THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message OF President Wilson,
delivered in person, 10 congress last
Tuesday deals wholly with domestic
questions IL il quite probable that
the important foreign questions will
be taken up in special messages later
on
The question that gets by far the
greater part Of his attention is that
OF the railroad situation as regards
the matter OF strikes and wage in
crease. II was expected that a recomz
mendation Of an increase In railroad
rates would be included but IL was
not.
The president seems to have profit
ed by the experience OF the campaign
for, while he defends his action in
forcing the Adamson law, he empha-
sizes the compulsory arbitration sug-
gestion and defends IL against the at
tacks of the labor organizations.
Particular stress is placed upon the
necessity for the control Of railroads
by the executive in times OF war. He
also advises the enlargement Of the
interstate commerce commission by
the addition OF more members

THE board OF state canvassers

cinct OF jackson. where the canai-
date declares enough were ig
nored 10 seat him. II there is any
doubt "a TO other precincts in the
districts the ballots there should
also be examined and properly
credited.

Technicalities should not be
