OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 7, 1901.
President Roosevelt’s first mes
sage, addressed to the fiftv-seventli
congress, is a clear out incisive
statement of facts from a republi
can view-point and is couched in
language of unusual simplicity and
directness.
The president eulogizes his pre
decessor, denounces his assassin
and defies and condemns anarchy
and its advocates and apologists.
He urges that the federal courts be
empowered to try any attempted or
actual assassin of a president and
pronounces such an offense a crime
agauist the law of nations.
He congratulates the nation
upon its widespread prosperity,
points out that the legitimate ac
cumulation of large fortunes by
individuals iecidentallv benefits
numerous others, cautions con
gress against unnecessarily hamp
ering those captains of industry
whose direction is so essential to
business success, or unwarranta
bly interfering with those great
corporations which have, by their
magnitude, been able to place this
country in the front rank in the
contest for universal commercial
supremacy. He assigns the ac-
accumulation of great corporate
fortunes to natural causes rather
than to the tariff; acknowledges
that antagonism to ‘trusts” is to a
limited extent unwarranted; advo
cates the same governmental con
trol and publicity of their affairs as
now attaches to the national banks
and implies that such publicity is
essential to judicious legislation
looking to correct such evils in the
system as now exist. If the con
stitution does not permit of such
federal supervision the president
believes it should be amended.
Colonel Roosevelt advocates the
establishment of a department of
commerce and industry whose
head shall be a member of the cab
inet and gives his reasons at
length.
He urges the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion act; the exclus
ion of contract labor; the extension
of the eight hour aay for labor; the
amendment of factory laws in the
interest of the health of women and
children; advocates an educational
qualification for imigrants and the
exclusion of certain undesirable
classes which are now admitted.
Mr. Roosevelt asserts that there
is general acquiescence in our pres
ont tariff system and that nothing
could be more unwise than to dis
turb the business interests by a
general tariff change. He says
that reciprocity must be treated as
the handmaiden of protection, that
protection must be maintained in
every case where it is needed, and
asks the attention of the senate to
the reciprocity treaties laid before
it by his predecessor.
He asserts that the condition of
the merchant marine requires im
mediate remedial action by con
gress and, without mentioning the
ship subsidy bill, calls attention to
the fact that foreign vessels which
can be bought more cheaply, are
extensively subsidized.
He endorses the gold standard,
and the recoin mendatians of the
secretary of the treasury concern
ing momentary affairs;advises that
the revenues be cautiously curtailed
uiVil they more nearly balance ex
penses and urges the scrupulous
avoidance of reckless or wasteful
exDenditures.
He commends the. Inter-state
Commerce Commission and urges
legislation which will make its de
cisions effective but cautions
against any measures which will
cripple the railways which he de
fines as the arteries through which
the life blood ot this nation flows.
The president urges a more sys
tematic preservation of the forest;
that the care of the forest reserves
be confided to the department oi
agriculture; and that in the arid
districts, a system of irrigation b.
undertaken by the federal govern
ment.
For Hawaii he bespeaks a lam’
policy modelled on our homesteai
policy and calls the attention o
congress to the necessity of lain
laws for Porto Rico.
He promises on behalf of tin
government every advantage P
the peaceful Phiiippinos and swif
justice to. the insurrectos; state
that civil government has bee.
established as rapidly as condition
would permit and urges congress
ional legislation which will indue
the investment of American capita
and the development of Phillippin.
resources.
Colonel Roosevelt emphasizes th
necessity of a Pacific cable b:
makes no recommendation pc
tair.ing thereto.
He expresses gratitude over tl
arrangement of a treaty with Gn
Britain which will permit of t
mediate construction of an ist
n canal which he pronounces c

tions of the two Americas.

The army he pronounces large
enough for our needs but adyises
the establishment of a general staff.
He vigorously commends the
merit system of appointments and
urges its extension.
Mr. Roosevelt believes that here

as a unit and not as member of a
tribe; recommends generous sup

He advises that the census bu

of the second-class mail privilege;
commends the ‘‘open.door policy”
in China; urges the return by con

and foreign nations.
Hints to Parents.
Do not take your child to school
the first day and spend an hour
with the principal telling him what
a bright boy you have, how perfect
tiis manners have always been and
how you bate to have him enter
the public school, where he will be
obliged to meet common, Inferior
children. Three score and ten
mothers have already told him the
same story.
Don’t write to the teacher the
second day commanding that his
seat be changed at once, and stat
ing that you object to his sitting
with that unruly Smith boy, with
whom he has never been permitted
to associate. You are making
yourself unnecessary trouble. Tile
mother of that boy has written
that she will take her son from
school before she will allow him to
sit with that sneaking, malicious
Brown boy, whose mother doesn’t
know enough to see through him.
Do not call the teacher and air
your views on dicipline, particular
ly if they are of the lion-coercive
soit. It she happens to have had
an unusually hard day with the
incorrigibles.and you enlarge upon
the duty of patience, sympathy
with the child nature and an all -
•'eivading, never ending love, she
may tell you some uipleisant
truths.
Do not shake the school 11 its
foundations because your son has
received punishment. Aid don’t
place implicit confidence in his own
account of the affair. The boy who
could not tell his father a lie died
about a hundred years ago. His
successor has never been found.
And, finally, when vour boy
brings home his grade and you find
that he takes rank among the ordi
nary, common place, average child

not think that the management of
he school is marked by incapacity
and justice —Mrs. L. D. Ellis, in

TALKS ABOUT AGUINALDO-
Congressman Weeks Says He is
Not Clever, But Cunning.
San Francisco,Dec.6. —Congress-
man Edgar Weeks of Michigan,
who arrived from Manila on the
transport Hancock, when asked
about conditions in the Philippines,
replied:
“I saw Aguinaldo and spent half
a day with him. He is not an in
telligent man and I think feels that
he is interior in intellect to the
Americans. He seemed to me not
clever but cunning. The general
opinion aim ng the military men is
that Aguina.do should be allowed
to escape. He is a dead issue and
is no longer a menace to the United
States. It is supposed that he does
not want to run away, as he would
at once be assassinated by the
friends of Gen. Luna, whom he
ordered to be killed.
The new method of educating
tiie natives as adopted by this gov
ernment is wrong. Refined, hand
some young ladies from Vassarand
other colleges went down to the
Philippines to educate these
natives. They have had to put up
with all kinds of privations and eat
native food, and in some places
their lives have been in danger. I
think this is entirely unnecessary.
In place of these young ladies, dis
charged soldiers of education who
had become acclimated should be
appointed and the young ladies
should be sent home.
‘‘The question of the sultan of
Sulu and his harem is a small
matter when you are confronted
with the great questions that are
now involved. The sultan lives in
a dirty, tumble tumble down house
and he may have several wives, but
he is a very insignificant individual.
I do not fear any trouble with
him.”
Throat Sore?
There’s no telling what a sore
throat will do if you give it ‘‘right
of wav.” Uncertain remedies often
cause dangerous delay. Make a
cure sure with Painkiller, known
for half a century as a specific for
sore throat, croup, coughs, and all
kindred troubles. Keep it by you
for an emergency. It never fails.
Avoid substitutes, there is but one

A. J. Snell wanted to attend a
party, but was afraid to do so on
account of pains in his stomach,
which he feared would grow worse.
He says, "I was telling my trou
bles to a lady friend, who said:
‘Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy will put you in
condition for the party.’ I bought
a bottle and take pleasure in stating
that two doses cured me and en
