Ardmoreite Special.
oyster Bay, n. Y. Sept. 2i.-Oys-
ter Bay has just one day more a.
the summer capital of the nation,
and then 1t will again relapse into
oblivion and the deep gloom of OBJ
scurity. Tomorroy the presence to-
ward which, the worlds eyes are
turned will go hence aud oyster Bay
will be wrapped in the dcsolation
of a country village. until another
summer shall have brought the birds
and the flowers and the summer girls
and Theodore oysters best beloved.
The president will go from here
direct to Washington. where he will
consider several executive matters
and get the working force of his OF
flee installed before leaving Sunday
for Canton, where on Monday he will
deliver an address at thek dedica-
ton of the National Mckinley monu-
ment. After leaving Canton, the pres
ident will proceed to Keokuk. Iowa,
and take a steamboat down the Mis-.
sissippi river. Stops will be made at
st. Louis. Cairo, Memphis. Vicksburg
and Nashville The president will
speak in all the cities named. and
his last days In Oyster Bay have
been busily spent in preparing the
seven or eight addresses he is to
make, as well as working on his ad.
dress To congress. II is likely that the
vitality stored up by president dur.
ing his vacation at Sycamore hill
will be soreiy taxed before he re-
turns to Washington.
Although no official announcement
has been made, It is stated on good
authority that the president has prac-
tically completed the main features
of his annual message. II will be
the longest of Mr. Roosevclts mes
sages. which means that II will be
the most voluminous message ever
delivered to an American congress.
The message will be significant, not
alone in the demand for new radical
legislation but also as an announce.
ment of issues for the 1908 campaign.
Recommendation will be made for
strlcter control OF corporations, es-
pecially railroads. Great space will he
occupied In setting forth President
Roosevelt's views on the conservatism
of natural resources, including pub
lie lands and forests and inland wa
terways, now live and vital issues in
the western states. No demand for
immediate tariff revision will he made
although 1t is known that the me
sage will deal at length with va.
rious phases of the tariff question.
The message as now written is, CT
course, subject to revisions. but these
are not likely to alter its radical
tone. An important cabinet confer.
ence is expected to be held In Wash.
ington Friday. when the president

Root will not be consulted a sto the
message.
Whilc the president will make nu.
merous recommendation in his mes.
sage, II is not expected that final
action will he taken by congress on
any very important measures. so that
the mevsbge will in reality be a
campaign document, setting forth the
ISSUES that will play a prominent part
IN the coming campaign.
