Introduction.—Mooes asked that thev might go three days' journey into the wil- demew, where they would be free from all intni»ioD, and where the worship of God which nfld been neglected could be rerived. Many neeni to think that thia proposition on the part of Moses was not sincere, and that he intended to go anc not return. But there is no suggestion that any such duplicity was planned. They^ wou!d have gone and worshippecl and returned, had they been permitted to do so; and then Ood would have oiade further demands upon Phavoah. It U not necewar)' for Jehovah to resort to trickery in order to accomplish His pur¬ poses.
1. "The Lord said.*' Or, as some think. the Lord had said, at some time in the past. V'ersea i-3 are evidently thrown m here in parenthesiH, as verses 4-8 seem to be a continuation of the interview Moses was having with Pharaoh at the close of the preceding chapter. Pharaoh had ordered Moaes to leave his presence, aqd threatened hini with death if he saw his face again (10:28, 29); and Moses said he i)'ouId.,,eee nisi face no more, but be¬ fore he left Phai*ftoh he threatened him with the death of the firct Ijorn. It was a terrible threat, but was carried out to the letter eoon after. 12:29-33. "One plague more." One more heavy blow must fall upon this hard-hearted monarch and his land, ere he will be comnelled to let go the favored objects of Jehovah's sov¬ ereign grace. The king of Egypt had am¬ ple warning of the terrible calamity that waa to come upon them, and if he bad repented and humbled bimaelf it might have been averted.
2. "Let every man borrow," etc. "Let them ask every man." etc. R. V. Bor¬ row is a wrong and misleading transla¬ tion. God commanded the Israelites to ask or demand a certain recompense for their past services, and He inclined the hearts of the H^^ptians to give liberally; and this, far from being a matter of op¬ pression, wrong, or even charity, was no more than a very nartial recompense for the long and painful seniccs which wo may say 600,000 Israelites had rendered to Kfrvpt. during many years. There cun be no doubt that during their servitude the profitfl of their labor went wholly to the Egyptians. Ood haa many ways of balancing accounts, of riRhting the op¬ pressed, and compelling those who have done wrong to make restitution. "Jew¬ els." etc. fbe work tranilated "jiwels" mav be translated "articles" or "goods." "The Israeliten received gold and silver, probably both in coin and iu plate of dif¬ ferent kinda."
3. "\'ery great." Because of the mira- t:\en he had wrought and the plagues he had brought upon the people. "This seems to be mentioned as a reason why no at¬ tempt had been made a^aini*t his life."
4. "About midnight.' God's judgments rome u|>on sinners when they leaHt expect it, and in their moments of fancied secur¬ ity. The darkness can not hide from God; we know not what will be in tlie approach¬ ing night. The wicked may awake to find that the stern mef:^enger of eternal justice has seized upon them. "Will I go out." In ibis laat plague Ood is represented as descending in person. Tliis was designed to impress Pharaoh with the terrible char¬ acter of the next judgment.
fl.    "The first born."    It has been aug-
Katcd tbat this miirht not in every caae vc meant the oldcHt child in the family, as that child might now have heen dead or absent; but, inaRuiurh aa there waa not a house where there waa not one dead (12: 30), the word in some cases must have meant the "most eminent." <ir the "best beloved." In this sense the term is fre¬ quently used. "Behind the mill." The imor captive slave employed in the harde.st labor. It was the custom then, aa it is with the Arab^ at present, to grind their corn with hand-mtU*, turned by their wom¬ en Kcrronts, wib, for that purpose, stood behind the mill.
6. "Great cry." The Egyptians were excessive in their manifestations of grief. "They whipiwd, beat and tore them¬ selves, and when a relative died they ran into the streets and howled in the raoi<t la¬ mentable and frantic manner." How dreadful must have been the accne when there was one dead in every house. Ko cuch wail ever went up before or since.
7. ".*^hnll not a dog," etc. The Israel¬ ites were not onlv to be free from deatli, but they were to depart without being mo- eated in any way; the dogs would not even hark ftt them. *^'Doth put a difference." riie Kjiyptians were crying, helpless, frivhtened, dead. The Inraelites were ouiet, peaceful, protected, blesaed. So tho f.ord alwavs nntM ;i <liffercnce between Hia people and Hia enemies. One haa the promise of this life and of that which ia Fo come; the other has nothing to expect but indignation nnd wrath from the hands of an ofTended Ood.
8. "Get thee out." See the fulfilment of this in Kx. 12: 31-38. "In a great an¬ ger." "In hot anger."~R. V. "Moses waa not in an unholy paniion; he was irieved at the wrversity of a wicked sou!."
10. ""The I.<ord hardened Pharaoh's heai't." God is sometimes said to do what Hc merely permits to be done, be¬ muse He can not wisely prevent it. But, by studying the narrative it will be seen that Pharoah hardened his own heart. "Harden" is used nineteen times in this account. Kleven times God is said to harden Ph:iraoh'« heart, five times the •ilmple statement in made that it waa hardened, and three times it is said (hat he hardened it himself. "In the narrative of what iU'inallv took p'lue. it la nni till after the sixth playrue that it is wild thnt the I./ord hardened hi^ heart, and only after the eighth plague Is the agency ex¬ clusively ascril>ed to Ood."

THE train rolled aloDg tlirough the darkness. Every half hour or so suiue small village was passed. First one could see the light afar off, lojkiug like clus¬ ter* of stars In their dimness, and tben, as the train reached each sta- tlv.n, they daizled the eyes o: the pas- scagert at tho windows and showed tbem the usual crowd of louugi'rs swinging Ibcir feet from the platftrm oud standing around tbe wooden depot.
Some had tholr han(^8 ia Ibelr pock¬ ets, some wero chewing tobacco aud looking oblivious of all passing things, time as well as trains. Still otbtr.?, half grown boys with impudent fctares, and small boys bearing waiters on which were thick white cups tilled with coffee and platters of cblckei), passed through tbe car.
Dick Harnett threw down his paper, yawned, tried to find a more comforta¬ ble position, looked out ot tbe wI:idow, nod finally settled hack agninst tbe cushion of his seat. Whether the change ot position made tbe traveler more at case could not be told, for tbe face with tho llrm, set month, wrinkled forehead and pained eyes, was far from restful looking.
So Mary would be married cn the morrow. In the paper he had Just seen an announcement of tho matTlage of Hiss Brevard, daughter of Colonel Jonathan Brevard, of Oakdale, North Carolina, to Mr. Thomas Falconer, of Springfield, Ohio. It was queer that the paper hadn't given her Christian name, queer, too, he had recelv,.J no invitation to tbe wedding.
In an hour or two this same train vould be nt Oakdale. How well be remembered the little town ^n tbe cloy hill, with Its two rival hotels near tbe station, the red clay cuts of the railroad down which he and .Mary used to run years ago! He could bil the oia Brevard house, with Its whiti. pillared piazza. Its massive front door, and tbe old brass knocker. Back cf the garden was tbe small scboolbouse fronting on tbe Dabbs road, for thoy bad roads, not streets. In Oakdale. Jim, Harry, Rosa, Mary aud he, bad gone there to school together. How often with his tin bucket of lunch be used to wait for Mary at the school- house door! Down the road to the pine tree they wculd go to eujoy their good things together.
Five years ago be bad r;one baek there, and Mary bad talked to bim under the same pine tree. Mary was eighteen tbeu, so tbere were no more fly avay curls and skirts) but she had the same demure smile, the same lit¬ tle dimples In ber bands, Ibat bad been hers as a cblld.
How he loved ber! He told ber so, but she did uut affect ber surprise, for It was quite genuine. She loved Dick Just as she did Uarry and Jim, her brothers^ Oh, she loved him bo .veil that way!
"Won't t at Bntlsfy you, dear'r' T'hen he had gotten angry, said that bis heart was lirnkeu, aud used olher bigb-fiowu language, "rapa meads tbings nicely with glue; sball I get bim to work on your heart?" she said. How could she laugh wheu be, ber playfellow, was miserable, aud she had causetl Ihc misery'/
After that dreadful day bo promised himself to go no more to Oakdale. Rosa at flrst wrote kind letters to him, and vas ever bis ardent supporter. But be kept bis word. Well, now It wouldn't matter. To-morrow she would be married, and he couldn't even think of hor as bis.
The train had almost reached Cuk- dale. Why shouldn't be stop there for Ibe night, walk by tbe old scbojlhouse and pine tree once more, und fliiisL his Journey on the morning irain'y

Everything had been finished. Auut Wincey had "done herself proud" ou ber shar of tho weddiug supper; tor uo fushlonabie wedding was this to le. lut a regular old lime "Infare." Wiu cey told the people who came to look ot  "little  missis'  weddlu'  fixin's."
Mary was tired. Tbe one brides maid who liad eome had gnue to bed witb a lieadRCbe. Uosa was tdlkiiis to Tom abuut .letalls of the woddiuj;. No oue Would iiiiss her, so ilir(iwii;g a light scarf over hor head, she walked rapidly down tto garden walk. Ua.l Ltlek receivml that invitatiuu'.' Maiy!

"Ob, Mary, lay darling, is it you? .\re you hurt?" And taking tbe girl In his arms, Dick ran up the garden I'atb to the bouse. "My darling, you are mine for one precious minute— mluo, ouly mlue:".\U(". srjothering ber laco wilh kisses, he husteucd Iuto the wide hall.
The doors flew opeu nt the noise of tlie hurrying footsteps, aud out rushed Ilosa, Tom, nnd old Colonel Brevard. Tiiv girl Foan reoovcred cousilousness, and Rosa, who linJ become bysterkcl iu the exclteiueut, had to be calmed i'y 'X"om.
"Why iu tJie deuce Isn't hn bclplug iMaiyV My poor little wbltc-fat-d darling needs some eae to comfort her." thought Dick.
When both girls were quieted, and Mary bad been enthroned in a big ehair, everybody beo'i'.u to talk at once.
"So you got the Invltatlcn, and came without writiug." said Uosa. "I told Mary that I boiled you cared euougb for your childhood friends to como to my wedding."

A bit of heaven seemed in Dick's heart, for Mary belonged lo no ono. Perhaps, nfter all, there was a cbnuc;' for bim.

NEED    OF     STORAGE    RESERVOIRS.
Both the Flood Sarplne and Resnlar Sap. p!y of StreMBS Needed.
A recent bulletin ot tbe Division of Hydrography, United States Geolog- lenl Survey, remarks that the storage ol luost of the spring waters which vould otherwise go to waste has come to be one ot tbe necessities ot the Western States. In past years water was considered Important largely In connection with tbo limited omount of land tben under Irrigation, bnt so rapidly huve the demands of Irrigation advanced nnd so grctly is water needed, not only fur this, but for other uew purposes as well, such as cheap power to generate electricity and tor town and city supply, tbat It bas now become a question cf sovicg all tho water of the streams, ttat ri tho freshet season iu tbe spring as mucb ns possible, as well as the summer's flow, to meet the Increasing demands. Tbis must be done by the construc¬ tion of lar~e storage rese-volrs, and already great nctlvlty Is being sbowu iu the Western States, and espcciallj In Callfoi'uia, In making preliminary surveys tor those necessary aud Im¬ portant uudertuklugs.
The United States Geological Sur¬ vey has recently published, in Its in¬ teresting series of water supply and Irrigation papers, tbe results of one of tbcBe luvestlgatlous looking to the storage ot water In the valley ot Cache Creek, one ot the Important agricul¬ tural and trutt raising districts near Sacramento uoted for Its fertility and productiveness. Tbe basin ot this stream is also of considerable addi¬ tional Importance, as it contains at the bead waters of Cachea Creek the beautiful body of water kuown as Clear Lake, situated In tbe heart ot the Coast Bange, nt nu elevation of over 1800 feet obC-c sea level. Tbe purity ot its waters ant', its relative ueurness to Sau Francisco make its storage possibilities as a probable sup¬ ply tor that city of considerable value.

Washington, D. C—Presidcut Roose- velt'is tirst annual meiieuKe, whieh was T«ad before tlie t>enate and House of Hepresea- lativeti, is, in part, as follows:
Tlie Congress assetubles this year under the shadow of a great calamitv. Ott the 6t!i of September President McKinley was shot by an .\narchi8t while attending the Pan .\mcrican Kxposition at Buflalo, and died in that city on the lith of tbat month.
Of the last seven elected Presidents he is the third wtio liaH been murdered, and the bare recital of thia fact is sutticient to justify ijrave alarm among ali loyal Amer¬ ican citizens. Moreover, tlie circumstances of this, tiie third assassination of an Amer¬ ican President have a pecularily sinister significance. Hoth President Lincoln and Preeident Garheld were killed by assass- ins ot types unfortunately nut uncommon in history; President Lincoln falling the victim to the terrible iiassions aroused by four years of Civil War, und President Garticld to the revengeful vanity of a dis¬ appointed ofHceseekcr. Presidcut McKin¬ ley was killed by an utter'.y depraved crim¬ inal belonging to that body of criminals who obicct to all governments, good and bad ttlikcj who are against any form of popular liberty if it is guaranteed by even the most just and liberal laws, antl who arc as hostile to the upright exponent of a free iieople's sober will as to the tyran¬ nical and irresponsible deapot.
President itoosevelt then pays a high tribute to the late i^resident as a man, a citizen and a statesman. In concluding his eulogy the President said: "We mourn a good and great President who is dead, but while we mourn wc are lifted up by the splendid achievements ut hia life and the arand hertiisiu with which he met hia death."
The President, in referring to the crime which so shocked the community, snid that the blow was aimed not at the Presi¬ dent, but at every symbol of government. It was the bold detiaiire of anarchy of all law and order. The .\narohi8t is a crim¬ inal whose perverted instincts Ic.id him to prefer confusion and chaos to the most beneficent form of social order.
President Koosevelt then declares thnt anarchistic speeches, writings and meet, ines are essentially seditious and treason¬ able. He urges Congress to enact such legislation as will bur all Anarchists or persons justifying the murder of those placed in authority from entering the country. The President continues: The Federal courts should be given jurisdiction over any man who kills or attemnts to kill the President or any man who, by the Constitution or by laws, is in line of suc¬ cession for the Presidency, while the pun- ishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be proportioned to the enormity ot tlie offence against our institutions.
Anarchy is a crime aKainst the whole human race, aud all nianlcind slioulil band ngainst the Anarchist. His crime should hc made an offence aeainst the law uf na¬ tions, like piracy and tliat form of man- eteuling known as the slave trade, for it is of far blacker infamy than either. It should be su declared by treaties among all civilised powers. Such treaties would give to the Federal Oovernmeut the pow¬ er of dealing^ivith the crime.
President Rooievelt refers in congratula¬ tory terms to the prosperity of the nation, but uttera a warning to the men who seek to add to their possessions by gamhtinK in any form and unwise speculation, as tliey nre a source of menace nut only tn them¬ selves, but to others, if the busiiiess world loses its head it loses what legisla. tion cannot supplv.
The President then considers the great accumulations of wealth nnd large indiis- Irial corjiorations. He says that the ere ation of great corporate fortunes has not been due to the tanlf nur to any other ((ovcrninental uctiun. but tu natural causes the husinesM  world.  oiteratiliK in  uther

President Roosevelt advises caution in dealing with the .ibiises involved in the question M inHu.sliial ninbiuations. He remarks: It csnnot to,, .iflcn lie pointed out that to strike with ignorant violence at the interests of one set uf men almost inevitablv endaufrers the interests nf all. The fundamental rule in uui- national life - the rule which undirlies all othcrs-is tlml. un Ihe whole, and in the long rnii. we sli;ill (to up or down together.

President Roosevelt s«v« that there are real and grave "vils connected with trusts, one ,.f the chief bein* overcapitalization li.c.iuse of its many baleful ionse,|ueiices. and irresolute and practical effort must he m.iilc to correct these evils     He cintinues
There IS a widesprend cuvi-liun in the minds uf Ihe American |«ople that the great cu(-ii.iratioiis known as trusts are ^n certain nf their features and tendencies hurtful to the general welfare. 1'his sitriiiits from no spirit of envv or uncharit- al.lone.s It d.ies not rest upon a lack of i:itelliitent a|ipre( lation of the necessity of iiit.etiiis changing and ch.ingpd contlitioiis of trade with new methods, nm u|ioii ig- noranie of the fact that cmhination ol cauit.il in the eflort to arcompiisli great tiiinits IB necessary when the world s pro ircss dem:inds Ibat great things tie done It IS based up«n sincere conviction that Cii,.liinslion and cnncy-ntration should be. nut iir ihlhited. hut »ui irvi.ed. and within re:is„iiah:r limits controlled, and in. my juilKnient  thi« ounMStion  is riitht
The Pre.idcnl l*iie»e. that the first es senlial in determining how to deal with the great industrial combinations is knowl¬ edge if the facts. PuVilicitv is the only sure remedy that can be invoked. The (".nveriimrnt. he declares, should have the right to msi«<t and examine the workings ut the large corpori|tK,ns engaged in inter¬ state  busineim.    Continuing  be says:
Artificial Ixxlies. sihh as c.->r|«>ratioB» and loint stock or other amsociations. de¬ pending upon any statutory law for tlietr existence or pltviieges. •ht>a!d he iub>e( t to projier governmental supervision, and full and aceur»te information as to., their operations should be made pubUc regu¬ larly at reawinable intervale.

The President then sUte* that if Con- Kress doea not have the power to frame a law which will enable the Fedeial Govern ment to exercise the control referred to. then, he believes, a constitutional amend- ment should be tubmitud to confer the jMiwer.
He recommenda the creation of a Cab¬ inet officer to be known aa Secretarv- of Commerce and Industries. It should be his provinoe to deal with commerce in ita broadest sense, including among many other things whatever roncema lalior and all matters affecting the great business corporations and our merchant marine.
After referring to the present prosperous condition of the wage-workera the Presi¬ dent remarks that every effort of legisla¬ tor and administrator should be bent to secure the nermanency of this stnte of affairs ana its improvement wherever possible. He saj-s that our labor should be protected ao far as it ia possible from the presence in thia country of any lohorers brought over hy contract, or ol those who, coming freely, yet represent a atandard of living ao de¬ pressed that they can undersell our men in the labor market and drag them to a lower level. 1 regard it aa neceaaary. with this end in view, to re-enact immediately tlie law excluding Chinese laborers and to strengthen it where%*er neceaaary in order to make its enforcement entirely effective.
President Roosevelt declarea that eur present immigration lawa are unsatisfac¬ tory. He lielieves that a comprehensive law should be enacted with the object of working a threefold improvement over our present system. First, we should aim to include nil persona who are known to be Anarchists, and also all persons who are of a low moral tendency; secondly, to secure by a careful teat some intelligent capacity to appreciate American institii- tions and to act sanely as American citi- zens; and thirdly, to excnn* all peraons who are below a certain atandard of eco¬ nomic fitness to enter our induatrial field ns competitors with American labor.
The President is in favor of letting the tariff rest without revision for the pres¬ ent.   He says:
There is general acquiescence in our present tariff system as a national policy. The first requisite to our prosperity is too continuity and stability of this economic policy. Nothing could be more unwise thau to disturb the business interests of the country by any general tariff change at this time. Yet it is not only possible, but eminently desirable, to combine with the stability of our economic system a supplementary system of reciprocal benefit and obligation with other nationa. Such reciprocity is an incident and result of the firm establishment and prenervntion of our present economic policy. It was ea- peeially provided for in the present tariff la»'.
Reciprocity must be treated aa the hand
maiden of protection.   Our first dutv is to
>y   the
tariff in every case where it is needed is
see   that
protection  granted   by   tht
muintnined, and that reciprocity be sought for HO far as it can safely be done without injury to our home industries. The well- being of the wage-worker is a prime con¬ sideration of our entire policy of economic let^slation.
The natural mine of development for a policy of reciprocity will be in connec¬ tion with those of our productions which no loncer require all of the -eupport once needed to establish them upon a sound b.isis, and with those others where either because of natural or of economic causes we are beyond the reach of successful com¬ petition.
The next aubject discussed is the mer¬ chant marine. The Preeident says it ia discreditable to ns as a nation that only ft trifliiiK portion of our-great commerce ia earrieil on our own ships. To remedy thia state of things, he continuea, would uot merely serve to build up our shipping in¬ terests, but it would also result in benefit to all who are interested in the permanent establishment of a wider market for .\merican products, and would provide an auxiliary force for the navy. It should be made advantageous to carry American goods in American built ships.
At present Americau shipping ia under certain great disadvantages when put in competition with the shipping of foreign countries. Our Oovemment should take such action aa will remedy theae inequali¬ ties. The American merchant marine should be restored to the ocean.
For the first time appropriations for ir¬ rigation nnd the reclamation of desert lands are suggested. Appropriations, lim¬ ited to necessities, are bespoken for the im¬ provement of the rivers and harbors.
The President congratulates the country on the workings of the gold standard money system. He says it is timely and judicious nnd desirable to maintain. He )>raises the National Ranking law, but says there is need of better safeguards a.gainst tinancinl panics, and that the cur- renoy sbould be responsive to trade's de¬ mands.
The collections from duties on imports and internal taxes continue to exceed the ordinary expenditures of the (iovernment, thanks mainly to the reduced army ex- peuditurea. The utmost care should be taken not to reduce the revenues so that there will be any possibility of a deficit, but, after providing against any such con¬ tingency, means should hc adopted which will bring the revenues more nearlv with¬ in the limit of our actual needs. This sec¬ tion of the message closes with a demand for strict economy in expenditures.
President Roosevelt writes that ex'pe- ricnce haa shown the wisdom of the pur¬ poses of the Interstate C'ommeree act, but has also shown, possibly, that some nf its requirements are wrong certainly, that the means devi?ied for the enforcement of ils lirovisions are defective. The act should be amended. The railway is a public ser¬ vant. Its rates should be just to and open to nil shippers alike. The subject is one of great importance and culls for the earnest attention of the Congress.
After a brief reference to the splcndiil rurk in the way of uphiiilding domestic nd foreign trade which is being carried n by the Department of Agriculture, the message discusses our insular possessions.
In ffawaii our aim must be to develop the territory on the traditional American lines. We do not wish a region of large estates tilled hy cheap labor; we wiah n liealthv .American cominunitv uf men who themselves till the farms they own. All our legislation for the islands should be haped with this end in view.
It is n pleasure to say that it is hardly y to report as to Porto Rico uiv State or Territory within our continental limits. The island ia thriv- ...„ .. never before, and it is being admin¬ istered efficiently and honestly. Its peo- Ille are now enjoying liberty and order un¬ der the protection of the United States, and upon  this fact we congratulate them
In Cubn much progress has tieen made to¬ wnrd jiutting tlie iii'leiiendent governinent of the island upon a firm footing that be¬ fore the preeent session of the Congress closes Ihis will he an accomphshed fact. Cuba will then start ns her own mistress, nnd to the beautiful Q""'™ "' ''"' •*"' lilies, as she unfolds tbis new page of her destiny, w-e extend our heartiest greetings nnd guod wishes. I most earnestly ask vuur attention to the wisdom, indeed to the vital need, of providing lor a substnn ti.il ridiiction in the tariff duties on Cu. Imn imoorts into the I'nited States.
Ill the Philippines our problem is larger. Cur earnest effort is to help the people upward along the stony and dltli- iiilt (lath that leads to self-government. tVe hope to make our administration of the islands honorable to our nation hy iiinking It of the highest benefit to the Filipinos themselves, and as an earnest of what we intend to do, we point to what we have done. Already a greater measure uf material prosperity and of government¬ al honesty and efficiency has liecn attained in the Philipp'nea than ever before in their historv.
There are slill troubles ahead in Ihe islands. The insurrection has become au affair of liKil banditti and maraiiders. whi^ doser\'e no luirher regard than the brigands of iKirtioiis uf lie Old World Kiicouragement, direct or indirect, to these iiisurreclus stands on the same foot¬ ing a„ encouragement lo hostile Indians in   tlui _ijays   when   we   still   had   Indian
The time has come when there should be adilitional legislation for tbe Philip- nines Nothing lietter can lie done for the islands than lu introduce industrial enter prises. Nothing would benefit th«m so much as tbr.ioing them u|>en to induatcjyl develupmenl.
After railing attention to the rrying need of either a Covemmental or a pri¬ vately owned, cable tn Hawaii and the l*hil,jipines to be contintwd to points in .\aia. the message declares tkat not a single great nialerial work whirh remawa lu br undertaken ('n thu coDtioeBt ia ot surh conaetiueDce to the AaierieaB pt«plc as Ibe building of a caaal acroaa tba isth- mua conneetrng North asd Roath Aawr ica. lu itportiaee ta the tuoiaa is W no meana limited aaeralg lo lU malarial eflecu niHMi oar b—laam Draaiicnty, aad ret with view to theaa aCectf apaa oar ba^ncM uroeperity aiua* it weaU ba to tbe laM degree laiportaat for as tanaadi- ately to begiB it.

Continuing the President aaya:
The tme end of every great and fraa people should be eelf-reepecting ptace, and thia nation most earnestly tlesirea sincere and cordial friendship with all ot'iera. Over the entire world, of recent yeara, wara between tke great civilised powera have become leaa and leaa fre¬ quent. Wars with barbarous or aemi. barbnroaa peoples rome in an entirely dif¬ ferent catagory, being merely a most r*. f;r«ttablt but necessary intemational p<> ice iatj n hick must be parfonnfed. Feaea can oiinr be kept with certainty whata both aidea wish to keep it, but mora and more the eiviliied people* arc realiiiag tha wicked folly of war and are attaining that condition of juat and intoliifaat regard for tke righta ot othera. which win in tha end, aa we hope and believe, nuke world¬ wide peace possible. The pasca confer¬ ence at The Hagna gave dennito azpraa- aion to thia hope and belief and marked a stride toward their attainment.
Thia sam* peace eonferenee temiaaead in our statement of the Moiuroa Ooetrina a* compatible with the pnrpoaes and aim* of the coniatanoe.
Our people intend to abide by the Mon¬ roe Doctnn* and to iqaiat upq^ it a* tba one sure mean* of aecuring tbt paaea of Ihe Western Hemisphere. The navy of¬ fers ua the only meana of makiB(( oar in¬ sistence upon the Monroe Doctnaa any¬ thing but a aubject of deriaion ta whalaTsr nation chooaes to diategard it. We dcsira the peace whick comes aa of rickt to tba just man armiH], not tbe peac* granted tm terms of ignominy to the craven aad th* weakling.
It is not poaaible to improve a navy af¬ ter war breaks out. The ahipa mmt b* built and the men trained long in advaae*.
The work of upbuilding tn* navy muat be steadily continued. jNt^ona point ol our policy, foreign or flomeatie, it mora important than thia to the konor aad ma¬ terial welfare, and above all to th* peace, of our nation in the future. Unl*** our commerce is alwaya to be carritd in for¬ eign bottoms, we muat have war craft to protect it. So far from being in any way a provocation to war, an adequate ana highly trained navy ia the best guaranty against war, the cheapest and most affae- ti\'e peace inaurance. Tke c-oat of bnild¬ ing and maintaining auch a navy rcprfr aents the very lighteat premium for iiunr- ing peace which tkia nation caa poaaibfar pav. The President thinks the Naval Mil¬ itia forces and the National Naval Ba- serve should receive hearty ancouraga- ment.
It is not necessary to increase our army beyond its present site at thia time. But it is necessary to keep it at the bigheat point of efficiency. The individual unite, who as officers and enlisted men compoae this artny are, we have good reaaon to be¬ lieve, nt least ns efficient a* tko*e of any other armv in the entire world. It i* our dutv to see that their training i* of a kind to insure the highest posaihl* ezpT«*(ion of power to these unite when acting in combination.
No other citiien deserve* M> well of th* Republic as tke veterans, the survivor* of those who saved the Union. We are now indeed one nation, one in fact a* well a* in name; we are united in our devotion to the flag which is the aymbol of national greatness snd unity, and the \'ery com¬ pleteness of our union enables ns all, in every part of the country, to glory in the valor shown alike by the aona of the Nortk snd the aona of the South in the time* that tried mcn'a soul*.
The President atate* that the merit *y*- tem of making appointment i* a* Ameri¬ can as the common school *y*tem, and then recommends the reorganization of tbe consular aervice.
Cordial aupport for the St. Louis and Cliarleston exnoaition* i* bespoken, and tkcn postal affaire are treated. The an¬ nual postal deficit haa been *te»dily re¬ duced from »I1.4I1,779 in 1807 to $3.I«S.727 in 1901. Among tho recent postal ad¬ vances the succeaa of rural free delivery wherever cstsbliahed haa been *o marked that, and actual experience haa made ite benefits ao plain, that the demand for ite extenaion is general and urgent.
The measage after felicitating the coun¬ try uiion the successful settlement of tke questions growing out of tke anti-foreign uprising in Ckina, conclude* aa followa:
Tke death of Queen Victoria cauaed the people of tke United Stete* deep and heartfelt eorrow, to which the Oovemment gave fun expreaaion. When Preeident McKinley died our nation in turn re¬ ceived from every quarter of tke BritUh Empire expreasiona of grief and •ympatby no less sincere. The death of the Empre** Howager Frederick of Germany al»o aroused the genuine sympathy pf tb* .\merican people, and thia aympathy wa* cordially reciprocated by Oermany when the President was assaaainated. Indeed, from everv quarter of the civilised world we received, at tke tim* of tke Prcndent • death, assurance of auch grief and regard OS to touch the hearts of our people. In tue midst of our affliction we reverently thank the Almighty that we are at peace with the nationa of mankind, and we firmly intend that o«r policy skall be auch at to continue unbroken the*e interna¬ tional relation* of mutual reepect ani* good will.    ,j,jjj.Qjjogj, ROOSEVELT.
