Denatured Alcohol.
Il 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. hat is, to provide for the
withdrawal free of tax of alcohol
which is to be denatured for those pur-
poses. The law of JUNE Z, 1906, and its
amendment of March 2, 1907, accom-
plished what was desired in that re.
spect. and the use of denatured alco-
hol, as intended, Is making a fair de-
gree Of progress and Is entitled to
further encouragement and support
from the Congress.

Indian Service.
ut has been my purpose from the
beginning of my administration to take
the Indian service completely out Of
the atmosphere of political activity,
and there has been steady progress
toward that end. The asst remaining
stronghold of politics in that service
was the agency system, which a seen
its best days apd was gradually falling
to pieces from natural or purely evolu-
tionary causes, but, like all such sur
vivals, was decaying slowly in it's later
stages.
Postal Banks.
Il again renew my recommendation
for postal savings banks, for depositing
savings with the security OF the gov
eminent behind them. The object Is
to encourage thrift and economy in the
wage-earner and person of moderate
means. In fourteen States the deposits
in savings banks, as reported to the
comptroller of the currency, amount
to SO, 500, 245, 402, or 1874 per cent. Of the
entire deposits, while In the remaining
thirty-two States there are only $40,
30S, 543, or 1.6 per cent, showing con-
clusively that there are many localities
in the United States where sufficient
opportunity is not given to the people
to deposit their savings.

Foreign Affairs.
"This nations foreign policy is based
on the theory that right must be done
between nations precisely as between
individuals, and in u actions for the
last ten years we have in this matter
proven our faith by our deeds. We
have behaved, and are behaving,
towards other nations, as in private
life an honorable man would behave
towards his fellows.
The Army.
CAS- regards the army. I call atten-
ton TO the fact that while our junior
officers and enlisted men stand very
high, the present system of promotion
by seniority results in bringing into
the higher grades many men of medi-
OGRE capacity who have but a short
time to serve.
The scope of retiring boards should
be extended SO hat they could con-
slider general unfitness to for
any couse, in order to secure a far more
rigid enforcement than at present in
the elimination of officers for mental.
physical or temperamental disabilities.
But this plan is recommended only if
the Congress does not see fit to provide
what in my judgment is far better:
that is, for selection in promotion, and
Tor elimination for age.
National Guard.
Now that the organized militia. the
national guard, has been Incorporated
