THE MESSAGE.
President RooseveIt---An
torial Picture by The
Telegram.
Edi-
President Roosevelt's message
to the first session of the fifty-
ninth Congress treats in detail of
forty distinct subjects, appertain
ing to the domestic and ioreign
affairs of the United States. All
.of the matters treated in the mes
sage are of practical import to
the welfare of the country in one
direction or another. The range
of the topics is wide, from the
suggestion of the legislative rem
edy for the suppression of the
smoke nuisance in the City of
Washington to the wider discus
sion of the Monroe Doctrine in
its later application and the en
couragement of sentiment favor
ing a permanent international
peace arrangement, as the hope
to that end now lies in The
Hague Tribunal. The subject
receiving the least direct and ex
plicit attention is the tariff; that
which is dwelt upon at greatest
length and with most particu
larity is the impending question
concerning Federal regulation
and supervision of railroad rates.
The ruling characteristic of
the document is ideality of tone.
In the wnting President Roose
velt has to a considerable extent
adopted the art an style of the
homilist; but with this he has
Dot neglected t be practic 1, nor
has he allowed his vision of the
higher grounds and the wider
possibilities of the government to
interfere with his appreciation of
existing conditions and ex
igencies. In this respect the
message is a remarkable docu
ment. Much of it will go over
the head of the man who prides
himself on being intensely prac
tical; but its appeal tor the better
standard in private and political
conduct is strong to the average
conscience.
The keynote of the message as
we accept its wider application
is for the universality of interests
either for good or ill; urging at
tention to the troths which make
for the better man and conse
quently for the better government.
"Taken as a whole," says the
President, in his introduction,
'we all go up or go down to
gether;" and again he says: "In
the long run the one vital factor
in the prosperity of the country
is the high individual character
of the average American worker,
the average American citizen, no
matter whether his work be men
tal or manual, whether he be a
farmer or wageworker, business
man or professional man."
Throughout the entire docu
ment, in whatever recommen
dation" is made or discussed,
President Roosevelt maintains
this high standard. ' He addresses
the Congressional National heart
as well as the head. His appeal
is to the cultivation of higher
National attributes as to the
policies that will strengthen and
enhance material attainments.
He stands for National justice
and National honor first as both
of these have domestic and for
eign application and for Na-
tional profit that is based thereon
afterwards. He forgets not the
things that should be done, nor
the difficulties which beset the
doing, but he keeps in mind the
high spirit in which their accom
plishment should be undertaken.
As the public hadjreason to ex
pect, the chief topic in the mes
sage, the one that is given pre
cedence both in place and im
portance, is that pertaining to
proposed rate legislation. There
are other subjects treated at al
most equal length, but none bears
the mark of the President's par
ticular solicitude in such measure
as this. The subject of immi
gration, touching the character
of acquired citizenship; that of
, insurance abases; seeking the
purification of Federal' election
methods; the attitude of this
country toward the permanent
maintenance of peace; the Army
and Navy, and especially the lat
ter; our insular possessions, not
ably the Philippines and Hawaii;
the Canal; the Department of
State, with special reference to
the improvemen of the Consular
service; the admission of the ter
ritories, and the recognition of
Alaska's demand for reoresenta
tion all of these receive at the
President's hand explicit and
comprehensive treatment. But
the subject of the rate legislation,
u'nder the sub-title of . "cor
porations," bringing in incident
to the topics of labor, hours of
service upon the railroads and
employers' liability, comes . first
on the list, and by its treatment
it is made to stand out promin
ently from the rest.
There is general public fa
miliarity with President Roose
velt's views on this subject.
His message is a reiteration and
strengthening of his well-known
attitude. Disclaiming antagon
ism to corporate interests; on
the contrary, according to the
corporation its due measure of
merit in modern-day industry,
the President maintains the. uh
anawerable logic that it is within
the province and duty of the
Federal Government to exercise
regularitory and supervisory pow
ers over the agencies of inter
state transportation It is shown
that this lies within the Govern
ment's province by reason of con
stitutional declaration, and with
in its duty as protecting its citi
zens, including the well mten-
tioned managers of railroad in
terests, against the encroachments
of a erowino' power exercised
without responsibility.
It is held as a matter ot prime
importance that the Government
should avoid the harmful effects
of corporate energies exercised in
ways that are against -the com
mon good ; that we face a con
dition where interstate transpor
tation corporations, by reason of
the inefficiency of state control
and the denial of Federal control,
stands as a snbject without a sov
ereign; and that "our steady aim
should be," in the language ot
the President, "by legislation
cautiously and carefully under
taken, but resolutely persevered
in, to assert the sovereignty of
the National Government by af
firmative action." ,
In the penning of this message
President Roosevelt has laid aside
none ot his admirable personalitv.
There is abundant recognition on
his part of awakening public
conscience to whicn an appeal
from the high altitudes can be
successfully made. The tone of
the message evinces an abound
ing faith in the people. It is a
state paper that does credit to
this eminent apostle of the bet
ter National life.
