Mrs. Sloane testified that her
boy was subject to uncomfortable
impulse, as shown by his furious
riding CT a bicycle. She tried 10
have him write letters to his
father, but he would not learn to
read, write or spell well enough
to compose a letter. He was sub

schemes. Concerning his belief
that his grandfather would supply

The operation of the interstate
commerce law is cited as refuta-

and that it did not go far enough
on the other. Greatly Increased

eminent ownership and socialistic
principles.
The president holds that the
government should not conduct the
business of the nation, but that it

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The National
Industrial association was address
ed today by ]. w. Van Cleve, presl
dent of the National Association Of
Manufacturers. He pleaded for
fair play on the part Of operator

Hearst, Bryan, Gompers, Schmitz
and Ruef, and said:

vate individuals under royalty sys-
TEN, with government retaining
sufficient control to prevent exces-
sive prices to consumers or unfair
freight rates in transportation OF
product.
Graduated income and graduated
inheritance tax on the theory that
the man of great wealth owes a
peculiar obligation to the state be-
cause he derives special advant-
ages from the mere existence Of
government.
An act specifically providing for
the naturalization of Japanese who
come heer intending to become
American citizens. Recommends
amendments to permit president to
enforce rights of aliens under
treaties. Action shutting Japanese
out of San Francisco schools is de.
nounced as wicked absurdity.
Concerning the prevailing trou-
BILE over Japanese IN schools OF
San Francisco the president says
he will do all in his power on be
half of the Japanese, and all the
| forces of the United States
military and civil, which he may
lawfully use, will be so employed
His remarks are highly laudatory
of the Japanese.
In regard to the application OF
the injunction process to labor
troubles the president urges that
abuse Of the power be provided
against by some such law as he
| advocated last year. Prohibition OF
the use of injunctions altogether
is not favored. Hasty action OF
judges in granting i'll advised re
straining orders is criticised.
The president takes his usua,
strong stand against lynching, de
voting considerable time to discus
sion of the race question in tht
South. He advocates capital pun
ishment by legal process for the
crime of rape.

radically and efficiently with
polygamy.
Encouragement to American
shipping is urged along the lines
laid down in the report submitted
to the last congress.
The president does not press
any particular plan for currency
reform, but argues it's necessity
and calls attention to the scheme
proposed by the secretary of the
treasury and endorsed by bankers
and business men for securing
elasticity Of currency in crop NOV
ing times and other periods when
greater volumes of money are
needed than ordinarily.
Lower tariff or absolute free
trade Is recommended for the
Philippines. American citizen
ship should be conferred on the in
habitants of Porto Rico. Attention
is asked for Alaska's needs and
favorable mention made Of the
Alaska Pacific exposition to
be held at Seattle.
The recent revolution in Cuba
and action Of this country is re-
hearsed and the coming election in
the island set as the mark for end
ing the provisional government I'M
less 1t is shown that the Cubans
are still unable to carry on their
government unaided. The presi-
dent promises a full report later
on his visit to Panama.
The need for amending the laws
governing sealing in the north Is
pointed out in a recital of the
ruthless slaughter Of seals that
has reduced the herd on Pribolof
island from nearly 100000 to less
than 100000. The incident in which
FIVE Japanese poachers were kill
ed last summer is mentioned and
the government will establish a
still more adequate patrol next
season.
Under the head of peace and
righteousness the president makes
a strong plea for honorable peace,
bubt holds that war is justifiable
and imperative when peace can be
obtained only by sacrifice of con-
scientious conviction or of national
welfare.
Along these lines the main
tenance of the navy at its present
standard is urged and additional
trained men requested for the
coast defense departments of the
army.
