Gentlemen of the Congress-In pur-
suance of my constitutional duty to
''give to the congress information of
the state of the Union" take the lib
erty of addressing you on several mat
ters which ought. as it seems to me.
particularly TO engage the attention of
your honorable body. as of all who
study the welfare and progress of the
nation.
l shall ask your indulgence if ven
ture to depart in some degree from the
usual custom Of setting before you in
formal review the many matters which
have engaged the attention and called
for the action of the several depart
ments of the government or which
look to them for early treatment in
the future, because the list is long,
very long. and would suffer in the alb
breviation to which I should have to
subject it. shall submit to you the
reports Of the heads Of several depart
menss in which these subjects are set
forth in careful details and beg that
they may receive the thoughtful atten-
ton Of your committees and of all
members Of the congress who may
have the leisure to study them. Their
obvious Importance. as constituting the
very substance of the business Of the
government, makes comment and en-
phasis on my part unnecessary.

Out Needed Economical Reforms.
Three or four matters of special i'm
portance and significance beg that
you will permit me to mention in clos.
ing
Our bureau of mines ought to be
equipped and empowered to render
even more effectual service than it rem
ders now in improving the conditions of
mine labor and making the mines more
economically productive us well as
more safe. This is an all important
part of the work Of conservation. and
the conservation of human life and en-
ergy lies even nearer to our interest
than the preservation from waste of
our material resources.
We owe it in mere justice to the rail-
way employees Of the country to pro-
vide for them !: fair and effective EN-
ployer's liability act: and law that
we can stand by in this matter will be
no less to the advantage of those who
administer the railroads OF the coun-
try than to the advantage of those
whom they employ. The experience
of large number of the states abun-
dainty proves this.
We ought to devote ourselves to
meeting pressing demands Of plain
justice like this as earnestly as to the
accomplishment of political and eco
nomic reforms. Social justice comes

Grating with this congress and sharing
with it the iabors of common service
to which it has devoted itself so unre-

Of uncomplaining concentration upon
the business Of legislation? Surely It
is proper and pertinent part of my
report on ''rhe State of the Union. to
express my admiration for the dill

has already been manifested by both
