TALKS ON MESSAGE.
JOr4l Sharp Williams Discusses Roose.
welt and His Policies.

Washington, Feb. 4.-General de-
bate on the Indiana appropriation bill
in the house was today extended 50 as
to permit it's continuation until the
close of the session tonight Mr.. Will
liams (Miss.) was recognized at once
for an hour and taking for his text
the presidents recent message which
was so thoroughly discussed yesterday,
said he disagreed with Mr.. Hepburn's
statement of yesterday that the mes
sage met with the approval Of the en-
tire American people. Indeed, he
said, there are things In it sensational.
federalistic and dangerous to the
American public.
Mr.. Hepburn, he declared, had threat
ened the "big four Of the house-the
speaker and Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and
Sherman, when he asserted that the
house would pass the remedial legisla-
ton the president had recommended
He hoped to see the standard of re-
bellion raised by Mr.. Hepburn, and he
said he hoped to see some of the things
spoken of in the message enacted into
law. He was not a hero-worShiper and
therefore he would consider the mes
sage without any regard to the Hon
orable Theodore Roosevelt" from whom
the message emanated.
'T shall consider it." he said, amid
loud applause "just as If it had been
a message emanating in the past from
Grover Cleveland or William Mckinley
or a message which more nearly resem-
bles in it's substance one emanating
from the Hon. w. J. Bryan"
Mr.. Williams declared that he was
not one of those who were afraid Of
radical in the White House.
He discussed briefly the possibility
of railroad rate legislation and insist
ed that it was of Democratic origin.

you ever governor, with an extraordi-
nary session of the legislature on your
hands? Did you ever have your mind
full and running over with amend
ments to bank bills, amendments to
prohibition bills and amendments to
insurance bills? If SO, you were rather
busy and / come without a moment Of
preparation to welcome you to your
capital city. But I sometimes think
that after all the best welcome is in
the words that come bubbling right UP
from the heart.
You. gentlemen. represent the vital
energies of our state. You are the
producers, contributors to the worlds
goods, and I have come to think that
a man who is not in some way a con-
tr1butor to the worlds goods is like
the barren tree which the Savior said
should no longer cumber the earth.
The law of labor is the universal law.
When activity ceases, when inactivity
becomes the normal condition, dis
solution has set in, or death has al
ready occurred. 1t is the duty of every
man to earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow, but there are too many
men who are anxious to earn their
bread by the sweat of somebody else's
brow. I think the Lord made no mis-
take when he gave the command Six
days shalt thou labor This is not
only the Sabbath commandment, but
the labor commandment I believe it
Is as much the duty of man to labor
six days as it is to rest one day. No
man has a right ever to retire from
business. I believe it is the duty of
every man, as long as he has the use
of a single faculty remaining unim-
paired, to continue to contribute to tho
worlds goods L believe it is not only
a duty to la/or six days, but to rest on
the seventh, and I want to say to you,
laboring people. that If capital in it's
cupidity, If capital in its avarice. shall
ever SO completely commercialize the
Sabbath that the laborer shall be COM
PEELED to work seven days instead of
six to hold his job. then the worst
blow ever directed against labor will
have been struck"
In conclusion, the governor said:
Gentlemen, count it an honor as well
as pleasure to welcome you here. This
is your building and I simply welcome
you to your own. I trust your delibera-
tions will be pleasant and profitable. Your
successes are twined and intertwined with
the progress and welfare of the state"

MIR. BILLIARD OF MEnIDEN.

This gentleman while not, so far as we know, born great, has had greatness literally thrust upon him. Judged by the fleeting standards of judgment which have come into use of recent years, he Is the boss malefactor of the bunch, a candidate for the list of un- desirables and predatory giant of broncho- busting proportions. He car ries on his Inside pocket the controlling stock of the Boston & Maine railroad, though we. regret to learn that he has not yet decided whether he will himself vote 1t at the meetings of the railroad company It will take time for him to grow up to his sudden bosship.
 The only thing we cannot understand about this man Billiard of railroad fame
 Is the misunderstanding others have of him. There is nothing mysterious about his sudden acquisition of the Boston and Maine stock. The New Haven road wanted a purchaser for its stock and exercising the right which all owners of stock possess 1t sold to a man not believed to be unfriendly to the New Haven interests Had 1t not been Bill lard it might have been Bullard. It Is the scent of the rose which counted not the name. It Is not so long that our genial friend, Judge A. Heaton Robert son came Into possession of the old Meriden and Cromwell railroad. Peo- pie wondered what on earth he wanted with a railroad. He met every advance upon his personal knowledge with inA- nite jest and surpassing good nature,
 Later he sold the property to the New Haven railroad company and there should have parted with piece of property so dear to his heart A few rreVerent souls had the mpudence to suggest that he had been holding tho railroad all the while for the New Ha- ven, but they were met with nothing more convincing than captivating smile, There are other lrreverent souls today who actually believe that Mr. Billiard is to hold the Boston and Maine for the New Haven No wonder the world Is said to be queer when the Robertson's and Billiards buy railroad
