International Morality.

On the question Of international
morality Mr.. Roosevelt comes out
strongly, advocating clean dealing be-
tween the nations Of earth and also
strongly advocates international arbi-
tration as a means Of settling all diff
fculties that may arise.
American Shipping.
Let me once again call the atten-
tion Of the Congress to two subjects
concerning which I have frequently
before communicated with them. One
is the question Of developing ,Ameri-
can shipping. I trust that a law EN-
bodylng IN substance the views, or a
major part Of the views, exprests III
the report on this subject laid before
the House at its last session will be
past. | am we'll aware that in former
years Objectionable measures have
been proposed in reference to the en-
couragement Of American shipping;
but it seems to me that the proposed
measure is as nearly unobjectionable
as ary can be.
4ul AVxACy 1bC1Vk1U.
I especially call your attention to
the second subject, the condition of
our currency laws. The national
bank act has ably served great pur-
pose in aiding the enormous business
development of the country; and
within ten years there has been an
increase in circulation per capita
from $21.41 to $33.08. For several
years evidence has been accumulating
that additional legislation is needed.
Our Island Possessions.
It is urged that these shall receive
the careful consideration Of Congress
and that tariffs, ETC., shall be upon a
just basis.
Army and Navy.
The message goes at length into the
matter Of the efficiency of our army
and navy. The President is much
gratifed at the progress we are max
ing In both branches Of our common
defense. In the matter Of rife prac
tice the President says:
The Congress has most wisely pro-
vided for a National Board for the
promotion of rifle practice. Excellent
results have already come from this
law, but it does not go far enough.
Our Regular Army is so small that in
any great war we should have to
trust mainly to volunteers; and in
such event these volunteers should
already know how to shoot; for if a
soldier has the fighting edge, and
ability to take care Of himself in the
open his efficiency on the line Of bat
tie is almost directly proportionate
to excellence in Workmanship. We
should establish shooting gallaries ir
the large public and military schools
should maintain national target
ranges in different parts Of the coun-
try, and should in every way encour.

Seators Penrose of Pennsylvania,
and Foraker, Of Ohio, came forward
with resolutions Of inquiry regarding
the discharge Of the negro troops Of
the Twenty-ffth Infantry. One was
addressed to the President and the
other to the Secretary Of War. Vice

was unusual to transact any business
until the Presidents message had
been received and the resolutions
"went over,0 by unanimous consent.
Senator Dupont, Of Delaware, took
the oath of Office.
The opening Of the two Houses
was witnessed by an animated throng,
which filled the galleries to their ca
pacity. Hundreds went away disap-
pointed in not gaining admission to
witness the session Of either Senate
or House.
The following new members Of the
House presented their credentials
and took the prescribed cath of office:

Needed Legislation
A DOCUMENT OF UNUSUAL VIG0R
The Message Goes at Length Into
Questions of Vital Interest to the
Whole People.

The following is the substance OF
the annual message Of President
Roosevelt to Congress, as read in both
houses:
Introductory.
To the Senate and House of Repres-
entatives:
AS a nation we still continue to en-
joy literally unprecedented prosper
ity; and it is probable that only reck
less speculation and disregard Of ligi-
innate business methods on the part
Of the business world can materially
mar this prosperity.
No Congress In our time has done
more good work of Importance than
the present Congress. There were
several matters left unfinished at
your last session, however, which. /
most earnestly hope you will COM
plete before your adjournment.
Corporation Campaign Contributions,
| again recommend law prohib-
ting all corporations from contribut-
ing to the campaign expenses Of any
party. Such a bill has already past
one House Of Congress. Let individ-
uals contribute as they desire; but
let us prohibit in effective fashion all
corporations from making contribu-
tons for any political purpose di-
rsctly or Indirectly.
Government Right to Appeal In
Criminal Cases.
Another bill which has past one
house of the Congtess which it is
urgently necessary should be enacted
INTO law is that comforting upon the
dovernment the right Of appeal in
Smlnal cases on questions Of law

states; it exists in the District Of
