It Is surprising how close some newspapermen can come to violating the confidence reposed in them and still stand technically free of the charge. It is akin to genius for a man to truthfully foreshadow the con- tents of a presidential message with out quoting 1t or making use of lan- guage which may be traced directly to it's pages. It has been noticeable that the discussion of the leading ques- tions for several days past must have given the readers of some papers the impression that great minds run in the same channel"

HOW IT AFFECTS THE MESSAGE

President Taft's message has been in the newspaper offices and the hands of correspondents two or three days. This forehandedness enables newspapers to put the message in type comfortably and gives the edi- tors opportunity to read it carefully and prepare intelligent summary and comment We think we notice dis position here and there to betray the confidence. No one tells right out what the president is going to say, or reveals the recommendations he Is go- ing to make. But there is a good deal of indirect discussion of the matters involved, so that when the message appears some of the points will have been threshed out in advance. and the president will seem to be dealing in secondhand goods. The information can be found elsewhere, as in some of the department reports, so that 1t can- not certainly be charged that actual violation of the presidents confidence has taken place. But the suggestion of special interest in the subjects dis cussed probably comes from a read ing of the message, which contains several matters of great interest," Waterbury American.

SUGGESTED BY KNOX.
Gets Provision IN Urgent DeheIeneS
Bill.

Bill.
The urgency deficiency bill, which VIII
be taken up by the Senate to-day, con-
tains a provision appropnating $4,000
for the extension OF the commercial
activities Of the State Department.
This provision was inserted at the re-
quest OF Secretary OF State Knox, who
pointed out in a letter 10 Representative
TaWney, Of Minnesota. chairman OF the
House Committee on Appropriations,
that an additional amount OF money IS
imperatively needed because OF the great
Increase IN the functions OF the depart
ment
Secretary Knox's letter did not reach
AIr. Tawney until after the passage Of the
urgency deficiency bill IN the House sew
eral days ago, and the provision was IN
serted as a Senate amendment. In ais
letter 20 Mr.. Tawney. Secretary Knox
says the work OF the State Department
has been seriously handicapped by lack
OF funds. AL countries, the Secretary
points out, are now paying more attention
70 foreign trade. and q now era OF com
mercial expansion has developed China
and the Latin American countries. Mr..
Knox added, are recognized BY the world
as the best fields for foreign commerce
and investment. Both O. these fields, he
continued, are especially adapted fer
American enterprise
Mr.. Knox points out the great oppor-
tunities in China for the sale Of cotton
goods. tobacco. railway materials. and
machinery OF every kind. Similar condi-
lions, he says, exist in the Latin Ameri-
can countries. where there is an increas-
ing demand for American products.

able accident. On the other hand, the de-
partment sent Mr.. Holland letter high
