they had proper direction and proper
authority to inspect books and papers,
could accomplish much in preventing
willful violations of the law.
I urge upon the Congress the need
of providing for expeditions action
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion in all these matters, whether IN
regulating rates for transportation or
for storing or handling property or
commodities in transit. The history
of the cases litigated under the pres
ent commerce act shows that its eff
cacay has been to great degree des-
troyed by the weapon OF delay, al
most the most formidable weapon
in the hands Of those whose purpose
it is to violate the law.

Santo Domingo, in her turn, has
now made an appeal to US to help
her, and not only every principle Of
wisdom but every generous instinct
within US bids us respond to the ap-
peal. 1t is not Of the slightest con-
sequence whether we grant the aid
needed by Santo Domingo as an in

Conclusion.

Suitable provision should be made
for the expense Of keeping our dip
Iomatic officers more fully Informed
Of what is being done from day to
day in progress of our diplomatic
affairs with other countries. The
lack of such information, caused by
insufficient appropriations available
for cable tolls and for clerical and
messenger service, frequently puts our
officers at a great disadvantage and
detracts from their usefulness. The
salary list should be readjusted. It
does not now correspond either to
the Importance of the service to be
rendered and the degrees Of ability
and experience required in the diff.
ferent positions, or to the differences
in the cost Of living. In many case,
the salaries are quite inadequate.

Merchant Marine.

Merchant Marine.
To the spread Of our tra,e in peace
and the defense O. our flag in war
s great and prosperous merchant ma
rine is indispensable. We sllold have
ships Of our own and seamsn Of our
own to convey our goods to neutral
Elarkets, and in case Of need to re-
enforce our battle line. It can not
bat b a source of regret and un-
cesinsss to US that the lines Of COM
mmicaticn with out sister republics
Of South america should be chiefly
under foreign control.
.... Pensions.
The soldier who did his duty in
the time Of war should receive the
benefits Of a grateful country, but
here as elsewhere, a strict watch
should be kept to prevent fraud.
Mississippi Levees.
The National Government already
does something in connection with
the construction and maintenance OF
the great system of levees along the
lower course Of the Mississippi; in
my judgment it should do much
mol,e.
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 gradual 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 ace doing ex-
ccllent work; and their compensa-
ton is inadequate considering the
service they perform. 81
Admission to Statehood.
recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one
State and that Mexico and Arizona
be admitted as one State. There IS
no obligation upon us to treat terri
torial subdivisions, which are mat
ters Of convenience only, as bind
ing us on the question OF admission
to statehood.
Panama Canal.
The treatment between the United
States and the Republic Of Panama,
tunder which the construction Of the
Panama Canal was made possible,
went into effect with its ratification
by the United States on April q,
1904, on payment Of $4O,O00,0OO to
that company. On April l, 1905, the
Commission was reorganized and
it now consists of Theodore T.
Shonts, chairman, Charles E. Ma
Admiral Mordecai T. Endicott, Brig.
Gen. Peter C. Hains, and Col. Oswald
III. Ernst.
The Department Of State.
I recommend more adequate pro
vision than has been made hereto
fore for the work Of the Depart
ment of State. Within a few years
there has been a very great increase
in the amount and Importance Of the
work to be done by that Department,
both in Washington and abroad. This
has been caused by the great In
crease Of our foreign trade, the IN
crease of wealth among our people,
which enables them to travel more
generally than heretofore, the In
crease of American capital which is
seeking investment in foreign coun-
tries, and the growth of our power
and weight in the councils OF the
civilized world.

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1905-12-07

Of course the only complete remedy
for this condition must be found in
an aroused public conscience, higher
sense of ethical conduct in the COM
munity at large, and especially among
business men and in the great pro-
fession of the law, and in the growth
Of a spirit which condemns all dis
honesty, whether in rich man or in
poor man, whether it takes the shape
Of bribery or of blackmail But much
can be done by legislation which is
not only drastic but practical.

Corporations.

: insisting upon this, it is also true that
where there is no governmental re-
straint or supervision some Of the ex-
ceptional men use their energies not
in ways that are for the common
good, but in ways which tell against
this common good. The fortunes
amassed through corporate organiza-
r, tion are now so large, and vest such
power in those that WELD them, as
to make it matter Of necessity to
give to the sovereign-that is, to the
Government, which represents the
people as a wholesome effective
power of supervision over their cor
porate use. In order to insure a heal
thy social and industrial life, every
big corporation should be held respon-
sible by, and be accountable to, some
sovereign strong enough to control its
conduct. am in no sense hostile to
corporations. This is an age Of COM
bination, and any effort to prevent all
combination will be not only useless,
but in the end vicious, because of the

The great insurance companies af-
ford striking examples Of corpora
tions whose business has extended so
far beyond the jurisdiction of the
State which created them as to pre-
clude strict enforcement Of supervi-
sion and regulation by the parent
States. In my last annual Message,
I recommended "that the Congress
carefully consider whether the pow
er of the Bureau Of Corporations can
not constitutionally be extended to
cover interstate transactions in in
surance." Recent events have en-
phasized the Importance of an early
and exhaustive consideration of this
question, to see whether it is not pos
sible to furnish better safeguards than
the several States have been able to
furnish against corruption Of the
fragrant kind which has been exposed.
1t has been only too clearly shown
that certain Of the men at the head
of these large corporations take but
small note of the ethical distinction
between honesty and dishonesty; they
draw the line only this side Of what
may be called law-honesty, the kind
of honesty necessary in order to avoid
falling into the clutches of the law.
