The message of President Roosevelt, read at the opening of congress today, and published in full in today’s issue of the Pioneer, is,a document which will add both to the president’s reputation as a tireless agitator o reform, and to his reputation as & writer. It.deals with a variety of pertinent subjects with intelligent minuteness, and at the same time possesses a rare literary style. To the man who is interested in the affairs of the nation, it will repay a careful reading, and even those who have neither the time nor the inclination to pursue the twenty-seven columns to the end, will find a reading of selected parts of the message of immense value and interest.

The message takes up and treats in turn, and at length such important problems of the day as the divorce evil and the neces- sity of a uniform national divorce law; currency reform; an income and an inheritance tax; farmng a8 a profession; the Philippine tasiff and the urgency of a lower rate, or absolute free trade with our island possessions; Cuban intervention; and Secretary Root’s recent trip to South America and the need of better trade relations with the Latin re-' gl of above rates for child- publics. ren of half fare age.

He then discusses at length the question of the government’s right of ap- peal in criminal cases, which he strongly urges congress to make possible, and the question of in- junctions, which has been raised as an issue by the labor organiza- tions. From this the president passes to the subject of lynching and the race problem in the south. He deplores mob action and finds a remedy for negro crimes in “swift, relentless and orderly punishment under the law,” and education in a small measure. William R. Hearst, late candil- |date for governor of New York, comes in for some scathing re- bukes under the topic of capital and labor, and although the president strikes with padded gloves, in that he does not men- tion his name, the blows are aimed at the yellow editor never- theless. He says: Ask for a Ticket East on The Pioneer Limited Insist that 1t read from Minneapolis and St. Paul to Chicago on The Pioneer Limited or one of the other fast trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway The Fioneer Limited leave Minneapolis at 8:00 p. m. and St. Paul at 8:35 p. m.

In dealing with both labor and capital, the questions affecting both corporations and trades unions, there is one matter more important to remember than aught else, and that is the in- finite harm done by preachers of mere discontent, * * * * The plain people who think,the mechanics, farmers, merchants, workers with head or hand, the men to whom American tradi- tions are dear, who love their country and try to act decently by their neighbors, owe it to themselves to remember thut the most damaging blow that can be given popular government is to elect an unworthy and sinister agitator on a platiorm of violence and hypocrisy. ®* % % % The president’s views on cor- porations might be summed up business in the city today. cal examiners, Drs.

Combination of capi- tal, like combination of labor, is & necessary element of our pres- ent industrial system, * * * * What we need is not vainly to try to prevent all combination, but to secure such rigorous and adequate control and supervision of the combinatiors as to prevent isting in such form as inevitably to threaten injury. * % % ¥ Another topic on which Presi- dent Roosevelt grows eloguent is the inability to enforce the rights of aliens under treaties, as was recently brought forcibly to the attention of the country at San Francisco, when the local author- ities shut the Japanese children national government found itself helpless to enforce the rights of the Japanese under treaty.
