1--WE NEED SHIPS; WE HAVE
NOT GOT THEM"
y OLLOWING is President viii
sons annual message. deliver.
ed at the beginning of the
short term of the Sixty-third

The United States, this great
people for whom we speak and
act, should be ready az never
before to serve itself and to
serve, mankind; ready with it's
resources, it's energies, its forces
Of production and it's means Of
distribution. - We are
not ready to mobilize cur re-
sources at once. We arc not
prepared to use them imme-
diately and at their best, with
out delay and without waste.
To speak plainly, we have
grossly erred in the way in
which we have stunted and him
dered the development of our
merchant marine, and now, when
we need ships, we have not got
them.

them wide. open them before it

then. when the carriage has be.

TRAINED CITiZENRY FOR
DEFENSE.

We must depend in every time
of national peril upon
. citizenry trained and aecus-
TONED to arms. We
should encourage such training
and make it means Ct disci-
pline which our young mon will
learn to value. IL is
right, too. that the national
guard Of the states should be
developed and strengthened by
every means witch is not in
consistent with our obligations
to our own people or with the
established policy Of our gov.
ernment.

COASTS OF ALASKA

to Be Removed by Charts.
There is another matter of which |
must make special mention, If | am to
discharge my conscience. lest 1t should
escape your attention 1t may seem
very small thing. II affects only a
single item Of appropriation. But
many human lives and many great en-
terprises hang upon it. 1t is the mat
ter of making adequate provision for
the survey and charting of our coasts
1t Is Immediately pressing and exigent
in connection with the immense coast
line of Alaska. a coast line greater
than that of the United States them
selves. though 1t is also very impor-
tant indeed with regard to the older
coasts of the continent
We cannot use our great Alaskan
domain, ships viii not ply thithcr. if
those consts and their many hidden
dangers are not thoroughly surveyed
and charted The work is incomplete
at almost every point Ships and lives
have been lost in threading what were
supposed to he well known main chan
nels We have not provided adequate
vessels or adequate machinery for the
survey and charting. We have used
old vessels that were not big enough
or strong enough and which were so
nearly unseawOrthy that our inspectors
would not have allowed private own
ers to send them to sea. This is a
matter which. as have said. seems
small. but is in reality very great Its
Importance has only to be looked into
to be appreciated.

Easily Decided
This Question Should Be An swered Easily by Putnam
 People

Which is wiser-to have confidence in the opinions of your fellow-citizens, of people you know, or depend on statements made by utter strangers re- siding in far-away places? Read the following:
 Charles H. Potter, 63 Walnut street, Putnam, Conn.,, says: "l had bad fall some years ago and after that l suffered from kidney trouble. My back was very lame and stiff, especial Iy when arose in the morning. There was also a distressing kidney weak ness. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills highly advertised, got box at Dres- ser's Drug Store and began using them. A few doses helped me and before long every symptom of my trouble disap- peared. I have been free from kidney complaint since. I do not hesitate to confirm my former public endorse ment.n

 At this discriminating crisis for the son the father hastily strode into the library. He had been aroused by the Inspectors shouting and was evidently greatly perturbed.
