eminent policy fo
Ijiportant Points of President's
Communication to Congress
trtn.il con.li'
cood than thr
The main point brought ont by the prei
dent in hi annual message to eongrcaa, dcliv
rred December 4, follow :
I Aff.iin recommend a law prohibiting
Corporation from contributing to thr caniiuign
expenses of any party. Such a bill has al
reaity passed ore house of congress. I.ct in
dividuals contribute as they desire; but let us
5rohihn in effective fashi-m ail coi potatioi-.s
roin making contribution!? for any political
purpose, directly or indirectly.
Another bill which has just passed one house
of congress and wbtch it i ntKent'y- nece.. v
should be enacted into law is that conferring
upon the soernmri't the ntht of appeal in
criminal cats on tjuoMions of law. Tins right
exists in many of the slates, it evists in the
h strict of I'oluvrhia by act of the congress.
It is of course not proposed that in any case
verdict for the defendant on the merits
hould be set aside. A t .u line to p.s it will
result in seiiou' v h.in.ixrinc the nn eminent
in its elTort to obtain jiiMtcv, ep-eial!y agjint t '
ealthy indi i duals or cor pora:ion who do
u rung ; ami may n'- o pre cut the government
from obtaining i . sice lor w a;e w oi kers who
re not thems lrs aMc effectively to contest
case wlure the judgment of an interior court
has been acainst them.
In connection with this matter 1 would tike
to call attention to the virv nnvittst j.tory
Mate of our criminal law , resu ting in large
part from the, habit ot setting asnlr the juag
mctits ot interior courts on technicalities ah
solute I v unconnected with the merits of the
case, and where there is wo attempt to show
that there has been any failure of substantial
justice.
In mv last message I suggested the enact
tment of a law in connection with the issuance
of injunctions, attention hiving bevn sharply
drawn to the matter by the demand that the
fight of applvmg injunctions in labor cases
should be w holly abolished. It is at least
doubtful whether a law abolishing altogether
the use of the injunctions in such cases would
stand the test ot the courts; in w hich case
of course the legislation wouM be incrTcctive.
Moreover, I believe it would be w rong alto
gether to prohibit the use of injunctions. Hut
so far as possible the abuse of the power
should be provided acainst by some such law
aa I advocated last year.
I-awlessness grows by what it feeds upon;
and when mobs begin to lynch for rape they
speedily extend the phcre of their operations
and lynch for many other kinds of crimes,
so that two-thirds of the lynching arc not
for rape at all: whiTe a considerable propor
tion of the individuals lynched are innocent of
all crime. In my judgment, the crime of rape
should always be punished with death, as in
the case w ith murder; assault with intent to
commit rape should be made a capital crime,
at least in the discretion of the court: and pro
vision should be made by which the punish
ment may follow immediately upon the heels
of the offense; while the trial should be so
conducted that the victim need not be wan
tonlv shamed while giving testimony, and that
the least possible publicity shall be given to the
details.
I call your attention to the need of passing
the bill limitine the numher ot hours ot rm
ploy merit of railroad employes. I he measure
is a verv moderate one and I can conceive of
no serious objection to it. Indeed, so far
it is in our power, it should he our aim
steadily to reduce the number of hours of
labor, with as a coal the general introduc
tit- of an eifht-hotir dav.
The horrors incident to the employment ci
young children in factories e.r at work any
where are a blot on our civilization. It i:
true that each 5tate must ultimately settle the
question in its own way; but a thorough of
ficial inveMtration oi tne matter, with the re
sults published broadcast, would greatly help
rowara arowsing tne public conscience and se
curing unity of state action in the matter.
Among the excellent laws which the con
Kress passed at the last session was an em
ployers liability law. It was a marked step
in advance to get the recognition of em
ployers' liability on the statute books; but
the law did not go far enough. In spite of
all precautions exercised by employers there
are unavoidable accidents and even deaths
involved in nearly every line of business con
nected with the mechanic arts. If the entire
trade risk is placed upon the employer he will
promptly and properly add it to the legitimate
cost of production and assess it proportion
ately upon the consumers of his commodity.
It is therefore clear to my mind that the law
should place this entire "risk of a trade" upon
the employer. Neither the federal law nor. as
far as I am informed, the state laws dealing
with the question of employers' liability are
sumcienuy inorougngoine. i he federal law
should of course include employes in navy
yards, arsenals arj t,he like
Tt is not wise that the nation should
alienate its remaining coal land.. I have tem
porarily withdrawn from settlement all the
lands which the geological survey has indi
cated as containing, or in all probability con
taining coat. The question, however, can be
properly settled only by legislation, which in
my judgment should provide for the wit'
drawal of these lands from sale or from
entry, save in certain especial circumstances.
The ownership would then remain in the
United States, which should not, however,
attempt to work them, but permit them to be
worked by private individuals under a royalty
system, -the government keeping such control
as to permit it to see that no excessive price
was charged consumers. It would, of course,
he as necessary to supervise the rates charged
by the common carriers to transport the pro
duct as the rates charged by those who mine
it; and the supervision must extend to the
conduct of the common carriers, so that they
shall in no way favor one competitor at the
expense of another. The withdrawal of these
coal lands would constitute a policy analogous
to that which has been followed in withdraw- I
ing the forest lards from ordinary settle
ment, j ne coai. like tne forests

industry; and while there will b-e some small
hut real material benefit to the Ki'ipino. the
main benefit will come by the showing made as
to o-.ir purpose to do all in our power for their
welfare. o far our action in the Philippine
has been abundantly justified, not mainly ami
indeed not primarily because of the added
iicnity it h..s c.iven us as a nation bv proving
that we are capable honisraMy and e'Tn-tently
to bear the international burdens w hich a

because" vi the imrnensr benefit that has come
to the people of the Philippine Islands.

the needs ot Ilawa1! are pecu rnr; everv
aid -hould be given the islands; and our effort
hould be unceasing to develop them along
tne lines oi a community or smau rreenociers,
not of great planters with coolie-tilled estate.
Situated as this territory i. in the middle of
the Pacific, there are duties impo.srd upon this
small community which do not fall in like de
Free or manner upon any other American com
munity. This warrants our treating it dif
ferently from the way in which we treat ter
ritories contiguou to or surrounded by sister
territories or other Mates, and jjtine the
setting aside of a portion of our revenue to
be expended for educational and internal im
provement therein.
Alaska's needs have been partitlv met. but
there must be a complete reorganization of the
Fovernment.il svstem. a 1 have before indi
cated to you. 1 Ask your especial attention to
this. (ur fellow citizers who dwell on the
shores of Puret sound with characteristic
energy are arranging to no'. in rear tie tne
.Ma.sk 4 lukon Pacific exposition. Its special
aims include the upbuilding of Alaska and the
development of American commerce on the Pa
cific ocean. This exposition, in its purposes
and core, should appeal not only to the peo
ple of the Pacific slope, but f the people of the
Cnited State at large. Alaska since it was
bought ha yielded to the government $ll,nno,.
nofl of revenue, and ha produced nearly
Soo.non.noo jn gold, fur and fish. When
properly developed it will tecome in large de
gree a land of home. I he countries oorder-
ing the Pac.hc ocean have a population more
numerous than that of all the countries of
Kurope; their annual foreign commerce
amounts to over S.i.nnn.nno.iion, ot w turn tne
share of the United States is some $?'0,ooo,
OOO. I f this trad- were thmughly under
stood and pushed by our manufacturer and
producers, the indu-trie not only of the Pa
cific slope, but of all our country, and partic
ularly of our cotton grow ing state, w ould be
greatly benefited. Of course, in order to get
these benefit, we must treat fairly the coun
tries with which we trade.
Especially do we reed to remember our
duty to the stranger within our gates. It
the sure mark of a low civilization, a low
morality, to abuse or discriminate against or
in any way humiliate such stranger w ho has
come here law full v and who is conducting
himself properly. To remember this is incum
bent on every American citizen, and it is of
course peculiarly incumbent on every govern
ment official, whether of the nation or of the
several states.
I am prompted to say this by the attitude
of hostility here and there assumed toward
the Japanese in this country. This hostility
i sporadic and i limited to a very few places.
Nevertheless, it is most discreditable to us as
a people, and it may be fraught with the
gravest consequence to the nation. To no
other country has there been uch an increas
ing numtier of visitors trom this Jand as to
Tapan. In return, Tapanese have come here
in great numbers. They are elcome, socially
