(Special to Times.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The
special message of the president to
congress on the subject of employers
liability act and injunctions, in labor
cases was presented in tho senate a
few minutes after twelve o'clock to
day. But a handful of senators were
present. The vico president at once
handed tho message to the assistant
secretary of tho senate who imme
diately began its reading. Printed
copies were distributed to tho sen
ators present Many of them ap
peared satisfied concerning the na
ture of the message by scanning tho
printed document so that before the
reading was half finished they very
generally took up other matters, only
n few folowed tho reading carefully
until it's conclusion.
At tho conclusion and when strik
ing passages were read many senat
ors looked around the chamber and
exchanged smiles. Tillman seemed
especially pleased. Tho reading of
tho messago in tho house was listen
ed to with intense Interest by the
members of whom there was an un
unusually largo number in attend
ance. On conclusion Senator Davis
moved that 10,000 copies be printed
as a public document.
"It is tho best democratic doctrine
I ever heard emanting from a repub
lican source." he said. The motion
was agreed to without an argument.
During the reading in tho house tbo
members were heard audibly to ex
claim, "Most unusual," "This is red
hot," and at its conclusion tho mem
bers without regard to party loudly
applauded, cheered, stamped desks
and gave other evidences of their ap
proval. After a moment's silence
the applause broke out again, and
several members including many of
tho democrats arose clapping their
hands.
In his message the president urges
tho immediate reenactment of the
employers' liability law recently held
unconstitutional, limiting its scope
so that it applys only to that of cases
to which tho supremo court says It
can constitutionally apply. Concern
ing injunction in labor cases he says
in part: "Even if possible, I should
consider it most unwise to abolish

tho use of the process of injunction,
there is no question but that it is
sometimes issued heedlessly and un
justly. The process should be sur
rounded with safeguards to protect
Individuals against being enjoined
from exercising their proper rights."
He urges amending the Sherman
act to provide for effective and
thorough goihg supervision by the
national government of all the opera
tions of the big interstate business
concerns: to provide against all com
binations of whatever character, tech
nically in restraint of trade, as such
restraint has been defined by courts
must necessarily either be futile or
mischievous and sometimes both. It
Is desirable that in connection with
the measures to restrain stock water
ing and over capltalication there
should be measures to prevent at
least the grosser forms of gambling
in tho securities and commodities
such as making large sales of what
men do not possess and cornering
tho market. He says the federal
government should exercise supervi
sion over the financial operations of
our Interstate railroads, and that the
outcry against stopping the dishonest
practices among wrong doers who
happen to bo wealthy is precisely
similar to tho outcry raised against
every effort for cleanliness and de
cency in city government because,
forsooth, it "hurts business."
Business which is hurt by a move
ment of honesty is the kind of busi
ness in the long run, it pays tho
country to have hurt.

TRAINING FOR
SCHOOL ROYS
Course of Industrial Education
for Youngsters Who Work
With Hands.
PRESIDENT A PRIME MOVER
Trade Schools to Be Established us
Part of National Educational
Equipment.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. Berore an
audienco of 500 representatives of
manufacturing, commercial and edu
catipnal interests of the middle
west, four men presented the first
comprehensive program of a new in
dustrial education for the youngster
who works with his hands.
The occasion was the opening ses
sion of tho first convention of the
National Society for the Promotion
of Industrial of Education, held at
the Auditorium hotel. The four men
were Theodore Roosevelt, president
of the United States (by letter) ;
Charles W. Elliot, president of Har
vard University; James W. Van
l Cleave, president of the National
Manufacturers' Association, and H.
L. Pritchett, president of the Car
neglo Foundation.
"On the boy who goes into the
trades," said one of tho speakers,
"depends a mere possibility to re
tain the Industrial supremacy given
by the country's natural resources,
and toward the hoy who goes into
the trades the educational efforts
of tho next decade must be directed."
"My interest in this movement,"
wroto President Roosevelt, "arises
more .than all else out of a desire
to see the American boy have his
best opportunity for development."
Make Practical Suggestions.
Direct, practical suggestions for
tho establishment of a system of
trade schools as a part of the edu
cational equipment were the under
lying note of tho addresses.
Briefly summarized, the program
outlined by tho various speakers ap
peared as follows:
Introduction of trade ichool train
ing in elementary schools through
out tho country.
Establishment of a combination of
school and shop instruction to oc
cupy the time between the ages of
4 and 17. Advancing tho compul
sory education age to 17 or 18.
Establishment of a system by
which elementary school teachers
shall "sort children according to
their ability."
Abolishment of tho idea of abso
lute democracy In tho public schools.
Formation of a special education
commission to organize a trade
school system. Creation of an In
dustrial branch In all schools
throughout the country.
To Pavo Front Street. A move
ment is on foot to pavo Marshfield's
Market Street, Front street. Tho
plan now is to lay down a four Inch
concrete base with a one inch sand
cushion on which will rest eight
inch blocks of cedar. The inter
vening spaces will bo filled with
gravel and the whole will be sur
faced off with asphalt. As Front
street may bo said to be tho first
real glimpse which strangers have
of Marshfleld, tho pavement will
servo tho double puropso of giving
them favorable impressions and ad
ding to the beauty of tho down
town district.

SHORTEN LIFE
Says Dr. Wiley in Report to
House Committee on Agri
culture. CAUSE OF KIDNEY DISEASE
Plnn to Teach Farmers How to
Make Denatured Alcohol From
Ranch Waste.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. -Dr. W.
H. Wiley, chief of tho bureau of
chemistry of the department of ag
riculture, reported today to tho
house committee on agriculture the
results of experiments conducted by
tho bureau to determine tho poison
ous effect on tho human system of
such drugs as borax, benzoic acid,
benzoate of soda, sulphate of cop
per, sulphur dlroxide, formaldehyde
and salicylic acid when contained In
foodstuffs.
Dr. Wiley said that the expulsion
of those and kindred drugs from the
body Is performed almost entirely
by tho kidneys, and that he is satis
fied the term of American life would
be lengthened if the use of such
drugs in foods were wholly discon
tinued. He said he was convinced
that kidney disease, so prevalent
among Americans, Is partly tho re
suit of constant introduction into the
system of such preservative sub
stances as benzoate of soda carried
in .foodstuffs. Discussing sulphur dl
roxide and Its effects, Dr. Wiley told
the committee of a discovery just
made by him that salt solution Is a
perfect substitute for sulphur In the
whitening and drying of fruits.
Tho committee was informed by
Dr. Wiley of plans to teach the farm
ers of tho United States to make de
natured alcohol. Next August ho
purposes to operate a still at the bu
reau of chemistry, producing a dena
tured alcohol daily from damaged
fruit and vegetable substances such
as can be bought cheaply in tho
market. He has Invited all agri
cultural colleges to send a represen
tative to Washington to observe his
still and master the process of dist
illation. "Denatured alcohol," said Dr.
Wiley, "can be manufactured from
farm waste. Tho farmers ought to
avail themselves of tho new law per
mitting it to bo made without im
position of revenue tax."

upon the prosecution throughout tho
