A rift of involuntary humor broke
through the solemn paragraphs Of Pres
ident Rooseyelt's last message to Con-
gress. These measures" he ingenu.
ously confessed, 'do not represent by
any means all that would like to see
done If | thought it possible" The
admission was ridiculously unneces-
sary. Nobody would expect one mes
sage TO compass the whole range Of bis
desires.
1t is entirely characteristic of Mr.
Roosevelt that he should go out of his
way 10 tell Congress that there are
If he could count on Senators and Rep
resentatives sitting patiently to hear
all he has on his mind. He really has
a consuming desire to be personally as
ISOLATED with every possible reform to
ward which legislation may be direct
ed. This was the ani1nating cause for
his addressing Congress with recon-
mendations that constitute in large
part a thrice-told tale. He wants an
ineffaceable Roosevelt stamp on every
proposition any large number OF peo-
pie may consider a good thing.
This development of menta1 greedi-
ness began very early in Roosevelt's
presidential career and has been the
direct cause of his complete undoing in
so far as the scope of his influence with
Congress is concerned. Few of the

Presidents who have preceded him have
been as completely without influence In
shaping legislation. Indeed, there was
never another instance of either house
suspending the reading of presiden-
tial message and adjourning over with
out finishing the document.
Everybody but the President himself
realizes that he would strengthen his
influence UNNECESSARILY and far more
certainly associate his name with legis-
lative action if he would restrict his at
tention to a few important measures
and leave the legislative branch Of the
government opportunity to make occa-
sional discoveries on its own account.
There is no chance of this wisdom pen
etrating his consciousness, however. To
the end of his administration the food
of recommendations will continue to
pour over the Capitol. Congress would
not even be startled if he should for
mally communicate his personal APP
prevail Of the moral principles embed
ded in the Ten Commandments and
demand re-enactment of the Decalogue.

CHANGING lie STARS on OLD GLORY"


Gals intrusted with the work of re-
arranging The flag, but 1t has not been
thought expedient to adopt the idea
without appeal to Congress and through
Congress to the nation, for it is felt
that such an Important matter as the re-
designing Of Old Glory is matter Of
full national consideration.
Far-seeing citizens have pointed out
that in time the addition of new States
and the unavoidable division of single
States into double or treble common
wealths viii SO crowd the field of stars
as at present arranged that 1t will look
inartistic and unsatisfactory. The
greater the number of stars the smaller
will be the symbols, for the COMPARE
tive size of the field cannot be changed
without spelling the flag and destroy
ing the appearance of the finest banner
on earth or sea- This problem is being
discussed by patriotic persons who take
an interest In national matters, and a
number of designs are on file at the
war Office that aim to provide an ar
tistic and striking arrangement Of stars
that, like that suggested by the circular
array, will permit of the addition Of a
great number of consultations without
making the flag look at little distance
like striped banner with jack of

selash Tarin Reform.

The American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association, mostly Republicans,
have at their late meeting in New York
again urged Congress to pass bill for
free wood pulp and free print paper.
Uncle Joe and the Republican mana
gers in Congress seem very loath to
take notice of the matter. In fact, ii
is reported they decline to undertake
any tariff legislation until "after cleo
ton" The Republican publishers can
hardly blame the Republican politi-
clans. Their demand for free pulp and
paper is a very selfish demand; for
they do not ask Congress fer relief
from the ubiquitous tariff on anything
but paper and pulp, but appear to be
willing to see every one else plundered
but themselv,s.
Now, with the publishers or Demo
Cratic newspapers the demand for tar
If reform Is more consistent. They not
only ask for the tariff ON paper to be
removed, but also, unlike the Republi-
can publishers. want the tariff tax on
nearly everything else reduced or abol-
ished. That is, they are anxious to see
everyone get fair share of the tariff
reduction, and although very natural
lv. they ask that their own business be
freed from the plundering Of rapa-
cious trust. they do not stop at that,
but ask for tariff reform on al arti-
