THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelts last annual
message to the Congress is absolute
ly free from the preaching that has
filed so many Of his previous State
papers. 1t is a plain, straight for
ward statement of facts filled with
highly ,:.important recommendations
for action by the House and Senate.
The policies advocated are most of
them favored by the Democratic par
ty and by the progressive wing of the
Republican party, If any of the
measuers are passed at this session
~it-will have to be with the aid Of
Democratic votes.
Roosevelt again relterales his be-
lief that the great corporations en-
gagged in interstate business, and es-
pecially the railroads. can only be
effectually controlled by the national
government. The Sherman antitrust
law should be amended or a new law
substituted which should not forbid
all combinations, good or bad, but
should permit combinations which
are in the interest of the public but
should at the same time give to somo
agency of. the national government
full powerof control and supervision
over them. Entire publicity should
be secured in all matters which the
public has right to know.
The. railways should be put COM
pletely under the interstate commerce
commission which should have the
right to supervise and control the is
suances'of securities as well as over
the raising and lowering of rates
AS regard rates, this power should
be summary. The interests of the
shareholders, employees and Of the
shippers should all be guarded as
against one another.
Corporate finances must be super
vised SO as to make it far safer than
at present for the man Of small
means to invest his money in stocks.
Stock watering should be prohibited
and stock gambling, so far as is pos
sible, discouraged.
A proper employers liability law
should be passed. The Judges of the
United States beginning with the SUI
preme Court should have their salar-
les doubled.
Provision should be made that no
injunction or temporary restraining
order issue from the courts otherwise
than on notice, except where irrepar-
able injury would otherwise result,
and In such case a hearing on the
merits of the order should be had
within short fixed period, and if not
then continued after hearing it,
should forthwith lapse.
The forests of the country must be
saved "for they constitute the first
I n
conservation Of the natural resources
of the country"
Our inland waterways should be
hooked after not in the present slip
shod way, but by a comprehensive
and farseeing plan. A permanent
commission authorized to coordinate

Lean Year Skate.

A large crowd was out to see the
Leap Year skate at the Auditorium
Monday evening. Everything was
grand and the young men got the rush
of their lives. Everybody had i
good time and the boys wished that
Leap Year came much oftener than
every four wears.

the work or all the government de-
|partments relating to waterways and
to frame and supervise the execution
of a compi extensive plan should be
provided.
Postal savings banks are now In
operation in practically all the great
civilized countries and should be
adopted by the United States. The
parcel post should be extended on
the rural routes. "The. establishment
Of local parcel post on rural routes
would be to the mutual benefit of
the farmer and the country store
keeper, and it is desirable that the
routes, serving more than 10000
100000 people, should be utilized to
the fullest practicable extent"
The civil service law should
be extended to the census bu-
reau. Statehood should be granted
Arizona and New Mexico. The ocean
mail act should be amended so that
satisfactory American ocean mail
lines to South America, Asia, the
Philippines and Australasia may be
extended. -Four battleships should be
provided for and the general board
of the Navy should be by law turned
into a general staff, so that the Navy
should be as efficiently governed as
is the Army under the present law.
These are in the main the chief
Recommendation of the President.
In passing he CHARGES the Congress
with Gripping the secret service. The
President says that an amendment
passed by it which provided that
"there should be no detail from the
secret service and no transfer there
from" was Of benefit to no one except
to criminals. 1t seriously hampers
the government in the detection of
crime and the securing Of justice.
He continues, "the chief argument
in favor of the provision was that
the Congressman did not themselves
wish to be investigated by secret SER
vice men. Very little of such investi-
CATION has been done In the past, but
lit is true that the work of the secret
service agents was partly responsible
! for the indictment and conviction of
Senator and a Congressman for
land fraud in OREGON. / do not be-
lieve that it is in the public interest
to protect riminals in any branch of
the government service and exact
lily as we have again and
again during the pasA seven years
prosecuted and convicted such Grim
inals who were in the executive
branch of the government we should
be given ample means to prosecute
them if found in the legislative
branch"
This is straight from the shoulder
land ought to make some Congress
men sit up and take notice.
In foreign affairs, President Roose-
welt says, owe have behaved and are
behaving toward other nations as in
private life an honorable man
would behave toward his fellows"
He commends the work on the
Panama Canal which is a "model for
all work Of the kind. No task of
such magnitude has ever before been
undertaken by any Nation, and no
task of the kind has ever been better
performed"
Real progress toward self-govern-
men has been made in the Philippine
Islands, but no one can prophesy the
exact date when it will be wise to
consider independence as a fixed and
definite policy.

roared with laughter
He left the eggs IN charge Of the

he enjoyed every moment OF the show.
When IL was over. the manager re-

The question OF putting up rates or
keepIng them low must eventually BE-
settled for the railroads BY the pub
lie. which has the last word in these
matters. Rates In the end win prob
ably be determined not by what rail-
road officials and railroad stockhOld-
ers would like to do. but BY what the
conditions Of business win permit
them to do and still have the rail-
roads.
II the business interests OF the coun-
try cannot stand an advance Of rates.
as some Of the railway heads and all
shippers contend. then the railroads
eEmnot afford TO persist In maintain
ing an advances. The railroads need
booming business and full cars and
not stagnant business and empty cars.
II the men who are expected 10 pay
the freight can't pay It they wont
ship goods. for Ia the end II an comes
out Of the consumer, and, to 50 to the
crux Of the argument. consumers don't
have to be consumers 81 they don't
want to.
One stock argument OF the railroads
that the rates fixed years ago do not
pay now because wages and other ex-
penses are heavier has been punctured
by one Of the chief shippers Of the
country. He says that with the rise In
the cost Of labor ana commodities the
roads have actually added to their
rate receipts by cutting or rebates.
Sometimes the rates now collected In
fun were cut 90 per cent under the
old system. Every practical man
knows that there has been In the past
4 great deal OF rate fixing In order TO
'.get business" Perhaps q uniform
rate can now be made which WIN ret
business and not kill Il All the
facts on both sides should BE- fairly
presented to the public By the rail-
road and the shippers and be eOnsid-
cred with equal fairness by the pub.
nc. which FIRST. last and always pays
the freight"
