The Congress.

The sixtieth Congress convened on Mon
day last The Presidents message was
sent in on Tuesday and is voluminous
document, written in true Rooseveltian
style, and ringing from bottom to top with
the idea of more power for the federal
government. This has been the key note
of all the utterances of Mr.. Roosevelt for
some time, and he seems determined to
impress them uoonthc American people.
The Democratic party and a great many Re-
publicans regard this as a dangerous politi-
cal heresy, and we do not believe the
country can ever be brought to adopt Or
even favor these radical ideas, so foreign
to the very genious of our constitution.

MURDERED IN
 GOLD BLOOD
San Francisco Policeman
 Killed By Striker
Browning Crime of Labor Day Festivities in the Coast Metropolis.

San Francisco. Sept. 3.-Labor Union violence added one more vic tim to the list at an early hour this morning, when Policeman Edward w. Mccartney was shot and killed at 24th and Folsom streets. while engaged in quelling an incipient riot. John J. Tansey. a striking motorman. is un- der arrest for the murder and has been identified as McCartney's slayer by Policeman P. J. Mitchell into whose arms the dying officer fell. Mitchelrs account of the crime follows:
 At 1:3O a. m. a crowd -of union men and street car strikers and sympathiZ- CTS. who had been winding up the eel ebration of labor day in the neighbor- ing saloons, were melted to riot by Tansey and companion. whom the police have not yet captured. Tansey has been doing union picket duty since the strike was declared against the United Railroads last May. officers Mccartney and Mitchell dispersed the crowd. A few minutes later. as they stood together on street corner. Tansey and his companion reappeared. They mean trouble said Mitchell, to Mccartney. The words had scarcely left his lips when Tansey pulled a pis- tol from his pocket and fired point blank at them. Mccartney fell dying into Mitchells arms. A second time Tansey fired. but the bullet went wild. Mitchell laid the dead officer on the sidewalk and gave chase, but the strikers escaped. Tansey was later ar rested at his lodgings. He denied his guilt.
