MESSAGE WILL Be
AN EP0CHAL PAPER
President Roosevelt Now Work
ing on Elaborate State
Communication.
Times-Dispatch Bureau.
Munsey Building

WASHINGTON. d. c., September A.
President Roosevelt is understood to
have almost completed the message
which he will send to Congress when
lit convenes in December. lie will have
put the finishing touches on 1t when he
leaves oyster Bay for Washington on
the goth of September.
! While It has been constantly re-
/ ported from Oyster Bay that the
| President was having perfect rest,
lit is learned that he has been putting
| in most of his time working on the
message 1t is to be longer than
any he has ever sent TO Congress,
which means that 1t will be much
longer than any ever sent in by any
President, since Mr.. Roosevelt has al
lready sent to Congress the longest that
body has received from Chief Elk
| ecutive. 1t is learned that the Presi-
dent began last spring tho work of
| having collected data for the message.
| and his vacation has been largely
spent in digesting this matter and
incorporating salient features and de-
| ductions in the message. 1t is an
lticipated that 1t Will be much more
than recommendations for legislation
lat the coming session. 1t Is under
stood that the message Will outline
| the policy of the party for years to
come /.
This will be the last message which
President Roosevelt will send to Con-
gress at the beginning of long ses-
i sion and consequently his last OPP
/ portunity to undertake such an amb-
tious task as the one outlined assum-
ing that he will not be candidate
again All attempts to outline the
character of the message, even In the
most general turms, would be the
merest speculation.

CHANGE IN FOOTBALL RULES.

he football committees in charge OF the in
- ter-collegiate game, have decided that con-
tests on the gridiron this year shall consist Of
two halves Of thirty-hve minutes each. This de-
cison has been reached because of complaints,
after the end Of last years season, of the short
ness Of the games. Thirty minutes halves proved
unsatisfactory and an additional five minutes has
been tackled upon each half. Years ago the halves
were forty-fve minutes each, which in those days
was not considered too long
No provision, however, has been made to pre-
vent ties. 1t was suggested that when time was
up play should continue for reasonable period
in the effort to break the tie, as is done in base
ball. This change will likely be made in the not
distant future if there should be many undecided
contests during the coming season.
II is also probable that the forward pass, which
proved SO exciting and attractive to the specta-
tors, will be developed still further this year
Some objection to the innovation was made by
the old-time footballers, but the forward pass
plays proved remarkably entertaining to the
spectators, and the spectators should be consid-
cred as well as the players. The approaching
season should be delightful one for the lovers
OF the. sport Much OF the roughness has been
eliminated The more open play is far superior
to the old-time rushing game that was monoto-
nous and dangerous.

AFTER BOSTON MACHINE.

THE Democratic machine of Boston, which
a has ruled that city for many years, is in
trouble, and there promises to be am unearthing
Of transactions that will result in convictions of
the offenders accused. Boston has so long been
held up as a model in many respects that it is
surprising to hear Of ll-doing in the Hub but the
graft germ penetrates all cities 1t seems to be
part of human nature when that nature touches
politics.
Several Boston officials have been indicted.
The indictments were secured by the activity
OF Mr. Moran, the district attorney, who was
elected as an Independent, although a Democrat.
Moran, it will be remembered ran on "his own
hook for the office, and surprised the political
leaders of both parties by polling an overwhelm-
ing vote and winning the election During the
campaign he was regarded as a freak" No one
expected his election. Not much has been heard
OF him lately, but he has waged an incessant war
against the machine, and his persistence has re-
suited in the indictments For long time the
ring was enabled to prevent indictments, and it
looked as though the hand of Moran was stayed,
but his energy has brought the desired end

TELEGRAPH1c CONTROL.

JUDGING from the enthusiasm of the tele-
graph strikers and the support the men are
receiving it looks as though the strike is far from
ended. Mrs Rose Pastor Stokes, powerful
worker among the settlements in New York, has
espoused the cause of the operators and is bring
ing them strong support.
President Small asserts that one result of the
strike will be that government control of the tele-
graph companies will be an issue in the next
campaign. The companies may find that the dis
turbance will bring upon them more trouble than
they have expected
The government control of the telegraph sys-
TENS has many reasons to commend it, and in
convenience to the business public caused by
Gripping of the service will surely spread the
idea Of government control.

A TRIUMPH ZOE MRS. EDDY.

A TRIUMPH for Christian Scientists and
vindication Of Mrs. Eddy was the sudden
and dramatic withdrawal of the suit started by
her next friends to determine her competency
10 administer her own affairs. The dismissal of
the action should set at rest the many and varied
stories that have been circulating regarding the
condition of the founder Of the sect
The remarkable interview OF the examining
committee with Mrs Eddy no doubt was the de-
termining influence in ending the action The
Vigor OF the woman Of venerable age made deep
impress upon the examiners and caused the next
friends to believe that it would be useless to try
to take from her the management of her own
business
The decision Of the judge enunciated anew the
principle that the soundness or the unsoundness
OF the views of any religious sect shall not be
subject to decisions by the courts.

SIMPLY to compel the combines of capital to do
business in accordance with the laws OF the coun-

President Roosevelt conducts the campaign along

ROOSEVELT AM TAFT.

a N OHIO congressman declares that Roose-
welt must be nominated again for Presi-
dent, and adds that Taft would not have the
strength behind him that would rally to the sup
port of the President While there is a stirring
sentiment for the President, it is very doubtful
whether, under any conditions, he would be
candidate again for another term.
One of the objections urged by the congress
man against the Secretary of War is that the coll
ored voters would be against Taft because of the
Brownsville affair. But if they would oppose
Taft, why would they not oppose the President,
who was responsible for the administrations ac-
ton in the matter Foraker tried to arouse preiu-
dice against the President among the colored
voters because of the incident, but Foraker as
against Taft has conducted losing battle in
Ohio. The negro voters, if they know what is
good for them, will not follow in the wake Of
Foraker They don't want to be on the losing
side
