ASTORIA OREGON, MONDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1903. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE (Continued from page one.) la between different individuals; that Is, it is drawn on conduct, the effort being fa" treat both organized capital and organ teed labor alike; asking nothing save that the Interest' of each hall be brought into harmony with the Interest of the general public, and that' the conduct of each shall conform to the fundamental rules of obedience to law,' of individual freedom, and of Jus tice and fair dealing towards all. Whenever either corporation, labor union, or Individual disregards the law or acts In a spirit of arbitrary and ty rannous Interference with the rights of Others, whether corporations or indi viduals, then: where the federal gov ernment baa jurladlotiim. It will see to it that the misconduct Is stopped, pay ing not the slightest heed W the posi tion or power of the corporation, the union or the individual, but only to one vital tact that is, the question whether or not the conduct of the Individual or , aggregate of individuals Is In accord nce With the law 'of the land. Every ;. man must be guaranteed his liberty and his right to do as he likes with his f property.or his labor.so long as lie does not infringe the rights of 'Others. Uo I man Is above the law and no man Is ; below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to "obey it. Obedience to the law is de V mantled as a tight; not asked as a favor. ,;: '-'!)' V. ; f We have cause as a nation to be f thankful for the , steps that have been so successful taken to put these principles Into effect. VThe progress has been by evolution; not by revolution.! Nothing radical has been done; the action has been both .moderate and resolute. Therefore the work will stand. There shall be no backward step. If in the working of the liws It proves desirable that they slmll at any point be expanded or am-, pllfled, the amendment can be made as its desirability Is shown. ; Meanwhile they are being administered with judg ment, but with insistence upon obed ience to them; and their need has been emphasized in signal fashion by the events of the past year. MERCHANT MARINE. .''.A majority of our people desire that steps be taken in the Interests of Amer ican shipping, so that we may once more resume our former position In the ocean carrying trade. But bltherto the differences of opinion as to the proper method of reaching this end have been so wide that it has proved impossible to secure the adoption of any particular scheme. Having In view these facts, I recommend that the congress direct the secretary of the navy, the postmaster-general, and the secretary of com merce and labor, associated with such a' representation from the senate and house of representatives as the con gress in its wisdom may designate, to serve as a commission for the purpose of investigating and reporting to the congress at its next session what legis lation Is desirable or necessary for the development of the American merchant marine and the American commerce, and lncldently of a national mall ser vice of adequate auxiliary naval cruis ers' and naval reserves, While such a measure Is desirable In any event, It Is especially desirable at this time. Our service should equal the bestlf it does not, the commercial public will aban don It. If we ara'to stay In the busi ness It ought to be with a full under standing of the advantages to the coun try o none hand, and on the other with exact knowledge of the cost and proper methods of carylng It on. Moreover, lines of cargo ships are of even more Importance than fast, mall lines; save so far as the latter can be depended'up on to furnish swift auxiliary cruisers In time of war. The establishment of new lines of cargo ships to SouthAmer lca, to Asia, and elsewhere would be much in the Interests of our commercial expansion, IMMIGRATION, We can not have too much Immigra. tilon of the right kind, and wa should have nono at all of the wrong kind. The need Is to devise some system by which undesirable immigrants shall bet kept out entirely, while desirable Immi grants are properly distributed through cut the country. At present some dis tricts which , need Immigrants have none; and In others, where the popu lation la already congested, Immigrants come In such numbers aa to depress the condition of lift for those already there. During the last two years the immigration service at New Tork has been (greatly improved, and the cor ruption and Inefficiency which formerly ' Creates good-will between buyer and seller- Schilling's Best at your grocer's, and tnoneyback. obtained there have been eradicated. ' INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION There seems to be good ground or the belief that there has been, atrieal growth among the civilized nations of a sentlm?nt which will permit a grad ual substitution of other methods than the method of war In the settlement of disputes. It Is not pretended that as yet we are near a position in which It will be 'possible wholly to prevent ar, or that a Just iegard for national,. In terests and honor will in all cases per mit of settlement of international dis putes by arbitration; but by a mixture of prudence and firmness with wisdom we think It' Is possible to do away with tvmeh o the provocation and excuse for war, and at least In many cases to sub stitute some other and more rational method for the settlements of disputes. The Hague court offers so good an ex ample of what can be done in the di rection ' of ' such '" aettl'ement that It should be encouraged In every way. - . LEWIS & CLARK FAIR. ' The centennial of bur establishment upon the western coast by the expe dition of Lewis and Clark Is to be cel ebrated at Portland, Oregon, by an ex position In the summer of 1905, and this event should receive recognition and support from the national government.. DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA, f I call your special attention to the ter rltory of Alaska. The country Is devel oping rnpldly, and It has an assured fu ture. The mineral wealth Isfereat and has as, yet hardly been tapped. The fisheries, if wisely handled and kept under national control, will be a busi ness as permanent as any other, and of the utmost lmportace to the people. The forests If properly guarded will form another great source of wealth. Portions of Alaska, are fitted for farm ing and 'stock raising, although the methods must be adopted to the pecul iar conditions of the country. Alaska is situated In the far north; but so are Norway and Sweden and Finland; and Alaska can prosper and play its part in the New World Just as those nations have prospered and played their parts In the Old World. Proper Jand laws should be enacted and the, survey Of Ihe public lands immediately begun. Coal-land laws should be provided whereby the coal-land entryman may make his location and secure patent under methods kindred to those now entrymen. ; Salmon hatcheries, exclus ively under government control, should prescribed for homestead and mineral be established. The cables should be extended from Sitka westward. Wagon roads and trails should be built, and the building of railroads prompted in all legitimate ways. Light-houses should be built along the coast. Atten tion should be paid to the needs of the Alaska Indians; provisions should be made for an officer, with deputies, to study their needs, relieve their immedi ate wants, help them adopt themselves to the new conditions. ALASKA SALMON FISHERIES. The commission appointed to investi gate, during the season of 1903, the con dition and needs of the Alaska salmon fisheries has finished Its work In the field, and Is preparing a detailed report thereon, A preliminary repon cuius the measures Immediately required for the protection and preservation of the salmon Industry has already been sub mitted to the secretary of commerce and labor for his attention and for his ne'eded action. , NEW BARGAINS FOR TODAY Toke Point and Shoalwater bay oys ters at the Imperial chop house.
