BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE.
Usually There Are Other Trouble te
Prove It.
Pain in the back is pain in the kid
neys, in most cases, and it points to
the need of a spe

move and cure the
congestion or in
flammation of the
kidneys that is in
terfering with their
work and causing
that pain, that

satisfactory.
Latin America.
One of the happiest events in recent
Pan-American diplomacy was the pacific.
Independent settlement by the govern
ments of Bolivia and Peru of a boundary
difference between them, which for some
weeks threatened to cause war and even
to entrain embitterments affecting other
republics less directly concerned. From
various quarters, directly or Indirectly
cQncernadJthc Intermediation of the Uni
ted States was sought to assist in a so
lution of the controversy. Desiring at all
tinif-s to abstain from any undue mingling
In the affairs of sister republics and hav
ing faith in the ab'llty of the govern
ments of Peru and Bolivia themselves to
settle their differences in a manner satis
factory to themselves which, viewed with
magnanimity, would assuage all embit
terment. this government steadily ab
stained from being drawn into the con
trovers f and was much gratified te find
Its confidence Justified by events.
On the ninth of July next these will
open at Buenos .V-jes the fourth Pan
American conference. This conference
will have a special meaning to the hearts
of all Americans, because around its date
are clustered the anniversaries of the In
dependence of so many American repub
lics. It is not necessary for me to remind
the congress of the political, social and
commercial importance of these gather
ings. You are asked to make liberal ap
propriation for our participation. If this
be granted, it Is my purpose to appoint
a distinguished and representative dele
gation, qualified fittingly to represent this
country and to deal with the problems of
Intercontinental interest which will there
be discussed.
The Argentine Republic will also hold
from May to November. 1910, at Buenos
Aires, a great International agricultural
exhibition in which the United States has
been Invited to participate. Considering
the rapid growth of the trade of the Uni
ted States with the Argentine Republic
and the cordial relations existing between
the two nations, together with the fact
that it provides an opportunity to show
deference to a sister republic on the oc
casion of the celebration of Its nation
al independence, the proper departments
of this government are taking steps to ap
prise the interests concerned of the op
portunity afforded by this exhibition. In
which appropriate participation by this
country is so desirable. The designation
of an official representative is also receiv
ing consideration.
The Pan-American policy of this gov
ernment has long been fixed in its prin
ciples and remains unchanged. "With the
changed circumstances of the United
States and of the republics to the south
of us. most of which have great natural
resources, stable government and pro
gressive ideals, the apprehension which
gave rise to the Monroe doctrine may be
jaid to have nearly disappeared and nei
ther doctrino as it exists nor any
other doctrine of American policy should
be permitted to operate for the perpetua
tion of irresponsible government, the es
cape of just obligations or the insidious
allegation of dominating ambitions on the
part of the United States.
Bes'de the fundamental doctrines of our
Pan-American policy there have grown
up a realization of political Interests,
community of institutions and Ideals and
a flourishing commerce. All these bonds
will be greatly strengthened as time goes
on and increased facilities, such as the
great bank soon to be established In Latin-America,
supply the means for build
ing up the colossal Intercontinental com
merce of the future.
My meeting with President Diaz and
the greeting exchanged on both Ameri
can and Mexican soil served. I hope, to
signalize the clove and cordial relations
which so well bind together this republic
and the great republic immediately to the
south, between which there Is so vast a
network of material interests.
I am happy to say that all but one of
the cases which for so long vexed our
relations with Venezuela have been set
tled within the past few months and that,
under the enlightened regime now direct
ing the government of Venezuela, provi
sion has been made for arbitration of the
remaining case before The Hague tri
bunal. Since the "Washington conventions of
1P07 were communicated to the govern
ment of the United States as a consult
ing and advisory party, this government
lias been almost continuously called upon
by one or another, and in turn by all of
the five Central American republics, to
exert itself for the maintenance of the
conventions. Nearly every complaint has
been against the Zelaya government of
Nicaragua, which has kept Central Amer
ica In constant tension and turmoil. The
responses made to the 'representations "of
Central American republics, as due from
the UiiltcdStates on. account .of .its. rela
tion to the Washington conventions, have
been at all times conservative and have
avoided, so far as possible, any semblance
of interference, although it Is very appar
ent that the considerations of geograph
ic proximity to the canal zone and of the
very substantial American interests In
Central America give to the Unit-d
States a special position In the zone of
these republics and the Caribbean sea.
I .need not rehearse here the patient
efforts of this government to promote
peace and welfare among these repub
lics, efforts which are fully appreciated
by the majority of them, who are loyal
to their true, interests. It would be no
less unnecessary to rehearse -here the
sad tale of unspeakable barbarities and
oppression alleged to have been commit
ted by- the Zelaya government. Recently
two Americans were put to death y or
der of President .Zelaya himself. They
were officers In the organized forces of
a revolution which was in control of
Hhoui half of the republic, and as such.

according to the modern enlightened
practice of civilized nations, they were
entitled to be dealt with as prisoners of

At the date when this message la
printed this government has terminated
diplomatic relations with the Zelaya gov
ernment, for reasons made public in a
communication to the former Nicaragua
charge d'affaires, and is intending to take
such future steps as may be found most
consistent with its dignity, itsjduty to
American interests and its moral obliga
tions to Central America and to civiliza
tion. '
Department of State.
I earnestly recommend to the favor
able consideration of the congress the es
timates submitted by the department of
state and most especially the legisla
tion suggested in the secrtary of state's
letter of this date, whereby It will be
possible to develop and make permanent
the reorganization of the department
upon modern lines in a manner to make
it a thoroughly efficient instrument in
the furtherance of our foreign trade and
of American interests abroad. The plan
to have divisions of Latin-American and'
Far-Eastern affairs and to institute a
certain specialization in business with
Europe and the near east will 'at once
commend Itself. These politico-geographical
divisions and the detail from the
diplomatic or consular service to the
department of a number of men who
bring to the study of complicated prob
lems in different parts of the world
practical knowledge recently gained on
the spot, clearly is of the greatest ad
vantage to the secretary of state in
foreseeing conditions likely to arise and
In conducting the great variety of corre
spondence and negotiation. It should be
remembered that such facilities exist in
the foreign offices of all the leading com
mercial nations and that to deny them
to the secretary of state would be to
place this government at a great disad
vantage In the rivalry of commercial
competition.
The consular service haa been im
proved under the law of April 5, 1906,
and the executive order of June 27, 1906,
and I commend to your consideration the
question of embodying in a statute the
principles of the present executive order
upon which the efficiency of our consular
service is wholly dependent.
Expenditures and Revenues.
Perhaps the most important question
presented to this administration is that
of economy In expenditures and suffi
ciency of revenue.- The 'deficit of 'the
last fiscal year, and the certain deficit
of the current year, prompted congress
to throw a greater responsibility on
the executive and the secretary of the
treasury than had heretofore been de
clared by statute. This declaration
imposes noon the secretary of the
treasury the duty of assembling all the
estimates of the executive departments,
bureaus and offices of the expenditures
necessary in the ensuing fiscal year,
and of making an estimate of the reve
nues of the government for the same
period; and If a probable deficit is thus
shown. It Is made the duty of the presi
dent to recommend the method by
which such deficit can be met.
The report of the secretary shows
that the ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year ending June 30, 1910.
will exceed the estimated .receipts by
$34,075,020. If to this deficit Is added
the sum to he disbursed for the Pan
ama Canal, amounting to J3S.000.000.
and Jl. 000.000 to be paid on the public
debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts
and exnendltures'will be Increased to
a total deficit of $73.075.fi20. - This def
icit the secretary proposes to meet by
the proceeds of bonds issued to pay
the cost of constructing the Panama
Canal. I approve this proposal.
In order to avoid a deficit for the
ensuing fiscal year. I directed the
heads of departments in the prepara
tion of their estimates to make them
as low as possible consistent with Im
perative governmental necessity.
Civil Pensions,
I am aware that there is a strong
feelinsr in both houses of congress, and,
possibly in the country, against the
establishment of civil pensions, and
that this has naturally grown out of
the heavy burden of military pensions,
which it has always been the policy
of our government to assume: but I
am strongly convinced that no other
practical solution of tho difficulties
presented by the superannuation of
civil servants can be found than that
of a system of civil pensions.
Frauds in the Collection of Customs.
I regret to refer to the fact of the
discovery of extensive frauds in the
collection of the customs revenue at
New York city, in which d number of
the subordinate emoloycs In the weigh
in:? and other departments were di
rectly concerned, and in which the
beneficiaries were the American Surar
Refining Company and others. The
frauds consisted in the payment of
duty on underweights of sugar. The
government has recovered from the
American Sugar Refining Company all
that it is shown to have been defraud
ed of. The sum was received In full
of the amount due. which might have
been recovered by civil suit against
the beneficiary of the fraud, but there
was an express reservation in the con
tract of settlement by which the settle
ment should not interfere with, or pre
vent the criminal prosecution of every
one who was found to be subject to
the same.
Criminal prosecutions are now pro
ceeding against a number of the gov
ernment officers. Th treasury de
partment and the department of jus
tice are exerting every effort to dis
cover all the Wrongdoers, including
the officers and employes of the com
panies who may have been privy to
the fraud. It would seem to me that
an investigation of the frauds by con
gress at present, pending the probing
by the treasury department .and the
department of justice, as proposed,
might by giving immunity and other
wise prove an embarrassment, in securing-
conviction of the guilty parties.
-The Tariff Act..
Two features of the new tariff act
call for special reference. By virtue
of the clause known as the "maximum
and minimum" clause, it is the duty
of the executive to consider the laws
and practices of other countries with
reference te the importation into those
countries of the products and mer
chandise of the United States, and if
the executive finds such laws and prac
tices not to be unduly discriminatory
against the United States, the mini
mum duties provided in 'the bill are to
go into force. Unless the president
makes such a finding, then, the maxi
mum duties provided -in the bill, 'that
is. an Increase of 25 per centad valo
rem over the minimum duties are to
be in force. Fear has been expressed
that this power conferred and duty
imposed on the executive Is likely to
lead to a tariff war. I beg to express
the hope and belief that no such result
need be anticipated.
The discretion granted to the execu
tive by the terms "unduly discrim
inatory" is wide. In order that the
maximum duty shall be charged against
the imports from a country. It is necessary-
that he shall find on the part, of
that country not only liscrimlnatlons
in its laws or the pract.ee under them
against the trade of the' United States,
b-at that the discriminations found
ahall be undue: that Is. without good
and fair reason. I conceive that this
power was reposed in the president
with the hope that the maximum du
ties might never be applied in any case,
but that the power to apply them woulw

enable the president and the state 6
partment through friendly negotiation
to secure the elimination from the laws
aad the practice under them of any
foreign country of that which is un
duly discriminatory. No one is seek
lig a tariff war or a condition In which
tne spirit of retaliation shall be
aroused.
Needs. of tha Navy.
The return of the battleship fleet from
its voyage around the world, in more
efficient condition than when it started,
was a noteworthy event of interest alike
to our citizens and the naval authorities
of the world. Besides the beneficial and
far-reaching effect on our personal and
diplomatic Telations In the countries
which the fleet visited, the marked suc
cess of the ships in steaming, around thei
world in all weathers 'in schedule time
has Increased respect' for our navy and
has added to our national prestige.
Injunctions Without Notice.
The platform of the successful party In
tthe last election contained the following:
'"The Republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and Integrity of
the courts, state and federal, and will
ever insist thatf theirs powers.. to enforce
their process and protect life, liberty
and property'shajl be preserved inviolate.
We believe, however, that- the rules of
procedure In the federal courts with re
spect to the issuance of the writ of in
junction should be more accurately de
fined by statute and that no injunction
or temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except where ir
reparable injury would 'result from delay,
in which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted."
I recommend that in compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate legis
Jation be adopted. The ends of justice
will best be met and the chief cause of
complaint against ill-considered injunc
tions without notice will be removed by
the enactment of a statute forbidding
hereafter .the Issuing of any Injunction
or restraining order, whether temporary
or permanent, by any federal court,
without previous notice and a reasonable
opportunity to be heard on behalf of the
parties to be enjoined; unless it shall ap
pear to the satisfaction of the court that
the delay necessary to give such notice
and hearing would result in irreparable
injury to the complainant and unless also
the court shall from the evidence make
a written finding, which shall be spread
upon tlte court minutesthat Immediate
and irreparable injury is likely to ensue
to. .the complainant, and shall define the
injury, state why it is irreparable and
shall also indorse on the order Issued the
date and the hour of the IssViance of the
order. Moreover, every such injunction
or restraining order issued without pre
vious notice and opportunity by the de
fendant to be heard should by force of
the statute to expire and be of no effect
after seven'days from the issuance there
of or within any time less than that pe
riod which the court may fix. unless
within the Injunction or order Is ex
tended or renewed after previous notice
and opportunity to be heard.
Second-Class Mail Matter.
The deficit every year in the post
office department is largely caused by the
low rate of postage of one cent a pound
charged on second-class mall matter,
which includes not only newspapers but
magazines ' and -miscellaneous periodicals-.
ine aciuai toss growing out or me trans
mission of this second-class mall matter
at one cent a pound amounts to about
JC3.0W.000 a year. The average cost of the
transportation of this matter is more than
nine cents a pound.
It appears that the average distance ov
er which newspapers are delivered to
their customers Is 291 miles, while the
average haul of magazines . is 1,019, and
of miscellaneous periodicals 1,128 miles.
Thus, the average haul of the magazine
Is three and one-half times and. that of
the miscellaneous periodical nearly four
times the haul of the daily newspaper, yet
all of them pay the same postage rate of
one cent a pound. The statistics of 1907
show that second-class mail matter con
stituted 63.91 per cent, of the weight of
all the mall, and yielded only 5.19 per cent,
of the revenue.
The figures given are startling, and
show the payment 'by the government of
an enormous subsidy to the newspapers,
magazines and periodicals, and congress
may well consider whether radical steps
should not be taken to reduce the deficit
in the postoffice department caused by
this discrepancy between the actual cost
of transportation and the compensation
, exacted therefor.
A great saving might be made, amount
ing to much more than half of the loss
by imposing upon magazines and peri
odicals a higher rate of postage. They
are much heavier than newspapers and
contain a much higher proportion of ad
vertising to reading matter, and the aver
age distance of their transportation is
three and a half times as great.
Postal Savings Banks.
The second subject worthy of mention
in the postoffice department is the real
necessity and entire practicability of es
tablishing postal savings banks.' The suc
cessful party at 'the lost election-, declared
in favor of postal savings banks, and al
though the proposition finds opponents in
many partB of the country, I am con
vinced that the people desire such banks,
and am sure that when the banks are fur
nished they will be productive of the ut
most good.
Favors Ship Subsidy.
Following the course of my distin
guished predecessor. I earnestly recom
mend to congress the consideration and
passage of a ship subsidy bill, looking to
the establishment of lines between our
Atlantic seaboard and the' eastern coast
of South America, as well as lines from
the west coast of the United States to
South America. China. Japan and tie
Philippines. The profits on foreign mails
are perhaps a sufficient measure of the
expenditures which might first be tenta
tively applied to this method of Inducing
American capital to undertake the estab
lishment of Amer!canlines of steamships
in those directions in'whlch we now feel
it most important that we should have
means of transportation controlled in the
Interest of the expansion of our trade. A
bill of this character has once passed the
house and more than once passed the
senate, and I hope that at this session a
bill framed on the same lines and with
.the same purposes may become a law.
Conserving National Resources.
In several departments there is present
ed the necessity for legislation looking to
the further conservation of our national
resources, and the subject Is one of such
importance as to require a more detailed
and extended discussion than can be er
teredupon in this communication. Fo
that reason I shall take an early oppor
tunity to send a special message to con
gress on the subject of the Improvement
of -our. waterways, upon the. reclamation
and irrigation of arid, semi-arid, and
swamp lands; upon the preservation of
our forests and the reforesting of suit
able areas; upon the reclassification of
the public domain with a view of sep
arating from agricultural settlement min
eral, coal, and phosphate lands and sites
belonging to the government bordering on
streams suitable for the utilization of
water power.
Political Contribution.
I urgently recommend to congress that
a law be passed requiring that candi
dates In elections of1 members of the
house of representatives and committees
in .charge of their candidacy and cam
paign file In a proper office of the United
States government a statement of the
contributions received and of the expen
ditures Incurred in the campaign for such
elections and that similar legislation be
enacted in respect to all other elections
which are constitutionally within the con
trol of congress.

Ground limestone Is better than

It is not necessary to inoculate the
soil for cowpeas, but it is necessary
for soy beans. It is much easier to
inoculate the soil for soy beans than
for alfalfa, but it is just as necessary.
Inoculating once is sufficient; it may
be done by putting a pint of the soil
containing the bacteria in the drill box
and letting it sift out with the seed.
On the majority of soils It is safe
to spread manure in the fall, either
for fall or spring plowing. If
manure has been accumulating around
the barn yard or in the manure k shed
it is a good time now to draw it out
and spread it upon the land. In no
way T does manure give .as large re
turns as when spread on grass land,
and there is no better time than fall.
The fall rains and winter snows will
soak It well into the soil where it
will be -available for t!.e grass roots
when they start in the spring.
Many plow sod in the fall for po
tatoes, sowing the field to rye, which
is turned under in the spring. This
freezes out and kills many of the
grubs which are always found in old
sod. As it is not necessary to plant
potatoes early the rye gets consider
able growth and chokes out all weeds.
It also protects the soil during the
winter. This method makes two plow
ings for one crop, but the advantage
is that the sod rots and the humus is
thoroughly mixed with the soil. The
rye also adds to the fertility and
makes the soil loose, giving the po
tatoes a chance to grow to a large
size. "
Look well after the water supply.
Keep all dishes and fountains scrupu
lously clean; at least once a week
give them a good boiling down in wa
ter in which washing soda has been
put and don't neglect this. If any
thing has to be neglected, neglect any
other thing rather than the water sup
ply, for success cannot be attained
without-this important factor in chick
en culture. But where chickens are
raised for profit as well as for pleas
ure nothing should be neglected, but
every little detail carefully attended to.

Don't offer much advice to the man

It is a poor way to plow the soil and
w it Hf without working before Dlant-
Ing, so that it dries out and cannot be
got into good condition. If the ground
Is plowed in tne xaii we snomu regit
upon It as early as possible in the
spring and cultivate or disk it several
times, so as to start and kill several
crops of weeds, and this will also put
the soil in good condition.
By the end of that time the land Is
exhausted, the yields are low and the
farmers are poor. The change to a di

crop systems of farming, the change
to more diversified and more conserv

more conservative of soil fertility

The floor in the horse barn is of
very great importance. The dirt floor
by most horsemen is considered to be
ideal in most respects. There seems
to be something beneficial to the
horse to permit him to lie close to the
soil. Then it makes a softer floor to
stand on7 than any other. However,
the dirt floor becomes objectionable
on account of its damp condition un
less the drainage is exceptionally
good. A well-drained dirt floor that is
kept covered with a plentiful supply
of bedding is without doubt the ideal
floor for a horse barn.
In the production of baby beef the
stockman should always remember
that the young animal makes quicker
and cheaper gains than the older one;
consequently, the young steer should
be kept pushed to his normal limit
every day of his - life.
