THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

This afternoon and tomorrow morn.
ing millions of people will read at least
a part OF President Roosevelt's mes
sage to the Fifty-nlnth Congress do.
Iivered in Washington to-day The
salient points of the message are what
the President says on corporations,
with especial recommendations for
railroad rate Legislation; his words on
the Insurance question and his slight
reference to the tariff. These are civ.
en- in full in to-day's issue of the West
Virginian. Our readers will get to
see what the President has to say
many hours before those who wait fer
the morning papers from Wheeling
and Plttsburg. The President doesn't
mlnce words as to his Ideas on what the
government should do in the matter
Of regulating the operations Of tile
great corporations. He recommends
that Il system Of examinations into the
accounts of railroads should be pro-
Sided similar to the bank examiners
province with the national banks OF
the country. He says ifrcilroads mako
special rate to any large shipper that
vate ought to be fixed by a commission
as the maximum rate to be charged by
the read. That would eFectually check
the special privilege rate. He also
cries out against the free pass evil. One
interesting recommendation made is
that Oklahoma and Indian Territory
be admitted as one State and Arizona
and New Mexico Jointly as another.
The message consists Of Sc pages In
book form and is exceedingly intesest-
ing rom start to finish.
