The annual message sent from
the president to the opening ses-
sion of Congress, which convened
in Washington, D. c., last Mon
day, was read Tuesday. The
document is of the usual length
as is generally necessary in order
to acquaint the American Con-
gress with things which need
their immediate attention. There
was 10000 words in the message
dealing in a clear and compre'
hensive manner with the current
questions and problems OF the
day. We agree with him in most
of the questions he discussed and
especially do we agree with him
on the position he took. in the
Japan and San Francisco school
question, and the position he
took in condemning lynching IN
this country. 1t is very strong
appeal to law and order and true
manhood. 1t is published else
where and will speak for ITSELF
While we have censured Presl
dent Roosevelt for the treatment
of the colored battalion in Texas
yet we are always willing to com
mend the good he does. If any
man or ruler makes a mistake
thinking he is right, with al
honest intent, we ought to bt
reasonable and broadmlndee
enough to forgive, for man IS no
perfect nor his acts. This is th'
first message that the presiden
has ever mentioned the rac'
problem, and we hope that boti
races will be benefited By wha
he says.

BIE Carcass Out of Date.

Some months ago quartet of cat.
tlemen dining in Chicago hotel drift
ed into discussion OF market topics
Naturally comparison was drawn be-
tween the vaulting prosperity Of the live
mutton trade, the satisfactory condi-
ton of the hog market and the rough
road the cattleman was required to
travel. Picking up the bill OF fare,
one man said This price list Is a par.
tial explanation of the discrimination
against beef A decent steak costs a
dollar, but mutton chops are carded at
40 cents and pork chops a nickel less
The average diner Is actuated by mo-
tives Of economy and orders the cheap
er article. The chop, pork or mutton,
Is enjoying a distinct advantage over
the steak, for the reason that It costs
the eater less. And the farther east
you go the more pronounced you will
find this disposition to eat chops Bos-
ton and New York are the greatest
mutton consuming centers In the
world We must furnish the consumer
with smaller but better finished beef.
In New York not long since every re-
tail butcher | interviewed told me that
the demand in steaks was for thick
cut, but light steak In other words,
the big carcass Is out OF date. Breed
