He says: The national government has as ai ultimate resort for control of child la bor the use of the interstate commerc( clause to prevent the products of chili labor from entering into interstate com merce. But before using this it ough certainly to enact model laws on the subject for the territories under it own immediate control. Presidential Campaign Expenses. Under our form of government rot ing is not merely a right, but a duty and, moreover, a fundamental and nec essary duty if a man is to be a gooc citizen. It is well to provide that cor porations shall not contribute to presi dential or national campaigns and, fur thermor to provide for the publica tion of contributions and expend! tures. There is, however, always dan ger in laws of this kind, which fron their very nature , difficult of en forcement, the dange~r being lest the: be obeyed only by the honest and dis obeyed by the unscrupulous, so as tc act only as a penalty upon honest men Moreover, no such law would hampe: an unscrupulous man of unlimitet means from buying his own way intF office. There is a very radical meas ure which would, I believe, work s substantial improvement in our sys tem of conducting a campaign, al though I am well aware that it wil take some time for people so to famil larize themselves with such a proposa as to be willing to consider its adop tion. The need for collecting largi campaign funds would vanish if con gress provided an appropriation for the proper and legitimate expenses of each of the great national parties, an appro priation ample enough to meet the ne cessity for thorough organization and machinery, which requires a large ex penditure of money. Then the stipu lation should be made that no party receiving campaign funds from the treasury should accept more than a fixed amount from any individual sub scriber or donor, and the necessar3 publicity for receipts and expenditures could without difficulty be provided. The Army. The president recommends legisla tion to increase the number of officers in the army, especially in the medica corps. The rate of pay of officers should be greatly increased, he de eldares. There should be a relatively even greater increase in the rate of pay of enlisted men if we are to keer the army in shape to be effective in time of need. The president recom mends severe examination of officers for promotion up to the rank of major. From that point promotion should be purely by selection. He speaks of the recent physical test of army officers with emphatic approbation and recoin mends a bill equalizing the pay ol officers and men of the army, navy, marine corps and revenue cutter serv Ice. The Navy. Concerning the navy the presideni says: In my judgment, we should this year provide for four battleships. Bui It is idle to build battleships unless, in addition to providing the men and the means for thorough training, we pro. vide the antilflries for them-unless we provide docks, the coaling stations, the colliers and supply ships that they need. We are extremely deficient in coaling stations and docks on the Pa cific, and this deficiency should not longer be permitted to exist. Plenty of torpedo boats and 4estroyers should be built Both on the Atlantic and Pa effic coasts fortifications of the best type should be provided ,foi- all our greatest harbors. Until our battle fleet is much larger than at present It should never be split into detachments so far apart that they could not in event of emergency be speedily united. Our coast line is on the Pacific just as much as on the At lantic. The battle fleet should now and then be moved to the Pacific.'just as at other times it should be kept in the Atlantic. When the isthmnian canal is built the transit of the battle fleet from one ocean to the other will be comparatively easy. ~Until It is built I earnestly hope that the battle fleet will be thus shifted between the two oceans every year or two. The battle fleet is about starting by the strait of Magellan to visit, the Pacific coast. Sixteen battleships are going under the command of Rear Admiral Evans. while eight armored cruis6rs and two :other battleships will meet him in San Fran cisco, whither certain torpedo destroy ers are also going. No fleet of such size has ever made such a voyage, and It will be of very great educational use all engaged in it. The, only way by which to teach officers and mer how to handle the fleet so as to meet every possible strain and emergency in time of war is to have them practice under similar conditions in time of peace. The president recommends the in creased pay for both officers and enlist ed men and advises promotion by se lection above the grade of lieutenant commander.. Foreign Affairs. In foreign affairs, the president says. this countrys steady policy is to be have toward other nations as a strong and self respecting man should behave toward the other men with whom he Is brought into contact. In other words, our aim is disinterestedly to help other nations where such help can be wisely yven without the appearance of med ing with what does not concern us, be careful to act as a good neighbor d at the same time in good natured shion to make it evident that we do t intend to be imposed upon. he president refers at length to The e peace conference. He believes ccomplished much good work. Postal Savings Banks. e president sna on postal affairs: I connenud to the favorable consi eration of the congress a postal saN ings bank system as recouunended b the postmaster general. Timid depos tors have withdrawn their savings fc the time being from national bank, t trust companies and savings banks. it dividuals have hoarded their cas 3 and the workiugmen their earnings, a of which money has been withhel and kept in hiding or in the safe dE - posit box to the detriment of prospei ity. Through the agency of the posts - savings banks such money would b restored to the channels of trade. t the mutual benefit of capital and laboi I further commend to the congres the consideration of the postmaste general's recommendation for an es tension of the parcel post. especiall; - on the rural routes. It would be : most desirable thing to put the fourtl class postmasters in the classified serv ice. Other recommendations are: Deepening of the inland waterways especially of the Mississippi river sys ten, to make them great national high ways. The repeal of the tariff on fotes products. especially the duty on woo( pulp. The amendment of the public lanc laws to make them more effectivi against land grabbers and more favor able to bona fide settlers. Retention of the government's titi to public coal and other mineral lands Extension of the national forest re serves. Citizenship for the people of Port I Rico. Freer local self government for Alas ka. Encouragement of the merchant ma rine, particularly of an ocean mail linc to South America.
