Hotel Incident In Bar Har'
horys Early DAYS.

Exciting Hotel Incident In Bar Har-
boris Early Days.
'In the prehistoric days at Bar Har-
bor,'' said Boston man, before the
dress suit had cast its blighting shad-
pw there and when Rodicks and the
fish pond were the center OF all the
gayety, life was pleasant, even though
many of the conveniences which we
now demand were wholly lacking. Ro-
dicks was a barn Of a place with no
elevator and innocent Of electric bells.
One man in imminent need Of ice wa
ter once obtained it, however. by going
Into the hall and yelling MurderI at
the top of his lungs He gathered to-
gether most Of the hotel guests and
finally got the ice water of his SOULS
desire, but his success did not seem
to establish precedent.
''The fire department was, so to
speak. In embryo. In the Rodick at
the head of each stairway there used
to stand large hogshead Of water for
use in an emergency, and thereby
hangs the tale am about to tell you.
Late of an evening there entered
the deserted fish pond young man
whose fixed and CLASSY eye and wan
dering smile betrayed what his even
ing's occupation had been. In order
to settle any lingering doubt as to his
condition, however, he proceeded to
emit a series of blood curdling shrieks,
which called forth hasty and en-
phatic protest from the night clerk,
who on advancing upon the inebriat-
ed one was promptly laid low by a
right handler The night force In an
angry array promptly went to the
succor of the night clerk. whereat his
assailant retreated upstairs, closely
followed by his pursuers.
Reaching the landing, he espied the
hogshead of water, which he promptly
heaved down the stairway upon his
opponents, who, drenched by the wa
ter and carried OF their feet by the
butt itself, in a wild state Of rage
renewed the attack, only to be treat
ed to the same dose on the second
flight of stairs and yet again on the
third, at which point, his ammunition
being exhausted, they captured and
got even with the belligerent one.
"In the morning great was the anger
and loud the lamentations Of Herr
Rodick at the state of his stairway and
the damaged condition Of his night
force. but he who had accomplished the
outrage was rich in this worlds goods.

position to HIM Beyond doubt. the
speakers course in the SHORT session
will go far toward determining wheth-
er he will have opposition for re-
election.
Now Up to Cannon.
If Mr.. Cannon shall show disposition
10 acouiesce in those policies which the
progressive wing of the party shall
press in the next four months. 1t will
go far TO mollify the elements of OPP
position to him. 1t is hard to believe
the antiCannon people in the house
viii give up their purpose of getting
the house rules changed. They are
more interested in modification of the
rules than in deposing the speaker.
There is striking and suggestive unan-
unity in the expression of affection
for the speaker. Nobody Is against
Uncle Joe" A good many people are
against the rulings of Speaker Cam
non: and that is all there is to it.
Constructive Work Goes On.
At any rate, whoever shall be speak
er. and whether or not Senator AID
rich shall conclude to retire at the end
of his term from his leadership of
the upper house. ii is the expectation
that general conditions will weigh
heavily in favor OF the constructive
program. President Roosevelt will in
dictate his views in his December mes
sage and President Taft will present
his ideas a year later. The tariff will
meanwhile have been revised and put
out OF the way. The long session be-
ginning In December, 1909, will be the
time for the real test on the policies.
The first long session of an admins
tration is always the most effective one
for legislative accomplishment. 1t is
expected that the Taft administration
will prove no exception.
Mr. Taft is q great jurist as We'll
as practical administrator. He comes
to the presidency peculiarly equipped
to cope with the problems of the times.
Mr.. Roosevelt will have done the work
of stirring the national conscience. OF
making the public view these ques-
tions in the light of morals. 1t will
be for the trained lawyer and skilled
executive to formulate into effective
statutes the proposals for improving
conditions; and no man more than

LAST MESSAGE A RESUME.
President Roosevelt to Finally Group
His Policies

Washington, Nov. s.-President
Roosevelt's last annual message to
congress will be in the nature of
classic-a document that may go down
in history as register of the accom-
pnshments and aims OF the present adj
1ninistration.
At no time during his term of office
has the president given attention 10
the preparation Of a message that he
is devoting to this one.
One of the most striking features
will be the recommendation of an
amendment to the Sherman antitrust
law exempting labor organizations from
its provisions and the passage of an
antitrust law along the lines proposed
last year.
Additional fortifications for the Phil
ippines and for seacoast defense in this
country will be strongly urged.
Congress will be requested to broad
en- the powers Of the interstate COM
merce commission In the supervision of
rates before they become effective. The
difficulties encountered in the adjust
,nent of interstate rates by states haN-
ing railroad commissions have raised
a demand for additional federal leg
islation that the president believes
will meet with hearty support even by
the minority party in congress.
The postal savings bank project will
receive hearty endorsement and an
earnest recommendation that it be
speedily enacted into law.
The great growth of prohibition SEN
timent and the demand of the states
that the federal government meet the
"original package" decision Of the
supreme court will be touched upon.
The president. will also recommend
legislation requiring publicity of cam
paign expenses.
He has not yet indicated whether he
will repeat his previous recommends
ton for the enactment of an Inherit
ance and income tax, but he will press
for a federal incorporation license an!
for the enactment of new employers
liability law.
The president will take advantage of
certain criticism in the last congress
as to the advisability of sending the
pointing out the feeling of international
amity that followed its triumphal
progress.
Statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
IONA will not be neglected. nor will the
demand for the creation of an Appla-
lachan forest reserve. Also his advo-
cacy of the adoption Of policy look
ing to the purchase Of at least one le-
cation site year will be renewed.
The placing of dates upon the labels
of packing house products and the
payment of the cost of inspection by
the packers is another matter to which
he will call attention.
The demand for uniformity in di-
vorce laws will be reiterated, as well
as child labor legislation.
IAltho it is generally understood that
the president will leave to his success
or the treatment of tariff revision, the
desirability of placing wood pnlp upon
the free list will be pointed out.
