In addition to the many excellent
rules that have been laid down for

one other that nobody should neglect:
don't forget TO lay in a supply of anti
tuberculosis Christmas stamps. and
don't forget to afiix them to your holi-

The design this year is simpler and
sightlier than that of last year but the

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Generally speaking, President Taft's
message To Congress, presented today
will be found very pleasing and sat
isfactory document 1t is conservative
in tone yet forceful, and carries with
it the conviction that the country
affairs are moving along smoothly and
that the plans outlined for future legis-
lation and the conduct OF the admins
tration will work out To the best in
terests of our business and social life.
In his recent tour President Taft out
lined his policies quite thoroughly so
that much that is contained in the
message was forecasted and anuci-
patcd. These policies may be described
in a word as RooseYeltian. tempered
by the difference in temperament be-
tween the present and former eXecu-
tives
The message shows that the admin
istration is rigidly pursuing the policy
~ economy which the Republican par
~ promised the people previous 10
election. The needs of the various de-
psrtments and Of the government have
been cut down as much as possible, the
army estimates alone for the coming
fiscal year having been reduced forty
five millions. The extent 10 which
estimates have been decreased may
readily be appreciated when it is stated
that while the close Of the present fs-
cal year on June 80. 1910, will show a
deficit Of over seventy-three millions
there viii be no deficit at the close Of
the coming fiscal year, but a surplus Of
approximately seven hundred and
twelve thousand dollars.
Two Of the most important recon-
Tnendations Of the president are rela-
tive 10 changes in judicial procedure
100 civil and criminal cases and issu-
anCe Of injunctions In the presidents
mind a reduction in the expense TO
private litigants I'm civil cases and the
facilitating Of final decision in both
civil and criminal cases constitute the
greatest needs in American institu-
lions. 1t Is a well known fact that in
many cases, civil and criminal, there is
too much delay. technicality and red
tape methods. Especially in civil
cases this works to the disadvantage
OF people in poor or even moderate
circumstances and to the advantage Of
the wealthy, while In criminal cases
the ends Of justice are often defeated.
Concerning the issuance Of injunctions
the president sticks closely TO a cam
paign promise in which the Republican
party advised legislation TO give pre-
vious notice except where irreparable
injury would result from delay in
which case "A speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted. Tho present laws

governing injunctions are unjust I'm
their application in many cases and
such legislation as recommended would
be only fair.
The antitrust and interstate COM
mcrce laws are not touched upon I'm
the message, the president prcferring
TO deal with these i'm later special
messages. The sugar scandal is referr-
cd TO, but congressional investiga-
tion not advised at this time because
of possible embarrassment TO the pend
ing probe. A similar reason prompted
the president not 10 recommend any
amendments 10 the antitrust laws at
present, fearing that in some way
pending cases might be affected The
president shows excellent Judgment in
his decision 10 let these matters go for

No further revision of the tariff is
recommended until the tarir boards
reveal reliable facts upon
which such revision can be intelligently
Mr.. Taft's Judgment in
this respect will meet with general
as there is nothing that so
completely upsets the country and mars
the even tenor OF business as tariff
agitation.
An interesting item in the message
is the announcement that the cost of
the Panama canal, which viii be COM
pleted by Jan. l, 1915. will be $375,201,-
600. Many other matters of interest
are touched upon. and legislation urged

The Panama Canal.

The policy Of paying for the con-
struction of the Panama canal not
out of current revenue, but by bond
issue, was adopted in the Spooner act
Of 1902, and there seems to be no good
reason for departing from the princi-
pie by which part at least Of the
burden of the cost of the canal shall
fall upon our posterity, who are to
enjoy IL, and there Is all the more rea-
son for this view because the actual
cost to date of the canal, which is now
half done and which will be completed
Jan. 1, 1915, shows that the cost Of
engineering and construction will be
1927 100000 instead of $3.50, 705 200. as
originally estimated. In addition to
engineering and construction. the 9th

Two features of the new tariff act
call for special reference. In order
that the maximum duty shall be charg-
ed against the imports from a country
it is necessary that the executive shall
find on the part of that country not
only determinations in its laws or the
practice under them against the trade
OF the United States, but that the dis
ordinations found shall be undue
