Most breaches of public trust are al and this one should be. It s impossible, no matter how much care is used, to prevent the occasional appointment to the public service of a man who when tempted proves unfaith- ful; but every means should be provid- ed to detect and every effort made to punish the wrongdoer. So far as in my power lies each and every such wrong- doer shall be relentiessly hunted down; in no instance in the past has he been spared; in no instance In the future shall he be spared. His crime i3 a crime against every honest man in the nation, for it is a crime against the whole body politic. Yet in dwelling on such misdeeds, it is unjust not to add that they are altogether excepuomlf and that on the whole the employes o the Government render upright and faithful service to the people. There are exceptions, notably in one or two branches of the service; but at no time in the nation’s history has the public service of the nation taken as a whole stood on a higher plane than now, alike a8 regards honesty and as regards effi- cfency. ' PUBLIC LANDS DESIRED ! FOR ACTUAL SETTLERS Irrigation and Forestry Methods Prove of Great Value to People. Once again I call your attentiom to ] the condition of the public-land laws. { Recent developments have given new j urgency to the need for such changes as will fit these laws to actual present conditions. right use of the remaining public lands is of fundamental importance. The in- iquitous methods by which the monopo- lizing of the public lands is belng brought about under the present laws are becoming more generally known, But the existing laws do not furnish effective remedies. The recommenda- tions of the Public Lands Commission upon this subject are wise and should be given effect. 'l‘ie creation of small irrigated farms under the Reclamation Act is a pow- erful offset to the tendency of certain other laws to foster or permit monop- oly of the land. Under that act the construction of great I!‘rls&(lon works has been proceeding rapidly and suc- cessfully, . the lands reclaimed are eagerly taken up, and the prospect that the policy of national irrigation will accomplish all that was expected of it is bright. . The act should be extended to include the State of Texas. The Reclamation Act derives much of its value from the fact that it tends to secure the greatest possible num- ber of homes on the land, and to create communities of freeholders, in part by settlement on_public land, in part by forcing the subdivision of large private holdings belore they can get water from Government Irrigation werks: The law requires that no right to the use of water for land in private owner- ship shall be sold for a tract exceed- ing 160 acres to any one land owner. This provision has excited active and powerful hostility, but" the success of the law itself depends on the wise and firm enforcement of it. We cannot af- ford to substitute tenants for free- holders on the public domain. The greater part of .the remaining public lands cannot be irrigated. They are at present and will probably al- ways be of greater value for grazing than for any other purpose. This fact has led to the grazing homestead of 640 acres in Nebraska and to the pro- osed extension of it to other States. t is argued that a family cannot be supported on 160 acres of arid graz- ing land. This is obviously true; but nelther can a family be supported on 640 acres of much of the land to which it is proposed to apply the grazing homestead. To establish universally any such arbitrary limit would be un- wise at the present time. t would probably result on the one hang in enlur{lnx the holdings of some of the great land owners, and on the other in needless suffering and failure on the part of a very conslderable pro- portion of the bona fide settlers, who ive faith to the implied assurance of dy covered by the law, | The fortunes amassed through corporate organization are now so large, and vest such power in those that wield them, as to make it a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign—that is, to the Government, which represents the people as a whole, some effective power of super- vision over their corporate use. In order to insure a healthy social and industrial life, every big corporation should be held responsible by, and accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct. I am in no sense hostile to corporations. This is an age of combination, and any effort to prevent all combination will be not only useless, but in the end vicious, because of the contempt for law which the failure to enforce law inevitably produces. We should, moreover, recognize in cordial and ample fashion the immense good effected by corporate agencies in a country such as ours, and the wealth of intellect, energy and fidelity de- .voted to their service, and therefore normally to the service of the public, by their officers and directors. The corporation has come to stay, just as the trade union has come to stay. Each c3n do and has done great good. Each should be favored so long as it does good. But each should be sharply checked where it acts against law and justice. -—_ e of said celebration, ’nd conformity with its instructions, invita- tions to all the nations of the earth to participate, by sending their naval vessels and such military organizations as may be practicable. This celebration would fail of its full purpose unless it were en- durlng in its results and commensurate with the importance of the event to be celebrated, the event from which our na- tion dates its birth. I earnestly hope that this celebration, already indorsed by the Congress of the United States, and by the Legislatures of sixteen States since the action of the Congress, will receive such additional aid at your hands as will make it worthy of the great event it is intended to cele- brate, and thereby enable the Govern- ment of the United States to make pro- vision for the exhibition of its own re- sources, and likewise enable our people who have undertaken the work of such a celebration to provide suitable and proper entertainment and instruction in the historic events of our country for The honest disposal and | all who may visit the expositon and to whom we have tendered our hospitality. CONFEDERATE HEROES. Nation Asked to Care for Graves ©Of the Dead. It is a matter of unmixed satisfaction once more to call attention to the ex- cellent work of the Pension Bureau; for the veterans of the civil war have a greater claim upon us than any other class of our citizens. To them, first of all among our people, honor is due. Seven years ago my lamented prede- cessor, President McKinley, stated that the time had come for the nation to care for the graves of the Confederate dead. I recommend that the Congress take action toward this end. The first need is to take charge of the graves of the Confederate dead who died in Northern prisons. 5TRIC_TER LAWS NEEDED TO BAR UNDESIRABLES Radical Changes Recommended in the Immigration Statutes A of Nation. The question of immigration is ot vital interest to this country. In the year ending June 30, 1905, there came to the United States 1,026,000 alien im- migrants. In other words, in the single year that has just elapsed there came to this country a greater number ot geople than came here during the one undred and sixty-nine years of our colonial life which intervened between the first landing at Jamestown and the Declaration of Independence. It is clearly shown in the report of the Commissioner General of Immigra- tion that while much of this enormous immigration is undoubtedly healthy and natural, a considerable proportion is undesirable from one reason or another; moreover, a considerable proportion of it, probably a very large proportion, in- cluding most of the undesirable ciass, does not come here of its own Initla- tive, but because of the activity of the agents of the great transportation com panies. These agents are distributed throughout Furope, and by the offer of have issued, in, to the community he should be heartily welcgomed. We canot afford to pay heed to whether. he is of one or or another, of one natfon or another. cannot afford to consider whether Catholic or Protestant, Jew or hether he is Englishman or Irishman, renchman or German, Japanese, Itallan, Scandinavian, Slav, or EYar. ‘What we should désire to find out is the individual quality of the individual man. In my judgment, with this end in view, we shall rlgld inspection in the which the Immi, nts come. It will be a great deal befter to have fewer im- migrants, but all of the right kind, than a great number of immigrants, many ‘whom are necessarily of the vron‘l‘ ind. As far as possible we wish to limit the immigration to this country to persons who propose to be- come citizens of this country, and we can well afford to insist upon adequate scrutiny of the character of those who are thus proposed for future oitizen- lh_l‘p here should be an increase in the stringency of the laws to keep out in- sane, idiotic, epileptic and pauper im- migrants. But this is by no means enough. Not merely the anarchist, but every man of anarchistic tendencles, all violent and disorderly people, all peorlo of bad character, the Incompe- tent, the lazy, the vicious, the physical- 1y unfit, defective or degenerate should be kept out. The stocks out of which American citizenship is to be bullt should be strong and healthy, sound in body, mind and character. If it be ob- jected that the Government agents would not always select well, the answer is that they would certainl select better than do the ents an brokers of forelgn _steam: panfes, the people who now ever selection is dome. EXCLUSION OF CHINESE. Better Treatment for Exempts. but Coolies Barred. The questions arising in connection with Chinese immigration stand by themselves. The conditions In China are such that the entire Chinese coolie class, that is, the class of Chinese la- borers, skilled and unskilled, legiti- mately come under the head of unde- sirable Immigrants to this country, be- cause of their numbers, the low wages for which they work and their low standard of living. Not only is it to the ip com- do what- interest of this country to keep them | out, but the Chinese authorities do not desire that they should be admitted. At resent their entrance is prohibited by aws amply adequate to accomplish this urpose. ‘hese laws have been, are ng, and wiil be, thoroughly enforced. The violations of them are so faw in number as to be infinitesimal and can be entirely disregarded. There is no serious proposal to alter the immigra- tion law as regards the.Chinese labor- er, skilled or unskilled, and there is no excuse for any man feeling or affecting to feel the slightest alarm on the sub- 3 ect. But, in the effort to carry out the olicy of excludigg Chinest laberers, ‘hinese coolies, rave injustice an wrong have been done by this nation to the people of China, and therefore ul- timately to this nation itself.

The de ts are Invariably consulted as to the re- Quirements desired and as to the char- acter of questions that 1 be asked. General invitations ar ‘equently sent out to all heads of departments asking whether m‘y changes in the scope or examinations are required. In other words, the departments pre- scribe the requirements and the quali- fications desired, and the Civil Service Commission co-operates with them in securing persons with these qualifica- | tions and insurin, pen impar | competition. g3 e 354 In a large number of | (u3, for example, those for ma‘.';‘}.‘&f no tions) there are educational Quirements whatever, and a Wwho can nefither read nor write ?fll with a high average. Vacancles n the service are nuef with reason- able expedition and the machinery of the commission, which reaches svery part of the country, is the best agency that has yet been devised for finding people with the most suitable qualifica- tions for the various offices to be filled. ‘Written competitive examinations do e an ideal method for filling positions, but they do represent an im- measurable advance upon the “spoils” method, under which outside politicians really make appointments nominally made by the executive officers, the a pointees being chosen by the politi~ cians in question, in the great majority of cases, for rei ns totally unecon- needed; and it is producing good re~ of the publie. Statistics thered by the Census Bu- Teau show that the tenure of office in the Government service does not differ re- materially from that enjoyed by em- filoye: of large business corporations. eads of executive departments and members of the commission have called my attention to the fact that the rule Tequiring a filing of charges and three days’ notice before an employe could be geparated from the service for in- efficiency has served no good purpose whatever, because that is not a matter upon which a hearing of the employe found to be inefiiclent can be of any value, and in practice the rule provid- ing for such notice and hearing h: merely resulted in keeping in a cer- tain number of incompetents, because of the reluctance of heads of depart- ments and bureau chiefs to go through the required procedure. Experience has shown that this rule is wholly ineffective to save any man, if a superior, for improper reasons, wishes to remove him, and is mis- chievious because It sometimes serves to keep in the service incompetent men not gullty of specific wrong-doing. Having these facts in view, the rule has been amended by providing that where the inefficlency or incapaeity comes within the ger:onal knowledge of the head of a department, the re- moval may be made without notice, the reasons therefor being flled and made * a record of the department. The ab- solute right of removal rests where it always has rested, with the head of a department; any limitation of this ab- solute right results in grave imjury to the ublic service. he change Is merely one of procedure; it was needed; and it is producing goog“;c: The civil service law is being ener- fe!lcally and impartially enforced, and n the large majority of cases com- ons of either the law to be unfound- ed.
