THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, im STRINGENT DIVORCE LAWS Continued from Pago Four. nt other times when the crops arc being .imvcd there la urgent need tor a large hut temporary Increase In the lency supply. Business Men Concerned. It must never be forgotten thnt this iiuestlen concerns business men gener ally quite us much ns bankers; rape dally Is this true of stockmen, furm- irs. and business men In the West; for ■It present at certain seasons of the year the difference In Interest rates be tween the East and the West Is from i; to in per cent, whereas In f.'annda ,ji, corresponding difference Is but 2 i*r cent. Any plan must, of course, -unril the interest of Western and Southern bankers as carefully, os It . mu ds the Interests of New York or Chicago bankers; and must be drawn nom the stahdpolnts of the farmer and the merchant no less than ffom the Standpoints of the city banker and the country bnnker. The law should be amended so specifically to provide that the funds derived from the customs duties may be ttrated hy tile secretary of the treasury as lie treats funds obtained under the Internal revenue laws. There should be a considerable Increase In bills of smnll denominations. Permis sion should be given banks If necessary under settled restrictions, to retire tar it- circulation to a larger amount than three millions a month. Philippine Tariff. I most earnestly hope that the bill to provide a lower tariff for or else ab solute free trade In Philippine products will become a law. No harm will come to any American Industry; and while there will he some small but real ma terial ocnellt to the Filipinos, the main iicnellt will come by'the showing made as to our purpose to do all In our pow er for their welfare. Next spring. If conditions warrant, we shall take a great stride forward In testing their capacity for self-gov ernment bv summoning the ttrst Fili pino legislative assembly; and the way In which they stand litis test will largely determine whether the self- government thus granted will be In creased or decreased. Porto Rican Affairs. American citizenship should be con ferred on the citizens of Porto Itlco. The harbor of Kan Juan In Porto Rico should be dredged and Improved. The expense* of the federal court of Porto Itlco should be met - from the federal treasury. The administration of the affairs 'of Porto Rico, together with those of the Philippines. Hawaii and ..nr other Insula - possessions, should all be directed under ore executive de partment: by preference the depart ment of state or the department of war. Hawaii. The needs of Hawaii are peculiar; every aid should be given the Islands, and our efforts should be unceasing to develop them along the lines of a com munity or small freeholders, not of great planters with coolte-ttlled es tates. This warrants our treating it differently from the way In which we treat terrttorlle* contiguous to or sur rounded by sister territories or other slates, and Justifies the sotting aside of n portion of our revenues to he ex pended for educational and Internal Improvements therein. Alaska. Alaska's needs have been partially met. hut there must be a complete re organization of the governmental sys tem, ns I have before Indicated to you. 1 ask your especial attention to this, our fellow citizens who dwell on the Shores of Puget Sound with charac teristic energy arc arranging to hold In Seattle the Alaska Yukon Paclth Fttlted Slnt6s and Japan has been eon- j ernments for armed Intervention In lifttlotfH Jtfnpf 1 Hip f imp hppi* Ini ft* n iIpp in npAtupf livoo nnri - tlnuous since the time, over half century ago, when Commodore Perry, by Ills expedition to Japan, first open ed the Islnnds to western civilization. Since then the growth of Japan has been literally astounding. Through the Red Cross the Japanese people sent over $100,000 to the suf ferers of San Francisco ami the gift was accepted with gratitude by our people. The overwhelming mass of our peo ple cherish a lively regard and respect for the people of Japan, and In almost every quarter of the Union the stranger from Japan Is treated as he deserves; that Is, he fs treated as the stranger from any part of civilized Eu rope Is and deserves to be treated. But here and there a most unworthy feeling fyas manifested Itself toward the Japanese—the feeling that has been shown In shutting them out from the common schools in Ban Francisco, and In mutterlngs against them in one or two others places, because of their efficiency as worers. A Wicked Absurdity. To shut them out from the public schools fs a wicked absurdity, when there Is no first class college In the lund, including the universities and colleges of California, which does not gladly welcome Japanese students and on which Japanese students do not re flect credit. We have as much to learn from Japan as Japan has to learn from us; and no nutlon Is fit to teach unless It Is also willing to learn. Throughout Japan Americans ore treated and any failure on the part of Americans at home to treat the Japan urteay and consldera tlon is by just so rnuoh a confession of inferiority In our civilization. Our nation, fronts on the Pacific, Just as it fronts on the Atlantic. We hope to play a constantly growing part In the great ocean of the Orient. We wish, as we ought to wish, for a great commercial development In our deal ings with Asia; and It Is out of the question that we should permanently have such development unless we free ly and gladly extend to other nations the same measure of Justice and good treatment which we expect to receive In return. It Is only a very small body of our citizens that act badly. Where the federal government bus power it will deal summarily with any such. Where the several states have power, l earnestly ask thnt they also deal wisely and promptly with such con duct or else this small body of wrong doers may bring shame upon the great muss of their Innocent and right- thinking fellows—thnt is, upon our na tion as a whole. , To Naturalize Jape. I recommend to congress that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of Japanese who come Intending to become American cit izens. I earnestly recommend that the criminal and civil statutes of the Uni ted States be so amended and added to ns to enable the president, acting for the United States government, which Is responsible In our International rela tions, to enforce the rights of aliens under treaties. Even as the law now Is something can be done by the Federal government toward this end, and In the mutter now before me affecting the Japanese, everything that It Is In my power to do will be done, and all of the forces, military and civil, »>f the United States, which I may lawfully employ, will be so employed. The mob of u single city may at any time perform acts of lawless violence against some class of foreigners which would plunge us Into war. Thnt city by Itself would be powerless to make defense against the foreign power thus assaulted, and If Independent of this government It would never venture to Exposition. Its special alms Include , UM f onn or permit the performance of der to protect the lives and property of their citizens. Thanks to the prepar edness of our navy, I was able Imme diately to gend enough ships to Cuba to prevent the situation from becoming hopeless, and I furthermore dispatched to Cuba the secretary of war and the assistant secretary of state, In order that they might grapple with the situa tion on the ground.

ThlU affords an excellent example of one way In which the Influence of the tint*-been Invited to Join In the prqKMbrij conference. ' It must ever l>e kept lu mind Unit War!

Finally the president of the republic resigned. The quorum of con gress assembled failed by deliberate purpose of Its members, so that there was no power to act on his resignation, and the government came to a halt. In accordance with the so-called Platt amendment, which was embodied In the constitution of Cuba, I thereupon proclaimed a provisional government for the island, the secretary of acting as provisional governor until he could be replaced by Mr. Magoon, the late minister of Panama and governor of the canal zone on the isthmus; troops were sent to support them and to relieve the navy, the expedition be ing handled with most satisfactory speed and efficiency. The Insurgent chiefs Immediately agreed that their troops should lay down their arms and disband, and the agreement was carried out. The provisional government has left the personnel of the old government and the old laws, so far as might be, unchanged, and will thus administer the island for a few months until tran quillity can be restored, a hew election properly held and a new government Inaugurated. Pence has come In the island, and the harvesting of the sugar cane crop, the great crop of the Island, is about to proceed. When the election has been held nnd the new government Inaugurated In peaceful and orderly fashion the pro- Isionat government will come to an end. 1 take this opportunity of ex pressing upon behalf of the American people, with all possible solemnity, our most earnest hope thnt the people of <‘uba will realize the Imperative need of preserving Justice and keeping order In the island. The United States wishes nothing of Cuba except thnt It shall prosper morally and materially and wishes nothing of the Cubans save that they shall be able to preserve their In dependence. If the elections become a farce, and If the Insurrectionary habit becomes the upbuilding of Aluska and the de velopmcnt of American commerce on the Pacific ocean. This exposition. In its puriMwes and scope, should appeal not only to the people of the Pacific -lope, htit to the people of the l tilted States at large. Alaska since it was bought Ims yielded to the government eleven millions of dollars of revenue, and has produced nearly three hundred millions of dollars In gold, furs and fish. When properly developed It will become In a large degree a land of homes. International Morality. It should be our steady aim to raise the acts complained of. The entire power and the whole duty to protect the offending city or the offending com munity lies in the hands of the United States government. It Is unthinkable that we should continue a policy under which a given locality may be allowed to commit a crime ngalnst a friendly nation, and the United States govern ment limited, not to preventing the commission of the crime, but. In the last resort, to defending the people who have committed It against the conse quences of their own wrong-doing. Cuba’s Revolution.

It Is absolutely out of the question that the Island should continue lnde/>endent; nnd the United States, which has assumed the sponsorship beforq the civilized world for Cuba's career’ as a nation, would again have to Intervene nnd to see that the government was managed In such orderly fashion as to secure the safety of life nnd property. The path to be trodden by those who exercise self-gov ernment Is always hard, and we should lmve every charity and patience with the Cubans as they tread this difficult path. I have the utmost sympathy with, nnd regard for. them; but I most earnestly adjure them solemnly to weigh their responsibilities and to see that when their new government In started It shall run smoothly, and with freedom from flagrant denial of right on the one hand, and from insurrec tionary disturbances on the other. The Rio Conference. The Second International Conference of American Republics held In Mexico In the years 1901-’02, provided for. the holding of the third conference within five years, and committed the fixing of the time and place and tho arrange ments for the conference to the govern ing board of the Bureau of American Republics, composed of the represen tatives of all the American nations at Washington. Tho board discharged the duty imposed upon It with marked fidelity nnd painstaking care, and upon the courteous Invitation of the United States of Brazil, tho conference was held at Rio de Janeiro, continuing from the 23d of July to the 29th of August lost. Many subjects of common Inter est to all the American nations werff „ . discussed hy the conference, and tho This I conclusions reached embodied In a se ries of resolutions nnd proposed con ventions will be laid before you upon the coming In of the final report of tho American delegates. They contain many matters of importance relating to the extension of trade, the Increase of communication, the smoothing away of barriers to free Intercourse, and the promotion of a better knowledge nnd good understanding between the differ ent countries represented. In many parts of South America there has been much misunderstand ing of the attitude and purpose of the United States toward the other Amer ican republics. An Idea had become prevalent that nir assertion of the Monroe doctrine Implied, or carried with It, an assumption of superlorlty, nnd of a right to exercise some kind of pr >tcvtovute over the countiles t«» whose territory that doctrine applied. It was part of Secretary Root’s nils- ! »lon to dispel this unfoynded Impres sion, and there Is just cause to believe that he has succeeded. The Monroe Doctrino. I cannot hotter characterize the true attitude of the United States In Its assertion of the Monroe doctrine than In the words of the distinguished for mer minister of foreign affairs of Ar gentina. Dr. Drag*), in his speech wel coming Mr. Root at Buenos Ayres. He spoke of— •‘The traditional policy of the United States, which, without accentuating superiority or seeking preponderance, condemned the oppression of the na tions of this part of tin* wmbl nnd the control of their destinies by the greut powers of Europe.” In my message to you on the 5th of December, 1905, I called your attention to the embarrassment that might be caused t*> this government by the as sertion by foreign nations of the right to collect by force of arms contract debts due by American repub.Ics to | citizens of the collecting nation, und to the danger that the process of com pulsory collection might result In tilt occupation of territory tending to be come permanent. This subject wus on« oi the topics ot consideration at iht conference at Rio nnd a resolution was adopted by that conference recommending to the respective government' 1 represented, •To consider the advisability of asking the second peace conference at The Hague to examine the question of the compulsory ‘collection of public debts, and In general, means tending to dimin ish among nations conflicts of purely pecuniary origin.” the .Western hemisphere; that Is, by | action taken In concert with other American republics and therefore free from those suspicions and prejudices which might attach If the action were taken by one alone. That Panama Trip. I have Juat returned from a trip to Panama and shall report to you at length on the whole subject of the Pan. ama canal. * The Algecirae Convention. The Algeclras convention, which signed by the United States ns well as by most of the powers of Europe, persedes the previous convention 1880, which was also signed both by the United States and a majority of the European powers. This treaty confers upon us equal commercial rights with all European countries und does not en tail a slnglo obligation of any kind upon us, and I earnestly hope It may be speedily ratified. To refuse to rati fy It would merely me&n that we for feited our commercial rights In .Mo rocco nnd would not achieve another object of any kind. Destruction of Seals. The destruction of the Pribilof Is lands fur seals by pelagic sealing still continues. The herd which, according to the surveys made In 1874 by direc tion of the congress, numbered 4,700,- 000, nnd which; according to the sur vey of both American and Canadian commissioners In 1891, amounted to 1,- ooo.ooft, has now been reduced to about 180,000. This result has been brought about by Uanadian and some other sealing vessels killing the female seal while In the water during their an nual pilgrimage to and from the south, or In search of food. In 1890 over 16,000 young seals were found dead from starvation on the Pribilof islands. In 1997 It was esti mated that since pelagic sealing began upward of 400,000 adult female seals had been killed at sen and over 300,000 young seals had died of starvation as the result. The revolting barbarity of such a practice, as well as the wasteful destruction which It Involves, needs no condemnation, and Is Its own condem nation. The Behring sea tribunal which sat in Paris in 1S93. and which decided against the claims of the United States to exclusive jurisdiction In the waters of Behring sen and to a property right In the fur seals when outside the 3- mlle limit, determined also upon cer tain regulations which the tribunal con. sldered sufficient for the proper pro tection nnd preservation of the fur seal In. or hubltually reporting to, the Behr ing sea. The regulations have proved plainly inadequate to accomplish the object of protection and preservation of the fur seals, and for n long time this govern ment has !»een trying In vain to secure from Great Britain such revision and modification of the regulations contemplated nnd provided by the award of the tribunal of Paris. Japs Slaughter Seals. The process of destruction has been accelerated during recent years by the appearance of a number ot Japanese vessels engaged In pelagic sealing. As these vessels have not been bound even by the Inadequate limitations pre scribed by tho tribunal of Paris, they have paid no attention either to the close season or to the 60-mlIe limit Im posed upon the Canadians, and have prosecuted their work up to the very Islands themselves. On July 16 nnd 17 the drew* from several Japanese vessels, made raids upon the Island of 8t. Paul, nnd be fore the j* were beaten off by the very meager and Insufficiently armed guard, they succeeded In killing several hun dred seals and carrying oft the skins ot most ot them. Nearly all the seals killed were females, and the work was done with frightful barbarity. Many of the seals appear to have been skinned alive and many were found half skinned and still alive. The raids were repelled only by tho use of fire arms, and five of the raiders were killed, two were wounded and twelve captured. Including the two wounded. Those captured have since been tried and sentenced to imprisonment. An attack of this kind had been wholly unlooked for, but such provision of ves sels. arms and ammunition wllf now be made that Its repetition will not be found profitable. Suitable representations regarding the Incident have been made to the government of Japan, and we are as sured that all practicable measures will be taken by that country to prevent any recurrence of the outrage. On our part the guard on the island will be In. Teased, and better equipped and or ganized, and a better revenue cutter patrol service about the islands will be established; next season a United States war vessel will also be sent there. Trying for Agroomont. We have not relaxed our efforts to secure an agreement with Great Brit ain for adequate protection of the seal herd, and negotiations with Japan for the same purpose are In progress. The laws for the protection of the seals within the Jurisdiction of the United States need revision and amend ment. The entrance of a vessel Into the territorial waters surrounding the Islands with Intent to take seals should be made a criminal offense and cause of forfeiture. Authority for seizures In such cases should be given and the presence on any such vessel of seals or sealskins or the paraphernalia for taking them should be made prltna facie evidence of such Intent. I rec ommend what legislation Is needed to accomplish these Vtuls. !u case we are compelled to ul>an*l*m the 1io|h- of making arrangements Peace and Righteousness. ’once Is normally a treat good, and tint- My It eo|iieldes witu .righteousness; but mnlly _ It* Is Halite* . should bind the eonselcne lunild bind th dual; and neither >i nnti* rail surrender oonsrlenci A just wut or a tuition.*! obtained by :i .... righteoiifinesw; but and not' pefte# whleh ' a nation m of au iiullvi In tin* l*iu£.run. fur be rur. rfe for « nation nor <«• prepare for war that It may ewnpe the dreadful eci qiloiteea of being defeated In wn must always lie remeniliered thnt be defeated lii war may be far better than not to have fought at all.

We should ns u nation do everything In otir power fur the cause of honorable pence. It is morally as Indefensible for n nation t*» commit wrong apoo another nation, strong or weak, us for nil ludlvlduul thus to wrong hla fellows. We should do all In our power to hasten the day when there shall be peace among the nations—n peace based upon Justice and not upon cowardly submission to wrnug. Wants a Better Navy. Hnd good , ... . _„ .... any navy. stop building strips for one year means that for thnt year the navy goes hack. Instead of forward. The old battle ship Texas, for iu»tancc. would now lie of little service in a stand-up fight with a powerful adversary. The old double-turret monitors have out worn their usefulness, while It was a waste of money lo htiJld the modern single-tur ret monitors. All these ships should be re placed by others: and this eati be done by r well-settled nroginui of providing for th* building each year of at least one first class battle ship, equal In size and speed to that any uatlou is at the same tlni* building: the urummeut presumably to eon stst **f ns large a number ns possible of r heavy guns of one caliber, together gnus to repel torpedo at- j Standard of Quality j afler . virile there should be heavy armor, engines, and. lu short, every modern tn«-k: turblm device. Of course, from time to time, cruisers, colliers, torpedo boats, destroyers of torpe do Itoats. will hove to lie built nlso. All this, lie it remembered, would not Increase otic navy, but would merely keep It nt Its present strength. Equally of course, the ships will be ab solutely useless If the men atioard them lire not so trained that they can get the best poslble service out of the formidable but delicate nnd complicated uieehanDins In trusted to their cure. Marksmanship Improvss. Itliin bound* . navy Is more titan twice us efficient, ship for ship, ns a half decade ago. The navy can only attain proper efficiency If enough officers and men are provided, and If these officers and men are given the chance (and icqufred t** take advantage of Iti to stay continually at sea and to exercise (he fleets singly, and. nboYe all, In squadron, the ox- erels.* to be of every kind nnd to Include unceasing practice it the guns, conducted under condition* thnt will test marksman- ship In time of war. * both army and navy there Is urgent that everything possible should l>e to maintain the highest standard for the personnel, alike ns regards the offl enlisted men. I do not Indleve that in any service there is a fine IkhI.v of en listed men and of Junior officers than we have in lioth the army nnd navy. Includ ing the marine corps. All possible encour agement to the enlisted men should be given. In psy and otherwise, mid everything practicable done to render the service at tractive tb men of the light type. They should be held to the strictest dis charge of their duty, nnd In them n spirit should tie encouraged which demands not the mere performance of duty, hut the per formance of fur more than ’duty. If It conduces to the honor and Interest of the American nation; and In return the am plest consideration should be theirs. Should Bo Fightsrs. West Point nnd Annapolis • already turn out excellent officers. We need not need to have these schools made more scholastic, on the contrary, we should never lose sight of the fact that the aim of each school Is to turn out a man who shall be alsn-e every thing else n fighting man.

Tho navy has one great advantage over the army In the fact that the officers of high rank are actually trained In the con tinual performance of their duties; that Is, lu the management of the hattleshlpn and armored cruisers gathered Into fleets. This Is not true of the army officers, who merely have corresponding chances to exercise «*om- mnnd over troops under sendee conditions. The conduct of the Spanish war showed the lamentable loss of fife, the useless extrava gance und the Inefficiency certalu to result. If during peace the high officials of the war and navjr departments arc praised and rewarded only If they save money at no matter what cost to the efficiency of the service, and if the higher officers are given n«» chance whatever to exercise nnd prac tice command.
