Regulation of Water Power.
There are pending before congress a
large number of bills proposing TO
grant privileges of erecting dams for
the purpose Of creating water power
in our navigable rivers. The penden-
cy of these bills has brought out an
important defect in the existing gen
eral dam act. That act does not, in
my opinion. grant sufficient power to
the federal government in dealing
with the construction of such dams to
exact protective conditions in the in
terest of navigation. 1t does not per-
init the federal government, as con-
dition of its permit, to require that
part of the value thus created shall be
applied to the further general i'm
provement and protection OF the
stream. l believe this to be one of the
most important matters OF internal i'm
provement now confronting the gov
eminent.
In my opinion constructive states
manship requires that legislation
should be enacted which will permit
the development Of navigation in these
great rivers 10 go hand in hand with
the utilization of this byproduct of
water power, created in the course OF
the same Improvement, and that the
general dam act should be so amend
ed as to make this possible
l deem it highly important that the
nation should adopt a consistent and
harmonious treatment of these water
| power projects, which will preserve
for this purpose their value TO the gov
eminent, whose right it is to grant the
| permit. Any other policy is equiva-
lent to throwing away a most valua-
BILE national asset.
Tho Panama Canal.
During the past year the work of
construction upon the canal has pro-
| crossed most satisfactorily. About 81
per cent of the excavation work has
been completed, and more than 90 per
cent of the concrete for all the locks is
in place. In view of the great lnteres;
which has been manifested as to some
slides in the Culebra cut l am glad to
say that the report of Colonel Goethals
should allay any apprehension on this
point 1t is gratifying to note thai

ing this year would have interfered
with the passage of the ships had the

and equipment under recent legislation
have been asSimilated. as far as posi-
BILE, to those of the regular army, and
its practical efficiency under the effect
OF this training has very greatly in
creased Our citizen soldiers under
present conditions have reached 4 stage
of development beyond which they can
not reasonably be asked to go without
further direct assistance in the form
of pay from the federal government
On the other hand. such pay from the
national treasury would not be justi-
fed unless it produced proper equiva-
lent in additional efficiency on the part
of the national guard.
The organized militia today cannot
be ordered outside of the limits of the
United States and thus cannot lawful
" be used for general military pur-
poses. The officers and men are ambi-
tious and eager to make themselves
thus available and to become an eff
cient national reserve of citizen sol
diery. They are the only force of
trained men other than the regular
army upon which we can rely. The
so called militia pay bill in the form
agreed on between the authorities of
the war department and the represent
atives of the national guard, in my
opinion, adequately meets these condi
lions and offers a proper return for the
pay which it is proposed to give to the
national guard.
l believe that its enactment into law
would be very long step toward pro
viding this nation with a first line OF
citizen soldiery, upon which its mair
reliance must depend in case Of any
| national emergency. Plans for the or
ganization of the national guard int

States, it cannot count upon re-en-
forcements or recruitment. 1t is an
outpost upon which will fall the brunt
of the first attack in case of war.
The historical policy of the United
States of carrying its regiments dur
ing time of peace at half strength has
no application to our foreign garri-
sons. During the past year this de-
feet has been remedied as to the Phil
ippines garrison. The former garrison
of twelve reduced regiments has been
replaced by a garrison of six regi-
ments at full strength, giving fully the
same number of rif1emen at an esti-
mated economy in cost of maintenance
of over S1,000,000 per year. This gar
rison is to be permanent. Its regi-
mental units. instead of being trans
ferred periodically back and forth
from the United States. will remain in
the islands. The officers and men
composing these units will however,
serve regular tropical detail, as usual.
thus involving no greater hardship
upon the personnel and greatly in
creasing the effectiveness of the garri-
son.
The Home Army.
simultaneously with. the foregoing
steps the war department has been
| proceeding with the reorganization OF
the army at home. The formerly dis
associated units are being united into
tactical organization Of three divi
sions, each consisting Of two or three
brigades of infantry and, so far as
practicable, proper proportion of di
yisional cavalry and artillery. OF
course the extent to which this reform
can be carried by the executive i:
practically limited to a paper organiza
ton. The scattered units can b.
brought under a proper organization
but they will remain physically scat
tered until congress supplies the nee
essary funds for grouping them il
more concentrated posts.

The Tariff.

1 have regarded it as my duty in for
mer messages to the congress to urge
the revision Of the tariff upon princi-
ples of protection. 1t was my Juog-
ment that the customs duties ought 10
be revised downward, but that the re-
duction ought not to be below a rate
which would represent the difference
in the cost of production between the
article in question at home and abroad,
and for this and other reasons l vetoed
several bills which were presented 10
me in the last session of this congress.
Now that a new congress has oeen
elected on a platform Of a tarin TOT
revenue only rather than protective
tariff, and is to revise the tarlh on that
basis. 1t is needless for me to occupy
the time Of this congress with argu'
ments or recommendations in favor OF
a protective tariff.
Army Reorganization.
Our small army now consists of 3d.
900 men. excluding the 5000 Philip
pine scouts. Leaving out of consloera

position is fixed in our various sea

The forces remaining in the United

Rheumatic Pains Away.

Il is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism. and be all crippled
up and bent out OF shape with its
heart.wrenchlng pains. when you can
be quickly and permanently cured.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys. that fail to filter from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid: and IL is useless TO rub
on liniments OF take ordinary remedies
to relieve the pain. This only pro-
longs the misery and can't possibly
cure you.
The only way TO cure rheumatism
is TO remove the cause. The new dis
covery. Croxone, positively does this.
Il neutralizes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
to scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism. and cleans out and
strengthens the stopped-up, inactive
kidneys, so they filter all the poison
from the blood, and drive it on and
out Of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful med

The Philippines.
A bill is pending in congress which
reyolutiOniZes the carefully worked out
scheme of government under which the
Philippine Islands are now governed
and which proposes TO render them viz
tually autonomous at once and abso-
lutely independent in eight years. Such
q proposal can only be founded on the
assumption that we have now discharg-
ed our truSteeship to the Filipino peo-
pie and our responsibility for them to
the world and that they are now pre-
pared for self government as well as
national sovereignty. A thorough and
unbiased knowledge of the facts clear
ly shows that these assumptions are
absolutely without justification.
As to this l believe that there is NO
substantial difference of opinion among
any of those who have had the respon-
sibility of facing Philippine problems
in the administration of the islands,
| and l believe that no one to whom the
| future of this people is responsible
| concern can countenance a policy
| fraught with the direst consequences
| to those on whose behalf 1t is osten-
| sibly urged.
Our duty to the Filipinos is far from
! discharged. Over half a million Fill
i Pine students are now in the Philip
| pine schools helping to mold the men
| of the future into homogeneous peo-
pie, but there still remain more than
a million Filipino children of school
age yet to be reached. Freed from
American control the integrating forces
of a common education and common
language will cease and the education
al system now well started will slip
back into inefficiency and disorder.
An enormous increase in the com
mercial development of the islands has
been made since they were virtually
granted full access to our markets
three years ago, with every prospect
of increasing development and diversi
fed industries. Freed from American
control such development Is bound to
decline.
!, If the task we have undertaken is
higher than that assumed by other ma
lions, its accomplishment must de
mand even more patience. We mus
not forget that we found the Filipino.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Sending a
second message TO congress to-
Gay on fiscal, judicial, military and
insular affairs, President Taft explains
that, as the message OF Dec. 3 was
confined TO foreign relations and as q
full discussion of all the transactions
Of the government requires more space
than one message OF reasonable length
affords, 81 have therefore adopted the
course Of sending three or four mes
sages during the first ten days Of the
session so as to include reference TO
more important matters that should
be brought to the attention Of con-
gress."
The president finds the country in a
period of successful business, with a
year Of bumper crops. For the last
three years the government has saved
much by sensible economy. He finds
the crying need Of the country is a
proper banking and currency system
and says that customs duties should
be revised downward. He strongly
urges congress to make the necessary
appropriation for strengthening our
foreign possessions at the earliest pos
slble day. In recognition Of his work
on the Panama canal President Taft
recommends the promotion Of Colonel

made from the depressing condition
following the panic Of 1907 have bee
