PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To the Senate and IHotse of Represenita-,
tives:
At tle outgoing of the old nild the in
coming of the new century you begin th
Itst session of the Fifty-sixth congress
with evidences on every hanlid of inidi
Vidual ind 1n11(itional prosperity aind with
proof of the growing Strength 11111 in
creasing power for good of Repiblieain
instititions. Your countrymen will join
with you il felicitation that American
liberty is more firmly established thia
ever before land that love for it land the
determination to preserve it are more
liniversal thi a at any former period of
our history.
In our foreign intercouirse the dominiant
question has been thle treatment of the
Chinese problem. Apart from this our
relations with the powers have been
happy.
Tle recent troubles in Chinna spring
from the amitiforeigi agitiation w-hich for
the pisi three years h111a gainied strength
i the northern provinces. Their origin
lies deep in tile character of the Chinese
races and inl the traiditions of their gov
ernlment. The telegraph andlt] tle railway
f4preidinlg over tlir lr and, the steamers
plying on their waterways, tile merchiltli
and the llissiolnilry plenetrating yelar by
yellr failther to tlV interior, beeimie to
tihe Chinese mind types of an alien In
vilsionl, (hanliging the course of their na
tionllll life and fraught with vague fore
hodings of dlisister to their beliefs ind
their seir control.
Posting of ainitiforeign pliclirds becanme
a daily ovciirrence. which the repeated
reprobation of the imperial power failed
to check or punish. These intilmmiliatory
a1ppeals to the ignIorance aid superstition
of tihe masses, lieidilaioius aitd abh.surd in
their Ieeusmtions aind deeply hostile In
their spirit, could not but work cumula
tive harm. They Imitled at not) particilrIi
closs of foreigners; they were impartial
in attacking (verything'foreign.
Ai outbrcnick in Shagtmng in which
Gernif Ilissionailries were slain was the
too Ilitull-A result of these mialevolent
teachings. The posting of seditious pl
cards, exhortig to the utter destructioll
of foreigners a11(l of every foreign thing,
coathimuled unr1ie-buked. I[ostile deionstria
tiols towa.rd the stringer gainled strength
by organization.
The Hoxern.
The sect conmnonly styled the Boxers
developed greatly in tile provinces north
of the Yang-t-se 11d with the collusion of
11manly iotable olficials, includig some in
the imimleditate counils of the thronie it
self, becam1e ailarminigly aggressive. No
foreigner's life, outside of the protected
treaty pors, was safe. No foreign inter
est was secure from splintion.
The diplomatic represenltiatives of tile
powers in Peking strove ini vain to check
this movement. Protest was followed by
demand and] delimanid by reniewed protest.
to be met with perftlultory e(i(ts from
tihe plallice anlld evasive land futile iassur
nnees from the tsillg-li-yalllen.
Thle illereasing gravity of the coidi
tions in( China and the imminence of peril
to our Own diversified interests in the piim
pire, as well as to those of all the other
treaty governments, were soonl appreci
.ated by this goverliment, causing it pro
found solicitude. The United States
front the earliest dIys of foreign inter
-couise with China had followed i policy
.of peace, Oilitting 11o Occasions to testify
goodN will, to further the extension of 1iNw
fill trade, to 'espect the sovereignty of its
government and to insure by all legiti
mate aid kindly but earnest mklellns the
fullest measure of protection for the lives
and property of Inw abiding citizen-is anlld
for the exercise of their beneficent call
ings aliliong the Chinese people.
Mindful of this, it was felt to be appro
priate that our PIrposes should be pro
n1onn11ced il favor of such cour.se as woIIldl
hasten united action of the powers at Pe
king to promote tle administRative re
forms so greatly needed for strengthen.
ng ,the imperial government and( main
taimmug the integrity of China, in which
we believed thle wvhole western world to
be alike concerned. 'To these ends I
caused to lIe add(ressedl to the several
powers'. occuplyig territory and ma in ta in
lng sphleres of influence in China the cir
cular proposals of 1899, inviting from
themi declaratIons of their- intentions and
iews ais to'3hle desirab,ility of the adop
tion of mieasuries insuring the benefits of
equality of treatment of all foreIgn trade
throughout China.
With gratifying unanimity the re
sponses coincided in this comnuo policy,
enabling me to see in the successful ter
milnat ion of those negotiations proof of
the friendly sp1irit wvhmih animates the
varIous plowers inlterested in thle untr'ami
meledi dlevelopmen0t of commeorce andit in
dlustry Ill tile Chiniese emplire as ai source
of vast benefit to thio whole commercial

Ini this conclusIon, which I had the
gratification to anniounce as a comupletedh
engagement to the inter'ested powers oui
anrch 20, 1000, I hopefully discerned n
potential factor for the abatement of the
.dIstrust of foreign purwpoges which totr a
year past hiad appear'ed to inirio the
plolicy of the ImperIal gov'ernmnent and
for' the effective exertion by it of power

The Childron's Playmates.
F'l'erhaps the ')nost difficult prob
lei which a itother has to solve is
die subject of her children's play
mitates. 1Happy is the mother who
cai choose her children's friends
for thei ; although, even when
choice is possible, it is dillicult to
Iiserinlinate. It is not always the
bil4d wlho comi1es from1 the home of
7ture and refinemnenlt who has tho
1inest character ; neilther is it inva
iiably the child who has the most
lasing m11iann11et or the liost col.
ect liabit of speech, for these
1 ,ings may hide an itiner rudeness,
>r even vulgarity, which is con
.iniiiating. These are children
Al ht learin early to appear quite
di1lerently when they are with their
elders froim what they do with their
jktNyniiItes, and the one way 1o
Cboose is by knowledge, and, hay
lig that, what qualities shall de
r Iie Choice Y
aida iiother who was onl one
of tie lower rouids of tle social
ladder: "\ly little daughter plays
\it telie children of the -wealthiest
pieople inl town." 'very effort was
ma1.1de to have tint child's dress
inal that of her playmates; she
%\as sent to their school, she at
tendled their Church. By dint of
.n1ucih jidicious pushing she finally
iiarried one of their number and
ecalie a fashionable and worldly
minded woman. The nother had
ner regard ; her daughter was fixed
ihe vety place where she miost
desired to see Ier ; bit the beauty
Of it was turned to ashes inl that
Ilot her's heart, for she lived to see
the day when her daughter was
Ashllued to be inl her coipanly.
S.id aiother Iother who had
been born to an assured social posi
tion : "i iake it a rule that my
child shall tnever associate with
childr'eiN who are beneath her, be
cause Whenl she is older and coie&
ilut inl society, it would1 make hard
feelings to duscriiinate.''
Tiit mot liet has a daughi.er who
is I very gentle, well bred girl, but
has no tiore knowledge of human
nature than if sie resided on an
other plaiet. She is narrow.mind
ed aId igioraniit, quite unable to
be a force in life either beneficial
or otherwise.
Siely it is not the part of wis
domn to choose by any artificial
standart. Goodness is as valuable
at quality inl Children as it is inl
adults, and it is tle chief thing by
which choice should be determined.
The only way to become ac
qpaiited with a child is to be with
it. Sometimes the mother says:
"Leave tie children to themselves,
tIhey will etnjoy tle play spell lluch
Liette.'' But that is not best for
the children. It is not wise to have
the play-room itn the fourth story
n11( the sitting-rooi on the first
floor. It is better for the children
whlen tmot her is necar, and t hey wvill
oe lhapptiier for her presence. Trtie,
liey' will int etrrupt her. There are
somIie tings shie wili niot be able to
do if she stops to mtenid the b)rokent
stolly, or o1 fi nd thle proper bobs
bor the tail ohf a kite; butt site will
oc gutardi ng, training, dheveloping
bier chiildtent, anid is there anything
mi the world of equal im portance?1
lHut somnetimews it is not p)ossible
for a tmot her to exercise a choice of
tier cii dren 's friends. She may
ne oligedl to live in ai neighbor
11ood or to send to a school where
the cild (ren as ia claiss areC not w hat
die would desire. Under stich cir
ttonstanlces whot cant a mother do?
IhlI sihe i solate her clild1ren and
deny thiem tile comipamtoishi p which
lite ir natuLIralI right, and without
sv hiich tile)? caninot healthfully dhe
velop. That surely is not the best.
If she is a brave wvomnan, with at
heart lull of lov'e amid wisdom, shte
nas an opportunility giveni her for
hie1lpfulntess that an angel might
env ~y. Thie object lesson of one
gotod mot01her wvhio is traininig hter
cihlreni successfully is worth a
thouoisand years of preach intg in
such a neigh b)orhioodl. But in order
to help others without injuring her
own, she must live very near to the
cliilldreni's hearts, she must possess
their full conifidence. Few motht
ers (10 that, yet the moment a child
has a thiouighit whlich lie wishes to
Lonceal from his miothecr he is in
danger.
'We speatk often of the great in
hluenice for evil which at child
wieldIs. W~ (10 not think so much
is we shldi( of what a tremendous
piower for good a sweet, purie
mindl(ed,. unseltish child ptossesses.
Othier children cannot be with such
,child without longing to be like
tim andl trying to imnitate linm.
JTherefore, the mother of stuch a
child need1 not fear to let her chil.
dren who aire not morally his
equls be ini his comnpanty if she is
also near. They may visit yotur
children whien it might not be wise
for your ciii ldrenl to frequent their
Itomies, and1( fromi thle sunlhght of
your pr,eene anid the sweet inftt.
