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 If ! f Harness 1L Vm Yoq can make your har •Wl lies* an soft aa a glove /jMwWZjrai Hi and aa tough as wire by ijjpj ‘ \VH using EUREKA liar.

He states that the Monroe Doct rine should be the cardinal ieature of the foreign policy of all the na tions of the two Americas. lie urges the continued upbuild af the navy to uphold the Monroe Doctine and maintain peace and asks for an addition of one thous and men. 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 after the Indian snould be treated as a unit and not as member of a tribe; recommends generous sup port of the Charleston and St. Louis expositions and the Smith sonian institute and the national museum. He advises that the census bu reau be made permanent; that con gress assist in the removal of abuses of the second-class mail privilege; commends the ‘‘open.door policy” in China; urges the return by con gress of the Well and La Abra awards fraudulently obtained from Mexico and closes with congratu lation upon the cordial relations existing between the United States 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 111 scholarship and depoitment, do not think that the management of he school is marked by incapacity and justice —Mrs. L.

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?

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.
