The Presidents Message
A Notable Paper

Yesterday President Roosevelt
sent to Congress special message.
One of the strongest paper; ever
written by him.
Following are some Of the strik'
ing points of the message.
Calls for an employers liability
act that will stand the constitu.
tional test.
Government employees hurt in
service shonld be provided for.
Unwise to abolish the use of in.
junction, but the power should be
cautiously used.
Ask increased power for Inter
state Commerce Commission, so
that bond issues may be regulated,
rates enforced and other reforms
instituted.
Again asks for amendments to
the Sherman anti trust law.
Gross forms of gambling in
stocks aud commodities should be
prevented by law, just as lotteries
arc outlawed.
Accuses Standard Oil Company
of making untruthful statements,
through paid agencies and of en-
deavoring to discredit those who
honestly administered the law.
Cites instances to show Govern
ment Furnishes heads Of illegal
combinations by Imprisonment
when possible to do SO.
Administration is not to be
stopped in its purpose to prevent
illegal combinations because its
action ''hurts business" and
Injuries innocent stockholders. "
Honest American business men
are tired of practices which make
the name high finance" a term OF
scandal.
Spirit of reformation must live
until it sinks deep into the hearts
and conscience Of the whole people.
National and State governments
must each do their part in the fight
for honest business methods.
If to cut out rottcnneSs from the
body polite means a temporary
check to unhealthy seeming pros
perity, the knife must go into the
corruption, anyway.
