W He says: I Tlie, national government has as an I ultimate resort for control of child la^ bor tho use of tho interstate commerce clause to prevent the products of child labor from entering Into Interstate commerce. But before using this It ought certaiuly to enact model laws on tho subject for the territories under Its own Immediate control. 1 Presidential Campaign Expenses. Under our form of government voti Ing Is not merely a right, but a duty, W and, moreover, a fundamental and uecf essary duty If a man Is to be a good citizen. It Is well to provide that cork poratlons shall not contribute to preslK dentlal or national campaigns aud, furthermore. to provide for the publication of berth contributions and expenditures. There Is, however, always dan>ger In laws of this kind, which from their very nature are difficult of euj forcement, the danger being lest they be obeyed only by the honest and disobeyed by the unscrupulous, so as to act only as a penalty upon honest men. Moreover, no such law would humper tf. an unscrupulous man of unlimited means from buying his own way into Pr office. There is a very radical mens I ure which would, I believe, work a substantial improvement in our sys\ tem of conducting u campaigu, although I am well aware that It will take some time for people so to familiarize themselves with such a proposal us to bo willing to consider Its adoption. The need for collecting large campaign funds would vanish If congress provided an appropriation for Iho proper and legitimate expenses of each of the great national parties, an appropriation ample enough to meet the nercessity for thorough organization and machinery, which requires a large expenditure of money. Then the stipulation should be made that no party receiving campaign funds from the treasury should accept more than a fixed amount from any individual subscriber or donor, and the necessary publicity for receipts and expenditures could without difllculty bo provided. Tho Army. The president recommends legislation to increase the number of oflicers / *' in the army, especially In the medical corps. The rate of pay of oflicers should be greatly Increased, he deP* Clares. There should be a relatively ti even greater Increase In the rate of J pay of enlisted men if we are to keep j the army in shape to be effective in time of need. The president recommends severe examination of oflicers for promotion un to the rank of maior. From that point promotion should he purely b.v selection. He speaks ot' the recent physical test of army oflicers with emphatic approbation and recommends a bill equalizing the pay of officers and men of the army, navy, marine corps and revenue cutter service. The Navy. Concerning the navy the president ,) Bays: i In my Judgment, we should this year provide for four battleships. But It is idle to build battleships unless, in addition to providing the men and the means for thorough training, we provide the auxiliaries for them?unless we provide docks, the coaling stations, the colliers and supply ships that they need. We are extremely dellclent In coaling stations and docks on the Pacific, and this deficiency should not longer bfe permitted to exist. Plenty of torpedo boats and destroyers should Ij/ be built. Roth on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts fortifications of the best type should be provided for 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 Atlantic. 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 isthmian canal t is built the transit of the battle fleet from one ocean to the other will bo comparatively easy. Until it Is built I earnestly hope that the battle fleet j>' 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, j Sixteen battleships are g >ing under the commandof Rear Admiral Iivans. while eight armored cruisers and two other bnttleshlps will meet him in San Francisco, whither certain torpedo destroyers are also going. No fleet of such size has over made such a voyage, and It will be of very great educational use to all engaged In it. The only way by which to teach officers and men how A to Handle the fleet so as to meet every I possible strain and emergency In time f/' Vof war is (o have them practice under I similar conditions in time of peace. Ema I The president recommends the lnl Mpyf creased pay for both officers and enlistiH ed men and advises promotion by selection above the grade of lieutenant commander. (Foreign Affairs.

In other words, lm Is disinterestedly to help other ns where such help can he wisely without the appearance of niedwitli hat does not concern us, careful to act as a good neighbor it the saino time In gooil natured on to make it evident that wo do ilenrt to be imposed upon. i president refers at length to The ic pence conference, lie believes otnplished much good work. Postal Savings Banks. ; president says on postal affairs: i I commend to the favorable consideration of the congress a postal savings bank system as recommended by the postmaster general. Timid depositors have withdrawn their savings for the time being from national banks, trust companies and savings banks. Individuals have hoarded tlielr cash and the worklugmen their earnings, all of which money has been withheld and kept In hiding or in the safe deposit box to the detriment of prosperity. Through the agency of the postal j savings hanks such money would bo restored to the channels of trade, to ' the mutual benefit of capital and labor. I further coin mend to the congress the consideration of the postmaster ' general's recommendation for an extension of the parcel post, especially I on the rural routes. It would be a most desirable thing to put the fourth class postmasters In the class I lied service. Other recommendations are: Deepening of the inland waterways, especially of the Mississippi river system, to make them great national highways. % The repeal of the tariff on fo/est products, especially the duty on wood 1 pulp. The amendment of the public land laws to make them more effective against land grabbers and more favorable to bona lide settlers. Retention of the government's title to public coal and other mineral lands. Extension of the national forest reserves. Citizenship for the people of Porto , Rico. Freer local self government for Alaska. Encouragement of the merchant marine, particularly of an ocean mail line to South America. Remission of the Boxer indemnity ' and freer entry for Chinese students coming to America.
