passed, is in accordance with the German
and perhaps other presidents, and Brit
ish observers will be generally in sympa-
thy with the soberly determined spirit In
which Mr.. Roosevelt approaches the prob
lem of dealing with abuses Of power of
combined wealth.
Aims to Steer Middle Course.
The Morning Post says: 1.-THE impress
sion given by the message Is that of an
attempt to steer middle course, and the
result is that of pleasing nobody. In par
ticular the radicals are disappointed that
the generalities of earlier messages are
not made more definite, and the conserva-
tives are still distrustful because the
generalities Of earlier messages are no,
withdrawn. They still remain a menace
to the business world
The Daily News says: 1T is impossi-
BILE at present to forecast the effect of the
Presidents policy upon the great cam
paign which will be commenced early
next year for the practical Dictatorship
of America. At first sight there would
here appear to be definite attempt to
outbid the democratic program among
the masses of the electors. Mr.. Roose-
welt has caught the democrats bathing
and stolen their clothes.
No Light on Third Term.
The London Standard says: upon the
one supremely interesting question in
American politics, whether Mr.. Roosevelt
will permit himself to be nominated again
for the presidency, his message throws
no light. II really the President meant
for the administration to solve quarter
;nI, hn bo, icnI
neither a third nor a fourth term would
see its work accomplished
The Daily Express says: Gin the main
the features of the message are the tale
of prosperity under scientific tariff and
censure on socialism and class war, in
which respects 1t Is as pregnant with
meaning for the subjects Of the united
empire as for the citizens of the United
States"
Commonplace Reflections.
The Daily Chronicle says: Here and
there are indications of a powerful mind
at work on the problems of the day, but
much of the address consists of common
place reflections. The most significant
thing is Mr.. Roosevelt's invitation to
Congress to embark on ameliorative So
cial legislation. In the eager race for
wealth in the United States the interests
of the working classes have too often
been disregarded.'
The Daily Graphic says: THE out
standing impression one derives from this
inchoate discussion of the pressing cares
of American state is that the American
people are, as Herbert Spencer pointed
out years ago, living too fast. That's the
moral of the financial crisis, which, of
course, is at the bottom of his emphatic
recommendations for the naturalization

"My Policies. I"
From the New Haven Register.

President Roosevelts seventh message
to the Congress Is somewhat cleverly con-
structed with an apparent intent to con-
vey the impression that 1t advances to no
new ground Its first effect is reassur-
ance. The President has seemingly COM
mitted himself to no new radicalism.
There is elaborate quotation and reitera-
ton of views expressed in the last mes
sage. To a large degree he Stands pat"
There is certainly no retreat. The Presi-
dent stands his ground. 1t may at first
seem that there is no advance. Consider
ing former utterances, considering what
might have been expected and what would
have come but for the Intervention of the
past few weeks events the message is
mild. seemingly harmless, almost con-
servative.

of minerals and protection OF, the agricul-

+. A Vindication Of His Diagnosis.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 4.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says: Pre- sident Roosevelt treats
the crisis as vindication of his own
diagnosis and an argument in favor
of his own remedies. Instead of placing
himself on the defensive against posi-
bic imputations of responsibility fol-
the weakening of public credit, he
boldly adduces what happened as the
best justification of the Roosevelt pol
icy. compiled and presented in an edition
of an Encyclopedia Americana, with spe-
ciai view to the conditions Of presiden-
tial contest
The Evening Standard says the Presl-
dents message has characteristics not
only "statesmanlike,'' but of an election:
eering quality. In its increased length
and its reference to the far future signs
may be seen of an eye carefully fixed on
personal or national contingencies. The
Evening Standard, referring to President
Roosevelt's argument that true defense is
securable only by hard hitting, says tina,
defiance is. in no sense, the purport Of the
message, but Roosevelt, no doubt, has a
possible enemy in his minds eye. and II
is unfortunate that superficial Significance
should be given to his language by the
temporary recall of Aoki. Says the Stand
ard: I'VE are assured that it is purely a
matter of business. Let us hope that the
members of Congress, when they awake
from their doze. will not find a ridiculous
connection between the Japanese bust
ness and the Presidents. That would be
too nightmarish."
Modities His Rampant Virtue.
The Globe in an editorial on President
Roosevelts message says: ut is toler-
ably clear that the President, alarmed at
the effect of his campaign against the
trusts, has found it necessary to modify
the rampant virtue of his attitude. He
has discovered that reckless attack upon
men who. whether honest or dishonest,
control great interests and enormous CAPT.
tai is inevitably accompanied by very
serious wrong to large numbers of per-
fectly innocent people who are nothing
but paWnS in the game
The Globe, commenting upon the strik-
ing omission of any reference to the Jap
anese controversy, says: 1T is unfortu-
nate that President Roosevelt is unable
to give an assurance, mitigating the en-
phasis laid on the need of an increase OF
the navy. the approaching voyage to and
the deficiency of coaling stations and
docks in the Pacific.
1T is doubly unlucky that the discovery
by the Marquis Aoki that his health or
necessities of state require his temporary
return to Toxic should be coincident with
the publication of the. presidential mes
sage. These facts are apt to suggest that
the difficulty between the two nations is
not in SO fair way of permanent read
justment as was hoped. The solution of
the difficult problem will not be helped by
references to an aggressive seagoing
navy and its powers of hard hitting

from the Baltimore Sun.
There is a singular parallel between
the policies advanced in Mr.. Roosevelt's
message and those laid down in the Chi
cago platform of the democratic party
in 1896. upon which Mr.. Bryan was first
nominated. Instead of the free coinage
of silver, Mr.. Roosevelt recommends an
elastic asset paper currency. But the
other important planks Of the Chicago
platform are all in Mr.. Roosevelt's mes
sage. The Chicago platform was OPP
posed to an immediate change In the
tariff. Mr.. Roosevelt wants. tariff action
deferred. The Chicago platform advo-
Gates an income tax, and so does Mr.
Roosevelt. The Chicago platform advo-
Gated legislation for the arbitration Of
labor disputes. So does the President
The Chicago platform favored stricter
federal control Of trusts and railroads
and the enlargement of the power of the
interstate commerce commission. Mr..
Roosevelt makes the same recommends
ton. The Chicago platform objects to
government by injunction. and Mr..
Roosevelt suggests the restriction of the
power of the court to issue restraining
orders; and finally both the platform and
the message advocate the improvement
Of inland waterways In terms Of similar
meaning.

Friendships Garland, but can't be

President Roosevelt. however. is superior
to Arnold. He not only reads his own
writings. but cites them. That Is one rea-
son why his message this year runs to
such portentous length. This has forced
the Evening Post for the first time to cut
down the printing of a presidential mes
sage. It is really kindness to the Presi-
dent: no one who was master of his fate
would have read twenty-five columns; q
few may attack ten columns. 1t Is high
time that some one should copy the
famous motion, and resolve that the
length of presidential messages has in

Cautious, Not Repentant.
From the New York Times.

Being most prudently concerned not to
check the return of public confidence,
and yet being temperamentally incapable
Of taking anything back, President Roose-
welt resorts to the adroit expedient of
copying from former utterances the radi-
cal recommendations of his present mes
sage He evidently believed. and with
good reason, that nobody will be fright
ened now by things said year ago The
plan has worked admirably. Wall street
and the country receive the message as a
conservative and chastened document.
That the President heeds even to this ex-
tent the criticism that has been visited
upon him for his too frequent fashness of
speech is of good augury. Nervous people
have a right to take comfort from this
evidence Of the new temper that possesses
him.

the act of the legislature in limiting. thy
county courts to thirty-hve-cent less

The Presidents message occupies nearly
twenty-eight columns Of the Eagle. He
probably had not time to make it shorter
with reiteration Of Mr.. Roosevelt's felt
duty and strong determination to be not
only President, but Providence to his
country. Much Of that space is filled with
long extract from his message two
years ago. He gives that not for indica-
ton, but for vindication. He has put on
the backs of contemporary readers a load

The Little Father.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
In the course of his message to the first
session of the Sixtieth Congress Presi-
dent Roosevelt makes the following sug-
gestions and recommendations:
How many campaign issues are there
now which Mr., Roosevelt has failed to
appropriate? Mr.. Bryan is left with
hardly more than the initiative and ref
erendum to protect him from the biting
winter winds. Was there ever a more
alert, a more assiduous or a more pro-
life Little Father? In the language of
Mr.. Dooley's friend Hogan, "Nawthin'
human or inhuman Is foreign to him.

Stands Pat.
From the Baltimore News.

The point of prime interest in regard
to the Presidents message Is the ques-
ton whether, under the pressure of re-
cent events. he shows in it any sign of
weakening in his attitude concerning the
policy with which his administration has
been identified or the purposes which he
has hitherto sought to advance. The
brevity with which this question may be
answered is in sharp contrast with the
length Of the message, for the answer
can be stated with almost complete ac-
curacy in the single word NO"

Too Long,

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
We doubt the wisdom Of the President
in submitting to Congress at this time a
message of such extreme length and
covering such multitude of subjects. 1t
is likely to receive less attention from
the public and to have less effect upon
Congress than If 1t were concentrated
upon fewer proposals for action and those
were treated more pointedly.

Old Message.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
While the President in his message to
Congress goes over a wide range OF
topics, public interest will center in what
he has to say regarding the corporations
and the financial situation. AS matter
of fact, he says nothing new. Indeed, his
message, so far as it relates to these
subjects. is largely composed of extracts
from former messages.

Turned on the Light.
From the Philadelphia Press.

President Roosevelt has not altered his
principles and practice one whit in any
alarm over a financial CONFUSION for
which he Is not responsible. No one can
have expected he would. When in sin
gle convincing sentence he repeats hts
previous declaration that THE admins
tration is responsible for turning on the
light, but not for what the light showed, ;"
he comes as near to defense as was meet
in President of the United States who
has but enforced the laws as he was
sworn.
