PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelts message was
one OF the most sensational documents
Of It's kind ever sent from the White
House. Many of the Presidents rec
concentrations are radical in the eX-
IRENE. Upon the question of taxation
alone he seems to be uncertain about
his ground. He recommends a grad
uated Inheritance tax, but he lets IL
be understood that the country is not
yet ready for a revision of its system
of taxation. About the tariff he has
nothing whatever to say. The mes.
sage shows Mr.. Roosevelt's immense
personal energy and his ability for
accomplishing things. There never
was n president who allowed himself
to be interested in so many subjects.
Perhaps the best way to apprccialc
what the President is doing and think
ing about is to Summarize the leg
islation urged by him. He recon-
mends that political contributions by
corporations be entirely forbidden;
that our criminal laws be amended SO
that the government will have the
right to appeal on questions of law:
that the setting aside OF verdicts be
arc merely technical and where it is
not shown that the error caused any
prejudice or was responsible for in
justice being done; that the too COM
mon use of the writ OF Injunction be
rclucdied, especially the Use OF The
writ of injunction in labor disputes:
that The crime against wonanhood.
which is the chief cause of lynching,
be always punished by death and
the trial in such cases be conducted
without delay; that the hours of labor
on railways he limited in tho Interest,"
of the public safety as we'll as in the
interest of tho men who work; that
child labor be entirely prohibited
wherever the United States govern
nlcnt has the power: that compulsory
arbitration of labor disputes be pro-
hibited in cases where the public well
fare is involved; that Legislation be
enacted, withdrawing all coal lands
from sale, with ~ view OF preserving
the coal deposits as national property;
that all meat products bear dated Ia
bells and the cost of meat inspection
be borne by the packers; that a con-
stitutional amendment for the national
control of marriage and divorce be
enacted; that Inheritance and income
taxes be eventually made a. part of
our national system of taxation; that
measures be taken 10 provide for
more elastic currency, the asset cur
rency plan being spoken of with ia
vor; that absolute free trade be given
the Philippines; and lastly, but not
least, his remarks upon the Japanese
and their exclusion from the public
schools in San Francisco.
His reference to the Japanese and
the public schools is likely to provoke
more discussion than any other fea-
ture of the message. It has already
thoroughly aroused the people Of Call
ifornia. The delegation from the state
is up i'll arms againGt the President.
Leading Republicans claim that the
Presidents recommendation will cause
California to become "a Democratic

THE LESSON OF A MURDER.

A criminal case that has attracted
a great deal of attention, because of
the publicity given the details, has
just been concluded at Herkimer
N. Y.
A young man, named Chester Gill
lette, has been convicted Of murder
in the first degree. The crime con-
sisted in Turing a girl named Grace
Brown away from her home to soli-
tary place in the Adirondacks and
numbering her to conceal the evidence
of an illicit intimacy.
Such crimes have happened before
and will happen again. 1t would serve
no good purpose 10 even comment
upon the matter were it not for the
fact that it is apparent that many
similar crimes could be prevented if
parents would only exercise reasonable
care and control over their daughters.
The American girl prides herself
rightly upon her independence. She
goes about with practically the same
freedom of her brother. 1t never oc-
ours to her that she differs in this re-
spect from the girls Of other coun-
tries. Independence, sclf-reliance and
the power % look cut for herself are
all commendabe, but it is apparent
that a closer guardianship over their
daughters, by the mothers of the
country, would prevent many such
crimes. In every community there are
Chester Gillettes and, unfortunately,
too, there are Billy" Browns. MUIR
der is only the occasional result. The
most frequent outcome is the blighting
of the life and the killing of the soul
Of girls, whose years and inexper1ence
need the watchful fare and guardian
ship of a. mother. The experience Of
the murdered girl is the experience
of thousands of young women whom
the stress Of modern life forces into
the stores, factories and other pur-
suits. 1t is subject delicate to treat,
and the false modesty that prevents
parents from discussing it with their
children is responsible in a large de-
gree fer thousands Of Billy Browns.
When the large number of girls who
and those who visit the sea shore and
the summer hotels unattended and the
independent young women who carry
their own latch keys are taken into
consideration, the real wonder is that
SO many escape the communicating in
fuence of the tri5e of Chester Gu-
lettes.
1t would not be desirable to destroy
the independence Of the American girl.
The strict guardianship under which
girls in every country of Europe are
held is unnecessary in this country, but
the extreme freedom, the utter disre-
gard Of care, the tntal abandon with
| which girls. still in their teens, mingle
with every class Of men is destructive
to that innocence Of character that is
the highest possession Of womanhood.
Every European who visits America
comments ON this feature Of American
life. We will always have cases like
that of the murdered girl. but the
prominence given The trial of her be-
trayer will not be IN vain If it brings
home to mothers the danger of allow
ing too much freedom to their daugh-
tiers.

BeIgium's Marriage Mart.

Two thousand bachelors from all
parts of Belgium, many from France
and some from Germany swept down
on the village Of Ecaussines-L elaing
recently to find brides.
1t was the fourth yearly marriage
mart. as established by the maids of
Ecaussines, and as there are only nine
ty-seven marriageable young ladies in
that quaint little place the supply Of
matrimonial partners fell deplorably
short Of the demand. All the same,
the proceedings We're great success.
The men began to arrive early in the
morning, but it was toward noon be-
fore train loads of them appeared.
There We're all sorts and conditions of
men. One man of q had travelled all
the way from Luxembourg to find a
wife, to whom he promised dowry
that would place her beyond want.
There were tradesnen, clerks, mecllan-
branch of trade appeared to be un-
les, miners, laborers-indeed, no
represented.
Gay banners of welcome, triunphal
arches with notices of encouragement
for prospective husbands, figures of
Cupid and hearts pierced by arrows
were to be seen everywhere but the
local authorities had not accepted the
young ladies' proposal to name the
main streets place des Fiancailles,"
place Conjugale," and "Place de la
Concordc.
At noon the bachelors were formally
welcomed at the gates Of the village
by the spinster committee. Last years
president and several members Of the
committee are now married as the re-
suit Of the festivities twelve months
ago and others had been elected III
their place.
All marched TO tile "Grande Place.
where there was an open air concert.
The bands played nothing but nuptial
marches and love songs. At the close
an adjournment was made to the town
hall, where the young ladies took their
places at tables OH which stood bowls
of pink roses with such notices as
Hope on Love-" BE Trusting
and Have Faith"
A vacant chair was left beside each
girl, and at a given signal the men
with matrimonial intent made a rush
to secure the seats. Then, coffee and a
sweet cake were served, followed by
a bonbon tasting of licorice. When
this was over the lady president made
a speech on 1.-THE Art Of Pleasing
Man." which was wildly applauded.
Dancing in the open air ended the
program Of the festivities.
Hundreds Of letters. many Of them
very amusing. were received this year
from intending husbands. A railway
official from Paris anxiously inquired
whether in the event Of not finding a
girl to his taste he could refuse to mar
ry and would be allowed to leave
quietly.
Some bachelors from Gilly (France)
explained that they were young, good
looking and earning $50 a month, and
wore anxious to find wives from
Ehussines, where the girls are re-

ESILRDAT'S STOCK MARKET
Prices Move in an Exceedingly Fever
ish and Uncertain Manner.

New York, June 2S.--Prices of stocks
moved in an exceedingly feverish and
uncertain manner to-day. This was
owing clearly to the large extent to
which the short interest had been built
UP in the course of the rapid decline in
prices and the heavy liquidation of the
last few days. The extent to which this
liquidation has gone and the effective
relief thus secured serve to make the
short interest uneasy lest a sudden turn
in the course of the market might be
imminent. The liquidation was contin-
ued in large volume in the early part Of
the day. But the eagerness of the bears
to secure their profits and their precip-
| itate rush to buy for this purpose caus-
ed extensive recoveries in prices. From
the one extreme of the day to the other
the oscillation of prices, therefore, was
violent.
News developments Of immediate
bearing on values were not important
| and the movement Of the market was
| the result of general conditions, as for
some time past. Yesterdays half-de-
moralized selling and unsupported
weakness had the inevitable effect OF
inducing calls upon customers of COM
mission houses for additional margins,
| and commission houses We're reported
as complaining that large proportion
of these requests brought back instruc-,
| tions to sell the stocks and close out the
accounts. Some of the important pools
were supposed also to be further light
ening their loads. Numerous smaller
pools, which were committed to at
tempts to control the market for minor
industrial stocks, We're said to be hay
| ing trouble in realizing on their hold
1 ings, offers of small parcels in some
cases finding absolutely no bid in the
market
! The fact that the most spectacular OPP
erations on the bear side of the market
had ventured to fix definitely to-day as
| the date for panicky outbreak In the
market made the uncovered bears eager
to avail themselves of what was thus
made to appear crisis in the decllnlhg
tendency. This disposition was the
Imore pronounced on account of the fall
ure to appear Of the heralded fulmina-
ton which was to be exploded with dis
astrous effect upon values. Conditions
lin the money market were unchanged,
rates continuing to work closer with
| the approach of the July settlements.
The expected early adjournment OF
congress. which is hoped for by stock
market bulls, was given some credit for
the rallying tendency in the market.
Prices were we'll sustained during the
latter part of the day and some striking
gains were established in the mercurial
speculative favorites. There was a not
able shrinkage in. activity at the higher
level, and the closing tone was slightly
irregular, but near the top.

Berlin. Nov. 1.-THE performance OF

amazement Meanwhile a lot of scenery
began floating about. and alarmed shouts
and suppressed screams were heard in
the wings.
The audience was becoming dangerously
excited when the manager. who was
drenched from head 10 foot. came TO the
front and announced that the food was
abating, but the scenery had been so
damaged that il would be impossible 10
