President’s Message.
Congress convened in regular
session on Dec. 7tb, and the day
following Mr. Roosevelt’s last Pres
idential message was read in both
houses. As usual it is an exhaust
ive document, the salient points of
which boiled down are as follows:
Financial condition of nation at
] present time is excellent.
Under the interstate clause of the
constitution the United States has
complete and permanent right to
control all agencies of interstate
commerce.
Rates must be made as low as are
compatible with giving proper re
turns to the shareholders and all
employees.
Believes that there should be a
premium upon individual initiative
and capacity.
Labor should share in the profits
of the manufacturer, and the farmer
should own his own land and not
be a slave to the mortgage.
The
man of small means should be pro
tected in investments by careful su
pervision of corporate finance.
Dealing with courts, believes that
salaries of our judges are entirely
inadequate; decries attacks on courts
when same are not based in fact;
urges courts to weigh more careful
ly the effect of temporary and per
manent restraining orders. Legis
latures frequently to blame for slo
venly and conflicting laws.
Forests form the first and most
important factor in the conservation
of natural resources, and it is the
plain duty of tne country to protect
them before it is too late.
River
navigation can only be maintained
through the preservation of our for
ests.
Supports the contentions of those
interested in inland waterways, aDd
urges legislation in their cause.
Improvement of rivers should not
be left in the hands of army engin
eers whose training does not fit
them for such work.
The system
impairs the work of the army as an
army, and works a hardship on the
people who wish the work of river
improvement put through on scien
tific lines.
Amendment ruling that there
shall be no detail from the secret
service for other than Government
work declared favorable only to
criminals.
Again recommends that postal sa
vings banks will be beneficial for
the people.
Commends extension
( f parcels post.
Advocates the immediate admis
sion of New Mexico and Arizona as
States.
Advocates the extension of the
ocean mail act of 1891 and better
Transpacific mail lines.
Briefly praises the work of the en
gineers in charge of the Panama
Canal, and declares that the work
is being done with speed and effi
ciency.
The army, the navy and
our island possessions are briefly
dealt with along lines of the Presi
dent’s first message to the Sixtieth
Congress, first half of session.

President Rooseyelt, has locked
horns in the public print with the
New York Sun and Indianapolis
News over the accusations made by
these papers of willful suppression
of facts from the public with rela
tion to the purchase and completion
of the Panama Canal. The Sun and
News claimed that twelve instead of
forty millions of dollars was paid
for the canal, and asked who got
the remainder of the money, also
drawing Mr. Taft into the alleged
piece of official jobbery. Mr. Roose
velt in his reply denounces every al
legation as false, deliberately false,
and asserts that every document
bearing upon the Panama proposi
tion is subject to inspection at the
national capital by any reputable
citizen; also the vouchers to show
that $40,000,000 was paid to the
French Government. The New York
Sun now insis's on an investigation
of the Panama Canal Purchase by
Congress.
