DELIVERED HIS OWN MESSAGE
PRESIDENT BREAKS THE ANCIENT
TRADITIONS OF HIS OFFICE.
Mr.. Wilson Appeared Personally Be-
fore the House and Senate in
Joint Session.

Washington, d. C.-History was
dent of the United States discarding
the ancient traditions that have en-
veloped his office more than cen
fury, made what was characterized
by his hearers as the most remark
able speech ever heard in this coun-
try by a legislative body. And in
doing so he insisted that the time
was here when the chief executive
must be considered from the personal
side. and not as an institution.
it was new procedure. Staid SEN
ators and representatives, strong for
the tradition of the dim past, were
Jared from an affected nonchalance
and tiredness to realization of i'm
mediate duty to nation.
None there was who was not i'm
pressed by the new order and that
the mysteries with which government
has heretofore been surrounded had
surrendered to the latest idea OF
publicity.
1t took the president just eight
minutes to deliver his message. He
began just few seconds before
o'clock and conclued exactly at LOS
O'Clock. He Immediately left the
chamber and capitol.
Cheers as He Began.
The president was cheered as ne
mounted the rostrum in the House
chamber and shook hands with Speak
err Clark. AS he began to speak IN
tense silence settled.
His ringing tones reverberat9d
throughout the chamber of the House.
THE president of the United States
is person. Mr.. Wilson said, and
not a mere department of the govern
ment, mailing congress from some
isolated island of jealous power, send
ing messages, not speaking naturally
and with his own voice-he is a
human being trying to cooperate
with other human beings in COM
mon service
1t was as though President Wilson
was answering the arguments made
in the upper branch only last night
against his appearance.
All in 81 Minutes.
Thirty-seven minutes after he had
left the White House the president
returned to his Office after reading
his message to the joint session.

Soda Lake In Africa.

In English East Africa is the rich
est bed of soda in the world. Engi-
neers say that it contains 200,000,000
tons. The lake has a surface of more
than SO square kilometers. During
the rainy season, which in this local
ity is short, its surface is covered
with shallow layer of water. When
a block of soda is taken out, another
forms, and the natives say that this
occurs so quickly that an equal
amount of soda may be distracted for
number of years from the same

THEY MAY LEAVE MISSOURI
INSURANCE COMPANIES OBJECT
TO ANTITRUST LAW.
At a Meeting in Philadelphia Leading
Underwriters Vote to Quit
the State.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Leading' fire in
surance companies of the United
States and Europe will discontinue
writing insurance in Missouri If a
resolution unanimously adopted at a
meeting here, attended by representa-
tives OF 109 companies, members of
the Western Union, is carried into
effect.
This decision was reached, it was
said, because of the enactment by
the Missouri legislature of drastic
anti-compact, intended to force lower
fire insurance rates by forbidding any
agreement or cooperation as to rates. y
While the action was taken in con-
nection with the annual meeting of
the Western Union, it was said that
organization as body had nothing
to do with the matter. All of its 1903
members, however, voted individually
for the result.
1t was stated after midnight that
the cooperation of sixty other com
panies, members of the Western In
surance Bureau, also has been pledged
to discontinue doing business in Mis-
souri,
Kansas City, Mo-The Orr Biz,
passed by the Legislature at the ses-
sion which adjourned recently, re-
pealed the Oliver law for fire insur-
ance companies and will bring about
a full REIMBURSEMENT of fire insurance
conditions In the state. Under the
Oliver Law fire insurance rates went
up, but the new legislature puts the
companies back under the antitrust
Law.
Two more large fire insurance COM
panies have suspended writing new
policies in Missouri. The Kansas
City agencies received word not to
take more business until the insurance
laws were Strengthened out. They
were the Commercial Fire Insurance
Company of Washington and the
Humboldt of Pittsburgh
Early in the week the Camden and
the Gerard companies withdrew from
the state giving the same reason. The
trouble started with the repeal of the
Oliver Rating Law by the last legis-
lature.
