Sherman Law Comes Later.

The Jurisdiction of the general gov
eminent over the interstate commerce
has led to the so-called Sherman anti
trust law and the interstate commerce
law and its amendments. The &c
velopments in the operation of those
laws, as shown by indictments. trials,
judicial decisions and other sources of
information, call for a discussion and
some signs as to amendments. These
prefer 20 embody in a special mes
sage instead of including them in the
present communication and I shall
avail myself of the first opportunity
to bring these subjects othe atten-
ton of congress-

ment of the contributions and the ex-
penditures incurred in the effort for
such elections and that similar legis-

Efficiency of Navy.

THE return of the battleship fleet
from it's voyage around the world, in
more efficient condition that when it
started, was a noteworthy event IN
the interest in our affairs and the ma
val authorities of the world Besides
the beneficial and far-reaching effect
on our personal and diplomatic rela-
tons in the countries which the fleet
visited, the marked success of the
ships in steaming around the world in
all Weathers on schedule time has in
creased respect for our navy and has
added to our national prestige.
Early in the coming session, a COM
prehensive plan for the reorganization
of the officers of all corps of the navy
will be presented to congress and
hope it will meet with action suited to
it's urgency.
Owing to the necessity for economy
curtailment of recommendations for
naval appropriations so that they are
$3S,O00,O0O less than the corresponding
estimates Of last year and the request
for new naval construction is limited
to two first class battleships and one
repair vessel.

Delays in Law.

THE deplorable delays in the admin

received the attention of committees of
the American Bar association and
many state bar associations, as we'll
as the considered thought of judges
and jurists. In my judgment,

view to reducing it's expense to private
litigants in civil cases and facilitating
the dispatch of business and final di
rection in both civil and crmna1 cases
constitutes the greatest need in our
American institutions. l do not doubt
for one moment that much of the law

lynchings are directly due to the I'M
certainties and injustice growing out
of the delays in trials, judgments and
the executions thereof by our courts
The procedure in the federal courts

You needn't be afraid.

in the careful luxury of the oldfashioned
Virginia home was invited TO visit the
kitchen OF a great Chicago hotel She
wanted to go, but was afraid. When
asked why, she replied, I'm AFRAID III

my appetite for hotel food. She went
and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals'
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
siited and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before 1t

If YOU took d handful OF oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each

as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches single grain OF
Quaker Oats from the field to your

could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
