President Signs Appropriation Bill

Washington. - President Wilson
signed the sundry civil appropriation
bill Monday with a statement declar-
ing he would have vetoed, if he could,
the provision in it exempting labor
unions" and farmers" organizations
from prosecution under a 100000 fund
designated for the operation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The pres ident characterized the ex-
emption as "unjustifiable in character
and principle" but caned attention to
the fact that the department of justice
possessed ether funds with which to
enforce the antitrust laws. The ur-
gent need of various government de-
partments for funds appropriated by
the bill influenced the president to
speedy action on the measure.

SPEAKER CLARK ALARMED AT
- :, EMIGRATION. FROM U. S
Declares It is Costing Uncle Sam Mil
lions of Dollars Year-ls for Bet
ter Homestead Laws.


Washington. While committees of
both houses of congress are preparing
to press immigration reforms at the
next session, Speaker Clark is giving
attention to the other side of the ques-
ton. Emigration, the speaker said in
recent statement, is costing the Uni
ted States millions of dollars a year in
actual money, aside from the loss in
volved in giving up an American to be
replaced by foreign immigrant.
1T is high time" said Mr.. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the in
fluence of emigration upon our future.
'"Fhese Americans who are leaving
the United States understand our in
stitutions, our ways and our aspira-
tions, While most of the immigrants
have to be taught these things.
In one week not long since, 1S45
American farmers with $3SS,5OO in
cash and $4,000 in personal property,
crossed into western Canada, to settle
in British North America That is an
average of 1888 per capita and that
week was below the weekly average
into that region alone. How many go
to other countries / do not know.
These emigrants are among our
best citizens. i am personally ac-
quainted with 200 or 300 of them.
There is not a bad or shiftless man
in the lot. They are seeking to bet
ter their conditions. They ALMOST in
variably take their families with them.
The principal reason they expatriate
themselves is the lure of cheaper lands
and less stringest land laws as to
homesteading, etc.
Congress should make our home
stead conditions as easy as possible,
compatible with safety, and should in
crease the area for home building by
judiciious encouragement by both ir-
rigation and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult cit
lien is of money value of $1,000, con-
sidered solely as an asset to the coun-
try. If this is true, the 1S45 American
farmers who crossed the Canadian
boundary depleted the assets of the re-
public that week by $2.37S,5O which
multiplied by so would make the grand
total of loss to the republic S123,6S2,-
600, gone to Canada alone"

CONGRESS MESSAGE.
PRESIDENT WILSON, IN PERSON,
STATES HIS DESIRES AS TO
CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
SAYS ACTION MUST BE TAKEN NOW
Preparations Made to Begin Work on
Administration Bill-Need New
Banking Laws and Right
Away at That.

Washington.-A fixed determination
to have currency legislation passed at
this session of congress was accented
by the members of the house and SEN
ate as President Wilson's text for the
currency message, which he personal
ly presented Monday to congress as
sembled in joint session in the house
chamber.
Both Democrats and Republicans
saw in the carefully worded appeal of
the president an earnest conviction
that the money situation must be dealt
with before congress adjourns. Prep
arations were made to begin commit
tee work on the administration bill
which soon will be introduced in the
house by Representative Carter Glass
and in the senate by Senator Owen.
From the rostrum of the house
chamber the president read the brief
message.
ut plainly is clear" he said, chat it
is our duty to supply the new banking
and currency system the country
needs and that it will Immediately
need more than ever.
Must Act Now
1--WE must act now at whatever sac
rifice to ourselves. 1t is duty which
the circumstances forbid us to post
pOne. / should be recreant to nv
deepest convictions OF public obliga-
ton did l not impress it upon you with
solemn and urgent insistence."
The president defied the custom of
100 years for the second time by de-
livering the message in person.
A joint committee led by Majority
Leader Underwood and Senator Kern
met the president and escorted him to
the clerks desk ON the rostrum.
Bill This Week.
At both house and senate ends of
the capitol and among bot,l Democrats
and Republicans the conviction was
deeply fixed tonight that the presi-
dents Solemn and earnest insistence"
on currency will result in immediate
activity in the legislative branch. The
bill will go into both houses this week.
Many Republican senators were of
the opinion. that the presidents mes
sage was a flat declaration congress
must act at once on the currency ques-
ton. They believe it sets forth the
presidents position, as being so posi-
tive on that point that he would call
another extra session of congress if
necessary to dispose of the matter.
Although a house caucus has been
called for this week, it is probable that
it will not take any definite action on
the currency bill

FOR MARSHALL STATUE.
Senate Committee Recommends Pass
age of Swanson Bill.

The Senate Library Committee has
recommended the passage of the
Swanson bill, which calls for
an appropriation of SIS. 900,
for the erection of statue to Chief
Justice John Marshall Of Virginia,
in the corridor Of the United States
Circuit Court room in the Federal
building at Richmond.
The committees report sets forth
that Richmond was the home of the
illustrious jurist for a half century
and no more appropriate place to
honor him could be found. When Chief
Justice Marshall presided over the
United States Supreme Court he was
assigned to hear the cases in the Fed
eral Circuit Court at Richmond. He
sat in the trial of Aaron Burr at that
court.

Mr.. GLASS INDIGNANT.
REPLIES to Virginia Criticism of Dem
ocratic Currency Plan.

Indignant over the resolution urg-
ing him to abandon the monetary dec
larations in the Baltimore platform
and support the Aldrich central bank
scheme, Congressman Carter Glass,
of Lvnchburg, has sent a peppery let
ter to the representatives of the
Chambers of Commerce and Boards of
Trades of Virginia.
In the letter, Mr.. Glass, who is
chairman of the committee in charge
of the work of reconstructing the
banking end currency laws, tells the
authors of the resolution that he re-
CARDS a serious political pledge as sac
red as a business obligation and that
he intends to stand by his party's
platform.
Mr.Glas said he felt hurt that bus
mess men in his own state should ap-
peal to him to forsake his party's
political declaration. He told those
who sent the memorial to him that he
did not intend to be guided by their
advice.
"In my conception he said. there
is no distinction between personal and
political integrity, and l would as
quickly and completely distrust man
who would violate serious political
rledge as I would a man who would
dishonor a business obligation"
Further on in his letter. Mr. Glass
says: "The nature Of your preamble
and resolution is not much a matter
of surprise when it is considered that
the gentlemen who presided at your
meeting, as reported by the newspa-
pers, falsely ascribed 10 me the alb
surd statement that we can't have
currency reform because the Demo
cratic platform says re can't have
it. and when your meeting listened
with apparent approval, according
to newspaper publications, to char
acterization of Congress by Wash
'ngton professor of economics as COM
posed of ignoramuses on the sub
ject of currency.
It is a little TO be regretted that,
while the subcommittee of banking
and currency is receiving letters of
unqualified commentaries from the
great bankers, currency experts and
business men who haze appeared be-
fore it, and is being approved by a
large part of the press for its sane
ness and earnestness, IT'S chairman
should be flagrantly misrepresented
in his own state at meeting which
seemed to have as little respect for
Congress as it had for its own obl-
ton to be accurate in it's statements
and fair in it's deductions.n

Trenton. Feb. G.-President- elect
Wilson has begun work on his inaugu-

weeks. Having devoted the first three
days of the week entire:y to State bus
mess, the Governor planned to spend
the remainder of it in secluSion, out
lining the first document which he will
present as Prcsiden: Of the United
States. He indicated tha: it would be
bl;ef.
1t is likely that his first message to
the extraordinary session of Congress

gulation, will be longer, containing
specific recommendations for legisla-
tion. Just what these will be Mr.. Will
son will mt decide until he gets to
Washington.

tain his aid in procuring the passage

lar reason why he should announce his

le, Jicns before that time. -! remember
ve:y well" said the Governor, that
President Cleveland did not announce

tions and guesses until the very day
of the announcement The Governor
said he hoped he would not find it nee
essary to FLOW ahat precedent.
Mr.. Wilson was urged to appoint as

When asked about his attitude to-
ward ! he Illinois Senatorial contest

primary vote in Illinois, felt they
we're entitled to two Democratic Sena
