 We owe it. in mere justice to the railway employees of the country. to provide for them fair and effective employers liability act: and a law that we can stand by in this matter will be no less 10 the advantage ot those who administer the railroads of the country than to the advantage of those whom they employ. The e5peri- ence of a large number of the states abundantly proves that.
 We ought to devote ourselves to meeting pressing demands of plain justice like this as earnestly as to the accomplishment of political and economic reforms Social justice comes first. Law is the machinery for it's realization and is vital only as 1t expresses and embodies it
 Safety at Sea.
 An international congress for the discussion of all questions that affect safety at sea Is now sitting in London at the suggestion of our own govern ment. So soon as the conclusions of that congress can be learned and con sidered we ought to address ourselves, among other things. to the prompt alleviation of the very unsafe. unjust. and burdensome conditions which now surround the employment of sailors and render 1t extremely difficult to obtain the services of spirited and competent men such as every ship needs if 1t Is to be safely handled and brought to port
 May not express the very real pleasure I have experienced fin CO operating with this congress and shar- ing with 1t the labors of common service to which 1t has devoted itself 80 unreservedly during the past seven months of uncomplaining concentra- tion upon the business of legislation? Surely 1t Is proper and pertinent part of my report on the state of the Union" to express my admiration for the diligence, the good temper. and the full comprehension of public duty which has already been manifested by both the houses; and hope that it may not be deemed an impertineni intrueion of myself into the picture Y say with how much and how con. stant satisfaction have availed my self of the privilege Of putting my time and. enerev rt iheir disposal alike in counsel and ie actioG.

our supervision. Let us once find the path and set out with firm and conf dent tread upon it and we shall not wander from 1t or finger upon it. Double Duty Toward Alaska. A duty faces us with regard to Alas ka which seems to me very pressing and very imperative; perhaps should say double duty. for 1t concerns both the political and the material develop ment of the territory. The people of Alaska should be given the full terri torial form of government, and Alas. ka. as a storehouse. should be un- locked One key to 1t is a system of railways. These the government should itself build and administer. and the ports and terminals it should itself control in the interest of all who wish to use them for the service and de velopment of the country and its peo- pie.
 But the construction of railways is only the first step; is only thrusting In the key to the storehouse and throwing back the lock and opening the door How the tempting resources or the country are to be exploited is another matter, to which shall take the liberty of from time to time call. ing your attention. for 1t is a policy which must be worked out by we'll considered stages. not upon theory. but upon lines of practical expediency It is part of our general problem of conservation. We have a freer hand in working out the problem in Alaska than in the states of the UnioH and yet the principle and object are the same, wherever We touch it. We must use the resources of the country, not lock them up. There need be no con nict or jealousy as between state and federal authorities. for there can be no essential difference of purpose be- tween them. The resources in oues- ton must be used. but not destroyed or wasted; used, but not monopolized upon any narrow idea of individual rights as against the abiding interests Of communities. That policy can be worked out by conference and conces- sion which will release these resources and yet not leopard or dissipate them. I for one have no doubt; and it can be done on lines of regulation which need be no less acceptable to the people and governments of the states concerned than to the people and government of the nation at large. whose heritage these resources are We must bend our counsels to this end. A common purpose ought to make agreement easy.
 Specially Important.
 Three or four matters of special i'm portance and significance I beg that you will permit me to mention in clos ing.

 These are all matters of vital do- nestle concern. and besides them. out side the charmed circle of our own national life in which our affections command us, as we'll as our con sciences. there stand out our obliga- tions toward our territories over sea Here we are trustees. Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines. are ours, once regarded as mere possessions. are no longer to be selfishly exploited; they are part of the domain of public con science and of serviceable and enlight- ened statesmanship. We must admin ister them for the people who live in them and with the same sense of re sponsibility to them as toward our own people in our domestic affairs No doubt we shall successfully enough bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is- lands to ourselves by ties of iustce and affection, but the performance of our duty toward the Philippines Is a more difficult and debatable matter We can satisfy the obligations of gen erous justice toward the people of Porto Rico by giving them the ample and familiar rights and privileges ac corded our own citizens in our own territory and our obligations toward the people of Hawaii by perfecting the provisions of self-government already granted them, but in the Philippines we must go further. We must hold steadily In view their ultimate inde- pendence, and we must move toward the time of that independence as steadily as the way can be clea d and the foundations thoughtfully and per manently laid.
 Test of Responsibility.
 Acting under the authority con. ferred upon the president by congress. have already accorded the people of the islands majority in both houses of their legislative body by appointing five instead of four native citizens to the membership of the commission. believe that in this way we shall make proof of their capacity in coun. sel and their sense of the responsibil. ity in the exercise of political power. and that the success of this step will be sure to clear our view for the steps which are to fellow.
