THE ISLANDS.

These are all matters of vital domestic
concern. and besides them. outside the
charmed circle of our own national life
in which our affections command us. as
well as u cOnsciences. there stand ont
our obligations toward our territories
over sea. Here we are trustees. Porto
Rico. Hawaii. the Philippines. are ours.
indeed. but not ours to do what We please
with. Such territories. once regarded as
mere possessions. are no longer to be self
ishly exploited: they are part Of the DO
main OF public conscience and of service
able and enlightened craftsmanship. We
must administer them for the people who
live in them and with the same sense
Of responsibility to them as toward our
W people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt w shall successfully enough bind
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands to
ourselves by ties Of justice and interest
ana q section. but the performance of our
duty toward the Philippines is a more
difficult and debatable matter. We can
satisfy the obligations Of generous jns-
tice toward the people Of Porto Rico by
giving them the ample and familiar
rights and privileges accorded orr own
citizens in enr own territories and epr
obligations toward the people Of Hawaii
by perfecting the provisions for self
government already granted them, but in
the Philippines we must 60 further. we
must hold steadily in view their ultimate
independence. and we must move toward
the time Of that independence as steadily
as the way can be cleared and the foun-
dations thoughtfully and permanently
laid.

ALASKA SHOULD BE UNLOCKED.

A duty faces us with regard to Alaska
which seems to me very pressing and very
Imperative; perhaps i should say a dou-
bic duty. for it concerns both the polifi-
cal and the material development Of the
territory. The people of Alaska should
be given the full territorial form of gov
ernmcnt. and Alaska, as n s~tOrehOuAe.
should be unlocked. One KEY to it is a
system of railways. These the govern
ment should itself build and administer.
and the ports and terminals il should
itself control in the interest of all who
wish to use them for the service and de-
velOpment of the country and its people.
But the construction of railways il only
the first step; is only thrusting in the
KEY to the s%tOrehousc and throwing back
the lock and opening the door. How the
tempting resources of the country are
to be exploited is another matter. to
which I shall take the liberty Of from
time to time calling your attention. for
III is a policy which must be worked out
by well-cOnsidcred stages, not upon the
DRY. hut upon lines of practical expedi-
.ency. 1t is part of III general problem
of conservation. We have a freer hand
in working out the problem in Alaska
than in the States Of the Union: and vet
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 conflict or jealousy
as between State and Federal authorities
for there can he no essential difference
Of purpose between them. The resources
in question must be used. hut not de
stroyed or wasted used. hut not monop0-
liked upon any narrow idea Of, individual
rights as against the abiding interests
of communities. That a policy can he
worked out by conference and<concessior
which will release these resources and
yet not leopard or dissipatc them. I for
one have no doubt and it can be lone on
lines of regulation which need be no less
acceptable to the people and govern
mentS Of the States concerned than to
the people and Government of the Nation
at large. whose heritage these ~rsources
are. We must bcnd our cOunseIs to this
end. A common purpose Ought to make
IA reCment easy.
Three or o u matters of special impOr-
tance and significance | beg that you will
permit me to mention i'm closing.
Our Bureau Of Mines ought to be equip
ped and empowered to render even more
effcctual service han it renders now in
improving the conditions of mine labor
and making the mines more economically
productive as well as more safe. This is
an all-important part 81 the work or
conservation: and the conservation OF
human life and energy lies even nearer
to our interest than the preservation
from waste of u material resources.

that we should as much as possible re

No doubt we shall all wish. and the coun-

subject of our deliberations during the

many sided and so deserving Of careful

take the liberty of addressing you upon
it in a special message at a later date

that the business men of his country
