Yesterday witnessed the passing of Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States for seven years, he has held the ship of state and turned the office over to his predecessor without one word of mistrust while the Roosevelt rule has been somewhat stormy at times but out of this stormy time there came some good results and today our country is in a better condition financially, commercially, intellectually and morally than ever before. While Mr. Roosevelt has made some mistakes yet he has aroused the public conscience to the great abuses and applied the remedy he has enlarged the sphere of the Negro and opened the door of opportunity to him as never before his door of hope, the Indiana post office episode; the Dr. Crum collectorship; the Booker T. Washington dinner affair and his letters of defense in those matters are a great innovation toward equal justice and will be pointed to by future ages, while he erred in the Brownsville affair, yet more than 14,000 Negroes are darwing more than $8,000,000 that he has employed in governmental service which is twice more than any other administration ever had, ought to be an offset for the mistake, however the Rooseveltian reign has been a success for Americans, thus we bid farewell to Mr. Roosevelt and welcome Mr. Taft. ASSAULT. Within the last few weeks the wave of criminal assaults upon women in our state has been sweeping over our state. We are astonished most of these are committed or alleged to be committed by colored men. In Otumwa, Ia., within two weeks time two of the most shocking and brutal crimes that can be committed was done on women, the first crime was the brutal killing of a young lady who sang in the choir of the Sweedish Lutheran church, her body was found in a cellar, her slayer is a Negro named John Junken who has a bad character, but just gotten out of the penitentary a few days prior to this act; the other was a traveling man's wife, who, she claims a Negro entered her house at night and nearly killed her the outcries of her little 6 year old child saved her life. These infamous brutes white, black, red or yellow ought be given the greatest punishment under the law, the death penalty is too good for such villains, no person ought to extend a word of sympathy or aid to such persons. We must let the world know that we earnestly and resolutely condemn those guilty without any reservation. JAS. SHOOLCRAFT SHERMAN. James Schoolcraft Sherman, Vice-President of the United States is a member of Congress, and by profession a lawyer. A graduate of Hamilton College, near his home at Utica, N. Y., in 1878, he received the degree of doctor of laws from that institution. He was admitted to the hath two years after graduation, practiced in his native city and was elected mayor of Utica in 1884. He was elected to Congress in 1887, and except an interval of two years 1891-to 1883 has been continuously reelected since that time. Mr Sherman has been a consistent friend of the Afro-American even since his entrance into public life, and in his public utterances he has made many strong pleas for the advancement of the race along all lines of human endeavor.

Any adequate treatment of the relation of noral and religious education to the life of the Nation, will not leave out the Negro race. Negroes constitute one-eighth of the population: They have to do with the character and history, the political life and social wellbeing of the Nation. History must take account of the Negro, for as now conceived, history records the development of races and nations; the education and life, the achievements, the welfare and progress of all people. Political economy must consider him. He is a part of the body politic, and sooner or later must be counted as a potent factor in the political life of the republic. economics must keep the Negro in view; for the study of economics no longer means simply a broad survey of the nature and causes of the wealth of the nation, but looks to the condition of all the people, their poverty or wealth, their progress or decline, their moral and religious status. These elements make for economic efficiency and constitute the strength or weakness of the nation. Social philosophy cannot ignore the Negro. He cannot be set off by himself. For weal or woe, white and black are bound together. His condition effects society, Just as Edom was constant menace and curse to Israel, so today any degraded people drag down their neighbors. In short, every comprehensive movement in America, in church or school, looking to the general religious and moral uplift of the people must have the Negro in view. A most effective and permanent force available for the uplift of the family and the moratization of the social life the Negro, is the trained physician. The urgent call for efficient men in this profession is emphasized by prevailing physical conditions in the Negro race. The startling fact of a death-rate twice as great as that among whites; a death-rate from tuberculosis three times as great; and with physical conditions in some sections worse than under slavery, give emphasis to the call for the trained physician. Under slavery the sick Negro was, as a rule, given prompt medical attention; he was required to live by rule; his food was course but wholesome and nutritious; he was kept up to the highest degree of efficiency; his life was in the open; the health, vigor, and long life of a slave were an asset which was safeguarded. Unhealthy and defective persons were often forbidden marriage. As a consequence, the death-rate in certain sections of the south before the war was less than that for the whites. In Charleston, S. C., from 1822 to the beginning of the war, the average white death-rate was 25.98 per thousand; for the black 24.05 per thousand. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. But from 1865 to 1894 the average mortality for whites in Charleston was 26.77 per thousand, for blacks, 43.29 per thousand. The outcome shows the inevitable cost of freedom. It is a struggle for the survival of the fittest. Through ignorance, improvidence, and hard conditions the majority of the race, perhaps, is poorly housed, underfed, and inadequately clothed. Their power of resistance to the ravages of disease is thus weakened. Their homes in cities are often in unsanitary sections—in alleyes, low or low-lying flats. So also in the country, where impurities drain into their wells and sources of water supply. There is slight appreciation of the laws of health, Typhoid and malarial fevers hold swain among them. Contagious diseases and epidemics find easy victim. Because of low moral standards, lack of knowledge and loose family discipline illegitimacy is common among the lower classes. The effects of diseases, not to be named, or infant mortality is marked. The scourge of to-day is tuberculosis—that "ghastly tragedy of a race." On high authority it is stated that of the seventy-five million living Americans, at the least eight millions must inevitably die from this cause. It is the greatest drain on the nation's resources. Among the slaves consumption was to rate that physicians even declared that the Negro was immune from its deadly power. It is now the scourge of this race. The death-rate among the Negroes from tuberculosis is (at the present time) more than three times that of the whites from the same disease. Since the one prevailing source of tuberculosis is through infection, and the races, in the South especially, are closely bound together, the menace to the health of the nation is serious. In the South the Negroes are, and will continue to be, helpers in the homes. They cook the food, nurse the children, care for the sick and wash the clothes mostly in their own unsanitary cabins. It is evident that if trained physicians are not available for the instruction of the people in hygiene and sanitation, and for the arrest of this infectious plague, the results must be in the future even more alarming than to-day. In some cities even at the North, the Negroes are dying off faster than they reproduce themselves. Dr. Furniss, the noted colored physician of Indianapolis, gives statistics showing that in no month in the last ten years has the birth-rate in that city equalled the death-rate. When the proportion should be one to eight, tuberculosis is the cause of half the total deaths of Negroes in Indianapolis. The fact that consumption mortality in New Orleans is three and one-third times greater for colored than for white, and in St. Louis and Chicago over three times as great, should sound the alarm. In view of these conditions, peculiar significance attaches to statistics as to the training of the colored physicians. In 1907 the total number of medical students in the United States was 24,276. The total number of graduates was 4,989, — the smallest number since 1890. There are seven medical school for colored people—Howard University School of medicine at Washington, Meharry at Nashville, and Leonard at Raleigh, being most prominent and fairly well equipped. The total number of professors and instructors in these schools for 1907 was 148, students 691; graduates 167. On the basis of seventy million whites and ten million blacks in the United States, there is one student in medicine to every three thousand whites, and one to every fourteen thousand blacks.

When once upon a time he attended a Rhode Island clam-bake he overtaxed his capacity and was severely distressed. But his faith in prayer was unabated. Leaving the earth and going down he kept behind a tree he was heard to supplicate: "Forgive me, O Lord, this great sin of gluttony. Restore my health, and I will never eat any more clams." Then after a judicial pause: "Very few, if any. Amen." Was a Lucky Day for England. Admiral Nelson was the recipient of favoritism in the matter of his appointment to the British naval service. Nelson's father could not have afforded to send his son to Nebo to have been rejected as physically unfit," says a writer. "Nelson was shoved into the navy under a bit of jobbery and pushed on by backdoor influence."

A Wls. couple examined an idea new to them and stepped up several rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought it was a bracer." (delusion). "Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmfulness of coffee, and believing that to grow we should give some attention to new ideas, we decided to test Postum. "We made it right we liked it and were we made it right we liked it by coffee. Our friends noticed the change — fresher skin, steadier nerves, better temper, etc. "These changes were not sudden, but relief increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire for coffee." "Many of our friends did not like Postum at first, because they did not make it right. But when they bolted Postum according to directions on pks, until it was dark and rich, they liked it better than coffee and were benefited by the change." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Read to Wellville" in pks. Read hear the above letters. A new one appears from time to time. There are grumbling faces, and few of them A Pest with a string. America is threatened with another pest. The French brown-tall moth is almost, if not quite, in the midst of us. He came over in nursery packages from France and is only awaiting the gladiose days of spring to break forth, expand and begin pesting, just as though he were at the old stand. He will compete as a foreign pauper pest with our own infant industries in the pest line. If you do not know what the French brown-tall moth does to the human race you will learn if he decides to sojourn among us and to increase and multiply, says the Chicago Daily News. Archery is his hobby. Unlike the bee and the mosquito, which have but one stinger, the little French brown-tail carries a quiverful of arrows, which be shoots in passing as a small boy trains his pogon on a bald head. There is no chance to star him on the wrist in return, for he stings without alighting and then moves on to the next victim. No wonder the scientists who saw him first are very anxious to find a way to put him gently to the bad. There is comfort for the murderer of the king's English in the latest contribution to periodical literature by Mr. Lounsbury, emeritus professor of English at Yale, excusing and in a measure justifying some of the so-called vulgar mistakes in orthography and grammar committed by uneducated people. According to Prof. Lounsbury, is or, is was, the best of authority for saying pint for point, jist for joist, lie for oil and bile for oil. Our'n and your'n and his'n are upheld by ancient usage. The double negation is similarly vindicated and there are a dozen instances of the use of learn in the sense of teach in Shakespeare. It is gratifying to note that the professor draws the line on "I done it." There are limits to what are euphoniously termed archaic forms of speech, it seems. A report declares that in the state of New York marriages have decreased 20,000 during the past year. Yet this is President Roosevelt's own commonwealth. It is more than likely that the depressed condition in many lines of business and labor will account for much of this falling off. In the early part of the year thousands of men were out of employment and were probably looking for work harder than they were looking for wives. The present year gives promise of being a prosperous one, and it is safe to predict that the marriage record in the Empire state for 1909 will make a far more satisfactory showing. The Chicago professor's theory that marriage licenses should not be used until six months after they are issued is evidently for the purpose of preventing hasty marriages. But why not go further? Say that marriage licenses shall not be used until the last installment on the furniture is paid; or until both parties to the match have cut their wisdom teeth. Certainly marriage licenses should not be used until after the ink on the divorce decree is dry. Ellen Emerson, oldest daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and for years his close companion and assistant, died at the home of her sister Edith, wife of William M. Forbes, in Milton, Mass., on January 16, aged 70. Miss Emerson was active in the social and literary life of Concord at all times, and especially in the affairs of the Unitarian church. Besides her sister, a brother, Dr. Waldo Emerson of Concord survives her. In his various plays Shakespeare used about 15,000 words. Milton used only about half as many in his writings. A person of culture and education has a speaking vocabulary of about 5,000 words; an ordinary person uses from 3,000 to 3,000 words. This would indicate that the 300,000 words of the English language include a good many that are seldom employed except in president's messages. Frank Wentworth of Winsted, Conn., has doped it out that in 2,000,000 years the human race will have developed so far that instead of walking on a pair of alternate pendulums, as now, men will have on their lower extremities wheels actuated by turbines driven by hot air. Here's a chance for some people to get just 2,000,000 years ahead of the rest of us, merely by standing on their heads and talking rapidly. Mme Gudalaude de Haro, a Mexican, and a descendant of the Montezumas, is in New York studying domestic science as practiced in the United States. She will carry it back with her to Mexico, and at the bidding of her government introduce it in that country. Miss Martina Kramers of Rotterdam, Holland, is one of the most accomplished of women linguists. She can read and speak 13 different languages. A student in Lawrence college, up in Wisconsin, has been sent to a state reformatory for a year because he set fire to the college inn, "just for fun." It is clear that education had made little impression upon the mind of that young savage. For the benefit of the dear ones left behind persons walking on streets where automobiles abound should carry in their pockets identification cards and instructions as to what to do with the remains. WESTERN CANADA'S SPLENDID GROP YIELD FOR 1908. AMERICANS PROFITED LARGELY AND GEND BACK SATISFACTORY REPORTS. The census branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, has completed its returns, of the showing of Western Canada's grain yield for 1988, and the reports make very interesting reading. In the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may be the largest crop area, the yield of about 107,000,000 bushels, worth to the farmer about $85,000,000; in addition to this the cat, barley and flax crops were worth another $35,000,000. Letters have been received from many of the settlers from the United States. From these, that of Rev. O. L. King has been selected. He lives in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says will be of interest to those who contend with the problems line of the letter is interesting. Those who wish for the particular as to how to secure homesteads and preemptions should write any Canadian Government agent. Mr. King says: "Mr. M. V. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan: I am well satisfied with Alberta. This country offers excellent opportunities for anyone to make a good home for himself and family if he is willing to put up with it. I am willing to work two or three years. But it is worth a few hard knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich, productive land with no mortgage on it. This province is well fitted for grains, stock raising and dairying. We have found the climate generally healthful, more healthful than Michigan, and although the thermometer sometimes runs too high, we do not seem to feel that temperature any more than we did 5 or 10 degrees below in Michigan. We like the winters. "The Government takes great interest in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in establishing schools where they are called for. The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadequate railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new settlers who have to go back a considerable distance from existing villages and towns to reach and free residents will locate along the line of a projected railroad they will in two or three years be near both town and railroad. When I first came to this country three and a half years ago the home-steed I took was 76 miles from a railroad town; now there is a railroad 96 miles north, another 25 miles south, and a third is being built through my neighborhood.

TAPI FURIOUS STORM MARS INAUGURATION OF TAFT New President Takes Oath and Delivers Address in Senate Chamber. Washington, Mar. 5.—William H. Taft was inaugurated as president yesterday amid the worst weather conditions that ever have marked the great national event. So severe was the snow and sleet storm that the new chief magistrate was forced to take the oath and deliver his inaugural address in the senate chamber. For more than 24 hours the storm raged, and at noon there was about eight inches of snow on the ground. The wind thrashed many of the city's prettiest decorations to threads. The immense reviewing stands along the line of march were made well nigh uninhabitable by the plow snow Street car and traffic was impeded to the extent of seriously delayed arrival of thousands who had planned to attend the inaugural ceremonies. The nation's capital, for many hours, was cut off from all wire communication with the rest of the world. It was a day of strenuosity in Washington and as if in sympathy with the outgoing executive the weather made a blizzardly appeal to the thousands who were not deterred by the worst that the weather man could turn on. To add the final touch of strenuosity, Mr. Roosevelt declined to ride to the railroad station from which he departed to Oyster Bay. He walked through the snow. Ball and Parade Given. Though the thousands of citizens who had come here from all over the country were denied the privilege of witnessing the solemn ceremonies attending the administering of the oath to the new president, the more spectacular features of the event were not omitted. All the warriors the storm the great inaugural parade carried out substantially as it had been planned; and in the evening the inaugural ball and the display of fireworks were given with their brilliancy undimmed by the adverse weather conditions. The ball, given in the Penston building, was magnificent; as it always is. It was, attended by a tremendous throng. In the center of the great hall which occupies the lower floor of the structure, a space was roped off. The visitors stood outside the open place waiting the arrival of President and Mrs. Taft and Vice-President and Mrs. Sherman. They came and stayed on the public floor for some time, and then retired for the president's box in the gallery above, where Public Photograph Gallery. The Royal Photographic Society of England, has been annoyed by the refusal of the National portrait gallery to exhibit photographs and has decided to establish a national gallery of photographic portraiture. The scheme has met with enthusiastic support from all those interested in the photographic art. A large number of photographs has been received and the gallery will be thrown open to the public at certain periods in the near future. New York's Enormous Debt. The New York city department of finance has made public a statement of the funded indebtedness of the municipality down to November 30, 1995, at time there was a funded outstanding of $794,169,189 and a temporary debt of $92,378,200, making a combined gross indebtedness, of $866,484,389. Burden Wood Joists Will Bear. A wood joist four inches deep supports four times as much weight as a joist half that depth. they watched the proceedings below. Unusual success attended the efforts of the committee that had charge of decorating the ballroom, and it was generally admitted that such wonderfully beautiful effects had rarely, if ever, before been accomplished. A vaulted canopy of bunting reduced the great height of the ballroom by 40 feet. The original scheme of this canopy was a deep cream tint and this was also carried out behind the two-storied colonnades which encircled the court, forming a background to the elaborate floral decorations. Novel Illumination Scheme. The illumination of the great ballroom was carried out on radically different lines from those followed hitherto. Instead of embodying the lights in the floral decoration, following the structural lines of the cornices or arches, the principal groups of lights were placed with a view to securing the best general illumination falling equally upon the decorations and the guests. This result was secured by suspending from the vaulted ceiling 18 large frames composed of hexagonal frames supporting clusters of 125 globular lamps of frosted glass, 125 globular lamps of frosted glass from a sturdy wire, and the whole arranged in bowl-shaped mass. This mass of drooping lights was suspended by six gilded chains secured to a sturdy ring and heavy chain above, suspending the entire fixture from the vaulted ceiling. Supplementing this provision for general illumination, half octagon brackets, each with a cluster of 20 small lamps suspended from it, were placed over each of the first story columns of the arcade. Grand Fireworks Display. For the benefit of the benefits who could not attend the ball, there was an illumination and fireworks display such as Washington never before saw. Historic Pennsylvania avenue was ablaze with light from end to end. Not only were all the business houses brilliantly illuminated, but across the street were stretched numerous electric fences. The Peace monument, for the first time since its erection soon after the civil war, was put to the use for which it was originally intended—that of a fountain—and powerful searchlights were turned on the great volume of water that was thrown into the air. On the ellipse south of the White House a display of aerial fireworks were at 7:30 o'clock, and for hours was Mysterious Discoveries. "What did Hamlet mean by telling Horatio there were more things in Heaven and earth than were dreamt of in his philosophy?" "I don't know, unless Hamlet had been doing business with the Danish secret service." Gold Colnage Last Month. There were 502,000 pieces of gold coin struck at the United States mints last month, having a value of $5,925,000. Forest Products of States. There was a time when Ohio was noted for its forest products; last year it vied for 500,000 feet of the 40-265,154,000 feet of lumber cut in the country. Pennsylvania, which used to lead in this industry, now ranks as eight among the states; Washington coming first and Louisiana second. Not Trying to Please. "The reason married life is sometimes trying," says Mr. Taukaway, "is that the parties to it aren't."—Kansas City Times. watched by a most delighted multitude. The display began by the discharge of 161 aerial guns, the national salute, and was followed by the lighting of 250 prismatic fires which changed color a number of times. The illumination was superb and the effect of the changing tints on the towering marble shaft of the Washington monument was extremely beautiful. came the light of 150 rock bombs fired from several positions as to blend their various colors, and then in rapid succession the discharge of a number of magnesium balloons followed by a marvelous 'sun cluster', and batteries of fiery cobran, and the burning of great quantities of ruby fire, which gave its red tint to every object within a radius of many squares. National Shield in Bombs. "The Star Spangled Banner" excited the admiration of the great throng of spectators. It was prompted by the electrical charge of many large returning national shields in its true colors, suspended among the clouds. One of the great features of the display was the wonderful "Pillar of Light," rising 100 feet into the air, arranged in five tiers and lighting up the whole southern section of the city. Then came batteries of lightning cemetry emitting blinding flashes, closely resembling real lightning, and followed by peals of thunder. New batteries of second recharge bomb. The first shell fired broke with one explosion, the second with two, and so on up to the twenty-first with twenty-one explosions. Among the many other novelties was an immense shell which was fired into the air several hundred feet and released a monster streamer in the inspiring colors of "Old Glory." Nearly the last, and the greatest sensation of the whole exhibition was a set piece: "The Battle in the Sky," showing a city with its spires and lofty buildings, some of them 100 feet high, and filling a space on the ground 500 feet long. An airship is seen passing over it, followed by others. These turn and are met by an opposing aerial fleet, when a battle ensues. One airship after another is set on fire, and falls. In the meantime other airships float over the city, dropping fiery bombs, wrecking the buildings which crumble and fall until all are utterly destroyed. The action of the encounter of the aerplanes and the destruction of the city were marvelously realistic. **Parade in the Snow.** The parade in the afternoon had a hard time of it, but manfully pushed their way through the snow and slush. Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell was the grand marshal. The military division had the right of way after the president's escort. At its head were the West Point cadets and the midshipmen from the naval academy at Annapolis. The cadets of both schools were cheered, as they always have been cheered at every inaugural parade in which they have taken part. Immediately behind the future officers of army and navy came the regulars of the military service. In the line were the 2,600 men who had formed the Cuban army of pacification. In the waters of Hampton roads for ten miles the fleet which had made its record-breaking journey around the world had been assembled. The battleships, the cruisers, the destroyers and the torpedo boats were drawn upon for "jackies" to give the sea service an adequate representation in the inaugural ceremonies. There were Vice President, Sharman Vice-President Sherman. 3,000 sailors from the Connecticut, the Illinois and the other ships of Sperry's fleet in the parade. The marines folowed the sailors. National Guardmen There. Next came the National Guardsmen from various states of the union, and their excellent marching and evolutions elicited enthusiastic applause. In the rear of the military division came the civic organizations. There were in line more than 100 clubs and political organizations of the country, nearly all of them wearing some unique and distinguishing uniform. A Lesson in Grammar A Lesson in Grammar.

The work on the canal is making most satisfactory progress. The type of the canal as a Jock canal was fixed by congress after 4 full consideration of the conflicting reports of the majority and minority of the consulting board, and after tho recommendation of the war depart: ‘ment and. the executive upon those reports, Recent suggestion that some thing ad occurred on the {isthmus to make the lock type of the canal less feasible than It was, supposed to be when the reporte were made and the policy determined on, led to a vialt to the isthmus of a board of competent enginers to examine the Gatun dam ‘and locks which are the key of the lock type. The report of that board shows that nothing has occurred In the nature of newly revealed evl- dence which sbbuld change the views ‘once formed in the original discussion. The construction will go on under @ most offective organization controlted by Col, Goothals and his fellow army ongineers associated with him, and will certainly be completed early In the next administration, if not before. South and the Negroes, I look forward with hope to increas- ing the already good feeling between the south and the other sections of the country, My chief purpose is not to effect a change In the electoral vote of the southorn states. ‘That Is a sec- ‘ondary consideration, What I look for- ‘ward to Is an increase in the tolerance of polltical viewsof all kinds and thelr afvocacy throughout the south, and the existence of a respectable political opposition in every state; even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the south that this government Is thelr govern- ‘ment, and that {ts offlcera in thelr states are thelr officers. ‘The consideration of this question cannot, however, be complete and full ‘without reference to the negro race, its progress and its present condition. ‘The 13th amendment secured them freedom; the 14th amendment due process of law, protection of property and the pursuit of happiness; and the 16th amendment attempted to secure the negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote, because he was & negro, The 13th and 14th amend: ments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended, While the 6th amendment has not been gener: ally observed in tho past it ought to be observed, and the tendency of southern logislation today 1s toward the enactment of electoral qualifica- ‘ons which shall square with that amendment, Laws for Labor's Benefit. ‘There 1a one other matter to which I sball refer. It was made the subject of great controversy during the elec: tion and calls for at least a passing reference now. My distinguished prede- cessor hag given much attention to the enuse of labor, with whose struggle for better things he has shown the sin- corest sympathy. At bis instance, con- gress has passed tho Dill fixing the la. Lily of Interstate carriers to tholr ‘employes for Injury sustained In the course of employment, abolishing the rule of fellow-seryant and the common Inw rule as to contributory negligence. It has also passed a law fixing the compensation of government employes for injuries sustained in the employ of tho government through the negll- Bence of the superior. It also passed 8 model child labor law for the Dis- trlet of Columbia. In previous admin- Iistrationg an arbitrary law for Inter- slate, commerce railroads and thelr employes, and laws for the application of safety devices to save the lives and lmbs of employes of Interstate rall- roads had been’ passed. Additional legislation of this kind was passed by the outgoing congress, T wish to say that in so far as 1 ‘can, I hope to promote the enactment of further fogislation of this charac ter. I am strongly convinced that the government should make itself as re- sponsible to employes injured in ite employ aa an Intorstate railway cor- poration 1s made ‘responsible by fed- eral law to ts employes. Im conclusion the president dis- cussed the question of the power of federal courts to fssue {njunctions In labor disputes, reiterating forcibly his bellef that to take away this power from the courts would result in the creation of a privileged class among the laborers and saye the lawless among thelr number from a most needful remedy for the protection of the first opportunity. The wonder to me is that moro of them do not desert.
