position to the eight-hour bill uow
pending In Congress. They xprovjfledJ
for the formation of a labor mftfrty# j
tlon bureau for the uso of members. A
platform was adopted as an open let
ter to the public which Says:
"The present condition of industries
has become so deplorable by reason of
Indefensible methods and claims of or
ganlzed labor that the time has come
when the deploylng?lntereats and good
citizenship of tho country must take
Immediate and effective meaaurts to

conditions.
"In Its demands organized labor ts

props of our govdhiment. Its methods
for securing this revolutionary and so
cialistic change in our institutions are
also those of physical warfnre. Be
cause of this warfare the industrial in
terests of tl^j nation during the last
year have beeii injured to an Irropafs
ble degree.' Many llrmu have been
driven to bankruptcy and the cases are
Innumerable In which working men
have been disabled and even murdered,
while numerous families have beon
" rendered destitute by reason of tho
tyranny and seditious attacks upon so
ciety by the strike organizations. A
condition of anarchy has existed con
tinuously In some Htates for months
4Jftst, ajflUT In fact, tho acts of lawless

being destroyed by the acts of violence
of organized labor and as a result we
are now confronted with tho possibility
of. n period of depression.

To the Senate and House of Reprttscn- ;
tatlves: ?
Tho country Ih to bo congratulated i
on tho amount of substantial achieve- 1
mem which has marked tho pant year
both uh regards our foreign and us re
gards our domestic policy.
Corporations.
With a nation as with a man the
most Important things are those of the
household, and therefore tho country
la especially to bo congratulated on
what has been accomplished In the di
rection of providing for tho exorcise of
supervision over the great corporations
and combinations of corporations en
gaged In interstate commerce. The
congress ban created the Department
of Commerce and Labor, including the
Ittjreau of Corporations, with for tho i
Jli'Bt time authority to secure proper !
publicity of such proceedings of these j
great corporation^ as tho public ban '
tho right to Know J It has provided for !
tho expediting of suits for the enforce- i
merit of tho Federal anti-trust law; and
by another law It has (secured equal
treatment to all producers In the trans
portation of their goods, thus taking a
long stride forward In making effective
tho work of the Interstate Commerce '
Commission.
Department of Commerce and Labor.,,,
The establishment of tho Department
nf Com met ce and l?ibor, with the
Hureau of Corporations thereunder,
murks a real advance in tlie direction
of doing all that is pouslblffior the so
lutlon of the questions vitally affecting
capitalists and wage-workers. The act
creating the. Department was approved
on February 14, *1903, aud two days
later the head of the Department was
nominated and confirmed by the Sea
ate. Since then tho work of orgai.l/.a
i lion has been pushed as rapidly as the
; initial appropriations permitted, and
with duo regard to thoroughness und
tho broad purposes which the Depart
ment Is designed to servo. After the
transfer of tho various bureaus and
branches to the Department at the be
ginning of the current fiscal yeur, as
provided for in the act, the personnel
comprised 1,280 employees In Washing
! ton and 8,836 in the country at. largo.
I Tho scope of the Department's duty
I and authority embraces the commercial
j and Industrial interests of the Nation,
j It is not designed to restrict or control
it lie fullest liberty of legitimate btisl
i u<tfs action, but to secure exact und ftu
j thentle Information which will aid ihc
' Executive in enforcing existing laws,
i and which will enable tho Congress to
enact additional legislation, if any
(should be found necessary, in order to
prevent the few froatoohtalnlng privi
leges at the expense of diminished bp
portuuitles far tho many,
i Capital and Labor.
The consistent policy of the National
; Government, so far as it has the power
| Is u? hoUl lo check- the unscrupulous
man, whether employer or employee;
but to refuse to weaken Individual Ini
tiative or to hamper or cramp the in
dustrial development of tho country.
We recognize that this is an era of fed
eration and combination, in which
great capitalistic corporations and la
bor unions have become factors of tre
mendous Importance In all Industrial
centers. Hearty recognition Is glvon the
far-reaching, bchcilcent work which
has been accomplished through both
corporations and unions, and tho line
j as between different corporations. as be
tween unions, is drawn as It Is be ween
i different individuals; that Is, It is
| drawn on conduct, the efTort being to
treat both organized capital and or
I ganized labor alike; asking nothing
! save that the interest oYxjach shall be
brought Into harmony withHhe lntorc?*t
| of the general public, and that tho cor.
j duct of each shall conform to tho fuu
i dnmentnl rules of obedience to law, of
! Individual freedom, and of Justice and
, fair dealing towards all. Wheqpvor
I either corporation, labor union or In
i dividual, disregards the law or nets in u
j spirit of arbitrary and tyrannous inter
! f et ?nee with the rights of others,
1 whether corporations or Individuals,
| then where the Federal Government
| has Jurisdiction, It will seo to It that
; the mlsconduet Is stopped, paying not
. tho slightest heed {o the position or
i power of the corporation, the union or
the Individual, but only to one vital
fact? that Is, tiio question whether or
not the conduct of the Individual or
aggregate of Individuals Is In. accord
ance with the law of the land. Eveiy
man must bo guaranteed his llbei ty
ond hiR right to do as ho likrs with bin
property or his labor, so long aj no
does not infringe tho rights of other.-?,
i No mail is aoove the law and no man
Is below it; nor do we ask any lean's
permission when wo require ?. Win to
obey It. Obedience to the law Is de
manded as a right; not asked as a fav
or.
Wo hnve cause as a nation to ho
thankful for tho steps that have boon
so successfully taken to put these prin
ciples Into effoct. The progress has
be??n by evolution; not by revolution.
Nothing radical has been done; the ac
tion has bcon both moderate and reso
lute. Therefore the work will stand.
There shnll be no backward step.
Needs of Financial Situation.
The Integrity of our currency la be
yond question, and under present con
ditions It yould be unwl0V*&d unne
cessary to attempt a reconstruction of
our entire monetary system. The same
liberty should be granted the Secretary
of the Treasury to deposit customs re*
ceipts as 1s granted him la the deposit
of receipts from other, sources. In my
Mossage of December 2. 1901 I called
attention to certain needs of the Anna?.]
rial situation, aftd I again ask tigs con
sideration of the Congress for these
<l Hi-si tons.

Need For Tr?aW#s Making Bribery Ex
tradltable.
Steps have been taken by the State
Department looking to the making of
bribery an extraditable offense with
foreign powers. The need of more ef
fective treaties covering this crime is
manifest. The exposures and prosecu
tions of official corruption in St
Louis, Mo., and other cities and States
have resulted In a number of givers
and takers of bribes becoming fugl
Jves In foreign lands. Bribery has not
been Included In extradition treaties
heretofore, as the necessity for it has
not arisen. While there may have been
&e much official corruption in former
years, there has been more developed
ami brought to light in the Immediate
past than jn the preceding century of
our country's history. It should be the
Policy of the United States to leave no
place on earth w-ttcre a corrupt man
fleeing from this country can rest In
^peace. There Is no reason why bribery
should not be Included In all treaties
as extraditable.

Tor the disturbed condition of affaire
was removed. Our relations with the
Turkish Government remain friendly
our claims founded on lnequftablo
treatment of somo of our schools and
missions appear to be In process of
amicable adjustment.
Relations With China.
The signing of a new commercial
treaty with China, which took place at
Shanghai on the 8th of October, is a
cause for satisfaction. This act, the
result of long discussion and negotia
tion, places our commercial relations
with the great Oriental Empire on a
more satisfactory footing than they
have ever heretofore enjoyed. It pro
vides not only for the ordinary rights
and privileges of diplomatic and con
sular officers, but also for an Impor
tant extension of our commerce by In
creased facility of access to Chinese
ports, atid for the relief of trade by the
removal of some of the obstacles which
havo embarrassed It in the past.
I call your attention to the reduced
coBt In maintaining tho consular ser
vice for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1003, as shown In- the annijal report of
the Auditor fnr tho StstO 1 Ctiivr
nepartmenta. as compared with the
year previous. For the year under con
sideration the excess of expenditures
over receipts on account of the con
sular service amounted to $26,125.12,
as against $96,972.50 for the year end
ing June 30, 1902, and $147,040.16
for the year ending June 30, 1901. This
is the best showing In this respect for
! the consular service for the past four
teen years, and the reduction In the
cost of the service to the Government
has been made In spite of tho fact that
the expenditure? for the year in ques
tion were more than $20,000 greater
than for the previous year.
Rural Free Delivery.
The rural free-delivery . service has
been steadily extended. The attention
of the Congress is asked to the Ques
tion of the compensation of the letter
carriers and clerks engaged in the pos
tal service, especially otf the new rural
free-delivery routes. More routes have
been Installed since the first of July
last than to any like period tn the De
partment. While a due regard eeoa

Cotton Weevil.
The cotton-growing States have re
cently been Invaded by a weevil that
has done much damage and threatens
the entire cotton industry. I suggest to
the Congress the prompt enactment of
such remedial .legislation as Its judg
ment may approve.
Patents to Foreigners.
In granting patent* to foreigners tho'
proper course for this country to fol
low is to give tho same advantages to
foreigners' here that the countries In
which those foreigners dwell extend In
return to our citizens; that Is, to ex
tend the benefits of our patent laws on
inventions and the like where In re
turn the articles would be patentable
in the foreign countries concerned ?
where an America^ could get a corre
sponding patent in such countries.
Indian Affairs,
The Indian agents should not be de
pendent for their appointment or ten
ure of office upon considerations of
partisan politics; the practice of ap
pointing, when possible, ex-array offi
cers or bonded superintendents to the
vacancies that occur Is working well.
Attention Is Invited to the wide
spread Illiteracy du<i to lack of public
schools In the Indian Territory,
Prompt heed should be paid to the
need of education for the children, in
this Territory. * m
8afety-Appliance'H-aw.
In the matter of the'snfety-appllance
law much good has already been ac
complished. The law should be vigor
ously enforced. ?
Pensions.
No other class of our citizens de
serves so well of the Nation as those
to whom the Nation owes its very be
ing, the veterans of the civil war. Spe
cial attention Is asked to the excellent
work of the Pension Bureau In expend
ing and disposing of pension claims.
During the fiscal year ending puly 1,
1903, the Bureau settled 251,982 claims,
an average of 825 claims for each work- |
lng day of the year. The number of set
tlement since July 1, 1903, haB been In
excess of last year's average, approach
ing 1,000 claims /or each working day,
and It is believed that the work of tho
Bureau will be current at the close of
the present fiscal year.
Civil Service Extension.
During the year ended June 30 last
25,566 persons were appointed through
competitive examinations under the
clvll-servlce rules. This was 12,72 more
than during the preceding year, nnd 40
per cent oif those who passed the ex
amination. This abnormal growth was
[ largely occasioned by the extension of
classification to the rural free-delivery
service and tne appointment laet year
of over 9,000 rural carriers. A revision
I of the clvll-servlce rules took effcct on
April 15 last, which has greatly Im
proved their operation. The completion
of the refbrm of the civil service Is rec
ognized by good citizens everywhere as
a matter of the highest public Import
ance, and the success of the merit sys
tem largoly depends upon tho effec
tiveness of the rules and thC-fliarhln.
cry "provided for their enforcement. A
very gratifying spirit of friendly co
operation exists in all the Departments
of the Government In the enforcement
and uniform observance of hath the
let(er and spirit of the/ilvil-servlce act.
Executive orders of July 3, 1902; March
26, 1903, and July 8, 1903, require that
appointments of all unclassified labor
ers^ both In the Departments at Wash
ington and In th#*flt[td service, sh^li
bo made with the assistance Of-The
United States Civil Service Commis
sion, under a system of registration to
test the relative fitness of applicants
for appointment or employment. This
system Is competitive, and Is open to
all citizens of the United States quali
fied in respect to ago, physical ability,
moral character. Industry, and adap
tability for manual labor; except that
In case of veterans of the civil war the
element of age is omitted.
Board of Charities.
The report of the Board of Charl
tleB for the District of Columbia Is
submitted for the consideration of

Bureau of Corporations.
The message urges the establishment
of a Bureau of Corporations. This In
the opinion of the President will ac

The Army.
The effect of the laws providing a
Oeneral Staff for the Army and for the
more effective use of the National
Guard has been excellent. Great Im
provement has been made In the effi
ciency of our Afmy In recent years.
Such schools rs those erected at Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley and the
Institution of fall maneuver work ac
complish satisfactory results. The
good effect of thf-ip maneuvers upon
the National Guard is marked. and
ample appropriation should be made
to enable the guardsmen of the several
States to share in tfte benefit. The Gov
ernment should as soon as possible se
cure suitable permanent camp sites for
military maneuvers in the various sec
tions of the country. The service there
by renders^., not only to the Regular
Army, but'to the Nittlonal Guard of
the several States, will be so great as
to repay many times over the rela
tively small expense. We should not
rest satmed with what has been done,
however. The only people who are
contented with a system of. promotion
by mere seniority are those who are
contented with the triumph of me
diocrity jover excellence. On the other
hand a system which encouraged the
exercise' of social or political favorit
ism In promotions would be even
worse. But It would surely be easy to
devise a method of promotion from
grade to grade 1n which the opinion of
the higher officers of the service upon
the cantdates sh<W?ld be decisive upon
the standing and promotion of the
latter. Just such a system bow obtains
at West Point. The quality of each

Isthmian Canal.
fT^the act of June 28, 1902, the!
Kress authorized the President U
ter into treaty with Colombia for1
building of the canal across
Isthmus of Panama; it being provlc
that In the event of failure to seci
such treaty after the lapse of a rt
sotwble time, recourse should he hi
to building a canal through Nlcaragu^
It has not been necessary to conside
this alternative, as I am enabled tJ
lay before the Senate a treaty provid
ing for tin) building of the canal acrost
the Isthmus of Panama. Thi? was the\
routo which commended itself to the'
deliberate judgment of the Congress,
and we can now acqulro by treaty the
right to construct the canal over this
route. The question now, therefore, Is
liot by which route the Isthmian canal
shall be built, for that question has
been definitely and irrevocably de
cided. The question Is simply whether
or not wo shall have an Isthmian
canal.
When the Congress directed that we
should tako the Panama route un ler
treaty with Colombia, tho essence of
the condition, of course, referred not
to tho Government which controlled
that route, but to the routehitsclf; to
tlio territory across which the route
lay, not to the name which for tho
moment tho territory bore on the mapi
The purpose of the law was to au
thorize the President to make a treaty
with the power in actual control of
the Isthmus of Panama. This purpose
has been fulfilled.
Repudiation of Treaty by Colombia.
Last spring, under the act above re
ferred to, a treaty concluded between
the representatives of the 'Republic of
Colombia .'ind of our Government was
ratified by Ine Senate. This treaty was
entered Into at the urgent solicitation
of tho people of Colombia and after a
body of exports appointed by our Gov
ernment especially to go into the ma t
ter of tbo routes across the Isthmus
had pronoupced unanimously in favor
of tho Panama route. In drawing up
tills treaty c' ery concession was made
to tho people and to the Government
of Colombia. Wo were more than Just
iu^deallng with them. Our generosity
was* such as to make it a serious ques
tion whether we had not gone too far
in their interest at the expense of our
own; for i:i our scrupulous desire to
pay all j>,ossible heed, not merely to
the real but even to,th? fancied rights
of Qur weaker neighbor, who already
owed So much'' to 6nr protection and
forbearance, we yielded in all possible
ways to her desires in drawing up the
treaty. Nevertheless the Government
of Colombia not merely repudiated tno
treaty, but repudiated it in such man
ner as to make it evident by the time
th? Colombian Congress adjourned
that not the scantiest hope remained
of ever getting a satisfactory treaty
from them. The Government of Colom
bia ittado-the treatyr^wFyet Trhgrrtfio

was unanimous. It does not appear
that the Government made any real
effort to secijpe ratification.

efforts i? vtjpBjra treaty rights for the
