Their that base creature who APP
peals and panders to the lowest
instincts and passions In order
to arouse one set OF Americans
against their fellows, or that
other creature, equally base but
no baser, who in a spirit Of
greed, or to accumulate or add
to an already huge fortune,
seeks TO exploit his fellow-Am-
orleans with callous disregard to
their welfare of soul and body.
Concerning lynching he says:
Be il remembered, further
more, that the individuals who,
whether from folly, from evil
temper, from greed for Office, or
in a spirit Of mere base dema-
gogy, indulge in the infamma-
tory and incendiary speeches
and writings which tend to
arouse mobs and TO bring about
lynching. not only thus excite
the mob, but also tend by what
criminolcgists call Suggestion"
greatly to increase the llkeli-
hood of a repetition of the very
crime against which they are
inveighing.
Again he says:
In enacting and enforcing
such legislation as this con-
gress already has to its credit.
we are working ON a coherent
plan, with the steady endeavor
to secure the needed reform by
the joint action of the moderate
men, the plain men who do not
wish anything hysterical or dan
gerous, but who do intend to
deal in resolute common-sense
fashion with the real and great
evils of the present system.
The reactionaries and the vio-
lent extremists show symptoms
of joining hands against us.
Both assert. for instance, that
II logical, we should go TO gov
eminent ownership of railroads
and the like: the reactionaries.
because on such an issue they
think the people would stand
with them, while che extremists
care rather to preach discomfort
and agitation than to achieve
solid results. AS a matter OF
fact, our position is as remote
from that of the Bourbon reac-
tionary as from that Of the i'm
practicable or sinister visionary.
We hold that the government
should not conduct the business
OF the nation but that II should
exercise such supervision as
will insure its being conducted
in the interest of the nation,
Our aim is, so far as may be. to
secure. for all decent, hard
working men, equality OF oppor-
tunity and equality OF burden.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


Every presidents message to the
congress IL well worth reading, as 1t
forecasts more clearly than any
thing else the attitude of his party
during his incumbency toward all
public questions touched upon: II in
dicates the policy of the administra-
ton; focuses attention on matters of
most immediate importance. and
last, but not least, reflects the char
acter of its author himself.
The lengthy message prepared
this time by President Roosevelt for
the fifty-ninth congress is OF more
than usual Importance, because this
administration has taken an entirely
new course in internal affairs, en-
larged the scope of our foreign in
terests, and instituted a number OF
public works, on which the views OF
the chief magistrate are interesting.
The Japanese-San Francisco, en-
broglio. the Cuban question, the ship
subsidy and the inheritance and in
come taxes are the subjects we look
ed forward to with interest.
The message is Rooseveltlan In
style. No time is lost in getting down
to the meat OF the matter; 1t is writ
ten in terse English; It is frank /:
there is nothing of the nations bus
iness too small for executive consid-
eration; It is temperate.
There are no surprises In the
communication. The country was APP
prised weeks ago as to its content
and purport. We were expecting
something little more drastic, per-
haps, about railroads, but are pleas
ed to see how temperate and con-
sistent, yet persistent the president
is on that point, advising congress to
give more time to the test of the law,
but making sure that more power
must be vested in the Interstate
commerce commission. Roosevelt
shows the broadness of his mind and
the clearness of his purpose some
times by stopping in pursuit of spe-
cific object to turn attention to a
wrong being done In that very pur-
suit. He suggests that railroads
should be allowed to combine with
the knowledge and under the direc-
ton of the commission, in order
that they may protect themselves
against the power of monopollstic
shippers.
As usual he places his discussion
Of the Japanese question on a high
plane and declares in the beginning
that nations owe a moral duty as
well as individuals. He then deliv-
ers himself of some sound philoso-
ply that rings true. but will not APP
appeal to San Franciscans. who have
the practical side Of the proposition
so close to them as to obscure that

THE REFORM PRESIDENT.

Between the selfishness of vested
interests and the rawlings of the
demagogue, President Roosevelt in a
high place demonstrates the expert
ence of every honest man. These two
are his Scylla and Charybdis-they
are to him as the devil and the deep,
blue sea. He says: "The triumph of
the mob Is just as evil thing as the
triumph of the plutocracy. "He hates
the "corruptionists," but in the same
measure he despises the preachers
of mere discomfort" Earnestly striv-
ing to unhorse the former he arouses
the other "who seek to excite a vio-
lent class hatred" Roosevelt is hon
est with what Alfred Henry Lewis
calls militant honesty" Some men
shrink from dishonesty The Roose-
welt type goes out to meet it and
give it battle. For this reason he
must speak out against wrong wher-
ever he sees 1t, and when he does he
finds, "The sinister demagogues who
sometimes seek to associate them
selves with those working for a gen.
uine reform" Thus we find him in
his message to congress pointing out
drastic measures of radical reform
and preaching conservatism, striking
blow at corruption and spurning
the demagogue. Roosevelt is a re-
former in every thing, but unlike
many, who would remedy conditions,
the presence OF corruption in a body
does not condemn the whole matter
in his eyes. He is more like a good
surgeon, bent on removing the evil
and giving the good part a chance to
heal over. This marks him a con-
structive, not a destructive reformer
Many good men there are in politics
many more good men than bad. But
there is one in million with the
courage to undertake reforms: not
because they fear the opposition 9t
those they must attack, but because
they fear the yawping pack OF dema-
gogues, who revel in destruction for
distinctions sake.
This disposition Of Roosevelt to dc
things, and do them conservatively
fearless of the protests of those he
hurts, and needless of the demands
of the Missionaries behind, has in
duced him to treat us to an unusual
amount of preaching about plain
moral propositions, and his latest
message TO congress is no exception.
On the question of capital and
labor he says the Missionaries who
are frenzied by demagoguery would
bring about a condition of squalid
anarchy that would lmpel us to turn
to any sort of leader who would In
sure us peace. He calls on the "plain
people who think-the mechanics,
farmers. merchants, workers with
head or hand'-to rally to his sup
port both against selfish interests
and the "prsachers OF mere discon-
tent"
There must be stern refusal

No SOCIALISM HERE.

The royalty system for leasing
coal lands by the government is ad-
vocated by President Roosevelt. This
is not startling. 1t is merely business

tendency toward nor rela on to gov
eminent ownership. He has recalled
from sale all public domains, which

derlaid with coal and minerals.
