first Importance, of far
greater Importance than any merely pO-
litical or economic question can be.
In any great labor disturbance not
only are employer and employee inter
ested, but also Il third party-the gen
eral public. Every considerable labor
difficulty in which interstate commerce
is involved should be investigated by
the government and the facts officially
reported to the public.
Insurance.
The great insurance companies afford
striking examples of corporations
whose business has extended so far
beyond the jurisdiction of the states
which created them as to preclude
strict enforcement of supervision and
regulation by the parent states. In my
last annual message I recommended
"that the congress carefully consider
whether the power Of the bureau Of
corporations cannot constitutionally be

SantO Domingo.
Santo Domingo has now made an ap-
peal to us, and not only every principle
of wisdom, but every generous instinct
within us, bids us respond to the APP
peal. The conditions in Santo Domingo
have for a number of years grown
from bad to worse until year ago all
society was on the verge of dissolution.
Fortunately just at this time a ruler
sprang up in Santo Domingo who, with
his colleagues, saw the dangers threat
ening their country and appealed to the
friendship Of the only neighbor who
possessed the power and the will to
help them. There was imminent dan
ger of foreign Intervention. The pa
tience of foreign creditors had become
exhausted, and at least two foreign ma
tons were on the point of intervention
and were only prevented by the unoffi-
cial assurance of this government thu
it would itself strive to help Santo
Domingo in her hour Of need.
Accordingly, the executive depart
ment of our government negotiated q
treaty under which we are trying to
help the Dominican people to straight
en- out their finances. This treaty IS
pending before the senate. In the
meantime temporary arrangement
has been made under which the Domin-
lean government has appointed Amer
leans to all the important positions in
the customs service, and they are see
ing to the honest collection of the rev.
enues, turning over 40 per cent to the
government for running expenses and
putting the other 80 per cent into a
safe depository for equitable division
