The return OF the bsttlsship fest from

enlcient condition than when II started.
| was Noteworthy event Of interest alike
TO our citizens and the naval authorities

| far-reaching effect on our personal and

which the fleet visited, the marked suc-

has added to our national prestige.
InJunctIons Without Notice.
The platform Of the successful party IN
the last election contained the following:
The Republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity Of
| the courts, state and federal, and will
| ever insist that their powers to enforce
their process and protect iife liberty
and property shall be preserved inviolate
L
| procedure In the federal courts with re-
spect to the issuance Of the writ of in
| junction should be more accurately de-
fined by statute and that no Injunction
| or temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice. except where ir-
reparable injury would result from delay.
In which case . speedy hearing there
after should be granted"
recommend that In compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate legis-
lation be adopted. The ends of Justice
| will best be met and the chief cause Of
| complaint against ill-considered injunc-
| lions without notice will be removed by
the enactment OF statute torbidding
hereafter the issuing of any injunction
| or restraining order, whether temporary
| or permanent. by any federal court,
without previous notice and a reasonable
opportunity to be heard on behalf Of the
| parties to be enJoined; unless II shall ap-
pear to the satisfaction OF the court that
| the delay necessary to give such notice
and hearing would result In irreparabls
injury to the complainant and unless also
the court shall from the evidence make
| q written finding, which shall be spread
| upon the court minutes, that immediate
and irreparable injury Is likely to ensue
| to the complainant, and shall define the
| injury, state why II II irreparable and
| shall also indorse on the order issued the
| date and the hour of the issuance Of the
| order. Moreover. every such injunction
| or restraining order issued without pre-
vious notice and opportunity by the de-
PENDANT to be heard should by force OF
the statute to expire and be Of no effect
| after seven days from the issuance there
| of or within any time less than that Pc
Rod which the court may NJ. unless
| within the injunction or order IL ex-
tended or renewed after previous notice
and opportunity to be heard.
| Second-cIass Mall Matter.
The deficit every year in the post
office department is largely caused by the
low rate of postage of one cent q pound
charged on second-class mail matter.
| which includes not only newspapers but
magazines and miscellaneous periodicals.
| The actual loss growing out OF the trans
mission Of this second-class mail matter
at one cent a pound amounts to about
$63, 000, 900 a year. The average cost Of the
transportation Of this matter IL more than
| nine cents a pound.
1t appears that the average distance ov-
/ err which newspapers are delivered to
| their customers is 291 miles. while the
average haul of magazines Is 1,049. and
| of miscellaneous periodicals LIPS miles.
| Thus, the average haul of the magazine
| Is three and one-half times and that Of
the miscellaneous periodical nearly four
times the haul of the daily newspaper, yet
/
1 one cent a pound. The statistics Of 1907
| show that second-class mall matter con-
stituted 63s1 per cent of the weight of
i all the mail, and yielded only 5.19 per cent.
| Of the revenue.
The figures given are startling. and
show the payment by the government of
/ an enormous subsidy to the newspapers,
magazines and periodicals. and congress
may well consider whether radical steps
/ should not be taken to reduce the deficit
in tho postofnce department caused by
this discrepancy between the actual cost
Of transportation and the compensation
| exacted therefor.
A great saving might be made. amount
ing to much more than half Of the loss
by imposing upon magazines and perl
| odicals . higher rate OF postage. They
are much heavier than newspapers and
contain . much higher proportion Of ad-
vertising to reading matter. and the aver
age distance of their transportation r
three and q half times AZ great.
Postal Savings Banks.
Tho second subject worthy of mention
in the postoffice department IL the real
necessity and entire practicability of CO.
i tablishing postal savings banks. The sue
cessful party at the last election declared
in favor Of postal savingS banks, and al
though the proposition finds opponents In
| many parts of the country, I am con-
| and am sure that when the banks are fur
ntshed they win be productive Of the ut.
most good.
Favors ship Subsidy.
Following the course OF my distin.
guished predecessor. earnestly recon-
mend to congress- the consideration and
passage OF ship subsidy bill. looking "a
the establishment Of lines between our
Atlantic seaboard and the eastern coast
Of South America, a. well a. lines from
the west coast Of the United States q
South America China. Japan and the
Philippines The profts on foreign maill
are perhaps = sufficient measure of ths
expenditures which might first be tenta>
lively applied to this method of inducing
American capital to undertake the estab-
lishment OF American lines Of steamships
In those directions in which we now Tee
II most important that We should have
| means OF transportation controlled in thu
interest Of the expansion OF our trade. A
bill OF this character has once passed the
house and more than once passed thu
senate. and hope that ct this session I
bill framed on the same lines and win
the same purposes may become . law.
Conserving National Resouroes.
