Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi

upon our own principles of right and

quarter it may come, the aggression we
ourselves will not practice. We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines of national development
We do more than that We demand it
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and

ever there Is people that tries to walk
in these difficult paths of independence

domination as that we ourselves should

Out of such thoughts grow all our

The need of a special flag for the
president was frequently felt. especial
ly when visiting royalty was entertain
ed in this country. In August. 1882.
it was directed by the secretary Of the
navy that 'fhe tiag Of the president Of
the United States shall consist OF q
blue ground. with the arms of the
United States in the center. Tie dag
shall be hoisted at the mainmast of
the vessel of war while the president
is on board and shall be carried in the

For years after this the national flag
was used for indicating the presence
of the vice president or Of an ex-presi-
dent. but this use was more or less
confusing. and besides. it was argued.
the stars and stripes properly stand
for the nation rather than any in

for the vice president was adopted.

to the increased cost of carrying out

On the Both of June last there was

fund of the treasury of $104, 40. 1878
The total estimated receipts for the
year 1916, on the assumption that the
emergency revenue measure passed by
the last congress will not be extended
beyond its present limit, the 31st of
December. 1915, and that the present
duty of / cent per pound on sugar will
be discontinued after the LIST of May
1916. will be S670. 365.500. The balance
of June last and these estimated rev.
enues come therefore to a grand total
of $774,535 G05.7S. The total estimated
disbursements for the present fiscal
year. including twenty-five millions for
the Panama canal. twelve. millions for
probable deficiency appropriations and
$4,000 for miscellaneous debt redemp
lions. will be S753 .S91 900. and the bal
ance in the general fund of the treas
ury' will be reduced to $20.G44. COSTS

on sugar if continued would produce
during the two months of the fiscal
year remaining after the 1st of MAY
about fifteen millions. These two sums
amounting together TO ffty-six mil

REGULATIONS TO MEET
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Needed TO Make Lines More Useful
Servants of Country.

0STNSuko VI OO9hsa
In the meantime may ! make this
suggestion? The transportation prob
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one in this country. There
has from time TO time Of late been rea-
son to fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able to cope with
it successfully. as at present equipped
and co-ordinated. suggest that 1t
would be wise to provide for COM
mission of inquiry to ascertain by a
thorough canvass of the whole ques-
ton whether our laws as at present
framed and administered are as serv-
iceable as they might be in the soiu-
ton of the problem. 1t is obviously
q problem that lies at the very foun-
dalton of our efficiency as a people.
Such an inquiry ought TO draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering. and we need TO know
all sides of the matter If we mean to
do anything in the field of federal leg
islation.
No one, am sure, would wish TO
take any backward step. The regula-
ton of the railways of the country by
federal commission has had admirable
results and has fully justified the
hopes and expectations OF those by
whom the policy of regulation was
originally proposed The question is
not, What should we undo? 1t is
whether there is anything else we can
do that would supply US with effective
means. in the very process Of regu-
Iation. for lettering the conditions I'M
der which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful sery-
ants of the country as a whole. 1t
seems to me that 1t might be the part
of wisdom. therefore. before further
legislation in this field is attempted,
to look at the whole problem Of co-or-
dination and efficiency in the full light
Of a fresh assessment Of circumstance
and opinion. as guide to dealing with
the several parts OF it.
For what we are seeking now. what
in my mind is the single thought OF
this message. is national efficiency and
security We serve a great nation.
We should serve it in the spirit OF its
peculiar genius 1t is the genius Of
common men for self government. In
dustry. justice liberty and peace We
should see 10 if that il lacks no In
strument. no facility or vigor OF law.
TO make it sufficient 10 play its part
With energy safety and assured sue
cess In this we are no partisans but
heralds and prophets Of a new age.

But war has never been mere mat

are ever to fight effectively upon
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting is done. and what
to do when the summons comes to

the government must be their servant
in this matter, must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
themselves and of it The military
arm of their government, which they
will not allow to direct them. they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and not
their own independence merely. but
the rights also of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
in the world. and particularly in this
