SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS.
Cordial Relations With Latin Amer
ica Much to Be Desired.

The commercial and material ,prog-
ress Of the twenty Latin American re-
publics IS worthy Of the careful atten-
ton Of the congress. No other. section
OF the world has shown greater pro-
portionate development Of Its foreign
trade during the last ten years, and
none other has more special claims on
the interest Of the United States. Ii
offers today probably larger opportuni-
ties for the legitimate expansion Of our
I commerce on an erce than any other group OF
countries. Lr These countries viii want
our products In greatly increased auan-
titles, and we shall correspond dinghy
need theirs. The international bureau
OF the American republics Is doing
useful work in making these nations
and their resources better. known to-
us us and in acquainting them not only
with rs as people and with our pur-
poses toward them, but with what We
have to exchange for their goods. Ii
is an international institution support

GUARDING OUR HEALTH.
Dangers From Food Adulteration
and Other Sources Preventable.

ssAkus 5UtACA 6UHICCS 51ICvGutdUlCst5$ t5$
The dangers to public health from
food adulteration and from many
other sources, such as the menace to
the physical, mental and moral devel-
opment Of children from child labor,
should be met and overcome. There
are numerous diseases which are now
known to be preYentable which are
nevertheless not prevented. The re-
cent international congress on tuber-
culosis has made us painfully aware
of the inadequacy of American public
health legislation. This nation can
not afford to lag behind in the world
wide battle now being waged by all
civilized people with the microscopic
foes of mankind, nor ought we longer
to ignore the reproach that this gov.
ernment takes more pains to protect
the lives Of hogs and Of cattle than
Of human beings. The first legisla-
tive step to be taken lis that for the
concentration Of the proper bureaus
into one Of the existing departments.
| therefore urgently recommend the
passage of bill which shall author
ize a redistribution Of the bureaus
which shall best accomplish this end.
Government Printing Office. III
] recommend that legislation be en-.
acted placing under the jurisdiction OF
the department Of commerce and la
Dor the government printing Office. At
present this Office is under the COM
bined control, supervision and admin
istrative direction of the president
and Of the joint committee on printing
OF the two houses of the congress. The
advantage Of having the 4,O69 en-
ployees in this Office and the expendi-
ture Of the $5,761, ,s77.57 appropriated
therefor supervised by an executive
department Lis obvious instead Of the
present combined supervision. n
Soldiers Homes.
All soldiers homes should be placed
under the complete jurisdiction and
control Of the war department.
independent Bureaus and Commissions
Economy and sound business policy
require that all existing independent
bureaus and commissions should be
placed under the jurisdiction OF appro-
pirate executive departments. 1t is
unwise from every standpoint and re-
suits only In mischief to have any
executive work done save by the pure
" executive bodies under the control
OF the president, and each such execu.
tive body should be under the immedi-
ate supervision Of a cabinet minister.
Statehood.
4 advocate the Immediate admission
OF New Mexico and Arizona as states.
This should be done at the present ses-
sion Of the congress. The people of
the two territories have made ii evi-
dent By their votes that they win not
come In as one state. The only alter
native Is to admit them as two, and Il
trust that this WIN be done without
delay.

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
Steady Progress Toward Removing
Service From Politics.

It has been my purpose from the be-
ginning of my administration to take
the Indian service completely out Of
the atmosphere Of political activity,
and there has been steady progress to-.
ward that end. The last remaining
stronghold Of politics in that service
was the agency system, which had
seen its best days and was gradually
falling to pieces from natural or pure
" evolutionary causes, but, like all
such survivals, was decaying slowly
In its later stages. 1t seems clear that
Its extinction had better be made final
now, so that the ground can be cleared
for larger constructive work on behalf
of the Indians preparatory to their In
ductton into the full measure OF re-.
sponsible citizenship. On Nov. only
eighteen agencies were left on the
roster. With two exceptions, where
some legal questions seemed to stand
temporarily in the way, these have
been changed to superintendencies and
their heads brought into the classified
civil service.
Is Secret Service.
Last year an amendment was incor-
porated in the measure providing for
the secret service which provided that
there should be no detail from the se-
cret service and no transfer therefrom.
II is not too much to say that this
amendment has been Of benefit only,
and could be Of benefit only, to the
criminal classes. IL deliberately In
troduced for the purpose of diminish
ing the effectiveness of war against
crime 1t could not have been better de-
vised to this end. It forbade the prac-
tees that had been followed to d
greater or less extent by the executive
heads Of various departments for twen-
~ years. To these practices we owe
the securing Of the evidence which en-
abled us to drive great lotteries ont OF
business and secure a quarter OF a
million Of dollars In fines from their
promoters. These practices have en-
abled us to discover some of the most
outrageous frauds In connection with
the theft Of government land and
government timber by great corpora
tons and by individuals. These prac-
tices have enabled us to get some Of
the evidence Indispensable In order to
secure the conviction Of the wealthiest
and most formidable criminals with
whom the government has to deal,
both those operating In violation Of
the antitrust law and others. Tbs

eral development and to assimilate and
use the central facts about onr
streams. y s s 8E
Until the work of river improvement
Is undertaken In modern way it cam
not have results that Will meet the
needs Of this modern nation. These
needs should be met without further
dilly -dallying or delay. The plan which
promises the best and quickest results
Is that Of permanent commission au-
thorized to coordinate the work Of all
the government departments relating
to waterways and to frame and super,
wise the execution OF a comprehensive
plan. Under such commission the
actual work of construction might be
tntrusted to the reclamation service or,
to the military engineers acting with
o sufficient numle,r of civilians to con-
tinue the work in time Of war, or it
might be divided between the reclama-
ton service and the corps Of engineers.
Funds should be provided from cur
rent revenues If it is deemed wise,
otherwise from the sale Of bonds. The
essential thing is that the work should
go forward under the best possible
plan and with the least possible delay.
We should have a new type Of work
and new organization for planning
and directing it. The time for playing
with our waterways Is past. The coun-
try demands results. q
81 National Parks. j
I urge that all our national parks ad-
jacent to national forests be placed
completely under the control Of the
forest service Of the agricultural de-
partment, instead OF leaving them, as
they are now, under the interior de-
partment and policed By the army.
The congress should provide for su-
perintendents with adequate corps Of
first class civilian scouts or rangers
and, further, place the road construc-
ton under the superintendent instead
Of leaving it with the war department.
Such change in park management
would result in economy and avoid the
difficulties of administration which
now arise from having the RESPONSE
bility of care and protection divided
between different departments. The
need for this course Is peculiarly great
in tue Yellowstone park This, like the
Yosemite, is great wonderland and
should be kept as a national play
ground. In both all wild things should
be protected and the scenery kept
wholly unmarried. q
] am happy to say that I have been
able to set aside In various parts of
the country small, well chosen tracts
Of ground to serve as sanctuaries and
nurseries for wild creatures. b..
Denatured Alcohol.
I had occasion in my message of
May 4, 1906, to urge the passage of
some law putting alcohol used in the
arts, industries and manufactures upon
the free list-that is, to provide for the
withdrawal free Of tax OF alcohol
which is to be denatured for those
purposes. The law OF June 6, 1905,
and its amendment Of March q 1907,
accomplished what was desired In that
respect and the use Of denatured al
cohOl as Intended is making a fair de-
gree Of progress and is entitled to fur
ther ouragement and support from
the congress. ,gs55e1asJ5 /.

A motion was made for q new trial In

on conviction of giving bribe
The motion was made BEFORE jugs
Samuel L. Weaver. who was the pre-

Siegel was convicted during the week
Of giving a brIbe to Louis r. Dean, a
deputy sheriff for the purpose OF pro-
lection against arrest for gaming. The
trial was one Of the court events OF the
week, ana the jury convicted Stesel,
who was taken into custody and placed
in fail. The law imposes a minimum
sentence of two years and a maximum
OF ten years. It is said to be one Of the
hrst cases in the history of Alabama
jurisprudence in which a man was con-
victed for giving q bride TO an offieer
and considerable law is involved In the
case.
throughout the trial the attorneys
for siegel tried to convey the idea To
the Jury that the ofhcer taking the
bride was as guilty as the man who
gave It, although the State tried to
make IL clear that the officer was act
