President Sends Message to
Congress Urging That Body
to Enact Laws.
ACTION DEMANDED
FOR PUBLIC GOOD.
Declares That Delay Will Cause
People to Vent Wrath and
Over Do Things.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 28. Presi
dent Roosevelt has again found it
necessary to remind congress that it
must get busy and enact legislation
that tho country sorely needs. Ho
says that if congress does not act
soon that tho people's wrath will
result In tho reforms being over
done. In his message, he says, in
part:
"In my message to the Congress of,
March 25, 1908, I outlined certain
measures which I believe tho major
ity of our countrymen desire to have
enacted Into law at this time. These
measures do uot represent by any
means till that I would like to see
done If I thought it possible, but they
do represent what I believe can
now be done if an earnest effort to
ward this end is made.
"Since I wrote this message an
employer's liability law has been en
acted, which, it Is true, comes short
of what ought to have been done but
which does represent a real advance.
Apparently thero is good ground to
hope that there will be further legis
lation providing for recompensing
all employes who suffer injury while
engaged in the public service; that
there will be a child labor law en
acted for tho district of Columbia;
that the Water Ways Commission
will bo continued with sufficient fi
nancial support to increase the ef
fectiveness of its preparatory work;
that steps will be taken to provide
for such investigations into tariff
conditions by the appropriate com
mittee of tho House of Representa
tlves and by' government experts in
tho executivo service as will secure
the full information necessary for
intelligently revising tho tariff at
the hands of the congress elected
next fall, and finally, that financial
legislation will be enacted providing
for the temporary measures for
meeting any trouble that may arise
in the next year or two and for a
commission of experts who shall
thoroughly investigate the whole
matter, both here and in the great
commercial countries so as to be ablo
to recommend legislation which will
put our financial system on an effi
cient and permanent basis. It is
much to be wished that one feature
of the financial legislation of this
session should bo the establishment
of postal savings banks. Ample ap
propriation should be made to en
able tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission to carry out tho very im
portant feature of the Hepburn law
which gives to tho commission super
vision and control over the account
ing systems of the railroads. Fail
ure to provide means which will en
able tho commission to examine tho
books of the railways would amount
to an attack on the law at its most
vital point and would benefit as no
thing else could benefit those rail
ways which are corruptly or Incom
pletely managed.
"Forest reserves should be estab
lished throughout tho Appalachian
mountain region wherever it can be
shown that they will have a direct
and real connection with the con
servation and improvement of navig
ablo rivers.
Uso of Injunction.
"There seems, however, much
doubt about two of the measures I
nave recommended: Tho measure
to do away with abuse of the power
of injunction .and the measure or
group of measures to strengthen and
render both more efficient and more
wise tho control by tho national tho industrial world, who uy ins lacK
government over tho great corpora- of sympathy with and lack of under

powor of tninnoHnn nnrt of niinlsh-

tIons solne such legislation as that I
have previously recommended should
be enacted. They are those, who fail
to realize tho extreme bitterness
caused among large bodies of worthy
citizens by the use that has been re
peatedly 'made of the power of the
injunction in labor disputes. Those
in whose judgment we have most
right to trust are of opinion that
while most of the complaint against
the use of the Injunction is unwar
ranted', yet that It is unquestionably
true that in a number of cases this
power has been used to the grave in
jury of the rights of laboring men.
I ask that It be limited in some
such way as that I have already
pointed out in my previous messages
for the very reason that I do not
wish to see an embittered effort
mado to destroy it.
Listen to People.
"It Is unwise to stubbornly refuse
to provide against a repetition of
the abuses which lmve caused the
present unrest. In a democracy like
ours it is idle to expect permanent
ly to thwart the determination of the
great body of our citizens. It may
bo and often is the duty of a court,
n leclslature or an executive to re3i3t
and defy a cust of nonular passion:
and most certainly no public servant
whatever may be the consequences
to himself, should yield to what he
thinks wrong. But in a question
which is emphatically one of public
policy, tho policy which the public
demand is sure to be adopted in the
end and a persistent refusal to grant
to a large portion of our people
what is right is only too apparent
In the end to result in causing such
irritation that when the right is ob
tained it is obtained in a movement
so 11-consdered and violent as to be
accompanied by much that is wrong.
Class Hatred Evil.
"Every far-sighted patriot should
protest, first of all, against the
growth in this country of that evil
thing which is called "class-con
sciousness." Tho demagogue, the
sinister visionary who strives to
arouse this feeling of class con
sciousness In our working people,
does a foul and evil thing; for he Is
no true American; he is no self-re
specting citizen of this Republic; ha
forfeits his right to stand with man
ly self-reliance on a footing of entire
equality with ail other citizens who
bows to envy and greed, who erects
this doctrine of class hatred into a
shibboleth, who substitutes loyalty
to men of a particular status, wheth
er rich or poor, for loyalty to the
eternal and immutable principles of
righteousness which bid us treat
each man on his worth as a man
without regard to his wealth or hh
poverty. But evil though tho In
fluence of theso demagogues and
vislonnries Is, it Is no worse in its
consequence than tne innuenco ex
ercised by the man of great wealth
or the man of power and position in
hibltlon of uncompromising hostility
to tho millions or our worung peopie,
tends to unite them against their
fellow Americans who aro lietter off
in this world's goods."

BIG DEMAND
FOR BONDS
Pennsylvania Railway Issue
of $40,000,000 Over Sub
scribed on First Day.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 28. The
subscription for $20,000,000 of the
40,000,000 issue of Pennsylvania
railway bonds has opened. It is said
that the subscriptions amount to
$120,000,000.
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, April 2S. The Penn
sylvania railway issue of four per
cent bonds to the amount of $20,
000,000 here was over subscribed
many times.
The rapidity with which the bonds
were taken is a surprise to financiers
generally who feared that tho finan
cial situation would make it difficult
and that the anti-railroad legislation
recently enacted would make in
vestc s, home and abroad, fight shy
of railway securities. It indicates
that the financial condition and the
return of confidence is better than
many have believed.
Coos Bay Will Have Only Wo
man Weather Observer In
This Section.
PORTLAND, April 28. Mrs. E.
Mlngus, wife of Dr. Mlngus of
Marshfleld, will be appointed weath
er bureau observer at Coos Bay, and
she will have the distinction of be
ing the only woman In the service In
this district. District Forecaster E.
A. Beats has decided to make the
appointment and left for Coos Bay
on the steamer Alliance to Install
the Instruments required for record
ing weather and wind.
Coos Bay has not been represented
on the weather map published dally
by the local bureau because Mr.
Bcals had no one there to furnish
the reports. The country is grow
ing rapidly and Mr. Beals finally
secured permission from the chief
of the bureau to give Marshfleld re
cognition and place it on the map.
Daily reports will be received
from there as soon as the machinery
has been installed and these will be
of great benefit to the local office
as well as to the people of Coos Bay
because tho weather there has mate
rial effeat upon conditions here.
Heretofore the weather at Coos Bay
'has not been officially recognized in
the local office, but Dr. Mlngus has
taken Interest enough in it to have
'kept a meteorological record for sev
eral years. He is too busy, however,
to devote special attention to tho
weather, so Mr. Beals explains, and
hence the appointment of Mrs. Mln

DISTRICT HERE
Is Expected to Follow the Plac
ing of Harriman Bond Issue.
May 5th.
SECURITIES WILL
BE FLOATED EASILY-
S. P. Shutt, Editor of Drain
Nonpareil, Writes of Status
Of Line.
According to advices received on
Coos Bay, the construction of tho-Drain-Coos
Bay railway will be
resumed very shortly after May 5thr
when E. H. Harriman will float his
$80,000,000 bond issue to cover im
provements and extensions. Much
preliminary work has already been
done this spring and it is presumed
that the weather and the uncertain
ty of the financial situation, which
has been rapidly improving, nave
caused the delay.
That there will be no trouble in
floating the big bond Issue is evi
denced by the rapidity with which
tho Pennsylvania's bond issue is be
ing taken in the East and England,
Associated Press telegraph advices,
indicating that the $40,000,000 was
subscribed several times over on tho
first day of opening the bids. Har
riman projects recently have been
easier to finance than any other so
it is not believed he will encounter
any trouble now.
In order to find as nearly as pos
sible the status of the line, Sec,
Walter Lyon wrote a letter to S. IV
Shutt, editor of the Drain Non
pareil, and has received the follow
ing reply:
Everything is Ready.
"Everything is apparently ready
to resume work on the construction
of the Drain-Coos Bay railroad, but
for some unaccountablo reason,
work has not yet begun. The last
of tho steel bridge material arrived
here only two weeks ago for about
thirty bridges which ought to reach
almost to Coos Bay. This material
Is piled up hero, covering three long,
side tracks. Tho material is made
expressly for this road and therefore
it is unlikely that it could possibly
bo moved away for use elsewhere.
"There Is also stored here about
0,000 barrels of cement for the piers,
about an equal amount at Scottsburg:
and the same quantity at Reedsport.
"The new road Is partly graded
for a distance of fifteen or twenty
miles from here and the track laid?
for two miles; four large steoll
bridges have been completedr rfghC
of way bought and paid for to Scotts
burg, thirty-six miles west of here,
and the balance of tho routo sur
veyed to Coos Bay.
"The old tunnell contractors ar
rived here threo weeks ago and an
nounced that they came to resume
work on the three largo tunnels near
Elkton and that all was in readiness-.
to resume active operations all along"
tho line.
"Agents for tho Southern Paclflc
"Rallway Company, a month or two
ago, bought all the hay for sale be
tween J' ere and Gardiner, and it
looked like work was to begin at
last, but nothing is doing yet, and'
I am unable to get official announce
ment Just when it will start. It Is
very mysterious tho way tho mattor
is allowed to drag along.
P. S. Just as I finished this, I
learned that another Southern Paci
fic agont had arrived hero to buK
more supplies, principally hay."
