THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The extreme length of the presl-
dents last message to congress Is due
largely to reiteration of former state
ments made by the president, ana
not because of the treatment oil new
questions not previously discussed by
the executive in his public utterances
and messages. 1t may be taken as ;!
review of the presidents position on
the questions which have come to be
called the Roosevelt policies. The
Chicago Tribune believes that the
present message will not fail of the
criticism which has greeted most OF
the presidential utterances, that IL
will be complained of as too long, as
reiterative and as platitudinous, buf
the Tribune holds that. the message
represents an advance OF the presl-
dents main position which Will De
found more significant in the retro
spect than it does perhaps now. The
Tribune says of the message:
1t is a document which will be
read by nation of ninety millions,
and will convey to the collective mind
Ideas when will fructify widely. 1t
Is, in other words, an utterance OF
great moment, which will have per-
vasive and lasting effect upon the So
cial and political present and future
of the republic President Roosevelt,
as he himself has said, does not try
to compel, but to lead public opinion.
and his practical craftsmanship has
kept him from getting too far away
from those he leads. His messages,
and very notably his latest message,
are remarkable expressions of the
newer convictions and aspirations OF
The American people. They are es-
says in political democracy, formulat-
Ing the better purposes and aspira'
tons of. our people, and leading us on
to our next stage of development.
The sophisticated and the cynic may
sheer at its truisms, but in public
documents and as militant express
sions of practical political policy
these trlisms are dynamic facts tc
be dealt with.
The presidents reference to the in
compatibility of the Democratic par
ty's positions on Capitalization and or
The trust problem is more specific
than ever, They are twin denuncid
tions'' as he declares, which nullify
each other 1t is we'll at this time tc
have it driven home, even at the ex
pense of rciteration, that centraliza
tion in business has taken place Ii
large measure and must be met, Ii
30 far as j: needs to be controlled il
the public interest, by the centra
government 1t is well also to have i
recognized that combination an'
concentration are an inevitable eco
nomic tendency, to be accepted ant
taken advantage of, not wildly AM
disastrously tilted against. 1t is wei
also that certain interests of the ma
tion which transcend state lines :
like the conservation Of our nationa
resources must be dealt with b.
the national government and from tn
national point Of view.
The Tribune takes the view tina
the president does We'll to repeat TO,

There is something alluring about
that plan of globe girdiing proposed
by the Rev. Mr.. Shredanorich of But.
Ter, Pa. The plan, as stated in the
news dispatches. is for the traveller to
lift himself above the earth to a
point where he will stand still, while
the earth, rotating on it's axis, brings
his objective point to him. Perhaps
the Rev. Mr.. Shredovich's explanation
makes it clearer: ''We will hoist our
selves above the earth" he says, 'and
await the coming of the desired place,
then we will lower ourselves where
we desire to be. In this way" he
adds. I'VE may go from America to
Europe in less than twelve hours. Ny

secret is how TO stand super earth and
not be trailed by the earth's attrac-
TONS
There may be one or two things,
however, that Mr.. Shredanovich has
overlooked. If he failed 10 mount
enough he might get wiped off the
map when Pixies peak Went swooping
by, and il he got too high there's a
chance that he might bump into one
OF the Wright brothers awaiting
around UP there in the clouds. Then,
too. there is the problem OF making a
safe landing. The old earth goes
some making its daily record and it
might rip something when the traveller
dropped down out of the ETHEREAL void.

The Hood Of cash pouring into New

half millions Of gold to Europe the as
ISOLATED banks reported Saturday a neat
increase In specie and legal tenders OF
$9.947 600. Their total net cash holdings
are now nearly 375 millions of dollars, by
far the largest on record. and their ex-
cess surplus above the 25 per cent reserve
To find a surplus as large 1t is necessary
to go back to the period succeeding the
1893 panic.
The banks. in accordance with the clear.
United States deposits included. but since
legally they are not required to carry re.
serves against public deposits the amount
of excess cash they have on hand Is
really about $72.00OOO0. For the xeeh

the week $8.48O.475. The summary OF

The deposits of the clearing banks and
Of trust companies and state banks are
now the highest on record. and the
plethora Of idle funds Is indicated by the
fact that the reserve of clearing house
banks. public deposits included, is &c. o:
per cent. while the reserve of the state
banks not reporting through the clearing
house Is 1886 per cent and of the trust
companies 31.41 per cent. To just what
extent gold exports will continue canno,
be stated. but the amount matters but
little at the present time. considering the
huge volume of idle funds in bank.
