the President. Not so. His lips are
sealed on those topics.
Senators, too, are trooping across the
White House portals this week on leg
islative errands. There is no one-man
power at their end of the Capitol, but
a number of leaders who by common
consent rather than by formal election,
are looked up to because of their abil-
fly and experience. The President likes
to chat with them. He goes over nomi-
nations and matters of legislation, but
there is not the close cooperation be-
tween the Senate and the President that
exists between the President and the
House. or. what is the same thing.
Speaker Cannon. The spirit of the
Senate is more independent. 1t cries
out against executive interference. 1t
adhereS to the idea of the Constitution
that the legislative department of the
Government should not be constantly
touching heads with the Executive de-
partment. That was part of the fight
over the railroad-rate bill. The Senate
has executive as well as legislative
functions, for when the President ap-
points officers the Senate must confirm
them. That is one reason why the
Senate is so powerful in the scheme of
Government, and why the President has
to be more careful in dealing with its
members than in dealing with members
of the House. A members visit to the
House, unless he be one of the leaders
usually attracts but little local at
tention. Outside of those who are rec
ogniZed as men of average ability, the
visits of Senators to the President are
considered of Importance.

over the country. Before 1 p. m. the
papers will be on the street and in the
hands of readers. Long before the
reading clerks in Senate and House
have completed the reading the Mes
sage will be in possession of those who
have the price of an early afternoon
edition.
The President is talking much less
than usual with Congressman about the
recomm ndations in his Message. That
is because it has been completed. Every
Senate and House leader, not including
the Democrats, will have a chance to
read 1t this week, provided he has not
done SO already and chooses to call at
the White House. The President makes
a point of springing no surprises upon
them in such matters. The first proofs
of the document We're cut up weeks
ago, and particular portions sent out to
Chairmen of important Congressional
committees that deal with the topic in
question. For instance, comments and
recommendations on foreign relations
went out to Senator Cullom, Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations.
the paragraphs on the Isthmian Canal
to Chairman Millard, of the Committee
on 1nteroceanic Canal; the paragraphs
on Philippines to Senator Lodge, Chair
man of the Philippines Committee. and
so on. The dispatch of these portions
of the Message constituted an invita-
ton to the recipients to make sugges-
tions. and the visits of Senators to the
White House from time to time before
the President started away to Panama
were in reality for conference about the
Message, altho none of the visitors so
indicated.
1t is believed that the President has
anticipated in his public addresses of
the Summer and Autumn nearly all the
important things he will have in his
Annual Message. That, however, has
served only to whet the interest about
his formal words to Congress. 1t win
not only be a readable Message from
the literary standpoint-as all his COM
munications are-but the extent to
which the President goes in discussing
the reduction of swollen fortunes. for
instance, will be watched with the keen
est interest, for its significance upon
view of the Cuban events of the last
three months will make one of the
most important features of the docu-
ment. He will be expected to review
the progress of his law officers in bust
ing mighty trusts. That, too, will be
q paramount theme in the Message.
Since he became President Mr..
Roosevelt has almost invariably had a
surprise or two for the country in his
Annual Message. 1t would be well to
look out for something of the kind
next week. He enjoys springing sur
prises, for the topic then receives more
attention in the newspapers and from
the public. One mans guess is as good
as another's as to what surprise may be
coming this year of grace.

venes.

The talk about the Presidents Mes
sage is not as prevalent this week as II
often is just prior to a session of Con-
gress. The all-important document is
complete. Only the President and a
few officials he has taken into his con-
fidence know its contents. The neatly
typewriter copies, one for the Senate
and one for the House, We're ready
many days ago against next Monday or
next Tuesday, as the case may be when
the Congress is ready to receive them.
Typewriter messages from the Presi-
dent now lead to no comment at the
Capitol. In December 1901, they made
a ripple of surprise. From the days
when George Washington sent his An
nual Message to the first session of the
first Congress, the messages had been
sent in legible script. A force of skilled
penmen were kept at work for DAYS
copying the manuscript in attractive
characters.
Roosevelt dispensed with the skilled
penmen. He put the corrected manu-
script of his Message out to half &
dozen expert typewriters in the Execu-
tive offices. There was a clatter and &
| rattle, and in few hours the clear
copy was put down upon his desk. II,

His presentation is invaluable as com

Mrs. Pinlham claims that there is a
kind OF dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement. Of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance sinilar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has q peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof Of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.

Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and In a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and IN
FIVE weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has

fed endorsement or has such a record
