THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents recent special
message has caused some excitement
Roosevelt Is himself again" some
say: "a red-hot shot into the enc
mics camp" says others.
Chancellor Day Of syracuse Uni
yersIty. says: "Of the Presidents
message, If am entirely honest and
frank, am compelled to say that
much OF It reads like the rawlings Of a
disordered mind, and other portions
in which appeal is made to class pre-

There is no qucstion'in the minds
OF close observers that the message
is a retaliatory measure. The stand

senate and the congress, supported
by outside leaders, have looked
askance at the Presidents methods
and actions in the past few years,

party, and they have left no stone
unturned to wrost from him the scep-
ter as leader and dictator, They
have FLASHED and invariably the
President has won, Slyly and sure
ly they have planned to dethrone
him, to annual his influence to check
his popularity. This last message
of Theodoro's Is but another bomb.

Eleven thousand six hundred and
sixty people make their homes in

statement Of tho John T. Worley III
roctory company Of Dallas, whose
Amarillo directory for 1905 was
published this afternoon c, H.,
stanton, manager for the company,
arrived In Amarillo this afternoon
and presented the first copy of the
book to the Daily Panhandle
Prodigious Strides.
"Prodiglous strides" is the way
the publishers express their opinion
OF tho growth OF Amarillo since the
first directory was prepared in De-
ccmbcr 1906, In predatory notice
which the publishers make, they so
on to say that they take pleasure
in tcsufyng to the progressive spirit
of this splendid city. The year
which has elapsed since our last pub
lication has witnessed prodigious
strides forward The population has
grown from S,567 IN 1906 to H.
$50 in 1907. an increase OF 80 per
cent 10 twelve months, The zeal and
determination to make Amarillo the
Queen City Of the Panhandle in fact
as well as in name Is more noticeable
than etcr before. We take occasion
to thank the business men Of ANA
rillo for their uniform courtesy to
us all through our work, Their pat
ronage and financial support has met
our every expectation, on our part
We have spared no effort to make
this book first class in every partic-
usr, and trust our effort will re-
ceiyo the same commentator as was
accorded our initial directory"
Book Is Larger.
The new directory has the same
stout royal blue buchram board COW
ers with silver stamped lettering
that the old book has and the work
manship is such that the book will
stand without losing rs pages the
rough treatment accorded direc-
tory Inside the body of the book
Is Of a tough white enamoled pa
per with the names printed in black
and with the usual marginal and sec
Nonal advertisements printed in blue
The complete street directory which
added much to the usefulness of the
old volume Is much larger IN the
new book and gives every house in
Amarlllq in order according to
streets NTH the name of the resi-
dent or proprietor The book in
rludes complete directory Of all
state and county officers in the
State, OF all local Officers, churches,
orders, organizations, and clubs,
with their officers, places and dates
Of meeting. In all the main body
Of the volume contains 31i pages
making total gain Of 6S pages over
the last year. shook,
Pictures of Buildings.
AZ the front of the volume are
four pages Of fine half tones on
tinted paper of the Bivins and Boyce
residences, the Amarillo hotel, the
Potter county courthouse, the opera
house, a street scene, the new home
for Elks and the Methodist church.
In making up the directory the
CENSUS takers took care to avoid
trlfling mistakes which got into the
first volume and the present volume
Is for that reason more accurate. Tho
names OF children under sixteen and
Of married women, not widows, are
not given in the directory, but the
ngmher OF these was taken and these
figure in the total Of the popula-
ton.
