The chief argument in fayor of the

little of such investigation has been
done in the past but 1t is true that the
work of the secret service agents was
partly responsible for the indictment

gresham for land frauds In Oregon.
/ do not believe that it is in the public
interest to protect criminals in any
branch of the public service, and ex-
actly as we have again and again dur
ing the past seven years prosecuted
and convicted such criminals who
were in the executive branch of the
government so In my belief we should
be given ample means TO prosecute
them if found in the legislative branch.
But If this is not considered desira BILE
a special exception could be made In
the law prohibiting the use of the

far better TO do this than to do what
actually was done and strive to pre-

need of improving their condition and
developing their resources is urgent.
In recent years indultrial conditions
upon the islands hare radically chang
ed. The importation of cody labor
has practically ceased, and there Is
now developing such diversity In
agricultural products rs to make posi-
BILE change in the land conditions OF
the territory so that an opportunity
may be given to the small landowner
similar to that OH the mainland. 10
aid these changes the national govern
ment must provide the necessary bar
Dor improvements on each island so
that the agricultural products can be
carried to the markets of the world
The coastwise shipping laws should be
amended to meet the special needs OF
the islands. and the alien contract Ia
Dor law should be SO modified III Its
application to Hawaii as to enable
American and European labor to be
brought thither.
We have begun to improve Pearl
harbor for naval base and to pro-
vide the necessary military fortifica-
tions for the protection of the islands,
but cannot too strongly emphasize
the need of appropriations for these
purposes of such an amount as will
within the shortest possible time make
those islands practically impregnable.
1t is useless to develop the industrial
conditions OF the islands and estab-
lish there bases of supply for our ma
val and merchant fleets unless we IN
sure. as far as human ingenuity can,
their safety from foreign seizure.
One thing to be remembered with all
: our Notifications is that 1t is almost
useless to make them impregnabie
from the sea If they are left open to
land attack. This is true even of our
own coast, but it is doubly true of our
| insular possessions. In Hawaii, for
| instance, it is worse than useless to
establish a naval station unless we
establish it behind Notifications sc
| strong that no landing force can take
them save by ocular and long con
tinued siege operations.

TO try to set down such date in ad-
vance, for it must depend upon the
way In which the Philippine people
themselves develop the power of sell

Porto Rico.

citizenship be conferred upon the peo-
pie of Porto Rico.
Cuba.
In Cuba our occupancy will cease in
about two months time. The Cubans
have In orderly manner elected their
own governmental authorities, and the
island will be turned over to them.
Our occupation on this occasion has
lasted little over two years, and Cuba
has thriven and prospered under it.
Our earnest hope and one desire is
that the people of the island shall now
govern themselves with justice, so that
peace and order may be secure. We
will gladly help them to this end, but
| would solemnly warn them to re-
member the great truth that the only
way a people can permanently avoid
being governed from without is to
show that they both can and will gov
ern themselves from within.
Japanese Exposition.
The Japanese government has post
poned until 1917 the date Of the great
international exposition, the action be-
ing taken SO as to insure ample time
In which to prepare to make the ex-
position all that it should be made.
The American commissioners have
visited Japan, and the postponement
will merely give ampler opportunity
for America to be represented at the
exposition. Not since the first inter
national exposition has there been one
Of greater Importance than this will
be, marking as it does the fiftieth an
niversary of the ascension to the
throne Of the emperor Of Japan. The
extraordinary leap to foremost place
among the nations of the world made
by Japan during this half century is
something unparalleled in all previous
history. This exposition will fifty
commemorate and signalize the giant
progress that has been achieved. 1t
Is the first exposition of its kind that
has ever been held in Asia. The Unit
ed States because Of the ancient
friendship between the two peoples
because each Of US fronts on the Pa.
cific and because Of the growing com
mercial relations between this country
and Asia, takes peculiar interest in
seeing the exposition made a success
in every way.
take this opportunity publicly to
state my appreciation Of the way in
which in Japan, in Australia, in New
Zealand and in all the states Of South
America the battle feet has been re-
ceived on Its practice voyage around
the world. The American government
cannot too strongly express its appre
citation of the Astounding and generous
hospitality shown our ships in every
port they visited.

MILITARY AFFAIRS.
Executives Views on the Army, the
Navy and the National Guard.

AS regards the army, l call attention
to the fact that. while our junior on
GERS and enlisted men stand very high.
the present system OF promotion by
seniority results in bringing into the
higher grades many men of mediocre
capacity who have but short time to
eerve. No man should regard it as his
vested right to rise to the highest rank
In the army any more than in any 9th
er profession. 1t is curious and by
no means creditable fact that there
should be so often failure on the part
of the public and its representatives to
understand the great need from the
standpoint of the service and the ma
tlon Of refusing to promote respectable
elderly incompetents The higher
places should be given to the most de-
serving men without regard TO senior
ity. AT least seniority should be treat
ed as only one consideration. In the
stress of modern industrial competi-
ton no business firm could succeed If
those responsible for Its management
were chosen simply on the ground that
they were the oldest people in it's en-
ployment. Yet this is the course adyo-
Gated az regards the army and re-
quired by law for all grades except
those Of general officer. AS a matter
Of fact, all of the best officers In the
highest ranks of the army are those
who have attained their present posi-
tlon wholly or in part by a process of
selection
The scope Of retiring boards should
be extended so that they could con-
slider general unfitness to command for
any cause in order to secure far
more rigid enforcement than at pres
ent in the elimination Of officers for
mental. physical or temperamental
disabilities. But this plan Is recon-
mended only If the congress does not
see fit to provide what in my judg-
meDt is far better-that is. for selec-
tion In promotion and for elimination
Tor nge Officers who fail to attain
certain rank by certain age should
be retired. For instance, IL a man
should not attain field rank by the

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
Steady Progress Toward Removing
Service From Politics.

1t has been my purpose from the be-
ginning of my administration to take
the Indian service completely out of
the atmosphere of political activity,
and there has been steady progress to-
ward that end. The last remaining
stronghold of politics in that service
was the agency system. which had
seen its best days and was gradually
falling to pieces from natural or pure
ly evolutionary causes. but. Ike all
such survivals was decaying slowly
III its later stages. 1t seems clear that
Its extinction had better be made final
now so that the ground can be cleared
for larger constructive work on behalf
of the Indians preparatory to their in
duction Into the full measure Of re
sponsible citizenship. On Nov. / only
eighteen agencies were left on the
roster With two exceptions. where
some legal questions seemed 10 stand

GUARDING OUR HEALTH.
Dangers From Food Adulteration
and Other Sources Preventable.

The dangers to public health from
food adulteration and from many
other sources. such as the menace to
the physical, mental and moral devel-
opment of children from child labor,
should be met and overcome There
are numerous diseases which are now
KNOWN TO be preyentable which are
nevertheless not prevented The re-
cent international congress on tuber-
culosis has made us painfully aware
OF the inadeQuacy of American public
health legislation. This nation can
not afford to lag behind in the world
wide battle now being waged by all
civilized people with the microscopic
foes OF mankind. nor ought we longer
to ignore the reproach that this gov.
eminent takes more pains to protect
the lives of hogs and of cattle than
Of human beings. The first legisla-
tive step TO be taken is that for the
concentration Of the proper bureaus
into one of the existing departments
| therefore urgently recommend the
passage of a bill which shall author
lie a redistribution of the bureaus
which shall best accomplish this end
Government Printing Office.
| recommend that legislation be en-
acted placing under the Jurisdiction Of
the department Of commerce and la
Dor the government printing Office At
present this Office is under the COM
bined control supervision and admin
istratiye direction of the president
and of the joint committee on printing
of the two houses of the congress. The
advantage Of having the 1000 en-
ployees in this office and the expendi-
ture of the s5,7G1.3I751 appropriated
therefor supervised by an executive
department is obvious instead of the
present combined supervision.
Soldiers Homes.
All soldiers homes should be placed
under the complete jurisdiction and
control of the war department
independent Bureaus and Commissions
Economy and sound business policy
require that all existing independent
bureaus and commissions should be
placed under the jurisdiction of appro
pirate executive departments. 1t is
unwise from every standpoint and re
suits only in mischief to have any
executive work done save by the pure
ly executive bodies under the contro
Of the president. and each such execu
tive body should be under the immedi
ate supervision Of cabinet minister.
Statehood.
! advocate the immediate admission
Of New Mexico and Arizona as states
This should be done at the present ses
sion Of the congress. The people o.
the two territories have made 1t evi
dent by their votes that they will no

native is to admit them as two, and
trust that this will be done withou
delay.

SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS.
Cordial Relations With Latin Amer
lea Much to Be Desired.

The commercial and material prog
ress of the twenty Latin American re-
publics is worthy OF the careful atten-
ton OF the congress. No other section
OF the world has shown a greater pro-
portionate development of its foreign
trade during the last ten years. and
none other has more special claims on
the interest of the United States. 1t
offers today probably larger opportuni-
ties for the legitimate expansion OF our
commerce than any other group Of
countries. These countries will want
our products in greatly increased guam
titles, and we shall correspondence
need theirs. The international bureau
of the American republics is doing a
useful work in making these nations
and their resources better known to
us and in acquainting them not only
with US as n people and with our pur-
poses toward them. but with what we
have to exchange for their goods. 1t
Is an international institution support
ed by all the governments of the two
Americas.
Panama Canal.
The work on the Panama canal is
being done with a speed, efficiency
and entire devotion to duty which
make 1t 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. The men
n 10 .<lA IL,
and his fellow commissioners through
the entire list of employees who are
faithfully doing their duty have won
their right to the ungrudging respect
and gratitude of the American people.
Ocean Mail Lines.
l again recommend the extension Of
the ocean mail act of 1891 so that sat
isfactory American ocean mail lines
to South America Asia, the Philip
pines and Australasia may be estab-
llshed. The creation of such steam
ship lines should be the natural corol-
larry of the voyage of the battle feet.
1t should precede the opening of the
Panama canal. Even under favorable
conditions several years must elapse
before such lines can be put into oper-
alton. Accordingly l urge that the
congress act promptly where foresight
already shows that action sooner O..
| later will be inevitable
